Poire...", hésita-t-il.En: "Uh, yes, the secret ingredient for the tart of your dreams... Pear...", he hesitated.Fr: Mais sa confusion s'était déjà trahie.En: But his confusion had already betrayed him.Fr: "Tu ne veux pas dire 'la tarte aux figues'?"En: "Don't you mean 'the fig tart'?"Fr: suggéra-t-elle avec un petit rire.En: she suggested with a little laugh.Fr: "Sûrement", avoua Lucien, rougissant un peu.En: "Surely," Lucien admitted, blushing a bit.Fr: Conscient de sa méconnaissance du marché, il se gratta la tête, un peu gêné.En: Aware of his unfamiliarity with the market, he scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.Fr: Il hésita un instant, puis prit son téléphone.En: He hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone.Fr: "Permets-moi de demander à Émile de nous rejoindre.En: "Let me ask Émile to join us.Fr: Il connaît sûrement mieux cet endroit."En: He surely knows this place better."Fr: Coralie, bien que surprenante, apprécia l'honnêteté de Lucien.En: Coralie, though surprised, appreciated Lucien's honesty.Fr: Ces moments d'hésitation montraient qu'il ne portait pas de masque de fausse perfection.En: These moments of hesitation showed that he didn't wear a mask of false perfection.Fr: En attendant Émile, ils continuèrent à discuter.En: While waiting for Émile, they continued to chat.Fr: Peu après, Émile arriva, son visage lumineux et accueillant.En: Shortly after, Émile arrived, his face bright and welcoming.Fr: "Bonjour, mes amis !En: "Hello, my friends!Fr: Vous avez besoin d'un guide culinaire ?"En: Do you need a culinary guide?"Fr: blagua-t-il avec un clin d'œil.En: he joked with a wink.Fr: Avec l'aide d'Émile, ils trouvèrent facilement toutes les denrées nécessaires.En: With Émile's help, they easily found all the necessary groceries.Fr: Il avait un talent pour débusquer la crème de la crème du marché.En: He had a knack for spotting the market's crème de la crème.Fr: Lucien se détendit, riant aux blagues d'Émile, et Coralie perçut une connexion sincère entre eux trois.En: Lucien relaxed, laughing at Émile's jokes, and Coralie sensed a genuine connection between the three of them.Fr: De retour chez Lucien, la cuisine devint leur terrain de jeux.En: Back at Lucien's place, the kitchen became their playground.Fr: Ils épluchèrent, coupèrent et dégustèrent.En: They peeled, chopped, and tasted.Fr: En partageant ce moment, Lucien et Coralie se rapprochèrent.En: By sharing this moment, Lucien and Coralie grew closer.Fr: Leur repas, même débutant, avait un goût d'aventure et d'authenticité.En: Their meal, even though amateur, had a taste of adventure and authenticity.Fr: "Merci, Lucien", dit Coralie doucement, tandis que le crépuscule s'installait, "C'était une journée merveilleuse."En: "Thank you, Lucien," said Coralie softly, as dusk settled in, "It was a wonderful day."Fr: Lucien, soulagé, répondit simplement : "À refaire."En: Lucien, relieved, simply replied: "Let's do it again."Fr: Ainsi, sous le ciel étoilé de Paris, ils découvrirent qu'une simple promenade au marché pouvait ouvrir la voie à quelque chose de beaucoup plus enrichissant.En: Thus, under the starry Parisian sky, they discovered that a simple stroll at the market could open the way to something much more rewarding.

In this episode of #TheShot of Digital Health Therapy, Jim Joyce and I sit down with Jonathan Anderson, CEO of Nothing Artificial. Thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting and chatting across numerous topics: -The Door-to-Door Sales Rule: What Jon learned in his early days of selling home water systems to households (Hint: make sure all the decision makers are present at once) -The Enterprise Arbitrage: How Jon acquired UCB Pharma's FDA-registered Nile.ai platform turning enterprise infrastructure into a commercial launchpad. -The DTx Graveyard Realist: Why Akili and Pear struggled, and why digital therapeutics must shift from standalone "disease apps" to cognitive infrastructure embedded directly into pharma pipelines and everyday hardware. -Economic Inevitability vs. Hype: Why health systems don't adopt tech because it's novel or slick - they adopt when friction drops to zero and the business model becomes mathematically unavoidable.

