Who invented candy? Why is it so sweet? Why does hard candy melt in your mouth? How are candy corn, gummies and nerds made? What makes pop rocks pop? We talk with traditional candy makers at Sticky in California and Hercules Candies in New York about how these sweet treats take their shape. And we get a little reminder about why we can't eat sugar all day, every day.Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 17, 2025 is: kibosh • KYE-bosh • noun Kibosh refers to something that serves as a check or stop. It is usually used in the phrase “put the kibosh on” to mean “to stop or end (something)” or “to prevent (something) from happening or continuing.” // I downloaded an app to help me put the kibosh on my high screen time. See the entry > Examples: “… Maybe, suggests [Graham] Dugoni and other advocates, instead of putting the kibosh on devices entirely, we need to treat modern society like a teenager on a rebellious streak. Rather than saying no, we need to show them support, offer a gentle hand, maybe even make them think it's their idea. In a way, it's time for some gentle parenting.” — Chase DiBenedetto, Mashable, 3 June 2025 Did you know? Evidence of kibosh dates the word to only a few years before Charles Dickens used it in an 1836 sketch, but despite kibosh being relatively young its source is elusive. Claims were once made that it was Yiddish, despite the absence of a plausible Yiddish source. Another hypothesis pointed to the Irish term caidhp bhais, literally, “coif (or cap) of death,” explained as headgear a judge put on when pronouncing a death sentence, or as a covering pulled over the face of a corpse when a coffin was closed. But evidence for any metaphorical use of this phrase in Irish is lacking, and kibosh is not recorded in English as spoken in Ireland until decades after Dickens's use. More recent source theories include a heraldic term for an animal's head when born with only its face fully showing, and an Arabic word meaning “whip, lash,” but as the note at our etymology explains, no theory has sufficient evidence to back it.

In this episode I am once again joined by Alan Chapman, British writer, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Alan reflects on his search for true awakening, compares the spiritual traditions of the West and the East, and questions the liberal ideal of the universal man. Alan presents Merlin as the archetype of the Western adept, asserts theosis to be the true purpose of Christianity, and reveals the language of the birds. Alan also offers advice for those who have had an awakening, discusses Gnosticism and Pragmatic Dharma, and critiques the idea that contemplative neuroscience is the Fourth Turning of Buddhism. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep329-the-western-path-alan-chapman-2 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:46 - Is Alan a book guy? 03:30 - Alan's books 07:07 - Current writing project 10:02 - Insights on Crowley 11:17 - What Alan enjoys reading 13:53 - Eastern vs Western traditions 19:25 - In search of true awakening 21:05 - Cultural and ethnic inheritance 21:57 - Western Buddhism and Sigalow's “American JewBu” 27:04- The Christian revival and theosis 29:02 - Trauma for your own good 31:05 - Becoming a fit vessel 32:48 - The true Western tradition 36:50 - Western vs Eastern awakening 37:37 - Merlin 41:23 - Language of the birds 44:33 - Entering the miraculous 45:56 - How Alan first encountered the language of the birds 54:01 - Transmission and birds as messengers 56:23 - Spirituality beyond states and stages 59:32 - The Liberal ideal of the universal human being 01:02:04 - The end of the WW2 cultural drama 01:03:03 - Perennialism, Traditionalism, and Magia 01:06:28 - Spiritual cultural exchange 01:09:07 - Denying difference 01:10:22 - Gnosticism, alchemy, and Merlin 01:14:09 - Beat Zen, Square Zen 01:15:46 - Misunderstanding foreign traditions 01:19:19 - Traditions fit their own cultures 01:20:29 - Scholasticism 01:23:00 - Pragmatic Dharma 01:24:37 - A need to belong 01:26:08 - Morality and nondual realisation 01:27:07 - The real longing 01:29:51 - Follow the Silent Knowing 01:30:51 - Traditionalism and cultural chauvinism 01:32:28 - Problems with following foreign traditions 01:37:44 - Fetishisation 01:40:35 - Post-awakening advice 01:41:48 - Basic Goodness and Chogyam Trungpa 01:42:58 - Syncretism vs divine inspiration 01:49:35 - Origins of Christianity 01:51:01 - History of ideas vs esoteric transmission 01:57:15 - 4th turning delusion 01:59:24 - Critique of contemplative neuroscience 02:02:13 - The winter of a civilisation … Previous episodes with Alan Chapman:  - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=chapman To find our more about Alan Chapman visit: - https://barbarouswords.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 16, 2025 is: biannual • bye-AN-yuh-wul • adjective Biannual is an adjective used to describe something that happens twice a year, or something that happens every two years. Biannual is always used before the noun it describes. // The art show is a biannual event that won't happen again for two more years. // The group holds biannual meetings in December and July. See the entry > Examples: “About 200 miles of trails make up The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail along Alabama's Gulf coast. These comprehensive trails span both Baldwin and Mobile counties, following the coastline, wetlands, and backwaters—all crucial stopover habitats for migratory birds. Visit in the fall or spring to see part of the beautiful biannual journey for yourself.” — Catherine Jessee, Southern Living, 8 Mar. 2025 Did you know? When we describe something as biannual, we can mean either that it occurs twice a year or that it occurs once every two years. So how does someone know which particular meaning we have in mind? Well, unless we provide them with a contextual clue, they don't. Some people prefer to use semiannual to refer to something that occurs twice a year, reserving biannual for things that occur once every two years. This practice is hardly universal among English speakers, however, and biannual remains a potentially ambiguous word. Fortunately, English also provides us with biennial, a word that specifically refers to something that occurs every two years or that lasts or continues for two years.

