Podcasts about Cavendish

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die Rezension zu *Das ferne Licht der Sterne* von Laura Lam. Es handelt sich um einen dystopischen Science-Fiction-Thriller in einer nahen Zukunft, in der die Erde kurz vor dem Kollaps steht und die Suche nach einem bewohnbaren Planeten zur letzten Hoffnung für die Menschheit wird. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Biologin Naomi Lovelace und ihre Adoptivmutter Valerie Blake, eine Tech-Pionierin, die das Raumfahrtprojekt mitentwickelt hat. Als Valerie durch eine politische Intrige von der Mission ausgeschlossen werden soll, kippt die Lage: Sie kapert das Raumschiff und startet mit Naomi sowie drei weiteren Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern zu einer Reise ins All. Wir begleiten die Crew auf dem Weg zu Cavendish, einem erdähnlichen Planeten in einem anderen Sonnensystem. Dabei geht es auch um technische und praktische Fragen der Reise, etwa den Antrieb und die Versorgung an Bord. Naomi ist als Biologin für die Ernährung der Crew mitverantwortlich, und im Gespräch wird auch erwähnt, dass Algen dabei eine Rolle spielen könnten. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist der Konflikt an Bord und zwischen Naomi und Valerie. Es kommt zu ersten Zwischenfällen, und Naomi erkennt, dass jemand ein tödliches Geheimnis verbirgt und dass sie und Valerie möglicherweise unterschiedliche Ziele verfolgen. Die Folge betont außerdem die Rückblenden zur Vorgeschichte, die Beziehungen der Figuren und die Entwicklungen auf der Erde.

La banana que comes cada mañana podría desaparecer. No es exageración ni titular de tabloides: el hongo Fusarium TR4 avanza sin freno por las plantaciones de banana Cavendish en más de 23 países, y ningún fungicida del mundo puede detenerlo. En este episodio explicamos por qué la fruta más exportada del planeta está viviendo una crisis silenciosa con consecuencias globales.La Cavendish representa el 95% de las exportaciones mundiales de banana y mueve más de 14,000 millones de dólares al año. Ecuador, Colombia, Perú y Filipinas sostienen esa cadena. Pero todas esas plantas son clones genéticamente idénticos, lo que las convierte en blancos perfectos para un patógeno que ya aprendió a matarlas.Esto ya pasó antes. La Gros Michel, la banana que dominó el comercio mundial hasta los años sesenta, fue eliminada por el mismo tipo de hongo. La industria cambió de variedad y siguió adelante sin resolver el problema de fondo. Hoy estamos en el mismo punto, con menos tiempo y más en juego.En este episodio vas a entender cómo funciona el TR4, por qué contamina el suelo para siempre, cómo llegó a América Latina y qué está haciendo la ciencia para encontrar una salida, incluyendo el primer banano transgénico aprobado para producción comercial en Australia en 2024.Una historia de monocultivo, geopolítica agrícola y un hongo que no distingue fronteras. Si alguna vez quisiste entender por qué la agricultura industrial es tan frágil, este episodio es el ejemplo más concreto que vas a escuchar.Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:FAO, Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura. «Banano: Análisis del Mercado 2023».

The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish is, all at once, a satire, a treatise on natural philosophy, a work of proto-science fiction, and a defiant venture into a scientific world where women were not usually allowed. It tells the tale of a young Lady who is kidnapped by a man that tries to sail away with her. Through divine interference, however, the ship is tossed into a storm and everyone but the Lady perishes. Blown up to the North Pole, she inadvertently passes into to another world, the Blazing World, where she is almost immediately made supreme ruler. As the Lady begins to exercise her will, Cavendish lays out her own Utopia and discusses a wide range of scientific, political, social, and religious topics. But when a war breaks out in her home world, what will the Lady do with all power of the Blazing World behind her? - Summary by Sarah TerryGenre(s): Science Fiction, Published before 1800Language: EnglishKeyword(s): science fiction (442), satire (298), utopian fiction (7)

