The two also dive into other major storylines and offseason developments from around the FCS.Later in the show, Colter sits down with Jaden Steppe, sophomore forward for the Montana State Bobcats men's basketball, to talk about his journey, his connections to Montana, and his mindset as the Bobcats gear up for the upcoming conference tournament.

Hello my curious archaeogastronomers!A brand new episode is out, and it's all about the long history of fermented dairy foodstuffs from the vast regions of Central Asia.Fermented dairy products from Central Asia have been to space! Resilient and nutritious, and good for the bronze age and the space age, are truly interstellar travelers of our civilization! We all know yoghurt and kefir but have you heard of kumis, chortan, gooroot?For this reason I 've employed the expertise and knowledge of Dr Simi Rezai Ghassemi, to tell me all about the amazing, uknown, and life giving fermented dairy products of Central Asia countries, from Azerbaijan, to Iran, all the way to Mongolian steppe! The 4000 year old mummified remains of a woman known as "The Beauty of Xiaohe" have fermented dairy (kefir? cheese?) as necklace. A seemingly unbroken tradition of drying and preserving dairy for the long harsh environments of Central Asia since time immemorial...So who indeed invented the first kefir? This side of Caucasus or the desserts of China? All the above and much more on today's episode!More about the mummies found in Tarim Basin:https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/ancient-mummies-of-the-tarim-basin/Find out more about Dr Simi below:Web: https://simiskitchenblog.wordpress.comSubstack: https://srezaighassemi.substack.comIntagram: https://www.instagram.com/simiskitchen/Equinox: https://equinoxpub.com/projects/fermented-dairy-of-central-asiaAnyway enjoy our fascinating chat here!Love,Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Steppe Gold: Det är kortsiktigt ett bättre läge nu (ungefär kommande tolv månader) än vid det förra avsnittet, tack vare en mycket stark Q4 rapport som presenteras i april 2026.OBS: Finanskursen.se startar 8 mars. Gör en tidig ansökan nu (gratis såklart) för att garantera en plats.Men investeringsläget för Steppe är faktiskt något sämre på lite längre sikt (sett över 3-4 år) pga fördröjd ATO-2-gruva. Notera även felsägningen angående Q4 2025****.B2Gold: Bolaget går ungefär i enlighet med vårt tidigare avsnitt om företaget.Den stora uppgången torde börja från och med nu (dvs Q4, februari 2026), i och med att den kanadensiska gruvan, Goose, börjar producera.Alternativt startar uppgången senast efter Q2 2026, dvs om ca 6 mån (cirka augusti 2026), när den första hedgen på $2000 guld släpps. Oavsett så kommer B2Gold redovisa stigande omsättning och kassaflöden för varje kvartal, från och med nu och under de kommande tre åren.OBS, inget i avsnittet utgör eller ska tolkas som investeringsrekommendationer.****FELSÄGNING: Bolaget sålde 37koz guld i Q4, inte 30koz...Det blir därmed ändå alltså omkring 160 MUSD i intäkt och cirka 120 MUSD i EBITDA i runda tal, precis som Ludvig sade i avsnittet. Det bygger då på 37 koz i guldförsäljning, dvs inte de 30koz, som Ludvig råkade säga.FRÅN BOLAGET: "Company 2025 fourth quarter gold production was 29,280 oz, higher than updated guidance of 23,000 oz. Unaudited gold sales for the quarter was 37,357 oz. As a result, full year unaudited sales and production for the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group“) was approximately 76,000 oz."

'Zondag de negenste', de debuutfilm van regisseur Kat Steppe, opent in 2026 het Filmfestival van Oostende. Een levensecht verhaal waarin niet alleen acteurs maar ook patiënten met alzheimer meespelen. Waarom is het zo moeilijk om voorbij de ziekte te kijken en de mens te blijven zien?  Hoe belangrijk zijn herinneringen? En wat wil je meegeven op een uitvaart?

I talk to Eric Halsey about his new book State Builders from the Steppe: A History of the First Bulgarian Empire.In it he chronicles the rise and fall of the Bulgars as they arrive in the Balkans and forge a state that would be a thorn in the Byzantine side. I thoroughly recommended the book. It's well researched, easy to read and it's nice to hear about a subject so intimately entwined with Byzantine history from a different perspective.Find the book on Amazon or check out the Bulgarian History podcast where Eric takes the Bulgarian story all the way to the present.

In Bannock County, a hungry herd of goats is taking on invasive cheatgrass, helping the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust restore native habitat for the region's wild residents.

