A senior CPC official says China and the DPRK have reached new consensus on bilateral ties (01:06). Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is calling for better understanding and mutual trust through dialogue in remarks marking the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations (06:02). The number of people killed in Monday's powerful earthquake in the southern Philippines has risen to 45 (12:56).
Jeremy Packee and Emily Anderson break down April's biggest paid media updates, including Google's aggressive AI Max expansion across Search and Shopping campaigns, Microsoft launching AI Max for Search, and OpenAI officially entering the ad platform space with self-serve ChatGPT ads and CPC bidding. They also discuss Google's new AI-powered qualified call lead tracking, Meta opening AI connectors for advertisers, and the growing shift toward conversational and visual search experiences. The episode explores how AI-generated ad copy, automation-heavy campaign types, and intent-based targeting are changing the way advertisers think about performance media strategy. While these tools continue evolving rapidly, the hosts emphasize the importance of testing carefully and maintaining strong human oversight. Episode Highlights Biggest Shift Google officially replacing Dynamic Search Ads with AI Max marks another major step toward keywordless and AI-driven campaign management across Search and Shopping. Biggest Platform Signal OpenAI launching self-serve ChatGPT ads with CPC bidding signals that conversational AI platforms are rapidly becoming legitimate advertising channels. New Feature to Test Google's AI-powered qualified call lead tracking could provide advertisers with more meaningful phone call conversion data without relying entirely on third-party tools. Control Upgrade Google's new AI Brief controls for AI Max campaigns give advertisers more influence over messaging, audience direction, and search matching through natural language prompts. Creative Reality Check AI-generated ad copy and creative tools continue improving quickly, but Jeremy and Emily caution that brands still risk losing differentiation if everyone relies too heavily on the same automation systems. Other Platform Updates • Microsoft launched AI Max for Search campaigns • Google introduced real-time policy reviews for Responsive Search Ads • Reddit expanded Reminder Ads globally for all advertisers • TikTok added more Smart+ campaign controls and expanded Symphony AI creative tools • Demand Gen added view-through conversion optimization and Commerce Media Suite support • OpenAI released GPT-5.5 and ChatGPT Images 2.0 • Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Design • Meta expanded its AI business assistant and introduced Ads AI connectors in open beta • Google updated Ads data controls and added new experiment auto-apply settings • Microsoft added landing page reporting for Performance Max campaigns • eMarketer projects Meta could surpass Google in digital ad revenue by the end of 2026 Final Take AI is no longer just assisting campaign management, it's actively reshaping how advertising platforms operate. But as automation expands across search, creative, targeting, and reporting, the competitive advantage still comes from strategy, testing, and knowing when human judgment matters most.

The top leaders of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea agreed on Tuesday that the two countries should carry forward their great traditional friendship from generation to generation.Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese president, and Kim Jong-un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, made the remarks as Xi paid homage to the China-DPRK Friendship Tower with his wife, Peng Liyuan, accompanied by Kim and his wife, Ri Sol-ju.Xi and Kim also agreed that the years when China and the DPRK fought side by side in the 1950s are an eternal historical memory shared by both countries.The two leaders pledged to jointly maintain memorial facilities dedicated to the Chinese People's Volunteers martyrs, carry out distinctive programs on revolutionary traditions and youth education, and carry forward the great spirit of the War to Resist United States Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).On Tuesday morning, Xi, accompanied by Kim, also visited the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK in Pyongyang.In the wooded area between teaching buildings, Xi and Kim jointly planted a fir tree. The fir tree remains evergreen throughout the year, symbolizing the enduring and ever-renewing friendship between China and the DPRK.Before departing for Beijing, Xi and Peng attended a luncheon hosted by Kim and Ri.Xi said that he reached an important consensus with Kim on developing relations between China and the DPRK in the new era.The two sides also had in-depth discussions on safeguarding peace and stability in the region and the world, Xi said.Xi thanked Kim for the warm hospitality and thoughtful arrangements for the visit, noting that through the visit, the warmth and friendship extended by the WPK and the DPRK government and people toward the CPC and the Chinese government and people are felt even more deeply.The mutual understanding between China and the DPRK has become deeper and more comprehensive, and the future development direction has become clearer and more definite, Xi said.He also said that he is ready to work with Kim to jointly lead China-DPRK relations toward greater development and inject new and strong impetus into the socialist cause of the two countries.Kim said that Xi's visit was a complete success, sending a positive message to the world that the DPRK and China are strengthening their friendly cooperation further, attracting widespread attention from various sides.Xi's visit was of great significance to bilateral relations and the future development of the region, Kim said, noting that the DPRK stands ready to earnestly implement the important consensus reached during the visit, promote new tangible outcomes in bilateral cooperation, and advance DPRK-China relations to a new and higher level.On Tuesday afternoon, Xi returned to Beijing after concluding his two-day state visit to the DPRK.

