Send us a text Elena Cerkvenic recently published a book, Sono Schizofrenica e amo la mia follia, which translated  means:  I am schizophrenic and I love my madness.  This book ia part of a new series being published – La Collana 180:  Archivo Critico della Salute Mentale by Meltemi, a publisher in Milan.   Elena meets with us to share her story as a young woman, living in Trieste,  excited by her career studying and teaching languages and literature with a bright future ahead of her.  While on a study visit in Munich, at the age of 29, she experienced a psychiatric disruption that was sudden, scary and unexplainable.  Her life now is bright and full and she describes herself as happy and empowered.  She credits the mental health services in Trieste for supporting her recovery and coming alongside her as a “family,” especially during about 20 years of suffering when she was quite isolated and somewhat abandoned by her family and friends.  Elena was motivated to write this book as a source of hope for others who should not give up on their recovery and their future.  She provides a very first-person glimpse into the mental health services in Trieste and feels grateful for the kindness of the people she met along the way and their belief in her potential. Bio from the official website for the book:Elena Cerkvenič was born in Trieste into a Slovene minority family. A graduate in Languages, she has taught German in middle and high schools. She is currently involved in initiatives for the dissemination of Slovenian language and culture and is involved in associations of people who live or have lived the same experience as her. Her publications include the poetry collections Amore chissà se (2009) and Sapor di.vini (2012). Links:"Sono schizofrenica e amo la mia follia": presentato il libro di Elena Cerkvenič - RTV SLOShe speaks about the influence of philosopher Pier Aldo Rovatti.    If you want to reach out to Elena, please send an email to kerryhmorrison@gmail.com.

David & Katka Bordner share their profound experiences of suffering, faith, and community as they recount their journey through various health challenges while serving in Slovenia. Their story begins with a transformative trip to Slovenia that led to a lifelong commitment to youth ministry and missions. From David's persistent health issues starting in 2004 to Katka's own health struggles amidst the global pandemic, the couple discusses how they navigated suffering together. They explore themes of biblical lament, the power of community, and the importance of maintaining faith during difficult times. The episode underscores the profound impact of suffering in deepening one's relationship with God and highlights the delicate balance of celebrating and lamenting life's hardships.   Katka grew up in Slovenia and began serving with Josiah Venture back in 2001. After graduating from Multnomah Bible College in 2003, David joined the team in Slovenia as a one-year intern. His passion and love for the people of Slovenia quickly grew, and that internship turned into a long-term commitment. After working together for 2.5 years, David and Katka began dating and were eventually married in September 2006. After serving 15 years together in their local church in the capital city, Ljubljana, with David as the youth pastor, and Katka leading the worship team, they felt a clear call to a new city. In 2018, they moved to the coastal city of Koper, where they are passionate about helping grow the local youth ministry, continuing to train and equip worship leaders around the country, and developing a new songwriting ministry for Slovene churches.

Every year on the 31st of October, an Eastern European country named Slovenia celebrates Reformation Day - the day Martin Luther posted his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg. It's a national holiday when people stay home from work and school. Particularly interesting is that less than 1% of Slovenians are Protestant! So why these celebrations? Tune in to Kids Talk Church History as Emma, Christian, and Ruth discuss this with Slovenian historian Todd Hunnicut and delve into the adventurous life of Primoz Trubar, the father of the Slovenian language. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are excited to offer a bundle of Simonetta Carr's books to two listeners! The winner will be selected just in time for Christmas. Register here to win this special giveaway!

It is designed as an evangelistic tool, but it also shows key ideas from the Katekizem.  An English translation of the first printed Slovene song. Here is a link of my wife, myself and a friend singing it in Slovene. The tune is a German church song, but a completely different text. It's a great summary of the Gospel message, mixing the biblical narrative of Genesis 3 and 4 with extra Gospel/Christ comments. Imagine this being the first ever printed song in the language, and the solid, simple Gospel message in it. https://youtu.be/zZ8LgodEFRk?si=IxFDPv1bJVdqKYxi A section introduction and three chapters I wrote for the Slovene version of the missionary/Christian hero biographies book, Hero Tales. A family devotional with stories from Trubar's life that might be the most appealing of these to kids. The final section of the Katekizem, the “Sermon on Faith.” This is key because the phrase “Stand and Withstand” which is well-known, which is on the Slovene €1 coin, is here in its proper context. It's on page 5 in the fourth paragraph. The part before that, where he defines true faith, I find to be very, very profound; I quote this in sermons in English and in Slovene often because it's a gritty, realistic, biblical view of what faith is – basically holding on to God's truth on the Word no matter what.

