Podcasts about Switzerland

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast 735! This is the second part of our Montblanc and Minerva mini-series, recorded after a visit to the Minerva atelier in Switzerland. This episode... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #735 : We Go Watch Making! appeared first on Scottish Watches.

This episode explores the work of the Roger Federer Foundation through a conversation with Maya Ziswiler, Chief Executive Officer, focusing on early childhood education, prevention-focused philanthropy, and long-term systems change. Maya explains how the Foundation works to give children a better start in life through early and foundational learning, with the majority of its work concentrated in Southern Africa and a growing portfolio in Switzerland. In Southern Africa, the Foundation partners closely with governments and locally rooted organisations across six countries to strengthen school readiness and early learning systems. In Switzerland, it is developing an approach that uses movement to strengthen body and mind, with an emphasis on preventing mental health challenges later in life. A central theme of the discussion is the Foundation's data-driven School Readiness Initiative, including tablet-based learning kiosks and the Child Steps assessment tool. These tools support teachers, simplify reporting, and generate actionable data for decision making at school, regional, and national levels. Key milestones include nationwide adoption of the assessment tool in Zimbabwe and the handover of programme implementation to government authorities in parts of South Africa. The conversation also covers the Foundation's strategic transition, with a new strategy to be launched in early 2026. Maya reflects on the shift from a single flagship solution towards an early learning continuum, the importance of partnerships, and the role of catalytic funding in strengthening an underfunded sector. The episode also traces Maya's leadership journey from the private sector to UNICEF, UBS Optimus Foundation, and now the Roger Federer Foundation, alongside the opportunities and challenges of leading a foundation associated with a global sporting icon. Fun fact: The conversation is conducted by Alberto Lidji, former CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, who interviews the CEO of the Roger Federer Foundation, offering a distinctive and collegial backdrop.

Ambika Wauters is back to share her insights on her latest work, the Life Energy Medicine Bible. We dive into the base chakra, exploring how it affects grounding, stability, and even ancestral trauma. She reflects on her own journey, the mentors who shaped her work, and the importance of trusting your own intuition. Throughout the conversation, she shares thoughtful guidance on listening to yourself and finding what truly works for your personal healing journey. Episode Highlights: 06:07 - Ambika's Journey with the Life Energy Medicine Bible 13:23 - Emotional Triggers That Activate Root Chakra Imbalances 15:18 - The Danger of Skipping Energetic Foundations 19:11 - Connection between grounding in the root chakra and spiritual development 27:59 - Flower Essences for Root Chakra 29:51 - Why letting your child decide is more powerful than you think 31:46 - The importance of making informed choices 37:53 - Personal story about the importance of listening to one's inner voice and intuition 40:49 - Navigating AI and Reality 42:44 - Ambika's recorded classes available for purchase 57:16 - Ambika's Free Meditation About my Guests: Ambika's path as a healer grew from decades of study, exploration, and hands-on clinical practice across multiple continents. Trained first as an artist at the Royal College of Art in London, she later found her way naturally into the healing arts, studying bioenergetic psychotherapy in Spain, dance with Gabrielle Roth, and Shintaido Martial Arts in San Francisco. Her love for classical homeopathy led her to the UK, where she completed her studies at The School of Homeopathic Medicine in North Yorkshire and became a member of both the UK and US Society of Homeopaths. In 1997, she returned to the United States to establish The Institute of Life Energy Medicine, offering classes on homeopathy, soul psychology, and creative healing—courses she taught for 15 years and now makes available online. Her journey has taken her through Europe, Africa, and India, deepening both her spiritual understanding and her healing work. She studied archetypes at the Carl Jung Institute in Switzerland, earned a master's degree in fine arts, and spent many years living in Spain and the UK. Among her most meaningful experiences were her visits to India to learn from her teacher, Sadguru HLW Poonja, who opened her heart to her higher purpose, encouraged her writing, and gave her the name Ambika, meaning “Universal Mother.” Today, she continues to nurture her inner peace through meditation and lives a joyful, grounded life in Tucson, Arizona.

