Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 15, 2025 is: tantalize • TAN-tuh-lyze • verb To tantalize someone is to cause them to feel interest or excitement about something that is very attractive, appealing, etc. // She was tantalized by the prospect of a big promotion. See the entry > Examples: "Craving a culinary adventure? Look no further than Manila Street Treats, nestled within the vibrant Tapatio Produce International Market and Shops building in Elkton. This hidden gem offers a diverse menu of Filipino and international flavors that will tantalize your taste buds." — Chester County Press (Oxford, Pennsylvania), 1 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Pity poor King Tantalus of Lydia. The mythic monarch offended the ancient Greek gods, and was sentenced, according to Homer's Odyssey, to suffer in Hades the following punishment: to stand neck-deep in water, beneath overhanging boughs of a tree heavily laden with ripe, juicy fruit. But though he was always hungry and thirsty, Tantalus could neither drink the water nor eat the fruit: anytime he moved to get them, they would retreat from his reach. Our word tantalize is taken from the name of the eternally tormented king.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 14, 2025 is: nuance • NOO-ahnss • noun A nuance is a very small difference in something, such as color, tone, meaning, etc. // Amy's musical ear makes it easy for her to detect the subtle nuances in sampled music. See the entry > Examples: “Whether it's historians, journalists, anthropologists or poets, those outside our community have attempted to narrate our experiences. But no matter how well intentioned, they cannot fully capture the depth and truth of our story. Why? Because only we can speak with the authority of lived memory, cultural nuance and ancestral knowing.” — Ka Vang, The Minnesota Star Tribune, 1 June 2025 Did you know? The history of nuance starts in Latin with the noun nūbēs, meaning “cloud.” Nūbēs floated into Middle French as nu, also meaning “cloud,” which eventually gave rise to nuer, meaning “to make shades of color.” (The association of a word for “cloud” with gradation of color apparently comes from the perception that an object's color is weakened when mist passes over it.) Nuer in turn produced nuance, which in Middle French meant “shade of color.” English borrowed nuance from French, with the meaning “a subtle distinction or variation,” in the late 18th century. That meaning persists today, but the word has also picked up a few nuances of its own. For example, nuance is sometimes used in a specific musical sense, designating a subtle, expressive variation in a musical performance (such as in tempo, dynamic intensity, or timbre) that is not indicated in the score.

We dive into why quantum field theory still isn't fully understood, despite its experimental success and why a complete axiomatic foundation might not even be possible. Nikita walks us through his solution to the Cyberg-Witten puzzle, the birth of the Nekrasov partition function, and how exotic structures in four dimensions could underlie the chemistry of life. This conversation blends deep math, quantum weirdness, and personal stories from the front lines of discovery. If you've ever wondered what it really means to understand reality, this one's for you.

Send us a textYour words don't just reflect your reality—they create it. A lesson I learned early in my career taught me that saying "I'll try" invites uncertainty, while commitment begins with decisive language. The words we use—especially those that signal doubt or limitation—shape how we think, act, and pursue goals. As we hit the year's midpoint, focus on upgrading your language and watch how it improves your state of being plus welcomes in new opportunities. 3 Key Takeaways:Eliminate uncertain language like “try,” “hope,” and “maybe”—they weaken commitment and action.Watch for self-limiting phrases and negative preambles that reinforce doubt or fear.Rewire your mindset by intentionally choosing words that reflect confidence, clarity, and possibility.Thank you for tuning in!