It's a very special vortex of exhilarated growth, and that's exactly what it offered - especially within the realms of relationships & health. It was a summer of close community life, rain, volunteering, dancing, singing, loving, crying, orgasming, drinking tea, praying, picking blueberries, running naked through the forest, bathing in lakes, having TREE-somes, attending a bunch of temple nights & spanking workshops, experimenting with polyamory, receiving new blueprints of relating, riding through some panic attacks & dealing with some tricky infections. Join me for this saucy ride through my summer of 2023.

My guest today is Troy Kokoszka, author of "Bogowie: Bogowie: A Study of Eastern Europe's Ancient Gods" from Moon Books. T.D. Kokoszka grew up in Texas with a Jewish mother and a Polish-American father. While he was aware of roots going back to Eastern Europe from both families, he found it hard to learn very much about them. He knew that Polish people would whack one another with palm leaves around Easter, and he knew that his great-grandmother purportedly believed in forest spirits known as borowy. However, it wasn't until he was in his teens that he became vaguely aware of an ancient people known as the Slavs who gave rise to the Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Slovene, and Czech languages. It quickly became clear to him that this was a family of cultures currently under-represented in popular culture, and even in western scholarship. Not simply a regurgitation of scholarship from the Soviet period - and presenting new analyses by using previously neglected resources - Bogowie: A Study of Eastern Europe's Ancient Gods offers one of the most painstaking scholarly reconstructions of Slavic paganism. These new resources include not only an overview of folklore from many different Slavic countries but also comparisons with 'ssetian culture and Mordvin culture, as well as a series of Slavic folktales that Kokoszka analyzes in depth, often making the case that the narratives involved are mythological and shockingly ancient. Readers will recognize many European folktale types and possibly learn to look at these folktales differently after reading this book.

Fika with Vicky's guest this week is Tory Kokoska. We'll be focusing on his fresh release of Bogowie - A Study of Eastern Europe's Ancient Gods. “T.D. Kokoszka grew up in Texas with a Jewish mother and a Polish-American father. While he was aware of roots going back to Eastern Europe from both families, he found it hard to learn very much about them. He knew that Polish people would whack one another with palm leaves around Easter, and he knew that his great-grandmother purportedly believed in forest spirits known as borowy. However, it wasn't until he was in his teens that he became vaguely aware of an ancient people known as the Slavs who gave rise to the Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Slovene, and Czech languages. T.D. Kokoszka has long cultivated connections with ADF (Arn Draiocht Fein) and utilized their research-oriented methodology for his own purposes. He also used his time at Texas State to research leading scholars like Vernadsky and Ivanits on the topic of Slavic history while simultaneously pursuing his B.S. there. He lives in Austin, TX.” https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/moon-books/our-books/bowgowie-eastern-europes-ancient-gods

Christ's one cosmic act of reconciliation in his life, death, and resurrection unleashed countless redemptive reverberations throughout history and in every believer's life. Echoes of Redemption are brief testimonies where we share one of those ripples flowing from Christ's central act of saving us. Mia Haas spent the summer doing a missions internship in the Eastern European country of Slovenia. She shares about the work God is up to there and how the Slovene church has impacted her walk with Jesus. "If we look at God's consistent character in the Bible, we see God using the youngest, smaller brother, the slave, the unwanted wife, the 8-year-old king, the sinner. And honestly we should expect God to use and work through small countries and people groups like Slovenia." – Mia

One of the first things you will notice in Slovene slang is the amount of German words! English ones as well, but given its history, German was way more present throughout the lives of Slovenians than English. Those are the words that are not only to be heard from youngsters since they`ve been a part of the language for some time now. Words like ‘cajt' (German = die Zeit – time), glih (German = gleich, right away, right now), plac (=der Platz – space, place) švicati (g. schwitzen – to sweat), pucati (g. putzen = to clean) are just some of many that you can hear every day.Support the showSupport Slavstvuyte through www.buymeacoffee.com/slavstvuyteFollow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin.For additional information, go to www.slavstvuyte.org All inquiries, questions, and comments can be sent to slavstvuyte@gmail.com

