Shilpa Reddy, CMO of Down Under School of Yoga and former Marketing VP at Acorns, maps her journey from fintech to wellness and explains why the same principles drive both: make time-tested tools accessible, and build a community that keeps people engaged. She breaks down her three-stage marketing flywheel, and shows why marketers must dismantle the false divide between direct response and brand storytelling. The conversation moves from Acorns' spare-change investing to Down Under's community-driven yoga. She interrogates the role of podcasts as the new TV, the measurement gaps left by ATT, and how authenticity risks becoming uniform in an AI-saturated content world.Questions Shilpa answered in this episode:What drew Shilpa from Acorns to running a yoga business?How curiosity and human-centered marketing let her adapt across industriesWhat is the three-stage marketing flywheel, and how do you know when to move from one stage to the next?Why brand and performance are one continuum, not opposing forces?How LTV makes the case for brand investment with a CFOWhy podcasts function as the ‘new TV' for reach, trust, and ad effectiveness?How marketers should balance host-read storytelling with direct response calls to action?How AT&T's affected mobile marketing measurementWhy authenticity should mean varied storytelling, not uniform brand policingWhat advice Shilpa gives to early-stage wellness founders with no marketing budget?Timestamps:(0:00) – Intro; Shilpa's journey from Acorns to Down Under Yoga(2:00) – Growing up with yoga, curiosity, and career pivots across industries(3:50) – Acorns' mission and how it relates to yoga(8:00) – The three-stage marketing flywheel explained (fit, LTV, brand)(13:50) – Signs you're ready to move between stages (NPS, brand love, data)(15:15) – Making the CFO case for brand investments through LTV(17:00) – The orchestration problem: aligning funnel mechanics with brand reach(19:00) – Podcasts as the new TV: hours consumed, trust, and ad-to-content ratio(24:40) – ATT's impact: creativity up, measurement lagging(26:20) – Authenticity vs. uniformity: the danger of AI-generated generic content(29:30) – Advice to early-stage wellness founders: start with your most loyal clients(55:00) – Wrap-up: Down Under Yoga, on-demand classes, how to connectQuotes:(12:30) – “Stage one is finding who your product is loved by.

Ordinarly I just post podcast but this is a full sermon on Jesus Christ as our perfect and one Mediator between God and humanity. The concept of his unique person that qualifies him to be the Savior is unfolded in the sermon epistle of Hebrews 2, 5, 7,8.  Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent[a] that the Lord set up, not man.

Hockeyn har sin Wayne Gretzsky, basketen har sin Michael Jordan och världslitteraturen har sin William Shakespeare. Han är störst.Sonen till en handskmakare från en liten engelsk skitstad blev på något vänster hela världens bard. Hur är det möjligt? Är det ens möjligt? Kan det verkligen stämma? I 200 år var det ingen som ställde den frågan. Men under det tidiga 1800-talet kom en ny generation Shakespeare-kännare som inte fick mannen och texten att gå ihop. De som anser att handelsmannen Will Shakespeare var en front för en eller flera egentliga upphovsmän kallas anti-stratfordianer. De har lanserat en uppsjö olika kandidater.Konspirationsteorierna om Shakespeare är en finkulturens Q-anon.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,For most of history, stagnation — not growth — was the rule. To explain why prosperity so often stalls, economist Carl Benedikt Frey offers a sweeping tour through a millennium of innovation and upheaval, showing how societies either harness — or are undone by — waves of technological change. His message is sobering: an AI revolution is no guarantee of a new age of progress.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Frey about why societies midjudge their trajectory and what it takes to reignite lasting growth.Frey is a professor of AI and Work at the Oxford Internet Institute and a fellow of Mansfield College, University of Oxford. He is the director of the Future of Work Programme and Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at the Oxford Martin School.He is the author of several books, including the brand new one, How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations.In This Episode* The end of progress? (1:28)* A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)* Global competitive intensity (11:41)* Competitive problems in the US (15:50)* Lagging European progress (22:19)* AI & labor (25:46)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. The end of progress? (1:28). . . once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.Pethokoukis: Since 2020, we've seen the emergence of generative AI, mRNA vaccines, reusable rockets that have returned America to space, we're seeing this ongoing nuclear renaissance including advanced technologies, maybe even fusion, geothermal, the expansion of solar — there seems to be a lot cooking. Is worrying about the end of progress a bit too preemptive?Frey: Well in a way, it's always a bit too preemptive to worry about the future: You don't know what's going to come. But let me put it this way: If you had told me back in 1995 — and if I was a little bit older then — that computers and the internet would lead to a decade streak of productivity growth and then peter out, I would probably have thought you nuts because it's hard to think about anything that is more consequential. Computers have essentially given people the world's store of knowledge basically in their pockets. The internet has enabled us to connect inventors and scientists around the world. There are few tools that aided the research process more. There should hardly be any technology that has done more to boost scientific discovery, and yet we don't see it.We don't see it in the aggregate productivity statistics, so that petered out after a decade. Research productivity is in decline. Measures of breakthrough innovation is in decline. So it's always good to be optimistic, I guess, and I agree with you that, when you say AI and when you read about many of the things that are happening now, it's very, very exciting, but I remain somewhat skeptical that we are actually going to see that leading to a huge revival of economic growth.I would just be surprised if we don't see any upsurge at all, to be clear, but we do have global productivity stagnation right now. It's not just Europe, it's not just Britain. The US is not doing too well either over the past two decades or so. China's productivity is probably in the negative territory or stagnant, by more optimistic measures, and so we're having a growth problem.If tech progress were inevitable, why have predictions from the '90s, and certainly earlier decades like the '50s and '60s, about transformative breakthroughs and really fast economic growth by now, consistently failed to materialize? How does your thesis account for why those visions of rapid growth and progress have fallen short?I'm not sure if my thesis explains why those expectations didn't materialize, but I'm hopeful that I do provide some framework for thinking about why we've often seen historically rapid growth spurts followed by stagnation and even decline. The story I'm telling