Hoy presentamos un tema único pero que implica la participación de muchos referentes del mundo gastronómico en un entorno inigualable, el MACA en pleno Manantiales. Tuvimos tres invitados, uno de la casa durante muchos años Gabriel Byalistocki que todos tienen presente de su espacio en esta misma radio, “El degustador itinerante”, director del Punta del Este Food & Wine; y dos chefs: Astrid Acuña y Matías Sanjurjo.El evento convocante es el Punta del Este Food & Wine que transformará el próximo 12 de octubre al Museo Atchugarry en un festín de alta gastronomía y vinos premium. La novena edición del evento invita al público a disfrutar de platos exclusivos, vinos de calidad y conversaciones con chefs en un encuentro que combina cocina, cultura y paisaje. Además, en esta edición se reafirma el vínculo entre gastronomía, vino y cultura en un escenario inigualable que acercará al público platos exclusivos y una cuidada selección de bodegas. Este año llegarán a la presentación grandes chefs de Estados Unidos, Brasil, Argentina, Perú y Uruguay, quienes desplegarán su talento cocinando en vivo en el parque de esculturas.  Desde sus inicios, el festival ha reunido más de 10.000 asistentes acumulados y 70 chefs de distintas partes del mundo, convirtiéndose en un acontecimiento de referencia con identidad propia.  Entre ellos destacan Ben Ford del Ford's Filling Station en Los Ángeles, Elia Schramm de Ostería Babbo Río de Janeiro, Manuelle Ferraz de A Baianeira São Paulo, Marcelo Schambeck de Capimcho Porto Alegre, Marcio Ávila de Bistró Pelotense en Pelotas, Nicolás Díaz Rosaenz de Elena Restaurante del Four Seasons Hotel de Buenos Aires y Astrid Acuña de La Mar en Buenos Aires.

En el anfiteatro del parque, se generará una instancia íntima en la que los chefs compartirán sus visiones sobre la cocina, la hospitalidad y los lugares que los inspiran. Además, la consigna se renueva para dar un lugar aún más preferencial al vino dentro de la vivencia gastronómica.  La jornada se extenderá de 13.00 a 17.00 horas y contará con dos modalidades de acceso. La entrada general, con un valor de 200 dólares, incluye almuerzo con degustación libre de platos y vinos, opciones vegetarianas, espacios de sombra y áreas de descanso.

Las entradas pueden adquirirse por RedTickets con beneficios para clientes de Itaú Personal Bank, Platinum y Volar.  A lo largo de sus ocho ediciones anteriores, Punta del Este Food & Wine se consolida como un punto de encuentro esperado por los amantes del buen vivir y una plataforma de conexión entre el universo gastronómico y un público cosmopolita. “Es una plataforma que genera visibilidad como destino gastronómico, mostrando que tenemos todos los recursos para posicionarnos en el sector”, comenta el fundador y director del festival Gabriel Bialystocki. “Por otro lado, introduce una corriente de influencias internacionales al convocar expertos de renombre. Durante la edición 2025 habrá más de 15 chefs interactuando con el producto local en una fusión de estilos y sabores que enriquece la propuesta culinaria del país”.

Send us a MessageIn this Culture Byte episode of Culture Change RX, Capstone's Cofounder & CEO Sue Tetzlaff discusses the critical importance of service excellence in healthcare. She emphasizes that exceptional patient experiences should be safe, satisfying, and consistent across all interactions. Drawing parallels with the hospitality industry, particularly the Grand Hotel, she illustrates how high standards can be achieved through organization-wide commitment, employee engagement and leadership. The conversation also addresses the challenges of variation in service delivery and the need for a standard-dependent culture to ensure that every patient can count on receiving exceptional care.Healthcare should be counted on for exceptional care and service.Service excellence can't be achieved through the efforts of a few standout employees.High standards must be established and embraced organization-wide.Employee-driven efforts are key to achieving service excellence.Variation in service delivery affects the patient experience and the organization's reputation.Capstone helps rural hospitals be the provider- and employer-of-choice to keep care local and margins strong.

In this episode, we're joined by Todd Clements, founder of the Haunts of Mackinac ghost tour company and author of two books on the island's paranormal activity. Todd takes us deep into the legends, local lore, and chilling encounters that make Mackinac one of the most haunted places in the Midwest. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, one thing's for sure: Mackinac Island has more than a few ghosts hiding in plain sight. ABOUT OUR GUEST: When it comes to the hauntings of Mackinac Island, Todd Clements wrote the book on it. Literally, he's written two books on the ghostly side of the island.

In this episode, we're joined by Todd Clements, founder of the Haunts of Mackinac ghost tour company and author of two books on the island's paranormal activity. Todd takes us deep into the legends, local lore, and chilling encounters that make Mackinac one of the most haunted places in the Midwest. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, one thing's for sure: Mackinac Island has more than a few ghosts hiding in plain sight. This is Part Two of our conversation. ABOUT OUR GUEST: When it comes to the hauntings of Mackinac Island, Todd Clements wrote the book on it. Literally, he's written two books on the ghostly side of the island. He also owns the Haunts of Mackinac Island ghost tour company. You can purchase his books, "The Haunts of Mackinac Island" and "The Haunts of Mackinac Island, The Next Chapter," on Amazon.

