Episode #400 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth celebrate 400 mainline episodes of this concept and project that started in 2017 with our longest runtime yet for a single episode. And what better way to do so than with an idea that started a few years ago where, much like life, we have no idea what is coming next on the playlist. Besides hopefully finding some really cool things through the grace of the universe, the guys also reminisce on the past 400 episodes of BGMania, especially the last almost four years that Bedroth has been on the show. Crack one open this week and celebrate with us! Here's to many more episodes to come.

On December 5, USC hosts the Soak It Up conference, exploring "landscape architecture's leadership role in addressing critical urban flooding and water management." We thought it fitting to revisit our 2024 conversation with alumna Leslie Dinkin, who earned dual degrees in heritage conservation and landscape architecture. Her award-winning master's thesis, Heritage in Practice: A Study of Two Urban Rivers, explores how and why the Los Angeles and San Antonio Rivers took such different courses in the development of their respective cities. In addition to comparing their histories, Leslie walked nearly sixty miles along both rivers. She documented the experience through her written reflections and hundreds of photos by Rio (yes, Rio) Asch Phoenix. In the episode, she shares stories, insights, and part of her conversation with Char Miller, Director of Environmental Analysis and W. M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

tradition," said Bram softly while resting his gaze on the snowflakes swirling around them.Nl: Hij hield vast aan deze momenten.En: He held fast to these moments.Nl: Voor hem was het als een stukje verleden dat hij niet wilde verliezen.En: For him, it was like a piece of the past he didn't want to lose.Nl: Maartje keek hem aan met een sprankeling in haar ogen.En: Maartje looked at him with a

melodie die langzaam vorm begon te krijgen.En: Together, they walked through the park, sharing small gifts and jokes with strangers, swaying to the sounds of their own melody that slowly began to take shape.Nl: Aan het einde van de avond, toen de lampen flikkerden en de sneeuw hun voetstappen bedekte, voelden ze zich dichter bij elkaar dan ooit.En: By the end of the evening, when the lights flickered and the snow covered their footprints, they felt closer to each other than ever.Nl: Bram had geleerd dat tradities kunnen groeien en veranderen, net als vriendschappen.En: Bram had learned

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Snowflakes and Surprises: A Winter's Tale in Tivoli Gardens Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-12-03-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: I København, midt i det kolde vinterlandskab, havde Guds snefnug helt sin egen magiske rytme.En: In København, in the middle of the cold winter landscape, God's snowflakes had their own magical rhythm.Da: Tivoli Gardens var oplyst som et glitrende julekort.En: Tivoli Gardens was lit up like a sparkling Christmas card.Da: Lyset fra hundredvis af små pærer blinkede fra træerne, og en livlig musik lød fra karusellen, der svang børn rundt i munter fryd.En: The light from hundreds of small bulbs twinkled from the trees, and lively music played from the carousel, spinning children around in cheerful delight.Da: Omkring var der boder, der solgte honningkager, varm kakao og duftende gløgg.En: Around were stalls selling gingerbread, hot cocoa, and fragrant mulled wine.Da: Julemarkedet var i fuld gang.En: The Christmas market was in full swing.Da: Mikkel og Freja gik hånd i hånd gennem menneskemængden.En: Mikkel and Freja walked hand in hand through the crowd.Da: Mikkel, med lynets glimten i øjnene, havde planlagt denne overraskelsesudflugt.En: Mikkel, with a twinkle in his eyes, had planned this surprise outing.Da: Men Freja, der altid satte pris på struktur og forberedelse, kunne ikke helt slappe af.En: But Freja, who always appreciated structure and preparation, couldn't