Das Mühlviertel im Norden Oberösterreichs ist eine Region der leisen Töne: sanfte Hügel, dichte Wälder, weite Felder und kleine Bauernhöfe prägen die Landschaft. Spektakulär-unspektakulär, nennt es einer der Menschen, denen Lydia Möcklinghoff und Erik Lorenz hier begegnen. Und gerade an diesem vermeintlich unscheinbaren Ort entdecken sie eine erstaunliche kulinarische Innovationskraft.Im kleinen Neufelden lernen sie die Familie Rachinger kennen, die hier seit Generationen den Mühltalhof betreibt und aus einem historischen Familienbetrieb einen außergewöhnlichen kulinarischen Ort geschaffen hat. Mit Helmut Rachinger sammeln Lydia und Erik wilden Hopfen, Giersch und andere Kräuter am Ufer der Großen Mühl – bevor sie am Abend erleben, was Sohn Philip Rachinger und sein Team daraus in einem mit zwei Michelin-Sternen ausgezeichneten Zwölf-Gänge-Menü entstehen lassen.Außerdem besuchen sie den Bio-Landwirt Johannes Steinmayr, der von Tierwohl, regionalen Kreisläufen und der besonderen Innovationskraft des Mühlviertels erzählt – und mit dem „Mühlschotto“ einen eigenen, zwei Jahre gereiften Schinken produziert. Zwischen Schweinedusche und Sterneküche, Flussbad und Wildkräutern geht es um Menschen, die fest in ihrer Heimat verwurzelt sind und gerade deshalb den Mut haben, Neues auszuprobieren.Eine kulinarische Reise durch ein Oberösterreich, das nicht laut um Aufmerksamkeit wirbt – und gerade damit ziemlich nachhaltig beeindruckt.Links: Hotel & Restaurant Mühltalhof: https://www.muehltalhof.at/ Restaurant Fernruf 7: https://www.fernruf.at/Bio-Hof Steinmayr und Gastwirtschaft Hansberg: https://www.bio-bauernhof.at/ Diese Folge – wie das gesamte Format “Köstliches Österreich” – entstand in Partnerschaft und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von “Österreich Werbung”.=== Über “Köstliches Österreich” ===Frisches Brot aus dem Holzofen im Lesachtal.

Events and private dining have become vital revenue streams for many restaurants, but booking — or just inquiring about — an event can be a clunky and confusing experience. In this episode, we discuss restaurant events and why they're important, how booking works now and how we got here, plus a better model for the future. (Brandon has particularly strong opinions on this one!)

Sie wollen mit neuen Sportformaten den deutschen Markt erobern: NBA-Star Dennis Schröder und Ex-Investor David Fischer. Fischer war einst hochgezahlter Partner beim Wagniskapitalgeber HV Capital, dann verzichtete er auf einen potenziell siebenstelligen Bonus, um mit der Icon League die Fußball-Welt zu erobern. Zusammen mit NBA-Weltmeister Dennis Schröder baut er jetzt auch noch die LGCY Series auf: ein 5-gegen-5-Basketballformat auf einem vollverglasten LED-Court, das schon mit dem ersten Spiel Millionen-Reichweiten erzielte. In dieser Episode blicken wir tief in die Ökonomie hinter Sport-Investments. Dennis Schröder verrät, warum 86 Prozent der NBA-Spieler kurz nach der Karriere pleite sind, wie er selbst seine Millionen anlegt und wieso er lieber in Deutschland als in den USA leben möchte in Zukunft. Außerdem teilt David Fischer, in welche Sportarten er mit seiner Sport-Plattform-Business als nächstes expandieren will – und was ausgerechnet ein Besuch im Bierkönig auf Mallorca mit seinen neuen Business-Plänen zu tun hat.

