It's a classic!"Ca: Però Oriol sabia que volia alguna cosa més especial, una cosa que mostrés les seves veritables emocions.En: But Oriol knew he wanted something more special, something that showed his true emotions.Ca: En aquell moment, va recordar una conversa amb la Clara mentre passejaven pel Parc de la Ciutadella.En: At that moment, he remembered a conversation with Clara while they were walking in the Parc de la Ciutadella.Ca: Ella li havia parlat del seu interès per l'art modern i de com li agradaven les obres atrevides i innovadores.En: She had talked about her interest in modern art and how she liked bold and innovative works.Ca: Aquell record li va donar una idea.En: That memory gave him an idea.Ca: Finalment, els seus ulls es van detenir en un print modern, ple de colors vius i formes peculiars.En: Finally, his eyes stopped on a modern print, full of vibrant colors and peculiar shapes.Ca: Era arriscat, però li va recordar aquella conversa especial amb la Clara.En: It was risky, but it reminded him of that special conversation with Clara.Ca: Decidit, va agafar el print i el va portar a la caixa.En: Decided, he picked up the print and took it to the checkout.Ca: L'endemà, es van trobar al parc i Oriol li va lliurar el regal.En: The next day, they met at the park, and Oriol handed her the gift.Ca: Clara va somriure, sorpresament emocionada.En: Clara smiled, surprisingly delighted.Ca: "M'encanta!" va dir ella, i en aquell moment, Oriol va sentir un impuls de confiança.En: "I love it!" she said, and at that moment, Oriol felt a surge of confidence.Ca: Amb el cor bategant, va decidir obrir-se.En: With his heart racing, he decided to open up.Ca: "Clara, hi ha una cosa que fa temps que et vull dir..."

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Tea, Trust, and Triumph: A Springtime Story in Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-05-20-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi Budapest közepén, egy csendes és barátságos teázóban, Zoltán és Kata egy fontos feladatra készültek.En: In the middle of springtime Budapest, in a quiet and friendly tea house, Zoltán and Kata were preparing for an important task.Hu: A teakbárban finom illatok szálltak, és halk beszélgetések zaja töltötte meg a levegőt.En: The tea bar was filled with fine aromas, and the sound of hushed conversations filled the air.Hu: Zoltán aggodalmasan meredt a jegyzeteire, miközben Kata mellett ült, ihletett és magabiztos kifejezéssel az arcán.En: Zoltán stared anxiously at his notes, while seated next to him, Kata wore an inspired and confident expression.Hu: Mindketten egy prezentációt készítettek elő a főnökük számára.En: Both were preparing a presentation for their boss.Hu: Zoltán mindig is precíz ember volt.En: Zoltán had always been a precise person.Hu: Mindig tökéletességre törekedett.En: He always strove for perfection.Hu: Most is, az aggodalom az arcán tükröződött.En: Even now, worry was reflected on his face.Hu: Attól félt, hogy nem tud majd elég jól szerepelni.En: He feared that he wouldn't perform well enough.Hu: Kata viszont tele volt ötletekkel és bátran bízott a kreativitásában.En: Kata, on the other hand, was full of ideas and confidently trusted in her creativity.Hu: Mégis, valahol mélyen kételkedett, hogy a tartalmuk megfelel-e a követelményeknek.En: Yet, deep down, she doubted whether their content met the requirements.Hu: Zoltán, kezében egy notesz, összeráncolt homlokkal mondta: „Kata, biztos, hogy ez így jól lesz?En: Zoltán, with a notebook in hand, furrowed his brow and said, "Kata, are you sure this will be okay?Hu: Nem lehet, hogy jobban kellene részleteznünk?En: Shouldn't we detail it more?"Hu: ”Kata mosolyogva válaszolt: „Zoltán, bízz bennem!En: Kata replied with a smile, "Zoltán, trust me!Hu: Ez csak a bemutató vázlata.En: This is only the outline of the presentation.Hu: A részletekre később ráérünk!En: We'll have time for the details later!Hu: De mi lenne, ha te is kicsit lazítanál?En: But how about you relax a little?"Hu: ”Ahogy a nap lassan lenyugodott, a teázó világosabbá vált a gyertyák fényétől.En: As the sun slowly set, the tea house became brighter with the light of the candles.Hu: Zoltán belátta, hogy túl sokat aggodalmaskodik.En: Zoltán realized he was worrying too much.Hu: Döntött, hogy engedi Katát szabadon szárnyalni az ötleteivel, és megbízik benne.En: He decided to allow Kata to freely soar with her ideas and trust her.Hu: Kata közben úgy döntött, hogy a prezentáció tartalmát még egyszer átnézi Zoltán segítségével, hogy biztos legyen abban, minden pontos.En: Meanwhile, Kata decided to go over the presentation content one more time with Zoltán's help to ensure everything was accurate.Hu: Ahogy dolgoztak, együtt nevettek és finomították a bemutatót.En: As they worked, they laughed together and refined the presentation.Hu: Zoltán megszokta Kata kreativitását, és Kata élvezte, hogy Zoltán precizitása segít rendet tenni a gondolataiban.En: Zoltán got used to Kata's creativity, and Kata enjoyed that Zoltán's precision helped organize her thoughts.Hu: A gyakorlás alatt egyre inkább egymásra hangolódtak.En: During practice, they increasingly synchronized with each other.Hu: Végül elérkezett a nagy nap.En: Finally, the big day arrived.Hu: Zoltán és Kata beléptek az irodába, a főnökük már várta őket.En: Zoltán and Kata entered the office, where their boss was already waiting for them.Hu: A bemutató gördülékenyen zajlott.En: The presentation went smoothly.Hu: Kata elkápráztatta az ügyfeleket friss megközelítéseivel, míg Zoltán pontos, részletes információkkal biztosította a sikeres előadást.En: Kata dazzled the clients with her fresh approaches, while Zoltán ensured the successful presentation with precise, detailed information.Hu: A prezentáció végén a főnökük elégedetten bólintott.En: At the end of the presentation, their boss nodded in satisfaction.Hu: „Kiváló munka!En: "Excellent work!"Hu: ” mondta.En: he said.Hu: A szavaira mindketten felsóhajtottak a megkönnyebbüléstől.En: At his words, both of them sighed with relief.Hu: Zoltán mosolyogva fordult Katához.En: Zoltán turned to Kata with a smile.Hu: „Köszönöm, hogy hittél bennem.En: "Thank you for believing in me."Hu: ”Kata ragyogott az örömtől.En: Kata beamed with joy.Hu: „És én köszönöm, hogy segítettél az ötleteimet valóra váltani.En: "And thank you for helping bring my ideas to life."Hu: ”Most már mindketten tudták, hogy együtt sokkal erősebbek.En: Now they both knew that together they were much stronger.Hu: Zoltán megtanulta, hogy a csapatmunka és a bizalom vezet el a legjobb eredményekhez, míg Kata megerősödött a saját képességeiben és a közös munka erejében.En: Zoltán learned that teamwork and trust lead to the best results, while Kata gained confidence in her own abilities and the power of working together.Hu: A tea illata még ott lebegett az orruk előtt, ahogy kiléptek a teakbárból a tavaszi város lüktető forgatagába, magabiztosan nézve a jövő felé.En: The smell of tea still lingered at the tips of their noses as they stepped out of the tea bar into the bustling energy of the spring city, confidently looking towards the future.