Brandon Steppe left a corporate career to start a recording studio in his garage—never imagining that a few persistent neighborhood kids would change his life. Those early studio sessions grew into the David's Harp Foundation, a nonprofit where justice-involved and opportunity youth in San Diego discover their voices and chart a path forward through music, media, and mentorship. This Episode Can rhythm and relationship change a young person's life? Brandon shares how vulnerability and honesty became cornerstones of his organization's culture, starting with a simple practice he calls flashlight first: mentors shine the light on themselves before asking youth to open up. From those early lessons grew a creative community that helps youth connect to support, record songs behind detention walls, and build micro-enterprises that pay real wages and teach real skills. Together with Grant, Brandon explores how art heals, how relationships transform justice, and how community-rooted workforce programs can help young people thrive. Key Moments: [4:05] How one determined teenager changed Brandon's path [8:28] “Flashlight first”—earning trust through vulnerability [22:54] The importance of relational support [32:52] Creating access and opportunity in the creative economy [43:35] Turning a $1M gift into transformational community-based housing Resources Mentioned in This Episode: David's Harp Foundation – Empowering youth through music, media, and mentorship Brandon Steppe TEDx Talk – On honesty and human connection Prebys Foundation Workforce Initiative – Supporting career pathways for youth Take Action: Listen First – Practice “flashlight first” in your own conversations. Invest in Creativity – Support programs that give young people tools to tell their stories. See Youth as Talent – Hire, mentor, or collaborate with local young creators. Value Relationship – Support programs that center relational care, not control.  Credits:This is a production of the Prebys FoundationHosted by Grant OliphantCo-Hosted by Crystal PageCo-produced by Crystal Page and Adam GreenfieldEngineered by Adam GreenfieldProduction Coordination by Tess KareskyVideo Production by Edgar Ontiveros MedinaThe Stop & Talk Theme song was created by San Diego's own Mr. Lyrical Groove.Download episodes at your favorite podcatcher or visit us at StopAndTalkPod​cast​.orgSpecial thanks to the Prebys Foundation TeamIf you like this show, and we hope you do, the best way to support this show is to share, subscribe

Woher kommen eigentlich unsere Nutztiere – und was steckt noch Wildes in ihnen? In dieser Folge reisen wir zurück zu den Ursprüngen: zum ausgestorbenen Auerochsen, der einst durch Europa und Asien streifte und zum Stammvater aller Rinder wurde. Zum Bankivahuhn, das heute noch in tropischen Wäldern scharrt, und den Grundstein für unsere Haushühner legte. Zum Wolf, dessen gezähmte Ahnen heute im Miniaturformat unsere Sofas hüten. Und zum Wildschwein, dessen Gene im Hausschwein eigentlich nur schlafen. Wir fragen uns, wie die Natur aussähe, wenn wir sie nicht so stark durch Nutztiere und Landwirtschaft geprägt hätten. Wäre Deutschland eine Steppe? Oder ein Wald? In wieweit gehören Nutztiere heute zur Natur und was haben Kühe in Nationalparks zu suchen?Wir sprechen über wilde Instinkte, alte Gene und darüber, wie sehr die Geschichte dieser Tiere auch unsere eigene ist. Ein Blick auf die enge, manchmal erstaunliche Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Tier – von der Jagd zur Landwirtschaft, vom Stall bis zum Sofa.Danke an Sommerfugl15 für den spannenden Folgenwunsch!Weiterführende Links:Unser Partner, der Förderverein Nationalpark Boddenlandschaft: https://www.bodden-nationalpark.de/Eine Übersicht: https://www.wissenschaft.de/erde-umwelt/nutztiere-im-wandel-der-zeit/Die Zähmung vom Wolf und die selbst Domestikation des Menschen: https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S1364-6613%2822%2900018-3Die Evolution der Tier-Domestikation: https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-110512-135813;jsessionid=OKOP2mcuetLus_-9quund-_XwB0Iyb1EtYHAIOYP.annurevlive-10-241-10-71Geschichte der Hühnerhaltung: https://www.eierschachteln.de/blog/geschichte-der-huehnerhaltung/Effekte der domestikation auf Hirn und Verhalten beim Huhn: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34044402/Wilde Schweine-Gene: https://www-popularmechanics-com.translate.goog/science/animals/a43294202/feral-hog-genetics/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=de&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=sge&_x_tr_hist=trueStealth Genes: https://www-northcountrypublicradio-org.translate.goog/news/story/31104/20200409/when-domesticated-animals-return-to-the-wild?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=de&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=sgeAuerochse: https://www.hessen-forst.de/freizeit/tiergarten-weilburg/die-tiere-im-wildpark/auerochse Hosted on Acast.