is not rocket science, exactly. It's basically built on the simple intuitions that once you exploit a technology, the processes that aid that run into diminishing returns, you have a lot of incumbents, you have some vested interests around established technologies, and you need something new to revive growth.So for example, the Soviet Union actually did reasonably well in terms of economic growth. A lot of it, or most of it, was centered on heavy industry, I should say. So people didn't necessarily see the benefits in their pockets, but the economy grew rapidly for about four decades or so, then growth petered out, and eventually it collapsed. So for exploiting mass-production technologies, the Soviet system worked reasonably well. Soviet bureaucrats could hold factory managers accountable by benchmarking performance across factories.But that became much harder when something new was needed because when something is new, what's the benchmark? How do you benchmark against that? And more broadly, when something is new, you need to explore, and you need to explore often different technological trajectories. So in the Soviet system, if you were an aircraft engineer and you wanted to develop your prototype, you could go to the red arm and ask for funding. If they turned you down, you maybe had two or three other options. If they turned you down, your idea would die with you.Conversely, in the US back in '99, Bessemer Venture declined to invest in Google, which seemed like a bad idea with the benefit of hindsight, but it also illustrates that Google was no safe bet at the time. Yahoo and Alta Vista we're dominating search. You need somebody to invest in order to know if something is going to catch on, and in a more decentralized system, you can have more people taking different bets and you can explore more technological trajectories. That is one of the reasons why the US ended up leading the computer revolutions to which Soviet contributions were basically none.Going back to your question, why didn't those dreams materialize? I think we've made it harder to explore. Part of the reason is protective regulation. Part of the reason is lobbying by incumbents. Part of the reason is, I think, a revolving door between institutions like the US patent office and incumbents where we see in the data that examiners tend to grant large firms some patents that are of low quality and then get lucrative jobs at those places. That's creating barriers to entry. That's not good for new startups and inventors entering the marketplace. I think that is one of the reasons that we haven't seen some of those dreams materialize.A history of Chinese innovation (8:26)So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided . . .I wonder if your analysis of pre-industrial China, if there's any lessons you can draw about modern China as far as the way in which bad governance can undermine innovation and progress?Pre-industrial China has a long history. China was the technology leader during the Song and Tang dynasties. It had a meritocratic civil service. It was building infrastructure on scales that were unimaginable in Europe at the time, and yet it didn't have an industrial revolution. So while Chinese bureaucracy enabled scale, Chinese bureaucracy did not really permit much in terms of decentralized exploration, which European fragmentation aided, and because there was lots of social status attached to becoming a bureaucrat and passing the civil service examination, if Galileo was born in China, he would probably become a bureaucrat rather than a scientist, and I think that's part of the reason too.But China mostly did well when the state was strong rather than weak. A strong state was underpinned by intensive political competition, and once China had unified and there were fewer peer competitors, you see that the center begins to fade. They struggle to tax local elites in order to keep the peace. People begin to erect monopolies in their local markets and collide with guilds to protect production and their crafts from competition.So during the Qing dynasty, China begins to decline, whereas we see the opposite happening in Europe. European fragmentation aids exploration and innovation, but it doesn't necessarily aid scaling, and so that is something that Europe needs to come to terms with at a later stage when the industrial revolution starts to take off. And even before that, market integration played an important role in terms of undermining the guilds in Europe, and so part of the reason why the guilds persist longer in China is the distance is so much longer between cities and so the guilds are less exposed to competition. In the end, Europe ends up overtaking China, in large part because vested interests are undercut by governments, but also because of investments in things that spur market integration.Global competitive intensity (11:41)Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.This is a great McKinsey kind of way of looking at the world: The notion that what drives innovation is sort of maximum competitive intensity. You were talking about the competitive intensity in both Europe and in China when it was not so centralized. You were talking about the competitive intensity of a fragmented Europe.Do you think that the current level of competitive intensity between the United States and China —and I really wish I could add Europe in there. Plenty of white papers, I know, have been written about Europe's competitive state and its in innovativeness, and I hope those white papers are helpful and someone reads them, but it seems to be that the real competition is between United States and China.Do you not think that that competitive intensity will sort of keep those countries progressing despite any of the barriers that might pop up and that you've already mentioned a little bit? Isn't that a more powerful tailwind than any of the headwinds that you've mentioned?It could be, I think, if people learn the right lessons from history, at least that's a key argument of the book. Right now, what I'm seeing is the United States moving more towards protectionist with protective tariffs. Right now, what I see is a move towards, we could even say crony capitalism with tariff exemptions that some larger firms that are better-connected to the president are able to navigate, but certainly not challengers. You're seeing the United States embracing things like golden shares in Intel, and perhaps even extending that to a range of companies. Back in the 2000s, people predicted that China would become more like the United States, now it looks like the United States is becoming more like China.And China today is having similar problems and on, I would argue, an even greater scale. Growth used to be the key objective in China, and so for local governments, provincial governments competing on such targets, it was fairly easy to benchmark and measure and hold provincial governors accountable, and they would be promoted inside the Communist Party based on meeting growth targets. Now, we have prioritized common prosperity, more national security-oriented concerns.And so in China, most progress has been driven by private firms and foreign-invested firms. State-owned enterprise has generally been a drag on innovation and productivity. What you're seeing, though, as China is