Ornate Hawk-Eagles stand out from other raptors with their impressive crest that looks like an elegant crown in adults, and a punk hairdo over the white-headed and black-bodied juveniles. These birds are excellent hunters, but they're also devoted parents.¡Escuche este episodio en BirdNote en Español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Anyone who ever listened to Jenna Blum do interviews on the A Mighty Blaze podcast will not be one bit surprised to hear that we had a great time talking all things writing but most specifically writing BIG—which Jenna has absolutely done with her current book, Murder Your Darlings. Murder Your Darlings is a contemporary thriller and a real departure from Jenna's very popular historical fiction—a departure that's totally in keeping with Jenna's own enthusiastic, passionate personality. As her agent said, her earlier work was elegant and restrained (although still powerful) but in this one Jenna lets herself loose. We had a wonderful time talking about it, and I know you'll have a great time listening. #AmReadingThe Plot and The Sequel, Jean Hanff Korelitz Last Seen, Christopher CastellaniYou, Caroline KepnesJoin Jenna on tour—she's absolutely a joy to listen to on writing and probably any other topic!

Kirsty Gibson is an investment manager at Baillie Gifford, where she has spent over 13 years.  She is currently focused in particular on investing in US equities with a growth orientation. Our conversation starts with Kirsty's roots and her training in classical ballet. This was an unusual yet direct route to Baillie Gifford as she first came across the firm when she saw that they were sponsoring a ballet performance they had attended – evidence that sponsorship of similar events does in fact get noticed and yield returns! We move then to her investment beliefs, her Masters in carbon management and what she derived from it and her approach to stock picking. We dive into the cultural aspects that make a firm a rewarding place to work, and about the mindset needed to thrive as an active equity manager today.  This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital. For over 20 years Evanston Capital has had a key focus in identifying early-stage investment managers it believes are capable of generating long-term, value-added returns in complex, innovative strategy areas. Alvine Capital is a specialist investment manager and placement boutique with a particular focus on alternative assets with significant presence in London and Stockholm.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany, chiropractor, educator, and creator of the Becoming Trigger-Proof methodology, for a deep and illuminating conversation about people pleasing, trauma responses, attachment patterns, and how nervous system healing transforms our relationships — with others and with ourselves.Dr. Nima shares his personal journey from chiropractic care into somatic psychology and attachment work, shaped by his own experiences with ruptured relationships, trauma bonding, and nervous system dysregulation. Together, we explore how stress, chronic illness, burnout, and relational conflict often stem from self-abandonment learned early in life — and how healing begins by turning inward.This conversation weaves somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, shadow work, and attachment theory into a compassionate framework for understanding why so many of us struggle with boundaries, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode, we explore:The fawn response and how people pleasing develops as a survival strategyWhy self-abandonment often leads to burnout, autoimmunity, and chronic stressHow childhood attachment wounds show up in adult relationships and parentingThe difference between being boundaryless, walled-off, and elegantly boundariedWhy resentment builds when we ignore our body's “no”How shadow work helps us reclaim disowned parts of ourselvesA somatic approach to working with triggers in real timeWhat it actually means to be “regulated” — and why regulation doesn't mean being calm all the timeHow to build resilience by increasing your capacity to feel, rather than suppress, emotionDr. Nima also walks us through a powerful, embodied example of how triggers with our children or partners can become doorways to healing unmet needs within ourselves — offering a practical, compassionate roadmap for rupture and repair.This episode is especially supportive if you:Identify as a people pleaser or “the strong one”Struggle with guilt around saying noFeel chronically depleted despite doing “all the right things”Are navigating parenting, partnership, or work stressSense that your nervous system is asking for a different way of relatingResources mentioned:WebsiteDr. Nima Rahmany's Attachment Style QuizThe Trigger-Proof ExperienceFacebookResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

