Autumn arrives with rain, causing orange alert for strong storms in Balearic Islands and yellow alert in Catalonia, Asturias, and Cantabria, while temperatures drop across Spain. The UN General Assembly discusses the Palestinian conflict; the UK, Australia, and Canada recognize the Palestinian state, a symbolic gesture France might follow. This recognition, urged by Spain, aims to pressure Israel to end its Gaza campaign, which is intensifying as the second anniversary of Hamas's attack approaches. International solidarity with Israel diminishes due to military excesses, despite internal criticism against Netanyahu. The recognition of Palestine faces viability issues due to its divided territory, partly controlled by Hamas. Sánchez uses the term “genocidio” for political gain, diverting attention from domestic problems like legislative paralysis, boycotts from Junts and Podemos, and corruption scandals. Economically, Spain's housing crisis es a structural problem, not solved by ...

GM EXTENDS EV LEASE INCENTIVES THROUGH YEAR-END GM will extend EV lease incentives for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac through December 31, protecting deals signed before September 30 despite the federal tax credit expiry. The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes. PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONS Porsche's Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option. 35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVS Renault UK's survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government's Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault's EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495. EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITY Escalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram's pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs. TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTION Tesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber's network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla's Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”. TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITS Tesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla's self-driving technology, which is central to the company's trillion-dollar valuation narrative. MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARK Munich Airport opened Bavaria's largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power. The €5.2 million project gives passengers 138 accessible EV chargers and supports broader adoption in Germany. EV REALTY BUILDS TRUCK CHARGING HUBS EV Realty is addressing grid limitations for electric trucks by building multi-fleet fast-charging hubs in California, using proprietary software to optimize site selection near industrial centers. The company raised $75 million for expansion, modelling its facilities after data centers and targeting hundreds of megawatts of unused grid capacity. SPAIN 2025 GRID AND EV CHARGING Spain's surging EV adoption in 2025 is stressing the nation's power grid, with current charging sites capable of 1–3 MW but future upgrades needed for heavy-duty vehicles and rural coverage. Experts warn grid upgrades must precede mass charge point rollouts to avoid bottlenecks as demand grows. ICELAND NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS RISE, EVS LEAD Iceland's new car registrations jumped 28% year-on-year, mostly driven by rental companies, with 80% of sales classified as “new energy” vehicles. Fully electric cars accounted for a third of registrations, hybrids 24%, plug-in hybrids 21%, and petrol/diesel just 20%. U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWS U.S. EV charging infrastructure growth slowed to 19% in the past year, even as demand rises, and total charging output increased 52%. A survey found 53% of U.S. respondents cited lacking charging access as the biggest barrier to EV adoption. UK PLANS £500M SOUTHAMPTON EV TERMINAL ABP plans a £500 million electric vehicle terminal at Southampton to handle surging imports of Chinese EVs, projecting over 100,000 vehicles in 2026—20% of UK car trade through the port. Expansion plans include multi-storey storage, new berths, and capacity to meet demand, as the UK takes a more open approach than the EU or US on Asian EV imports.
Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast
Last week I had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the IMBA Europe Summit in Boltaña, in the heart of the Pyrenees in Spain (a GORGEOUS riding area). In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways, how new research shows E-MTBs change riding behavior and keep more people riding longer, and why mountain biking is much more than just “send-it” culture. From inspiring projects in Nepal, Bhutan, and schools worldwide, to women like Manon Carpenter, Evelyn from Dutch Girls on Wheels, and many others leading the way — this summit left me hopeful and excited about a more inclusive future for MTB. Fact is: Trails connect us. Skills empower us. And inclusion sustains us. Here's the "Neuroscience of MTB Skills Practice" Video I talk about in this episode.

