US-born Protestant evangelicalism has gone global to an extent of which many of us might be unaware. Soul by Soul: The Evangelical Mission to Spread the Gospel to Muslims (Columbia Global Reports, 2024) tells the story of Americans' colossal mobilization to proclaim Christianity “to the ends of the Earth,” a movement that triumphed in the Global South, challenged the Vatican, then turned east in full force after 9/11 to spread the Gospel among Muslims. When the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq set off a wave of anti-American attacks and made the field too dangerous for US missionaries, thousands of disciples, particularly from Latin America, were mobilized to finish the task. In Soul by Soul, journalist Adriana Carranca follows the pilgrimage of a missionary family from Brazil as they move to Afghanistan. Carranca brings us on a harrowing journey through the underground passages of the global evangelical movement as it clashes with the full force of militant Islamic groups in the Middle East and South Asia, where contemporary religious wars are being fought, soul by soul. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

David Ellison’s Paramount is off to a loud start, rolling out a James Mangold/Timothée Chalamet crime drama and a $7.7 billion, seven year UFC deal. Will the studio’s bold strategies play out as intended? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni break down Paramount’s next act. Plus, Masters talks to documentarian Petra Costa about Apocalypse in the Tropics, a follow-up to her Oscar-nominated 2019 film The Edge of Democracy. What started as a look at Brazil’s COVID response became an investigation into how religious fundamentalism, conspiracy theories and foreign influence have undermined democracy in her home country. She also recounts documenting the rise and fall of Jair Bolsonaro and the risks her crew faced while covering the country’s January 8th attempted coup.  

Salim Asrawi is President and co-founder of Texas de Brazil and appears on the cover of President George W. Bush's Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants. Born in Lebanon, Salim immigrated to the United States at the age of 14, fleeing war in his country. He worked his way up at a hotel after getting his master's degree in restaurant hotel management and later, with his family, invested in opening Texas de Brazil, now the largest steakhouse chain in the world. Salim joined Strategerist host Andrew Kaufmann and U.S. Navy Reserve Lieutenant Commander D'Juan Wilcher, Deputy Director of Veterans and Military Families at the Bush Institute, to discuss his journey from immigrant to successful entrepreneur, his dedication to community service and helping others, and his hope for the future.

Elspeth Hay is the author of the new book Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food. The book helps us understand how many in Western society lost their relationship to nut producing trees. It explains how integral trees such as oaks, chestnuts, black walnuts and hazelnuts are to forest ecosystems and how their nuts were once a staple in North American diets.Hay, lives on Cape Cod and has been reporting on food and the environment for the past 15 years with The Local Food Report, a segment that has aired on a regional New England NPR station. Despite growing up on a farm in Maine, it was a revelation when she found out that acorns were edible and it sent her down a rabbit hole of curiosities that reshaped her understanding of food production, not to mention how she understood the world. In our conversation, we talk about the things in the way of returning tree nuts into our food supply, from land rights to a focus on yields that do not account for external costs.Coincidentally, I've been on a nut tree rabbit hole myself for the past few years. It started with the chestnut trees I have on my land, which drop so many nuts each year I don't always know what to do with them. Chestnuts have become a part of my seasonal diet, and I've now planted a few hazelnut trees as well. Meanwhile, I've been researching Brazil nuts for the book I'm working on in the Amazon, and in some communities I have visited, they remain a staple food. So the possibilities of how we can shift what we eat towards more sustainable solutions are a reality. Elspeth writes and talks about polyculture and how the yields of nut trees paired with other complementary crops are not far off from the amount of food produced in industrial agriculture, with few of the negative external factors.-- Host: Nicholas GillCo-host: Juliana DuqueProduced by Nicholas Gill & Juliana DuqueRecording & Editing by New Worlder https://www.newworlder.com Read more at New Worlder: https://www.newworlder.com

