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.

I'm delighted to welcome Akeelah Bertram and Kevin Lim to this episode of People Doing Physics.Akeelah, a British multi-disciplinary artist and the current Cavendish Arts Science Fellow, creates immersive installations that blend digital and interactive art, performance, creative technology, and sculpture—all with a focus on collective storytelling. Her work often experiments with new modes of communication, crafting experiences that connect people across different locations and contexts.Over the past year, Akeelah has been deeply engaged with scientists at the Cavendish Laboratory as part of her fellowship—a journey that led her to meet Kevin Lim.Kevin, a Postdoctoral Researcher in Physics at the Cavendish, describes himself as a curious creative in Cambridge: a singer-songwriter, storyteller, and scientist. By day, he investigates how water reacts to sound and light waves. After hours, he's a musician and videographer, teaching guitar, releasing new music, and making short films.Naturally, their paths converged, sparking a vibrant exchange of ideas and perspectives. Out of this encounter emerged a rich and reflective conversation, weaving together the threads of physics, art, and culture through personal stories and philosophical exploration.Together we delve into the way scientific practice and artistic creativity intertwine, and consider how personal histories, institutional contexts, and different ways of knowing shape our pursuit of knowledge and creativity.Stay with us.

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.
fWotD Episode 3038: Harriet Leveson-Gower, Countess Granville Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 29 August 2025, is Harriet Leveson-Gower, Countess Granville.Harriet Leveson-Gower, Countess Granville (née Lady Henrietta Elizabeth Cavendish; 29 August 1785 – 25 November 1862), was a British society hostess and writer. The younger daughter of Lady Georgiana Spencer and the William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, she was a member of the wealthy Cavendish and Spencer families and spent her childhood under the care of a governess with her two siblings.In 1809 Harriet married Granville Leveson-Gower, a diplomat who had been her maternal aunt's lover for seventeen years. The couple's marriage was long lasting and they had five children. During intermittent periods between 1824 and 1841, Granville served as the British ambassador to France, requiring Harriet to perform a relentless array of social duties in Paris that she often found exhausting and frivolous.A prolific writer of letters, Harriet corresponded with others for most of her life, often humorously describing her observations of those around her. Historians have since found her detailed accounts to be a valuable source of information on life as an ambassadress as well as life in the 19th-century aristocracy. Between 1894 and 1990, four edited collections of Harriet's correspondence were published.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Friday, 29 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Harriet Leveson-Gower, Countess Granville on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

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.
Ilika PLC CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's completion of process qualification for its Stereax M300 batteries in partnership with Cirtec Medical. Purdy said the milestone validates the choice of partnership and follows equipment commissioning earlier this year. The qualified manufacturing process now enables production for product testing and initial customer deliveries, which are expected to begin by the end of the calendar year. Discussing revenue expectations under the ten-year contract with Cirtec, Purdy noted a gradual ramp-up is expected, with capacity at the facility anticipated to be filled over the next three years. He pointed to analyst coverage from Cavendish for further revenue guidance. Purdy described the addressable market for these batteries as a fast-growing part of the electroceutical sector, with applications in orthopaedics, orthodontics and neurostimulation — all multi-billion-dollar opportunities. “The Stereax batteries really enable part of this electro-ceutical revolution that's sweeping through the healthcare industry,” he said. Looking ahead, Ilika plans to launch the higher-capacity M1000 battery and is exploring industrial and IoT applications, particularly where energy harvesting and distributed sensors can be used for asset monitoring.

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.

Today in People Doing Physics, we're delighted to welcome Professor Teuta Pilizota, a physicist who works at the intersection of biology, chemistry and physics. Having set up her first lab during her PhD, Teuta is no stranger to the challenges of moving a lab, and she recently brought her innovative biological physics work to the Cavendish Laboratory. Teuta brings a unique perspective to science. She's someone who finds the complexities of maths more straightforward than those of human nature, and who will choose excitement over logic when selecting scientific questions to research. Her curiosity drives her to scratch the surface of living matter, and to seek out new physics that is not yet understood. Together today, we talk about resilience, patience, perseverance... and what to look for in the basement of a physics lab. Stay with us.

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.

Continuing our exploration of the mid-century's most famous sisters sextet, we turn our attention to Unity, Jessica, and Deborah Mitford. If you thought the politics of the first three were fascinating, just wait: Unity adopted Nazism and befriended Adolph Hitler, Jessica was an avid communist, and Deborah married a Cavendish and became the celebrated renovator and promoter of Chatsworth House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.

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? We get to the bottom of it -- Only on The Little House 50 Podcast, where we discuss the truly important Prairieverse matters!Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon!

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Juanita Cavendish v. DOWCP
I 2009 blev jeg holdkammerater med Alex Rasmussen på Saxo Bank – Mr. Par nr. 7 og verdensmesteren fra cykelbanen. Senere, i 2011, kørte vi sammen på HTC – High Road, hvor vi blandt andet var med til at sikre tre etapesejre i Giro d'Italia – to til Cavendish og det indledende holdløb. I dag gæster Alex Bak Lane til en snak om karrieren, vores år i feltet på Saxo Bank og HTC, hans enorme talent, hvad han laver i dag – og hans egen version af, hvorfor det ikke blev til en længere karriere i det professionelle felt.

S7 E4: Catherine Cavendish Reading “The Stones of Landane”Welcome to Tea, Toast and Trivia. Thank you for listening in. I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you.Bookstores, libraries, and coffee shops are great places for book readings. There is something extraordinary about hearing the voice of an author reading their stories. Their voice and intonation are nuanced by the many hours of effort putting pen to paper. They created the characters, structured the plot, and lived every twist and turn that creates bumps in the storyline. Public libraries and bookstores have expanded their reach into a global community. Book readings have gone virtual. We are learning to embrace technology in new ways. Welcome to the podcast series, “Authors Reading their Books”, which brings authors and their books from across the world to your home. I invite you to put the kettle on and join the conversation on Tea Toast & Trivia. I am delighted that Catherine Cavendish has graciously agreed to be our guest author reading from her gothic horror novel, The Stones of Landane, a mysterious, psychological thriller. Be prepared – you will feel the approaching dread of horror.Thank you for joining Cat and me on Tea Toast & Trivia “Authors reading their Books.”And a very special thank you, Cat, for reading from The Stones of Landane. I read this book late into the night with the lights on!Listeners, I invite you to meet up with Cat on Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads Amazon, and her website and blog, Catherine Cavendish,.

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. Now scientists are racing against the clock to save the banana – again.We discuss what's being done to save the world's favorite fruit.Want to support 1A?

Iserbyt is pursuing legal action against the individual, sparking a debate about appropriate fan behavior and the boundaries of sportsmanship.

Bestselling writer Paula Brackston is back to discuss her newest book The Haunting of Hecate Cavendish which is about a young, feisty librarian in England in 1881. The library, attached to an ancient cathedral, houses a special medieval map. Little does she know how much the curious people and mythical creatures depicted on it will come to mean to her. Nor does she suspect that there are lost souls waiting for her in the haunted cathedral. Some will become her dearest friends. Some will seek her help in finding peace. Others will put her in great peril, and, as she quickly learns, threaten the lives of everyone she loves.Paula Brackston is the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch's Daughter and The Little Shop of Found Things, among others. Paula lives with her family in the historical border city of Hereford in the beautiful Wye valley. When not at her desk in her writing room, she enjoys long walks with the dog in a sublime landscape filled with the imprints of past lives and ancient times.For more information, check her out at paulabrackston.comClick here for her etsy shop which will soon be up and running.