En la primera parte del programa discutiremos sobre la actualidad. Comenzaremos con una noticia importante de Oriente Medio. El lunes, un grupo de líderes mundiales firmaron la primera fase del acuerdo de alto el fuego en Gaza durante una cumbre en Egipto, después de que los rehenes israelíes y los prisioneros palestinos fueran liberados. Hay sin duda motivo para celebrar, pero los expertos advierten que quedan importantes problemas por resolver. Continuaremos con el anuncio del Premio Nobel de la Paz. Este año, la ganadora es María Machado, una destacada líder de la oposición venezolana a los Gobiernos de Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro. Aunque aceptó el premio, Machado dedicó el honor en parte al presidente Donald Trump. Discutiremos si esta dedicatoria fue apropiada. En el segmento de ciencia, hablaremos del Índice Mundial de Innovación que acaba de publicar la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual. Uno de los principales titulares del informe es que China ha sustituído a Alemania en la lista de los diez países más innovadores. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa comentando el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Este año, el premio le ha sido concedido al escritor húngaro László Krasznahorkai. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Expressions with Por and Para. En esta conversación hablaremos de las costumbres de los españoles. Aunque cada zona tenga sus costumbres propias, hay rasgos comunes entre todos nosotros,y a ojos de otros europeos pueden parecer curiosas o incluso raras. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, ¡Y un jamón! La usaremos para hablar de protestas ciudadanas ocurridas dentro de los últimos cien años. Veremos las causas que las han provocado, las consecuencias que estas han tenido y cómo han repercutido en la Historia de España.

Send us a textHave you ever noticed that some students struggle to see their progress in an acquisition-driven classroom?When your lessons focus on comprehensible input and communication, progress can feel invisible to students used to “right or wrong” answers. That's why Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) can be such a game-changer.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Claudia Fernández, one of the leading voices on TBLT, about how this approach helps students engage in authentic language use to achieve a real communicative goal.You'll hear strategies for bringing TBLT into your classroom while keeping language acquisition and connection at the heart of instruction.Key TakeawaysA task isn't just an activity. It has a clear communicative outcome that mirrors real-life language use.Authenticity builds motivation. Students feel successful because they accomplish something meaningful.TBLT aligns with CI. It naturally supports acquisition through input, interaction, and purpose.You can adapt it anywhere. From textbook classes to upper levels, TBLT fits any context.Why It MattersTask-Based Language Teaching bridges the gap between knowing about language and using language.It helps students experience the power of communication — not just as practice, but as a purpose.Recommended Resources for Teachers:Bill VanPatten – The Nature of Language and While We're on the TopicMartin East – Foundational Principles of Task-Based Language Teaching (Free online)Daniel O.

