This month's podcast could be re-titled 'How to Disagree Nicely.  Welcome to Episode 58 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'.  We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?In Part 1, Guy is in the seat. He brings Lucy Dacus' new album, Forever is a Feeling for us to consider and discuss.In Part 2, we celebrate the summer, it was hear, it has already gone. Nolan's specialist subject, the Summer Night track is our theme for Spin It or Bin It.                            ----- Part 1 | Lucy Dacus | 'Forever is a Feeling' -----We have varying levels of experience and history with Lucy Dacus but Guy has fallen for this album in a big way. It's Lucy's 4th solo album and sits alongside her work as part of Boygenius. The album is a really easy listen, it can sit with you on repeat for a significant chunk of time. The question that we explore is, can penetrate beyond a nice listen ... opinions vary but at least one of us has this in their album of the year list at this point in the year.Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think. Here are some links that we mention on the pod or think could be useful to explore;Listen to the album ... HERE.Listen to the the 'A Deeper Listen interview / podcast ... HERE.Watch some videos (particularly the live performances) ... HERE.Buy some stuff ... HERE.                                 ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Summer Nights' -----The theme this month is 'Summer Nights'. Which tracks give us big summer night vibes. Ever since I've known Nolan he has always immediately given songs a season, I've never known anyone think as 'seasonally' about music. So no pressure but we play Spin It or Bin it with his specialist subject!David chose 'Tropical Gangsters' by Kid Creole & the Coconuts.Nolan chose 'Thinking About You' by Saraga.Joey chose 'Tomas'   by Girl Ultra, Empress Of and  Chromeo.Guy chose 'Fly Life Xtra' by Basement Jaxx.Here is a link to our 16 track playlist of religion-inspired tracks - with the first 4 tracks being our picks for this month. (and just for a laugh, here's the video of DC10 we talked aboutWe've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

Have you ever wondered what it's like to hear Julie struggle to say the same thing over and over again? Or what Brat Summer of 1992 sounded like? OR what Julie and Lauren's new favorite podcast is? (hint: it's not this one) - Tune in this week for the answers to these and many other questions that no one has ever asked!!Oh yeah and there's some discussion of Summer Night City in there too! 

I was brought up by Midwestern stoics who drummed the lesson into us: Don't think you're somebody because you're not. You're not so smart as you think. You're the same as everybody else. So buckle down and get your work done and don't fall behind. So I turned into a hard worker. But sitting on this terrace at night with my daughter, and then my wife comes out with her glass of wine, this sandwich putting my friends within easy reach, it is clear to this old Episcopalian, God's great generosity, how much He loves us, to give us this summer night. In this ugly election year, let us be good for each other. This is a public episode.

A telefonommal készíthetnél fotót.”En: He approached her and kindly asked, "Can I help with anything? You could take a photo with my phone."Hu: Enikő hálásan elfogadta az ajánlatot.En: Enikő gratefully accepted the offer.Hu: „Ha mesélnél nekem érdekes történeteket, fényképeznék is” – mondta mosolyogva.En: "If you'd tell me interesting stories, I would also take pictures," she said with a smile.Hu: Az éjszaka beköszöntött.En: Night fell.Hu: Az égboltot tűzijáték világította meg.En: Fireworks lit up the sky.Hu: István mesélt a múlt eseményeiről, Buda rejtélyes krónikáiról.En: István spoke of past events, the mysterious chronicles of Buda.Hu: Enikő művészi szemmel fotózta a pillanatokat.En: Enikő captured the moments with an artistic eye.Hu: A tűzijáték színei és a történetek varázsa együtt varázslatos hangulatot teremtettek.En: The colors of the fireworks and the magic of the stories together created an enchanting atmosphere.Hu: A fesztivál véget ért, de István és Enikő számára új kezdet volt.En: The festival ended, but for István and Enikő, it was a new beginning.Hu: Enikő elnyerte az iskolai felvételét.En: Enikő was accepted into the school.Hu: István új szemszögből közelítette meg könyvét.En: István approached his book from a new perspective.Hu: Képeivel a könyv érdekessé vált.En: With her photos, the book became intriguing.Hu: Ők ketten észrevették, hogy mennyire jól kiegészítik egymást.En: The two of them realized how well they complemented each other.Hu: Enikő más szemmel látott dolgokat, ami frissességet hozott István munkájába.En: Enikő saw things with a fresh perspective, which brought newness to István's work.Hu: István pedig új történetekkel inspirálta Enikőt.En: István, in turn, inspired Enikő with new stories.Hu: Így kezdődött a kapcsolatuk.En: This is how their relationship began.Hu: A közös munka során különleges összhangot találtak.En: Through their joint work, they found a special harmony.Hu: István megtanult új perspektívákat látni, Enikő pedig nagyszerű alkotóvá vált.En: István learned to see new perspectives, and Enikő became a great creator.Hu: A nyári este emléke mindig velük maradt.En: The memory of that summer evening always stayed with them.Hu: Együtt új színteret hoztak létre: a múltat és a jelent összekapcsolták, az egyedi történeteket megosztották a világgal.En: Together, they created a new scene: they connected the past and the present, sharing unique stories with the world.

