Discover the sweeping story of how Indigenous, European, and African traditions intertwined to form an entirely new cuisine, with over 90 recipes for the modern home cook—from the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Famer and star of the Netflix docuseries High on the Hog. One of our preeminent culinary historians, Dr. Jessica B. Harris has conducted decades of research throughout the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa. In this telling of the origins of American food, though, she gets more personal. As heritage is history, she intertwines the larger sweeping past with stories and recipes from friends she's made over the years—people whose family dishes go back to the crucial era when Native peoples encountered Europeans and the enslaved Africans they brought with them. Through this mix, we learn that Clear Broth Clam Chowder has both Indigenous and European roots; the same, too, with Enchiladas Suizas, tomatillo-smothered tortillas made “Swiss” with cheese and dairy; and that the hallmarks of African American food through the centuries have been evolution based on region, migration, and innovation, resulting in classics like Red Beans and Rice and Peach Bread Pudding Cupcakes with Bourbon Glaze. With recipes ranging from everyday meals to festive spreads, Braided Heritage: Recipes and Stories on the Origin of American Cuisine (Clarkson Potter, 2025) offers a new, in-depth, delicious look at American culinary history.

Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty! Ryan is here to help review the 1993 classic, Rookie of the Year. ABOUT COOL RUNNINGS:When a Jamaican sprinter is disqualified from the Olympic Games, he enlists the help of a dishonored coach to start the first Jamaican Bobsled Team.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR COOL RUNNINGS:October 1, 1993 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF COOL RUNNINGS:Leon as Derice BannockDoug E. Doug as Sanka CoffieRawle D. Lewis as Junior BevilMalik Yoba as Yul BrennerJohn Candy as Irving “Irv” BlitzerBRAN'S COOL RUNNINGS SYNOPSIS: We're in Jamaica, and it's not quite bobsled time. We meet Jamaican sprinter Derice running through town. It's November 1987, and Derice is preparing to qualify for the Olympics. He runs until he reaches the pushcart competition, where his best friend Sanka competes in the big pushcart race. Sanka crashes, but no problem—Derice keeps running.It's time for the qualifying race. Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it's Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there's no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That's when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that's their squad.They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds.Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs.To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn't been the same since he was caught cheating.Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing.It's time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT!They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they've been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them.It's Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior's dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last.The team's first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team's methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth.During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled's blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior's father.The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.

