Bernstam documents that Russia's oil revenue is severely constrained by Western sanctions enforcement, forcing Moscow to sell crude petroleum at approximately $40 per barrel compared to global market prices exceeding $60, while the European Union remains gridlocked regarding authorization to utilize frozen Russian assets for Ukrainian defense funding. 1906 NORTHSIDE PEKING

Yuki quietly laughed, but there was a hint of pain hidden behind her words.Ja: 「アキラ、お兄ちゃんの仕事や夢は大切だとわかってる。En: "I understand that Akira, your work and dreams are important.Ja: でも、たまには顔を見せてほしいの。En: But sometimes, I want you to show your face.Ja: 両親も寂しいし、私も…」その晩、夕飯を囲んで親しい会話が続きました。En: Our parents feel lonely, and so do I..."

Imperial (Defaulted) Chinese Bonds (Again) Yes, one of us might have sworn up and down that we would never do another episode about defaulted Imperial Chinese bonds. But a brand new case out of the DC federal courts has changed our minds. The case got the back of the hand from the district judge, but the arguments being made were not as weak as a quick glance at the opinion might suggest. Dare we hope for the entertainment value provided by an amicus brief filed by the Trump administration in support of the plaintiffs? Producer: Leanna Doty

den gamla berlocken med fin gravyr, en gåva som gått i arv genom generationer.En: There, on a small silver tray, lay the necklace - the old locket with fine engraving, a gift passed down through generations.Sv: Linnea log av lättnad och tårar glittrade i hennes ögon.En: Linnea smiled in relief, and tears glittered in her eyes.Sv: "Tack", viskade hon och kunde knappt tro sin tur.En: "Thank you," she whispered, hardly believing her luck.Sv: Oskar gav henne en liten klapp på axeln.En: Oskar gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder.Sv: De återvände hem, halsbandet tryggt i Linneas hand.En: They returned home, the necklace safely in Linnea's hand.Sv: Familjen, nu församlade i vardagsrummet under den stora julgranen, tog emot dem med öppen famn och skratt.En: The family, now gathered in the living room under the large Christmas tree, welcomed them with open arms and laughter.Sv: Traditionerna kunde nu fortsätta, och Linnea kände en värme inom sig, inte bara av glädje över att ha återfått den klenod hon så kärleksfullt vårdade, utan också tack vare Oskars ovärderliga hjälp.En: The traditions could now continue, and Linnea felt a warmth within her, not just from the joy of having recovered the heirloom she cherished so dearly, but also thanks to Oskar's invaluable help.Sv: Genom allt hade Linnea lärt sig att lita på andras perspektiv.En: Through it all, Linnea had learned to trust others' perspectives.Sv: Hon insåg att Oskars blick för detaljer hade varit avgörande.En: She realized that Oskar's eye for details had been crucial.Sv: Det var en lärdom hon bar med sig när familjens julsånger fyllde rummet med harmoni och förväntan inför högtiden som kom.En: It was a lesson she carried with her as the family's Christmas songs filled the room with harmony and anticipation for the upcoming holiday.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Behind Bunker Doors: Building Bonds in Crisis Drills Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-28-23-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: I den dämpade belysningen av underjordens bunker satt Ingrid med sin anteckningsbok.En: In the dim lighting of the underground bunker, Ingrid sat with her notebook.Sv: Hon var där för att säkerställa att stadens stora övning genomfördes smidigt.En: She was there to ensure that the city's major drill was conducted smoothly.Sv: Väggarna var av betong, och nödlamporna kastade långa skuggor, vilket gav platsen en mystisk känsla.En: The walls were concrete, and the emergency lights cast long shadows, giving the place a mysterious feel.Sv: Vid sidan av bunkern fanns affischer med säkerhetsprocedurer och hyllor fulla med nödvändigheter.En: Beside the bunker were posters with safety procedures and shelves full of necessities.Sv: Plötsligt kom Bjorn in genom bunkerns tunga dörrar.En: Suddenly, Bjorn came in through the heavy doors of the bunker.Sv: Han hade en kamera i handen och såg sig omkring med ett vaket öga.En: He had a camera in hand and looked around with a keen eye.Sv: Bjorn var där på jakt efter en berättelse.En: Bjorn was there in search of a story.Sv: Som journalist ville han skriva om stadens beredskap för katastrofer.En: As a journalist, he wanted to write about the city's disaster preparedness.Sv: Han skannade rummet tills hans blick stannade på Ingrid, som var upptagen med att kontrollera elektroniken.En: He scanned the room until his gaze stopped on Ingrid, who was busy checking the electronics.Sv: "Hej," sa Bjorn med sitt breda leende.En: "Hey," said Bjorn with his broad smile.Sv: "Behöver du någon hjälp?"En: "Do you need any help?"Sv: Ingrid, van vid att arbeta ensam, var först skeptisk till Bjorns motivationer.En: Ingrid, used to working alone, was initially skeptical of Bjorn's motives.Sv: Men hon visste att goda relationer alltid började med kommunikation.En: But she knew