Carlo Altini"Thomas Hobbes. Elementi di legge naturale e politica"Olschki Editorewww.olschki.itQuesta opera di Hobbes costituisce il primo laboratorio sistematico della sua filosofia. Lo scopo è chiaro: individuare un fondamento razionale per la conoscenza non solo della natura, ma anche della politica. Qui la lezione di Galileo fonda l'intera scena teorica: la dimensione materialistico-meccanicistica propria della nuova scienza naturale permea l'universo hobbesiano nella sua totalità, in polemica con Aristotele e la Scolastica, giungendo a delineare un quadro organico dei rapporti tra filosofia naturale e filosofia morale, tra scienza e politica, tra antropologia e psicologia che sarà decisivo per l'impalcatura del pensiero moderno.Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) è uno dei più grandi pensatori dell'epoca moderna. Nato nel Wiltshire, nel sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra, compie i suoi studi a Oxford, ma non intraprende la carriera universitaria; grazie al suo ruolo di precettore presso la famiglia Cavendish ha comunque la possibilità di accedere a un patrimonio librario di prim'ordine e di compiere numerosi viaggi nel continente, entrando in contatto con importanti intellettuali dell'epoca, come Galilei, Descartes, Mersenne, Boyle, Spinoza, Bramhall e Wallis.L'opera che lo rende noto in tutta Europa come pensatore eterodosso è il De cive (1642), ma sarà il Leviathan, pubblicato nel 1651, a conferirgli l'immortalità.Sua massima aspirazione è la composizione di un sistema filosofico radicalmente antiaristotelico, in grado di tenere insieme teologia, filosofia prima, filosofia naturale, antropologia e filosofia civile: esso prenderà forma nel 1655 con il De corpore e, nel 1658, con il De homine, i quali, insieme al De cive, costituiscono i suoi Elementa philosophiae.“Archivio Thomas Hobbes. Testi e Studi” nasce con due intenti reciprocamente in dialogo. Il primo, di taglio storico-filosofico, mira a presentare una prospettiva critica e aggiornata sull'opera di Hobbes e sulla sua ricezione: in un'ottica di rigore scientifico, la collana ospita nuove traduzioni dei testi hobbesiani e dei suoi principali interpreti, corredate da un ampio apparato critico e bibliografico, con l'intento di offrire sia edizioni di saggi mai tradotti, sia nuove edizioni di opere già presenti in Italia, ma ormai datate e di difficile reperibilità. Il secondo intento, di matrice filosofico-politica, mira a individuare nel pensiero di Hobbes uno snodo fondamentale per la comprensione della modernità, dalle sue origini alla sua crisi, nei suoi vari aspetti metafisici, scientifici, antropologici, religiosi e politici. L'intreccio tra le due prospettive produce un contributo di riflessione storico-critica in grado di illuminare alcuni caratteri della nostra contemporaneità – dalle relazioni di potere nello spazio globale al ruolo dell'umano nell'era del digitale – sulla cui interpretazione possono avere ancora presa, per similitudine o per differenza, le categorie filosofiche moderne, notevolmente modellate da Hobbes.Carlo Altini è professore ordinario di Storia della filosofia nell'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, direttore del Convegno nazionale dei dottorati di ricerca in filosofia e componente della direzione della rivista «Filosofia politica». Nelle sue ricerche si è occupato delle origini, degli sviluppi e della crisi della modernità filosofica e politica, ricostruendo la storia e la teoria di alcuni concetti (progresso, utopia, democrazia, sovranità, potenza/potere, guerra/pace) e analizzando il contributo di alcuni pensatori moderni e contemporanei (tra cui Machiavelli, Hobbes, Harrington, Spinoza, Clausewitz, Carl Schmitt, Karl Löwith, Gershom Scholem e Leo Strauss, di cui è uno dei maggiori specialisti a livello internazionale).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Justin Dombrosky. Justin is the Vice President of the Indiana Pipe Club and co-host of the podcast Pipes, Pours, and Pals. He purchased his first pipe — a Missouri Meerschaum Hardwood — in 2017 and, like many of us when starting out, promptly scorched his tongue with a cherry Cavendish blend. What began as a simple curiosity quickly grew into deeper involvement in the hobby. In 2022, Justin and Nate Boland launched their podcast, and in 2023 the Indiana Pipe Club was formed. The Indiana Pipe Show is now preparing for its second event this September. We'll talk about all of that and more on tonight's show. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts, we will have pipe artisan Jeff Gracik talking about the pipe making seminar at the Chicago pipe show that is coming up on April 29, 2026.

