Story Transcript:Sl: Vroče pomladno sonce je skozi okno osvetljevalo pražarno kave.En: The hot spring sun shone through the window, illuminating the coffee roastery.Sl: Zrak je bil napolnjen z vonjem sveže mlete kave.En: The air was filled with the scent of freshly ground coffee.Sl: Stroj za mletje je enakomerno brnel v ozadju in ustvarjal občutek stalnosti, ki ga je rahlo zmotil šum pogovora.En: The grinding machine hummed steadily in the background, creating a sense of permanence, only slightly disrupted by the murmur of conversation.Sl: Matej je stal ob kotu, kjer so bile zložene vreče iz jute, polne kavnih zrn, a prazne obljub.En: Matej stood by the corner, where jute bags full of coffee beans, but empty of promises, were stacked.Sl: Njegove obrvi so bile rahlo namrščene, oči pa napete od skrbi.En: His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were tense with worry.Sl: Odprava kave še ni prispela in to bi lahko pomenilo težave za pražarno.En: The coffee shipment had not yet arrived, which could spell trouble for the roastery.Sl: Vsak zamik bi lahko vplival na njihovo oskrbo in posledično na stranke.En: Any delay could affect their supply and, consequently, their customers.Sl: "Moramo najti rešitev," je rekel Matej, ko je z mislimi preskakoval med možnostmi.En: "We need to find a solution," said Matej, as he mentally skipped through the possibilities.Sl: Ob njem je Anja živahno poslušala.En: Next to him, Anja listened intently.Sl: Videlo se je, da je mlada baristka želela pokazati svojo vrednost, čeprav je dvomila, ali ji ta služba resnično ustreza.En: It was evident that the young barista wanted to prove her worth, even as she doubted if this job truly suited her.Sl: Borut je prispel na sestanek z zaskrbljenim izrazom.En: Borut arrived at the meeting with a worried expression.Sl: Ni želel, da bi kdorkoli vedel za njegove težave doma, a hitenje med službo in družinskimi dolžnostmi ga je spravljalo v časovno stisko.En: He didn't want anyone to know about his troubles at home, but juggling work and family duties was making him run short on time.Sl: "Možnosti ni veliko," je nadaljeval Matej.En: "There aren't many options," continued Matej.Sl: "Če ne dobimo fižola pravočasno, moramo gledati pri drugih dobaviteljih.En: "If we don't get the beans on time, we need to look to other suppliers.Sl: Kaj menite?En: What do you think?"Sl: "Anja je previdno dvignila roko.En: Anja cautiously raised her hand.Sl: "Morda bi lahko začasno prilagodili našo ponudbo," je predlagala.En: "Maybe we could temporarily adjust our offerings," she suggested.Sl: "Naše stranke bi razumele, če bi jim pojasnili situacijo.En: "Our customers would understand if we explained the situation to them."Sl: "Matej je razmišljal o njeni ideji, ko je Borut nenadoma spregovoril.En: Matej pondered her idea when Borut suddenly spoke.Sl: "Mogoče se lahko poskušam pogovoriti z dobaviteljem," je rekel, njegov glas pa je bil dovolj odločen.En: "Maybe I can try talking to the supplier," he said, his voice sufficiently determined.Sl: Kljub svojim notranjim bojem se je nameraval soočiti z odgovornostmi.En: Despite his inner struggles, he intended to face his responsibilities.Sl: "Borut, kaj se je zgodilo s to pošiljko?En: "Borut, what happened with this shipment?"Sl: " je nežno vprašala Anja, čeprav je bilo očitno, da je širša resnica že na obzorju.En: Anja gently asked, even though it was clear that the broader truth was already on the horizon.Sl: Borut je vzdihnil in začel razlagati, kako je njegova družina potrebovala več njegovega časa.En: Borut sighed and began explaining how his family needed more of his time.Sl: Stvarnost njegovih osebnih izzivov je bila bolj zapletena, kot je želel priznati.En: The reality of his personal challenges was more complex than he wanted to admit.Sl: Matej se je sprva zatrdil, a nato se njegov obraz zmehčal.En: Matej initially steeled himself, but then his expression softened.Sl: "Vsi se soočamo s težavami," je dejal s toplim tonom.En: "We all