quite relax.Da: "Mikkel," sagde hun stille, "jeg elsker dine overraskelser, men... hvad er planen?"En: "Mikkel," she said quietly, "I love your surprises, but... what is the plan?"Da: Mikkel trak på skuldrene.En: Mikkel shrugged.Da: "Planen er at hygge os.En: "The plan is to have a good time.Da: Se på julelysene.En: Look at the Christmas lights.Da: Drikke gløgg.En: Drink mulled wine.Da: Bare nyde det sammen."En: Just enjoy it together."Da: Han forsøgte at lyde afslappet, men Frejas nølende ansigt gjorde ham nervøs.En: He tried to sound relaxed, but Freja's hesitant face made him nervous.Da: Han vidste, at hun yndede at have en skitse at følge – noget han selv ofte glemte.En: He knew she liked to have an outline to follow—something he often forgot.Da: De fortsatte forbi juletræer, der strålede som stjerner, forbi søde glimt af børn, der kørte på karruseller og skøjter.En: They continued past Christmas trees that shone like stars, past sweet glimpses of children riding carousels and skating.Da: Alligevel kunne Mikkel føle spændingen stige mellem dem.En: Yet Mikkel could feel the tension rising between them.Da: Freja vrikkede ubehageligt på skuldrene, mens kulden bidrev til deres stigende uro.En: Freja shifted uncomfortably, while the cold contributed to their growing unease.Da: "Jeg ved, det er uforsigtligt, men vi skal finde glæden ved det her," sagde Mikkel, mens han trak Freja mod en bod, der solgte brændte mandler.En: "I know it's reckless, but we need to find the joy in this," said Mikkel, as he pulled Freja toward a stall selling roasted almonds.Da: Han smilede, men hans forsøg vaklede.En: He smiled, but his attempt faltered.Da: Freja stoppede, hendes øjne spejdede efter noget konkret, noget at stole på.En: Freja stopped, her eyes searching for something concrete, something to rely on.Da: Men pludselig, mens de stod der i stilheden mellem deres uro, begyndte snefnuggene at falde.En: But suddenly, as they stood there in the silence between their unease, the snowflakes began to fall.Da: Smukke snefnug, der landede blidt på jorden og på de brændte mandler Freja netop havde købt.En: Beautiful snowflakes gently landed on the ground and on the roasted almonds Freja had just bought.Da: "Se!"En: "Look!"Da: sagde Mikkel.En: said Mikkel.Da: "Det er det her, jeg ønskede.En: "This is what I wanted.Da: Magien ved det uventede."En: The magic of the unexpected."Da: Freja kiggede op, og hun lo.En: Freja looked up, and she laughed.Da: Den slags latter, der lettede enhver bekymring.En: The kind of laughter that eased any worry.Da: "Du har ret," sagde hun.En: "You're right," she said.Da: "Det er smukt."En: "It's beautiful."Da: Sneen dæmpede lydene, og for et øjeblik var de to det eneste i rummet, indhyllet i et stille vinters eventyr.En: The snow muffled the sounds, and for a moment, they were the only ones in the room, enveloped in a quiet winter's adventure.Da: Mikkel kiggede på Freja med ny forståelse.En: Mikkel looked at Freja with newfound understanding.Da: Måske kunne han forsøge at være en lille smule mere organiseret.En: Maybe he could try to be a little more organized.Da: Og Freja?En: And Freja?Da: Hun havde fundet skønhed i kaosset.En: She had found beauty in the chaos.Da: De stod sammen under den stille faldende sne og knugede sig tættere.En: They stood together under the softly falling snow and held each other closer.Da: Det blev en aften fyldt med overraskelser, varme og humor.En: It became an evening filled with surprises, warmth, and humor.Da: De fandt balancen mellem forberedelse og impulsivitet, et sted hvor de begge kunne drømme frit og sammen.En: They found the balance between preparation and spontaneity—a place where they both could dream freely and together.Da: Tivoli Gardens, under den tryllebindende vinterhimmel, blev stedet, hvor gamle gnister tændtes igen, og nye minder blev skabt.En: Tivoli Gardens, under the enchanting winter sky, became the place where old sparks were reignited, and new memories were created.