Send a textWhat happens when weight loss becomes… easy?In this candid conversation, I sit down with a fellow therapist and friend Lucy Cavendish who has been taking Mounjaro (a GLP-1 medication) and has experienced significant weight loss. We explore the undeniable benefits of these injections — reduced appetite, quieter food noise, and the relief of finally seeing the scale move.But we don't stop there, we ask the deeper questions:What role did emotional triggers play in the weight gain to begin with?What happens when the injections stop?Can changing your body change how you feel about yourself?And how do we prevent old coping mechanisms from creeping back in?This episode isn't anti-medication. It's about integration.GLP-1s like Mounjaro can be powerful tools. But sustainable change often requires understanding the story behind the weight — the stress, grief, trauma, burnout, habits, identity shifts — and making sure those triggers aren't waiting quietly in the background.If you're considering these injections, currently taking them, or navigating weight loss while working on your relationship with food and your body, this episode will help you think beyond the scale.Because sometimes losing weight is the easy part.Understanding it is the real work.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe

Davos Man, The Revelation & Capital RotationFor this episode, I chat with Roger Lee, Head of Equity Strategy at Cavendish and a City veteran with almost 30 years in the equity market. Roger started his broking career with Cazenove, then worked at HSBC James Capel, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and, most recently, as Head of UK Equity Strategy at Investec.   Roger is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, a Physics graduate and a frustrated Politician.For this discussion, I wanted to talk to Roger about politics and how it has come to dominate markets over recent years. He puts today's seemingly chaotic geopolitics and rather depressing UK domestic politics into a useful historical context. It was an absorbing and illuminating chat with some suggestions on how markets might play out over the coming months. But as ever, none of what you are about to hear is any kind of advice; it is for your information and, hopefully, entertainment. Please seek personal financial advice and DYOR before investing a penny in these volatile markets.  And with that said, please enjoy my conversation with Roger Lee.  Brought to you by Progressive Equity. 

I spoke last week with Roger Lee, Market Strategist at London broker, Cavendish.We had a great conversation, sharing views on how politics have impacted markets over the span of our professional careers. Particularly we discuss how we are in revelationary era for Davos Man, the global elite and the interests of the ordinary man. And how the West can no longer afford the cost of the state. Roger talks about his ideas of how Trump's policy volatility and the impact of the AI card cycle has and will continue to impact financial markets.Dropping soon on all good podcast apps.

Barry and Abigail discuss Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and sample Wild Dog – Pale Ale and Wild Dog – Shempa Ale from Tiemann Beer in Lusaka, Zambia; Strawberry Rhubarb from New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, Wisconsin; Coconut Key Lime Pie Drips and Mischievous Grin from Barn Town Brewing in West Des Moines, Iowa; and Gallo / Famosa from Cervecería Centro Americana in Guatemala City, Guatemala.Read about how the Money for Nothing music video came to be, or watch the video.We first sampled New Glarus on our season 4 Christmas episode, Christmas Beers (Straight No Chaser and Gifted Beers).Barry pointed out that Walk of Life references other songs, and Abigail compared it to American Pie by Don McLean.Abigail formally retracted a fun “fact” she had previously shared on the podcast regarding artificial banana flavoring being based on the Gros Michel banana instead of the Cavendish banana, which is the most common banana cultivar eaten today. The 2013 SciShow video where she first learned this false fact has since been edited to remove any reference to this hypothesis but points to this article that explains the hypothesis. This Hank Green video first brought the debunking of this hypothesis to Abigail's attention.We first sampled Barn Town on our season 4 episode Barntown (Phish and Barn Town Brewery).Abigail called Why Worry an “adult lullaby,” similar to Calm Down by Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons. She then entered Why Worry into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Little April Shower from Bambi (1942). She also brought up Baby Genius by Eels as having instrumental similarities. Barry mentioned Rain by Hans Zimmer from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002). The “vibes” in the personnel list likely refers to the vibraphone, which could very well have produced the rain sounds in Why Worry.Abigail asked if Mischievous Grin would count as a “cream tangerine” (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!).Barry had heard that the three war songs on this album were inspired by the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom that lasted for a little over two months in 1982. Abigail had always pictured the Vietnam War, partly because of the imagery in Ride Across the River, and partly because Abigail's consumption of war media was heavily influenced by The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a novel about the Vietnam War.While discussing The Man's Too Strong, Abigail referenced an in-character speech by comedian and professional Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan.Up next… Version 2.0 by Garbage, Abigail's annual Phone-a-Friend submission, this time with Carlo “from Canada” Sgro, the namesake of Carlo's Corner!Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