that good relationships always began with communication.Sv: Hon bestämde sig för att visa honom runt.En: She decided to show him around.Sv: "Det viktigaste är säkerheten," förklarade Ingrid medan de gick mellan bunkerns gångar.En: "The most important thing is safety," Ingrid explained as they walked through the bunker's corridors.Sv: "Vi måste alltid vara förberedda."En: "We always have to be prepared."Sv: Bjorn lyssnade uppmärksamt, men han kunde inte låta bli att ibland titta på klockan och fundera över historien han skulle skriva.En: Bjorn listened attentively, but he couldn't help occasionally glancing at his watch, pondering the story he was going to write.Sv: "Jag vill förstå varför du gör det här," sa han plötsligt.En: "I want to understand why you do this," he said suddenly.Sv: Ingrid stannade och såg på honom.En: Ingrid stopped and looked at him.Sv: Hon såg en möjlighet att dela sitt engagemang och beslöt att berätta om stadens välfärd och varför hon brann för sitt arbete.En: She saw an opportunity to share her commitment and decided to talk about the city's welfare and why she was passionate about her work.Sv: Mitt under deras samtal slocknade plötsligt ljusen.En: In the middle of their conversation, the lights suddenly went out.Sv: Bunkern fylldes av en skrämmande tystnad, avbruten bara av de dova ljuden från människor omkring dem.En: The bunker was filled with an eerie silence, interrupted only by the muffled sounds from people around them.Sv: Någon gnistade till med en ficklampa och den kalla metalliska doften i luften blev mer påtaglig.En: Someone sparked a flashlight, and the cold metallic smell in the air became more pronounced.Sv: Ingrid höll sig lugn och bad alla att hålla ihop och vänta på instruktioner.En: Ingrid remained calm and asked everyone to stick together and wait for instructions.Sv: Bjorn, som kände adrenalinet rusa, insåg snart allvaret i situationen.En: Bjorn, feeling the adrenaline rush, quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.Sv: "Jag kan hjälpa till att lugna ner folk," erbjöd han sig.En: "I can help calm people down," he offered.Sv: Ingrid nickade tacksamt och tillsammans lyckades de hålla ordning tills nödbelysningen åter trädde i kraft.En: Ingrid nodded gratefully, and together they managed to maintain order until the emergency lighting came back on.Sv: När övningen var över och alla lämnade bunkern, kändes stämningen lättare.En: When the drill was over and everyone left the bunker, the atmosphere felt lighter.Sv: Ingrid och Bjorn stod kvar, försänkta i ett samtal om vikten av god kommunikation och samarbete.En: Ingrid and Bjorn remained, immersed in a conversation about the importance of good communication and cooperation.Sv: De insåg att de delade en djup oro för människors säkerhet.En: They realized they shared a deep concern for people's safety.Sv: "Hursomhelst," sa Bjorn, "jag tror att berättelsen egentligen handlar om oss alla och hur vi arbetar tillsammans."En: "Anyway," said Bjorn, "I think the story is really about all of us and how we work together."Sv: Ingrid gav honom ett litet leende.En: Ingrid gave him a small smile.Sv: "Du är nog rätt person att skriva den historien."En: "You're probably the right person to write that story."Sv: Så, tack vare en tillfällighet i en bunker, fann Ingrid och Bjorn inte bara en säker plats utan också början på något nytt och gemensamt – en vänskap byggd på förtroende och respekt.En: So, thanks to a chance encounter in a bunker, Ingrid and Bjorn found not only a safe place but also the beginning of something new and shared – a friendship built on trust and respect.Sv: Under den svala höstluften ovanför förstod de båda betydelsen av att öppna sig för andra och att även de mest osannolika möten kan leda till något fantastiskt.En: Under the cool autumn air above, they both understood the significance of opening up to others and that even the most unlikely meetings can lead to something wonderful.

You really enjoyed it back then."Ja: 遥斗は少し戸惑った表情を浮かべた。En: Haruto showed a slightly confused expression.Ja: 「そうだな、あのときは楽しかった」と彼は、思い出に目を細めた。En: "Yeah, it was fun back then," he said, his eyes narrowing with nostalgia.Ja: 恵美子は続けた。「家族が一緒にいるのも、あの頃のように楽しいよ。お兄ちゃんがいないと、ちょっと寂しいな。」En: Emiko continued, "Being with family is just as fun as it was in those days. It's a bit lonely without you, big brother."Ja: 兄妹の間に短い沈黙が流れた後、遥斗は小さく頷いた。En: After a brief silence between them, Haruto nodded slightly.Ja: 「わかった。行くよ、冬祭りに。家族が大事だからね。」En: "Alright. I'll go to the winter festival. Family is important," he said.Ja: その言葉に、恵美子の顔に笑みが広がった。En: A smile spread across Emiko's face at those words.Ja: 清水寺の落葉が風にそよぎ、鐘の音がどこかから聞こえてきた。En: The fallen leaves at Kiyomizu-dera rustled in the wind, and the sound of a bell could be heard from somewhere.Ja: 遥斗は、家族と一緒にいることの温かさを改めて感じた。En: Haruto once again felt the warmth of being with his family.Ja: 兄妹は、木々の間を仲良く並んで歩き、賑やかな祭りへと向かった。En: The siblings walked amicably side by side through the trees, heading towards the bustling festival.Ja: 家族の絆がまた一つ強くなったのを、二人は感じていた。En: Both felt that the bonds of their family had strengthened yet again.