In this episode, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss effective strategies for preventing kidney stones through dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments. They emphasize the importance of hydration, understanding oxalate-rich foods, and setting achievable goals for long-term success. The conversation highlights the need for consistency rather than perfection in dietary habits, encouraging listeners to enjoy their lives while making mindful choices to reduce kidney stone risk.Removing oxalate won't prevent kidney stones!TakeawaysYou have to take away five foods: almonds, spinach, chia seeds, cashews, and Swiss chard.Start with hydration; aim for two and a half liters of fluid daily.Lower sodium intake to 1500-2000 mg per day.Focus on one dietary goal at a time for better results.Consistency is key; it's not about being perfect.You can still enjoy fun foods while managing your diet.Understanding food labels is crucial for dietary management.The kidney stone diet allows for various lifestyles, including keto.Don't give up; setbacks are part of the journey.Resources are available at kidneystonediet.com for guidance.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Kidney Stone Prevention01:09 Understanding the Basics of Kidney Stone Diet04:57 Setting Goals for Kidney Stone Prevention09:16 The Importance of Consistency in Lifestyle Changes——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Start HereKidney Stone Diet® All-Access PassKidney Stone Diet® CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansKidney Stone Diet® BooksPrivate Consultation with JillOne-on-One Deep Dive24-Hour Urine AnalysisSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _Since 1998, Jill Harris has been the #1 kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today we dive into the latest headlines, research, controversies, and the practical realities of Ozempic, a medication originally crafted for type two diabetes that has rocketed into the spotlight for its weight-loss effects.Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, was approved in the United States in December 2017 to help manage blood sugar in people living with type two diabetes. However, it soon became widely prescribed off-label for weight loss, a trend that only accelerated after the higher-dose version, branded as Wegovy, received federal approval in 2021. According to the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1, helping regulate blood sugar and appetite. Many people using it experience reduced appetite and significant weight reduction.While its popularity continues to grow, so does scientific understanding. A 2025 study presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference revealed that Swiss patients with type two diabetes using oral semaglutide experienced clinically significant drops in both blood sugar and body weight. GlobalData reports that no new safety risks were identified in that trial, supporting ongoing confidence among healthcare professionals.But for those interested only in weight loss, it is not all smooth sailing. Ozempic carries a range of potential side effects. According to King Law, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the last year, with plaintiffs claiming they suffered severe complications such as gastroparesis, intestinal blockages, blood clots, and even hair loss. A study published this August found that women on Ozempic experienced twice the rate of hair loss as women who were not taking the drug, while men saw their risk climb by more than half.The United States Food and Drug Administration updated Ozempic's packaging earlier this year to warn about the risk of pancreatitis and severe kidney injuries, including potentially fatal outcomes linked to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. The label changes were driven by new clinical trial data and reinforce the importance of medical supervision when using these drugs.Shortages, once a common concern, have eased. The Food and Drug Administration officially took Ozempic off the drug shortage list in February after Novo Nordisk provided reassurance about inventory and supply. That move, however, sparked legal challenges from compounders competing in the market.Unfortunately, enthusiasm for rapid weight loss has also created a black market for Ozempic and similar drugs. The Food and Drug Administration cautions against using compounded or counterfeit versions, which have not undergone review for safety or effectiveness. Some of these unregulated products might be contaminated, mislabeled, or dangerously dosed. Always fill your prescriptions through a licensed pharmacy.For listeners interested in alternatives, exciting research is underway. Purdue University food scientists are investigating foods and supplements that naturally stimulate GLP-1, the hormone Ozempic is designed to mimic. While these approaches will not produce the dramatic weight loss seen with medication, they may help those seeking more natural solutions—especially if someone discontinues their prescription and needs help maintaining a healthy weight.So, where does Ozempic stand today? We have a medication achieving strong results for blood sugar control and weight loss, but one that comes with a profile of side effects still being researched, legal actions underscoring patient concerns, and increased focus on responsible, safe prescribing.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

In the first of a special four-part series on the Habsburgs, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb traces the unlikely rise of Europe's most enduring imperial family. Emerging from a modest Swiss noble house in the 10th century, the House of Habsburg would go on to dominate the political, cultural, and religious life of Europe for nearly 400 years. Through strategic marriages, dynastic inheritances, and shrewd political manoeuvring, the Habsburgs expanded their influence to eventually rule a vast empire stretching from the Americas to the Ottoman frontier. Suzannah is joined by Professor Martyn Rady to explore how the Habsburgs built—and nearly broke—an empire without equal.MORE:Habsburg Inbreeding with Dr. Adam Rutherfordhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3sQ4jrYtuwAFJUfBgbaAXYWhen Women Ruled the Low Countrieshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2u4fBHVgNhAMiaLjBv4X8ZPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

We don't know how AIs think or why they do what they do. Or at least, we don't know much. That fact is only becoming more troubling as AIs grow more capable and appear on track to wield enormous cultural influence, directly advise on major government decisions, and even operate military equipment autonomously. We simply can't tell what models, if any, should be trusted with such authority.Neel Nanda of Google DeepMind is one of the founding figures of the field of machine learning trying to fix this situation — mechanistic interpretability (or “mech interp”). The project has generated enormous hype, exploding from a handful of researchers five years ago to hundreds today — all working to make sense of the jumble of tens of thousands of numbers that frontier AIs use to process information and decide what to say or do.Full transcript, video, and links to learn more: https://80k.info/nn1Neel now has a warning for us: the most ambitious vision of mech interp he once dreamed of is probably dead. He doesn't see a path to deeply and reliably understanding what AIs are thinking. The technical and practical barriers are simply too great to get us there in time, before competitive pressures push us to deploy human-level or superhuman AIs. Indeed, Neel argues no one approach will guarantee alignment, and our only choice is the “Swiss cheese” model of accident prevention, layering multiple safeguards on top of one another.But while mech interp won't be a silver bullet for AI safety, it has nevertheless had some major successes and will be one of the best tools in our arsenal.For instance: by inspecting the neural activations in the middle of an AI's thoughts, we can pick up many of the concepts the model is thinking about — from the Golden Gate Bridge, to refusing to answer a question, to the option of deceiving the user. While we can't know all the thoughts a model is having all the time, picking up 90% of the concepts it is using 90% of the time should help us muddle through, so long as mech interp is paired with other techniques to fill in the gaps.This episode was recorded on July 17 and 21, 2025.Interested in mech interp?