Relations between China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea currently stand at a new historical starting point, facing new development opportunities and shouldering new missions of the times, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese president, said on Monday.Xi made the remarks in a signed article published in Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the DPRK, ahead of his state visit to the country on Monday and Tuesday, his first in seven years.Xi said that he looks forward to meeting with Kim Jong-un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, to discuss the traditional friendship between the two countries and exchange views on the overall development of bilateral relations.Xi said that China and the DPRK are friendly socialist neighbors who stand by each other and share a common future.No matter how times change or how the international landscape evolves, the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK remains unbreakable and enduring, constantly demonstrating vigorous vitality, Xi said.Noting that top-level strategic guidance is the greatest strength of China-DPRK relations, Xi said that in recent years, he and Kim have held six meetings, maintaining close strategic communication and jointly drawing up a blueprint for the development of China-DPRK relations.Xi also said that a shared socialist ideal is a defining feature of China-DPRK relations, and that the traditional friendship between the two countries, rooted in a shared future, forms the solid foundation of bilateral ties."High-level strategic coordination gives China-DPRK relations their contemporary significance," Xi said. "Promoting long-term peace and stability in the region, as well as world peace and stability, is a common pursuit of the two parties, the two countries and their peoples."The two sides firmly support each other in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, and work together to uphold regional peace and tranquility, international fairness and justice, and the postwar international order, Xi said.Noting that maintaining, consolidating and developing China-DPRK relations has always been an unwavering policy of the CPC and the Chinese government, Xi said that China stands ready to work with the DPRK to steer bilateral relations from a strategic perspective, keep China-DPRK relations abreast of the times and achieve greater development of the relationship.The two sides should deepen strategic communication and firmly steer China-DPRK relations in the right direction, Xi said, calling for upholding the fine tradition of high-level exchanges between the two parties and the two countries, and maintaining close contacts like relatives.The two sides should take the 65th anniversary of the China-DPRK Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance as an opportunity, strengthen exchanges at all levels and across party, government and military institutions, implement the important consensus reached by the two sides, and add fresh impetus to the development of bilateral relations.Xi said the two countries should strengthen communication and mutual learning to jointly promote the steady development of the two countries' socialist cause.China and the DPRK should support each other in pursuing socialist paths suited to their own national conditions, firmly safeguard the political security of both nations, continue to expand exchanges and cooperation between the two parties, and deepen exchanges of experience and mutual learning on party and state governance, Xi said.The two countries should expand practical cooperation and continuously enhance the well-being and friendship of the two peoples, Xi said, adding that the two sides should enhance the alignment of development strategies, tap the potential for cooperation in various fields, share opportunities and promote development together, in order to better benefit the two peoples.Xi also called for close multilateral coordination and firmly safeguarding international fairness and justice.The two sides should strengthen strategic communication and coordination, and jointly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, Xi said, adding that the two sides should oppose hegemonism and power politics, and reject any scheme or action aimed at reviving militarism and undermining regional security and stability.The two countries should jointly promote an equal and orderly multipolarization of the world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, implement the four major global initiatives put forward by China, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity, he added.sovereignty /ˈsɒvrənti/主权tranquility /træŋˈkwɪləti/安宁unwavering /ʌnˈweɪvərɪŋ/坚定不移的alignment /əˈlaɪnmənt/对接hegemonism /hɪˈdʒemənɪzəm/霸权主义multipolarization /ˌmʌltiˌpəʊləraɪˈzeɪʃən/多极化inclusive /ɪnˈkluːsɪv/包容的initiative /ɪˈnɪʃətɪv/倡议community with a shared future for humanity /kəˈmjuːnəti wɪð ə ʃeəd ˈfjuːtʃə fə hjuːˈmænəti/人类命运共同体
General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and President Xi Jinping's state visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Monday and Tuesday presents an opportunity to strengthen top-level planning and strategic guidance for China-DPRK relations in the new era.The visit has not only preserved the legacy of China-DPRK relations as good neighbors, good friends and good comrades but also helped lay out the practical priorities for the future development of relations.During his meeting with Kim Jong-un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, in Pyongyang on Monday, Xi put forward four proposals for advancing bilateral relations: The two sides should be guided by the high-level exchanges and consolidate the foundation of political mutual trust; stay committed to the goal of delivering benefits to the people and elevate the level of practical cooperation; uphold the inheritance of friendship as a driving force and strengthen the bonds between their peoples; and uphold fairness and justice as a guiding principle to enrich the substance of strategic coordination.This provides strategic guidelines for the healthy and stable development of China-DPRK relations.High-level exchanges have long played an important role in the development of China-DPRK relations. As the 65th anniversary of the China-DPRK Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance is commemorated this year, increased interaction at all levels between the two sides will help consolidate political trust and generate sustained momentum for bilateral cooperation.Both countries are pursuing their respective development goals and have broad opportunities to deepen cooperation in economic and social fields. China stands ready to work with the DPRK to strengthen the alignment of development strategies, and expand practical cooperation in such areas as economy and trade, agriculture, construction, science and technology, and health care, to bring greater benefits to the two peoples.Xi called on both sides to leverage the opportunity of the full reopening of border crossings and the resumption of civil aviation flights and international passenger trains to increase people-to-people exchanges and foster mutual interaction.Equally significant is the emphasis placed on carrying forward the traditional friendship between the two peoples. The traditional friendship between China and the DPRK, forged in blood, is a valuable shared asset of the two peoples. Today, educational cooperation, youth exchanges, cultural programs and academic engagement are helping ensure the friendship continues to flourish.As regional and global dynamics become increasingly complex and volatile, it is imperative that the two sides strengthen their strategic coordination on international and regional affairs to safeguard their common interests and promote stability. In doing so, the two countries can better safeguard their respective sovereignty, security and development interests, and jointly promote regional peace and development.Xi said in a signed article published by Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the DPRK, ahead of his visit, that the two sides should uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law. In the process, they should oppose hegemonism and power politics, and reject any scheme or action aimed at reviving militarism and undermining regional security and stability.No matter how the international situation changes, the CPC and the Chinese government's firm stance on highly valuing the China-DPRK traditional friendship will not change, the firm support for Kim in leading the DPRK's socialist cause will not change, and the firm commitment to safeguarding the shared interests of the two countries and preserving a favorable strategic environment will not change, Xi said in the meeting.The two sides should make concerted efforts to translate the important consensus reached by the two leaders during the visit into concrete actions and tangible outcomes to keep bilateral relations advancing with the times and achieve greater progress.preserve the legacy /prɪˈzɜːv ðə ˈleɡəsi/传承遗产practical priorities /ˈpræktɪkl praɪˈɒrətiz/务实重点alignment of development strategies /əˈlaɪnmənt əv dɪˈveləpmənt ˈstrætədʒiz/发展战略对接economy and trade /ɪˈkɒnəmi ənd treɪd/经贸border crossings /ˈbɔːdə(r) ˈkrɒsɪŋz/边境口岸people-to-people exchanges /ˈpiːpl tə ˈpiːpl ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒɪz/人文交流
Fear has a way of convincing us that we’re alone — that our future is uncertain, our past is catching up to us, and the darkness ahead is too much to face. But Psalm 23 offers a different vision: a Shepherd who goes before us, walks beside us, and pursues us with goodness and mercy. Rather than denying the realities that frighten us, it points us to the presence of Christ in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Shawn Slate explores why the Good Shepherd is the answer to our deepest fears. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast Collaborator, il revient sur dix ans d'une carrière construite entre grands cabinets internationaux, concours de la conférence du barreau et cabinet boutique. Retour sur une trajectoire qui dit beaucoup sur ce que signifie exercer aujourd'hui en droit des affaires et en droit pénal.Une vocation héritée, confirmée par l'expériencePaul Nafilyan n'est pas devenu avocat par hasard. Ses grands-parents, eux-mêmes avocats, ont exercé une influence déterminante. Même retraités, ils restaient des figures de référence, et c'est leur témoignage qui a orienté sa vocation.La fac de droit a fait le reste. Les stages ont confirmé la trajectoire de Paul dans ce milieu.Deux ans chez Cleary : le grand bain à 25 ansSon premier poste, il le décroche dans l'un des cabinets d'affaires les plus exigeants de la place parisienne : Cleary Gottlieb. Deux ans. Des dossiers de premier rang. Une formation intense.Le moment marquant ? La vente d'Alstom à General Electric, avec l'État français comme partie prenante. Dossier stratégique, enjeux nationaux, pression maximale. À 25 ans, c'est une mise en situation impressionnante que peu de jeunes avocats connaissent.La vie de cabinet international a beaucoup d'avantages : des gros dossiers, de belles responsables et une sociabilité professionnelle dense.Bredin Prat comme étape de transitionMais Paul Nafylian avait en tête, rapidement, une autre image de la profession. Celle des cabinets familiaux. Des structures à taille humaine, où la relation client est directe et où l'on construit quelque chose qui vous appartient.Le passage au cabinet boutique ne s'est pas fait d'un coup. Les grands cabinets offrent des avantages difficiles à abandonner : rémunération, dossiers d'envergure, marque sur le CV. Il l'avoue : il n'a pas sauté le pas immédiatement.C'est Bredin Prat qui joue le rôle d'intermédiaire, avant qu'il rejoigne CPC & Associés. Une structure plus resserrée, où se dessine enfin ce qu'il cherchait : la possibilité de développer sa propre clientèle et d'exercer avec une vraie autonomie.2022 : la conférence du barreau, pour trois raisons précisesEn 2022, Paul Nafylian passe le concours de la conférence du barreau de Paris. Pas par hasard, ni par tradition. Il y voit trois bénéfices concrets.L'accès aux dossiers criminels. La conférence donne accès à des affaires pénales que l'on n'approche pas autrement en début de carrière. C'est une école du fond, un apprentissage accéléré sur des matières humainement et juridiquement denses.L'art oratoire. Le concours est aussi une épreuve de plaidoirie. Structurer un argumentaire, tenir une salle : ce sont des compétences que l'on ne développe pas tous les jours.Le réseau et la fraternité du barreau. La conférence recrée ce que les grands cabinets internationaux ont parfois tendance à effacer : un esprit de promotion, une communauté professionnelle transversale. Être ambassadeur auprès des barreaux étrangers, faire du barreau un village à nouveau, c'est une dimension qui comptait pour lui.Un cabinet, deux pratiques : 50 % pénal, 50 % droit des affairesAujourd'hui, Paul Nafylian exerce dans une structure comptant peu d'associés. Une organisation volontairement resserrée, c'est ce qu'il recherchait. Il souligne aussi l'importance de ne pas être en compétition avec les autres avocats du cabinet, ce qui est particulièrement important. Paul nous a aussi parler de la relation, client. Aujourd'hui, Les clients veulent être entendus. Un dossier bien traité, rendu dans les délais, avec un interlocuteur disponible, c'est l'essentiel de la différence perçue et ce qui facilite ensuite le bouche à oreille.Sa pratique se répartit aujourd'hui entre deux pôles.

The Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai received around 100,000 foreign visitors last year, a record high that reflects the growth in international interest in the CPC's history and China's development journey.中共一大纪念馆（上海）去年接待外籍访客约10万人次，创下历史新高，这一数据折射出国际社会对中国共产党历史以及中国发展历程的关注度持续攀升。Officials at the memorial hall said in an interview on Monday that foreign visitors come to find out "why China can".该纪念馆相关负责人在周一接受采访时表示，外籍访客前来参观，核心是想要探寻“中国为什么能”的答案。"These overseas visitors included delegations from international organizations and an increasing number of independent travelers, thanks to China's relaxed visa policies in recent years," said Yang Yu, director of the memorial hall's publicity and education department.纪念馆宣传教育部主任杨宇表示，得益于我国近年放宽签证政策，来访外籍人群涵盖各类国际组织代表团，自助游客数量也持续增长。"They are not merely coming for photo opportunities," she said. "Many are drawn to the birthplace of the CPC, seeking to understand why the Party has endured for over a century and continues to thrive. They are interested in discovering the secrets behind its success."她表示，这些外籍访客并非只为打卡拍照。许多人慕名来到中国共产党的诞生地，希望了解中国共产党百年赓续、蓬勃发展的原因，探寻其成功的密码。Yang also noted the growing diversity in visitors' nationalities, with many foreign tourists listing the site as a key stop in Shanghai — a city aiming to become China's top destination for inbound tourism.杨宇介绍，访客的国籍构成也愈发多元。上海正全力打造中国入境旅游首选目的地，中共一大会址已成为众多外籍游客到访上海的必游地标。Since the memorial hall launched its exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the CPC's founding in June 2021, it has welcomed more than 12 million visitors in total, with the annual number rising steadily to reach 3.23 million last year.自2021年6月中共一大会址推出建党百年主题展览以来，纪念馆累计接待游客超1200万人次，年接待量稳步攀升，去年全年接待量达323万人次。The exhibition tells the story of the CPC's founding and highlights the Party's mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and achieve the rejuvenation of the nation.该主题展览完整呈现了中国共产党的诞生历程，生动诠释了中国共产党为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的初心使命。The memorial hall has developed a service system featuring full English coverage, tours in seven foreign languages, and guided tours in English and Japanese.When engaging with foreign visitors, the memorial hall's docents focus less on past hardships and more on China's achievements in the 21st century.纪念馆已搭建完善的涉外服务体系，实现英文服务全覆盖，提供七种外语讲解服务及英、日语专属导览服务。讲解员在面向外籍访客开展讲解时，会适度弱化过往艰苦历程的讲述，重点聚焦中国21世纪以来的发展成就。"This is something we learned from interacting with overseas visitors," Yang said. "They are most interested in China's rapid development over the past two decades and how the Chinese people are living better lives. The memorial hall serves as a window for them to gain an understanding of a real and endearing China, and many have expressed a sense of resonance after their visit."杨宇表示，这是场馆在与外籍访客交流过程中总结的经验。海外访客最关注中国二十年来的飞速发展以及民众生活的改善。纪念馆已然成为一扇窗口，让外籍人士看见真实、鲜活、可亲的中国，不少访客参观后都产生了强烈共鸣。The number of young foreign visitors has been growing, with some sharing their experiences on and insights into international social media platforms.Yang recalled a video uploaded by a Canadian that attracted comments from people around the world, including a Chinese university student who remarked that seeing the memorial hall through a foreign vlogger's lens was a unique experience.外籍青年访客数量持续增长，不少年轻人将自己的参观经历与感悟发布在海外社交媒体平台上。杨宇分享了一个案例：一名加拿大网友发布的参观视频，收获了全球各地网友的留言。其中一名中国大学生留言表示，透过外国博主的视角看中共一大会址，是一种全新的体验。To engage younger audiences, the memorial hall has continuously innovated its approach, offering immersive activities and virtual-reality experiences to help bring history closer to young people.为贴合年轻群体的需求，纪念馆持续创新宣教形式，推出沉浸式体验活动和虚拟现实体验项目，让历史可感可触、走近青年。"We hope that all visitors, whether from home or abroad, leave feeling inspired," Yang said. "The CPC's journey has not been without challenges, but the Party has always maintained a forward-looking spirit."杨宇说：“我们希望每一位海内外参观者都能有所感悟、有所启迪。中国共产党的百年征程并非一帆风顺，但始终坚守初心、奋勇向前、开拓进取。”Xie Yiling, a primary school student in Shanghai, has been a volunteer guide at the memorial hall for over three years, leading more than 30 tours, including for visitors from the United States and Brazil. She expressed pride in sharing the CPC's stories with foreign visitors and hoped to pass on the "red gene" to inspire more people.上海小学生谢怡灵已在纪念馆担任志愿讲解员三年多，累计完成30余场讲解服务，服务过美国、巴西等多国访客。她为能向外国友人讲述红色故事感到自豪，希望传承红色基因、传递红色力量，感召更多人。A group of high school students from Denver in the US state of Colorado visited the memorial hall on Monday during their first trip to China.周一，一批来自美国科罗拉多州丹佛市的高中生到访中共一大会址，这是他们首次来到中国。Anissa Elmrini, 17, was among them. "Many people around me — and I myself — are very interested in Shanghai and China," she said. "The streets here are beautiful, and the people are really nice and helpful. I see this trip with my teenage friends as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."17岁的Anissa Elmrini是到访学生之一。她表示：“我身边很多同学和我一样，对上海、对中国充满好奇。这里的街道风景优美，人们友善又热心。能和同龄伙伴一起来中国参观，是一次千载难逢的宝贵经历。”
Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, has called for inheriting revolutionary traditions in a reply letter to student docents at the memorials of the birthplaces of the CPC in East China's Shanghai and Zhejiang province.Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, encouraged them to build knowledge and enhance capabilities, and extended International Children's Day greetings to children nationwide.The Young Pioneers recently penned a letter to Xi, sharing what they had learned and gained while volunteering as guides at the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the CPC in Shanghai, and the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Museum in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.In the letter dated Saturday, Xi said he was pleased to learn that the students had fostered a deep affection for the Party, the country, and socialism through recounting the Party's history, revolutionary stories, and heroic deeds."This year marks the 105th anniversary of the CPC. The Party's cause calls for unremitting efforts across generations," Xi emphasized, encouraging the students to stay committed to the Party, build their characters, and carry the baton of history forward on the new journey.Back in 2021, a nationwide initiative was launched to encourage Young Pioneers to study the Party's history and share these stories at revolutionary memorial venues.The First National Congress of the CPC convened in Shanghai in July 1921. Then the founders moved to a boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing to conclude the historic meeting, where they adopted the Party's first program and resolutions. The iconic boat is now referred to as the Red Boat.