Mayrhofer, on behalf of the California Historical Association, Native Sons of the Golden West, Native Daughters of the Golden West, and The San Diegans. The flag is composed of three vertical bars, from left to right, red, white and gold. In the center white field is the official seal of the City and beneath it the date "1542," the year explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first entered San Diego Bay and claimed the area for Spain. The use of the three vertical bars is reminiscent of the colors of the flag of Spain, which flew over Cabrillo's ship. Official City of San Diego Seal The official seal of the City of San Diego consists of a coat of arms within a circle. Above the arms are the names of the City and the state, and below the arms is the City’s official motto. official seal of the City of San Diego In 1913, the City Council authorized the City Clerk to invite design submissions for an official seal.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Mishna in Pirkeh Abot (1:6) famously instructs, "Aseh Lecha Rav U'kneh Lecha Haber" – literally, "Make for yourself a Rabbi, and 'purchase' for yourself a friend." This is commonly understood to mean that that as important as it is to have a Rabbi, it is even more important to have a friend, and one should therefore go so far as to "purchase" a friend if necessary. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806), however, added a different interpretation, explaining "U'kneh Lecha Haber" to mean that the quill – "Kaneh" – should be one's "friend." One should make sure to learn from a knowledgeable Rabbi – and he should also grow accustomed to writing the Torah he learns as much as possible. There is immense value in writing the Torah that one studies, as this helps him retain the material and also preserves it. The question arises as to whether one who wishes to write words of Torah in the morning must first recite Birkot Ha'Torah. Halacha requires reciting Birkot Ha'Torah before learning Torah in the morning, but (as we saw in a previous installment) a distinction exists between silently thinking about Torah and speaking words of Torah. Birkot Ha'Torah is required in the morning before verbally speaking words of Torah, but not – according to the consensus opinion – before silently thinking words of Torah. At first glance, we would assume that silently writing Torah material is no different from silently thinking about Torah, and thus this may be done before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah in the morning. Interestingly, however, the Shulhan Aruch distinguishes between thinking about Torah in one's mind and writing Torah. When it comes to thinking about Torah, the Shulhan Aruch follows the view of the Agur (Rav Yaakob Landau, 1410-1493) that silent Torah thoughts do not require Birkot Ha'Torah. However, the Shulhan Aruch rules that writing Torah indeed requires the recitation of the Birkot Ha'Torah. This is based on the position of the Abudarham (Rav David Abudarham, Spain, 14 th century) which Rav Yosef Karo – author of the Shulhan Aruch – brings in his Bet Yosef. Importantly, however, Rav Yosef Karo wrote a collection of notes to the Bet Yosef called Bedek Ha'bayit, in which he corrects or amends certain passages in the Bet Yosef. And in the Bedek Ha'bayit, commenting on his citation of the Abudarham's ruling concerning one who writes Torah, Rav Yosef Karo remarks: "See the words of the Agur" – a clear reference to the aforementioned ruling of the Agur that Birkot Ha'Torah is not required before thinking about Torah. It thus appears that the Bet Yosef retracted his opinion, and concluded that one does not, in fact, need to recite Birkot Ha'Torah before writing Torah. The question then becomes, what was Rav Yosef Karo's final ruling? In the Bet Yosef, he seems to have concluded that writing Torah does not require Birkot Ha'Torah, but in the Shulhan Aruch, he wrote that it does. The Poskim dispute the question of whether the Rav Yosef Karo wrote the Shulhan Aruch before or after he wrote his emendations to the Bet Yosef. Therefore, it is unclear which ruling reflects his final position – his ruling in Bedek Ha'bayit, or his ruling in the Shulhan Aruch. If we follow the Shulhan Aruch's ruling, which distinguishes between thinking about Torah and writing Torah, what's the rationale behind this distinction? Why would thinking about Torah not require Birkot Ha'Torah, but writing Torah would? Later commentators offered several explanations. One approach is that the obligation of Torah study is inherently linked to the obligation to teach Torah. Therefore, Birkot Ha'Torah – the blessing over the Misva to learn Torah – is recited only upon a kind of learning which could also facilitate the teaching of Torah. As Torah can be taught through speech and through the written word, these two forms of Torah learning require Birkot Ha'Torah, whereas silently thinking about Torah, which of course is not a way in which Torah can be disseminated, does not. Others explain that one must learn Torah with the goal of remembering the material. Therefore, the Beracha is recited only when one speaks or writes Torah, as one is more likely to remember material which he verbalizes or writes than material which he simply thinks in his mind. The Lebush (Rav Mordechai Yoffe, 1530-1612) answers, very simply, that writing, as opposed to thinking, is an action, and a Beracha is recited only before a Misva act. Finally, the Hayeh Adam (Rav Abraham Danzig, Vilna, 1748-1820) explains that people often tend to say the words as they write, and therefore Halacha requires reciting Birkot Ha'Torah before writing, given the likelihood that he will end up speaking words of Torah. As for the final Halacha, the Mishna Berura cites several Poskim who rule that due to the uncertainty surrounding this question, one who wishes to write Torah must first recite Birkot Ha'Torah and then recite verses from the Torah before proceeding to write. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, as well. Verbally reading verses before writing satisfies all opinions and thus avoids this Halachic uncertainty. (Rabbi Yisrael Bitan notes that in one work, Hacham Ovadia is cited as ruling that a person in this situation must recite Birkot Ha'Torah and should then "preferably" recite verses before writing – indicating that this is a preference, but not a requirement. However, Rabbi Bitan shows that this is an inaccurate representation of Hacham Ovadia's position, as in truth he maintained that one must first verbally read verses in order to satisfy all opinions.) This Halacha applies also to a Sofer who wishes to do some work – writing a Sefer Torah, Tefillin or Mezuza – in the morning. Some Poskim maintained that since a Sofer merely copies the Torah text, and is not actually learning Torah, Birkot Ha'Torah is not required before such work. However, due to the different opinions that exist, a Sofer should ensure to recite Birkot Ha'Torah and then verbally read verses before writing. This applies also to somebody who is typing Torah material from a handwritten text, without any intention to learn as he types. Although one could argue that this does not qualify as Torah learning, nevertheless, given the uncertainty, the typist should first recite Birkot Ha'Torah, verbally read some verses, and then proceed to the typing. Summary: One who wishes to write Torah insights, commentaries, etc. in the morning should first recite Birkot Ha'Torah and then verbally read some Torah text before writing, in order to satisfy all opinions. This applies also to a Sofer – he should recite Birkot Ha'Torah and then verbally read some verses before writing in the morning.

Catherine, David and Matt are here to look back on all four quarter-finals at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen and ahead to the semis. Part one - Italy d. China 2-0 & Ukraine d. Spain 2-0. We discuss the remarkably similar comebacks pulled off by Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Jasmine Paolini for Italy, ponder whether Yuan Yue and Wang Xinyu choked for China, and praise the brilliant Ukrainian team. Can Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina get it done in the singles for Ukraine against Italy? And what will they do if that tie goes to the doubles? Part two - USA d. Kazakhstan 2-1 & GB d. Japan 2-0 (from 30m31s). We cover the way in which USA came through despite strong performances from Yulia Putintseva and Elena Rybakina for Kazakhstan, the comments made by Taylor Townsend online mocking Chinese food and her subsequent apology, and whether Great Britain stand any chance of progressing through to the final despite a dominant win against Japan.

“The Habsburgs ruled half of Europe with a chin that entered the room five minutes before they did,” is one of those witticisms that made the 19th century so amusing. But by then the Habsburg jaw had long receded. It had its heyday in the 16th and 17th century when people in Spain called out to the future emperor Charles V: “Your majesty, shut your mouth! The flies of this country are very insolent.” And when they looked at his later descendant, king Charles II who was probably the worst affected, they said, he was “more Habsburg than human”. But where is the Habsburg Jaw from? The view repeated again and again in history books is that it came from Cymburga of Masovia, the wife of duke Ernst the Iron, but was she really responsible? Or was it something quite different that caused that deformation, and what has it to do with the prostration of duke Friedrich IV before emperor Sigismund in 1415?That is what we are looking at in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In Part II of our Camino adventure, we, as a group of Active Travel Adventures listeners, walk "solo together' to complete the Portuguese Way Camino Coastal Route with the beautiful Spiritual Way Variant. We all had the same itinerary and lodging, but we could walk our own Camino, each day deciding whether to walk with others in the ATA group, solo or with new friends met along the way. You'll learn what to expect when doing an El Camino ("The Way") to Santiago in Spain, where the relics of St. James are said to be buried under the magnificent cathedral. You'll get plenty of tips and insights about planning and doing your own Camino or long distance walking holiday. After concluding my solo-together group experience, I headed solo to Finisterre, another five days walk to the ocean, to the 0.00 km marker at 'The End of the Earth", where many 'pilgrims' would toss their ratty shoes in the sea and collect a shell to prove they'd completed their Camino.

Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport ranked among the top five airports in North America for their respective categories in J.D. Power's annual survey of airport satisfaction. DFW Airport moved up one spot to be named the fourth-best airport in the mega airport category. Love Field, the home base of Southwest Airlines, finished third in the large airport category. In other news, a second man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting last month in northwest Dallas. Dallas police officials announced Wednesday that 23-year old Jeremiah Grice was booked into the Dallas County jail on Sept. 4 in the death of 34-year-old Juan Hernandez Esparza. The Texas Rangers whiffed on an opportunity to win the Silver Boot Series for the first time in nine seasons. Their playoff chances might've gone out the window with it. The Rangers were swept by the Houston Astros capped off by a 5-2 loss Wednesday night, to drop the season series against their in-state rival. And the Conquistador, a popular ride at Arlington's Six Flags Over Texas, is going away after more than 40 years. The ride was one of the cornerstones of the Spain section of the park, which has been closed since last year due to construction of a “record breaking dive coaster” slated to open in 2026.

In this solo episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox takes us behind the scenes of the very first Entrepreneur Experiment Retreat — a transformative five-day experience in Marbella, Spain that brought together a select group of founders to focus on their body, brain, and business. Gary shares how a spontaneous idea in 2024 turned into a fully-fledged founder retreat, what went into designing the experience, and why moments of stillness, movement, and shared learning can create huge momentum in business and life. From sunrise workouts and deep-dive masterclasses to shared dinners and accountability sessions, this is a blueprint for any founder looking to reset, realign, and reimagine what's possible. If you've ever thought about joining a founder retreat, running one yourself, or simply carving out space to think — this one's for you. Show Notes In this solo episode, Gary covers:
Fed cut rates by 25bps to 4.00-4.25%, as expected, citing a shift in risk balance. Bowman and Waller joined consensus, calling for a 25bps reduction; new Governor Miran dissented, preferring a 50bps cut.Nine of the 19 Fed officials see two additional cuts in 2025, two see one cut, and six see no more reductions.Fed Chair Powell said he doesn't feel the need to move quickly on rates, and that “you could think of the cut as a risk management cut”, and that decisions will be taken on a meeting-by-meeting approach.Markets saw an initial dovish reaction to the FOMC statement followed by a hawkish reversal heading into and during Chair Powell's press conference. Fed rate cut in December still fully priced in.APAC stocks traded mixed following the choppy reaction to the FOMC meeting; European equity futures indicate a positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.5%.Looking ahead, highlights include US Jobless Claims, New Zealand Trade Balance (Aug), BoE Announcement, Norges Bank Announcement, SARB Announcement, Speakers include ECB's Lagarde, de Guindos, Nagel & Schnabel, US President Trump & UK PM Starmer press conference, Supply from Spain, France & US, Earnings from FedEx & Lennar.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Email us! Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining Light on Wind. Energy's brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering Tomorrow. Allen Hall: Ed0o and Soren, welcome to the program. Edo Kuipers: Thank you very much. Thank you both. Allen Hall: We have some really exciting news from you, from the field, but first I, I want to start with the problem, which. A lot of operators have right now, which is this blade root, bushing it in or insert issue, which is really critical to blades and you're the creator of the device that's gonna save a lot of blades. You want to talk about what happens? When these blade root bushings fail? Edo Kuipers: Uh, yeah. What we have seen is that it especially concerns, um, uh, polyester type of blades. And what we see is that, um, bushings and, and, and composites, they are not attached to each other anymore. And after a [00:01:00] while, blades are simply flying off. That's the, that's the whole, that's the whole problem. Of course. And now going back to the root cause, the root cause here is we are working with, with foes and. The fact is that if you're working with polyesters, they already have, um, at the, uh, uh, during the process, the curing process, they have already curing shrinkages. So we have already curing shrinkages, which means we have already initial micro flagging going on, on the interface between the bushing and, and, and, and the limited around it. And that reduces, that reduces the um, surface. Carrying area. And by doing so, because we have less area, surface area that can transfer the loads from the hub, um, from the blades