Also, a new report accuses Hamas of using sexual violence as a weapon of war during the October 7th terror attack.

Suiza es seguramente el país más peculiar de Europa. En su interior se hablan cuatro idiomas muy distintos y carece de lengua franca, por lo que los suizos no necesariamente se entienden entre ellos. Carece de salida al mar y debe su existencia a su geografía montañosa y a su posición como tierra de paso. Los Alpes no solo han moldeado su historia, sino que también fomentaron desde tiempos antiguos una fuerte autonomía local en sus valles y la necesidad de alianzas para controlar algunas rutas comerciales de gran importancia como la de San Gotardo. Esta particularidad geográfica sentó las bases de la Confederación Helvética, una entidad política única formada por un alianzas entre comunidades rurales y urbanas para defender sus costumbres y resistir a los invasores aprovechando la protección natural de las montañas. La Confederación Helvética comenzó a formarse con el Pacto Federal de 1291, un acuerdo entre los valles de Uri, Schwyz y Unterwalden para resistir el dominio de los Habsburgo tras la muerte de Rodolfo I. Este pacto, documentado en la Carta Federal, priorizaba la ayuda mutua manteniendo la autonomía de cada comunidad. A partir de ahí la identidad suiza fue fortaleciéndose con relatos míticos como el Juramento de Rütli y la leyenda de Guillermo Tell, que simbolizan la resistencia a la tiranía y la independencia de las gentes de la montaña. Durante los siglos XIV y XV, la Confederación se consolidó con victorias militares contra los Habsburgo, como las batallas de Morgarten, Sempach y Näfels, que afianzaron su autonomía. La incorporación de cantones como Lucerna en 1332, Zúrich en 1351 y Berna en 1353 expandió la Confederación, integrando nuevas regiones, pero siempre con una estructura muy flexible. La Guerra de Suabia en 1499 marcó la independencia de facto del Sacro Imperio Romano, una independencia que llegaría de iure en 1648 con el Tratado de Westfalia. La Reforma Protestante vino apadrinada por Ulrico Zuinglio en Zúrich y Juan Calvino en Ginebra. Dividió la Confederación entre cantones protestantes y católicos, lo que provocó guerras religiosas como las de Kappel. Las tensiones religiosas persistieron hasta las Guerras de Villmergen ya en el siglo XVII, que terminaron con un equilibrio entre ambas confesiones. Lo que evitó la confederación fue enredarse en la Guerra de los Treinta Años. No pudo, sin embargo, impedir la invasión napoleónica en 1798 y la imposición de la República Helvética, un estado centralizado que fracasó estrepitosamente a causa de una rebelión. Napoleón restauró el federalismo con el Acta de Mediación en 1803 con el que se crearon nuevos cantones. El Congreso de Viena en 1815 respetó la independencia suiza a cambio de la neutralidad. En el siglo XIX, las tensiones entre liberales urbanos y conservadores rurales culminaron en la Guerra del Sonderbund en 1847, que llevó de cabeza a la Constitución de 1848. Fue esa constitución la que dio origen a la Suiza actual, un estado confederal moderno muy descentralizado. La neutralidad suiza, probada en las guerras mundiales, fortaleció su papel como gran mediador y como sede de organizaciones internacionales. La democracia directa, con referendos e iniciativas populares, ha garantizado la cohesión en un país multilingüe y muy diverso. Suiza hoy uno de los países más ricos y libres del mundo, un caso de éxito gracias a su capacidad para equilibrar autonomía, unidad y neutralidad.

This is the third part of a monthly, six-episode series celebrating the fact that exactly 40 years ago this year, my family and I spent six months in a striped motorhome travelling around Europe. I was nine years old and yes, this trip had an enormous impact on my life - I'm sure you wouldn't be listening to this podcast today if Van Life 1985 hadn't taken place! Throughout the series, I'll include chats recorded with my Dad this year, extracts from my late Mum's travel diary from 1985, and of course my own memories and thoughts. In this episode, we move on from Italy to Switzerland, where much of our fun involves mountain and snow. Growing up in Western Australia, none of us had any experience with snow, and we were all thrilled to play in the summer snow we found in alpine Switzerland. You need to listen to find out what we wore during these snowy adventures! We then spent time in Austria, and thanks to my Mum's diary we know we had some good times there too - curiously, neither my Dad nor I remember it well. Travel memories are strange! A big thanks to Context Travel for sponsoring this series, and an even bigger thanks to my Dad for agreeing to be part of it.