This one is personal. I got to ride with Gianna Aycock and Colby Coltrain during the Mongol Derby, and by the first night in training camp they basically adopted me. These two became my Derby older brother and sister, gear gurus, morale squad, and a big reason I made it to the finish line. In this episode, we finally sat down to unpack their whole journey, how Gianna went from riding anything she could as a kid in New Mexico to riding 12 horses a day prepping for the Derby, and how Colby, the ultimate jack-of-all-trades, went from college baseball to welding fences to racing ponies across Mongolia.They're some of my favorite humans, and this conversation is everything I love about horses and horse people, real talk, good stories, and a lot of heart. We get into the nitty gritty of how they prepped for the world's toughest horse race, what nearly broke them (and what didn't), and why Gianna's doing it again in 2026.Key topics we discussed:The backstory: how Gianna first fell into horses and how Colby got pulled into the world alongside herGearing up for the Derby—what equipment they optimized, what they regretted, and the art of ultra‑light packingThe emotional and physical highs and lows during the race: illness, navigation challenges, horse draws, and how they stuck togetherLessons from the trail: reading terrain, trusting horses, managing scarcity, and the power of small acts of kindnessHow the Derby changed them: in gratitude, relationship to food, presence, mindset—and why Gianna is doing it again in 2026

HEADLINE: The Pleistocene Mammoth Steppe and the Mosaic Environment of Early Human Evolution BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This excerpt introduces the work of paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Thomas Halliday, beginning in the Pleistocene era, 20,000 years ago. The focus is the Mammoth Steppe, described as the largest ecosystem on the planet. This cold, arid, grass-dominated environment stretched from Western Europe across Beringia into Alaska and the Yukon, managed by large herbivores like mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bison. Today, this entire community is essentially non-existent. The apex predator discussed is Arctodus Simus, the fearsomely large short-faced bear. The narrative then moves backward to the Pliocene, 4 million years ago, in the East African Rift Valley(Kenya/Ethiopia). This region, marked by sequences of ancient lakes, features a crucial mosaic environment of forests and grasslands. This mixed habitat was extremely important for the evolution of versatile, problem-solving organisms, including early human ancestors. The earliest species definitively known to be more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, Orrorin tugenensis, occupied this land. Halliday emphasizes exploring ecosystems that, while humans were present globally, were not yet heavily modified by human activity.

This episode focuses on the monumental contribution of 19th-century Russia to world literature. We delve into the minds of masters like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, who perfected the psychological novel and used it to explore the depths of human consciousness, morality, suffering, and redemption with unparalleled intensity.

