International Flavors & Fragrances master perfumer Stephen Nicoll talks about a side of the fragrance industry that doesn't get a lot of publicity: scenting household products. He explains how he creates fragrances for fabric detergents, cleaning sprays, and dryer sheets; what encapsulating a scent does for its longevity; why Americans like the smell of apple pie; which aromas connote cleanliness around the world; and why people enjoy the “hot metal” scent that gets released during ironing. This podcast has a new intro, and the interview originally aired in 2019. We'll be back on Wednesday with all-new content!Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/stephen-nicollProducts mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/901714Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlin + contributors @garrettmunce, @missjuleeSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 or email info@fatmascara.com Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

In our latest episode, we chat with Renee Henze, the Chief Sustainability Officer at IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances). Renee highlights the powerful intersection of work and personal passion. She describes her journey into sustainability as an unexpected opportunity to combine her professional expertise with her deep commitment to the environment. For example, she recounted her role at DuPont, where she was involved in creating sustainable practices for salmon farming. This role allowed her to pursue her passion for environmental sustainability while driving innovation in the industry.

She emphasizes the importance of relying on data and customer-driven needs to advocate for change effectively. By understanding market dynamics and being adaptable, she has led her teams through significant transformations. Renee underscores the importance of empathy in leadership. She explains that focusing on the needs at every level of the business and bringing empathy into leadership makes one more effective.

He hosts the popular podcast “Flavors Unknown”, featuring a series of conversations with acclaimed and award-winning chefs, pastry chefs, and mixologists from around the United States. I talked to Emmanuel about the influence of his family and French culture on his career path and love for food. He explained how immigration not only shapes America's food landscape but also how food serves as a bridge between a chef's birth country and their adopted home. We finished up this conversation with Emmanuel giving four different ways to incorporate international flavors into your home cooking - it's easier than you think!

New Orleans is a melting pot of cultures, music, and – of course – food. On this week's show, we explore some international flavors found in our own backyard. We begin with Merritt Coscia and Tyler Stuart of Plume Algiers. Although neither of the American-born-and-bred pair have any Indian heritage in their backgrounds, they became captivated by the culture and flavors of India when traveling across the subcontinent. The couple's passion for regional Indian cuisine is on display at their restaurant Plume Algiers on New Orleans' Westbank. Merritt and Tyler join us in the studio to talk about their restaurant and the travels that inspired it. Passion is certainly the driver behind Abigayle Rhode-Pausina's work. The New Orleans native has taken her cultural exploration to Lebanon and beyond, but has most recently concentrated her efforts on the Lebanese and Syrian families who have called the Crescent City home for generations. We sit down with Abigayle to discuss her new exhibit at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum called "A Syrian-Lebanese American Kitchen." Finally, Chinese food continues to be a favorite both locally and across America. In her food blog, Omnivore's Cookbook, Maggie Zhu writes about modern Chinese cooking, Asian-inspired dishes, and classic recipes designed for the Western home chef. For her first cookbook, "Chinese Homestyle," Maggie narrows her focus to plant-based dishes. She speaks with us about the book and shares some tips that are as simple as they are delicious.

Contract talks covering hundreds of thousands of UPS workers broke down on Wednesday and Teamsters are now staging practice pickets across the country; on The Upsurge podcast, we find out where UPS fits into the Logistics Revolution in global capitalism and what it might mean for building worker power. Next, we go to San Francisco, where Work Week Radio reports on a rally that united taxi drivers, Uber and Lyft drivers; they're all worried about robot taxi cabs, which they warn pose a threat to safety and jobs. Memphis is our next stop, as workers at IFF, International Flavors and Fragrances, talk to the BCTGM Voices Project about why they've been on strike since June 4. BCTGM Voices is the podcast from the Bakery Workers union. Your email inbox is probably crammed with messages asking you to sign an online petition, write a letter or show up at an event. Does it really matter? On the Working to Live In Southwest Washington podcast, we find out how messages like these helped save jobs at Clark College, and why the smallest actions can make a BIG difference.