With the recent news of his passing, this week we look at the remarkable and wide-ranging chess legacy of FM Bill Goichberg. Among many other distinctions, Bill was the founder of the Continental Chess Association and the creator of the U.S. National Scholastic Championships, and he left an indelible mark on the U.S. chess scene. My guest is chess journalist FM Jon Jacobs, who is working on an independent biography of Bill. Jon grew up in New York and got to know Bill personally as a top young scholastic player, with a young Bill Goichberg directing some of his formative tournaments in Brooklyn. Decades later, Bill sat down for 15 hours' worth of interviews with Jon, which Jon has been crafting into a book. In our interview, we discuss Bill's business legacy, chess accomplishments, family life, and much more. Bill changed the course of American chess, and I am grateful to Jon for joining me and fleshing out his life story. 00:00 - Intro and remembering FM Bill Goichberg 0:02- Maurice Ashley tweet regarding Goichberg- https://x.com/MauriceAshley?lang=en06:13 - Jon's first memories of Bill08:14 - How Bill got started organizing tournaments14:16 - Growing chess in the pre-Fischer era18:21 - Bill's proudest contributions to US chess22:54 - Continental Chess and its competitors24:39 - How big a business did CCA become?29:50 - Bill's wife Brenda and their life together35:35 - Bill's beginnings as a chess player39:48 - How strong was Bill as a player?44:07 - Did Bill ever work outside of chess?

In Part 1 of our “Why?” series, we learn that suffering exists despite God’s love because He gives us freedom to choose, but suffering does not mean God has abandoned us, and through Jesus we can have hope in what God has already done and what He promises is still to come. God’s goodness does not vanish the moment life turns painful; it just does not always show up the way we… Source

Im Salzburger Land treffen glitzernde Seen, steile Berge und jahrtausendealte Traditionen aufeinander. Genau das spiegelt sich auch in der Küche wider. In dieser zweiten Folge von „Köstliches Österreich“ folgen Miriam und ihr Freund Fabian den Spuren des Salzes, entdecken Safranfelder mitten in den Alpen und begegnen Menschen, die altes Wissen bewahren und neu interpretieren.Tief unter dem Dürrnberg bei Hallein folgen sie den Spuren des weißen Goldes und erfahren, wie das Salz die Region über Generationen geprägt hat. Außerdem begegnen sie Menschen, die kulinarische Traditionen auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise weiterführen: einem Koch, der Erinnerungen an die Gerichte seiner Kindheit neu interpretiert, einer Familie, die den Safrananbau zurück ins Salzburger Land gebracht hat, und einem „Küchenarchäologen“, der vergessene Rezepte des Alpenraums bewahrt und neu entdeckt.Zwischen Bergwerk, Safranfeld und Herd geht es um die Geschichten hinter den Zutaten. Und darum, wie eng Natur, Geschichte und Genuss im Salzburger Land miteinander verbunden sind.Und hier gibt's Rolands 10-Minuten Kaiserschmarrn-Rezept zum Abspeichern:250 ml Milch3 Eier100 g Weizenmehl5 g SalzAlles verrühren, in Butter goldbraun backen, zerteilen und mit etwas Zucker servieren.Links:Salzwelten Salzburg: https://www.salzwelten.atAaron Priwasser, Aarons Genusskrämerei: https://www.genusskraemerei.at Leoganger Safran: https://www.safran-leogang.at Roland Essl, Alpenkulinarik: https://www.alpenkulinarik.at Diese Folge – wie das gesamte Format „Köstliches Österreich“ – entstand in Partnerschaft und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Österreich Werbung.=== Über “Köstliches Österreich” === Frisches Brot aus dem Holzofen im Lesachtal.

Es herrscht eine doppelte Dürre: Zur geringen Bodenfeuchtigkeit sinken auch die Abflussmengen in Flüssen. Hinzu kommen höhere Temperaturen. Wie sich diese Erwärmung auch auf Meeresströmungen auswirken kann, soll der neue Weltklimabericht zeigen. ETH-Klimatologe Erich Fischer ist einer der Autoren. Mit den schwindenden Gletscher sinken die Pegelstände der Flüsse, mit den höheren Temperaturen trocknen die Böden stärker aus als früher. Deshalb ist die aktuelle Trockenheit nur bedingt vergleichbar mit den historisch Dürren. Der Klimatologe der ETH Zürich forscht zu Extremereignissen und berechnet auch sogenannte Worst-Case-Szenarien – damit sich Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft für die Zukunft wappnen können. Wie kann die Umsetzung dieser Szenarien in Schutzmassnahmen funktionieren? Fischer ist einer der Hauptautoren des Weltklimaberichts. Der nächste wird sich auch mit den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Meeresströmungen beschäftigen. Welche Szenarien sind denkbar, wenn sich die Strömung des Golfstroms verändert? Und wie liesse sich die zunehmende Klimaerwärmung noch aufhalten? Erich Fischer ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.