Nous sommes à la fin du XIXe siècle, dans la steppe boisée ukrainienne. Président de la Commission impériale d'archéologie de Russie, le comte Alekseï Bobrinski a pour mission de diriger des fouilles sur différents sites, dont des monuments funéraires. Voilà que son équipe met au jour des sépultures de femmes. Des femmes qui ne sont pas seulement parées de bijoux, mais aussi accompagnées d'un armement complet : des lances et des carquois remplis de flèches. Jusque-là, les archéologues, les historiens associaient les armes aux hommes. Le comte Bobrinski sera l'un des premiers à « oser » identifier ces tombes comme étant celles où reposent des amazones. Cette reconnaissance marque un tournant dans l'étude des rapports entre le mythe grec des Amazones et les preuves matérielles de l'existence, bien réelle, de femmes armées au sein de sociétés nomades. Qui étaient ces femmes ? Les armes retrouvées à leurs côtés sont-elles le signe d'une nécessité liée au mode de vie nomade ? Sont-elles le symbole d'une obligation rituelle ou d'un marqueur de statut social ? Peut-on prétendre que les amazones « historiques » vivant dans ces cultures de la steppe étaient plus libres, plus émancipées, plus égales aux hommes que les femmes évoluant dans les sociétés sédentaires du monde méditerranéen ? Avec nous : Iaroslav LEBEDYNSKY, enseigne l'histoire de l'Ukraine à l'Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales de Paris. « LES AMAZONES : Mythe et réalité des femmes armées chez les anciens nomades de la steppe » ; Errance & Picard/Actes Sud. sujets traités : amazones ,femmes, armées, nomades, Steppe, Alekseï Bobrinski, mythes Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Kasachstan ist das neuntgrößte Land der Erde. Mit einer Fläche von 2.724.900 Quadratkilometern ist es auch der größte Binnenstaat der Welt. Und dennoch wissen wir so wenig über das Land. Dabei kann das Land mit mehr als nur weiter Steppe und Bergen auftrumpfen. Allein ein Besuch der wohl verrücktesten Hauptstadt der Welt – Astana – lohnt sich. Vor drei Jahrzehnten verlagerte die autoritäre Regierung ihre Hauptstadt mitten ins Land. Dank hohen Erlösen aus Erdöl- und anderen Bodenschatzverkäufen investierte die Regierung Milliarden in moderne und futuristische Bauten, die symbolträchtig und monumental wirken. Prominente Architekten aus aller Welt haben die Verwaltungsneustadt entworfen. Das bekannteste Bauwerk ist der 100 Meter hohe Bajterek-Turm. Flair aber, sucht man hier vergeblich. Den hat dagegen die alte Hauptstadt Almaty behalten. Sie ist die Geburtsstadt des Apfels. Ihren Namen verdankt sie der Frucht: Alma-Ata heißt übersetzt „Vater der Äpfel.“ Der Urapfel läuft aber Gefahr auszusterben. Denn immer mehr Apfelwiesen müssen Bauprojekten weichen, denn die größte Stadt des Landes boomt weiter: Die Höhe der Hochhäuser ist wichtiger als die Menge der Äpfel. Und dennoch: Almaty wirkt gemütlich. Hier endet der Tag nicht, er klingt aus, während die Sonne langsam hinter der Silhouette der schneebedeckten Berge versinkt. Vor Cafés und Restaurants sitzen vor allem junge Menschen, trinken einen Kaffee oder einen Cocktail. Das Leben hier ist teurer als auf dem Land. Der Naturliebhaber findet hingegen anderswo im Land seine Höhepunkte: den Altin-Emel-Nationalpark mit viel Gestein und Sanddünen, den Scharyn-Canyon, er ist der kleine, kasachische Bruder des Grand Canyons. Im Sommer lassen grüne Berge rund um Saty die Besucher in eine andere Welt eintauchen. Freilaufende Pferde- und Schafherden vor traumhafter Bergkulisse strahlen eine nicht vermutete Magie aus. Auch das ist Kasachstan. Reportagen von Dennis Burk

As the kids head back to school and routines reset, there's no better time to declutter! Not just your space, but your mind. In this episode, we are bringing back a conversation with professional organizer, Anne Steppe. She helps usher in a clean-slate mindset by showing how simplified surroundings lead to more peace, productivity, and presence at home. Anne shares practical tips you can apply today, plus her personal journey of downsizing from a 4,000-square-foot house to a 2-bedroom apartment. Whether you're clearing the clutter after a chaotic summer or looking to reset your space for fall, this replay will inspire you to let go of what no longer serves you and create room for what truly matters. As the Owner of Step by Steppe Professional Organizing for over 15 years, Anne has worked with clients in and around the Charlotte area to help them systematize their spaces to enhance their lives and wellbeing. She empowers her clients to live into the vision they have for their homes, lives, and businesses by organizing in ways that create efficiency, fuel productivity and spark creativity.  Connect with Anne: Website Instagram: @stepbysteppeorganizing Facebook   Some key takeaways from this episode include: You might think your clutter isn't affecting you, but your nervous system says otherwise. Anne walks us through what the research actually shows: more stuff = more stress, whether we're aware of it or not. Turns out “one in, one out” doesn't cut it anymore. With the sheer amount of stuff most of us accumulate, Anne recommends a new rule: for every item you bring into your home, remove three. It's bold - but it works. Your clutter has a legacy. It's not just your daily peace at stake. Eventually, someone else will be left to sort through what you leave behind. Be intentional about the story you want your stuff to tell.

Although the music of Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846–1909) is less well known than that of his teacher (Stanisław Moniuszko) and his students (Karol Szymanowski and Mieczysław Karłowicz), Noskowski was nonetheless the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland for most of the 19th century; he also introduced the idea of the symphonic poem to colleagues who would follow in his footsteps. Raymond Bisha introduces a programme of his Third Symphony and the symphonic poem The Steppe, Op. 66, which blends sweeping Romanticism with Polish folk spirit. The symphony is a journey through the seasons, while The Steppe evokes Poland's vast landscapes with colourful hints of Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia.

