Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Carpenter's Choice: Sparking Change in a Sunlit Village Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-05-31-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi napsugarak aranyosan világították be a falu kis szavazóhelyiségét.En: The spring sunbeams cast a golden light over the village's small voting room.Hu: A fa gerendák és a kisméretű ablakok melegséget sugároztak, míg a magas mennyezet alatt az emberek izgatottan beszélgettek.En: The wooden beams and the small windows radiated warmth, while under the high ceiling, people chatted excitedly.Hu: Mindenki tudta, mennyire fontosak a mai önkormányzati választások.En: Everyone knew how important today's local elections were.Hu: Zoltán, a közösség elismert asztalosa, lassan haladt előre a sorban.En: Zoltán, the community's esteemed carpenter, slowly moved forward in the line.Hu: Az asztalosmesterségben szerzett hírneve miatt sokan tisztelték őt, de Zoltán szíve mélyén bosszúságot érzett a falu régimódi szabályai miatt.En: Due to his reputation in carpentry, many respected him, but deep down, Zoltán felt frustration over the village's old-fashioned rules.Hu: Tudta, hogy a döntése ma számítani fog, és ez nyomasztotta őt.En: He knew that his decision today would matter, and this weighed on him.Hu: Katalin, a fiatal tanárnő, lendületesen magyarázott a mellette állóknak valami új jelöltről.En: Katalin, the young teacher, was energetically explaining something about a new candidate to those standing beside her.Hu: Tüzes lelkesedéssel próbálta meggyőzni őket, hogy a közösség fejlődése érdekében változásra van szükség.En: With fiery enthusiasm, she tried to convince them that for the sake of community development, change was necessary.Hu: Katalin úgy érezte, hogy az emberek elszántsága elapadhat, ha nem támogatják az új irányt.En: Katalin felt that people's determination might fade if they did not support the new direction.Hu: A jelenlegi polgármester, Árpád, akinek jövője is most múlik a választásokon, szintén ott volt.En: The current mayor, Árpád, whose future was also at stake in the elections, was there as well.Hu: Barátságosan kezet rázott mindenkivel, miközben belül aggódott a pozíciója megtartása miatt.En: He shook hands with everyone in a friendly manner, while internally worrying about retaining his position.Hu: Bár sokan kedvelték őt, ismert volt arról, hogy ellenáll a hirtelen változásoknak.En: Although many liked him, he was known for resisting sudden changes.Hu: Zoltán súlya alatt roskadozott a döntés terhe.En: Zoltán was weighed down by the burden of the decision.Hu: Bár Árpád stabilitást és biztonságot ígért, Zoltán tudta, hogy a falu az ő vezetése alatt megállt a fejlődésben.En: Although Árpád promised stability and security, Zoltán knew that under his leadership, the village had stagnated.Hu: Ezzel szemben a változás lehetősége, amit Katalin képviselt, izgalmasnak tűnt, de egyúttal ijesztő is.En: In contrast, the possibility of change represented by Katalin seemed exciting yet daunting.Hu: Amikor Zoltán végre a szavazóurnához ért, a kezében tartott papírlap galacsinokká gyűrödött az izgalomtól.En: When Zoltán finally reached the ballot box, the paper in his hand crumpled into wads from the excitement.Hu: Mélyet lélegzett, és körülnézett.En: He took a deep breath and looked around.Hu: A falubeliek, a barátok, a család – mind itt voltak.En: The villagers, friends, family—everyone was there.Hu: Az ő jövőjükért szavazott most.En: He was voting for their future now.Hu: Még egyszer végiggondolta, amit eddig hallott.En: Once more, he thought through everything he had heard so far.Hu: Az ismerős kényelme vagy az ismeretlen lehetősége?En: The comfort of the familiar or the possibilities of the unknown?Hu: És akkor, hirtelen elhatározásra jutott.En: And then, he suddenly made a decision.Hu: Kezében megsimította a lapot, majd határozottan bekarikázott egy nevet.En: He smoothed the paper in his hand and then decisively circled a name.Hu: A választása a változás mellett szólt.En: His choice spoke for change.Hu: Ahogy a szavazólapot az urnába ejtette, megkönnyebbültnek érezte magát.En: As he dropped the ballot into the box, he felt relieved.Hu: Megdöbbenve tapasztalta, hogy bár kockázatos döntést hozott, mégis bátran vállalta felelősséget.En: He was astonished to find that, even though he had made a risky decision, he had bravely accepted responsibility.Hu: Most már hitt abban, hogy egyetlen ember cselekvése is változást hozhat a közösség életében.En: He now believed that the actions of a single person could bring about change in the community's life.Hu: Miközben kilépett a szavazóhelyiségből a napsütéses tavaszi utcára, Zoltán újfajta reménnyel tekintett a jövő felé.En: As he stepped out of the polling station into the sunlit spring street, Zoltán looked to the future with a new kind of hope.Hu: Tudta, hogy bármi is történjék majd, a döntése hatással lesz, és egy darabig az ő hangja is a közösségéhez tartozik.En: He knew that whatever happens, his decision would have an impact, and for a while, his voice would belong to the community.