The brand portfolio of Glanbia Performance Nutrition is the definition of a beige flag...not offensive, but not particularly inspiring or exciting either! Glanbia Plc (LON:GLB) is a multibillion-dollar global nutrition company that's currently comprised of three divisions that span across the B2B supply chain (i.e. Health & Nutrition and Dairy Nutrition) and branded products (Performance Nutrition). “Health & Nutrition” is a leading global ingredients solutions business, providing value added ingredient and flavor solutions to a range of attractive, high-growth end markets. In the first half of 2025, revenue increased by 18% YoY. Also, Glanbia announced the acquisition of Sweetmix, a Brazil-based nutritional premix and ingredients solutions business that will reportedly enable the Health & Nutrition segment to continue its Latin America expansion. “Dairy Nutrition” is the number one producer of American-style cheddar cheese in the U.S. market, but more importantly (for my audience) the number one producer of whey protein isolate…and provides a wide range of dairy and functional protein solutions. In the first half of 2025, revenue increased by 14.1%. The brands in the Glanbia Performance Nutrition portfolio include; Optimum Nutrition, BSN, think!, Isopure, Amazing Grass, and SlimFast. Glanbia Performance Nutrition had first half 2025 revenue that declined by 3.8% YoY, driven by a volume decrease of 3.5% and a price decrease of 0.3%. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical, sales channel, product format, and categorial performance. As part of the branded products portfolio part of the group-wide transformation program announced last November, Glanbia had begun the sale process on the weight management brand SlimFast (that was acquired for $350 million in 2018) and announced it signed an agreement for the sale of Body & Fit (that was acquired in 2017). So, if negative impact from non-core brands were excluded from the first half performance, GPN revenue would have only declined 1.5% YoY. Optimum Nutrition, which was the initial M&A transaction in 2008 that created the GPN division, now represents 67% of the total revenue. In the last year, Optimum Nutrition generated revenue of approximately $1.2 billion. The other largest share of GPN revenue is the healthy lifestyle brand portfolio makes up 19% and includes ISOPURE, think!, and Amazing Grass. While these healthy lifestyle portfolio brands have collectively performed relatively strong over the last several years, revenue was only up 0.6% YoY in the first half of 2025. And for the final portion of my latest first principles thinking content, I'll focus my “beige flag” assessment by examining GPN revenue by product format...and discuss the new ISOPURE protein water, think! crispy squares, and several new powdered supplement innovations like Optimum Nutrition creatine plus. I'll end with a discussion around what should be the strategic "north star" for Glanbia Performance Nutrition.

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says more than $5 billion in credit will go to companies which face 50 per cent tariffs to export goods to the US. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, says a controversial deal that the White House struck with chipmakers Nvidia and AMD, handing over 15% of their Chinese sales in return for export licences, could be rolled out to other industries. Startup companies in the US have started a no-shoes-in-the-office policy, meaning that you take your shoes off when you come into the office and wear optional slippers.Throughout the programme, Leanna Byrne will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world – Diane Brady, Executive Editorial Director at Fortune magazine in New York, and Han-Shen Lin, China Country Director, The Asia Group, in Shanghai.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Billie T, Vass Koni and Ash as the panel discuss the latest developments of Spurs in the transfer window. Tottenham fans woke up to the news this morning that the Lilywhites are in talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Eberechi Eze. According to some sources, Spurs now know exactly what it would take to sign Eze while their North London rivals, Arsenal, are hesitating to substantiate their interest in the 27-year-old. This development comes on the back of multiple outlets suggesting over the last two days that Tottenham are also locked in negotiations with Manchester City for Savinho. While it is clear that the North Londoners have not reached an agreement over the transfer of either player, Spurs fans will be encouraged by what is being reported about the duo's intentions. According to reports, Eze is keen on completing a move to Tottenham if the club can agree a fee with Crystal Palace.Meanwhile, sources from Brazil have claimed that Savinho has already said ‘yes' to Spurs as he is keen to play regular football ahead of next summer's World Cup.

Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Our Global Economist Arunima Sinha looks at the cases of South Africa and Brazil to explain why it's a subject of decades-long debate. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Arunima Sinha: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Arunima Sinha, Global Economist at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about how inflation targets of central banks matter for market participants and economic activity.It's Tuesday, August 12th at 10am in New York. Tariff driven inflation is at the center of financial market debates right now. The received wisdom is that a central bank should look through one-off increases in prices if – and it is an important if – inflation expectations are anchored low enough. Inflation targets, inflation expectations, and central bank credibility have been debated for decades. The Fed's much criticized view that COVID inflation would be transitory was based on the assumption that anchored inflation expectations would pull inflation down. The Fed is more cautious now after four years of above target inflation. Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Far away from the U.S., the South Africa Reserve Bank, SARB, is providing a real time experiment. The SARB's inflation target was originally a range of 3 to 6 per cent, with an intention to shift to 2 to 4 percent over time. At its last meeting, the SARB announced that it was going to target the bottom end of the range, de facto shifting to a 3 percent target. A decision by the Ministry of Finance in the coming months is likely necessary to formalise the outcome, but the SARB has succeeded in pulling inflation down. It has established credibility, but we suspect that more work is needed to anchor inflation expectations firmly at 3 percent. Key to the SARS challenge, as the Fed's – the central bank cannot control all the drivers of inflation in the short run. For South Africa, fiscal targets and exchange rate movements are prime examples. The experience in Brazil offers insight for South Africa. The BCB adopted an inflation target in 1999 following the end of the currency peg that helps the transition away from hyperinflation. The target was initially set at 8 percent, lowered to 4.5 percent in 2005, and then lowered again to 3 percent in 2024.Fiscal outcomes, market expectations, and currency volatility have been hard to contain. The lessons apply to South Africa and also the Fed. Successful inflation targeting relies on a clear framework, but also on institutional strength and political consensus. For South Africa, as inflation falls ex-ante real interest rates will rise. That outcome will be necessary to restrain the economy enough to make sure that the path to 3 percent is achieved. For an open EM economy, there likely needs to be consistency by both monetary and fiscal authorities with regard to short-term pressures, both internal and external. While we ultimately expect the SARB to be able to anchor inflation expectations, the journey may not be a quick one; and that journey will likely depend on keeping real interest rates on the higher side to ensure the convergence.We take the experiences of South Africa and Brazil to be informative globally. Simply announcing an inflation target likely does not solve the problem. The Fed, for example, spent much of the 2010s hoping to get inflation up to target – while now ironically, inflation in the US has run above target for almost half a decade. Whether the lingering effects of the COVID inflation has affected the price setting mechanism is unclear, as is whether tariff driven inflation will exacerbate the situation. Our read of the evidence is that inflation expectations and central bank credibility come from hitting the target, not from announcing it. Thanks for listening.