On Tuesday, the third day of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's state visit to China, he spent about five minutes inside a newly released electric vehicle at the showroom of Chinese tech company Xiaomi's auto factory in Beijing.5月26日，塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇在对华国事访问的第三天，来到北京小米汽车工厂展厅，在一辆新款电动汽车内停留了约五分钟。Sitting in the vehicle, in which commands can be voice activated, Vucic asked the in-car voice assistant: "Do you have any Serbian songs?"坐进这辆支持语音指令的汽车，武契奇向车载语音助手问道：“有塞尔维亚歌曲吗？”Serbia's national anthem, Boze pravde, then began to play.随后，塞尔维亚国歌《正义的上帝》开始播放。"I have learned a great deal here, above all about the achievements China has made. This place is amazing — I have never seen anything like it," Vucic wrote on social media. "Everything is automated. Two thousand robots operate everything, and in two shifts they produce 1,500 cars. We invited them, if they start considering investment in Europe, to choose Serbia, and we also invited them to showcase their products at EXPO 2027."武契奇在社交媒体上写道：“我在这里收获良多，尤其是中国取得的成就。这个地方令人惊叹——我从未见过如此景象。”“一切都实现了自动化。两千台机器人负责全部操作，两班倒每天可生产1500辆汽车。我们已向中方发出邀请：如果他们考虑在欧洲投资，请首选塞尔维亚；同时，我们也邀请他们参加2027年世博会，展示其产品。”The factory was Vucic's third stop on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, he delivered a speech at Tsinghua University and visited the Museum of the Communist Party of China.这座工厂是武契奇周二行程的第三站。当天早些时候，他在清华大学发表了演讲，并参观了中国共产党历史展览馆。After tracing China's journey from poverty to prosperity at the museum, Vucic wrote in the guest book that "the visit to the museum was a unique chance to deepen my knowledge of the development of China under the leadership of the CPC".在展览馆追溯了中国从贫穷走向繁荣的历程后，武契奇在留言簿上写道：“参观展览馆是一次难得的机会，让我加深了对中国共产党领导下中国发展历程的了解。”"I used to watch Back to the Future and think that flying cars, smart machines and technology that understands humans were only the stuff of movie imagination. Today, as I toured this incredible time capsule of Chinese achievements, I felt as if I had ... experienced that film myself," he wrote in a social media post.他在社交媒体上写道：“我以前看《回到未来》时，以为飞行汽车、智能机器和理解人类的技术只是电影的想象。今天，当我参观这个令人难以置信的中国成就时间胶囊时，我感觉自己仿佛亲身经历了那部电影。”He added that everything he saw seemed so advanced that, at one point, he thought his phone belonged in a technology museum.他还说，眼前的一切太过先进，有那么一刻，他甚至觉得自己的手机该被送进科技博物馆。Speaking to about 130 students and faculty members at Tsinghua University, the Serbian president said that China's progress should not be taken for granted.在对清华大学约130名师生发表演讲时，塞尔维亚总统表示，中国的进步并非理所当然。While people living in China may regard daily changes as ordinary, he said that the nation's transformation remains striking to an outside observer, even over a short period of time.他说，虽然生活在中国的人们可能觉得日常变化平平无奇，但在外界看来，中国在如此短的时间内的转变令人惊叹。He added that he has strong confidence in China's continued prosperity and bright future.他还表示对中国持续繁荣和光明未来充满信心。During the interaction with students, Vucic said that China-Serbia friendship is rooted in mutual support at difficult moments and in concrete results, rather than diplomatic rhetoric.在与学生的互动中，武契奇表示，中塞友谊植根于困难时刻的相互支持和实实在在的成果，而非简单的外交辞令。He cited Chinese participation in Serbia's infrastructure projects and the Smederevo Steel Mill, where a Chinese company's takeover helped preserve about 5,000 jobs, as examples of cooperation that have brought real benefits to local people.他举例说，中国参与了塞尔维亚的基础设施项目和斯梅代雷沃钢厂，一家中国企业接管该钢厂帮助保留了约5000个工作岗位，这些合作为当地人民带来了实实在在的利益。Vucic also linked China's development to its openness, saying that the country offers cooperation opportunities to partners from different regions. China's progress is not accidental, but is the result of knowledge, hard work, education and long-term effort, he added.武契奇还将中国的发展与其开放联系在一起，他表示中国为来自不同地区的合作伙伴提供了合作机会。他补充说，中国的进步不是偶然的，而是知识、勤奋、教育和长期努力的结果。Vucic also urged the students to remain open to the world, gain broader experience and believe in their values and principles. He said young people in China possess qualities that many countries have lost, including diligence, conviction, vision and a strong desire to succeed.武契奇还鼓励学生保持对世界的开放态度，不断丰富自身阅历，并坚定自己的价值观与原则。他指出，中国年轻人拥有许多国家已然丧失的优良品质，包括勤奋、信念、远见卓识以及强烈的成功意愿。Hard work, education and perseverance will never become outdated, he said, adding that such qualities help make a country strong and enable it to keep moving forward.他说，勤奋、教育和毅力永远不会过时，这些品质有助于国家强大并使其不断前进。EXPO /ˈekspəʊ/世博会diplomatic rhetoric /ˌdɪpləˈmætɪk ˈretərɪk/外交辞令conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/信念perseverance /ˌpɜːsɪˈvɪərəns/毅力
Summits between US and Chinese leaders are important events. They provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues, manage friction, and to identify ways to solve problems and promote cooperation where possible. A great deal of preparation usually goes into a US-China summit, involving hundreds of phone calls, virtual, and in-person meetings between US and Chinese officials. The May 14-15 summit in Beijing was atypical, perhaps not surprisingly since Donald Trump is a very atypical president. Today we are going to talk about the summit – the process and well as the outcomes and the implications for the US-China relationship and American interests. Joining us today to talk about these issues is Sarah Beran. Sarah Beran was senior director for China and Taiwan affairs in the National Security Council during the Biden administration from 2022 to 2024. She was subsequently deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Beijing. At the NSC, she led strategic preparations for multiple summits between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. After her 23 years in government service, Sarah joined Macro Advisory Partners.