My cohost and fellow activist Melody Paris interviews me (Carrie Freeman) about the Animal-Free Research Foundation conference talk in Switzerland that I gave this fall, titled: "Unwilling, Unconsenting, and Unnecessary Research Subjects: Addressing Anthropocentric Bias in Journalistic Coverage Legitimizing the (Ab)Use of other Animals in Research." We discuss sociocultural and structural barriers to fair coverage of anti-vivisection and animal-free research alternatives, as well as guidelines from me and Deb Merskin's AnimalsandMedia.org website that apply to improving journalistic coverage of the animal research issue, and examples of common research-oriented news stories and how good journalism could facilitate a needed transition to modern, ethical alternatives to researching on unwilling and inappropriate subjects; regarding the news topics Melody and I have observed over our decades as animal advocates, we include coverage of the Free Wenka campaign against Emory's Yerkes primate lab, recent stories like the poor monkeys who escaped a lab truck crash in Louisiana only to be gunned down by cops and citizens, coverage of how tax dollars could be spent on more effective and innovative animal-free medical research, and how sanctuary stories can help us see what's wrong with experimentation on our animal kin (like profiles of residents at the Project Chimp sanctuary for chimpanzees retired from labs). This is a 57-minute taping of a live radio show that aired Nov 19, 2025 at the Radio Free Georgia studios. "In Tune to Nature" is a weekly hour-long radio show airing Wednesdays at 6pm Eastern Time on 89.3FM-Atlanta radio and streaming worldwide on wrfg.org (Radio Free Georgia, a nonprofit indie station) hosted by me, Carrie Freeman, or friend Melody Paris.

When Jen Simonic and Masey Kaplan's friend lost her mother, she had the challenge of going through her mother's things while grieving her loss. Among her posessions was something almost every crafter has at least one of: a work in progress. Jen and Masey had each finished projects for bereaved family members before, but neither of them could take on this one, a pair of crocheted blankets for two very tall sons. If the two of them were happy to finish a loved one's unfinished craft project, they thought, other fiber artists would be willing to do it, too—fiber artists with a variety of craft skills. And there must be families of deceased crafters who weren't lucky to know someone personally who could take on the task but would treasure having a finished item that their loved one began for them. So began Loose Ends (https://looseends.org/), an organization that Jen and Masey think of as matchmakers for heirs and finishers of uncompleted works, Loose Ends, which was established in May 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, set out to build a network that connects volunteer crafters with local families to complete projects that were left unfinished by death or disability. Hanging flyers near their homes, Jen and Masey quickly found finishers and projects in crochet, knitting, and quilting. Loose Ends currently seeks finishers in any textile handcraft and matches finishers with projects across the world. Projects under way include weaving, embroidery, and beading, as far afield as Alaska, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Their informational flyer is now available in 12 languages. You may be surprised to learn that for about 2,000 projects in process, 25,000 volunteers have signed up as finishers—so crafters far outnumber craft projects at this time. But Loose Ends is always looking for more volunteer finishers, both to cover a variety of crafts and to match families with nearby finishers when possible. Any of us who love making things with our hands hate to think of our work in progress going to waste, languishing in boxes or (worse) winding up in the trash if we're not able to finish them ourselves. By matching finishers and unfinished works, Loose Ends brings solace to families of deceased crafters and honors the work of their loved ones. Links: Loose Ends Project website (https://looseends.org/) Sign up as a finisher or request help with a loved one's project on the web forms (https://app.looseendsproject.org/). Help families and finishers find Loose Ends by hanging flyers (https://looseends.org/flyers), which are available in several languages.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.