shifting more towards political objectives, it's harder to mobilize private enterprise, where the yard sticks are market share and profitability, for political goals. That means that China is increasingly relying more again on state-owned enterprises, which, again, have been a drag on innovation.So, in principle, I agree with you that historically you did see Russian defeat to Napoleon leading to this Stein-Hardenberg Reforms, and the abolishment of Gilded restrictions, and a more competitive marketplace for both goods and ideas. You saw that Russian losses in the Crimean War led to the of abolition of serfdom, and so there are many times in history where defeat, in particular, led to striking reforms, but right now, the competition itself doesn't seem to lead to the kinds of reforms I would've hoped to see in response.Competitive problems in the US (15:50)I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior.I certainly wrote enough pieces and talked to enough people over the past decade who have been worried about competition in the United States, and the story went something like this: that you had these big tech companies — Google, and Meta, Facebook and Microsoft — that these were companies were what they would call “forever companies,” that they had such dominance in their core businesses, and they were throwing off so much cash that these were unbeatable companies, and this was going to be bad for America. People who made that argument just could not imagine how any other companies could threaten their dominance. And yet, at the time, I pointed out that it seemed to me that these companies were constantly in fear that they were one technological advance from being in trouble.And then lo and behold, that's exactly what happened. And while in AI, certainly, Google's super important, and Meta Facebook are super important, so are OpenAI, and so is Anthropic, and there are other companies.So the point here, after my little soliloquy, is can we overstate these problems, at least in the United States, when it seems like it is still possible to create a new technology that breaks the apparent stranglehold of these incumbents? Google search does not look quite as solid a business as it did in 2022.Can we overstate the competitive problems of the United States, or is what you're saying more forward-looking, that perhaps we overstated the competitive problems in the past, but now, due to these tariffs, and executives having to travel to the White House and give the president gifts, that that creates a stage for the kind of competitive problems that we should really worry about?I'm very happy to support the notion that technological changes can lead to unpredictable outcomes that incumbents may struggle to predict and respond to. Even if they predict it, they struggle to act upon it because doing so often undermines the existing business model.So if you take Google, where the transformer was actually conceived, the seven people behind it, I think, have since left the company. One of the reasons that they probably didn't launch anything like ChatGPT was probably for the fear of cannibalizing search. So I think the most important mechanisms for dislodging incumbents are dramatic shifts in technology.None of the legacy media companies ended up leading social media. None of the legacy retailers ended up leading e-commerce. None of the automobile leaders are leading in EVs. None of the bicycle companies, which all went into automobile, so many of them, ended up leading. So there is a pattern there.At the same time, I think you do have to worry that there are anti-competitive practices going on that makes it harder, and that are costly. The revolving door between the USPTO and companies is one example of that. We also have a reasonable amount of evidence on killer acquisitions whereby firms buy up a competitor just to shut it down. Those things are happening. I think you need to have tools that allow you to combat that, and I think more broadly, the United States has a long history of fairly vigorous antitrust policy. I think it'd be a hard pressed to suggest that that has been a tremendous drag on American business or American dynamism. So if you don't think, for example, that American antitrust policy has contributed to innovation and dynamism, at the very least, you can't really say either that it's been a huge drag on it.In Japan, for example, in its postwar history, antitrust was extremely lax. In the United States, it was very vigorous, and it was very vigorous throughout the computer revolution as well, which it wasn't at all in Japan. If you take the lawsuit against IBM, for example, you can debate this. To what extent did it force it to unbundle hardware and software, and would Microsoft been the company it is today without that? I think AT&T, it's both the breakup and it's deregulation, as well, but I think by basically all accounts, that was a good idea, particularly at the time when the National Science Foundation released ARPANET into the world.I think what antitrust does is, at the very least, it provides a tool that means that businesses are thinking twice before engaging in anti-competitive behavior. There's always a risk of antitrust being heavily politicized, and that's always been a bad idea, but at the same time, I think having tools on the books that allows you to check monopolies and steer their investments more towards the innovation rather than anti-competitive practices, I think is, broadly speaking, a good thing. I think in the European Union, you often hear that competition policy is a drag on productivity. I think it's the least of Europe's problem.Lagging European progress (22:19)If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. . . but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?Let's talk about Europe as we sort of finish up. We don't have to write How Progress Ends, it seems like progress has ended, so maybe we want to think about how progress restarts, and is the problem in Europe, is it institutions or is it the revealed preference of Europeans, that they're getting what they want? That they don't value progress and dynamism, that it is a cultural preference that is manifested in institutions? And if that's the case — you can tell me if that's not the case, I kind of feel like it might be the case — how do you restart progress in Europe since it seems to have already ended?The most puzzling thing to me is not that Europe is less dynamic than the United States — that's not very puzzling at all — but that it hasn't even managed to catch up in digital. If you take the postwar period, at least Europe catches up in most key industries, and actually lead in some of them. So in a way, take automobiles, electrical machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nobody would say that Europe is behind in those industries, or at least not for long. Europe has very robust catchup growth in the post-war period, but doesn't do the same in digital. The question in my mind is: Why is that?I think part of the reason is that the returns to innovation, the returns to scaling in Europe are relatively muted by a fragmented market in services, in particular. The IMF estimates that if you take all trade barriers on services inside the European Union and you add them up, it's something like 110 percent