C'est un témoignage exceptionnel, celui de Joseph Figueira, le chercheur belgo-portugais qui a été arrêté par des mercenaires russes de Wagner il y a 2 ans jour pour jour – c'était à Zemio, dans le sud-est de la République centrafricaine – et qui a été finalement libéré le 7 avril dernier pour raisons humanitaires. A-t-il été arrêté par hasard ou a-t-il été une cible soigneusement choisie à des fins de propagande politique ? A-t-il vu sa dernière heure arriver dans les cachots secrets de Wagner et dans les prisons centrafricaines ? En ligne du Portugal, où il se reconstruit en famille, le chercheur répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Nous sommes le 26 mai 2024, à Zemio, dans le sud-est de la Centrafrique, vous êtes en train de terminer une expertise de terrain pour l'ONG américaine FHI 360 dans le cadre d'un appel à projet de l'Usaid. Vous buvez une bière dans une « guest house » avec plusieurs autres humanitaires et là vous voyez arriver trois Russes du groupe Wagner accompagnés d'un gendarme centrafricain. Qu'est-ce qui se passe à ce moment-là ? Joseph Figueira : À ce moment-là, je ne comprends pas trop. Ils arrivent, ils me signalent que je dois les suivre et donc ils me forcent à les suivre. Ils me mettent sur une moto qui nous emmène jusqu'à l'aérodrome où ils avaient une petite base temporaire. Très vite, vous êtes embarqué dans un avion, direction Bria, dans le centre du pays. Pourquoi Bria ? Alors, je ne sais pas, je pense que c'est parce qu'ils ont ce qu'on peut appeler un « black site », un site noir, qui échappe à tout contrôle de l'État. Et je sais que c'est un lieu où plusieurs personnes ont disparu et sont régulièrement torturées. C'est un ancien bâtiment construit par des diamantaires et là, vous subissez des coups, des sévices. Vous êtes menacé de mort ? Oui, oui, je suis menacé de mort plusieurs fois. Je suis frappé. J'ai aussi le poignet menotté à la cheville pendant deux jours. Est-ce qu'il y a un moment où vous avez vraiment cru que vous alliez mourir ? Oui, oui, plusieurs fois, ils m'ont mis en joue et puis ils m'ont dit aussi que j'allais mourir. Donc oui. Et puis, j'entendais des cris d'appel à l'aide, des supplications d'autres personnes qui étaient en train de se faire torturer. Et puis, après mon transfèrement au camp de Roux, à Bangui, j'ai aussi connu plusieurs personnes qui avaient fait l'objet de tortures de la part du groupe Wagner. Dès votre arrestation à Zemio, vos deux téléphones portables sont confisqués. Est-ce que vous pensez que les Russes de Wagner vous ont pris par hasard parce que vous étiez un des rares Européens qui circulait à Zemio ? Où est-ce que vous pensez qu'ils vous ciblaient personnellement ? Oui, je comprends tout de suite que j'étais ciblé, parce que dès que je suis emmené à l'aérodrome, on me montre deux photos de moi qui proviennent d'un groupe WhatsApp où il y a des ministres et des ex-ministres centrafricains qui sont présents dans le groupe. Je comprends tout de suite que ces photos ont été transmises au groupe Wagner et donc, je comprends que c'est un commando qui est venu me chercher. Voulez-vous dire qu'ils vous ciblaient grâce à des complicités au sein du gouvernement centrafricain ? Oui, et donc ils m'accusent tout de suite d'être un membre de la CPC, Coalition des patriotes pour le changement. Ce qui frappe pendant vos deux ans de détention, c'est l'acharnement des Russes de Wagner contre votre personne. Les sévices en prison dès l'étape de Bria, les pressions sur vous et sur le procureur lors de votre procès à Bangui, qui se termine en novembre dernier par une condamnation à dix ans de travaux forcés, malgré la défense acharnée de maître Nicolas Tiangaye. Qu'est-ce que les Russes voulaient prouver à travers votre personne ? Je pense qu'ils veulent surtout diaboliser les ONG, les médias, les partenaires occidentaux de façon générale, parce qu'il y a certaines ONG qui documentent les exactions qui sont commises par le groupe Wagner et donc évidemment ce n'est pas dans leur intérêt d'avoir ces personnes présentes sur le territoire centrafricain. Il faut diaboliser les Américains ? C'est cela. Mais vous n'êtes pas Américain ? Non, je ne suis pas Américain. Non, mais pour les Wagner, c'était suffisant. Parce que vous aviez eu l'occasion de travailler dans des projets financés par l'Usaid, en fait ? Et aussi notamment à cause du soutien que je fournissais au travail d'enquête du bureau du greffe de la CPI. La Cour pénale internationale... Oui. Qui a un bureau à Bangui... Oui. Qui dans le groupe Wagner jouait un rôle actif pour vous mettre en accusation et vous faire condamner ? Alors, je ne sais pas qui exactement, mais je sais que c'étaient des gens assez haut placés au sein du groupe qui sont assez bien connus à Bangui. Qu'est-ce qui vous le laisse penser ? Toute la campagne de diffamation, de diabolisation qui a été mise en place, notamment à travers plusieurs comptes Twitter, des articles placés dans la presse… Ça correspond au mode opératoire du groupe Wagner. Après deux ans de détention, Joseph Figuera, vous avez fini par être libéré le 7 avril pour raison humanitaire, officiellement. Qu'est-ce qui a joué en faveur de cette mesure de clémence ? Je pense que ce sont principalement les efforts menés par le Portugal et la Belgique. Et puis aussi la pression des ONG derrière, mais pas que. Il y a aussi eu des rapports publiés par le groupe de travail de l'ONU sur les mercenaires, sur la détention arbitraire. Et je crois que vous avez pu recevoir la visite de représentants consulaires de la Belgique et du Portugal... Oui, dès le début. Et aujourd'hui, à qui voulez-vous dire merci ? Eh bien, merci à mes deux pays, à toutes les ONG, à mes amis, à la famille et puis aux médias aussi, comme RFI, parce que je pense que, sans vous, je ne serais pas là aujourd'hui. Avez-vous eu des moments de désespoir ? Oui. Vous savez, le camp de Roux à Bangui, ce sont vraiment des conditions inhumaines. Donc, il y a eu des jours très, très compliqués. On a eu plusieurs décès aussi à l'intérieur. On se rend bien compte que, dans ce genre d'endroit, la vie est très fragile. Mais voilà, j'avais tout ce monde derrière moi et c'est ce qui m'a permis de tenir. Et dans ces moments-là, on tient comment ? Grâce à la foi et à l'idée de savoir que la famille nous attend dehors.