Send us a textWe are back from hiatus and diving straight into the high-stakes world of Industry Season 3, Episode 3, "It." Join former Morgan Stanley investment bankers Jen and Kristen as we decode the finance behind the drama at the COP climate conference in Switzerland. In this episode, we break down the hypocrisy of ESG investing, the regulatory "Chinese Wall" between equity research and investment banking, and why pressuring an analyst for a buy rating isn't just frowned upon—it's illegal. We also analyze the mechanics of Petra and Harper's rogue attempt to launch a new "Leviathan" fund, fact-checking everything from non-compete clauses to Harper's strategic lie about being a former "trader" rather than a salesperson.Beyond the balance sheets, we dig into the psychological horror of the episode—from Eric's glitter-covered spiral into a midlife crisis to the trauma-bonding between Yasmin and Henry Muck. We discuss the nuances of "dad trauma," the reality of IPO lockup periods, and the cringe-worthy dynamics of pitching a non-ESG fund at a climate summit. We also explore the literary references to King Lear and Leviathan that foreshadow the power struggle between Harper, Petra, and the wealthy Otto Mostyn.Finally, we debate the double meaning of the episode title "It"—is it a reference to Stephen King horror, or simply who has the "It factor" to survive on Wall Street? We wrap up by delivering our Bullish and Bearish takes on the cast, deciding who is playing the long game and who is about to fold. Whether you're here for the technical breakdown of hedge fund marketing or the messy workplace drama, we've got the skinny on what's real and what's just Hollywood.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

In Part 2 of the Hilde Lynn Helphenstein (Jerry Gogosian) conversation, the discussion turns raw, vulnerable, and deeply structural. Hilde speaks candidly about burnout, public vilification, online pile-ons, and the emotional cost of living as a persona inside an unforgiving attention economy. She describes losing followers overnight, being labeled with extreme political accusations, and watching the art world take visible pleasure in her public failures while remaining silent during her successes. She recounts the personal toll of constant media exposure, professional pressure, and economic precarity: marriage collapse, total exhaustion, and a year-long withdrawal from work following multiple suicide attempts. Jerry, she explains, has evolved from a meme engine into a living, walking performance — where even the most banal moments of daily life become content whether she wants them to or not. The episode confronts what it means to live as a meme in a broken matrix of attention, validation, and misrecognition. The conversation pivots into economics and geography. Drawing on her business school training, Hilde walks through quantitative tightening, interest rates, the collapse of NFTs and crypto, and the bursting of the 2022 speculative bubble. She frames art explicitly as a Veblen good — a luxury asset that fails first when the economy tightens. She argues forcefully that New York is no longer an artist city, but a financialized transaction hub. Instead, she advocates for artists to relocate to affordable cities like Chicago or even small towns, building localized collector bases rather than chasing validation from elite centers. What emerges is a sharp, pragmatic model of survival: cultivate 12 lifelong collectors, embrace regional ecosystems, make work for people you actually live with, and stop imagining museum permanence as the only measure of success. Hilde rejects the mythology of infinite institutional validation, arguing instead for circulation, use, disposal, and lived attachment. The episode closes on the tension between speculation and sustainability, between global markets and local communities, and between career branding and genuine artistic life.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin takes you deep into one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for modern privacy and asset protection: the Anonymous LLC. Also known as a “Ghost LLC,” this structure allows you to legally own property, businesses, and assets without your personal name appearing on public records. Forrest explains how data brokers, trial lawyers, and even online stalkers use state business registries to track ownership, target individuals, and uncover wealth. Then he shows how Anonymous LLCs provide a legal firewall between you and your holdings — protecting your family, your finances, and your freedom. You'll learn which states offer the strongest privacy laws (like Wyoming and New Mexico), how registered agents keep your identity off public filings, and how to layer your LLCs for maximum protection. This episode also uncovers the biggest mistakes people make when setting up “anonymous” entities — from using the wrong address or email to accidentally revealing ownership through tax or payment records. Forrest walks you through how to do it the right way, step-by-step. At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches both the Disappear on the Internet course — a complete 25-hour guide to wiping your digital footprint — and his exclusive How to Create an Anonymous LLC course, which walks you through building and managing a true privacy protected business entity. Both courses are available now at GarvinAcademy.com. Because in today's world, privacy and security are freedom — and if your name is tied to everything you own, you don't truly own anything at all. Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world's most trusted encrypted email service. Built in Switzerland and protected by some of the world's strongest privacy laws, Proton Mail ensures your data stays yours—always.