face challenges," he said with a warm tone.Sl: "Pomagali vam bomo najti rešitev za to situacijo.En: "We'll help you find a solution to this situation."Sl: "Prijateljski pogovor je postal prava rešitev.En: The friendly conversation became a proper resolution.Sl: Skupaj so sklenili, da bodo začasno naročili manjšo količino iz alternativnega vira.En: Together, they decided to temporarily order a smaller quantity from an alternative source.Sl: Anja se je dogovorila za načine, kako obveščati stranke o spremembah, Borut pa je sprejel ponudbo za prilagodljiv urnik, ki bo upošteval njegove družinske potrebe.En: Anja arranged ways to inform customers about the changes, and Borut accepted the offer of a flexible schedule that would accommodate his family's needs.Sl: S to odločitvijo je Matej spoznal, da mora več zaupanja vlagati v svoj tim.En: With this decision, Matej realized he needed to invest more trust in his team.Sl: Anja je odkrila svojo sposobnost reševanja težav.En: Anja discovered her ability to solve problems.Sl: Borut pa je razumel, da pomoč ni znak slabosti.En: Borut understood that asking for help is not a sign of weakness.Sl: Z novo energijo so se skupaj vrnili na delovna mesta.En: With renewed energy, they returned to their workstations.Sl: Ko so stroji spet zagnali, je ritmično brnenje nakazovalo mirno prihodnost.En: As the machines started up again, the rhythmic hum signaled a peaceful future.

Slovenian Pavilion at the 53 International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di VeneziaLa Biennale di Venezia radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio Miha Štrukelj x=0 / y=0 Interference in Process At the Venice Biennale Slovenia will be represented by a project from Miha Štrukelj, conceived as a total artwork and based on four thematic levels and media: painting, wall drawing, drawing and Lego picture. The exhibition deconstructs the picture plane with the aid of the grid as a structural and conceptual basis, where the painting is deconstructed and reconstituted through the disillusioned gaze of the subject. The themes of Štrukelj's artistic practice arise from a fascination with media-manipulated images and expand into the iconography of anonymous urban topography, and the isolated, quiet presence of the human figure. This approach is reflected in all the work, with the exception of the Lego-picture which portrays natural landscapes, a rare motif in Štrukelj's work.more: http://www.slovenianpavilion.comThis podcast is created in collaboration and co-production with RAM: http://www.radioartemobile.it/in the frame Learning Slovenian Lawrence Squire My Slovene learning journey Random Logic - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, www.cona.si Random Logic alias Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established artists of the Slovene electronic music scene. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. Borut Kržišnik - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, http://www.cona.si Borut Krzisnik is a Slovenian composer of contemporary music, based in Ljubljana. He was born in Zagreb in 1961. Born into a family of diplomats, he moved frequently during his childhood, both within former Yugoslavia and abroad, before finally settling in Ljubljana. Living among different nationalities and experiencing different mentalities helped form his understanding of diversity, something which certainly contributed to his broad approach to music. He played piano as a child, eventually switching to guitar and building up his unique way of composing. He graduated in Psychology from the University of Ljubljana, but soon afterwards devoted himself to music. He released five albums: SACRE DU TEMPS (Station Zuid, 2007), A LIFE IN SUITCASES (First Name Soundtracks, 2006), STORIES FROM MAGATREA (KUD France Preseren, US's release: Falcata-Galia Recordings, 1999), CURRENTS OF TIME (Recommended Records, London, 1991; re-release: Tone Casualties, Hollywood, 1998) and LA DOLCE VITA (FV, Lju