In this episode of Business Brain, you’ll learn why the smartest marketing move is to get out of your own spotlight and put your customers there instead. Shannon and Dave break down how making your clients the heroes of your story—showing what they built, how they succeeded, how their lives changed—beats any “me, me, me” pitch every time. You’ll hear why the hero section of your website should feature your customers, not your team, and why saying something genuinely nice about your competition costs nothing while buying you trust, clarity on your own differentiator, and an escape from the race-to-the-bottom trap of competing on price. Remember: you’re a monopoly of one, and your only real competitor is yourself. Then things get delightfully weird when Dave floats a “urinal inspiration” business idea: a Tinder competitor with built-in reviews. You’ll follow the whole workshop live—star ratings, retaliatory-review pitfalls borrowed from Airbnb and eBay, and the discovery that apps like Skip, Pear, and Oyster already exist. It’s part cautionary Black Mirror tale, part real market lesson in knowing exactly what your product is for. Apply the customers-as-heroes blueprint, keep your mindset abundant, and you’ll be well on your way to living the Charmed Life your business was meant to give you. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #774 for Wednesday, July 29, 2026 July 29th: National Chicken Wing Day 00:01:07 Make Your Customers Heroes It costs nothing to help lift and highlight your customers *or* your competitors A compliment costs nothing, and often buys you a lot Abundance vs. Scarcity mindsets 00:9:25 SPONSOR: Shopify: Own your customer relationships.

They should have pinch hit for Gilbert. The brothers react to unsurprisingly bad baseball played in Kansas City. Wily Adames goes from hero to zero in a single brain fart, Tony Vitello makes two elementary mistakes in a single game, and the dumpster fire that is the bullpen rages after a stupid umpire add lighter fluid. Then the boys discuss the unlikely possibility of Tony Vitello being a single year manager. How could that possibly happen? On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Ben is a Bard while Matthew is drinking a Fall Wedding. Recipes below. Ben is a Bard1 oz Gin1 oz D.O.M.

You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his way back with forest time, breathwork, meditation, clean food, and real sleep instead of a prescription. This isn't really a surfing video, it's about the same fear that keeps you from a hard conversation, a new business, or a decision you've been avoiding, and how getting clear lets you finally see through it.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek requests Federal Disaster Designation for pear growers in the Columbia River Gorge, and America's farmland continues to face pressure from development and ownership changes.

A bill to bring grizzly bears back to California moves forward. Some help for livestock producers who lose animals to wolves. One of the worst years in memory for fire blight in pears. Finally, some promising news for pear farmers. 

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek asked for a federal disaster designation for pear growers in the Columbia River Gorge to assist with severe crop losses, but her opponent in the Governor's race says that's not enough.

Dan doesn't usually replay past episodes, but this is one that deserves another look.While Dan is on the road this week, he's bringing back an important conversation with Chris Zanobini of the California Pear Advisory Board, originally recorded this past April. Now that California pear season is in full swing and the challenges discussed in this interview still persist, we felt it was important to bring this conversation back to the forefront and raise even more awareness.This week on Fresh From The Field Fridays...Dan is joined by Chris Zanobini from the California Pear Advisory Board.They're digging into what's really going on with imported pears flooding the market just as California pears, especially Bartletts, are coming into season. The discussion also explores the use of 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), a postharvest treatment used on some imported pears to slow ripening and extend storage life. In contrast, California pear growers have chosen not to use 1-MCP, believing consumers deserve the naturally ripened, sweet, juicy eating experience California Bartlett pears are known for.You'll hear what this means for California growers, what you're seeing at retail, and why it matters more than most people realize.They also discuss how the produce industry, retailers, and consumers can all be part of the solution.Fresh From The Field Fridays is brought to you by The Produce Industry Network and AgLife Media.Check out aglifemedia.com today.

This year's first U.S.-grown pears are shipping to retailers and canneries as the season kicks off in California, and USDA is launching a pilot program designed to modernize crop acreage reporting by replacing paper maps with electronic reporting.

We'll check on the pear crop and why you should look for California fresh pears. Certified Crop Advisors helping farmers on and off the field. The USDA is cracking down on state errors in their food assistance programs costing taxpayers billions.  

Missoula has a reputation for attracting all kinds of wayward characters, but it's likely never hosted the driver of a pear on wheels — yes, we're talking about the fruit. That changed in June with the arrival of a social media celebrity on a road trip for the ages.