Google just dropped a PMax special — and there's a lot to unpack.In this episode of Growing Ecommerce, Mike Ryan and Chris break down three major updates reshaping how ecommerce advertisers run Performance Max and Shopping campaigns in 2025:1. Network exclusions for PMax: You can now opt out of Search Partner Network AND Google Display Network directly inside PMax. Years in the making, and a massive lever for both performance and brand safety. We walk through why it matters, when to use it, and how to check your own data first.2. Shopping Performance View: A new level of product-level reporting coming to PMax and Demand Gen campaigns via the Google Ads API. See performance by brand, category, product type, and item ID — the same parity you get in standard Shopping. Huge for anyone who's tried and failed to understand feed performance inside Max.3. AI Max for Shopping: The biggest one. Google is rolling out an optional AI layer for standard Shopping campaigns with three features:- Text customization: Google rewrites your product titles dynamically per query- Final URL expansion (FUE): Google picks landing pages from your site — including category pages- Optimal format selection: Text ads can now appear inside your Shopping campaignsWe discuss what this means for advertisers who run standard Shopping for control, whether there's real redundancy with Search and PMax, the campaign overlap and CPC escalation risk, and why Mike thinks this is actually bigger than AI Max for Search.Standard Shopping: confirmed not dead. Google is investing in it.Growing Ecommerce is brought to you by smarter ecommerce (smec) — helping online retailers optimize paid search through AI-powered software and human PPC expertise.#PerformanceMax #PMax #GoogleShopping #AIMaxForShopping #GoogleAds #EcommerceMarketing #PPC #SearchPartnerNetwork #GoogleAdsUpdates #PaidSearchAbout Smarter Ecommerce (smec):Smarter Ecommerce (smec) empowers e-commerce brands with AI-driven PPC automation that optimizes for profit and business outcomes while maintaining strategic control.The platform activates first-party data - profit margins, customer lifetime value, and key business metrics - to automate campaign optimization toward goals like profitability and efficient growth, while detailed campaign insights provide full transparency and enable PPC teams to focus on strategic oversight rather than manual execution.As a Google Premier Partner and three-time Microsoft Retail Partner of the Year, smec manages over €500 million in ad spend and drives €5B+ in annual e-commerce revenue for 350+ global retail clients including THG, Snipes, REWE, and Intersport.Make sure to follow smec - Smarter Ecommerce for more performance marketing insights:smec - Smarter Ecommerce: https://www.smarter-ecommerce.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/smarter-ecommerce-gmbhNewsletter: https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/newsletter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarterecommerce/
In a world that talks endlessly about love, how do we actually know what love looks like? When we take a look at Scripture, it challenges the idea that love is simply following our feelings, revealing instead how God’s law shapes and defines what it means to truly love others. Far from being restrictive, God’s commands are shown to be a guide toward human flourishing, faithfulness, and lives transformed by grace. Listen to this sermon as Twaambo Moyo explores how the gospel changes our relationship to the law and teaches us to love the way God intended. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Host Devin Becker sits down with Tom Gayner, CEO of Levellr, to dig into what it actually looks like to listen to players at scale, and how to turn the constant stream of feedback from places like Discord and Reddit into usable sentiment signals. Tom breaks down how Levellr gathers and organizes that data, what teams gain when they treat social channels as a living feedback layer, and how different communities or players tend to “slant” the conversation in different ways. They also get practical about workflows (dashboards and reports vs. hands-on collaboration), how to group feedback into meaningful player personas, when proactive outreach makes sense, where social sentiment shines (and where research methods like focus groups still matter), and what the next 3–5 years of player feedback might look like as tools, and player expectations, keep evolving.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In this episode of Growing Ecommerce, Mike Ryan and Chris Scharmueller dive into the much-anticipated updates to the OpenAI ads platform and break down Google's staggering Q1 earnings report.While OpenAI has finally transitioned their ad platform from a primitive Excel spreadsheet to a proper User Interface, their highly publicized shift to a CPC model is raising major red flags. We break down the math behind their highly constrained $3 to $5 max CPC range, revealing how it mathematically equates to the exact same astronomical $60 effective CPM they originally launched with. We discuss why advertisers should demand more transparency and control before shifting their performance budgets to ChatGPT.We also unpack Google's unstoppable Q1 momentum. With a massive $110 billion in revenue and an 80% spike in earnings per share, Google is silencing the "death of Search" narrative. We explore their impressive 19% core Search growth, the staggering 63% surge in Google Cloud that is heavily outpacing AWS and Azure, and why Google's massive $180 billion CapEx guidance for 2026 solidifies their dominance in the AI arms race.Key Takeaways:• The OpenAI Ad Trap: Don't be fooled by OpenAI's new CPC bidding model. By forcing advertisers into a strict $3 to $5 CPC range, the platform is essentially maintaining its premium $60 effective CPM under a disguise. Advertisers should hold off on shifting performance budgets until real incrementality and transparency are proven.• Search is Still Thriving: Despite the ongoing narrative that AI will kill traditional search engines, Google's core Search product grew by 19% year-over-year. The search giant's core advertising flywheel remains the most reliable engine for ecommerce growth.• Google Cloud is Winning the AI War: Google Cloud (GCS) achieved a staggering 63% year-over-year growth, heavily outpacing Amazon AWS (28%) and Microsoft Azure (39%). Powered by deep Gemini integration and proprietary TPUs, Google's vertical integration puts them in a unique position to dominate the next decade.Resources & Links:• Access all our webinars, reports, and playbooks in our Knowledge Hub: https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/knowledge-hub/ • How is your industry stacking up in the market?

CO2 LMP Racks Hot Gas & What The Heck Is A DTR Valve ?? Episode 520 VideoLMP Rack Deep Dive: Hot Gas Defrost, Superheat Mitigation & Refrigeration “Witchcraft”Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass kick off the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast with weekend plans and a chaotic start featuring mystery music and van-recorded audio, then jump into Kevin's hectic week swapping out 40-year-old racks and venting about painfully unserviceable EPR and valve layouts while converting controls from CPC to Danfoss. Brett outlines a common VFD control issue where a 0–100% signal causes deadband, aggressive ramping, and cycling, teeing up a future demo with virtual displays. The main discussion breaks down an LMP rack P&ID with heat reclaim, low-temp hot gas defrost, suction setpoints, superheat mitigation via inversely controlled valves and plate heat exchangers, discharge pressure regulation and staged valve reopening after defrost, load shedding, oil separation strategy, and auxiliary heat exchanger quirks, then detours into cool gas defrost debate and a cutaway look at a Venturi-style “injector” device used to cool discharge gas.