Your car has a dealership that knows every service it's ever had. Your house - usually the largest asset you'll ever own - has nothing.In this episode, Builder Backed co-founder and CEO Paul Koop joins us to share how his Covington, Kentucky startup is building what he calls the "Carfax for homes": a permanent, portable service record for a house, created from the day it's built.Paul traces the idea back to buying a home built in 1892, then moving four times in five years and losing access to his father-in-law, a lifetime tradesman and the only trusted resource he had. He explains why partnering with homebuilders - starting with Erlanger-based Fischer Homes - gave Builder Backed the clean data and the distribution that home-services aggregators spend fortunes chasing, how a provider-paid model keeps homeowners, trades, and builders aligned, and why the partnership turned out to drive Fischer's sales rather than just improve customer service. He also gets specific about where AI stops: nobody, yet, will let a bot walk them into a $40,000 decision about their house.It's a case study in what happens when a seed-stage founder finds one anchor partner in his own backyard, and a reminder that the Cincinnati region's deep bench of big-company talent is a real startup advantage.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by:KY Innovation → kyinnovation.comAwesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health. Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages. You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause. "PMS is not normal. We should not all be in pain; we should be feeling relatively good most of the time." ~ Izzy Fischer In This Episode: - Izzy's nutrition and entrepreneurship background - Nutrients that women need to optimize hormones - Estrogen and progesterone cycle explained - Core nutrients for women: Iron and vitamins - Why foundational nutrition matters from a young age - How DailyBasis supplements work for women - Testimonials and where to buy DailyBasis supplements Products & Resources Mentioned: DailyBasis Supplements for Women: Get 30% off your first month of Cycle Routine at https://dailybasislife.superfiliate.com/MYERS or use code MYERS at checkout Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-29-26.1885 CHILE STEEL SIDED WARSHIPRebecca Grant and Gordon Chang report China is escalating provocations against the Philippines and Japan, including dangerous maneuvers near Second Thomas Shoal and firing missiles from submarines. Grant highlights the US Navy's preparedness to defend allies, noting a "red line" if Filipino sailors are killed. Despite China's permanent presence, the US maintains dominance through carrier strike groups and superior undersea warfare. The lack of operational officers on China's Central Military Commission suggests potential command risks. (1)Rick Fisher and Gordon Chang discuss reports that China is transferring hundreds of advanced QW-12 and FN-16 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong intermediaries. Fisher warns this poses a significant threat to US aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz. Chang advocates for reimposing sanctions on Hong Kong. The transfer, which China denies, represents a major escalation and highlights China's ongoing role in arming US adversaries like North Korea and Pakistan. (2)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang note Xi Jinping broke tradition by skipping the 50th anniversary of the devastating Tangshan earthquake, sending a surrogate instead. Burton suggests this absence may signal political instability or paranoia regarding his domestic standing. The earthquake historically symbolizes a loss of the "mandate of heaven." Furthermore, vacancies on the Central Military Commission and the mysterious death of former Premier Li Keqiangindicate profound internal disarray and a lack of clear succession. (3)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang discuss how trade tensions and rhetoric from the US have led to increased disdain among Canadians toward their neighbor. Burton discusses a poll showing Canadians view China more favorably than the US due to perceived economic threats from American tariffs. While the integrated North American market remains strong, Canadian provincial governments are reportedly restricting US alcohol sales. There are even suggestions that Canada should adopt "resistance" strategies similar to Ukraine. (4)Evan Ellis reports Keiko Fujimori has been inaugurated as Peru's president, appointing a respected center-right cabinet focused on fiscal discipline and US alignment. However, she faces challenges from endemic insecurity, corruption, and significant Chinese investment. Meanwhile, the influence of Cuba remains a concern across Latin America, with accusations of espionage and interference in democratic processes. Díaz-Canel's regime is under pressure from the Trump administration, potentially facing coercive negotiations or military action. (5)Evan Ellis previews Brazil's upcoming October election, which pits the leftist Lula da Silva against Flavio Bolsonaro, son of the former president. While Lula currently leads in polls, his Workers' Party background and ties to the São Paulo Forum raise concerns about radicalism and increased engagement with China. Ellis warns that a Lula victory could lead Brazil into a recession and a state-centric social policy, potentially settling political scores while lacking necessary financial resources. (6)Evan Ellis surveys shifting political landscapes: Javier