tariffs. Trump Liberation Day tariffs, essentially, imposed within European Union. That means that European firms in digital and in services don't have a harmonized market to scale into, the way the United States and China has. I think that's by far the biggest reason.On top of that, there are well-intentioned regulations like the GDPR that, by any account, has been a drag on innovation, and particularly been harmful for startups, whereas larger firms that find it easier to manage compliance costs have essentially managed to offset those costs by capturing a larger share of the market. I think the AI Act is going in the same direction there, ad so you have more hurdles, you have greater costs of innovating because of those regulatory barriers. And then the return to innovation is more capped by having a smaller, fragmented market.I don't think that culture or European lust for leisure rather than work is the key reason. I think there's some of that, but if you look at the most dynamic places in Europe, it tends to be the Scandinavian countries and, being from Sweden myself, I can tell you that most people you will encounter there are not workaholics.AI & labor (25:46)I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin.As I finish up, let me ask you: Like a lot of economists who think about technology, you've thought about how AI will affect jobs — given what we've seen in the past few years, would it be your guess that, if we were to look at the labor force participation rates of the United States and other rich countries 10 years from now, that we will look at those employment numbers and think, “Wow, we can really see the impact of AI on those numbers”? Will it be extraordinarily evident, or would it be not as much?Unless there's very significant progress in AI, I don't think so. I think AI at the moment has a real resilience problem. It's very good that things where there's a lot of precedent, it doesn't do very well where precedence is thin. So in most activities where the world is changing, and the world is changing every day, you can't really rely on AI to reliably do work for you.An example of that, most people know of AlphaGo beating the world champion back in 2016. Few people will know that, back in 2023, human amateurs, using standard laptops, exposing the best Go programs to new positions that they would not have encountered in training, actually beat the best Go programs quite easily. So even in a domain where basically the problem is solved, where we already achieved super-human intelligence, you cannot really know how well these tools perform when circumstances change, and I think that that's really a problem. So unless we solve that, I don't think it's going to have an impact that will mean that labor force participation is going to be significantly lower 10 years from now.That said, I do think it's going to have a very significant impact on white collar work, and people's income and sense of status. I think of generative AI, in particular, as a tool that reduces barriers to entry in professional services. I often compare it to what happened with Uber and taxi services. With the arrival of GPS technology, knowing the name of every street in New York City was no longer a particularly valuable skill, and then with a platform matching supply and demand, anybody could essentially get into their car who has a driver's license and top up their incomes on the side. As a result of that, incumbent drivers faced more competition, they took a pay cut of around 10 percent.Obviously, a key difference with professional services is that they're traded. So I think it's very likely that, as generative AI reduces the productivity differential between people in, let's say the US and the Philippines in financial modeling, in paralegal work, in accounting, in a host of professional services, more of those activities will shift abroad, and I think many knowledge workers that had envisioned prosperous careers may feel a sense of loss of status and income as a consequence, and I do think that's quite significant.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Nivå A2-B1 I det här avsnittet pratar vi om en av de mest fascinerande personerna i svensk historia - drottning Kristina. Kristina var en svensk drottning som frivilligt abdikerade (lämnade tronen), vägrade gifta sig, och konverterade till katolicismen. Hon var också känd för sin manliga klädstil och sitt intresse för filosofi, konst och vetenskap. Du får en historisk bakgrund till 1600-talet, Kristinas uppväxt, hennes tid som drottning och hennes senare liv i Rom. För att stödja podden - klicka här Transkript Ja men hallå hallå och välkommen till Simple Swedish Podcast! Och idag ska vi ha ett lite historiskt avsnitt. Vi ska prata om drottning Kristina. En väldigt fascinerande personlighet från Sveriges historia. Så. En liten kort introduktion bara så drottning Kristina. Hon var en svensk drottning som frivilligt valde att abdikera. Att abdikera betyder att man säger jag vill inte vara monark längre. Jag vill inte vara drottning längre. Jag vill inte vara kung längre. Utan jag. Avsäger mig min krona och lämnar tronen. Det är att abdikera. Och det är såklart inte så många som har gjort det genom historien. Men hon är en av få som har abdikerat frivilligt. Hon klädde sig också ofta i ganska manliga kläder. Vilket var ovanligt. Framförallt så ville hon inte gifta sig. Hon vägrade gifta sig. Och hon konverterade till katolicismen. Vilket var inte så bra i Sverige på den tiden. För Sverige var protestantiskt. Och Sverige var i ett krig mot katolikerna, så vi har en drottning som konverterar till fiendens religion. Fienden är alltså de du krigar mot. Det är så, ja, en fascinerande personlighet i svensk historia. Först ska vi då tacka några patrons innan vi börjar att gå igenom hennes liv. Och det är Fadhil, Mari, Edward, Johannes, Marah, Daiana, Danela, Spyros, Silvia, Majid, Barbara och David .

Anyone with a passing familiarity with Buddhism will know that “delusion” is rarely, if ever, mentioned in a positive way. In fact, the Buddha included delusion (aka: confusion about the way things really are) on his list of “the three poisons.” The whole point of meditation, per the Buddha, is to uproot delusion -- along with greed and hatred. Only then can you be enlightened. My guest today is here to valiantly make the case that delusion -- or self-deception -- has an upside. Many upsides, in fact. While he concedes that self-deception can, of course, be massively harmful, he argues that it also plays a vital role in our success and wellbeing, and that it holds together friendships, marriages, and nations. Understanding this, he says, can make you happier, more effective, and -- crucially -- more empathetic with people with whom you disagree. Shankar Vedantam is the host of the popular podcast and radio show Hidden Brain. His latest book is called Useful Delusions: The Power and Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain. In this episode we talk about: the many ways our brains filter and alter our perception of reality why we evolved for a robust capacity to lie to ourselves and how his research on delusions has colored his view of the chaos and confusion of our modern world.    Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris   SPONSORS:  Bumble: Thinking about dating again?