Resorting to scripts and working notebooks, and especially to memory, he comments brilliantly and always cogently on his failures as well as his successes; on the themes that bind his work together; on his concerns, anxieties, and moments of happiness; on the relationship between his life and art.Available here OWC Atlas Ultra CFexpress Cards:Experience the unparalleled performance and reliability of Atlas Ultra CFexpress Type B 4.0 cards purpose-built for professional filmmakers and photographers to capture flawlessly, and offload files quickly in the most demanding scenarios.Learn more herePodcast Rewind:August 2024 - Ep. 42…The Making Of is published by Michael Valinsky.To promote your products to 70,000 filmmakers and industry pros reading this newsletter, please email us at mvalinsky@me.com Get full access to The Making Of at themakingof.substack.com/subscribe

Hana asked skeptically.Ja: しかし、その時、不思議な音が聞こえてきた。En: At that moment, they heard a strange sound.Ja: 誰かがカラオケマイクで歌っていた。しかし、その声はひどく音をはずしていた。En: Someone was singing into a karaoke microphone, but the voice was badly off-key.Ja: 「うわっ、これ何の音？」健太はびくっとした。彼の顔は青ざめていた。En: "W-w-what's that noise?" Kenta jumped, his face pale.Ja: 聡はにやりと笑った。En: Satoshi grinned.Ja: 「これは幽霊の歌声だ！」と興奮気味に言った。En: "That's the voice of a ghost!" he said excitedly.Ja: 「そうは思えないわ。多分スピーカーが壊れてるだけでしょ。」華は冷静に言った。En: "I don't think so. It's probably just a broken speaker," Hana said calmly.Ja: 三人は音のする方向に進んだ。En: The three of them moved toward the sound.Ja: そこにはかすかに見える白い影があった。En: There, they saw a faint white shadow.Ja: 影の正体は、悲しげな顔をした幽霊だった。この幽霊は、音を外しまくって歌っていた。En: The shadow turned out to be a ghost with a sorrowful expression, singing terribly off-key.Ja: 「こんにんちは、幽霊さん。」聡が勇気を出して話しかけた。En: "Hello, Mr. Ghost," Satoshi gathered his courage and spoke.Ja: 幽霊は驚いたが、優しく微笑んだ。En: The ghost was surprised but smiled gently.Ja: 「ごめんなさい。歌が下手で。」幽霊は落ち込んだ声で答えた。En: "Sorry for my poor singing," the ghost replied in a dejected voice.Ja: 「昔は上手に歌えたのに、今はもう音がとれないの。」En: "I used to sing well, but now I can't hit the right notes."Ja: 華はその言葉に少し心を動かされた。En: Hana was somewhat moved by those words.Ja: 「私、音楽の知識があるわ。お手伝いできるかも。」En: "I have some knowledge of music. Maybe I can help."Ja: 「そんな幽霊なんて、いるわけない！」健太はまだ恐怖心が収まらないようだったが、華と聡の信じる姿に少し安心したようで、一歩引きずりながらついて行った。En: "There's no way ghosts actually exist!" Kenta was still terrified, but seeing Hana and Satoshi's determined expressions gave him a bit of reassurance, so he followed them, albeit reluctantly.Ja: 聡は幽霊の言葉を華に伝え、華は音程を教え始めた。En: Satoshi translated the ghost's words to Hana, who began to teach it about pitch.Ja: 幽霊は一生懸命にリズムを合わせ、音を取ろうとした。En: The ghost tried hard to match the rhythm and hit the right notes.Ja: 何度も失敗したが、少しずつ上手になっていった。En: It failed multiple times but gradually got better.Ja: やがて、幽霊は一瞬だけではあるが、美しい声で歌うことができた。En: Eventually, the ghost was able to sing beautifully, if only for a moment.Ja: その歌声は、廃れたカラオケバーに響き、誰もがその美しさに感動した。En: Its voice echoed through the dilapidated karaoke bar, and everyone was moved by its beauty.Ja: 「ありがとう。もう思い残すことはないわ。」幽霊は微笑みながら、ゆっくりと消えていった。En: "Thank you. I have no more regrets now," the ghost said with a smile, slowly fading away.Ja: 華はその瞬間を目撃し、信じられない思いだった。En: Witnessing that moment, Hana was filled with disbelief.Ja: 「本当に幽霊がいたんだ。」En: "There really was a ghost."Ja: 健太も、少しずつ恐怖心を克服し、安心した表情になった。En: Kenta, too, slowly overcame his fear and looked relieved.Ja: 聡は満足げにうなずいた。En: Satoshi nodded with satisfaction.Ja: 「これで、僕の話は本当だと証明されたね。」En: "This proves my stories were true."Ja: その夜、三人はカラオケバーを出る時、以前とは異なった感情を抱えていた。En: As the three of them left the karaoke bar that night, they carried different emotions than before.Ja: 華は心を開き、健太は少し勇敢になり、聡は自信を深めた。En: Hana had opened her heart, Kenta had become a bit braver, and Satoshi had gained confidence.Ja: 彼らの夏の冒険は、いつまでも忘れられないものとなった。En: Their summer adventure became an unforgettable memory.