Graduating from Stanford, she worked in M&A at Goldman Sachs, followed by a year running marketing for International Flavors & Fragrances in Paris. After getting her MBA at Harvard Business School, she worked for Lew Frankfort at Coach for seven years, where she earned her stripes as a “merchant” and an “operator” and held numerous leadership positions including the successful re-launch of Mark Cross, the American luxury goods brand. Stephanie then co-founded http://goto.com/ (GoTo.com) in 1998 (later Overture), one of the first hugely successful Internet companies, where they invented the “Paid Search” business model that today powers Google, taking the company public one year after launch and growing it to ~$1 billion in revenue in four years before selling it to Yahoo for $1.6 billion in 2003. A serial entrepreneur and start-up investor, Stephanie is most recently the co-founder and CEO of 1 Atelier, the transformational direct-to-consumer custom luxury brand that celebrates originality and is bringing the joy and fun back into luxury. Clients design their one-of-a-kind bags at http://1atelier.com/ (1Atelier.com); each product is then meticulously handcrafted from the finest leathers at their NYC Atelier and delivered within 21 days. As the only natively custom luxury brand, 1 Atelier is also the only inherently sustainable luxury brand. Raw materials are brought in just-in-time and production is done on-demand. This eliminates over-production which is the major source of the 13 million tons of waste generated annually by the fashion industry. Given their unique custom production platform and their proprietary customization technology, 1 Atelier is on course to up-end the luxury goods industry. -- CONNECT WITH THE WILD FEATHER -- Website: https://www.thewildfeatherpodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewildfeatherpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewildfeather_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewildfeatherpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewildfeatherpodcast

his is Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Here is the news.Police have smashed a major human trafficking ring and rescued 36 children who were abducted to be sold.Police in east China&`&s Fujian Province received information in May about a suspect surnamed Tan who was believed to be involved in child trafficking.Further investigations found a major child trafficking ring spanning seven provinces and municipalities. Tan and other suspects were found to be responsible for the trafficking of dozens of infants since 2014.In another case, police in several other provinces coordinated their efforts to crack down on another child trafficking ring, and 160 people were arrested. The Ministry of Public Security said China has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to the trafficking of women and children, and it will continue to pursue these traffickers.The ministry will also target the "buyers" in human trafficking cases.This is Special English.China has issued a guideline on improving work safety, seeking to plug the holes in its supervision mechanism, laws and safety standards to effectively prevent accidents.It has vowed to optimize its supervision and management mechanism as well as laws and regulations to "significantly" reduce workplace accidents by 2020.The guideline was jointly issued by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. It said China will not sacrifice safety for development.The guideline has clarified the definition and division of responsibilities concerning workplace safety. Meanwhile, China has plans to amend its criminal law to include workplace malpractices that easily lead to major accidents.It noted the country will increase financial input to enhance workplace risk control and prevent work-related illness, while improving management and auditing to make sure the money would be wisely spent.It said China&`&s work safety has been improving, but more efforts are needed as many problems remain.The guideline came after a series of deadly accidents, including mining disasters and power plant collapse. In one of the accidents in November, 74 people were killed when a platform for a cooling tower being constructed as part of a power plant collapsed in east China&`&s Jiangxi Province. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing.Scientists claimed they have figured out how the world&`&s biggest and most-valuable diamonds formed.In a study published in the U.S. journal of Science, scientists said large gem-quality diamonds, including the world-famous Cullinan and Lesotho Promise, may be born in metallic liquid deep inside Earth&`&s mantle.The research team, led by Evan Smith of the Gemological Institute of America, reached the conclusion after examining so-called "offcuts" of massive diamonds, which are the pieces left over after the gem&`&s facets are cut for maximum sparkle.They found tiny metallic grains trapped inside in more than 30 exceptionally large stones, which are made up of a mixture of metallic iron and nickel, along with carbon, sulfur, methane and hydrogen.The inclusions led the researchers to reach the conclusion that diamonds formed in the Earth&`&s mantle, but they did so under conditions in which they were saturated by liquid metal.Most diamonds formed at depths of 150 to 200 kilometers under the continents and shoot to the surface in volcanic eruptions. But the large, rare stones formed at extreme depths, likely within 360 to 750 kilometers in the convection mantle, where rocks are known to be mobile.This is Special English.U.S. researchers have taken inspiration from the human brain in creating a new "deep learning" method that enables computers to teach themselves about the visual world largely on their own, much as human babies do.In the test, the new image-processing system "deep rendering mixture model" can learn largely on their own about how to distinguish handwritten digits using a standard data-set of 10,000 digits written by federal employees and high school students. In results, the researchers said they trained their algorithm by giving it just 10 correct examples of each handwritten digit between zero and nine and then presenting it with several thousand more examples that it used to further teach itself.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing.The world&`&s first cloned goat bearing superfine cashmere wool was born in north China&`&s Inner Mongolia.The goat was born and is raised in a base for animal husbandry research conducted by experts from agricultural universities and academies in Inner Mongolia and southwest China&`&s Yunnan Province.The cashmere fiber from the goat is less than 14 micrometers thick, much finer than the average of 16 micrometers grown by the famous Erlang Mountain goats in Inner Mongolia. This is Special English.Every day, trains full of laptops and other electronics products as well as auto parts depart a remote village in southwest China heading for Europe.For five years, trains have delivered laptops for Hewlett-Packard, car window regulators and semi-conductors, from Chongqing Municipality to Europe.Since the trains started in 2011, there has been a business boom in the mountain city. It imported more than 2,000 cars on the international rail network in the past two years.Six years ago, the city was struggling to attract businesses which mostly centered on China&`&s coastal areas where there are convenient shipping.With the launch of the trains, the city got more deals because train transport costs only around one-fifth of air transport, and one-third faster than shipping by the sea.As prices along the eastern seaboard rose, industries began to move inland. In 2010 Hewlett-Packard established a computer production line in Chongqing, seeking government help to launch a rail network to transport products overseas. That was when the China-Europe rail network was launched.Following the footsteps of Hewlett-Packard, other brands including Acer, Toshiba and Apple set up bases in Chongqing to take advantage of the rail line.You&`&re listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.When it comes to surgical procedures to enhance beauty, Chinese women are twice as generous than their global peers.According a report based on a survey by Insightful Engineers, a market research consultancy in the United Kingdom, the survey found that Chinese women spent the equivalent of around 580 yuan, roughly 84 U.S. Dollars, per month. That&`&s more than twice the global average of about 250 yuan, and 150 yuan higher than the second group on the list, women from South Korea.A plastic surgeon from Shanghai said Chinese women are displaying an increasing interest in a range of surgical procedures, mainly to look prettier, rather than fighting aging, which may help explain why the population of plastic surgery receivers in the country is much younger than in other places.The report also said that 74 percent of Chinese respondents associate beauty directly with facial appearance, the highest of all surveyed countries. The biggest concern for Chinese women is flabby skin and crow&`&s feet, the little wrinkles at the corner of the eyes.The survey interviewed 7,700 "aesthetically aware" women from 16 countries, who were between 18 and 65 years of age.This is Special English.Paris&`& first perfume museum, the Grand Musee de Parfum, has opened its doors, inviting visitors to discover perfume history through a quite innovative sensory and olfactory exhibition.The museum&`&s president said the Grand Musee du Parfum was created after noting the absence of an emblematic place for French perfumery in Paris despite the sector&`&s flourishing influence abroad.The museum gathered major players in French and international perfume industry, including the Federation of Beauty Enterprises, the French Syndicate of Perfumery and the International Flavors and Fragrances.It has three spaces with one area dedicated to the history of perfumes.Alongside the permanent exhibition, many events and workshops for young people are planned at the museum and intend to bring together the visual arts, gastronomy, live entertainment, literature and cinema around perfume.France has the world&`&s leading cosmetics-perfumes sector and its turnover totaled 25 billion euros, roughly 26 billion U.S. Dollars, in 2014. You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing.British actor Colin Firth dwells on the virtue of restraint in a wide-ranging conversation with Raymond Zhou on the art of acting. Colin Firth joked that he was looking for offers in Chinese films, adding that he hoped to work with Chinese directors including Zhang Yimou.The light-hearted revelation came at the end of an hourlong talk, moderated by yours truly, which was designed to encompass the highlights of an illustrious career of the much honored British actor.Titled "A Colin Firth Retrospective", the conversation was, in turn, part of a program for the 2016 China-Briton Film Festival held in the Beijing suburb of Langfang.Firth received a lifetime-achievement award at this festival when it opened on Dec 12.The 2010 Academy Award winner for best actor, for The King&`&s Speech, did not randomly pick a few big names from China&`&s booming film industry to please the host country. But he did his due diligence.Firth said he was impressed by how seamlessly American actors Tim Robbins and Adrien Brody fitted into the epic tale on the 1942 famine. He also liked the 2012 movie Mystery, and said Farewell My Concubine was one of the best movies in world of cinema.And he was plugged in to the latest in Chinese showbiz, aware of the publicity blitz whipped up by The Great Wall, the epic tale of fighting monsters on the best-known Chinese landmark, which is a Sino-US co-production that stars Matt Damon.This is Special English.China&`&s northernmost province of Heilongjiang will hold an "Ice and Snow Day" to warm up its winter tourism industry and sluggish economy.The provincial legislature adopted a decision to hold the event on Dec. 20 each year, starting this year. State-owned winter sports facilities will be open to the public for free during these event.Travel agencies and key scenic spots will offer discounted tickets to tourists on Ice and Snow Day.The province&`&s bitter winter, which lasts 120 days, used to be an obstacle to the area&`&s development. However, Heilongjiang has taken measures to turn the cold, snowy season into a resource to boost its economy, which has slowed in recent years amid the country&`&s economic restructuring.The "Ice and Snow Day" will make more people to enjoy ice and snow, creating a favorable environment for developing the winter economy and tourism.This is Special English.The Maldives tourism industry has seen a remarkable growth in 2016, contributing to strengthening the island&`&s economy.A press statement by the Maldives Embassy in Colombo said the growth has been achieved with the dynamic economic policies introduced by the country to transform the economy of the Maldives.This year, the Maldives unveiled seven new resorts, featuring the world&`&s largest underwater restaurant.The government said 20 new resorts will be unveiled in 2017.With the opening of the new resorts and influx of tourism investments, the tourism industry has become a catalyst for the governments&`& key pledge of youth employment.That is the end of this edition of Special English.