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8364IL SACRO CHIODO DI COLLE VAL D'ELSA di Don Stefano Bimbi I Sacri Chiodi o Santi Chiodi sono quelli usati nella crocifissione di Gesù. Sono reliquie molto venerate dalla Cristianità, insieme alla Vera Croce e al Titulus Crucis.Fu Sant'Elena, madre dell'imperatore Costantino, a ritrovare le reliquie della Passione durante il suo pellegrinaggio in Terra Santa tra il 327 e il 328. Il primo riferimento scritto a queste reliquie risale al 395 in un'orazione pronunciata da Sant'Ambrogio che le menziona nel discorso funebre per l'imperatore Teodosio.Nel VI secolo, a Costantinopoli, esistevano tracce della venerazione di più Sacri Chiodi. Tradizionalmente, i Sacri Chiodi sono ritenuti quattro, poiché si pensa che, durante la crocifissione, a ciascun piede fosse infisso un chiodo separato. Il metodo di crocifissione praticato al tempo di Gesù, infatti, seguiva l'uso riservato agli schiavi sia presso i Greci che presso i Romani fin dall'epoca precristiana. Tale tecnica prevedeva l'affiancamento dei piedi, anziché la loro sovrapposizione (come invece sembrerebbe suggerito dalla Sacra Sindone), rendendo necessario l'impiego di quattro chiodi in totale. Il commediografo latino T. Maccio Plauto, nel III sec., in Mostellaria, chiariva: «affinché siano inchiodati alla croce due volte i piedi, due volte le braccia». Anche san Cipriano nel Sermo de Passione Domini, sempre nel III secolo affermava: «con i chiodi che trapassarono i santi piedi».Nonostante in Europa siano una trentina le reliquie venerate come Sacri Chiodi, i quattro principali sono considerati quello conservato nella Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, quello nella corona ferrea a Monza, quello sospeso sopra l'altare maggiore del Duomo di Milano e infine quello del duomo di Colle di Val d'Elsa in provincia di Siena. Questo vuol dire che gli altri sono falsi? Assolutamente no. Non deve sorprendere il fatto che i Sacri Chiodi venerati siano molteplici. In un'epoca di profonda fede come il Medioevo, si sentì la necessità di moltiplicare queste reliquie per rispondere al desiderio ardente dei cristiani di possedere un segno tangibile della Passione di Cristo. È documentato infatti che, utilizzando limature o frammenti dei Sacri Chiodi autentici, vennero forgiati altri chiodi per essere distribuiti alla devozione dei fedeli. Altro modo di moltiplicare le reliquie era per contatto. Bastava prendere un chiodo e metterlo a contatto con un Sacro Chiodo. Ad esempio San Carlo Borromeo donò parecchi chiodi che erano stati a contatto con il Sacro Chiodo di Milano. A Colle di Val d'Elsa l'uso di creare nuove reliquie per contatto si diffuse a tal punto che nel 1683 le autorità proibirono che qualunque oggetto toccasse il Sacro Chiodo. Va tenuto conto che si possono considerare comunque degni di venerazione sia queste reliquie "prodotte" a partire dai Sacri Chiodi originali, sia altri chiodi che, sebbene non abbiano sostenuto il corpo di Gesù, siano però serviti comunque per la crocifissione, ad esempio quelli con cui vennero connesse le parti della Croce o quello con cui fu affissa la tavoletta col Titulus Crucis.COLLE DI VAL D'ELSATornando ai quattro Sacri Chiodi principali, essi sono dunque conservati a Roma, Milano, Monza e Colle di Val d'Elsa. Visto che in quest'ultima città sono nato e che la mia famiglia vi abita almeno dal 1400, vorrei narrarne più approfonditamente la storia.Colle di Val d'Elsa è il comune della Toscana sulla strada tra Firenze e Siena che ha dato i natali ad Arnolfo di Cambio, famoso scultore e architetto. Il Sacro Chiodo che vi si venera è un chiodo di ferro di circa ventidue centimetri di lunghezza, munito ad un'estremità della capocchia ed all'altra ancora appuntito, intaccato e piegato in prossimità della punta. Nelle descrizioni di questa reliquia riportate nei documenti ufficiali sempre si parla di Unus ex Clavis quo crucifixus est Dominus Noster Jesus Christus. Cosi nelle bolle dei papi Eugenio IV, Callisto III, Sisto V, Urbano VIII, Clemente X. Molto probabilmente si tratta del chiodo che trafisse il piede sinistro di Gesù.La preziosa reliquia giunse in Val d'Elsa nel IX secolo grazie a un