Today - SunLit editor Kevin Simpson talks with the author of a mystery trilogy whose first book revolves around illegal adoption and human trafficking. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message Pastor Fran talks about how society so often moves on an honor/shame mentality related to various kinds of status, and how far too often Christianity just becomes an extension of this worldly honor/shame game. Jesus, in his teaching and at the Cross, exposes the falsity of this arrangement and invites us into the freedom of love and of seeing with his eyes.

National College of Ireland's campus has been buzzing with excitement over the amazing ideas that were put forward during the NASA Space Apps Challenge that the College hosted for the second time, acting as Dublin Mission Control. Runtime Terror has just been announced as this year's Dublin Mission Control NASA Space Apps Challenge Global Nominee. Already recognised by their peers with the Community Choice Award, this talented team created a visually appealing and accurately informative digital orrery to display near-Earth objects. You Can View the Digital Orrery here. This project was described by judges as a creative and inspiring submission that will spark curiosity in space exploration. On Monday, November 4th, 2024, NCI welcomed the members of team Runtime Terror back to Mayor Square to present them with their award plaques and wish them well as the team moves forward to take part in the global phase of this cosmic hackathon. "We are delighted to support NASA International Space Apps Challenge here at National College of Ireland, as their mission inspires collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, which reflects our ethos. It always amazes us to see the participants' enthusiasm and excitement that is part of this positive application of learning," said Professor Paul Stynes, Dean of NCI's School of Computing. This year's global theme, "The Sun Touches Everything," invited participants to tackle one of 21 Challenges using space data and information. These challenges covered a wide range of topics, from astrobiology to space music, and the design of games for astronauts. "It was a brilliant two days. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and it was inspiring to see the creative energy fill the campus as everyone worked together to create and present their ideas," said Dr Athanasios Staikopoulos, who acted as academic advisor to the event from NCI's School of Computing. Dublin Mission Control at NCI was host to many potential participants, with 9 teams completing projects to submission level, including les intouchables, Starchasers, Sunlit, the Celtic Community Cartographers, Cache Me If You Can, Data Wizz, and Unclebaofans. You can find more about all this year's teams around the world, as well as those participating from Dublin Mission Control on the NASA Space Apps Challenge website. The ingeniousness and quality level of the solutions proposed as well as the creativity and the broad range of media used made it very difficult for the Judging Panel to choose the Global Nominee that will progress to the final stages of the hackathon. This year's Global Nominee runner-up, Alpha Centauri is a multi-disciplinary team from Trinity College Dublin, who worked on a programme to analyse and clean real data from the Apollo missions and the Mars InSIght Lander to identify seismic quakes within the noise. Team members were Ruby Ge, Thomas Creagh, Sean Dignam, Ash Keena, and Angelos Eleftheriou! Dublin's NASA Space Apps Challenge Global Nominee, was team Runtime Terror. This team is made up of six talented members, Firose Shafin, Andrei-Alexandru Tabarna, Aditya Bhargav Akella, Pablo Periañez Cabrero, Maximilian Schöll, and Nithyakamal Ilamurugu. These innovative individuals came together as a team and created something that not only met the hackathon requirements but has the potential to expand. Team Runtime Terror should be immensely proud of their work. Speaking on behalf of the group, Max Schöll said, "We met when we started at UCD together this September, but a two-day intensive hackathon really forms strong friendships! We had a moment where we thought we wouldn't be able to complete the project, and then suddenly everything clicked - if nothing else, we have learned to keep going, keep trying, and you will get there!" Aditya Bhargav Akella added, "We had so much fun and learned so much - the mentors who worked with us through the two days were incredible. The talks were inspiring, and it was really great to be able to chat dire...