In this episode, we break down the difference between old-school Facebook advertising strategies and the way Meta ads actually work in 2026. A lot of advertisers are still trying to control every part of their ad account with heavy targeting, endless tweaks, and complicated setups, but the platform has changed dramatically. We discuss why traditional Facebook Ads tactics are becoming less effective, how Meta's algorithm and AI-driven optimisation now play a much bigger role, and what modern advertisers need to focus on instead.The conversation also covers common mistakes businesses make when scaling Meta ads, why many advertisers panic when performance fluctuates, and how to properly interpret Facebook Ads metrics like CTR, CPC, ROAS, CPA, and conversion data. We explore the shift away from manual media buying and towards simpler, more stable advertising strategies that allow Meta to optimise more effectively.If you run e-commerce ads, lead generation campaigns or paid social advertising for clients, this episode will help you better understand how Facebook advertising is evolving and what you need to change to stay profitable with Meta ads moving forward.BUT THERE'S MORE...Follow me on Instagram to keep up to date with all the latest hacks: @nickboddington You can now watch the episode on Youtube!
Politics can feel exhausting, divisive, or impossible to escape — but how should Christians actually engage with the world of government and power? When exploring the tension between earthly authority and ultimate allegiance to Christ, we see a vision for faithful citizenship that neither idolizes politics nor withdraws from it. In a culture tempted to place its hope in leaders and institutions, we’re reminded where true hope is meant to rest. Listen to this sermon as Andrew Smith unpacks what it means to honor authority while keeping Christ at the center of our loyalty. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

On this day, 16 May 1967, the All Circles Struggle Committee (ACSC) was established in Hong Kong in the wake of violent police repression of a strike of plastic flower factory workers. On May 6, British colonial police violently beat picketing workers and bystanders, causing mass outrage. Protests against and clashes with police began breaking out across the city. After the ACSC was set up to coordinate a movement against colonialism, 126 struggle committees had been formed within the next two days to share experiences and plan action. A week later, wildcat strikes began to break out, with widespread rioting. In June, a general strike was called, which eventually faltered although strikes in some industries continued until late July. As the strike collapsed, many protesters began resorting to bomb attacks – both real and fake – targeting British authorities to cause chaos and disrupt business as usual. The "Hong Kong riots," as they became known, lasted until December before they were called off after secret talks between British authorities and the Communist Party of China. The CPC were nominally opposed to British colonialism, but in reality the Chinese economy benefited from having access to international markets through British Hong Kong and so they eventually decided not to push for British withdrawal. While the protests ended, in their wake British authorities implemented numerous reforms which significantly improved the lives of working class Hong Kongers. These included UK-style social benefits for the unemployed, the disabled and the elderly, construction of new hospitals and homes, abolition of some sexist laws, and rampant police corruption was largely eradicated.

It's springtime, the sun is out, and the "BFFs" are back for a conversation that is as refreshing as the season. In this episode, Heather Pettey, CPC, and Dr. Carol Lynn dive into the "beauty treatments" of midlife—from the glamorous style of Mad Men to the practical (and often unspoken) medical solutions for bladder health. Whether you're curious about the "tampon trick" for exercise-induced leaking, wondering about the recovery time for a bladder sling, or just looking for a bargain on a new layered necklace set, this episode covers it all. Heather and Carol Lynn remind us that thriving in midlife means taking care of ourselves from the inside out—and maybe doing it in a very cute wide-leg jogger set. In This Episode, We Discuss: Pop Culture Pursuits: Why Dr. Carol Lynn is officially obsessed with Mad Men and the timeless "Betty Draper" aesthetic. Springtime Beauty Checklists: The duo's personal lists for the season, including laser hair removal, Botox timing, and the "au naturel" nail trend. The "Leaky Bladder" Conversation: Dr. Carol Lynn breaks down the difference between urge incontinence and stress incontinence. Medical Solutions for Midlife: * ThermiVa: An in-office, non-surgical treatment for vaginal dryness and bladder control. The Urethral Sling: What the "bladder tack" surgery actually is and what to expect during recovery. The Tampon Trick: A simple hack for women who experience leaking specifically during exercise. Midlife Fashion & Bargains: Heather shares her favorite "retro" wide-leg jogger set and Carol Lynn reveals a $15 layered necklace find. Featured Resources & Links: Skincare Favorites: Obagi Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 50. Home Tech: Michael Todd Dermaplaning Tool. Heather's Look: Retro wide-leg jogger set.

Memorable Quotes: "Midlife isn't about slowing down; it's about living fully." — Heather Pettey "If it's not bothering you, it certainly doesn't bother me—but when you can't stand or cough without leaking, it's time to do something." — Dr. Carol Lynn Connect With Us: Subscribe: Tap the plus sign (+) in the top right corner of your screen on Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode.

In a world shaped by outrage and division, it’s easy to believe that revenge is the only path to justice. But the gospel offers a radically different way — one that confronts wrongdoing honestly while refusing to let bitterness have the final word. Through life’s hardest challenges, we’re invited to see how forgiveness can break cycles of hurt and open the door to something unexpected and healing. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores what it means to love not only our neighbors, but even our enemies. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of Brake Check, we're coming to you LIVE from day two of the Tenstreet User Conference, and we're tackling the massive elephant in the room: AI. Everybody is talking about it, but what does practical AI actually mean for the industry? Charles Gracey hits the showroom floor to cut through the buzzwords and sit down with the heavy hitters shaping the future of freight and driver recruiting. First up, Charles is joined by Steve Brown, CRO of Tenstreet, to break down the highly-anticipated "Tenstreet Assistant." We're not talking about replacing the human element—we're talking about removing the mindless data entry and spreadsheet tracking so recruiters can get back to what matters: building real relationships with drivers. Then, Linnette Torres, Director of Compliance and Recruiting at CPC Logistics, drops in to give us a boots-on-the-ground look at the private fleet sector. Linnette shares CPC's impressive driver benefits, the gritty reality of recruiting in today's unpredictable market, and what it's really like to beta-test these new AI tools. Finally, Charles catches up with Kevin Hall, CEO of CDLLife. They dig into how data intelligence is mapping out the actual driver journey, the critical difference between passive and active job seekers, and why carrier recruiting budgets are finally starting to open back up as the market shifts. No fluff. No spin. Just real conversations about: What "real AI" actually looks like for carriers in 2026 Why the human touch will never be replaced in trucking Surviving the unpredictability of today's driver market No pie charts; No PowerPoints; No sanitized narratives. This is real trucking talk with real trucking people... calling out broken systems, asking uncomfortable questions, and demanding accountability where it's long overdue. If you care about the future of trucking, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss. Follow the Brake Check Podcast Other FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