Europe was the first major region to roll out a comprehensive crypto framework, but now it's rethinking how that framework is enforced.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we break down the European Union's proposal to centralize crypto supervision under the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), a move that would shift oversight of crypto-asset service providers away from national regulators and toward a single EU-level authority.To understand what's happening on the ground, we speak with Dr. Lewin Boehnke, chief strategy officer at Crypto Finance Group, who offers a rare perspective from both Switzerland's mature crypto market and the EU's newly regulated one. He explains why MiCA's overall approach makes sense, where technical details are slowing adoption and why centralizing supervision under ESMA could actually help reduce friction rather than create it.(1:55) Europe moves to centralize crypto oversight under ESMA (4:58) Why MiCA's rollout has been slow, and why that's not surprising(5:24) Switzerland's head start on institutional crypto adoption(6:38) Why MiCA's focus on regulating intermediaries makes sense(7:48) The MiCA Article 75.6 ambiguity slowing banks down(9:09) Why Europe's quieter regulatory approach may be a long-term strength(10:13) Uneven MiCA enforcement across Germany, Luxembourg, and Malta(12:26) What Europe should prioritize in crypto regulation over the next yearThis episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a myriad of transformative advancements and strategic shifts within these industries, illustrating the profound impact of innovation and regulatory changes on healthcare.Eli Lilly's recent strides in obesity treatment highlight a significant scientific breakthrough with their novel drug, retatrutide. Currently in phase 3 trials, this triple agonist targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, achieving an extraordinary 28.7% weight loss in participants. Additionally, it demonstrated a 75.8% reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain. Yet, the journey to this milestone wasn't without challenges. The trials saw a higher discontinuation rate than earlier studies, reminding us of the delicate balance between efficacy and patient tolerability—a consistent theme in obesity pharmacotherapy as developers strive to maximize benefits while minimizing adverse effects.In a testament to the global nature of drug development, Zealand Pharma has embarked on a $2.5 billion collaboration with a burgeoning Chinese biotech firm. This partnership aims to advance oral cardiometabolic therapies, underscoring the crucial role of strategic alliances in accessing innovative scientific platforms and expanding market reach.Rezolute faced a significant setback with a disappointing phase 3 trial for its hypoglycemia treatment, resulting in an 87% drop in stock value. This starkly illustrates biotech's inherent volatility and the critical importance of robust clinical trial design to mitigate financial risks associated with unsuccessful outcomes.Meanwhile, Moderna is leveraging Nanexa's expertise in long-acting formulations to enhance injectable therapy delivery systems. This collaboration is indicative of a broader industry trend focused on optimizing drug delivery technologies to boost efficacy and patient compliance.Operational restructuring is also evident as Pfizer implements cost-cutting measures, including layoffs in Switzerland, as part of broader strategic initiatives to optimize operations amid rising R&D costs and pricing pressures. Simultaneously, Chris Boulton's transition from Amgen to Prolynx underscores the fluid movement of talent within the industry—a reflection of ongoing strategic realignments.Regulatory landscapes are shifting as well. The FDA's approval of the first non-drug at-home treatment for depression marks an expansion into alternative therapeutic modalities beyond traditional pharmaceuticals. This wearable device offers adults with major depressive disorder a novel treatment option, integrating technology into mental health care—a promising addition to holistic treatment strategies.In another significant regulatory update, Teva Pharmaceuticals agreed to delist numerous patents from the FDA's Orange Book following an FTC ruling. This move is anticipated to foster increased generic competition and potentially lower medication costs for conditions like asthma and diabetes—a critical shift towards greater market accessibility.The FDA has also finalized guidance on promotional materials for biologics and biosimilars, standardizing advertising practices to ensure accurate representation of these products' efficacy and safety profiles amidst an expanding biologics market.Moreover, the FDA has launched its Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Pilot Review Program to expedite critical drug approvals. The first beneficiary under this program was USAntibiotics with Augmentin XR, signaling a potential shift towards more rapid access to essential medications.On the international policy front, recent developments between the UK and US have led to reductions in medicine rebate rates within the UK. This adjustment could lead to increased spending on new medicines, indicating more favorable conditions for pharmaceutical Support the show