Thatcher's victories, including a general election landslide and breaking the miners' strike, emboldened her to launch another phase in the reduction of the role of the state in the British economy. Nationalised industries were privatised, with encouragement given to individuals to buy the shares, which they did with enthusiasm. This came on top of the continuing success of council house sales under the ‘Right to Buy' scheme. Extending home and share ownership to far more people, from far more modest backgrounds than ever before, Thatcher claimed, was opening an era of popular capitalism.The reality, however, was more nuanced. Many buyers of shares in privatised companies sold them again, taking a quick profit, because the share price on flotation had been low and it climbed dramatically afterwards. Many owners of former social housing also sold their properties, leading to a large minority ending back again as rentals, but with private landlords not bound by the policy of affordable rents that councils had applied.Similarly, another great initiative of the Thatcher government, the deregulation of the London Stock Exchange, seemed to go brilliantly. London regained its status as a major financial centre. It would only be twenty or so years later that some of the downside emerged, when the encouragement to banks to engage in speculation became a contributing factor to the 2008 crash.The IRA was running a terrorist campaign in Britain too, one that nearly claimed Thatcher's own life, when a bomb was planted in Brighton's Grand Hotel, where she and many leading Tories were staying for the party conference. Thatcher reacted with commendable courage and resolution at the time, and later even went so far to negotiate an Anglo-Irish agreement, again giving the Republic a consultative role in the affairs of Northern Ireland. It didn't go far enough, as the Good Friday agreement would a decade later, but it was an important step,And then there was the Westland affair, when a British helicopter manufacturer ran into difficulties, and a dispute broke out in cabinet over which two options, American or European, to back for a rescue. Ultimately, that led to the Minister of Defence, Michael Heseltine, openly defying Thatcher. That was an ominous event, a first crack in the previously apparently indestructible fortress of support for Thatcher among her colleagues.It was a foretaste of unpleasantness ahead but for the moment that was still quite a way in the future.Illustration: Margaret Thatcher in defiant mood, speaking out against terrorism at the 1984 Conservative Party conference, after the bomb attack on the Grand Hotel in Brighton.

This video shares an interview with Bob Jacquart, former head of Stormy Kromer. He's retired and put time and passion into the project at Copper Peak. Next there are excerpts from a ceremony ahead of the celebration of the next phase for the project at Copper Peak. And finally the countdown and project blast that marked the next phase. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The World's Largest Artificial Ski Jump As you've probably guessed from the title, Copper Peak is the world's largest artificial ski jump. While it hasn't been operating in that capacity since 1994, we're on the way to restoring the jump to its previous glory. In the meantime, visitors love stopping by Copper Peak to go on our Adventure Ride or explore our Mountain Biking Trails. And who can blame them? The Copper Peak upper observation platform provides views at 1,782 feet above sea level and 1,180 feet above Lake Superior, and the trails feature a 600-foot elevation gain over 5.5 miles. Now that's not for the faint of heart! About the Jump The Copper Peak ski jump is made from 300 tons of sturdy COR-TEN steel and boasts a 469-foot cantilevered in run with a 35-degree slope. It's built to withstand even the strongest winds, including speeds of over 190 mph. During windy weather, you may observe a gentle 18-inch sway at the top, but rest assured, there's no cause for concern! The jump sways intentionally as part of its design. A Vision for the Next Two Years Our mission is to redefine Copper Peak as the premier ski jump worldwide, hosting year-round competitions highlighting the breathtaking beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the surrounding region. Our vision is to position the Upper Peninsula as a globally renowned destination for outdoor enthusiasts, inspiring a passion for the area as a distinctive place to live, work, and play while also fostering business growth in the region. How They Plan To Reach This New Adventure Over the past few years, Copper Peak's Adventure Ride has experienced significant growth. Investments have been made in preliminary engineering, geo-tech studies, structural reviews, master planning exercises, and business case development to redevelop the hill to host international competitions. The Copper Peak Organizing Committee, appointed by the full board in 2015, has dedicated considerable time and resources to foster relationships with esteemed organizations such as the International Ski Federation (FIS), the United States Ski Association (USSA), USA Ski Jumping and USA Nordic Combined, as well as influential Michigan legislators and decision-makers. The ultimate objective has been to pave the way for the successful reintroduction of international ski jumping events at Copper Peak. On March 30, 2022, Copper Peak was granted a generous $20 million from the State of Michigan to bring this vision to life. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who played a role in this important investment by the state. A $20 million project for Copper Peak began on Friday with a ceremony. After a resounding boom, the Copper Peak project now begins. The goal of this project is to bring the ski hill to International Ski and Snowboard Federation standards. President of Copper Peak Bob Jacquart said this first phase is focusing on the landing hill. Jacquart says; “We're going to redo the landing hill right now and get it, widen it, change the angle, and eventually pour a concrete slab so that we can have ski jumping in the summer,”