Guest: Stefan Bolleininger Title: From Zero to One: Creating your Consulting Firm Logo: Be on Quality Telling the story behind Be on Quality, the challenges for you, the way you did grow the business, the things you would do differently cost Sharing also the life of a CEO that did start this project. How many hours are you working, is it easy to disconnect, what are your fears.... AI What's next for Be on Quality Link: Be on Quality: https://www.be-on-quality.com/ Stefan Bolleininger Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-bolleininger-3a717028/ Quick recap Stefan shared his entrepreneurial journey from working in automotive quality management to founding and growing his medical device consulting company, which was later acquired by a French engineering firm and merged with his sister company in Switzerland. Through discussions with Monir about his business experiences, they explored topics including customer relationships, pricing strategies, and the challenges of managing company growth while maintaining quality and communication. Stefan emphasized the importance of taking risks, maintaining industry connections, and leveraging technology while emphasizing the value of human interaction in their field, particularly in the context of his company's recent acquisition and expansion. Next steps Stefan to continue leading Be on Quality through the merger with Volker group. Be on Quality team to expand services, particularly in AI implementation for medical devices and clinical trial areas. Stefan to maintain transparent communication with employees regarding company changes and future plans. Be on Quality to collaborate with sister company Be on Conception in Switzerland on combination products. Stefan to continue balancing work responsibilities with personal time, including occasional “beach visits”. Stefan to maintain regular revenue and project load calculations to mitigate fears about project availability. Stefan to focus on providing value and mentorship to senior consultants and business area leads. Be on Quality team to continue using AI as a tool to enhance work efficiency without replacing human expertise. Summary Journey to Medical Device Consulting Stefan shared his journey from working in automotive quality management to founding his own medical device consulting company, Be on Quality GmbH, after being encouraged by his mentor. He described how he grew the business through referrals and local connections in Nuremberg, where there are approximately 500 medical device companies. Stefan emphasized that taking risks is essential for growth, particularly when transitioning from freelance work to company ownership, and noted that his supportive wife's encouragement was crucial since he was the first entrepreneur in his family. Customer Retention Strategies in Medical Devices Stefan emphasized the importance of maintaining connections and visibility in their industry, highlighting that cold calling and direct knocking do not work effectively. He shared experiences of past customer relationships, including a challenging project where deliverables did not meet the client's expectations, leading to a contract that could not be salvaged. Stefan stressed the need for clear communication and alignment with customer expectations to ensure long-term customer retention, which is crucial in their competitive medical device regulatory market. Monir suggested a mechanism for filtering potential customers with a small initial project to assess compatibility and expectations, which Stefan acknowledged as a useful approach, especially for startups and small companies. Business Growth and Team Dynamics Stefan discussed his business challenges, including a difficult working relationship with a former colleague that led to a split, but emphasized that such challenges are part of growing a company. He reflected on how his company, which started in 2017 and began as a freelance business in 2013, has grown to 27 employees, with his team sometimes advising him to focus on organic growth rather than taking on new projects. Stefan noted that while MDR hasn't significantly accelerated his business, he finds working with technology and engineering companies most comfortable, though his team has expertise across various product types. Client Pricing and Documentation Insights Stefan and Monir discussed pricing challenges with clients, where Stefan noted that while some clients negotiate prices, none have shown negative emotions about pricing. They also discussed the high costs of notified bodies and the importance of creating high-quality technical documentation to reduce review rounds. Stefan shared his perspective as CEO of Be on Quality, revealing he works approximately 50 hours per week and enjoys his job, though he prefers the concept of office time and home time rather than work-life balance. AI's Role in Human Work Stefan shared his professional journey, particularly in housing and installation projects, and expressed concerns about the evolving nature of his role as the company grows. He acknowledged his fear of not being able to provide sufficient mentoring to his colleagues, despite his efforts to maintain a hands-on approach. Stefan also discussed his perspective on artificial intelligence, emphasizing its potential to enhance rather than replace human work, and highlighted the importance of human interaction in their industry. Monir encouraged Stefan to view AI as a tool to assist and inspire, rather than relying on it systematically for all tasks. Strategic Company Acquisition Success Stefan discussed the recent acquisition of his company by a larger partner, which he described as a strategic move to expand services and reach. He emphasized that the decision was made after thorough discussions with his team, who supported the merger despite initial concerns about changes. Stefan highlighted the importance of trust and open communication within the company, which he believes contributed to the successful transition. The acquisition has allowed his company to grow and make a bigger impact, with additional resources and expertise from the partner company.

Episode Description: Reality TV Politics and Breaking NewsWelcome to another episode where we break down the news that's giving off major reality TV vibes - and not in a good way!What We're Covering This Episode:Trade Wars & Economic Drama - Trump's "take it or leave it" tariff ultimatums to 12 countries, with rates hitting up to 70%.