Wake up, it's a beautiful morning!It's the spring of 1995. That most eclectic of decades, the nineties if you will, was no longer the new kid on the millennial block. Pop culture has boxed up the eighties for another day, had shaken off baggy, was in the process of returning grunge back to the US and was now striding confidently onwards with a swagger all of its own. The country was beginning to look and sound different. The political landscape was shifting towards something ‘new' and felt more relatable, and pop shared this sense of renewed optimism that, actually, anything was possible. Which, of course (you know the script by now) was perfectly represented in the eclectic tracklist of the latest, legendary compilation NOW, That's What I call Music as it reached yet another milestone with volume 30. The cover was new, the graphics were new, and the variously compiled selections represented what the nation was tuning into across TV (possibly with Chris Evans), radio (possibly with Chris Evans) or carrying home from the local music shop (possibly with, eh, no, actually).Springtime was giving us blooming boybands, blossoming Britpop, some classic returning popstars, and a VERY large slice of dancefloor tuneage. In fact, a WHOLE CD of it! Blimey, we were all mad for it, indeed!And, joining me for this poptastic 1995 episode is radio presenter, actor and massive pop tart (his words) Grant Stott.Discover how Grant, alongside Zoe Ball, really did make a big splash in 1995, hosting the BBC network Saturday morning show Fully Booked, alongside plenty of the artists on NOW30 - yes, even Jimmy Nail!Along the way, also discover which pre-NOW compilations inspired Grant's listening (there are some crackers!), how he ended up drunk with the Spice Girls (and the Krankies, but not at the same time, sadly) and laugh as two middle-aged men try and remember Eurovision facts and generally recollect a rather hazy year indeed!Expect starring roles from (amongst others) Janet Jackson, Massive Attack, Pato Banton (on several occasions) Cannon and Ball (!) and a plethora of NOW1 throwback stars.And find out which tracks on NOW30 would make it on to (shameless plug!) Grant's Vinyl Collective show every Friday at 6pm on BBC Radio Scotland. (You're welcome!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode we address, in real time, the unfolding calamity that Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) has unleashed upon the world with his new controversial single “He*l H*tler” from his upcoming album “Cuck.” As of recording this episode it has been banned on nearly every platform on the internet but has gone viral anyway and has evolved into a cultural phenomena that has left the majority of us confused, offended and, if we're honest, uncomfortably amused. While burying our heads in the sand is a good enough solution for some, we hope to apply our god given gifts of discernment to meet this cultural phenomena head on,  dissect exactly how fascist movements form and how art is used to either fuel or foil it. We discuss not just the historical context of Ye's new single but unpack some of the esoteric symbolism therein to help us weigh out not just its hidden messages how much of this stunt is satire and how much is serious. What we discover is deep, dark and full of enough nuance to promise that anyone daring enough to take a glimpse will have plenty to consider when making up their own damn minds. It's ok to let people do that sometimes, you know… Thank you and enjoy the show! On this week's episode we discuss:The Fall of Kanye West“White Lives Matter”Nice Try DiddyDrink Champs and the Harley Pasternak Text Ye Embraces NaziismThe “Heil Hitler” SingleThe Banned Lyrics14/88 Dog WhisleThe Hitler QuoteBombing Pearl HarborIn the second half of this episode available for free at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole to discuss: Animal Symbolism and Roman VelitesBlack Volkish Movement?The Koryos and the Mannerbund The HooligansGematria of 35The Temple of Set & The Order of the TrapezoidIs Ye Just The King of Trolls?Slavjo Zizek Explains LaibachThe Kabbalah of the UltrasPointy Hants & PornographyEach host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitSources: Gematria 35https://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu35.phpADL 14/88https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488Slavoj Zizeck on Laibach:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRvT3_8VctISupport the show

