//The Wire//2300Z May 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MULTIPLE STABBING ATTACKS REPORTED IN GERMANY, ONE MASS STABBING AND TWO INCIDENTS INVOLVING SCHOOLCHILDREN. BRITISH AIRWAYS QUIETLY EXTENDS HALT OF FLIGHTS TO ISRAEL DUE TO SECURITY CONCERNS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: Yesterday two stabbing attacks occurred in primary schools throughout the nation, both of which appear to have started as arguments between students.The first stabbing incident occurred in Spandau and involved an 11-year-old being stabbed by a fellow classmate at Weinmeisterhorn Elementary School. The victim remains hospitalized in intensive care following the incident, which began as a schoolyard fight that ended with the other student stabbing the victim.The second stabbing incident occurred a few hours after the first, in the town of Remschied. In this case an 11-year-old stabbed a fellow classmate (aged 13-years-old), allegedly due to a dispute between the two.This morning a mass stabbing was reported at the central train station in Hamburg. 12x victims were wounded in the attack, with 3x remaining in critical condition. The assailant was arrested at the scene, but has not been identified as of this report.AC: Some reports conflict on the identity of the assailant. Some sources claim the attacker was female, while others state that it was male, or at minimum of questionable status.Middle East: This morning Israeli media reported that British Airways canceled all flights in and out of Israel until July 31, due to security concerns.AC: This is an interesting case as British Airways hasn't publicly acknowledged this development, at least not yet. As a reminder, British Airways (along with a few other smaller airlines) had halted all flights into and out of Israel's Ben Gurion airport due to successful Houthi missile strikes a few months ago. Overnight, it seems as though Israeli journalists went onto the British Airways website and discovered that tickets could not be booked for the airport until August. As such, what is being touted as a flight-ban is probably a quiet and non-publicized extension of a pre-existing flight ban for security reasons.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Right now details on both juvenile-linked stabbing incidents in Germany are sketchy at best; Quite literally zero mainstream media outlets have mentioned either incident...even Googling these stories turns up zero search results. However, the small handful of local German-language media sources have suggested that both assailants were German citizens of an immigrant origin. A few AfD politicians and figures have also made similar statements, but since the offenders are juveniles, very little investigation will be conducted due to Germany's procedures involving underage criminals.Similarly, the ax-attack that occurred two days ago in the parking lot of a grocery store in France has received little media attention and has subsequently been hard to find any details on. Most local French-language independent media that has mentioned the story seem to think this ax-murder was intra-cultural violence situation as both the victim and perpetrator were of Turkish ethnicity. In any case, though these brutal attacks and murders are very common throughout Europe, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find out that an attack occurs in the first place. In almost all cases, the only way the world knows of an attack is via individual citizens posting about the incident on social media in such a way that does not trigger algorithmic suppression of the information.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Building a direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand offers an incredible opportunity to connect with customers and foster long-term brand loyalty. But while the rewards can be significant, so too are the challenges and barriers to entry. That's why I wanted to speak with someone who has successfully navigated this journey for our season focus on sales.From modest beginnings in a Shoreditch coffee shop in 2011, David Abrahamovitch has built Grind into one of the UK's leading DTC coffee brands. Having built a hugely loyal customer base, it's estimated a Grind coffee is enjoyed every 2.8 seconds in the UK. David's business has also grown through partnerships with the likes of British Airways & Soho House. Keep listening to hear David's advice on how to build a DTC brand & how to leverage community-building to generate sales. David's advice:Accept that everything is sales; sell to yourself constantlyWith every small sale you are building a following and a brandPitching your product should not worry you; you know more than anyone else about it, so you have nothing to fearAlways know your numbers; but also tell the story of the history of the brand, and your plans for its futureBe optimistic - but not delusional!DTC is more work in that you have to have a website / attract people to that website / and  deal with the packaging and the postingWhereas  selling through a retailer you only need to advertise the productBUT DTC gives you access to customers' data and allows you to build a relationship with themSo selling through both the above is perhaps optimalAdvertising is essential for DTC selling - Facebook / Instagram / email / tube car panels are all useful; expect to spend up to 30% of revenue on marketing which will be a constant burdenRetaining customers is everything; the product must be a good oneIf customers unsubscribe, find out why so that you can fix the problemUse AI to help with small repetitive edits, not to replace people, just to speed up what they doIn order to attract young talent, create a culture that they will understand and like; always be thoughtful with your team and make sure they understand their job, their position and the company missionFF&M enables you to own your own PR & produces podcasts.Recorded, edited & published by Juliet Fallowfield, 2024 MD & Founder of PR & Communications consultancy for startups Fallow, Field & Mason.  Email us at hello@fallowfieldmason.com or DM us on instagram @fallowfieldmason. FF&M recommends: Buzzsprout podcast 'how to' & hosting directoryCanva has proved invaluable for creating all the social media assets and audio bites.MUSIC CREDIT Funk Game Loop by Kevin MacLeod.  Link &  LicenceText us your questions for future founders.