Send us a textDr Martina Zangger's story is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery after childhood sexual abuse, and her message, that shame must be taken from the victim and placed on the perpetrator.Abused at just four years old in Switzerland by her grandfather, a respected judge, and her uncle, a well-known politician, Martina grew up shrouded in silence.Moving to Australia at 12 years old, In her search for healing, Martina fell in love with an Indian guru at 18 years old, and was invited as a mail order disciple to live in his cult in the U.S, provided she paid $8000 for the privilege. So desperate to get to her guru, and with few skills she was talked into becoming a sex worker in Darlinghurst, Sydney at just 19. She eventually made enough money to go to the Ashram but unfortunately all was not what it seemed in 'the brochure!' She was subjected to exploitation and hard labour. Her journey from trauma to survival is confronting but deeply inspiring.Today, Martina holds a PhD, is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, and has spent over 20 years working on the frontline with women and children impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. This is an AMAZING episode!Support the show

A 32-year-old woman in Switzerland underwent an unnecessary surgery after her lab sample was mixed up at Basel University Hospital. Doctors believed she had cervical cancer. She didn't — but the procedure went ahead anyway, potentially affecting her ability to carry a pregnancy in the future. In this Mistake of the Week, Mark Graban unpacks how such devastating but preventable errors happen — and why “being careful” isn't a real safeguard. Drawing on past lab mix-ups he's written about, Mark explores how system design, workload pressure, and weak error-proofing make these tragedies almost inevitable. This isn't about bad people or careless workers. It's about fragile systems — and how hospitals can build processes that catch mistakes before they reach the patient. Because real safety starts with learning, not blaming.

Send us a textAnonymous LLCs — Separating Your Name from Your AssetsIn this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin takes you deep into one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for modern privacy and asset protection: the Anonymous LLC. Also known as a “Ghost LLC,” this structure allows you to legally own property, businesses, and assets without your personal name appearing on public records.Forrest explains how data brokers, trial lawyers, and even online stalkers use state business registries to track ownership, target individuals, and uncover wealth. Then he shows how Anonymous LLCs provide a legal firewall between you and your holdings — protecting your family, your finances, and your freedom. You'll learn which states offer the strongest privacy laws (like Wyoming and New Mexico), how registered agents keep your identity off public filings, and how to layer your LLCs for maximum protection.This episode also uncovers the biggest mistakes people make when setting up “anonymous” entities — from using the wrong address or email to accidentally revealing ownership through tax or payment records. Forrest walks you through how to do it the right way, step-by-step.At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches both the Disappear on the Internet course — a complete 25-hour guide to wiping your digital footprint — and his exclusive How to Create an Anonymous LLC course, which walks you through building and managing a true privacy protected business entity. Both courses are available now at GarvinAcademy.com.Because in today's world, privacy and security are freedom — and if your name is tied to everything you own, you don't truly own anything at all.Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world's most trusted encrypted email service.

In this reflective and practical episode of the Big Careers, Small Children podcast, Leaders Plus Interim COO Helen Fraser speaks with Rupert Brown, author of Lost in Transformation and Leaders Plus Senior Leader Mentor.Rupert has spent much of his career leading people change in multinational organisations, including international assignments in Switzerland, Singapore, Denmark and Dubai, while raising two children abroad. He shares what he has learned about making big career decisions when family needs change, leading transformation with more humanity, and staying honest with yourself in the middle of corporate upheaval.Drawing on his experience working with people and culture, he shares the moment his teenagers asked why the family was “doing lockdown in the desert,” the family's return to the UK, and how the sudden death of his father and his employer's response reshaped his view of leadership and empathy.Together, they explore✔️ How Rupert and his family navigated multiple international moves, and why their teenagers' voices were central to the decision to come back to the UK for more stability.✔️ What really happens to family life and career confidence when work and location decisions stop being “just” the parents' choices.✔️ Why he believes many corporate change programmes ignore basic psychology and the lived experience of the people affected, and what drew him to write Lost in Transformation.✔️ Rupert's PIE model: performance, image and exposure, and why hard work alone is rarely enough for progression, especially for working parents with limited time.✔️ What the death of his father taught him about principle based policies, bereavement leave, and the quiet power of simple, human responses from leaders in moments of grief.What you'll learn in this episode