In this episode of Thinking Tackle Uncut, Neil Spooner tells the full story behind landing the 67lb UK common that stunned everyone. From a last-minute invite to Waterside from the guys at Cypography, a simple Solid Bag approach, and not even realising what he'd hooked until it was in the net, it's a capture he'll never forget.Alongside the celebrations, the lads catch up on recent sessions, Germany trips, river fishing, and why simple tactics still catch the biggest carp.

Ever wondered what happens when a giant pear-shaped car/motocycle breaks down in Missoula? This week on The Trail Lunchbox, Tommy sits down with "Glubbey" (Andrew), the artist and creator behind the viral Pear Car that's been turning heads across the country.Traveling from Florida to Seattle, Glubbey shares how a mechanical breakdown near Bonner unexpectedly led him to Missoula and introduced him to a community eager to help him get back on the road. Hear the story behind building the Pear Car, his passion for creating one-of-a-kind sculpture vehicles, life on the road, and the kindness he's experienced from strangers along the way.Plus, stick around for one of the most entertaining segments yet as Glubbey takes on the Trail 103.3 "Rate the Fruit" challenge to determine the ultimate fruit champion... will it be a pear? Who knows.Follow Glubbey's journey on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @glubbey or @andrew_glubbey and see where the Pear Car rolls next.

In the fifth 15-minute section of our screenplay, Napoleon's journey takes a sharp, downward turn. Success is replaced by mounting setbacks as our hero heads to Egypt - an ambiguous mission that isolates him from power and allies. The Directory's antagonism grows ever more apparent, Josephine's betrayals come to light, and disaster strikes in the form of Nelson's fleet. As loyalty in his own ranks falters, Napoleon faces not only external foes but the erosion of his own myth, setting the stage for the looming low point of his story.In episode six of our screenwriting escapade we continue to forge ahead in our mission of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have to come up with the magic themselves.This episode features a bonus contribution from our own Prof Alexander Mikaberidze from 35:40 - explaining the precise nature of the incontrovertible evidence of Josephine's infidelity which Junot is supposed to have presented to Bonaparte... As our resident bot NAIpoleon Bot-aparte puts it:A Playful Opening and Format Mash-UpThe episode begins with a tongue-in-cheek parody intro as “Cavalry Matters,” poking fun at historical drama tropes and AI-generated content, before moving into the “Napoleon movie” project focus 00:00:09.Introduction of the Team and Their RolesAlex Stevenson introduces the project collaborators: Benjamin Deery (acting expertise) and James Topham (screenwriting expertise). The trio set out to reimagine Napoleon's story for the screen 00:01:26.Recap and Structure So FarJames Topham recaps their progress, summarizing the story up to scene 20—the film's midpoint. He details five key scenes depicting Napoleon's transition from general to budding ruler and the dynamic with Josephine 00:03:14.Dramatic and Character DevelopmentsThe team walk through significant scenes involving military victories, shifting romantic dynamics (including Napoleon's changing feelings for Josephine), negotiations, and turning points, such as Josephine's infidelity and the metaphorical “unripe pear” scene 00:04:34.Debate over Historical Events and Narrative ChoicesThere's an in-depth discussion about the authenticity and dramatic effectiveness of sending Napoleon to England vs. Egypt, with concerns about narrative payoff and dramatic logic for audiences 00:12:22.Motivations Behind the Egyptian CampaignAlex Stevenson provides historical context for Napoleon's Egyptian adventure, discussing the Directory's motives, the project's ties to myth-making, prestige, and the origins of Egyptology (including the Rosetta Stone) 00:16:16.Identifying the "Bad Guys Close In" PhaseThe team frame the next segment of their narrative as the “bad guys close in” phase, per Blake Snyder's structure. This act will feature setbacks for Napoleon, the Directory as antagonists, and cracks forming within Napoleon's “gang” 00:22:02.Setbacks in Egypt and Antagonist DynamicsA list of major setbacks is outlined: confirmed betrayal by Josephine, isolation after Nelson destroys the French fleet, Ottoman intervention orchestrated by the Directory, and discussions on how to visually and narratively stack these blows for dramatic effect 00:27:32.Reintegrating and Redefining the "Gang"They debate how to portray dissension among Napoleon's loyalists. 00:43:22.Looking Ahead: Approaching the Low PointThe episode closes with a preview of the next section: Napoleon's imminent “all is lost” moment, a stretch defined as the dark night of the soul, where all seems lost before act three begins. 00:51:07.

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by her bestie Krystal G for a nostalgic and culture-driven conversation celebrating the lasting impact of 2006 on hip-hop and R&B, revisiting an era that helped redefine music, fashion, and collaboration culture.

