A groundbreaking five-month study on cockroaches reveals that magnetic field exposure significantly reduces gut mass and disrupts cellular defense systems. R Blank explores new research showing how magnetic fields act as biological stressors, altering antioxidant enzyme activity and digestive function in ways that challenge our understanding of "safe" exposure levels. This study provides compelling evidence that long-term magnetic field exposure produces measurable biological effects across species. In This Episode How five months of magnetic field exposure reduced cockroach gut mass Why disrupted antioxidant systems matter for cellular health What this means for our daily exposure to magnetic fields Featured Study Long - term exposure of cockroach Blaptica dubia (Insecta: Blaberidae) nymphs to magnetic fields of different characteristics: Effects on antioxidant biomarkers and nymphal gut mass.

Show your support for Hospitality Sector Letter to the ChancellorWhat happens when two people who love a bit of unstructured behaviour get together for a structured conversation?The answer?Lots of unstructured conversationThis week I sat down with Conrad Brunton, founder of Tonic Talent, passionate hospitality advocate, charity champion, networking powerhouse… and a man who clearly believes that if you're going to do something, you might as well do it properly.Before we get into his journey. Conrad is seeking your help. If you have even a tiny sliver of love for Hospitality, please follow the link at the top of the page and put your name to support his open letter to the chancellorTo his story, From washing pots at 14, to running the best fish and chip shop in England (Genuinely), to bankruptcy, to building a respected recruitment business and one of the Midlands' most influential hospitality networks, Conrad's story is packed with resilience, humour, honesty, and a few brilliant war stories.Including… dropping a potato down the shirt of a senior British politician just before he went on stageYes. That actually happened.But underneath the laughs is a deeper conversation about pride in your work, why hospitality people are wired differently, and the importance of standing up for an industry that so many of us love.In this episode, Conrad and I get into…• Starting in hospitality at 14 as a KP and discovering the “buzz” of kitchens• The concept of restaurants being “a cockroach in the bloodstream” (credit: Sir Terence Conran)• Working at incredible places like Simpsons, Malmaison and the Fat Duck• Opening a fish and chip shop, and eventually being named the best in England• What bankruptcy really teaches you about resilience and self-belief• Why recruitment is really about conversations, not CVs• Building Tonic Talent, now celebrating 10 years in hospitality recruitment• Why great recruiters should feel like an extension of your brand• The importance of culture, accountability, and simple things like a good checklist• The incredible power of hospitality communities and networks• Why the industry needs to stand up for itself right now more than everSome cracking quoteables from Conrad“Restaurants are like a cockroach in the bloodstream, once it's there, it never leaves”“If you're going to do something, do it to the absolute best of your ability”“I don't actually like recruitment… I like the conversations”“Treat people the way you'd want to be treated, it's not complicated”“Hospitality people love what they do. Not many industries can say that”Why this episode is worth your earsConrad's journey is a brilliant reminder that hospitality careers are rarely straight lines.They're messy.They're unpredictable.Sometimes they knock you flat.But if hospitality gets into your bloodstream…You tend to find your way back.And along the way you might build something pretty special.Just try not to drop a potato down anyone's shirt.Show PartnersA big shout out to the first of today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news Trump has got his distraction war, flooding the recent zone of poor news with an adventure he has created. Business eyes will be on how the financial markets react. (Others can watch the politics.) So far, the equity futures markets have the S&P500 virtually unchanged (+0.1%), the US Treasury 10 year down -8 bps from their Friday close, and the USD (DXY) lower from Friday, but little-changed from a week ago. Oil prices will be closely watched, because the Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Iran. So far they are up 3% in off-market weekend reactions. Gold is up modestly so far too, but silver and platinum have jumped sharply, both gaining about +6% and both heading back toward the late-January peaks. Spreads, or the premium companies must pay over a risk-free US Treasury, are at their highest since November for investment grade companies, and their the highest since December for those with a sub-investment grade rating. But first, looking ahead this week, there is a raft of second tier data released locally, including some trade, and more importantly mortgage markets data. And we will get the Q4-2025 RBNZ Dashboard data, exposing the winners and losers among the local banks. In Australia. it will be all about the Q4-2025 GDP, and household spending data this week In the US on the economic front, they will have their non-farm payrolls report for February at the end of the week. We will get independent ISM PMIs and retail sales updated too. In China, data will be relatively light as Beijing insists its news attention is on their next five year plan meetings. But there will be PMIs out in China, as well as Canada, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Trade data are also scheduled from Indonesia, while inflation figures will be released in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Additionally, the Malaysian central bank is set to announce its latest monetary policy decision. Over the weekend, the US PPI release shows that inflation has their producer prices firmly in its grip. Year-on-year this measure of industrial inflation wasn't too special at +2.9%, but core PPI was up +3.4% and the jump in January from December of +0.5% grabbed analysts' attention. Tariff-taxes are driving the increases as importers refuse to absorb some of these costs anymore. Meanwhile some of this also showed up in the Chicago PMI for February. The Chicago Business Barometer was expected to ease lower. Rather it leapt into a strong expansion. It was so different to the data around it on the ground had suggested, it might be wise not to jump to any early conclusions on the gain. And let's not forget the growing worries about 'cockroaches'. Concerns about the risks of private credit are not going away just because they are overshadowed by geopolitical tensions. In fact, those tensions will bring risk aversion and likely magnify the private credit risks. Investors who want out could trigger something big. Across the Pacific, Korean exports turned in another gigantic result in February, showing that the extraordinary January was no fluke. Their exports were +29.0% that a year ago at a record US$67.5 bln for the month, and this was even though there were three fewer working days and the Lunar New Year holiday break. It is another extraordinary result. Both the US and China saw imports from Korea rise more than +30% for each. In China, we should keep an eye on their car industry. They have returned from holiday with a large excess of unsold stock and are responding with promotions that feature heavy discounting. This may trigger a reckoning for many carmakers, large or small. Like their property industry, it could have wide-ranging implications. And staying in China, according to estimates by China International Capital Corp, roughly ¥75 tln (NZ$18 tln) in household term deposits will mature this year, and most of it had maturities of one year or longer. Most will be reinvested, but with such enormous flows, even small amounts diverted (to say gold, or higher risk/return options) will have very important impacts. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 3.96%, down -6 bps from this time Saturday.  The price of gold will start today up +US$93 from yesterday at US$5278/oz. Silver is up +US$5.50 at US$93/oz today. When global markets reopen, it will be unsurprising to see these prices rise sharply. American oil prices are up almost +US$2 at just on US$67/bbl, while the international Brent price is now just under US$73/bbl. But when global markets reopen today, expect a sharp rise as well. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged against the USD from Saturday, still just on 60 USc. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 84.3 AUc. We are little-changed against the yen as well. Against the euro we are holding at 50.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today basically the same as Saturday, still just on 63.4. The bitcoin price starts today at US$66,168 and up +0.7% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate, also at just over +/- 2.3%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