Switzerland's Military Space Strategy Explained - with Colonel GS Ludovic MonneratIn this episode of Space Cafe Radio, host Torsten Kriening talks with Ludovic Monnerat about Switzerland's comprehensive military space concept (Gesamtkonzeption Weltraum) and its implications for Swiss security and European cooperation. They discuss the distinction between data and intelligence, the evolution of Switzerland's space strategy, and the critical role of space-based assets in national defense. Col Monnerat explains why Switzerland, a traditionally neutral country, has been shaping its strategic thinking and military doctrine in response to global space developments. He provides insights into Switzerland's collaborations with other nations and commercial entities, the development of autonomous space capabilities, and the balance between neutrality and the necessity of defensive measures in space.Guest:Colonel GS Ludovic Monnerat is the designated Commander of the recently created Swiss Space Command. Col GS Monnerat launched this initiative 10 years ago with the aim of establishing sovereign and dual operational capabilities in space. He was previously in charge of medium- and long-term planning at the Joint Operations Command and responsible for operational training. Prior to that, he was head of the special operations section of the Joint Operations Command's staff for 8 years.Space Café Radio brings you talks, interviews, and reports from the team of SpaceWatchers while out on the road.

Swiss central bankers are being forced to choose between negative interest rates and negative consumer prices by the increasingly negative direction of the globally synchronized system.