The AgNet News Hour featured California Pear Advisory Board Executive Director Chris Zanobini, who discussed the upcoming pear season, market challenges, imported fruit concerns, and the future of one of California's longtime specialty crop industries. Zanobini said the 2025 season was difficult for California pear growers, largely because of heavy competition from imported fruit on retail shelves. One of the biggest concerns is fruit treated with shelf-life extension products, which can leave pears hard and slow to ripen. “Any inferior product in the marketplace, whether it's from somewhere else or even from our neighbors, definitely has a negative impact on the product that we're producing,” Zanobini said. California pear growers have taken a different approach. Zanobini said the industry made a commitment several years ago not to use 1-MCP, a ripening inhibitor used in some imported pears. “We know that our product is going to get in there, it's going to turn color, and it's going to have that sweet, juicy, incredible flavor that consumers want,” he said. That quality message is especially important as California's pear industry continues to shrink. Zanobini said the state is now down to about 50 pear growers and roughly 4,000 acres, compared to hundreds of growers and much larger production numbers in previous decades. “These families have been doing this for multiple generations,” he said. “In many cases, we're into the fifth or sixth generation of pear farmers.” The 2026 crop is expected to arrive early, following the same trend seen in several California crops this season. Zanobini said Bartlett pears could begin showing up by the fourth week of June, possibly earlier. “We bloomed two weeks earlier,” he said. “As long as things continue to go the way they've been going, we will definitely have pears by the end of June.” For consumers, the message is simple: look for California-grown or USA-grown labels when buying pears. Zanobini said those PLU stickers matter, especially when shoppers are trying to avoid imported pears that may not deliver the same eating experience. “Come the end of June, eat pears,” he said. “Eat California pears.” The conversation also touched on broader pressures facing California agriculture, including labor, fuel, freight, water, regulations, and competition from imports. Zanobini said growers are not looking for handouts—they simply want a fair chance to grow a high-quality product and get paid for it. “Farmers don't really want bailouts,” he said. “They want to do their day's work, grow a wonderful product, and then get paid for it.” Despite the challenges, Zanobini said the outlook for this year's crop is strong, with good supply and excellent quality expected.

Wowie! So many excellent fragrances to get your noses around in this episode, it was difficult to know where to begin. But with so many to explore we started with a recap of the recent barnstorming success of Barnes Fragrance Fair...We talked through Suzy's choices for her sold-out talk with Alice du Parcq (and if you couldn't go or were there but missed any of the talks: never fear! They were all recorded and will be on the Barnes Fragrance Fair YouTube channel when they're all edited. We'll let you know when they're up, but meanwhile you can watch last year's talks there, including the ‘Top of the morning' show we so loved doing.)Suzy chose:Shloksha Soapy HeartBased in Tunbridge Wells, founder Jay says “Moving from India to the UK in mytwenties, I do miss the immersive sensory joys found in everyday Indian culture.Sourcing and working with traditional Indian materials connects me to mychildhood—scented trips down memory lane!”Opening notes - red mandarin and grapefruitHeart notes - jasmine, ylang ylang, green grass and saffronBase notes – sandalwood, fruity musk, oudh“You slip on your fine silk robe, gorgeously patterned with tropical birds, andquietly pad along the hallway to the bathroom. Closing the heavy wooden doorwith a sigh of relief, you lean over the sparkling slipper bath, slide the plug inand turn both taps on full. Glittering beads of water dance in the diffuse light.You perch your hip on the side of the bath as your ears fill pleasantly with theroar and tumble of the cascading water. Your life is very busy and demanding,and you get few opportunities to indulge yourself. But a long, quiet bath is oftenwhat you crave.Your eyes glance along the rich turquoise tiled shelf as you ponder how to scentyour watery sanctuary. Antique crystal jars hold delicately fragrant floralsalts—you carefully lift their lids- one by one - and their enchanting perfumesmingle with the steam. But they're perhaps not exactly what you're in the moodfor.A waxed paper tablet of old-fashioned, handmade soap sits demurely at theend of the shelf. Fresh, brand new and unopened. Your fingertips softly caressthe crackling paper as you carefully unwrap it and the dense, creamy pebbledrops into your silken lap.You dip your hands briefly in the warm bath water and rotate the smooth soap inyour hands.

While Evan's away, Hannah reflects on the announcement that Hampshire College, an unconventional school founded in the 1970s, is closing its doors.