There's been no word from her. She contacts me daily, but this time, no call,” Jian's voice betrayed his unease.Zh: 他知道，必须让莉莉相信梅真的有危险。En: He knew he had to convince Lily that Mei was truly in danger.Zh: 虽然警察局事务繁多，压得莉莉喘不过气，但她仔细听着简的每一句话，记下了所有细节。En: Despite the overwhelming tasks pressing down on her, Lily listened carefully to every word Jian said, jotting down all the details.Zh: 然而，她仍然有些怀疑。En: Still, she had some doubts.Zh: “她是否可能只是去了朋友家？女性朋友多吗？”En: “Could she have just gone to a friend's place?

nagy üvegablakain.En: Sunlight streamed through the large glass windows of the Innovation Center.Hu: A levegőt a munka izgalma töltötte meg.En: The air was filled with the excitement of work.Hu: Színes post-it cetlik díszítették a falakat.En: Colorful post-it notes adorned the walls.Hu: Tech kütyük és közösségi munkaterületek mindenhol körülöttük.En: Tech gadgets and coworking spaces surrounded them everywhere.Hu: Gergely, a fiatal vállalkozó, az asztalánál ült.En: Gergely, the young entrepreneur, sat at his desk.Hu: Nyugodt arcát aggodalom futotta át.En: A look of concern crossed his calm face.Hu: Alacsony vérnyomása miatt szédült volt és könnyűnek érezte magát.En: He felt dizzy and lightheaded due to his low blood pressure.Hu: Gergely egész héten keményen dolgozott a bemutatóján.En: Gergely had been working hard on his presentation all week.Hu: Egy hete sem aludt jól.En: He hadn't slept well for a week.Hu: Tudta, hogy ma este János-nap lesz, és az udvaron már készítették a tábortüzet.En: He knew that tonight would be Saint John's Eve, and they were already preparing the bonfire in the yard.Hu: Mégis, a munka most fontosabb volt.En: Yet, work was more important now.Hu: Egy nagy befektető épp a városban volt, és Gergely mindenképpen meg akarta szerezni a támogatását mielőtt távozna.En: A major investor was in town, and Gergely was determined to secure his support before he left.Hu: Ott volt még egy másik dolog: Mariann.En: There was another thing: Mariann.Hu: Mariann volt az egyik kollégája, és Gergely titokban csodálta őt.En: Mariann was one of his colleagues, and Gergely secretly admired her.Hu: Mindig segítőkész és kedves volt vele.En: She was always helpful and kind to him.Hu: Gergely szerette volna megmutatni neki, hogy milyen keményen dolgozik, és talán... talán egyszer elmondhatná neki, mit érez.En: Gergely wanted to show her how hard he was working, and maybe... maybe one day he could tell her how he felt.Hu: Az idő közeledett.En: The time was approaching.Hu: Gergely készült az esti bemutatóra.En: Gergely was preparing for the evening presentation.Hu: De egyre inkább szédült.En: But he felt increasingly dizzy.Hu: Labilis lett volna, hogy pihenjen, de nem akarta elvesztegetni a lehetőséget.En: It would have been sensible to rest, but he didn't want to waste the opportunity.Hu: Gyorsan ivott egy kis vizet, és tovább dolgozott.En: He quickly drank some water and continued working.Hu: Este lett.En: Evening came.Hu: A tábortűz megvilágította az udvart, és az emberek összegyűltek.En: The bonfire lit up the yard, and people gathered around.Hu: Gergely elkezdte a prezentációját.En: Gergely started his presentation.Hu: Próbált nyugodtnak és összeszedettnek tűnni, de belül remegett.En: He tried to appear calm and collected, but inside he was trembling.Hu: Remegett a fáradságtól és az izgalomtól.En: Trembling from fatigue and excitement.Hu: Ahogy egyre jobban elveszett a szövegében, egy pillanatra hatalmas szédülés fogta el.En: As he increasingly lost himself in the text, a moment of intense dizziness overcame him.Hu: Minden elsötétült előtte, majd összeesett.En: Everything went dark before him, and he collapsed.Hu: A következő dolog, amire emlékezett, egy klinika fehér szobája volt.En: The next thing he remembered was a white room in a clinic.Hu: Az orvos fölé hajolt, és azonnal rászólt, hogy pihennie kell és figyelnie az egészségére.En: The doctor leaned over him and immediately told him that he needed to rest and pay attention to his health.Hu: Mariann ott állt az ágya mellett.En: Mariann was standing by his bed.Hu: Arcán aggodalom tükröződött.En: Concern reflected on her face.Hu: Érdeklődött iránta, és azt ajánlotta, hogy amikor majd jobban lesz, dolgozhatnának együtt szorosabban.En: She showed interest in him and suggested that once he felt better, they could work more closely together.Hu: Gergely mély levegőt vett.En: Gergely took a deep breath.Hu: Rádöbbent, hogy túlzottan hajtotta magát.En: He realized he had been driving himself too hard.Hu: Szüksége volt arra, hogy egyensúlyt találjon a munka és az élet között.En: He needed to find a balance between work and life.Hu: Azonban nem volt minden elveszve.En: However, not everything was lost.Hu: Lehetősége volt újrakezdeni.En: He had the opportunity to start anew.Hu: És most tudta, hogy van egy támogatói közössége is, akik segítenek neki, hogy elérje céljait.En: And now he knew he had a supportive community to help him achieve his goals.Hu: A következő napokban Gergely pihent, amennyit csak tudott.En: In the following days, Gergely rested as much as he could.Hu: Mariann gyakran meglátogatta, és közösen tervezgették a jövőt.En: Mariann often visited him, and they planned their future together.Hu: Most már világos volt számára, hogy nem csak az eredmény számít, hanem az út is, amit végigjár. És hogy az egészsége és a szerettei támogatása nélkül nem tudna sikeres lenni.En: It became clear to him that it wasn't just the result that mattered, but also the journey he took, and that without his health and the support of his loved ones, he couldn't be successful.Hu: Egy hét múlva, amikor visszatért az Innovatív Központba, új energiával és elhatározással dolgozott tovább.En: A week later, when he returned to the Innovation Center, he worked on with renewed energy and determination.Hu: Mariann oldalán biztos volt abban, hogy minden nehézséget legyőznek együtt.En: With Mariann by his side, he was certain they would overcome any difficulty together.Hu: Gergely megértette, hogy az igazi siker nem csak a célban rejlik, hanem abban is, hogy hogyan éri el azt, és milyen kapcsolatok épülnek közben.En: Gergely understood that true success wasn't just about the destination but also how he reached it and the relationships that were built along the way.Hu: Azon a nyáron, az Innovatív Központban, Gergely nem csak a startupját indította el sikeresen, hanem megtalálta az egyensúlyt az életében és a szerelemben is.En: That summer, at the Innovation Center, Gergely not only successfully launched his startup but also found balance in his life and love.Hu: A tábortűz emléke pedig örökre megmaradt benne.En: The memory of the bonfire would remain with him forever.