The reality of disappearing glaciers is no longer a distant phenomenon: back in May, a glacier collapsed, triggering a massive landslide that buried the Swiss village of Blatten. Switzerland finds itself on the front line of global warming. As a result, monitoring has been intensifying in the Alps, where around a hundred remaining glaciers are under increased surveillance. FRANCE 24's Jade Levin reports, with Josh Vardey.

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling The Century-Old Mystery Begins: Early Astronomical Observations Headline: Pioneers Uncover Unseen Gravitational Effects in the Cosmos In 1922, Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn, a Dutch astronomer, was the first to introduce the term "dark matter" in a paper theorizing the arrangement and motion of the sidereal system, realizing unseen matter had gravitational effects within the Milky Way. A decade later, his student, Jan Oort, further identified the Milky Way's rotation and, by studying the up-and-down motions of stars, made an early estimate of dark matter in the galaxy's central plane. Building on this, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed the Coma Cluster in California, using redshift to determine galaxy motions. He concluded there was more mass and gravity than visible, coining the German term "dunkle Materie," meaning "dark matter." These early 20th-century findings laid the groundwork for the ongoing dark matter mystery. 1957

Katie and Steve speak with Swiss art lawyer Florian Schmidt-Gabain about Switzerland's (very) recent establishment of an “Independent Committee for Cultural Property with a Burdened Past” that will hear ownership disputes about Nazi-looted art as well cultural property acquired during the colonial era. They discuss why it has taken the Swiss so long to establish a process like this, the unique role of Switzerland during WWII, the challenges of the mostly voluntary and non-binding process, and the many questions that remain open as implementation unfolds.   Notes for this episode: https://artlawpodcast.com/2025/09/04/switzerland-starts-to-address-cultural-property-with-a-burdened-past/   Follow the Art Law Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artlawpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@artlawpodcast Katie and Steve discuss topics based on news and magazine articles and court filings and not based on original research unless specifically noted.

Join us for the first-ever Ski Moms Book Club and Author Chat with Megan in early October!  Contact us via DM @theskimoms or email for an invitation.In this episode, we welcome Megan Tady, author of the Washington Post noteworthy book "Bluebird Day," which follows a compelling mother-daughter alpine skiing duo in the Swiss Alps. From her journalism roots to becoming a novelist, Megan shares how she crafted an authentic story about competitive skiing despite not being an expert skier herself. Through extensive research, including interviews with Olympic athletes and sports psychologists, she brings depth and authenticity to her characters' experiences on and off the slopes.Megan tells about her personal journey with skiing, from humble beginnings at Nebraski to a transformative (and terrifying) experience on a Swiss glacier that later informed her writing. She discusses how this personal encounter with skiing anxiety helped shape her character development and contributed to the book's exploration of mental health in sports. As a mother of two young children just beginning their skiing journey at Berkshire East, Megan offers insights into balancing family life with creative pursuits and the delicate art of encouraging children in sports while respecting their boundaries. She thoughtfully weaves in broader themes about climate change's impact on winter sports, nature's healing power, and the importance of disconnecting from technology to connect with the outdoors.Keep Up with Megan!Website: www.megantady.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/@megtadyBuy Bluebird Day on AmazonKeep Track of Everything with Mabel's Labels From lunchboxes to water bottles, backpacks to hoodies—Mabel's Labels are durable, waterproof, and mom-approved.