Life's path will be wider because of it."Zh: 春风徐来，江面上一片温馨。En: A gentle spring breeze blew by, and the river was filled with warmth.Zh: 嘉豪在那一刻意识到，自己的选择或许没有即时的回报，但心灵的富足远非物质能替代。En: At that moment, Jiahao realized that his choice might not bring immediate rewards, but the richness of the soul is far beyond what material things can replace.Zh: 这趟外滩之行，让他领悟了诚实的真正价值。En: This trip to the Bund taught him the true value of honesty.

Miyuki suggested.Ja: ユウトは笑顔で頷いた。En: Yuto nodded with a smile.Ja: そして彼はカメラを構え、ミユキとともに桜の下でシャッターを切った。En: Then he set up his camera, and together with Miyuki, he pressed the shutter under the sakura.Ja: 写真には、風に舞う花びらと共に、二人の楽しげな姿と純粋な気持ちが写っていた。En: The photo captured their joyful presence and pure feelings along with petals dancing in the wind.Ja: その瞬間、ユウトは決心した。En: At that moment, Yuto made up his mind.Ja: 彼はミユキに連絡先を交換しようと勇気を出した。En: He mustered up the courage to exchange contact information with Miyuki.Ja: 「もしよければ、また一緒に桜を見に来ませんか？」ユウトが尋ねた。En: "If you don't mind, would you like to come see the sakura together again?"

I took a road trip to North Dakota with the dogs to see some friends and work the dogs. Then I dropped to South Dakota to lock up my plans for the fall. For the first time I feel like I am packed and ready to go, even though its 5 plus months away. This season will be another bumper year.

But, if you're like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues. That's why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery. So, what makes Nandaka different? Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don't actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance  Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts.  Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts.  It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance  Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee.  If you're tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it's time to make the switch.  Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase.  Go to Piquelife.com/run and start running on real energy today.  Your legs, your lungs, and your PRs will thank you

Throughout the summer, fall and winter, we go through experiences that are emotionally charged, mentally charged and spiritually challenging. Some of the more toxic encounters and situations we have gone through tend to embed themselves into our mind, subconsciousness and consciousness. As the winter progresses, those things stay rooted and cemented in our spiritual beings and add to the OCD and PTSD many are struggling with. Spring is not only a healing igniter, but also an emotional healer. Using the Spring Tools in this episode can help loosen old, toxic wounds and create new, powerful, healing references that can rewire and alter your mental and emotional state. In this episode… Learn about winter PTSD and how our struggles or hardships from summer, fall or winter can get stored up inside of us. Discover different methods of monitoring the grass and how nothing rewires the brain like nature does. Uncover how old, emotional experiences can harden up in the tissues of your body. Learn how to soften and loosen experiences that you don't want to reference all the time. Discover how the snapping of a twig can rewire the brain. Uncover the powers behind selective bird listening and how those imprints can make a huge impact. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com