Naturfilmaren som charmade en hel värld, blev en av planetens kändaste röster och med åren en hårdnackad krigare för klimatet. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. När Sir David Attenborough föds (1926) är inte ens TV-mediet uppfunnet. Med en prestigefylld utbildning från Cambridge börjar David Attenborough på BBC och är med och utvecklar framtiden för TV. Efter en inledande karriär som producent blir David Attenborough snart en älskad programledare som med sin kärleksfulla entusiasm för naturen och planetens invånare, både adlats och röstats fram till Storbritanniens mest betrodda man.Med åren har Sir David Attenborough blivit allt mer engagerad i klimatfrågan och har enligt klimatforskaren Johan Rockström blivit en viktig röst. – Han har fått en nästan obeskrivligt tung roll som en röst för besinning, men också röst för visdom och strategi. Att förvalta naturen som en väg till välbefinnande för mänskligheten på jorden. Han är på det sättet en oerhört viktig ambassadör för mänsklighetens framtid på jorden.P3 ID om David Attenborough är ett program om berättarglädje, tv-mediets utveckling och människans relation till planeten.

I gryningen den 5 juni 1967 genomfördes en av världshistoriens mest lyckade överraskningsattacker. Med hjälp av moderna franska jetstridsplan attackerade israels flygvapen ett stort antal egyptiska flygbaser och slog ut mer eller mindre hela den egyptiska flygvapenarsenalen på bara timmar.280 egyptiska stridsplan, varav 90 st sovjetiska MiG-21, och samtliga av Egyptens strategiska tunga bombflyg förstördes i attacken. Inte nog med det så genomfördes liknande flygräder mot Syrien, Jordanien och även Irak, samt ett otal luftstrider.Inom loppet av ett dygn hade Israel tillskansat sig totalt luftherravälde över i princip hela Mellanöstern. Hur gick det till? I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden pratar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt om Sexdagarskriget 1967.Det framgångsrika överraskningsanfallet mot flygvapnet följdes av en snabb offensiv på marken, fördelat i tre kilar genom Sinai-halvön. Målet var att nå Suezkanalen i väster, men kanske än viktigare, att återta kontrollen av Sharm-El-Sheik vid Tiransundet för att på så vis återta kontrollen över sjöfarten sydöst ifrån Israel.Anfallet över land blev precis som flygattacken mycket lyckad, men var helt beroende av att de egyptiska luftstridskrafterna var utslagna. Under den snabba förflyttningen västerut fanns få möjligheter att få stöd från israeliskt artilleri, vilket ställde krav på att flygvapnet skulle kunna understödja marktrupperna. Så länge egyptiskt flyg fanns tillgängligt skulle det alltså vara svårt att nå taktiska fördelar på marken. På det sättet var en lyckad flygattack helt avgörande för den israeliska framgången på land. Själva operation ”Focus”, som överraskningsanfallet skulle kallas, var också en välövad och välplanerad operation som hade diskuterats i flera år före det slutgiltiga anfallet.Samtidigt som den israeliska offensiven började nå sitt mål i väst den 7-8 juni, nådde man också framgångar österut, i Jerusalem och med riktning mot Jordanien. Även nordöst sattes en omtalad offensiv igång – attacken mot Golanhöjderna i Syrien. Denna markstrid var betydligt mer komplicerad än den snabba ökenvandringen över Sinai, och stödet för en utbyggd offensiv mot Syrien var inte helt odelad, om än framgångsrik.Att säga att kriget var koncentrerat till endast sex dagar är dock något av en överdrift. Sexdagarskriget föregicks av en 10 års-period av politiska spänningar och mängder av regelrätta krigshandlingar mellan Israel och dess arabiska grannar med ursprung ibland annat Suezkrisen 1956-1957. Vapenvilan skulle också följas av en period av ständiga avsteg och regelrätta utnötningsoffensiver fram till utbrottet av ett nästa krig – Oktoberkriget 1973, eller Yom Kippur-kriget som det också kallas.Bild Israeliska stridsvagnar på frammarsch mot Golanhöjderna. juni 1967, Israels presskontor, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikipedia.

Send us a textPaul writes in Colossians 3:16, Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.These words address participation in Christian assembly and tells us to use Psalms. We should read them, pray them, sing them and teach and preach them. Three recently used psalms demonstrate this. The psalms reviewed are, first of all,  Psalm 130, a prayer of lament and petition resulting in a self exhortation and a group exhortation. For the next service we turned to Psalm 105. However, Psalm 105 and 106 are actually one psalm of poetic historical narrative of God's dealings with his chosen people, the Hebrews, Israel. The psalm is an exhortation to praise God and a teaching device to encourage spiritual renewal in light of God's faithfulness. Lastly, we used Psalm 86, a prayer of David in the form of lament and petition to Yahweh, the Lord.  It is a heartfelt prayer of deep relationship with God confessing God's uniqueness- You alone are God. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,    nor are there any works like yours.9 All the nations you have made shall comeand worship before you, O Lord,    and shall glorify your name.10 For you are great and do wondrous things;    you alone are God.11 Teach me your way, O Yahweh,    that I may walk in your truth;    unite my heart to fear your name.12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,and I will glorify your name forever.13 For great is your steadfast love toward meBible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

När Moldavien går till val lägger Europa in en högre diplomatisk växel för att mota rysk påverkan. Men hur långt räcker luddiga EU-löften när motståndaren heter Putin? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Parlamentsvalet i Moldavien beskrivs som ett val som i förlängningen kan påverka hela Europas säkerhet. Och inför valet i helgen har europeiska ledare och EU lagt in en högre diplomatisk växel, samtidigt som Ryssland trappar upp sina påverkanskampanjer i landet. Hör om den ryska desinformationen, fejkade budskap som sprids och uppgifter om hur röster köps för pengar. Valet i Moldavien äger dessutom rum i ett läge där Ryssland upprepat kränkt EU- och Nato-länders luftrum och där spänningarna mellan Rysslands och väst ökar påtagligt.