In this episode we answer emails from Grant, Brian, and Mourad.  We unpack Grant's various gambling problems with leveraged ETFs and Bitcoin wrappers, owning gold in CAD or USD for Canadians, the role of preferred shares and Mourad's recent visit to the Father McKenna Center.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterChoose FI Podcast #574:  Top Five Regrets of the Dying (Book Club with Frank Vasquez and Ginger) | Ep 574Mary's CASA Case Adoption Story:  The Johnson's Foster Care & Adoption StoryPortfolio Charts Global Analysis:  What Global Withdrawal Rates Teach Us About Ideal Retirement Portfolios – Portfolio ChartsBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever been tempted by a product that promises steady price, double‑digit yield, and exposure to the hottest asset on earth? We take a hard look at leveraged ETFs, Bitcoin‑linked strategies, and engineered income, then draw a clean line between thrill and risk you can actually carry. Grant checks in with a levered twist on the Golden Butterfly, swapping UPRO for TQQQ and TNA, and we explain why the Russell small cap complex often hides junky growth that fails to diversify when you need it most. If you want real balance, pair concentrated growth with genuine value or defensives, not a label that only looks like value on a factsheet.We also break down MicroStrategy's stock behavior versus spot Bitcoin and explore STRC, the “preferred” fund aiming to keep price near par while dialing a high payout. The headline yield is labeled return of capital, which may defer taxes but doesn't manufacture wealth if the underlying can't out-earn distributions. When the tide turns, structures like this tend to leak value, especially if they rely on direction and volatility to cooperate. If your goal is Bitcoin exposure, owning a spot ETF is usually cleaner and more predictable than chasing premium/discount dynamics or engineered yield.For Canadian listeners, we make the case for treating gold as a currency and holding it in CAD to match real-world spending, reducing the noise of USD/CAD swings. Bonds are different: long U.S. Treasuries remain premier crisis ballast thanks to reserve currency demand. We review a thoughtful 50% equity risk‑parity‑style allocation targeting a 5% withdrawal rate, flag why a heavy preferred shares sleeve can be a drag, and suggest shifting part of that into long duration Treasuries, more gold, or a true diversifier like managed futures. Want portfolios that survive the cycle? Favor transparent exposures, honest hedges, and tools like Portfolio Charts to pressure‑test your mix across currencies.If this helped sharpen your plan, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves complex wrappers, and leave a quick review so more DIY investors can find us.Support the show

In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd draws powerful parallels between the Pilgrims' journey and modern preparedness, demonstrating how their story offers crucial lessons for today's preppers facing potential SHTF scenarios. Their experience proves that true preparedness goes far beyond stockpiling supplies—it requires developing practical skills, building strong community bonds, and cultivating the psychological resilience needed to adapt when everything goes wrong. Todd emphasizes how the ability to adapt when plans catastrophically fail mirrors the flexibility modern preppers must develop. The episode reminds us that whether facing religious persecution in 1620 or economic uncertainty today, the principles remain the same: adaptability, community cooperation, and maintaining gratitude even in hardship are the true foundations of survival and the ability to thrive beyond mere existence.

In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd draws powerful parallels between the Pilgrims' journey and modern preparedness, demonstrating how their story offers crucial lessons for today's preppers facing potential SHTF scenarios. Their experience proves that true preparedness goes far beyond stockpiling supplies—it requires developing practical skills, building strong community bonds, and cultivating the psychological resilience needed to adapt when everything goes wrong. Todd emphasizes how the ability to adapt when plans catastrophically fail mirrors the flexibility modern preppers must develop. The episode reminds us that whether facing religious persecution in 1620 or economic uncertainty today, the principles remain the same: adaptability, community cooperation, and maintaining gratitude even in hardship are the true foundations of survival and the ability to thrive beyond mere existence.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss the science of social connection and how we form meaningful bonds with others. I explore the neural basis for "social homeostasis"—our drive for a certain amount of social interaction—which explains why we feel lonely, seek connection and how we navigate social hierarchies. I also explain how the brain and neurochemicals, such as oxytocin and dopamine, shape our relationships from infancy through adulthood and underlie traits like introversion and extroversion. The episode also offers practical insights into forming deeper connections and how shared experiences with others enhance social bonding. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