Send us a textThe Valley Season Two Episode 13 The Cruise From Hell“The Cruise From Hell” lives up to its name as Kristen's engagement trip in Hawaii unravels into chaos. Emotions flare as Brittany, Michelle, Janet, and others clash over who was invited where, who said what, and who's loyal to whom. Kristen wants peace, but drama finds her at every turn—from Brittany leaking her engagement to Jax, to Janet's accusations against Danny escalating into a serious discussion of boundaries and what qualifies as sexual assault.Zack tries to keep the group on track while battling seasickness, Luke's outfit becomes an unexpected highlight, and friendships fracture as past tensions resurface—especially between Kristen, Janet, and Michele. The group's boat ride is anything but relaxing, and by the end, almost no one is on the same page. Even the aftershow adds fuel to the fire, with everyone arguing over what was said, what was heard, and whether Janet is doing more harm than good with her accusations.TakeawaysThe cruise experience was universally disliked due to seasickness and social dynamics.Food expectations on cruises don't meet the standards of those from New Jersey.Character dynamics reveal deeper issues in relationships, especially with Jesse and Kristen.Engagement party drama highlights loyalty and friendship conflicts.Language sensitivity in workplace scenarios is crucial, especially in reality TV.Friendship loyalty is tested when personal relationships are involved.Parenting stories provide a relatable context for the hosts.Confrontations on the show often lead to conflict resolution or escalation.Cheating and relationship dynamics are complex and often justified in context.Celebrity gossip influences public perception and personal relationships.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2025 is: contrite • kun-TRYTE • adjective Contrite is a formal adjective used to describe someone who feels regret for their bad behavior, or something, such as an apology, that shows such regret. // Although the mayor appeared contrite about the most recent scandal plaguing city hall, many constituents remained unpersuaded. See the entry > Examples: “At the restaurant, late into the meal, ‘Honey, Honey,' from the ‘Mamma Mia' soundtrack began to play, with [Amanda] Seyfried's 22-year-old voice issuing through the restaurant's speakers. The waitress came over, contrite. The song was just part of the usual play list. ‘Listen, I love having a stake in pop culture,' Seyfried reassured her. ‘It's really nice.'” — Alexis Soloski, The New York Times, 11 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Props to Elton John: sorry really does seem to be the hardest word. But saying it (in something other than a nonapology, of course) is an important part of being contrite—that is, feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for one's bad behavior. Contrite traces back to the Latin verb conterere, meaning “to pound to pieces,” “to crush, “to wear out or down,” or “to exhaust mentally or physically.” In Medieval Latin—the Latin used in Medieval times especially for religious or literary purposes—conterere came to mean “to crush in spirit with a sense of one's sin,” or “to render contrite.” Anglo-French speakers borrowed a form of the verb conterere and made it the adjective contrit, which was in turn adopted into English in the 1300s.

Episode DescriptionIn this electrifying episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra sits down with transformational speaker, coach, and author Juan Bendana, whose new book Confident by Choice is poised to reshape how we think about courage, action, and self-belief.This conversation dives deep into a liberating truth: confidence isn't a fixed trait—it's a daily decision. Together, Chris and Juan unpack the Confidence Cycle, a four-part science-backed framework (Micro Energy → Micro Courage → Micro Action → Micro Proof) designed to help everyday people break through fear and build an inspired life—one step at a time.But this episode is more than a framework. It's a heart-to-heart about mentorship, identity, failure, and the beauty of baby steps. Juan opens up about battling binge eating, hitting rock bottom, and how a good friend's invitation to California helped him reset his entire life. From the weight of imposter syndrome to the surprising science behind confidence and Olympic achievement, Juan reminds us that we are all capable of change—especially when we stop trying to get it perfect and start moving with purpose.If you've ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure where to begin, this episode is your signal to start. Listen in, take a breath, borrow some belief, and get ready to build the life you know is waiting for you. 10 Quotes from the Episode:“Confidence is not the absence of self-doubt. It's the willingness to act anyway.” – Juan Bendana “The way out is through. And the way through is trust.” – Chris Schembra “Confident people spend more time with self-doubt than less confident people. They just have a better relationship with it.” – Juan Bendana “When something bad happens, most people ask, ‘What's wrong with me?' Confident people ask, ‘What do I do next?'” – Juan Bendana “Energy is the spark. Courage is the ignition. Action is the engine. Proof is the fuel.” – Chris Schembra “You can borrow someone else's confidence. Just try on their life like it's a fresh pair of Jordans.” – Juan Bendana “You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (quoted by Juan) “The people in your life need you more than you think. Build your confidence, then give it away.” – Juan Bendana “Olympians aren't born more confident. They just commit to small steps over time.” – Chris Schembra “I'm not there… yet. That single word creates space for growth, grace, and transformation.” – Juan Bendana 10 Key Takeaways:Confidence is a process, not a personality trait. It's something we build through micro decisions, not something we're born with or without. Micro Energy is the foundation. Whether it's rest, excitement, curiosity, or joy—building momentum starts with finding even the smallest spark. Micro Courage means choosing discomfort on purpose. Confidence grows when we lean into fear, not when we avoid it. Micro Action is where transformation begins. Even walking to the gym without going inside can be a powerful first step. Micro Proof is confidence in motion. Success and failure both offer evidence that we're capable of growth. You don't have to do it alone. Mentorship, community, and borrowed belief are part of the journey. Failure builds confidence when it's reframed. Trying and failing proves you had the courage to show up, and that's enough. Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. It shows you're operating at your edge, where confidence can be forged. Language matters. Swapping “I can't” for “I can't… yet” changes fixed mindsets into growth mindsets. Confidence creates identity shifts. When you accumulate enough proof, you don't just act differently—you become someone new. Suggested Follow-Up Actions for Listeners:Pre-order Juan's book Confident by Choice (link in show notes)—and send it to someone who needs a boost of belief. Do one micro action today toward a goal you've been putting off—send the email, take the walk, make the ask. Reflect and journal: Where in your life are you telling yourself "I'm not enough"? Rewrite that story with "...yet." Send a voice note to a friend or team member with words of confidence. “You're amazing. I'm glad you're here.” Reach out to Juan on LinkedIn and say “You're welcome”—as a callback to the moment he thanked all the strivers listening. Episode Links:

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 12, 2025 is: impunity • im-PYOO-nuh-tee • noun Impunity, usually used in the phrase "with impunity," refers to exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss. // They mistakenly believe that they can break the camp's rules with impunity. See the entry > Examples: "For his part, [artist Adam] Leveille doesn't expect to see his painting again. ... Still, he feels compelled to speak out publicly about what happened and has asked on his Instagram account and on Reddit for anyone with information about the heist, or who might have seen his painting appear somewhere, to come forward. If anything, he just wants to let potential area art thieves know they can't steal from local artists with impunity." — Spencer Buell, The Boston Globe, 1 Feb. 2025 Did you know? Impunity, like the words pain, penal, and punish, traces to the Latin noun poena, meaning "punishment." Poena, in turn, came from the Greek poinē, meaning "payment" or "penalty." Impunity has been around since the 1500s; in 1660, Englishman Roger Coke wrote "This unlimited power of doing anything with impunity, will only beget a confidence in kings of doing what they [desire]." While royals may act with impunity more easily than others, the word impunity can be applied to beings great and small. Take, for example, this 2023 quote from the Sidmouth Herald in England: "The [yew tree] fruits are readily eaten by birds but they do not digest the seeds as they are poisonous. Only one bird, the rare and shy Hawfinch, is able to eat the seeds with impunity."

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 11, 2025 is: rescind • rih-SIND • verb To rescind something, such as a law, contract, agreement, etc., is to end it officially. Rescind can also mean “to take back; to cancel.” // Given the appeal court's recent decision, it is likely that the law will be rescinded. // The company later rescinded its offer. See the entry > Examples: “A state environmental oversight board voted unanimously to rescind a controversial proposal that would have permitted California municipal landfills to accept contaminated soil that is currently required to be dumped at sites specifically designated and approved for hazardous waste.” — Tony Briscoe, The Los Angeles Times, 16 May 2025 Did you know? Rescind and the lesser-known words exscind and prescind all come from the Latin verb scindere, which means “to split, cleave, separate.” Rescind was adapted from its Latin predecessor rescindere in the 16th century, and prescind (from praescindere) and exscind (from exscindere) followed in the next century. Exscind means “to cut off” or “to excise,” and prescind means “to withdraw one's attention,” but of the three borrowings, only rescind established itself as a common English term. Today, rescind is most often heard in contexts having to do with the withdrawal of an offer, award, or privilege, or with invalidation of a law or policy.

Comme toujours, nous commençons notre émission par une conversation sur quelques sujets d'actualité. Notre premier sujet sera consacré à la formation d'un nouveau parti politique aux États-Unis. Que va-t-il apporter aux électeurs ? A-t-il une chance de concurrencer les partis républicain et démocrate ? Notre deuxième discussion portera sur l'enquête dont fait l'objet en Suède une église orthodoxe russe, qui est soupçonnée d'être liée à des opérations d'espionnage russe et à des tactiques de guerre hybride. Ensuite, nous quitterons les thèmes liés à l'actualité mondiale pour parler de science. Nous discuterons d'un livre publié récemment qui indique que l'évolution ne peut pas expliquer l'existence de certaines parties du corps humain. Pour terminer, nous parlerons du célèbre concours de hot-dogs qui a toujours lieu le Jour de l'indépendance des États-Unis.    Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. La leçon de grammaire de la semaine sera : Demonstrative Pronouns. Nous parlerons d'une étude scientifique qui se poursuit dans le parc animalier de Branféré, en Bretagne. Des chercheurs de l'université de Nanterre collaborent avec des musiciens afin d'analyser les réactions de plusieurs espèces animales lorsqu'ils jouent de la musique pour elles. Notre expression cette semaine est prêter main-forte. Elle nous donnera l'occasion d'évoquer l'histoire de l'immigration en France, qui a commencé il y a plus de 150 ans. Nous verrons également quels sont les derniers chiffres en matière d'immigration. - Elon Musk défie Trump en créant un nouveau parti politique - Une église orthodoxe russe fait l'objet d'une enquête pour espionnage en Suède - L'évolution ne peut pas expliquer l'existence de certaines parties du corps humain - Les États-Unis célèbrent la fête de l'Indépendance avec son traditionnel concours de hot-dogs - Trois artistes chantent pour les animaux dans un parc animalier - La France, terre historique d'immigration

Have you noticed people using terms like "unalive" and "pew pews" on social media? There's a reason for that: some people are changing the way they speak on TikTok and other social media platforms to bypass what they think are algorithm blocks. For some users, it's a fun game — but for others, self-censoring certain words is crucial to being able to share their lived experience and get views.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