Zellion, & The Maelstrom of Fire

When in a pinch, ask your dead ancestor to make you a rocket

In this sermon, Pastor Fran talks about receiving the Bible as it is, seeing it not just as ink on a page to be obeyed, but rather pointing us to Christ who reveals the good and beautiful God who wants to write upon our hearts and make a new story out of us so that we might be whole and free and reconciled to one another.

Canticle and it's Mechanics -- FN Episode 220

In this sermon Pastor Fran takes a look at the wonder and variety of the Bible as both the revelation of God but also as an ongoing search and conversation of the people of God, and unpacks how Jesus is the glorious climax of the story and the key to our restoration.

Capturing the experience and 'sound-feel' of crashing waves is always a challenge. Strong on-shore breezes and the unbridled energy of thousand ton waves breaking over unyielding rock can simply be too much for sensitive microphones. Yet as we sit on the concrete sea defences, bathed in hot afternoon August sun, waiting for the first tingles of cold sea spray to land on our legs, the experience is as serene as it is thrilling. How can this be? Something huge, heavy and aurally overwhelming is also serenely calming and relaxing? Our ears hear the landscape around us and let us feel its space and physicality. Hearing, in a way, is a kind of touching. Given the power and tumult of these waves as they break over the rocks, it isn't possible to be bodily touching them, but we can touch their weight and mass through our ears. Layers of white noise produced by crashing waves, rising and falling, folding over each other, straddling us with their weight, reveals how mere vibrations in the air that land on our eardrums are instantly sensed and translated into physical responses. Responses that are felt as a result of being heard. This is what we mean by 'sound feel'. We might say the thrill is the head's response, the excitement that comes with loudness and chaos. The serenity is the bodily response. Nerves, bones and muscles, relaxing, as they do when massaged.  So sitting on the sea wall facing crashing waves, hot in the sunshine and still in earshot of the odd cricket hiding in the seagrass, is a bath and a massage. Wild sweet peas dancing in the breeze on an empty path. Buzzards circling overhead. We feel drawn to this ragged edge of land and to capture it as an audio experience that can be re-experienced when we cannot physically be there.  * This piece of time we captured in early August from a nearby location to last week's episode (235) from Folkestone in Kent. This stretch of exposed beach at the foot of The Warren. Two perspectives on the same stretch of coast called the Strait of Dover. Without the sea, The Warren would not exist in the aurally rich way it does. 