C'est une petite phrase qui a fait beaucoup de bruit. Mark Cavendish, légende du cyclisme, a récemment affirmé que « le cyclisme est aujourd'hui le sport le plus propre du monde ». Une déclaration forte, surtout quand on connaît le passé sulfureux de la discipline.Mais a-t-il raison ? Le cyclisme a-t-il vraiment tourné la page du dopage ?Entre contrôles toujours plus stricts, passeports biologiques et nouvelles générations qui revendiquent une autre éthique, le vélo d'aujourd'hui n'est plus celui des années Armstrong. Pourtant, les soupçons demeurent, notamment face aux performances parfois jugées “surhumaines” de certains coureurs. Alors, progrès réel ou simple illusion ? Le cyclisme est-il devenu un modèle… ou reste-t-il prisonnier de son histoire ? Un invité de marque pour en parler : Antoine Marcelaud, Secrétaire Général en charge du contrôle, du juridique, des enquêtes et du renseignement au sein de l'Agence française de lutte contre le dopage. Avec Geroges Quirino, Jérôme Pineau, Pierre Koetschet et Maria Azé. Production : Théo RodriguezRéalisation : Kévin Paugam

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Alan MacEachern about his book Becoming Green Gables: The Diary of Myrtle Webb and Her Famous Farmhouse. In 1909 Myrtle and Ernest Webb took possession of a Cavendish, Prince Edward Island farm—ordinary except that it was already known as the inspiration for Anne of Green Gables, written by Myrtle's cousin, L. M. Montgomery. The Webbs welcomed visitors to “Green Gables” and took in summer boarders, making their home central to PEI's growing tourist trade. In the 1930s the farm became the centerpiece of a new national park, though the family remained its caretakers for another decade. During these years Myrtle kept a diary. When she began in 1924, she was a forty-year-old homemaker managing a household of eight; by 1954, she was a seventy-year-old widow, no longer resident in what had become the most famous house in Canada. In Becoming Green Gables, Alan MacEachern reproduces a selection of her diary entries, using them to explore topics from modern conveniences to wartime hosting and visits from “Aunt Maud” herself. Alan MacEachern is professor of history at the University of Western Ontario and has written widely on Canadian environmental history.

Chris Hugues has what he calls an interesting job.He's an assistant operator at a wastewater treatment plant in Cavendish, Vermont.On a recent August afternoon he gave NPR's Jenna McLaughlin a tour of the plant.Hughes loves his work, in all its technical, mathematical, chemical, and yes, dirty, glory.  But lately, Hughes has had to worry about a new hazard: cyberattacks.  The threat of someone cutting water off for Americans is real.Chinese hackers recently spent nearly a year inside a Massachusetts utility company that provides power and water. And last October, hackers targeted American Water, the largest wastewater utility company in the country.Water is an appealing target for hackers. People like Chris Hughes are working to make sure a cyber-attack doesn't stop the flow. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Alejandra Marquez Janse.It was edited by Courtney Dorning and Andrew Sussman.Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Notre alimentation moderne repose sur une illusion de diversité. Derrière les rayons bien garnis de nos supermarchés se cache une réalité bien plus uniforme qu'il n'y paraît : 75 % de ce que nous mangeons dépend uniquement de 12 espèces végétales (riz, blé, maïs, pommes de terre, etc.) et de 5 espèces animales (bœuf, porc, poulet, mouton et chèvre). Cette homogénéité, dénoncée par l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO), constitue une fragilité majeure pour l'ensemble du système alimentaire mondial.La première source de vulnérabilité est biologique. Lorsqu'un nombre limité d'espèces domine notre alimentation, le système devient très sensible aux maladies, aux insectes ravageurs ou aux aléas climatiques. Un exemple marquant est celui du champignon Fusarium qui a détruit la variété de bananes Gros Michel dans les années 1950. Aujourd'hui, c'est la banane Cavendish – unique variété commercialisée à grande échelle – qui est menacée par une nouvelle souche de ce champignon.Même problème pour le blé ou le maïs : en cas de sécheresse ou d'épidémie fongique sur une zone de production majeure, c'est l'ensemble de la chaîne alimentaire qui vacille, avec des conséquences sur les prix, la disponibilité, voire des famines dans certaines régions du globe. La standardisation agricole, en cherchant la rentabilité maximale, a sacrifié la résilience.La vulnérabilité est aussi génétique. En sélectionnant uniquement certaines variétés productives, souvent génétiquement très proches, on affaiblit la capacité d'adaptation naturelle des espèces. Or, cette diversité génétique est cruciale pour faire face aux changements rapides du climat, à l'émergence de nouveaux parasites ou à l'évolution des conditions agricoles.Enfin, cette uniformité a aussi des conséquences nutritionnelles. Une alimentation fondée sur quelques plantes riches en glucides mais pauvres en micronutriments peut contribuer à des carences en vitamines, minéraux ou fibres. Diversifier les cultures, c'est aussi diversifier l'assiette et améliorer la santé publique.Face à ce constat, la FAO appelle à diversifier plutôt qu'intensifier. Il ne s'agit plus seulement de produire plus, mais de produire mieux et plus varié. Cela implique de remettre en culture des plantes oubliées, d'encourager l'agriculture locale et les systèmes agroécologiques, et de protéger les races animales locales adaptées aux territoires.En conclusion, notre dépendance à un petit nombre d'espèces agricoles rend notre alimentation aussi fragile qu'efficace. Pour sécuriser l'avenir alimentaire de la planète, la biodiversité doit revenir au cœur de nos champs… et de nos assiettes. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to the eCommerce Lab Podcast! In this episode, we're joined by John Cavendish, founder of Seller Candy and an expert on solving Amazon sellers' biggest headaches.