One of the most complex medical, ethical, moral, and religious questions of our era is that of physician-assisted suicide—also known as Medical Aid in Dying, or MAID. Eleven U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have legalized some form of MAID for terminally ill patients. And New York might join them. Over the summer, a Medical Aid in Dying Act passed New York's state legislature. It is now sitting on Governor Kathy Hochul's desk as she decides whether to sign it into law. Under the proposed New York bill, terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live would be able to access a prescribed, self-administered life-ending medication. Supporters argue that this is a compassionate option—one that can relieve people of immense pain and suffering, allowing patients to choose when and where they die, and to do so surrounded by loved ones. Opponents see this as a violation of physicians' fundamental oath to do no harm. They also worry that while access may begin narrowly, it could expand over time to include people seeking death for reasons other than terminal illness—such as mental suffering or simply a desire to stop living. Cases like this have already occurred in Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, and Switzerland. Rafaela Siewert sat down with two experts who see this topic very differently for a heated debate. David Hoffman is a healthcare attorney, clinical ethicist, and professor of bioethics at Columbia University. He argues that hypothetical future abuses of MAID shouldn't outweigh the needs of terminal patients who need this option now. Dr. Lydia Dugdale is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University. In her view, legalizing this practice of physician-assisted suicide risks undermining the responsibilities of governments, medical systems, and families to care for the mentally ill, the poor, and the physically disabled. And she fears that the potential for excessively expanded access over time is too great. We are among the many Americans who do not know what the right answer is. We see both sides—which is why grappling with the nuances of this subject is so important. This is a debate you won't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Tuesday, December 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 48 Christians A wave of deadly attacks in the Southern Taraba State in Nigeria resulted in the deaths of 48 Christians and hundreds of homes were reduced to ashes. Religious leaders point to Muslim terrorists as freely killing, without any intervention from the Nigerian military. In an article by TruthNigeria.com, one resident said, “We made calls to the Nigerian military, but the personnel refused to pick up. Later, they switched off their phones.”  Shockingly, Nigeria's former Chief of Defense Staff, General Lucky Irabor, recently confirmed in a news interview that certain Nigerian politicians have been financing terror in the country. Major Japanese earthquake Japan just experienced its most severe earthquake in 10 years, reports The Guardian.   According to The Independent, 23 people were injured. Yesterday's tremor hit the northern part of Honshu, registering 7.6 on the Richter scale. Japanese economy struggling Japan's economy is also taking a hit — a 2.3% annualized decline in its Gross National Product last quarter. This would be Japan's first recessionary trend since 2020. The nation's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, promises more government spending with a $110 billion stimulus package to fix the problem. Japanese elderly dying without known relatives Increasingly, Japan's elderly are dying without any known relatives or family relationships. This is measured by unclaimed inheritances.   Disturbingly, about $1 billion of unclaimed assets from elderly men and women, who have passed away, reverted to the Japanese federal treasury in 2024, reports The Japan Times.  That's four times the amount in 2013.  Above all, Japan needs the Gospel.  In the words of Ephesians 2:11-12,  “Remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh … were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.” Cambodia and Thailand back at war As of yesterday morning, Cambodia is back at war with Thailand, following a Trump-brokered peace agreement, reports Nation of Thailand. Thailand's air force is targeting Cambodia's military operations. Russia-Ukrainian peace plan  delayed again There remains a disconnect between the United States and Europe on the Ukraine war resolution.   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer yesterday and clarified that there was still no deal on the U.S. proposal of land swaps in Russia's favor.  China controls First World countries by lending money Now, the Chinese government has set out to control nations by loans and grants — all of which have strings attached.  That's the essence of a report from AidData.org.   Chinese loan commitments are extending into First World countries, of which the United States tops the list — followed by Australia, Russia, Venezuela, Pakistan, Angola, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Chinese state-owned lenders have opened up about $1 trillion of credit to high-income countries, with the United States leading the pack as the largest debtor to China. According to the report, “China remains the world's largest official creditor, lending approximately $140 billion to public sector and private sector borrowers around the globe in 2023.”   Proverbs 22:7 warns, “The debtors are servants to the lenders.” Trump cut $600 million from “family planning” groups The Trump administration cut $600 million this year from various international groups' family planning budgets.   This cut was quickly compensated for by the Gates Foundation, which recently announced another $2.5 billion to the program.  30-somethings are 10% less likely to own a home A new report finds that 30-somethings here in the United States are drawn to risky investments like Bitcoin, but less likely to buy homes. The report projected that young folks, born in the 1990s, would have a home ownership rate that will be 10% lower, upon their retirement, than their parents' generation.  Home affordability is affecting the younger buyers. Samaritan's Purse sending 12 million children Christmas gifts And finally, Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child is well under way toward collecting 12 million shoe boxes containing toys, necessities, and the Gospel message for children in 100 countries around the world.  That's up from 9 million shoe boxes filled in 2020. A vision inspired by Franklin Graham, Operation Christmas Child got started in 1993, when the organization distributed 28,000 shoe box gifts to children in the Balkans in southeastern Europe. Since then, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 232 million gift-filled shoe boxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories. For late comers, there are 8 processing centers still open around the country to receive the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes -- in Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, and Charlotte, North Carolina.

What happens when a certified massage therapist discovers that everything she learned about healing is missing the most critical piece? Meg Lamm joined the More Than Mindset Show to share her raw, unfiltered journey from following Kim's work for years, to finally committing to coach training, to becoming a six-figure relationship coach who helps high-achievers transform their communication patterns. In this episode, you'll discover: 1️⃣ Why Meg followed Kim for years but couldn't figure out the coaching methodology just by watching 2️⃣ The pivotal moment when Meg realized she was coaching (and invalidating) everyone in her life 3️⃣ How the first rule of sales training transformed every single relationship in her life 4️⃣ The shocking physical manifestation that happened 3 weeks before her dream Switzerland trip 5️⃣ Why treating physical symptoms keeps you stuck in the same pattern 6️⃣ The exact moment Meg's debilitating knee pain disappeared after one coaching session 7️⃣ How raising rates by 30% led to her biggest revenue year ever (even after child support ended) 8️⃣ Why trying to "figure it out yourself" is actually self-sabotage in disguise  Key Transformation Moments: The Relationship Breakthrough: Meg shares how being trained as a coach actually damaged her relationships at first—because she was trying to coach her kids, her mom, and her partner without their consent. Learn why "I know something you don't know" creates dangerous separation and how she rebuilt trust by stopping the unsolicited coaching. The Physical Manifestation: Three weeks before her solo trip to Switzerland (a 12-year dream), both of Meg's knees blew out simultaneously. She couldn't walk up stairs. She was convinced it was a meniscus tear. But here's what happened when she trusted the mind-body process instead of seeking physical treatment. The Business Transformation: From massage therapist terrified to raise her rates to hiring someone to handle her overflow clients while transitioning to full-time coaching. Meg reveals the internal identity shift required to scale beyond trading time for money.