Hello, dear heaven and earth explorers. My spirit guides recently gave me a vision and I want to invite you into a captivating journey: becoming multidimensional through the lens of light body integration Imagine stepping out of a long, dark tunnel and into a vibrant, sunlit meadow. This metaphorical shift is the crossroads we are in today, it is the calling to you, and we're here to explore.For eons, humanity has been navigating a dense forest, feeling disconnected from our true selves and each other. This journey has been marked by three core beliefs: feeling forsaken by the divine, lacking trust in ourselves, and doubting the divine's love. But the tide is turning.A new path is being cleared, illuminated by the light of truth and awareness. The internet, our global torchbearer, has exposed long-held secrets, inspiring a new generation born without the energetic shackles that once kept us in the dark. This shift is marked by a loss of faith in old systems and a reawakening to our innate power.Becoming multidimensional is like gaining a new set of eyes, allowing us to see the vibrant tapestry of reality that's always been there, hidden behind the dense foliage of our limited perceptions. It's about unhooking from the old, familiar path and stepping onto a new one, where we embrace our power as creators. Intuition, our inner compass, guides us along this new path.Now, let's talk about light body integration. Imagine our light body as a beautiful, intricate stained-glass window. When it's clear and unobstructed, it allows the divine light to shine through, illuminating our true selves. But over time, this window can become clouded with energetic blocks, limiters, and implants, casting a shadow over our true nature.In holographic healing sessions, your Light body integration occurs through bringing loving awareness of your challenge, what you desire and tapping into your chakras, archetype and your unconscious soul contract that is holding you back and needs to be released. All of these are then brought into alignment to free your nervous system from rigidity, depression and fatigue. Clearing obstructions, one by one. It's like cleaning each pane of glass, which is a prism of internal light held in your heart, and this process is allowing more and more light to shine through. The clouds start to depart as you step out of the forest and into the sunlightRemember, this journey is not about leaving the old path behind, but about bringing the light of awareness to it. Call it in. Engage in your relationship with your spirit guides. It's about embracing our light and dark, which evolves the true selves, in all our multidimensional glory.Keep shining your light, and stay tuned for more insights into our journey towards unity and awakening.I love you.

hade svårt att fokusera på något annat än sina tankar.En: Emil found it hard to focus on anything other than his thoughts.Sv: De oväntade symptomen hade kommit så plötsligt.En: The unexpected symptoms had appeared so suddenly.Sv: "Emil," sade Linnea och bröt tystnaden, "kommer du ihåg när vi brukade cykla ner till sjön varje sommar?"En: "Emil," Linnea said, breaking the silence, "do you remember when we used to bike down to the lake every summer?"Sv: Emil tittade upp, och trots oron kände han ett svagt leende dyka upp.En: Emil looked up, and despite his worry, felt a faint smile appear.Sv: "Ja, varje gång var det tävling om vem som kom i vattnet först."En: "Yes, it was always a race to see who got in the water first."Sv: Linnea skrattade.En: Linnea laughed.Sv: "Du fuskade alltid."En: "You always cheated."Sv: Det var ett lättsamt samtal, men det lyckades avleda Emil från hans oro, om än bara för ett ögonblick.En: It was a light-hearted conversation, but it managed to distract Emil from his worry, even if just for a moment.Sv: Linnea visste att hennes bror bar på en tung rädsla.En: Linnea knew that her brother carried a heavy fear.Sv: Hon kände det också, men hon ville inte visa det.En: She felt it too, but she didn't want to show it.Sv: Det var hennes tur att vara stark.En: It was her turn to be strong.Sv: Tiden gick långsamt där i väntrummet.En: Time passed slowly in the waiting room.Sv: Emil funderade på om han borde dela sina djupaste rädslor med Linnea.En: Emil wondered if he should share his deepest fears with Linnea.Sv: Kanske skulle det kännas lättare?En: Perhaps it would feel lighter?Sv: Men han var rädd för att göra henne ännu mer orolig.En: But he was afraid of making her even more worried.Sv: Då öppnades dörren, och en läkare kom in.En: Then the door opened, and a doctor came in.Sv: Hjärtat bankade hårdare i Emils bröstkorg.En: Emil's heart pounded harder in his chest.Sv: Läkaren log vänligt, och det gav Emil en gnutta hopp, även när oron fortfarande höll honom i sitt grepp.En: The doctor smiled kindly, which gave Emil a glimmer of hope, even as worry still held him in its grasp.Sv: "Emil, Linnea," började läkaren, "jag har era resultat här.En: "Emil, Linnea," the doctor began, "I have your results here.Sv: Det är goda nyheter."En: It's good news."Sv: Emil höll andan och Linnea kramade hans hand hårt.En: Emil held his breath, and Linnea squeezed his hand tightly.Sv: "Det är inget allvarligt," fortsatte läkaren.En: "It's nothing serious," the doctor continued.Sv: "Vi har identifierat problemet, och det är faktiskt