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-12-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Københavns Lufthavn var som en levende blok af energi denne sommerdag.En: Copenhagen Airport was like a living block of energy this summer day.Da: Folk skyndte sig fra A til B, stressede for ikke at misse deres fly.En: People rushed from A to B, stressed about not missing their flights.Da: En behagelig duft af kaffe fyldte luften, mens annoncer svævede gennem terminalerne.En: A pleasant scent of coffee filled the air, while announcements drifted through the terminals.Da: Ved bagagebåndet lå en mystisk kuffert.En: By the luggage belt lay a mysterious suitcase.Da: Den var ubemærket, som om den ventede på, at nogen skulle opdage dens hemmeligheder.En: It was unremarked, as if it was waiting for someone to discover its secrets.Da: Freja, der altid havde været nysgerrig, kunne ikke lade være med at lægge mærke til den.En: Freja, who had always been curious, couldn't help but notice it.Da: Hun nærmede sig forsigtigt og så sig omkring.En: She approached cautiously and looked around.Da: Lars, en sikkerhedsvagt, bemærkede snart Frejas interesse.En: Lars, a security guard, soon noticed Freja's interest.Da: Hans job var at beskytte, og en efterladt kuffert var ingen lille sag.En: His job was to protect, and an abandoned suitcase was no small matter.Da: "Frøken, du kan ikke være her," sagde han roligt men bestemt.En: "Miss, you can't be here," he said calmly but firmly.Da: Freja trak sig lidt tilbage, men tanken om kuffertens indhold forsvandt ikke.En: Freja retreated slightly, but the thought of the suitcase's contents didn't vanish.Da: Imens stod en rejsende, Mikkel, og stirrede på kufferten med et let forvirret udtryk.En: Meanwhile, a traveler, Mikkel, stood staring at the suitcase with a slightly confused expression.Da: Han fumlede med sin taske, da han så Freja nærme sig igen.En: He fumbled with his bag when he saw Freja approaching again.Da: “Hej, ved du noget om den kuffert?En: "Hey, do you know anything about that suitcase?"Da: ” spurgte Freja ligeud til Mikkel, der svarede, “Måske.En: Freja asked outright to Mikkel, who replied, "Maybe.Da: Den minder mig om noget fra min sidste rejse.En: It reminds me of something from my last trip."Da: ” Hans svar var vagt, og Freja var ikke overbevist.En: His answer was vague, and Freja was not convinced.Da: Beslutsomheden skinnede i Frejas øjne.En: Determination shone in Freja's eyes.Da: "Mikkel, vil du ikke hjælpe mig med at finde ud af, hvad der er indeni?En: "Mikkel, won't you help me figure out what's inside?"Da: " hun pressede.En: she pressed.Da: Mikkel tøvede et øjeblik, men nikkede så, nysgerrigheden havde fanget ham også.En: Mikkel hesitated for a moment but then nodded, the curiosity having caught him too.Da: Lars var mere og mere bekymret.En: Lars grew more and more concerned.Da: Han kunne ikke lade folk rode med en ukendt kuffert, men Freja og Mikkel gled langsomt ud af hans synsfelt.En: He couldn't let people meddle with an unknown suitcase, but Freja and Mikkel slowly slipped out of his sight.Da: De trak kufferten hen til et skjult hjørne, væk fra nysgerrige blikke.En: They pulled the suitcase to a hidden corner, away from prying eyes.Da: Med en hurtig fælles indsats fik de åbnet kufferten.En: With a quick joint effort, they opened the suitcase.Da: Indeni lå ikke noget farligt.En: Inside lay nothing dangerous.Da: I stedet var der en samling af usædvanlige souvenirer fra forskellige lande: en fjer fra Brasilien, en kurv fra Kenya, og små skulpturer fra Japan.En: Instead, there was a collection of unusual souvenirs from various countries: a feather from Brazil, a basket from Kenya, and small sculptures from Japan.Da: Mikkel lo lettet.En: Mikkel laughed in relief.Da: "De er mine minder fra rejse," indrømmede han.En: "They are my travel memories," he admitted.Da: "Jeg er bare distræt.En: "I'm just absent-minded."Da: "Freja smilede, hendes nysgerrighed tilfredsstillet.En: Freja smiled, her curiosity satisfied.Da: Hun indså, at selvom hun elskede eventyr, var der værdi i forsigtighed.En: She realized that even though she loved adventure, there was value in caution.Da: Lars, der havde fulgt efter dem, så hele scenen udfolde sig og kunne mærke sin egen stivhed løsne lidt.En: Lars, who had followed them, watched the whole scene unfold and could feel his own rigidity loosen a bit.Da: Måske kunne eventyrlyst nogle gange føre til mere forståelse.En: Maybe a sense of adventure could sometimes lead to greater understanding.Da: Kufferten blev afleveret tilbage til Mikkel.En: The suitcase was returned to Mikkel.Da: Som solen begyndte at sænke sig over flyene derude, gik Freja videre, nu med en ny respekt for både nysgerrighed og forsigtighed.En: As the sun began to set over the planes outside, Freja moved on, now with a newfound respect for both curiosity and caution.Da: Lars, der så hende gå, vidste, at han også havde lært noget: at være lidt mere åben overfor det uventede.En: Lars, watching her leave, knew that he had also learned something: to be a bit more open to the unexpected.