Join us as we make sense of the news that feels more like a reality show that's been renewed for too many seasons.Perfect for your commute, workout, or whenever you need to understand what's really happening behind the headlines.https://linktr.ee/purplepoliticalbreakdown
AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on Caster Semenya's fight against sex eligibility rules for track and field.
Air Date 7/9/2025 It's an old joke that "military intelligence" is a good example of an oxymoron so I just asked an AI chatbot to finish a joke about what a military becomes when they implement artificial intelligence. It said, "an oxymoron squared - or as the generals call it, "strategically enhanced stupidity with a confidence interval of 95%" which is not funny but still managed to be pretty on point regarding the dangers of overconfidence that inevitably follows from the implementation of new technology.

This week, the boys get trippy with the 1980 psychedelic sci-fi transformation drama “Altered States”, a film so divisive that writer Paddy Chayefsky put his three Oscars in a closet and penned his adaptation of his own novel under a pseudonym. The Ken Russell-directed film introduced the film world to William Hurt and let Bob Balaban keep his beard, and it also unleashed Bigfoot on major metropolises. We also revisit F1: The Movie, give some context to the film year 1980, before engaging in our featured conversation. Grab a beer and give us a listen! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

This episode brings together two surveying powerhouses from the great state of Wisconsin - Rich Leaver, LS and Matt O'Rourke, LS - for a deep dive into the future of boundaries (spoiler: they're more important than you think). Rich shares how he went from re-monumenting 3,000 PLS corners in Wisconsin to exploring Switzerland's multi-purpose cadastre system—because why not fix 99% of U.S. surveying problems with chocolate-fueled innovation? Meanwhile, Matt talks about navigating his 24+ years in land surveying, helping a two-person firm grow into a thriving team, and how to keep your cool when dealing with complex right-of-way platting and snowmobiles. Could Swiss-style cadastral systems save U.S. surveyors from a boundary crisis? Rich and Matt say ‘yes'—but it'll take more than chocolate and yodeling to get there! The group tackled bold questions: Should boundaries be classified as critical infrastructure? Are U.S. surveyors ready for a paradigm shift? And what would they say if they only had 60 seconds to pitch cadastral modernization to a governor? (Hint: it involves passion, precision, and maybe a touch of Swiss envy).

In this episode of the Build Show Podcast, our host Matt Risinger sits down with builder, educator, and longtime friend Jordan Smith for a deep dive into one of the most important questions in residential construction today: how do you build high-performance homes without blowing the budget? Drawing from Jordan's real-world experience and his recent video series, the two break down what “attainable high performance” really looks like—focusing on the four key “knobs” builders can turn to control cost: size, complexity, finishes, and labor. Along the way, Matt and Jordan share building science insights, trip stories from their time in Switzerland, and practical advice for designing details that matter more than materials.

What If I Want To Control My Anxiety Holistically?In this episode, Drew and Josh examine tension between wanting to control anxiety through holistic approaches and recognizing when that desire for control becomes part of the problem itself.Key Topics Discussed:The difference between actual control and the illusion of controlHow the wellness and self-optimization industry can exploit anxiety sufferersWhy treating anxiety as a threat teaches your brain to keep the alarm system activatedThe gray area between healthy self-care and anxiety-driven fixing behaviors How to recognize when "wellness" strategies become safety behaviorsImportant Timestamps:00:00 - A listener from Switzerland asks about holistic control strategies and when it feels like she can control things02:30 - Introduction to the control illusion concept04:20 - Drew explains the critical difference between knowing and controlling5:45 - Josh's "why" question - examining motivations behind wellness pursuits8:15- How your threat response learns from your control behaviors11:45- Personal stories: Josh's magnesium bath experience and Drew's supplement journey14:30 - The meditation paradox - using mindfulness as exposure vs. control16:00- Drew's mini-rant about the billion-dollar wellness industry21:15 - Did It Anyway: A listener's birthday triumph (train, crowds, and dating)22:30- The Dr. Oz example of entertainment vs. medicine31:45- The compatibility question: Can you pursue both control and acceptance?35:00- Josh's "willful tolerance" exercise39:00 - Did It Anyway: A listener conquers their emetophobia podcast fear41:00 - First official announcement of the upcoming "Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety" bookKey TakeawaysThe episode emphasizes that while basic wellness practices may be helpful, using them as anxiety control strategies often backfires.

The UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused dozens of companies of being complicit in war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank in a UN report. They include arms producers, manufacturers whose vehicles are used to demolish homes, technology companies and banks. Israel rejects the charge of genocide and has called the report groundless, defamatory and a flagrant abuse of office. We'll hear from the report's author Francesca Albanese. Also on the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill is heading for a final vote in the US House of Representatives - we'll have the latest from Washington; and astronomers have discovered only the third known object to enter our solar system from interstellar space.