vescovo franco che la ricevette dalle mani di un pontefice negli anni successivi alla morte di Carlo Magno. Durante il viaggio di ritorno il vescovo morì a Viterbo affidando il prezioso chiodo a un sacerdote originario del contado colligiano. L'insigne reliquia ebbe subito un grande culto. Tra i devoti spicca l'arciprete Sant'Alberto da Chiatina che resse il clero di Colle dal 1177 al 1202, quando morì "crocifisso" da lunghe sofferenze corporali sopportate con esemplare pazienza tanto da essere definito il Giobbe della Valdelsa, il cui corpo si trova nel duomo dove è conservato il Sacro Chiodo. In alcuni documenti dell'epoca il Sacro Chiodo è stato detto "Chiodo del Beato Alberto".La preziosa reliquia si trova ancora oggi custodita in un semplice bucciolo di canna, lo stesso che l'avvolgeva quel lontano giorno in cui il Sacro Chiodo passò dalle mani del vescovo franco a quelle del sacerdote colligiano. Sembra che questo contenitore fosse una parte della canna usata per porgere l'aceto a Gesù sulla croce. Quel che è certo è che quando i canonici provarono a mettere la reliquia in un contenitore diverso, cioè un reliquiario d'argento, il Sacro Chiodo fu ritrovato miracolosamente nel vecchio bucciolo di canna. Oggi la reliquia è conservata dentro di esso e posta all'interno di un pregevole forziere d'argento, raffinata opera di oreficeria fiorentina datata 1628. Al suo interno si trovano anche, perfettamente conservati, gli antichissimi guanti di lana indossati nel XII secolo da Sant'Alberto e utilizzati da tutti i suoi successori fino ad oggi per maneggiare la sacra reliquia. Il forziere è custodito in un apposito tabernacolo ed è protetto da cinque chiavi. In passato due di esse erano conservate dal Comune, una dal vescovo e le rimanenti dai canonici. Nel 1868 il Comune, in pieno clima risorgimentale, rinunciò a tale diritto in nome della separazione tra Stato e Chiesa e come segno di disprezzo della devozione popolare.FATTI STRAORDINARINumerosi sono i fatti straordinari e le grazie attribuite nel corso dei secoli alla venerazione del Sacro Chiodo, molti dei quali documentati con cura. L'insigne reliquia veniva solennemente invocata nei momenti più drammatici della storia cittadina. Emblematico è l'episodio della peste che colpì Colle nel 1527. Ogni giorno si contavano tra i trenta e i quaranta morti. La gente era stremata e impaurita, ma in quel momento venne presa una decisione coraggiosa e carica di fede: portare in processione per tutta la città la sacra reliquia. C'erano tutti: uomini, donne, l'intero clero. E tutti camminavano scalzi, in segno di penitenza e devozione profonda. Non c'erano a quell'epoca autorità sanitarie e decreti governativi a bloccare il popolo che si riuniva per pregare. Ogni passo era un atto di speranza lanciato contro la malattia che mieteva vittime senza sosta. E il miracolo avvenne, la peste si fermò. Non un altro morto. Non un nuovo contagio. Testimoni oculari lasciarono racconti scritti a futura memoria.Con questa stessa devozione furono affrontate guerre come durante l'assedio degli Aragonesi nel 1479, la carestia del 1540 ed ogni sorta di calamità naturali come siccità o, al contrario, piogge troppo abbondanti. Si contano inoltre tante e frequenti guarigioni, incluse liberazioni dalle insidie dei demòni che innanzi al Sacro Chiodo si contorcono e fuggono poiché, secondo l'affermazione di S. Ambrogio tale è la «virtù infusa da Dio in tutti i Chiodi della Crocifissione».Un episodio singolare accadde durante l'episcopato di monsignor Niccolò Sciarelli. Il vescovo, di chiare idee gianseniste, si mostrava contrario non solo al culto del Sacro Chiodo, ma in generale a quello di tutte le reliquie. Per questo disprezzava la festa del Sacro Chiodo, così amata dal popolo. Accadde però che nel 1796 proprio durante la celebrazione liturgica della solennità dell'Esaltazione della Santa Croce, in cui tradizionalmente si venerava il Sacro Chiodo, fu colpito da paralisi e fu costretto ad abbandonare il governo della diocesi.LA TRADIZIONEAncora oggi a Colle di Val d'Elsa la seconda (o la terza) domenica di