Send us a textIn our final episode on our Mongol mini-series, we discuss the expedition into Europe, which introduced the Christian Knights to the mighty and invincible horde that had just devastated the Chinese and Islamic world. A small two-general army broke through the Kingdom of Georgia, and annihilated the Cumans and Kievan Rus in a deadly ambush, after luring 80,000 soldiers out into the Steppe. By the end of the episode, Genghis Khan will fall dead, many suggest his death was caused by the Black Death, which is a perfect segway to the Black Plague that followed the Mongol Invasions. You can really see how people living at the time thought this was the end of times.  The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comMusic by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comCheck out our 2nd Podcast: www.antecedors.com

On this episode of the podcast, I have the distinct pleasure to sit down with UK stud veterinarians Kate and Tim, the husband-and-wife duo who kept horses (and wayward riders) in one piece during the 2024 Mongol Derby.

Plus, we track their jump from globe-trotting vet work to running their own breeding farm in Newmarket.Key topics we discussed:How Kate talked Tim onto a flight to Mongolia and what shocked them most on arrival.The unfiltered day-to-day of a Derby vet: twelve-hour shifts, storm chasing, and handing out time penalties with a smile.Food culture on the step, including the infamous offal bowl and why Skittles sometimes save lives.Life after the Derby: setting up a thoroughbred breeding business, balancing farm chores with late-night foal checks, and Tim's first polo lesson.Racing pigeons explained by a guy who owns fifty of them and still finds time to check heart rates on horses.Follow along Tim and Kate's journey:Facebook:@burden_lee_equine_ltd@burden_lee_equine_ltdLike what you heard?

Send us a textIn our third episode on the Mongolian mini series, we see exactly what Genghis Khan's army is capable of as he launches his first full-scale war against an outside empire. The Mongolians start the campaign as nothing more than a mighty Steppe army, but with the capture of Chinese cities and engineers, Genghis incorporates all of the Chinese technology into his army, making him the most feared and capable army on the planet. The JIN Dynasty will only be the first of many states to fall to the Mongols.

Keeping details straight while writing a chronologically organized series is difficult enough. Focusing four full-length novels on the events of a single group experience in a single year, with back stories and future developments for a small group of heroines, each of whom has a chance to tell her own story of the central event and its consequences, requires even greater skill. Yet Karen Swan pulls off this mammoth enterprise in her Wild Isle series, which concludes with The Midnight Secret (Macmillan, 2025). The Last Summer, the first book in the series, opens in June 1930 with three friends sitting on a rock plucking fulmars, a kind of seabird. Effie, Mhairi (the Gaelic form of Mary, pronounced VAH-ree), and Flora already know that they will have to evacuate their island home in the Outermost Scottish Hebrides within a few months. Flora greets the change with enthusiasm, Effie with cautious pragmatism, and Mhairi with despair. From this first book and the two that follow, The Stolen Hours and The Lost Lover, we discover what drives each young woman's response. We also delve ever deeper into the circumstances leading up to a mysterious death, highly unusual in the history of this isolated island with its tightly intertwined population of thirty-six individuals. The Midnight Secret begins in 1926 with the perspective of Jayne Ferguson, the slightly older wife of a handsome but, she soon learns, abusive man. It then jumps forward to 1930. From her mother, Jayne has inherited a particular form of second sight that shows her the faces of people in her vicinity who are destined to die soon. The visions haunt her until the death occurs, but they do not come with useful information about what will cause it or how to prevent it. Sometimes even the “who” remains murky at first. The combination of this rather disturbing gift and what Jayne sees as the necessity to conceal her husband's abuse erect a barrier between her and those around her, especially after the transition to the unfamiliar landscape of the Scottish mainland. At the same time, Effie, Mhairi, and Flora are wrestling with the consequences of their own prior choices as well as the difficulties of adapting to a completely unfamiliar world. And as things heat up, with various characters accused of involvement in the mysterious death, Jayne's extrasensory ability becomes ever more important to the survival of her community even as it undermines her already rocky relationship with her spouse.  Karen Swan is the bestselling author of twenty-eight novels to date, most recently The Midnight Secret and All I Want for Christmas.  C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her Song of the Steadfast (Songs of Steppe & Forest 6) appeared in June 2025. Learn more about your ad choices.

Anne Steppe is on a mission to simplify spaces so that her clients can live well with less: less clutter, less chaos, and less stress. We could not be more on board with this mission! In this episode, she shares with us the biggest things that make an impact on the amount of clutter in your home and how you can implement those things today.

Anne dives into studies showing clutter's immediate impact on your heart rate, breathing, and energy levels. You might've heard the “one in, one out rule” for keeping clutter under control, but Anne's experience shows we have way more stuff than we realize. She actually suggests for every one item you bring into the home, you should get rid of three items to make a dent in your home's clutter. Deep breaths! Clutter does not just impact your family in the here and now. When we eventually pass on, all of our stuff gets left behind for our kids and grandkids to deal with.