We're joined by Stefanie Powers for a layered conversation that spans Hollywood's golden-era traditions, cultural change, and a life shaped by both stardom and purpose.For those in the Los Angeles area, Stefanie, with co-star Patrick Wayne, will be performing 'Love Letters' at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood as a benefit for the William Holden Wildlife Foundation on January 11, 2026!Stefanie reflects on growing up alongside future screen legends at Hollywood High School, and how her lifelong love of animals began at home, thanks to a stepfather who raised thoroughbreds and kept exotic animals. Her first professional job came at age 15 when she was cast in the film West Side Story, where the young cast prepared by listening to recordings of real New York street kids to capture authentic rhythms and speech patterns. However, Stefanie's tender age required too many work time restrictions as the production's intensity ramped up and her part was re-cast. She describes old school studio system rigors, where actors “sold their lives” for a seven-year contract. Restrictive, yes, but also an entertainment education that taught singing, dancing, acting, and stage presence, alongside publicity essentials.Still under contract with Columbia, she was loaned out to United Artists to make McLintock! and Stefanie shares memories of working with John, Michael and Patrick Wayne.The legendary show biz tales are boundless. Did you know that Natalie Wood, Jill St. John and Stephanie were all in the same childhood dance class? All would, one way or another, be married to Robert Wagner. And, true story: During a painful divorce, Stefanie was offered solace at Roddy McDowell's house by fellow travelers, Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner.She also recounts the party at Dean Martin's home where she danced the night away with Bobby Kennedy Sr. as he encouraged her to use her Spanish language skills to become more civically involved with Latino communities here at home.She also speaks candidly about her complex romantic relationship with William Holden, whose influence on her life is ongoing. In his name, she has created The William Holden Wildlife Foundation in Kenya where local youth learn biodiversity, species conservation and alternatives to habitat destruction for humans and wildlife.And of course, we talk Hart To Hart where Stefanie starred with Robert Wagner. She was actually on her way to Broadway when a newspaper strike halted her production of Cyrano, and freed her to take a pilot that would change her life!In current media --Fritz: (joined by his daughter Carly!)

Publicly available data can paint a much clearer picture of our lives than most of us realize, and this episode takes a deeper look at how those tiny digital breadcrumbs like photos, records, searches, even the background of a Zoom call can be pieced together to reveal far more than we ever intended. To help break this down, I'm joined by Cynthia Hetherington, Founder and CEO of The Hetherington Group, a longtime leader in open-source intelligence. She also founded Osmosis, the global association and conference for OSINT professionals, and she oversees OSINT Academy, where her team trains investigators, analysts, and practitioners from all experience levels. Cynthia shares how she started her career as a librarian who loved solving information puzzles and eventually became one of the earliest people applying internet research to real investigative work. She talks about the first wave of cybercrime in the 1990s, how she supported law enforcement before the web was even mainstream, and why publicly accessible data today is more powerful and more revealing than ever. We get into how OSINT actually works in practice, from identifying a location based on a sweatshirt logo to examining background objects in video calls. She also explains why the U.S. has fewer privacy protections than many assume, and how property records, social media posts, and online datasets combine to expose surprising amounts of personal information. We also explore the growing role of AI in intelligence work. Cynthia breaks down how tools like ChatGPT can accelerate analysis but also produce hallucinations that investigators must rigorously verify, especially when the stakes are legal or security-related. She walks through common vulnerabilities people overlook, the low-hanging fruit you can remove online, and why your online exposure often comes from the people living in your home. Cynthia closes by offering practical advice to protect your digital footprint and resources for anyone curious about learning OSINT themselves. This is a fascinating look at how much of your life is already visible, and what you can do to safeguard the parts you'd rather keep private. Show Notes: [01:17] Cynthia Hetherington, Founder & CEO of The Hetherington Group is here to discuss OSINT or Open-Source Intelligence. [02:40] Early cyber investigators began turning to her for help long before online research tools became mainstream. [03:39] Founding The Hetherington Group marks her transition from librarian to private investigator. [04:22] Digital vulnerability takes center stage as online data becomes widely accessible and increasingly revealing. [05:22] We get a clear breakdown of what OSINT actually is and what counts as "publicly available information." [06:40] A simple trash bin in a photo becomes a lesson in how quickly locations can be narrowed down. [08:03] Cynthia shares the sweatshirt example to show how a tiny image detail can identify a school and possibly a city. [09:32] Background clues seen during COVID video calls demonstrate how unintentional information leaks became routine. [11:12] A news segment with visible passwords highlights how everyday desk clutter can expose sensitive data. [12:14] She describes old threat-assessment techniques that relied on family photos and subtle personal cues. [13:32] Cynthia analyzes the balance and lighting of a Zoom backdrop, pointing out what investigators look for. [15:12] Virtual and real backgrounds each reveal different signals about a