“ Our hospitality starts with education, but it's also having a welcoming point of view.”Scott Young, Founder of SSWING, an innovative indoor golf training facility in New York City, and an expert golfer joins the podcast today to hash out the meaning of hospitality and dive into his business. They discuss the broader meaning of hospitality in various environments, focusing on creating a welcoming yet challenging space to help people improve. The conversation dives into Scott's analytical approach to golf using math and biomechanics, balancing customer comfort with pushing them to new limits. Scott shares insights from his touring days and stories about the honesty and pressure in golf. The episode highlights the importance of process-oriented improvement and maintaining a clear mental focus.Takeaways: Whether it's golf or any other aspect of life, embrace a mindset of continuous improvement and commit to bettering yourself.Aim to have a consistent and clear process for achieving your goals. In golf, this means focusing on your pre-shot routine and execution rather than being overly concerned with the outcome.Utilize technology such as biomechanics assessments, high-speed cameras, and other tools to get precise feedback and improve your performance.Develop mental resilience by practicing staying focused and present in high-pressure situations. This can be beneficial in sports and various other stressful scenarios in life.If appropriate for your business, consider a membership model to build a committed community and create a steady revenue stream.After any performance or practice, reflect honestly on your process and identify areas where you either succeeded or could improve.Use personal stories and experiences, whether from a professional athlete or your own life, to gain insights and inspire your growth journey.Quote of the Show:“  My essence of SSWING is that every single person who walks through our door leaves a better golfer or a better mover.” - Scott YoungLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-young-28b5569/ Website: https://www.sswing.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot-the-path/id1713829364 Shout Outs:3:28 - Rosemary Young https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosemary-k-young-92b4821/ 4:54 - Shinnecock Hills Golf Club https://www.shinnecockhillsgolfclub.org/ 4:55 - Augusta National https://www.masters.com/index.html/ 12:04 - New York University https://www.nyu.edu/ 14:17 - David Kennedy https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kennedy-03821b3/ 16:46 - British Airways https://www.britishairways.com/travel/classic-home/public/en_us/ 16:56 - JFK Airport https://www.jfkairport.com/ 22:15 - PGA https://www.pgatour.com/ 23:46 - Callaway https://www.callawaygolf.com/ 34:43 - Australian Open https://ausopen.com/ 38:09 - Rory McIlroy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_McIlroy 38:36 - Tiger Woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods 39:30 - Jack Nicklaus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicklaus 42:53 - Max Verstappen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Verstappen 42:54: Roger Federer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer 47:42 - US Open https://www.usopen.com/

Ever have a day at work so bad you wanted to climb, jump, or get sucked out a window?On today's episode:  we answer the question, is 2025 in fact as awful a time to fly as it looks; we'll find out why you've never seen 400 mph wind exfoliation spa before; and we'll compare a commercial airliner to the Titan Submersible that imploded not that long ago.And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discuss: how a distrust of doctors can make you want to saw off your own fingers; you'd hear this whole jank sitch broken down for Gen Z; you'd learn why you shouldn't melon-ball your eyes out of your head if they get too cold; and we would meet the coldest person to ever live, and her dramatic journey from river corpse to successful radiologist.It's a pleasure to once again be able to present a story of survival so horrific you'd risk permanent sinus damage just listening to it. Not since our William Rankin Weathersode Disaster of 1959 episode have we followed in the footsteps of someone so unassumingly superhuman that they survived unimaginable levels of injury and torture. This episode also acted as double duty, answering the question: is it still safe for me to fly in 2025. We'll talk about the FAA, but we're not talking about politics. The closest I will come is to say it's entirely possible that one day America is run by write-in candidate, Walt Disney's unfrozen head mounted on Abraham Lincoln's animatronic body from the Hall of Presidents. America can do as it pleases. I am simply here to try to keep people safe, regardless on how you feel about the issue.