But the large, rare stones formed at extreme depths, likely within 360 to 750 kilometers in the convection mantle, where rocks are known to be mobile.This is Special English.U.S. researchers have taken inspiration from the human brain in creating a new "deep learning" method that enables computers to teach themselves about the visual world largely on their own, much as human babies do.In the test, the new image-processing system "deep rendering mixture model" can learn largely on their own about how to distinguish handwritten digits using a standard data-set of 10,000 digits written by federal employees and high school students. In results, the researchers said they trained their algorithm by giving it just 10 correct examples of each handwritten digit between zero and nine and then presenting it with several thousand more examples that it used to further teach itself.You&`&re listening to Special English.

This is Special English.Every day, trains full of laptops and other electronics products as well as auto parts depart a remote village in southwest China heading for Europe.For five years, trains have delivered laptops for Hewlett-Packard, car window regulators and semi-conductors, from Chongqing Municipality to Europe.Since the trains started in 2011, there has been a business boom in the mountain city. It imported more than 2,000 cars on the international rail network in the past two years.Six years ago, the city was struggling to attract businesses which mostly centered on China&`&s coastal areas where there are convenient shipping.With the launch of the trains, the city got more deals because train transport costs only around one-fifth of air transport, and one-third faster than shipping by the sea.As prices along the eastern seaboard rose, industries began to move inland. In 2010 Hewlett-Packard established a computer production line in Chongqing, seeking government help to launch a rail network to transport products overseas. That was when the China-Europe rail network was launched.Following the footsteps of Hewlett-Packard, other brands including Acer, Toshiba and Apple set up bases in Chongqing to take advantage of the rail line.You&`&re listening to Special English.