person's environment. [16:02] Reflections on screens become unexpected sources of intelligence as she notices objects outside the camera frame. [16:37] Concerns grow around how easily someone can be profiled using only public information. [17:13] Google emerges as the fastest tool for building a quick, surface-level profile of almost anyone. [18:32] Social media takes priority in search results and becomes a major driver of self-exposed data. [19:40] Cynthia compares AI tools to the early internet, describing how transformative they feel for investigators. [20:58] A poisoning case from the early '90s demonstrates how online expert communities solved problems before search engines existed. [22:40] She recalls using early listservs to reach forensic experts long before modern digital research tools were available. [23:44] Smarter prompts become essential as AI changes how OSINT professionals gather reliable information. [24:55] Cynthia introduces her C.R.A.W.L. method and explains how it mirrors the traditional intelligence lifecycle. [26:12] Hallucinations from AI responses reinforce the need for human review and verification. [27:48] We learn why repeatable processes are crucial for building trustworthy intelligence outputs. [29:05] Elegant-sounding AI answers illustrate the danger of unverified assumptions. [30:40] An outdated email-header technique becomes a reminder of how quickly OSINT methods evolve. [32:12] Managed attribution—hiding your digital identity—is explained along with when it's appropriate to use. [33:58] Cynthia unpacks the reality that the U.S. has no constitutional right to privacy. [35:36] The 1996 case that sparked her digital-vulnerability work becomes a turning point in her career. [37:32] Practical opt-out steps give everyday people a way to remove basic personal data from public sites. [38:31] She discusses how indirect prompting of AI tools can still narrow down someone's likely neighborhood or lifestyle. [39:58] Property and asset records emerge as unavoidable exposure points tied to government databases. [40:52] A high-risk client's situation shows how family members often create digital vulnerabilities without realizing it. [42:44] Threats that surface too late demonstrate why proactive intelligence work is essential. [44:01] Concerns about government surveillance are contrasted with the broader access private investigators actually have. [45:12] Train tracks become an example of how physical infrastructure now doubles as a modern data network. [46:03] She explains how audio signatures and forensic clues could theoretically identify a train's path. [47:58] Asset tracking becomes a global operation as valuable cargo moves between ships, trucks, and rail systems. [49:48] Satellite imagery makes monitoring even remote or underwater locations almost effortless. [51:12] Everyday applications of geospatial analysis include environmental changes and shifts within local communities. [52:19] Surveillance is compared to gravity; it's constant, invisible, and always exerting pressure. [52:44] Cynthia shares practical strategies for controlling your environment and keeping conversations private. [54:01] Resources like OSINT Academy, Information Exposed, and the Osmosis Association offer pathways for learning and strengthening personal privacy. [55:32] The episode closes with encouragement to stay aware of what you share and how easily digital clues can be connected. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Junge Frau aus gutem Hause trifft Mann aus gutem Hause, Andere aus besserem oder schlechterem Hause kommen dazwischen. Frau ringt mit sich und der Verwandtschaft zwischen Teatime, Picknick und Tanzball und am Ende wird geheiratet. So schlicht, so Jane Austen – könnte man meinen. Auch Charlotte Brontë fasst ihr Werk später zusammen: „Elegant, aber beschränkt.“ Vladimir Nabukov hingegen stellt Jane Austen in eine Reihe mit Kafka oder Proust. Und heute noch geht es auch Otto-Normal-Lesern nicht anders: Die einen stellen die Schriftstellerin in die Kitschecke, die anderen verehren sie fast kulthaft – auch gerade junge Menschen. Warum löst Jane Austen diese heftige Reaktionen aus? Und was hat sie uns heute noch zu sagen? Eva Röder diskutiert mit Elsemarie Maletzke – Journalistin und Autorin; Eva Pramschüfer – Journalistin, Autorin, Booktokerin; Denis Scheck –Literaturkritiker und Autor

“When the civil rights movement began to challenge Jim Crow laws, the white southern press reframed the coverage of racism and segregation as a debate over journalism standards. Many white southern editors, for instance, designated Black Americans as “Negro” in news stories, claiming it was necessary for accuracy and “objectivity,” even as white subjects went unlabeled. These news professionals disparaged media outlets that did not adhere to these norms, such as the Black press. In this way, the southern white press weaponized journalism standards—and particularly the idea of objectivity—to counter and discredit reporting that challenged white supremacy. Through deep engagement with letters and other materials in numerous archives from editors, journalists, and leaders of newswire services, Racializing Objectivity: How the White Southern Press Used Journalism Standards to Defend Jim Crow (U Massachusetts Press, 2024)interrogates and exposes how the white southern press used journalism standards as a professional rationalization for white supremacy and a political strategy to resist desegregation. Gwyneth Mellinger