Visste du att svarta hål har så stark gravitation att inte ens ljus kan komma därifrån? Att de föds när gigantiska stjärnor dör? Att teorin om dem kom redan 1915? I det här avsnittet får du veta allt om dessa mystiska himlakroppar! Transkript Hallå hallå! Välkommen till Simple Swedish Podcast! Jag har en ny mikrofon, så jag hoppas att ljudet är bra. Ja, den sitter här. Idag ska vi prata om någonting jag tycker är väldigt, väldigt intressant och. fascinerande och det är svarta hål! Svarta hål, alltså den här typen av himlakropp som finns ute i rymden. Men innan vi börjar ska jag såklart tacka några nya patrons. Det är Veronika, Chinur, Thanh Hung, Lee, Tatiana, Hawa, Xiaoyu och Anne-Marie. Så tack till er för att ni stödjer den här podden. Så, vad är ett svart hål? Ja, som sagt, ett svart hål är en sorts himlakropp. En himlakropp är en, ja. vad som helst ute i rymden. En stjärna, en planet, en komet och liknande. Så det är himlakroppar. Och ett svart hål är en sorts himlakropp. Och det som är speciellt med svarta hål. Okej, det finns många saker som är speciella med svarta hål. Och vi ska gå igenom dem. Det här avsnittet kanske blir lite långt. för att det finns många intressanta saker med svarta hål. Men det som kanske är mest... Definitionen är att det är ett område i rymden där gravitationen är så stark att ingenting kan komma därifrån. ingenting alltså, inte ens ljus. Okej? Det är därför det heter ett svart hål. För det är som att du, om du är ute i rymden och det blir liksom som att du faller ner i ett hål, om du skulle åka in i ett svart hål. För du kan ju tänka dig ett hål i golvet, alltså det är ju ett tvådimensionellt hål, du faller ner i ett hål i golvet eller i marken. Men det här är ett tredimensionellt hål, så att säga, så att du faller in från alla vinklar. eftersom ljus inte kan komma därifrån så ser det svart ut helt enkelt. Så det är helt enkelt ett svart hål i rymden. ...för hela transkriptet, klicka här

We've all had bad experiences with the nightmare of so-called "Customer Service.” Not that I want to play Can You Top This, but I'd be surprised - and have tremendous sympathy with you - if you actually can top my recent interaction with AT&T. The issue I had was double-billing of $829.99 for a new iPhone 16.   Here's an overview of what happened:   AT&T double-billed me for an iPhone 16 I invested a total of 10 hours, 53 minutes with a 1 Chat Bot & 21 Human Chat Agents  The Chat transcript is 34 pages long I abandoned an effort to call AT&T Customer Support after being cut off following 32 minutes on hold (Why would I expect the phone company to have a well-functioning phone system???) I miraculously found a place online to file a formal, legal complaint with AT&T's Office Of The President (Trust me, you want the additional info I'll provide below...)

Och så om rapporteringen kring demonstrationen utanför judiska skolan och Anders Holmbergs intervju med ljugande Rysslandsambassadör. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Kontextlös första-rapportering om demonstration utanför judisk skolaI måndags samlades ett fåtal propalestinska demonstranter utanför judiska skolans lokaler på Östermalm i Stockholm - någonting som fick stor uppmärksamhet på sociala medier. Flera toppolitiker gick ut och rasade. Moderaternas gruppledare Mattias Karlsson kallade demonstranterna för odjur och kulturminister Parisa Liljestrand sa att det var “vedervärdigt”. Att ställa svenska judiska barn till svars för israels krigföring i Gaza är antisemitism i sin renaste form. Under kvällen gjorde Expressen sociala medier-reaktions-journalistik av det här - och när TT sen plockade upp det fick det nationell spridning. Men en viktig pusselbit saknades där i början.Reporter: Freddi Ramel Varför ska SVT intervjua ambassadörer som ljuger? Förra veckan intervjuade Anders Holmberg Rysslands Sverigeambassadör Sergej Beljajev. Det var en intervju som fick kritik redan innan den sändes - varför släppa fram Rysslands propaganda på bästa sändningstid i SVT? Och sedan intervjun sändes förra veckan har kritiken fortsatt. Även de som hade en lite mer förlåtande inställning tyckte att ambassadörens många lögner slank igenom alldeles för enkelt. Hur ska man som journalist göra när man intervjuar en aktör som man vet kommer ta alla chanser att ljuga och förleda? Reporter: Erik PeterssonHar svenska medier underskattat Charlie Kirks betydelse? Mordet på den amerikanska högeraktivisten Charlie Kirk har dominerat nyhetscykeln i över en vecka, både i USA och här hemma i Sverige. Journalister har turats om att slå fast att hans betydelse för den amerikanska högern inte går att överskatta - men hur kommer det sig då att svenska medier knappt nämnde honom innan mordet?Reporter: Joanna Korbutiak

This week we talk about cyberespionage, China, and asymmetrical leverage.We also discuss political firings, hardware infiltration, and Five Eyes.Recommended Book: The Fourth Turning Is Here by Neil HoweTranscriptIn the year 2000, then-General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin (jong ZEM-in), approved a plan to develop so-called “cyber coercive capabilities”—the infrastructure for offensive hacking—partly as a consequence of aggressive actions by the US, which among other things had recently bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade as part of the NATO campaign in Yugoslavia.The US was a nuclear power with immense military capabilities that far outshone those of China, and the idea was that the Chinese government needed some kind of asymmetrical means of achieving leverage against the US and its allies to counter that. Personal tech and the internet were still relatively young in 2000—the first iPhone wouldn't be released for another seven years, for context—but there was enough going on in the cyber-intelligence world that it seemed like a good point of leverage to aim for.The early 2000s Chairman of the CCP, Hu Jintao, backed this ambition, citing the burgeoning threat of instability-inducing online variables, like those that sparked the color revolutions across Europe and Asia, and attack strategies similar to Israel's Stuxnet cyberattack on Iran as justification, though China's growing economic dependence on its technological know-how was also part of the equation; it could evolve its capacity in this space relatively quickly, and it had valuable stuff that was targetable by foreign cyberattacks, so it was probably a good idea to increase their defenses, while also increasing their ability to hit foreign targets