In a very frank interview with Radio Cycling's Chris Marshall-Bell, Israel-PremierTech team owner Sylvan Adams explains why four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome didn't merit a place in their Tour de France line-up and says that the British rider hasn't fulfilled the hopes IPT had for him when he signed an extremely lucrative multi-year contract three years ago. "He's supposed to be our leader at the Tour de France and he's not even here, so no I couldn't say he's value for money, no," Adams declares.While stating that he has the utmost respect for Froome and his racing achievements, Adams compares the seven-time Grand Tour victor to basketball all-time great Michael Jordan during his final season in the NBA, stating, "Father Time spares no athlete." Adams goes on to admit, "My idea was, ‘Wow, we're going to have somebody to be relevant for the GC at the Tour de France,' and that hasn't happened.”   We have the full audio of Adams on Froome.ALSO...Movistar boss Eusebio Unzue tells us that the Spanish team is aiming to rekindle its great days of the past by partnering with a new secondary sponsor from 2024, which will boost their budget to the extent that they should be able to compete on a more level footing with the dominant Grand Tour teams. Unzue also touches on the heavily rumoured signing of Ineos Grenadier Carlos Rodríguez, saying he'd love to have the hugely talented young Spaniard in Movistar's ranks. Could there be a new "tridente"?We get a Danish perspective on Tour de France yellow jersey and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard from former racer Michael Rasmussen. Now a member of the Tour's press pack, Rasmussen offers an insight into Vingegaard's personality and roots. He also says that this Tour is threatening to swing away from the Jumbo-Visma rider because there appears to be no terrain ahead where he can gain time on arch-rival Tadej Pogačar, and that the pendulum is swinging the Slovene's way.We also get an insight into the Jumbo-Visma team from their former star Tom Dumoulin. He tells us that that the Dutch outfit must keep faith in their tactical approach and suggests too that they would struggle to win the Tour if Wout van Aert did actually have to leave the race to attend the birth of his second child, as the Belgian was incorrectly rumoured to be doing just a couple of days ago.  And finally, in our Coffee Beans round-up of news and gossip...- Tom Pidcock can podium, Ellingworth tells us- Bora heavily linked with a sprinter - but it's not Wout van Aert!- Mark Renshaw says it's too early to know whether Cav will return  - ASO staff unhappy with the Tour mascot  Support the show

Sinéad Mac Aodha moderates.The discussion touches on Claire's latest novel, Small Things Like These; the beginnings of stories; the practice of writing fiction; translation and the relationship between author and translator. "...It begins when you make an incision in time. Fiction is a temporal art, it's based on time that's irreversibly passing in one direction. A day is a day, it is the same for everyone in every language, no matter where you are or what you're doing. And everybody knows what a days is. And I think maybe that is one of the reasons translation is possible, because of that shared knowledge." -- Claire KeeganClaire Keegan's works have been translated into many languages with the support of Literature Ireland, including into German, Slovene, Czech, Bulgarian, French, Spanish (Argentina), Chinese, Polish, Hebrew, Turkish and Swedish.

Jan is a Slovene architect who joined the London architectural scene in 2010 establishing himself at Squires before joining Northacre as a technical manager and being recognised as a rising talent and quickly promoted to lead the design department. Jan speaks very candidly and openly about his early obstacles in securing his first role in London, how he set himself apart and how he continues to hone his skills in what is developing to be a leading light in the design of some of London's most aspirational homes. Jan's appetite for testing himself, for speaking his mind and his incredible work ethic may have gotten him in some occasional hot water but ultimately they got him noticed and these traits continue to set him apart.Contact: ncarman@macdonaldandcompany.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nickcarman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Science of the Total Environment 657: 200-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.12.025 More info on the biopsy darts used to take samples from wild dolphins: http://www.kaosa.org.br/publications/23_Fruet_et_al_2016_Biopsy_darting.pdf These darts are quite small and cause minimal discomfort to the dolphin: "Tips measured 25mm in length and 8mm in diameter and had a cylindrical punch fitted with three internal barbs (to hold a sample in place) attached to modified darts. A cylindrical foam stopper caused the bolt to rebound after impact and limited the penetration depth to 20mm."