settembre si celebra la festa del Sacro Chiodo che inizia con un triduo di preparazione con Messe e catechesi appropriate. La domenica c'è poi la festa vera e propria con i vespri presso la concattedrale di Colle di Val d'Elsa a cui segue la Santa Messa solenne concelebrata dai sacerdoti del paese e presieduta da un vescovo o un cardinale. Segue la processione organizzata dalla Centuria del Sacro Chiodo fondata nel 1645. Sovrastata da un baldacchino, in mano al celebrante, la sacra reliquia viene portata per le vie della città. Arrivati al baluardo che sovrasta il resto dell'abitato si procede con la benedizione dei quattro angoli della città con il Sacro Chiodo. Poi si torna in duomo e il popolo canta l'inno sacro che inizia così: "Su, cantiamo, cantiamo fratelli, l'inno sacro all'amata Reliquia". Mentre il ritornello invoca: "O dolcissimo pegno d'amor, rendi a Colle propizio il Signor". Nel mentre il Sacro Chiodo viene inserito in un reliquiario di vetro e i fedeli si accostano con devozione baciando la sacra reliquia in segno di venerazione. Ai soli sacerdoti è concesso il privilegio di baciare direttamente il Sacro Chiodo senza il reliquiario di vetro.La Festa del Sacro Chiodo è un'opportunità per i devoti di immergersi in un'atmosfera di contemplazione, mentre si onora una reliquia sac

Galahad and the Grail is Book 1 of Merlin’s Isle, Malcolm Guite’s retelling of the King Arthur legends in ballad form. It releases in March of 2026. In the prelude to Galahad and the Grail, a voice shimmering in the morning air says: Poet, take up the tale–Take up the tale the land still keeps,In earth and water magic sleeps,The dryad sighs, the naiad weeps,But you can lift the veil. Malcolm has taken up a very old tale and lifted the veil on stories that have lingered in the traditions of the British Isles longer than the English language itself. Scholar and teacher Junius Johnson is taking up the tale in another way. Starting in January 2026, Junius is teaching a 20-week online class on the King Arthur legend. He describes the class as a chance to see for yourself why this story has fascinated the imagination for so many centuries. In this episode, Malcolm, Junius talk with Jonathan Rogers about how King Arthur rode into their lives, and what these stories have meant to them.

We've seen the concept of the shepherd introduced in chapter 10, and chapter 11 will detail a "sign-act" where God calls Zechariah to literally become a shepherd so that Israel might see a tangible picture both of how God longed to shepherd his people and how his sheep refused his shepherding. In the process, we'll consider how well our own "under-shepherding" of others reflects the Good Shepherd as well as pondering how we're doing at following the Good Shepherd ourselves.

History has not graced us with many details about Shakespeare as a person, but we do know that he and his wife had three children, including a son named Hamnet who died at the age of 11 in 1596, four years before Shakespeare went on to write his great tragedy “Hamlet.”Maggie O'Farrell's novel “Hamnet” — one of the Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2020, and the source of Chloé Zhao's new movie of the same name — starts from those scant facts, and spins them into a powerful story of grief, art and family steeped in the textures of late-16th-century life.In this episode of the Book Review Book Club, host MJ Franklin discusses “Hamnet” with his colleagues Leah Greenblatt, Jennifer Harlan and Sarah Lyall. Other works mentioned in this podcast:“Hamlet,” “King Lear,” “Macbeth,” “The Winter's Tale,” by William Shakespeare“Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott“Grief Is the Thing With Feathers,” by Max Porter“Lincoln in the Bardo,” by George Saunders“Fi,” by Alexandra Fuller“Things In Nature Merely Grow,” by Yiyun Li“The Accidental Tourist,” by Anne Tyler“Will in the World” and “Dark Renaissance,” by Stephen Greenblatt“Gabriel,” by Edward Hirsch“Once More We Saw Stars,” by Jayson Greene“The Dutch House,” by Ann Patchett Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