in this way—that was the logic here.The next CCP Chairman, Xi Jinping, doubled-down on this effort, saying that in the cyber world, everyone else was using air strikes and China was still using swords and spears, so they needed to up their game substantially and rapidly.That ambition seems to have been realized: though China is still reportedly regularly infiltrated by foreign entities like the US's CIA, China's cybersecurity firms and state-affiliated hacker groups have become serious players on the international stage, pulling off incredibly complex hacks of foreign governments and infrastructure, including a campaign called Volt Typhoon, which seems to have started sometime in or before 2021, but which wasn't discovered by US entities until 2024. This campaign saw Chinese hackers infiltrating all sorts of US agencies and infrastructure, initially using malware, and then entwining themselves with the operating systems used by their targets, quietly syphoning off data, credentials, and other useful bits of information, slowly but surely becoming even more interwoven with the fabric of these systems, and doing so stealthily in order to remain undetected for years.This effort allowed hackers to glean information about the US's defenses in the continental US and in Guam, while also helping them breach public infrastructure, like Singapore's telecommunications company, Singtel. It's been suggested that, as with many Chinese cyberattacks, this incursion was a long-game play, meant to give the Chinese government the option of both using private data about private US citizens, soldiers, and people in government for manipulation or blackmail purposes, or to shut down important infrastructure, like communications channels or electrical grids, in the event of a future military conflict.What I'd like to talk about today is another, even bigger and reportedly more successful long-term hack by the Chinese government, and one that might be even more disruptive, should there ever be a military conflict between China and one of the impacted governments, or their allies.—Salt Typhoon is the name that's been given to a so-called '“advanced persistent threat actor,” which is a formal way of saying hacker or hacker group, by Microsoft, which plays a big role in the cybersecurity world, especially at this scale, a scale involving not just independent hackers, but government-level cyberespionage groups.This group is generally understood to be run out of the Chinese Ministry of State Security, or MSS, and though it's not usually possible to say something like that for certain, hence the “generally understood” component of that statement, often everyone kind of knows who's doing what, but it's imprudent to say so with 100% certainty, as cyberespionage, like many other sorts of spy stuff, is meant to be a gray area where governments can knock each other around without leading to a shooting war. If anyone were to say with absolute certainty, yes, China is hacking us, and it's definitely the government, and they're doing a really good job of it, stealing all our stuff and putting us at risk, that would either require the targeted government to launch some sort of counterstrike against China, or would leave that targeted government looking weak, and thus prone to more such incursions and attacks, alongside any loss of face they might suffer.So there's a lot of hand-waving and alluding in this sphere of diplomacy and security, but it's basically understood that Salt Typhoon is run by China, and it's thought that they've been operating since at least 2020.Their prime function seems to be stealing as much classified data as they can from governments around the world, and scooping up all sorts of intellectual property from corporations, too.China's notorious for collecting this kind of IP and then giving it to Chinese companies, which have become really good at using such IP, copying it, making it cheaper, and sometimes improving upon it in other ways, as well. This government-corporation collaboration model is fundamental to the operation of China's economy, and the dynamic between its government, it's military, its intelligence services, and its companies, all of which work together in various ways.It's estimated that Salt Typhoon has infiltrated more than 200 targets in more than 80 countries, and alongside corporate entities like AT&T and Verizon, they also managed to scoop up private text messages from Kamala Harris' and Donald Trump's presidential campaigns in 2024, using hacks against phone services to do so.Three main Chinese tech companies allegedly helped Salt Typhoon infiltrate foreign telecommunications companies and internet service providers, alongside hotel, transportation, and other sorts of entities, which allowed them to not just grab text messages, but also track people, keeping tabs on their movements, which again, might be helpful in future blackmail or even assassination operations.Those three companies seem to be real-deal, actual companies, not just fronts for Chinese intelligence, but the government was able to use them, and the services and products they provide, to sneak malicious code into all kinds of vital infrastructure and all sorts of foreign corporations and agencies—which seems to support concerns from several years ago about dealing with Chinese tech companies like Huawei; some governments decided not to work with them, especially in building-out their 5G communications infrastructure, due to the possibility that the Chinese government might use these ostensibly private companies as a means of getting espionage software or devices into these communications channels or energy grids. The low prices Huawei offered just wasn't worth the risk.The US government announced back in 2024 that Salt Typhoon had infiltrated a bunch of US telecommunications companies and broadband networks, and that routers manufactured by Cisco were also compromised by this group. The group was also able to get into ISP services that US law enforcement and intelligence services use to conduct court-authorized wiretaps; so they weren't just spying on individuals, they were also spying on other government's spies and those they were spying on.Despite all these pretty alarming findings, in the midst of the investigation into these hacks, the second US Trump administration fired the government's Cyber Safety Review Board, which was thus unable to complete its investigation into Salt Typhoon's intrusion.The FBI has since issued a large bounty for