argues that white skin privilege gave these news professionals a stake in the racial status quo and was thus a conflict of interest as they defended Jim Crow. Her study includes an examination of the Southern Education Reporting Service, an objectivity project whose impartiality, she contends, instead affirmed systemic racism. In a pointed counternarrative, Mellinger highlights Black editors and academics who long criticized the supposed objectivity of the press and were consequently marginalized and often dismissed as illegitimate, fanciful, and even paranoid. Elegant and incisive, Racializing Objectivity unequivocally demonstrates that a full telling of twentieth-century press history must reckon with the white southern press's cooptation of objectivity and other professional standards to skew racial narratives about Black Americans, the freedom struggle, and democracy itself.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Filled with contemporary Hawaiian music, slack-key warmth, acoustic duets, and even a touch of vintage Exotica, Episode 693 “Hauʻoli Lā Hoʻomaikaʻi” offers listeners a musical table of offerings for the holiday season. This episode is proudly sponsored by Dreamy Voyages Travel — Adventure Awaits! Dreamy Voyages helps travelers explore Hawaiʻi, the South Pacific, Asia, Europe, and destinations around the world through expertly planned cruise and land adventures. From songs rooted in the land to mele celebrating love, heritage, and Hawaiian identity, this episode reflects how gratitude flows through Hawaiian music and culture. Track List & Song Notes “Puʻuanahulu” – Kahiau Lam Ho – 3:34 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian “Puʻuanahulu” pays tribute to the storied region of Puʻuanahulu on Hawaiʻi Island. Kahiau Lam Ho's gentle, contemporary style shines through in a piece that blends gratitude, reflection, and community pride. Clear vocals and clean guitar lines give the song an uplifting softness, like a sunrise over the lava fields. “Waiulu” – Kahiau Lam Ho – 4:25 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian “Waiulu” is a tender love song that expresses devotion, loyalty, and emotional closeness. Lam Ho's smooth, heartfelt voice carries the poetic imagery of Hawaiian lyricism, turning the track into an intimate musical conversation. It's a modern ballad with timeless cultural roots. “Huakaʻi Hele” – Kawika Kahiapo – 4:19 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian “Huakaʻi Hele” evokes the idea of traveling through life guided by purpose, memory, and connection to the ʻāina. Kawika Kahiapo's warm slack-key guitar and soulful baritone create a meditative soundscape, inviting listeners into a quiet journey across mountains, shorelines, and the inner landscape of reflection. “ʻĀina Momona” – Kawika Kahiapo – 4:07 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian Meaning “the fertile land,” “ʻĀina Momona” honors the abundance and generosity of Hawaiʻi. Kahiapo explores themes of stewardship, responsibility, and gratitude for the natural world. His soothing vocals and thoughtful phrasing turn the song into a gentle reminder of our kuleana to care for the land that sustains us. “Beautiful Kahana” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 3:58 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian A nostalgic tribute to the beloved windward community of Kahana, this track blends Jerome Koko's classic Makaha Sons vocal warmth with Daniel Ho's clean acoustic arrangements. The song feels like a quiet breeze off the Koʻolau mountains—peaceful, familiar, and full of longing for a cherished place. “Kaleleonālani” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 2:21 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian “Kaleleonālani” is a graceful instrumental paying homage to Princess Victoria Kamāmalu. Elegant fingerstyle guitar and soft harmonics create a reverent, contemplative mood. The composition carries the unmistakable hallmark of Daniel Ho's artistry—clean, precise, and emotionally resonant. “Left Arm of Buddha” – The Waitiki 7 – 4:43 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica Steeped in the traditions of mid-century Exotica, “Left Arm of Buddha” brings playful rhythms, tropical percussion, and shimmering vibraphone textures. The Waitiki 7 revive a genre rooted in imagination and atmosphere, capturing the fantasy and adventure of old Hawaiʻi tiki lounges with modern musicianship. “Her Majesty's Pearl” – The Waitiki 7 – 3:03 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica A bright and cinematic follow-up to their earlier track, “Her Majesty's Pearl” sparkles with melodic charm and rhythmic storytelling. The piece feels like the soundtrack to a vintage island-adventure film—whimsical, colorful, and filled with character. “Mālama Mau Hawaiʻi” – Waipuna – 4:56 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian Powerful, proud, and deeply rooted in cultural identity, “Mālama Mau Hawaiʻi” is a call to protect and cherish the heritage of Hawaiʻi. Waipuna's signature harmonies carry strength and conviction, blending traditional themes with modern arrangements to create an anthem of unity and responsibility. “Papa Sia” – Waipuna – 2:43 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian “Papa Sia” brings joyful energy with rhythmic guitar lines and spirited performance. The track celebrates movement, dance, and the cheerful side of Hawaiian music, offering a lively closing to this Thanksgiving playlist.