By integrating our shadow and aligning with source consciousness, we reclaim wholeness. In this episode, spiritual healer Igor Galibov shares his transformation through spiritual surgery in Brazil at age 24. During an out-of-body experience, he witnessed the procedure from behind the healer while simultaneously being operated on. Within six months, all physical ailments - polyps, allergies, rashes completely disappeared, and his consciousness expanded to see energy, travel dimensions, and perceive future events. Disease originates in five energy bodies before manifesting physically. The key to healing? Befriending our darkness, the ignored aspects of ourselves needing awareness. When we invite these traits in with love and curiosity, darkness transforms into light. Igor explores Jesus and Mary Magdalene as twin souls whose sacred union created dimensional portals through unified masculine-feminine consciousness. The path to wholeness: heal fragmented aspects, unite inner energies, and remember we are the universe experiencing itself.

Morgan Stanley Research looks at how changes in demographics, ownership, and distribution can boost tech adoption to revolutionize the global sports industry. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Cesar Medina: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Cesar Medina, Morgan Stanley's Latin America Technology, Media, and Telecom Analyst. Today – we discuss what's driving the digital revolution in global sports. And what it means for fans as well as investors. It's Monday, August 11th, at 10am in New York.These days, watching a sporting event at home usually means streaming the big game on a large 4K HDR screen. Maybe even 8K for premium events. You might access real time stats from a supporting app or social media on a secondary device. Maybe even have a group chat with friends. But imagine a game with real-time personalized stats. Immersive alternate camera angles. Or even experiencing the match from a player's perspective—all powered by AI. These innovations are already being tested and rolled out in select leagues. Global sports generates half a trillion dollars in annual revenues. Despite all that cash, until very recently the industry was slow to embrace digital technology, lagging behind movies and music. Now that's changing – and fast.So, what's driving this transformation? Three powerful forces are closing this digital gap. One – younger, tech-savvy audiences demanding more immersive and personalized experiences. Two – new distribution models, with digital platforms stepping into the arena. And three – institutional investment, bringing capital and a push for modernization. You might ask – what does this all mean for fans, investors, and the future of entertainment? Let's start with fans. Today's sports fans aren't just watching—they're interacting, betting, gaming, and sharing. And younger fans are leading the charge. They are spending more time online and expect hyper-personalized content. They're more interested in individual athletes than teams, and they engage through social media, fantasy sports, and interactive platforms. Surveys show that fans under 35 are significantly more likely to spend money on sports if the experience is digital-first. Some leagues have seen viewership jump by 40 percent after introducing interactive features. Others are using AI to personalize content, boosting engagement and revenue. Digital transformation isn't just about watching games though—it's about reimagining the entire ecosystem. When it comes to live events, smart venues are using AI to adjust ticket prices based on weather, opposing team, and demand. Some are even using facial recognition for faster entry and purchases. Streaming platforms are making broadcasts more interactive, while combating piracy with predictive tech. As for engagement, fantasy sports, esports, and betting are booming. AI-driven platforms are helping fans make smarter picks—and spend more. Altogether, these innovations could boost global sports revenues by over 25 percent, adding more than $130 billion in value. While North America leads in monetization, Emerging Markets are catching up fast. In India, Brazil, and the Middle East, for example, sports franchises are seeing double-digit growth in value—sometimes outpacing traditional media. And here's the kicker: many of these regions have younger populations and faster-growing digital adoption. That's a recipe for serious growth. Meanwhile, niche sports and women's leagues are also gaining global traction, expanding the definition of mainstream entertainment. Of course, this transformation of the sports industry faces real hurdles—technical expertise, budget constraints, and cultural resistance among coaches and athletes. But the incentives are clear. And as more capital flows into sports—from private equity to sovereign wealth funds—digital transformation is becoming a strategic priority. So, what's the biggest takeaway? Global sports is no longer just about what happens on the field. It's about how fans experience it—on their phones, in their homes, and in the stadiums of the future. So whether you're an investor, a fan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this is a game worth watching. Thanks for listening.

From June 7, 2023: On January 1, 2023, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in as president of Brazil. A week later, insurrectionists in Brazil stormed government buildings, including the president's palace, the Supreme Federal Court, and the National Congress building to violently disrupt the democratic transition of power and challenge the results of the election. Lula, however, remained undeterred and forged ahead. It's been roughly 150 days since those events, and Lawfare Legal Fellow Saraphin Dhanani sat down with Brian Winter, Editor-in-Chief of Americas Quarterly and a journalist with over a decade of experience living and reporting across Latin America, to discuss how Lula has fared in his first 100 days in office, his vision for reviving Brazil's place in the world, and the political forces he's up against.