Our featured interview on tonight's show is with Nate King, the "King of Pipes". Most people know of Nate as an excellent pipe artisan. He also has an honorary Master of Pipes degree from the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club, and is a member of the prestigious Confrérie des Maitres Pipiers de Saint-Claude. Prior to becoming a pipe maker in 2005, Nate worked in the Indy race business as a transmission specialist. Nate has just returned from pipe shows in France and Columbus, Ohio. He will be talking to Brian about those experiences. At the top of the show Brian will have a tobacco review of Cornell & Diehl's Engine #611. It's an aromatic blend with black Cavendish, Virginias, and Burleys - sweetened with a hint of coumarin vanilla.

Today Anthony chats with Ed Clancy. Ed Clancy's career intertwined with some of Britain's biggest cycling names. Coming up through the British Cycling Academy, he trained and raced alongside Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins, and Geraint Thomas. He and Cavendish were part of the same early-2000s development squads, sharing track time and road racing experience before their careers diverged — Clancy becoming a team pursuit legend and Cavendish dominating sprints on the road. With Wiggins and Thomas, Clancy formed part of the powerhouse Team GB track squad that rewrote the record books, winning multiple Olympic titles together.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

Lance, George, and Sir Bradley Wiggins discuss Tadej Pogačar's stage win atop the Mûr-de-Bretagne that netted him his 19th career Tour de France stage win and saw him further extend his GC lead over his key competition. They also discuss Jonas Vingegaard bouncing back after his disappointing time trial performance to be the only GC contender capable of matching Pogačar's acceleration to the line, Visma continuing to deploy aggressive tactics early in the stage, and how the late crash, which took down UAE's João Almeida, could complicate Pogačar's title defense when the race hits the mountains.    LMNT: Get your free 8-count Sample Pack with any LMNT purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/themove Be sure to try the new LMNT Sparkling — a bold, 16-ounce can of sparkling electrolyte water.   Join: No race?