Last year, the American Library Association reported a 20% increase from the previous year in efforts to ban books in the US in both school and public libraries. As WYPR education reporter Bri Hatch reported, 148 titles were challenged in Maryland last year, which made our state one of more than a dozen states to exceed one hundred banned books. Maryland is one of the states with laws that require specific criteria for removing books from libraries, and which protect library personnel who act within that criteria. Dr. Sonia Alcántara-Antoine, the CEO of the Baltimore County Public Library and the President of the board of the Public Library Association, joins Midday to discuss censorship, the future of the county's public library system and her summer reading list for young and old. Picture books and children's fiction: On a Summer Night by Deborah Hopkinson • A beautifully illustrated soothing bedtime story set on a quiet summer night where various creatures awaken one by one.

Beginning in 10,000 BCE, this title explores the Indigenous foods of the Americas and continues through colonial times, European immigration, civil rights, and today. Teen fiction: Even if it Breaks Your Heart by Erin Hahn • A swooning enemies-to-dating romance with the two protagonists as alternating narrators. Well-written novel includes a deep look at class differences and how teens deal with grief.

NONFICTION The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan • Exceptional writing captures the joy of the natural world, and includes her own lovely drawings of birds. Her tips include providing a lot of fresh water sources to attract a wide variety of birds The Race to the Future: 8,000 Miles to Paris by Kassia St Clair • Five teams attempted to drive across Asia and Europe in 1907, in early cars on mostly unpaved roads. This was a journalistic sensation of the era, with newspapers worldwide following their progress. St. Clair places the race in the context of the advent of the modern era, and how this event helped accelerate the shrinking of the world. (Photo by Carol M. Highsmith, Library Of Congress.