At least until now, that is. Academic and professor of business history at Osaka University, Pierre-Yves Donzé is the author of The Making Of A Status Symbol, A business history of Rolex translated and published in English this year.  We wanted to start our new podcast, The Business of Watches, by talking about the most important Swiss brand, and Donzé serves as an ideal guest, explaining the decisions and events that shaped Rolex into what it is today. The episode is full of revelations, from how Rolex dealt with the business challenges of a strong Swiss franc and the arrival of quartz, to how the brand overtook Omega in sales, and the critical role the U.S. has played in the company's history and success. Thanks so much for listening, and be sure to drop by the comments section if you have any thoughts or questions on the episode.

This week, The CMO Podcast is serving up a rich and flavorful conversation as Jim sits down with Jessica Padula, Vice President of Marketing and Sustainability for Nespresso USA. Nespresso, part of Swiss-based Nestlé, started in the 1980s with one bold idea: that anyone should be able to brew a café-quality coffee at home. Fast forward to today, and that idea has become an $8 billion global brand, with more than 13,000 employees across 81 countries, over 800 boutiques in 500+ cities, and a booming direct-to-consumer business.Jessica has been brewing her own journey at Nespresso for nearly a decade. For the past two and a half years, she's been leading both marketing and sustainability—two roles that blend perfectly like coffee and crema. A Boston University grad, Jessica first cut her teeth on the agency side, working with powerhouse Procter & Gamble brands, before bringing her passion for brand building and purpose to Nespresso.In this lively conversation, Jim and Jessica dive into her career journey, the art of balancing growth with sustainability, and how Nespresso continues to innovate without losing sight of its values. Grab your favorite cup and tune in—it's a coffee talk you won't want to miss.---This week's episode is brought to you by Deloitte.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Nestlé's values and governance are strong foundations of our company."Freixe, a company veteran, was appointed last year to replace CEO Mark Schneider as the maker of Toll House cookies and Nespresso coffee struggled with slowing sales.

It was never my intent to steal away a prized memento from the young fan. I became caught up in the heat of the moment and the joy of the victory, and I believed Majchrzak was handing a hat to me to give to my sons, who had previously asked for autographs.“For years, my wife and I have been involved in supporting children and young athletes, but this incident has shown me that a moment of inattention can undo years of work and support. It is a painful but necessary lesson in humility.“Going forward, I will engage even more actively in initiatives that support children and youth, and I will take actions against violence and hate.

Learn Japanese for Travel! Here's a basic intro to the language and culture in Japan! Head to Japan with Gear from EAGLE CREEK!!! Shop using our affiliate link to support our podcast! Thank you! Ready for your Japanese adventure? Before you pack your bags, let's talk about something crucial that most travelers overlook—understanding Japanese culture as the foundation for learning the language.Our special guest Rahel, who is half-Swiss and half-Japanese, shares invaluable insights from her bicultural perspective. She explains that at the heart of Japanese society lies a deep commitment to community awareness: "Everything is about understanding that my actions, my words will have an effect on the people." This mindset shapes every social interaction, including how language is used.One fascinating revelation is how Japanese people rarely say a direct "no." Instead, they might respond with "at this point, it might not be a good time for this"—a polite buffer that communicates refusal without confrontation. For travelers accustomed to direct communication, recognizing these cultural nuances prevents misunderstandings and demonstrates respect.Rahel guides us through essential phrases like "konnichiwa" (hello), "arigatou gozaimasu" (thank you), "sumimasen" (excuse me/sorry), and "onegaishimasu" (please). Beyond just memorizing words, she emphasizes pronunciation and context, explaining which phrases are appropriate in different situations. Need to find a bathroom or train station? Learn to ask "doko desu ka?" (where is?) after naming what you're looking for.The most powerful takeaway? Japanese people watch visitors closely, looking for intention rather than perfection. They understand when tourists make mistakes but deeply appreciate those who show genuine respect for their culture. By learning even a few phrases and approaching Japan with cultural awareness, you'll transform from just another tourist to a welcomed visitor.Have you started learning phrases for your next international adventure?
