Se oli erittÀin haastavaa nÀhdÀ, kun yritys oli yhdessÀ neljÀÀn polttoaineen ympÀrillÀ. Me menimme sinne ja sanoin, ettÀ kaikki on lÀhtenyt. Me emme voineet saavuttaa mitÀÀn. Kaikki oli rauhoittunut. NÀhdÀ, ettÀ se oli todennÀköisesti todella haastavaa ja todella saavuttavaa.
Puhuin poliisipalveluun, puhuin poliisiin, ja muistan menemÀllÀ ulos pelkÀÀmÀÀn ja lopettamalla sen ulos. Menimme kotiin, ja seuraavana pÀivÀnÀ aloitimme menemÀÀn yritykselle. Yhteisö rallioi kirjoittajien ympÀristöön, jotka rakensivat rahoitusta ja muodostivat inventaatiota nopeasti. Luulen, ettÀ saimme 40 000 dollaria viikon aikana.
PÀivÀn jÀlkeen menen kaupungin ulkopuolelle. Sanoin, ettÀ onko se vielÀ olemassa? Kun voin muuttua? HÀn sanoi, ettÀ huomenna. Se on ollut todella hienoa. MeillÀ on hyvÀ yhteisö. MeillÀ on hyvÀ asiakas. Kun aloin aloittaa kaupungin, paljon ihmisiÀ, jotka eivÀt ymmÀrrÀ romaan yhteisöÀ, joka on ok, sanoivat, ettÀ onko ihmisiÀ menemÀÀn kaupungiin. Onko ihmisiÀ menemÀÀn? Ja syy, miksi menetÀÀn kaupungiin, on se, ettÀ on yhteisö. Se syy, miksi tiedÀn, ettÀ tÀmÀ konsepti toimii, on se,
The romance community and the romantic community, all of this has been online, but there's been such a push from this community in different ways of having these brick and mortar spaces where people can gather. That is the reason people support us. It's not because we sell books. The book talk phenomenon has catapulted romance into one of the fastest growing print categories. The global community of readers swapping recommendations on short form video apps.
On TikTok alone, the hashtag BookTok has amassed more than 75 million posts. I spoke to customers about how the online romance readership translates in real life. I'm a big supporter of independent bookstores. They're really great for the local community. And yes, it's easy to just go online and buy books, but I always love going into an independent bookstore and supporting the local economy. And also it's a really great space for building community. Romance can get written.
MielestÀni romanttikirjoja on niin paljon. MielestÀni erityisesti naisille, joilla on romanttikirjoja, se on yleensÀ yllÀttÀvÀÀ. Se on sellaista, mitÀ haluaisimme nÀhdÀ maailmassa. Romanttikirjoja on todella hyvÀ tapa oppia muiden ihmisten kanssa. HyvÀt tarinat ovat myös tÀrkeitÀ. Ei vain ne, joissa kaikki ovat yllÀttÀneet. Riley Farrell raportointi.
Coming up on the Happy Pod, a different kind of Grand Prix. Personally, I really hope that this race, which was born here in Japan, will spread across the world, and that tournaments will be held in various places around the globe. How a race on office chairs has taken Japan by storm.
You're listening to The Happy Pod. Eleven years ago, the Taiwanese pop star Jae Chu, who has a huge influence across Asia and the Chinese-speaking world, chose to have a wedding at an ancient abbey in the north of England. Now it seems that many of his fans are following suit. The BBC's James Graham has been along to find out more.
I'm at the thousand year old Selby Abbey, just 15 miles south of York in the north of England. It's a grand gothic building that many might mistake for a cathedral. I'm watching a bride in a huge white dress make her way up the aisle. A short time ago I had a quick word with her. My name is Qing. And where have you come from? China. Whereabouts in China? Chengdu, southeast of China.
Tarkastelijana on Jay Chow, joka on kutsuttu mandopopin juhlaan tai popmusiikkiin mandarinissa. Chow tuli Taiwanissa hÀneltÀ, Hanna Quinn-Liven, vuonna 2015. Yhteisön video on 15 miljoonaa katsojia, ja se on tuottanut yhÀ enemmÀn katsojia. Hei, olen John Wheatman, Selby Abbeyin vikar.
KyllÀ, ja luulen, ettÀ Jyrki on viimeinen paikka, johon menimme. J. Chowin nÀkemykset tÀÀllÀ enemmÀn kuin vuosi sitten ovat laittaneet tÀmÀn pienten kaupungin vÀhemmÀn kuin 20 000 henkilöÀ kansainvÀlinen turistitrailaan. Ja ei ole varma, ettÀ se kiinnostaa.
James Graham reporting. Here in the UK, a schoolgirl is on a mission to help millions of people around the world who, like her, have dyslexia. Eleven-year-old Millie won an engineering competition for inventing a special pair of glasses with coloured lenses that could help those with the condition read and write more easily. The BBC's Rachel Bulkeley has this report.
She had headaches, nausea and felt as if words were moving around on the page. Like some people with the condition, she found that wearing color-tinted glasses helped reduce some of these issues and make reading more comfortable. Different colored lenses can have different effects.
Mutta sen jÀlkeen, kun hÀn pitÀisi kÀyttÀÀ muutamia kappaleita, hÀn oli ideana luoda yhden kappaleen yhdistelmÀllÀ liittimÀllÀ. Ja hÀn laittoi prototyyppiÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ tehtÀvÀnsÀ
Out of 70,000 entries, hers was one of a handful that won a gold medal. Dr. Susan Scurlock is the founder of the organization behind the competition, Primary Engineer.
which works with schools and colleges to encourage more children to go into engineering. The idea was to bring engineering into classrooms so that children could enjoy learning more, to get more obsessed about things, I suppose, really. And it's always magical. It's always magical. And the hidden part of it is how it affects the young person. Because you see them grow in confidence. You see how that changes the dynamic.
Milly's granddad was an engineer and she'd always dreamed of following in his footsteps. She was delighted when her idea was chosen as the only competition entry to be made into a real working prototype. She collaborated with manufacturing firm Sales to make the first ever pair of her rainbow glasses.
We asked you for a few suggestions and things like that, and I remember you brought these nose pads as one of your ideas. The engineers she worked with, Ben Butcher and Harry Topping, were impressed.
Millie is now hoping to get funding to make more pairs of her rainbow glasses so they can become widely available for people with dyslexia.
Her mum, Sarah, is understandably proud. It's been amazing because I've seen how it's really affected her, how really horrendous headaches, sickness, words are constantly moving around. I think it's going to change people's life, if I'm honest, a lot for the better. Sarah, ending that report by Rachel Bulkley.