El pasado jueves el aeropuerto de Heathrow, el más transitado de Europa, sufrió un apagón que paralizó sus operaciones durante casi 18 horas. El incidente, ocurrido tras un incendio en una subestación eléctrica a pocos kilómetros del aeropuerto, afectó a más de 200.000 pasajeros y provocó la cancelación o desvío de unos 1.300 vuelos. A pesar de contar con un sistema de respaldo compuesto por generadores diésel, estos no fueron suficientes para mantener operativa las terminales. Los vuelos se reanudaron parcialmente el viernes por la noche, se priorizaron la repatriación de pasajeros y la reubicación de aeronaves. Para este sábado, Heathrow anunció que estaba ya "completamente operativo", aunque aerolíneas como British Airways, advirtieron que las cancelaciones podrían aún extenderse varios días. El impacto que este suceso ha provocado en el Reino Unido ha sido muy grande. La oposición señala al Gobierno de Keir Starmer, mientras que los laboristas se escudan en que se encontraron en julio infinidad de problemas de infraestructura que llevará muchos años reparar. El hecho es que no hay dinero en la caja. El mismo día del apagón el Gobierno anunciaba un plan de recorte social que se sumaba a otras medidas que adoptó el año pasado como la de reducir el subsidio a la calefacción para los pensionistas. El nuevo plan de ajuste incluye una revisión más estricta de los beneficios por discapacidad y una reducción en el gasto en programas de bienestar infantil. Starmer ha insistido en que estos ajustes no buscan castigar a los más necesitados, sino racionalizar un sistema de ayudas sociales que, según él, es tan generoso como insostenible. Necesitan equilibrar las cuentas porque la deuda es elevada y el déficit lleva años fuera de control. Para Starmer las decisiones difíciles de hoy asegurarán un futuro más justo y próspero para todos los británicos en el futuro. El contexto económico no puede ignorarse. La inflación, aunque ha disminuido desde su máximo a finales de 2022, sigue siendo alta, ronda el 4%, por lo que el coste de la vida sigue estando entre las principales preocupaciones de los británicos. El crecimiento económico es minúsculo, de apenas el 0,9% el año pasado, un crecimiento que la inflación se come sobradamente. Ante esto no queda otra opción que acometer un plan de ajuste presupuestario. En su partido y, en general, en la izquierda británica no ha gustado demasiado. Desde el laborismo le acusan de priorizar los recortes sobre lo que denominan “inversión social”. Es decir, que Starmer parece estar apostando por una recuperación económica a largo plazo, pero a costa de alienar a su propia base electoral. Para la oposición conservadora el plan de Starmer ha sido como un regalo caído del cielo. Los tories atraviesan una profunda crisis desde la derrota del pasado mes de julio, una crisis agravada por la irrupción de Reform UK, un partido que se ubica a su derecha y que les está succionando votos. Kemi Badenoch, la líder del partido desde noviembre está aprovechando esto al máximo para desgastar al Gobierno. Le acusa de hipocresía tras haber prometido proteger a los más vulnerables durante la campaña. Entretanto, sindicatos y grupos de activistas ya están convocando protestas en las que exigen que se reviertan los recortes. Para colmo de males el empeoramiento de la situación internacional ha forzado a Starmer a elevar el gasto en defensa en un momento en el que lo que no tiene es dinero. Esa es tormenta la que tendrá que atravesar a lo largo de los próximos meses. Para hablar sobre ello y aprovechando que me encuentro en el mismo Reino Unido he invitado a Paco Muñoz, a quien los contraescuchas que siguen mi canal de YouTube conocieron la semana pasada en un vídeo que hicimos juntos.