information about those involved in Salt Typhoon, but that only addresses the issue indirectly, and there's still a lot we don't know about this group, the extent of their hacking, and where else they might still be embedded, in part because the administration fired those looking into it, reportedly because the administration didn't like this group also looking into Moscow's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, and Salt Typhoon's potential interference with the 2024 presidential election, both of which Trump won.The US government has denied these firings are in any way political, saying they intend to focus on cyber offense rather than defense, and pointing out that the current approach to investigating these sorts of things was imperfect; which is something that most outside organizations would agree on.That said, there are concerns that these firings, and other actions against the US's cyberthreat defensive capabilities, are revenge moves against people and groups that have said the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden, was the most secure and best-run election in US history; which flies in the face of Trump's preferred narrative that he won in 2020—something he's fond of repeating, though without evidence, and with a vast body of evidence against his claim.The US has also begun pulling away from long-time allies that it has previously collaborated with in the cyberespionage and cyberdefense sphere, including its Five Eyes partners, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.Since Tulsi Gabbard was installed as the Director of National Intelligence by Trump's new administration, US intelligence services have been instructed to withhold information about negotiations with Russia and Ukraine from these allies; something that's worrying intelligence experts, partly because this move seems to mostly favor Russia, and partly because it represents one more wall, of many, that the administration seems to be erecting between the US and these allies. Gabbard herself is also said to be incredibly pro-Russian, so while that may not be influencing this decision, it's easy to understand why many allies and analysts are concerned that her loyalties might be divided in this matter.So what we have is a situation in which political considerations and concerns, alongside divided priorities and loyalties within several governments, but the US in particular right now, might be changing the layout of, and perhaps even weakening, cybersecurity and cyberespionage services at the very moment these services might be most necessary, because a foreign government has managed to install itself in all kinds of agencies, infrastructure, and corporations.That presence could allow China to milk these entities for information and stolen intellectual property, but it could also put the Chinese government in a very favorable position, should some kind of conflict break out, including but not limited to an invasion of Taiwan; if the US's electrical grids or telecommunications services go down, or the country's military is unable to coordinate with itself, or with its allies in the Pacific, at the moment China invades, there's a non-zero chance that would impact the success of that invasion in China's favor.Again, this is a pretty shadowy playing field even at the best of times, but right now there seems to be a lot happening in the cyberespionage space, and many of the foundations that were in place until just recently, are also being shaken, shattered, or replaced, which makes this an even more tumultuous, uncertain moment, with heightened risks for everybody, though maybe the opposite for those attacking these now more-vulnerable bits of infrastructure and vital entities.Show Noteshttps://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/china-used-three-private-companies-hack-global-telecoms-us-says-rcna227543https://media.defense.gov/2025/Aug/22/2003786665/-1/-1/0/CSA_COUNTERING_CHINA_STATE_ACTORS_COMPROMISE_OF_NETWORKS.PDFhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/us/politics/trump-loomer-haugh-cyberattacks-elections.htmlhttps://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250826-has-the-us-shut-its-five-eyes-allies-out-of-intelligence-on-ukraine-russia-peace-talkshttps://www.axios.com/2025/09/04/china-salt-typhoon-fbi-advisory-us-datahttps://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/chinese-spies-hit-more-than-80-countries-in-salt-typhoon-breach-fbi-reveals-59b2108fhttp://axios.com/2025/08/02/china-usa-cyberattacks-microsoft-sharepointhttps://www.axios.com/2024/12/03/salt-typhoon-china-phone-hackshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/world/asia/china-hack-salt-typhoon.htmlhttps://www.euronews.com/2025/09/04/trump-and-jd-vance-among-targets-of-major-chinese-cyberattack-investigators-sayhttps://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12798https://www.fcc.gov/document/implications-salt-typhoon-attack-and-fcc-responsehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Typhoonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_global_telecommunications_hackhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_interference_in_the_2024_United_States_electionshttps://www.theregister.com/2025/08/28/how_does_china_keep_stealing/https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Releases-Statements/Press-Release-View/Article/4287371/nsa-and-others-provide-guidance-to-counter-china-state-sponsored-actors-targeti/https://chooser.crossref.org/?doi=10.2307%2Fjj.16040335https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare_and_Chinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt_Typhoon This is a public episode.

Alan shares his frustrating experience with AT&T's poor customer service after his office's phones went down. The ordeal leads him to develop a theory about the inverse relationship between demand for a service and the need for excellent customer service. He explains that businesses like AT&T, which provide essential services with high demand and low-elasticity, can get away with poor service because it's difficult for customers to switch. On the other hand, professions like dentistry, which operate in a more competitive market, must provide great service to retain patients. Al's negative experience with AT&T highlighted the importance of treating his patients well, especially since they have other options. He emphasizes that providing excellent customer service isn't just a business strategy; it's the right thing to do.