UGI Corporation's Global Enterprise Lead, Learning & Development Wendy Laverty shares how “Breakthrough Thinking” is reshaping leadership, structure, and strategy at UGI. She explains how a series of workshops with team members has encouraged intentional reflection, language, and a culture of curiosity that's unlocking new solutions and sustainable change. Show Notes:UGI's Wendy Laverty shares many inspirational and actionable ways to inspire better thinking that leads to sustainable change. Her key points include: Breakthrough Thinking is intentional, not accidental. Leaders at UGI are asking “I wonder why/if/how…” to challenge assumptions, see blind spots, and design new pathways instead of defaulting to past practice.Language shapes outcomes. Words “get caught like colds.” The way leaders speak influences mindsets, behaviors, and results—so UGI is practicing saying the future they intend to create, then aligning actions to it.Structure enables speed. AmeriGas (a UGI company) shifted to a decentralized, pod-based model—returning authority to frontline managers, running weekly problem-solving calls, and using focus groups to surface gaps and improve the system.Trust + feedback fuel change.Transparent, authentic feedback sessions—and a bias toward curiosity over criticism—are building a culture where learning is continuous and leaders model the behavior they want to see.Lead with “both–and” and look ahead to AI-first learning. UGI equips leaders to hold healthy polarities (e.g., candor and diplomacy) and is exploring AI-first learning approaches to personalize development and drive measurable business results. Wendy recommends the following books:Navigating Polarities Using Thinking TransformationLearning RevolutionPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Wie immer ist der erste Teil des Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit einer wichtigen Entwicklung im Nahen Osten. Am Montag unterzeichneten internationale Spitzenpolitiker während eines Gipfeltreffens in Ägypten die erste Phase des Waffenstillstandsabkommens für den Gazastreifen, nachdem israelische Geiseln und palästinensische Gefangene freigelassen worden waren. Es gibt definitiv Grund zum Feiern, aber Experten warnen auch vor bevorstehenden Problemen. Anschließend sprechen wir über die Bekanntgabe des Friedensnobelpreises. Die diesjährige Preisträgerin ist María Corina Machado, eine prominente Führerin der venezolanischen Opposition gegen die Regierungen von Hugo Chávez und Nicolás Maduro. Bei der Entgegennahme der Auszeichnung widmete Machado den Preis zum Teil US-Präsident Donald Trump. Wir werden darüber diskutieren, ob diese Widmung angemessen war. In unserem Segment zu Wissenschaft und Technologie sprechen wir über den Global Innovation Index, der gerade von der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum veröffentlicht wurde. Eine der wichtigsten Schlagzeilen des Berichts ist, dass China Deutschland in der Top-Ten-Liste der Innovationsführer abgelöst hat. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Literaturnobelpreis. In diesem Jahr ging der Preis an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf 2-Way Prepositions. Wir sprechen über Expats, Menschen, die ihr Land verlassen haben, um in Deutschland zu leben. Einige von ihnen haben Deutsch gelernt. Anderen fällt dies schwer, da sie – insbesondere in großen Städten – wenig Gelegenheit haben, ihr Deutsch zu üben, da Gespräche oft auf Englisch stattfinden. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Einen Stein im Brett haben. Wolf Biermann ist eine der Persönlichkeiten, die bei uns einen Stein im Brett haben. Er kämpfte für eine bessere, freiere und menschlichere DDR und sagte sich später ganz vom Kommunismus los. Waffenstillstand im Nahen Osten – Experten warnen jedoch vor Herausforderungen Friedensnobelpreis 2025 für die venezolanische Oppositionsführerin María Corina Machado China löst Deutschland in den Top Ten des Global Innovation Index ab Literaturnobelpreis für den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai Expats in Deutschland Wolf Bierma

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 15, 2025 is: coalesce • koh-uh-LESS • verb To coalesce is to come together to form one group or mass. // The club's community service projects provide students with a common goal to coalesce around. // The movie is full of beautifully written scenes but they never coalesce into a whole. See the entry > Examples: “... as Angola prepares for the final, the combination of personal perseverance, team cohesion, and national pride coalesces into something bigger than a game: a celebration of resilience, dedication, and the enduring spirit of basketball in Angola.” — Sindiswa Mabunda, Forbes, 24 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The meaning of many English words equals the sum of their parts, and coalesce is a fitting example. The word unites the prefix co- (“together”) and the Latin verb alescere, meaning “to grow.” Coalesce is one of a number of English verbs (along with mix, commingle, merge, and amalgamate) that refer to the act of combining parts into a whole. In particular, coalesce usually implies the merging of similar parts to form a cohesive unit, such as a political ideology, a fan-following, or (perish the thought) a Portuguese man-of-war, the body of which includes three types of zooids.

Have you ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of painful relationship almost like you're tuned to a certain frequency that keeps pulling you toward emotionally unavailable partners? In this episode of Language of Love Session, I answer a heartfelt question from Sarah, a listener who wrote in asking: “Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable people, and how can I heal whatever inside me is drawing me to these relationships?”  We explore how the energy you carry, your vibration, and your earliest experiences all play a role in who you're drawn to and why. I also share how healing practices like somatic experiencing and Internal Family Systems therapy can help shift your frequency so you attract partners who are truly capable of love and connection. We explore: Why emotionally unavailable partners feel so familiar (and why it's not just “bad luck”) How childhood patterns set the vibration for the partners we're drawn to later in life Ways somatic therapy helps release unconscious patterns stored in the body How Internal Family Systems therapy rewires your inner world for healthier love Why “butterflies” aren't always passion, they may be your nervous system picking up on an old, unhealthy frequency This is all about learning how to change your vibration so you stop repeating painful cycles and open yourself up to safe, supportive love.