Send us Fan MailA great Disney ride song does not just play in the background, it grabs your brain and refuses to leave. We're sipping a Ginger Pear Snap inspired by Liberty Tree Tavern and doing something we've wanted to do for a while: ranking our favorite Disney ride music from worst to first, with plenty of friendly arguing along the way.We get into what makes theme park music powerful, whether you rank tracks by how “iconic” they are or by how they feel when you're actually on the attraction. That takes us through everything from queue and exit music to full ride soundtracks and medleys. We talk Figment and One Little Spark, the pull of Pirates of the Caribbean, why Grim Grinning Ghosts can be top tier even if Haunted Mansion is not your personal must do, and how modern Disney music like Nothing Can Stop Us Now already feels like a classic earworm.We also hit Guardians of the Galaxy from both angles, since a rotating playlist means the ride is the experience and the song at the same time. You'll hear why “I Want You Back” on Mission Breakout works so well, why “Disco Inferno” on Cosmic Rewind is a perfect synced moment, and how nostalgia heavy staples like Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and the Enchanted Tiki Room keep earning replay after replay. When we wrap, we share a few listener favorites and ask for more because everyone's list tells a different Disney story.Subscribe for more Disney parks talk, share this with a friend who always hums ride songs, and leave us a review.

Imagine you are in the produce section of the grocery store picking out your fruit for the week, and you remember the apple marketing slogan “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Once you make your way over to the apples, you are almost guaranteed to find a variety that fits your preference for taste and texture. These varieties are only made possible because of grafting techniques, a method for combining and reproducing desirable traits in fruit trees. Pear cultivation uses similar techniques, but producing desirable traits such as dwarfing, that apples so readily display remains a challenge in pear cultivation. This is why the selection of pear varieties is so dwarfed (pun intended) compared to that of apples. This week on the show we are joined by Claire Pierce, a 2nd year master's student in the Department of Horticulture. Claire is co-advised by Kelsey Galimba (OSU) and Jessica Waite (USDA-ARS), and conducts her research at the Hood River Research Station. The long-term goal of Claire's research is to diversify the available rootstocks used in the pear industry and improve yield for agricultural pear cultivation. The first step is to find compatible rootstocks (the base of the plant) and scions (the top of the plant) that exhibit dwarfing characteristics, something that is limited in the current pear industry. The next step is developing root structure phenotype characterization methods; a classically tricky task to accomplish due to the roots being hidden underground and all that. Tune into KBVR 88.7 FM at 7:00 pm PST on April 12th to hear Claire talk about how she is overcoming these challenges and gaining valuable experience along the way. Claire's story is one filled with moments of being in the right place at the right time and leaning into making connections.

Two veteran journalists set out to document Israel's destruction of Gaza's health care system: hospitals attacked, medical workers killed, doctors detained and held for long periods without criminal charges. The BBC had commissioned the film. But their Palestinian sources in Gaza and the West Bank were skeptical. “We really had to try and persuade them…to talk to us because they didn't—and don't—trust the BBC,” says reporter Ramita Navai. One source doubted the BBC would air the film. “And I was quite shocked he felt that way,” says reporter Ben de Pear. “But actually, he was 100 percent right.”Over the last couple of years, big media organizations have been criticized—from the left and the right—about their coverage of the war in Gaza. But it's rare to get the chance to peel back the curtain to see what exactly was happening inside one of those organizations to learn whether political pressure played a role in journalistic decision-making.This week on Reveal, we're partnering with the KCRW podcast Question Everything to tell the story of a film the BBC wouldn't air and what it says about the future of journalism.

Alice Waters opened her iconic Berkeley, California restaurant Chez Panisse 54 years ago, introducing the concept of farm-to-table eating to Americans and only serving local, seasonal produce at peak ripeness. She’s also a food activist, and through The Edible Schoolyard Project, has spent the past 30 years showing schools how to integrate locally farmed, organic produce into their cafeterias. On today’s episode, Alice shares two life-changing experiences that inspired her to open her restaurant; what diners thought about being served two figs for dessert in Chez Panisse’s early days; how schools can afford to serve kids farm fresh food; and what she packed in her own daughter’s lunchbox. And we take a peak inside her her new cookbook, A School Lunch Revolution. Then the Director of Nutrition Services for California’s Sweet Water Union High School district joins the show to talk about how he flipped the district’s lunch program on its head, buying more than half of the food from local farmers and producers or having the students grow it themselves.