Here's a true story: In 1848, an iron rod shot through a man's head. It smashed up under his cheekbone and came out the top of his skull. Ready for the wild part? Despite the fact that the iron rod destroyed much of his brain's left frontal lobe, he survived. Phineas Gage's story baffled the medical community. His injury became one of the most talked-about medical events of the 19th century. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet Nick, a New York police officer who desperately wants to be a detective but keeps failing the test. He's married to Audrey, a hairdresser who dreams of visiting Europe—a promise Nick made at their wedding but has yet to fulfill. After their 15th wedding anniversary dinner, Audrey calls him out on it, only for Nick to surprise her with the news that he's actually booked the trip. (He totally hasn't—but sometimes you gotta spend thousands of dollars to keep up a lie.) On the flight, Audrey meets billionaire Charles Cavendish, who invites her to a gathering aboard his family's yacht. When Nick hears about this, he's like, “No way. I have a whole thing planned.” But when that plan turns out to involve a packed tour bus, he gives in. Aboard the yacht, Nick and Audrey meet quite the cast of characters: Malcolm Quince (Cavendish's billionaire uncle), Suzi (Cavendish's ex-fiancée and now Quince's wife), Quince's son Tobey, actress Grace Ballard, a colonel and his bodyguard, a rapper, and a race car driver. Later that evening, Quince arrives and announces that Suzi—his new wife—will now be his sole heir, cutting everyone else out of the will. Naturally, this does not go over well. Just before the new will can be signed, the lights go out—and when they come back on, Quince is found stabbed through the heart. Nick jumps into detective mode and tells everyone to stay on the yacht. That night, Tobey is found dead in what looks like a suicide. When they arrive in Monte Carlo, a local investigator boards the yacht to question everyone. The other guests point fingers at the “random Americans.” The investigator tells Nick and Audrey he knows they're guilty and promises to prove it. At the Monaco Grand Prix, Nick and Audrey begin their own investigation to clear their names, interrogating the other guests. That night, the colonel's bodyguard lures them to his room and drops a bombshell: Quince once married the colonel's fiancée while the colonel was in a coma. She later died in childbirth. Just as things get juicy, someone knocks. Nick and Audrey hide, and when they come out, the bodyguard has been shot—he dies before naming the killer. Audrey is shaken when a news broadcast reveals that Nick isn't really a detective. She storms off and is picked up by Cavendish, who urges her to leave Monte Carlo immediately. Eventually, everyone winds up at a lake. Nick and Audrey reconcile and start to suspect that Cavendish and Suzi are romantically involved and conspiring to split Quince's fortune. While fleeing a masked attacker with a blow dart, they run into Carlos, the race car driver. Suzi is killed with a dart, and Nick and Carlos chase the killer but lose them. Nick and Audrey head to Quince's mansion to confront Cavendish—only to find him poisoned. They call the investigator and gather the remaining guests, but everyone seems to have an alibi. Nick and Audrey then reveal that Grace, the actress, is the mastermind. She's actually the daughter who was believed to have died in childbirth. She convinced Tobey to kill their father and then killed him herself. When she tries to escape, Nick shoots her in the arm. But the mystery isn't over—Carlos is revealed to be the second killer, seeking revenge on Quince for the injuries that left his father disabled. Carlos takes the investigator hostage and tries to escape in a car, but Nick and Audrey stop him—with help from that overcrowded tour bus they skipped earlier. In the aftermath, the investigator thanks them and offers to help Nick finally earn his promotion. The couple continues their European adventure.

Spring is in the air—even for Alison in France! Hard to believe it's been over a year since the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary event. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago… and we're still recovering. HA! Today, we're diving into our first Season 7 episode recap: The In-Laws—a whirlwind of absurd hilarity starring our favorite duo, Dean Butler and Michael Landon. This episode serves up Pa/Almanzo tension in the silliest way possible, blending slapstick humor with some questionable frontier authenticity (mountains on the prairie, anyone?). Michael Landon's comedic brilliance shines, but let's be real—this episode asks us to completely suspend our belief in historical accuracy. And these days? That kind of creative license wouldn't fly in TV production, which makes us even more curious (and hopeful!) about the upcoming Netflix adaptation. Meanwhile, the 1800s patriarchy is alive and well, as bet-making seems to be totally fine with Ma and Laura. We also have Alison's infamous pickle-and-ice-cream moment, plus Percival and Doc Baker's utterly maddening reaction to her *gasp* gaining weight. Oh, the joys of period-accurate sexism… Other highlights include:Albert rocking some impressive peach fuzzGarvey's return (and a shirtless Andy for all you Teen Beat fans!)The telephone playing a surprisingly important roleAnd seriously—can someone take Mary out to a restaurant for once?!And of course, no chaotic trip to Sleepy Eye would be complete without the comedic genius of Eddie Quillan, who steals the show as Cavendish, Pa's latest nuisance. Dean and Alison also pull back the curtain on the technical side of Little House, dishing about the extensive voiceover work (aka "looping") that was a staple of the show—much to Dean's chagrin. And finally, the real question: Did Michael Landon wax his chest?

Bananas are the world's most popular and most consumed fruit. They are also one of the most important agricultural commodities and food staples for hundreds of millions of people around the world.The fruit is also in danger of going extinct.The Panama Disease or TR-4 is threatening the most widely exported variety of the banana, the Cavendish. It makes up 99 percent of global banana exports, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission. But it's vulnerable to an aggressive fungal disease that is invading areas where most of the banana supply is produced.And it's happened before. Until the 1950s, consumers were eating a different variety of banana before it succumbed to an invading fungal disease.