Elegant Black Terns breed in summer on secluded wetlands across the northern states and Canada. Because of major losses of wetlands in their breeding range — especially in Canada's prairie provinces — Black Tern numbers have dropped dramatically since the 1960s. The future of this beautiful bird depends on protecting and restoring high-quality wetlands. Recent research shows that artificial nest platforms can enhance the terns' breeding success.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Longines famously says, “Elegance is an attitude.” But let's be honest; there's probably more to it than that. On today's episode of Fratello Talks, we're asking the big question: what makes a watch truly elegant? Is it the proportions, the case material, or the strap? Maybe it's how the watch sits on your wrist, or perhaps it's the mysterious mix of all these things, like some horological alchemy that gives a timepiece its unmistakable charm. And let's not forget the wearer. Elegance might not live in the watch at all. It could be in the confidence and subtlety that the person wearing the watch brings to it. Whatever the answer (or lack thereof), Nacho, Lex, and Thomas are ready to dig in, veering slightly off the rails along the way.

"I tell people I haven't made my best wine yet" - Tom MaloneThe Marys are on location in Amador County in California's Sierra Foothills!On the podcast today, plein air is a French term for painting outside in a natural environment. Well, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more picturesque spot to paint than our location today. We are at PleinAir Vineyards, one of Amador County's newest wineries. This is a small, intimate winery started by husband and wife team Tom and Sarah Malone, with an eye for design and a taste for good wine. We're excited to have Tom and his consulting winemaker Steve Leveque (whose pedigree includes Mondavi, Opus One, and Hall Wines) here to paint the picture of PleinAir for us.Tom and Sarah were in the home remodeling business, renovating houses with a French country flair. They bring that design aesthetic to their winery, filled with items Sarah finds combing through French markets, and the winery's motto- Casual, Rustic, Elegant - reflects this.At PleinAir there's a certain je ne sais quoi vibe here, inviting you to slow down and soak up the wine country lifestyle in chic style. So pop a cork, pour a glass and dream of enjoying wine plein air.

What's the secret to keeping your balance? The ear does more than hear: it helps us stay stable by perceiving movements and gravity. Elegant sensors deep within the skull detect every twist, turn, and tumble, powering swift reflexes that keep vision and balance steady. This is the vestibular system. It's primordial and ubiquitous: every animal has one, and even plants have a rudimentary version. It works so well that we take it for granted--until it fails. How does this remarkable system function? What happens when it goes haywire? How can modern medicine treat vestibular disease? The Great Balancing Act: An Insider's Guide to the Human Vestibular System (Columbia UP, 2025) tells the story of the vestibular system, from T. rex hearing organs to cochlear implants, and from the unsung power of hair cells to inner-ear problems in outer space. Combining neuroscience, history, and medicine, Jeffrey D. Sharon--a vestibular doctor and researcher--explains the sense of balance using accessible language and wry humor. He recounts how pioneering scientists solved the mysteries of the vestibular system and shows why it is necessary for spatial reasoning and abstract thought. Sharon explores the devastating consequences of vestibular problems such as vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance, offering an expert, patient-friendly look at emerging and future treatments. Engaging and entertaining, this book invites readers to discover a little-known yet vital part of ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.