This is our weekly market update where we start in the US, cross to Europe and Asia and end in Australia, covering commodities and crypto along the way. Financial and tech stocks were hit hard by a handful of persistent investor worries on Friday, with U.S. stocks suffering their largest monthly percentage declines in a … Continue reading "Here Come The Cockroaches: Stagflation City Ahead!"

Every superhero has their origin story, and a superhero of science is no different…From watching slater bugs and catching non-venomous snakes in her garden just outside Toronto in Canada, to harnessing lizards with palm fronds in the Caribbean, Tanya Latty was always going to study animals.But it wasn't until an invertebrate zoology class that her "mind exploded" and her passion for entomology became clear.She went to the Rocky Mountains to study mountain pine beetles for her PhD — where she also accidentally studied bears and cougars up close.These days Tanya is based in Australia and raises awareness and understanding of invertebrates after bushfires.This is the origin story of Associate Professor Tanya Latty.Featuring:Associate Professor Tanya Latty, entomologist and insect ecologist at the University of SydneyProduction:Ann Jones, Presenter / ProducerRebecca McLaren, ProducerHamish Camilleri, Sound EngineerThis episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the land of the Wadawarrung and Taungurung people.Find more episodes of the ABC podcast, What the Duck?! with the always curious Dr Ann Jones exploring the mysteries of nature on the ABC Listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Back in October, foreigners sold a massive $61.2 billion in LT UST assets, the most since April. While that may sound like the “sell America” and Treasury rejection narrative from the summer, it's actually proof that the Fed's bank reserves are irrelevant. Remember October? Repo rates soaring.

In his latest memo, Howard Marks examines the recent string of well-publicized credit problems. He considers how they serve as a reminder that the yield premium offered by sub-investment grade credit isn't a freebie, but rather compensation for bearing credit risk. While good times lead to complacency and elevated risk tolerance, bad times expose the results of that carelessness. Howard emphasizes that it's essential to always balance the desire to put money to work with the need for prudence.You can read the memo here (https://oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/cockroaches-in-the-coal-mine).

Episode 21 of the Ask Away series addresses diverse questions on kosher laws, Jewish practices, and spiritual growth, emphasizing practical application and Torah sourcing. Recorded post-Sukkot, the session encourages questioning to deepen understanding. Key themes include:Kosher Laws: Blood is forbidden (Leviticus 17:11), requiring precise kashering (soaking, salting, rinsing). Glass vessels' non-absorptive nature will be clarified later. Pre-kashered meat doesn't need re-kashering when cut, and chicken hearts require special preparation (cutting, rinsing, salting). Contaminated water undermines kashering, necessitating clean water (0:42–25:27).Animal Welfare: Hunting is not Jewish; kosher animals are confined for painless slaughter (shechita). Esau's hunting skill (aided by Adam's garments) was exceptional but not normative, as Jews avoid tza'ar ba'alei chaim (5:31–9:42).Health and Hygiene: Sick animals are non-kosher due to defects (e.g., cancer), requiring post-slaughter inspection. Cockroaches can be removed on Shabbat without killing, and hand-washing reflects halachic hygiene awareness (13:24–24:29).Happiness and Gratitude: Marriage fosters selflessness, per Yevamot 62b, paralleling God's giving. Reciting 100 daily blessings cultivates gratitude, preventing entitlement. Ungrateful children given everything become miserable, unlike those earning rewards (27:06–33:14).Teshuva and Past: Embracing one's past, even with trauma, fuels teshuva and growth. Gratitude prevents “stealing” from oneself the chance to connect with Hashem (35:42–38:31).Marriage and Responsibility: Constant love and selflessness in marriage mirror God's giving. Stories of Rav Scherer and Senator Lieberman highlight prioritizing home duties, reinforcing marriage's role in personal growth (39:17–46:38).Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #71) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