Milei is rallying support for the Bolsonaros in Brazil, highlighting a new era of cross-border political interference. In Colombia, President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella is signaling a pro-US shift by cutting ties with Cuba and Nicaragua. Conversely, Venezuela remains in a "holding pattern" under Delcy Rodríguez. Despite reports of crumbling oil infrastructure, major investment is unlikely until a legitimate government is established to address the nation's $240 billion debt. (7)Evan Ellis notes President Claudia Sheinbaum has seen success in reducing homicides and cooperating on border security, but deep-seated corruption persists. The USMCA's future is uncertain, with the Trump administration using ongoing negotiations as leverage. Additionally, China is quietly expanding its presence in Mexico's telecom and automotive sectors. Sheinbaum must navigate a delicate balance: pursuing economic diversification and relationships with China without jeopardizing critical access to the US market. (8)Michael Bernstam reports Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have severely pinched Moscow's fuel production, forcing it to import refined products from India. Bernstam argues that the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have merged into a singular global energy crisis. With critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea threatened, a quarter of the world's oil supply is endangered. As governmental reserves dwindle, the US has become a primary exporter. (9)Michael Bernstam notes official statistics reveal the Russian economy has entered a state of stagnation, with GDP growth at a mere 0.2% for the first half of 2026. While weapons production remains high, the civilian economy—including agriculture and construction—is in recession. Bernstam notes that "perceived inflation" for Russian consumers is roughly 15%, significantly higher than official reports. Reckless interest rate cuts have further invited inflation, signaling a deepening commercial and fiscal crisis. (10)Sadanand Dhume observes that despite having a vast pool of engineers and data, India lags behind the US and China in developing frontier AI models. Dhume discusses the "winner-take-all" fear versus the belief that AI technology will eventually diffuse globally. While the Indian government is investing in semiconductors, many IT sector jobs in coding and back-office support are threatened by automation. The debate continues over whether India can successfully reap benefits without being a front-runner. (11)Sadanand Dhume examines India's "reservations" system, a rigid quota-based affirmative action program facing intense criticism for undermining university competitiveness. Originally intended to redress historical caste-based wrongs, quotas have expanded to cover roughly 60% of medical school seats. Dhume notes that while merit-based systems in Chinaprovide a brutal but efficient benchmark, Indian political parties fear touching the quota system would be "electoral suicide." This policy has entrenched caste identities. (12)General Blaine Holt analyzes reports of China supplying advanced shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong and Pakistan, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Holt explains that while these weapons threaten low-flying aircraft, the supply chain is vulnerable to intelligence interdiction. Holt observes that recent Iranian escalations in Iraq and the Gulf suggest a fragmented leadership in disarray rather than a cohesive strategy. The US and Saudi Arabiaare actively striking Iranian-backed militias. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports that following a narrow election victory, center-right businessman Abelardo de la Espriella faces fierce opposition from outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Petro, a former M19 terrorist, has refused to recognize the results, alleging fraud and foreign interference. De la Espriella plans to take a hard line against illegal armed groups like the ELN and FARC. To build support, he intends to hold his inauguration at a military garrison, signaling a commitment to restoring national security. (14)Bob Zimmerman reports SpaceX's 13th Starship Super Heavy launch was a major success, demonstrating the reliability of Raptor 3 engines and the thermal protection system. Zimmerman highlights the shift toward a "capitalism model," where private companies manage missions for NASA. Meanwhile, a schizophrenic GAO report on NASA's workforce reductions suggests that budget cuts have not significantly impacted major projects, despite agency officials' claims that funding decreases are "disastrous." (15)Bob Zimmerman notes the Deep Space Network facility in Spain narrowly avoided destruction by wildfires, highlighting the fragility of planetary communication nodes. Beyond Earth, astronomers have observed a precipitous drop in star formation within the Andromeda galaxy as it moves toward an eventual collision with the Milky Way. Additionally, NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan faces potential power shortages from its nuclear sources. Despite these risks, commercial space continues to expand into private stations. (16)Corrections applied: Rick Fisher (transcribed as "Fischer" in segment 2 — matching the spelling from your earlier batch), Delcy Rodríguez, Díaz-Canel, and São Paulo Forum with accents. Also standardized "man-pads" to MANPADS and hyphenated the QW-12/FN-16 designations. Stray double commas from the source cleaned throughout.5