to the hub, eh, we have limited amount of, of years on running. So we are reducing, uh, the, the amount of years [00:02:00] that the blades are on the, on the, on the turbine safely. Joel Saxum: This problem is compounding right now simply because there's a lot of the global wind turbine fleet that's starting to age. Right. Like we, we, we went through a big push in, you know, the early two thousands, 2000 tens, 2000 twenties to now where, you know, if you look at the country of Spain, we hear that regularly, Alan is, Hey, we're getting to the end of life. We're close to the end of life. Then there's people saying, what is the remaining useful life? Where are we at? Um, and this is one of those issues where. It can develop rapidly, right? So if there's an issue, you can, if you catch it in time, great. You're good. But it can develop rapidly and that can lead to catastrophic losses. But I guess my, one of the questions I want to ask you, and you guys of course have done some commercial here. Uh, how many turbines do you think are affected by this globally affected by this root bushing issues? Edo Kuipers: Oh, that's a good one. If I, if I talk a number of blades at the moment, we are more or less at a ball point figure about 30, [00:03:00] 40,000. Blades. Wow. Worldwide. So we see many us, we see many in South America and we see also in Southeast Asia, like India. And those blades are running, let's say from 10 years, 12 years, and some of them also after six years, Allen Hall: and a lot of manufacturing. Uh, blades happens in multiple sites, right? So if you have a particular OEM wind turbine,

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.This September, we step into that threshold where folklore meets fear. From ancient curses to infamous trials, from haunted ground to witches said still to walk among us… welcome to the Season of the Witch.Trasmoz, a tiny village in Aragón, is the only town in Spain ever excommunicated and cursed by the Catholic Church. From counterfeiters who spread tales of witches to a Papal curse in 1511 and the murder of Tía Casca, its eerie legacy still lingers today.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/04/excommunicated-spanish-witch-village-turns-curse-into-tourist-cashhttps://www.travelerstoday.com/articles/21637/20161116/trasmoz-a-cursed-village-of-witches-in-spain.htmhttps://www.worldatlas.com/articles/trasmoz-spain-cursed-village-of-aragon.htmlhttps://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2024/01/23/the-tiny-witches-village-in-spain-cursed-by-the-catholic-church-since-1511https://euroweeklynews.com/2023/11/10/a-small-cursed-town-in-zaragoza-excommunicated-by-the-catholic-churchhttps://wolfenhaas.com/trasmoz-witch-festivalThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Sunday!Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Wellington defeated Marmont's Army of Portugal in the course of an afternoon and drove King Jospeh out of Madrid. The French were able to recover thanks to superior manpower. However, in order to concentrate the men that would drive Wellington back to the border fortresses the French had to give up about a third of Spain.This year sets the stage for the French defeat at Vitoria in 1813.

This week's episode is extra special because it's the first one I'm recording from Spain. Yes - we packed up our family of six and moved across the world to Estepona to live and “worldschool” through this incredible program called Boundless Life.If you've followed me for a while, you know this wasn't random. Living abroad with Alex and the kids has been on my vision board for years. I even wrote down on January 1st - one week before the Palisades fires - “I want to worldschool the kids.”Nine months later, here we are!In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of our first full week in Spain: the beauty, the chaos, the funny moments, and a powerful lesson in manifesting your dream life.Here's what we dive into:
In the second episode of our special Habsburg dynasty series, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by renowned historian Professor Geoffrey Parker to uncover the extraordinary life of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor—once hailed as the “Monarch of the World.”By the time he abdicated in 1556, Charles presided over the first truly global empire, stretching from the Netherlands and Spain to Austria, Naples, and the Americas, including Peru and the New World. As King of Spain, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Lord of the Netherlands, Charles' titles only hinted at the scale of his power.Yet behind the grandeur lay contradictions: a ruler torn between faith and politics, unity and fragmentation, ambition and exhaustion. Drawing on decades of research and thousands of surviving documents, Professor Parker paints a vivid portrait of Charles V's reign—one that defined 16th-century Europe and shaped the course of world history.MORE:When Women Ruled the Low CountriesIsabel & Ferdinand: Renaissance Power CouplePresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