The Author Events Series presents Nicholas Boggs | Baldwin: A Love Story In Conversation with Rachel L. Swarns Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic- and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence. Nicholas Boggs was an undergraduate when he discovered James Baldwin's out-of-print children's book, Little Man, Little Man: A Story of Childhood, in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. After he tracked down its illustrator, the French artist Yoran Cazac, he went on to coedit an acclaimed new edition of the book in 2018. His writing has also been anthologized in The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin, James Baldwin Now, and Speculative Light: The Arts of Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin. He is the recipient of a 2023 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Beinecke Library and Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale, the Schomburg Center Scholars-in-Residence Program, and the National Humanities Center, as well as residencies at Yaddo and MacDowell. He received his BA in English from Yale, his MFA in creative writing from American University, and his PhD in English from Columbia. Born and raised in Washington, DC, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel L. Swarns is a journalist, author and associate professor of journalism at New York University, who writes about race and history as a contributing writer for The New York Times. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Society of American Historians and her work has been recognized and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, the Leon Levy Center for Biography, the Biographers International Organization and others. Her latest book, The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church, was published by Random House.

Correspondent Lesley Stahl sits down with political lightning rod Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in her first interview since abruptly announcing her resignation from Congress. Back in Greene's Georgia district, Stahl talks with the longtime Donald Trump loyalist about her fractured relationship with the president, the state of the America First movement and whether Greene's reinvention is a genuine evolution or a strategic reset that positions her for a post-Trump world. Amid growing concerns about artificial intelligence's impact on young people and a surge of child-safety lawsuits, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi investigates the next frontier: AI chatbots. She speaks with parents who lost their daughter to suicide, who say chatbots on the popular platform Character AI led her down a dark and sexually explicit path. She also hears from researchers and a psychologist who further reveal the scale – and dangers – of what's unfolding inside this rapidly growing AI technology. Correspondent Jon Wertheim travels to Switzerland's Vallée de Joux – known as “Watch Valley” – where top brands have been refining the art of mechanical watchmaking for centuries. It's a curious time for luxury timepieces, which run – not on batteries – but on springs and gears, as the industry navigates the smartphone era and the ups and downs of President Trump's tariffs. Wertheim meets watchmakers and brand leaders and gets an up-close look at what keeps these mechanical wonders ticking.

We hear about an extraordinary story of love, friendship and a teenage promise fulfilled over a decade later. When Georgia Barrington was told, at the age of 15, that she'd been born without a womb, she thought her dreams of having a baby were over. So her best friend, Daisy Hope, promised she would one day act as her surrogate. Years later, after having her daughter, she reminded her friend of that offer -- and a few weeks ago gave birth to Georgia's baby girl. The women say it's given them a bond like no other. Also: how the traditionally male world of yodelling is being given a modern, feminist twist. Switzerland's new yodel choirs aim to bring people from all backgrounds together and connect them through song. The world-famous Chinese pianist, Lang Lang, talks about the healing power of music. His charitable foundation runs concerts and creative workshops for children struggling with physical or mental health issues or grief.

The Limits of AI and the Global Quantum Race: Colleague Brandon Weichert explains that current AI models are data crunchers rather than thinking entities, facing limits known as "The Bitter Lesson," while China is "nanoseconds" away from practical quantum computing aimed at decrypting military communications, with Switzerland and Singapore also pursuing sovereign quantum capabilities to ensure digital independence.