That&`&s more than twice the global average of about 250 yuan, and 150 yuan higher than the second group on the list, women from South Korea.A plastic surgeon from Shanghai said Chinese women are displaying an increasing interest in a range of surgical procedures, mainly to look prettier, rather than fighting aging, which may help explain why the population of plastic surgery receivers in the country is much younger than in other places.The report also said that 74 percent of Chinese respondents associate beauty directly with facial appearance, the highest of all surveyed countries. The biggest concern for Chinese women is flabby skin and crow&`&s feet, the little wrinkles at the corner of the eyes.The survey interviewed 7,700 "aesthetically aware" women from 16 countries, who were between 18 and 65 years of age.This is Special English.Paris&`& first perfume museum, the Grand Musee de Parfum, has opened its doors, inviting visitors to discover perfume history through a quite innovative sensory and olfactory exhibition.The museum&`&s president said the Grand Musee du Parfum was created after noting the absence of an emblematic place for French perfumery in Paris despite the sector&`&s flourishing influence abroad.The museum gathered major players in French and international perfume industry, including the Federation of Beauty Enterprises, the French Syndicate of Perfumery and the International Flavors and Fragrances.It has three spaces with one area dedicated to the history of perfumes.Alongside the permanent exhibition, many events and workshops for young people are planned at the museum and intend to bring together the visual arts, gastronomy, live entertainment, literature and cinema around perfume.France has the world&`&s leading cosmetics-perfumes sector and its turnover totaled 25 billion euros, roughly 26 billion U.S. Dollars, in 2014.

A HUGE thank you to Adam from EHAP - Everyone Has a Podcast for designing our new cover art! Little Man has never looked classier! No matter what you call it, soda, pop or Coke is a favorite beverage with a fascinating history. From pharmacist "dudes" to Billy Joel, soft drinks have become ubiquitous in American culture and around the world. This episode's wine: Mouton Noir's O.P.P. This episode's cheese: Delice de Bourgogne We start off this week's show doing our own Pepsi Challenge, administered by Kitty, and James and Emily prove they are definite Coke heads (Coca-Cola, not cocaine)! But, we shout out to the ONE person we could find who actually prefers Pepsi: John of The Just John Podcast! Find out why the Pepsi Challenge is actually flawed and how the Challenge led to one of the biggest mistakes of the '80s: New Coke. Find out more about New Coke in this Snopes.com article. James gives us the history of the inventor of Coca-Cola and the rise of the most iconic soda in the world. And we talk about the different names around the United States for what we Connecticutians call "soda." (We also prove throughout the episode that our state is just filled with condescending jerks -- or, at least two who host a podcast.) Explore the different flavors of soda from around the world, and, lucky us, we get to hear Emily's Peggy Hill-Spanish accent. And, if you're eating or drinking anything, we suggest you finish it or put it down before Emily gets to the last flavor on the list. All of these make Emily's preference for Diet Mountain Dew sound delicious! Dr Pepper, despite Emily's mom telling her it was carbonated prune juice, is pretty hard to pinpoint the origin or even the flavors in it. We also require our sodas to have a PhD! And we discuss potentially trying Hot Dr Pepper. Emily goes on a little rant about how terrible root beer is. So, of course, she decided to research it. And, lo and behold, after looking up the original flavors, she now hates it more than she originally did. Even though James promised us he wouldn't make us feel bad about consumerism, he finds a way to do it! (But, we can always make James feel bad about his pronunciation.) He doesn't stop at soda, we also give you some guilt about rum and maybe rainbows!