High-profile US bankruptcies, First Brands and Tricolor have sent warning signals to regulators about the dangers of opaque financings, shining a light on private credit.Are these cases one offs, given allegations of fraud, or will there be more cockroaches to follow?In this episode of Distressed Diaries, 9fin's senior distressed reporter Bianca Boorer sat down with senior distressed reporter Alessia Argentieri and private credit reporter Gregory Rosenvinge to talk about risks lurking in private credit.We address some defaults, recent takeovers by private credit funds and lessons learned from the First Brands case.We also touch on some new tools the private credit market is employing to increase its liquidity further.

Don and Tom go after one of their favorite targets: bad actors in the financial industry—especially those who flee regulation by becoming insurance salesmen. They break down a shocking new study showing that 98% of brokers kicked out by FINRA stay in the business by selling annuities and other insurance products, often with little oversight.

Welcome to this explosive, investigative, fact-finding edition of Light ‘Em Up!We are incredibly pleased you decided to join us for one of our most comprehensive episodes to date!Tonight, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth at the intersection of hate speech and the violence that stems from it.While a great many people on the right strongly disagree with the truth, and struggle to accept it, the fact that the radical right is far more violent than the left is unwavering. Far-right attacks continue to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.As a kid do you remember expressing the children's rhyme that says, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can never hurt you?” While this is a nice thought — it isn‘t true. Words matter; words can hurt — words can lead to murder.In the Holy Bible, the Book of Ephesians (4:29) advises: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, which may benefit those who listen.” We need only look to the country of Rwanda in 1994 and the genocide that took place there. Collectively and pejoratively, the Tutsis were referred to as “cockroaches”.  Who acts neighborly or welcomes a cockroach into their home? Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in 100 days. (The Tutsi and Hutu are ethnic groups established primarily in Rwanda and Burundi.)Evidence shows that the use of radio impacted and effected mobilization for violence in the Rwandan genocide.For more than a decade we've been exposed to the hate filled vitriol of Donald Trump. The words he willingly and intentionally chooses are often filled with hate.It is evident from his outward behavior; Donald Trump is not happy.  Barack Obama haunts him in thought, word, and past deed.Trump regularly refers to anyone who isn't in his “in-group” as “the enemy of the people” … “animals” and “scum”, you name it.His targets have been the press as a whole and individual journalists, immigrants, Blacks, LGBTQ+ people, Democrats, and whomever he chooses in the moment.His third-grade vocabulary has no filter. His political party does nothing to hold him to account for his vile, hate-filled rhetoric, even opting to echo and use it often.Rarely does he open his mouth without denigrating, dehumanizing, blaming, or accusing another person of doing something with no evidence.In this explosive episode we will highlight:—    As a case study we'll examine how hate speech can and does facilitate violence. From the genocide that took place in 1994 in Rwanda we offer a special feature in hearing from Henriette Mutegwaraba, survivor of the genocide and founder of the Million Lives Genocide relief fund.—    Multiple examples of the vile, hateful, and demagogic language that Donald Trump spews with regularity and comparing and contrasting his words with that of the Rwandan genocide.And much, much more!“The enemy of the people” are words Adolph Hitler used to describe the Jews before his “final solution” was put into effect which killed some 6 million people.This is the language of insecure, fascist, racist, dictatorial demagogues, and it is extremely dangerous.In his book entitled Behemoth, first published in 1942, Franz Neumann wrote that violence served to establish totalitarian control over German society.Violence throughout the Third Reich was used as a rational instrument of political power.Donald Trump's administration does the same.Democracy is dying right in front of us.Don't move a muscle!Tune out the world and tune-in to Light ‘Em Up — Right here and right now!Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and We want to hear from you!

In Part Two of our series on anger, we get honest about what happens when anger stops being a tool for truth and starts becoming a trap. From the self-righteous outrage that fuels online culture to the quiet, corrosive resentment that poisons connection, we explore how ego, projection, and unhealed pain distort our sense of justice.We also ask: why are narcissists and politicians so good at weaponizing anger—and what can we learn from that about our own patterns?Join us for stories, laughter, and a few uncomfortable truths about the difference between clarity and control, anger and arrogance.