Individuals imprisoned for their religion or belief continue to face state repression even upon their release. For example, in Saudi Arabia, China, and Egypt, many released prisoners face bans on leaving the country, preventing them from visiting family, speaking freely about their experiences, or finding work or residency in other countries. Such bans often have little oversight, transparency, or opportunity for appeal. In Vietnam, individuals are pressured not to speak to media or post on social media. In Nicaragua they are deported from the country as a condition for their release. Individuals in Iran may be forbidden from joining social groups or civil society organizations or face restrictions on their religious activities. They also may be sent into internal exile, miles away from their family and friends. In this episode of USCIRF Spotlight, Chair Vicky Hartzler speaks with Freedom House President Gerardo Berthin about individuals who continue to face restrictions on their religious freedom even after leaving prison. The episode highlights USCIRF-recommended CPC and SWL countries where such practices are in place and discusses policy recommendations for Congress and the administration to hold accountable governments engaged in these restrictions.
What happens when a 26-year performance marketing veteran looks at the creator and affiliate divide and says the industry is solving the wrong problem entirely?If your affiliate program and creator program sit in separate budget lines with separate managers measured against completely different success metrics, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar. Todd Ulisoe, Chief Revenue Officer of Nomix Group, has spent 26 years watching brands unknowingly build the same problem into their marketing structures over and over again. The solution, he argues, is not better technology. It's better people alignment.Todd's career reads like a history of digital marketing itself: Amazon in its early days, building one of the world's second-largest ad networks, marketing for Dane Cook before influencer was even a word, building and selling three separate businesses. Now at Nomix Group, overseeing a portfolio that processes three billion monthly queries, he's seeing exactly where the creator and affiliate worlds are colliding and how brands can stop treating that collision like a problem.Talking Points Include:Why the creator versus affiliate budget battle has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with how people are compensated, and what actually has to shift at C-suite level before any of it changesHow unified measurement frameworks work in practice, and why brands that reconcile creators and affiliates against the same verified transaction outcomes will outperform those that keep them siloedWhat three billion monthly queries tells you about where consumer intent is moving right now, and which channels are capturing purchase signals before Google even gets involvedWhy Todd believes the label affiliate marketing is holding the channel back, and what calling it performance-based media would actually unlock for brands trying to build market shareThe crawl, walk, run approach to integrating creators into your existing affiliate program without breaking the economics that are already workingListen to Find Out More About:Why Todd refuses to call it affiliate marketing anymore, and what renaming the channel to performance-based media would do for how brands budget and value itThe distinction between transparency and brand safety that changes how you should be questioning your publisher partners entirelyWhat the Target creator program restructure signals about where the rest of retail is heading with its partner mixClicks without context: the metric Todd says performance marketers are most consistently wrong about right now, and what to focus on insteadThe rapid fire round: one channel to back for the next five years, CPA versus revenue share, and the best conference opener after 26 years in the industryKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[06:25] Where the affiliate and creator worlds actually break down: different budget owners, different success metrics, and why forcing both into the same operating logic creates friction before a single campaign launches[18:31] What three billion monthly queries actually tells you about consumer intent in 2025 and which channels are picking up purchase signals before Google is even in the picture[24:15] CPC to CPA: why Todd says it is just math, how Shopnomix runs 90 to 95 percent CPA, and the four-step framework for proving out the economics before you scale[29:41] Rapid fire: creators or traditional affiliates for the next five years, the metric everyone gets wrong, and the line Todd uses at conferences after 26 years in the gameSend me a text with your questions

The kind of community we long for is real, but it looks nothing like what the world typically offers. When we turn to Scripture, we see a radically different vision of relationships, where love is genuine, self-giving, and strong enough to endure both joy and pain. This vision challenges the way we approach others, inviting us into a deeper, more honest, and more sacrificial way of living together. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how receiving Christ’s love can reshape the way we love one another. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

It's Casual Friday On today's program: Conservative pundits are failing to keep it together as the Trump administration's support continues to crater to record lows. One example is Scott Jennings live on CNN swearing Meidas Touch's wunderkind, Adam Mockler. Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation joins the program to recap the week's biggest stories. Topics include: The War in Iran, Trump's fixation on his own legacy, the buried DNC autopsy and more. For more from Jeet, check out his podcast "In the Time of Monsters". Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) joins the show to discuss the CPC's new Affordability Agenda. In the Fun Half: Pete Hegseth appears before congress as a part of the military's budget request hearings, and it does not go well for him. Hegseth implies the soldiers that survived the drone attack that killed 6 servicemembers were lying when they said that they had almost no support. Also at the hearing, Rep. Jason Crow exposes Hegseth recommissioning his personal attorney and now top adviser at the Pentagon Tim Parlatore, who also represents clients that are in line for promotion by Hegseth so that he could sidestep any venting process. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) goes on Fox to lie Kamala-style about how great the economy is. "You can just feel how good things are". Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) takes a different approach to manipulating people around the economy. Rick says that the higher prices at the pump are worth it because now we are safer and can live in freedom. Tim Pool's guest floats the idea that Ben Shapiro is running ads on Tucker Carlson's channel to capture his audience, but Tim shuts it down, saying it would be stupid and bad business—only to admit moments later that he's done the same thing to The Majority Report's channel.

Spring Fling & The Micro-Rest Revolution: Episode 270 with Heather Pettey, CPC & Dr. Carol Lynn It's a beautiful April, and that means it's time for some spring refreshing with your favorite Life Coach BFFs! Join host Heather Pettey, CPC, and the fabulous Dr. Carol Lynn as they celebrate the vibrant start of spring and discuss tangible ways to reorganize, re-energize, and step into your power. This week, the "dynamic duo" dives into the allergy struggles common this time of year—and correct etiquette for dealing with them in public!—before tackling the main event: the "Micro-Rest Revolution." Heather and Carol explain why finding just 60 to 90 seconds of intentional peace (what they call a "micro-rest") can be more effective for lowering cortisol and resetting your nervous system than a long nap. You'll get practical advice on somatic grounding, breathing exercises like box breathing, and even the simple restorative power of laughter. And you don't want to miss an impromptu "Show and Tell" where Heather shares her latest uplifting finds (on a budget!). In this episode, we chat about: April Refresh: Feeling the seasonal itch to reorganize, clear out the clutter, and step into your personal power. Allergy SOS: Experiencing one of the worst allergy seasons in years, and why dabbing is always better than blowing at the table. The Micro-Rest Revolution: How specific 60 to 90-second nervous system resets can lower cortisol more effectively than long breaks. Breathwork & Grounding: Dr. Carol Lynn's tips for box breathing and restoring your vagus nerve with humming, gargling, and somatic exercises. Sensory Therapy: Why scents and fragrances promotes memories and resets your environment (and how they helped Heather with COVID recovery!). Show & Tell! Heather's restful trip to Walmart (at 8:30 AM!) and the fabulous items she found to unstick her: The adorable beaded strawberry wristlet handbag (perfect for your essentials!). Grab here! The comfortable, stylish mint green slide shoes (and a peek into future Masters Party plans!). Her first waterless, cordless diffuser—and the Amazon fragrance that makes her home smell like the Ritz Carlton. Check-Out Chaos: A hilarious debate on the stress of shopping high peak times at big-box stores, self-checkout woes, and the "Great Walmart Pricing Mystery." Memory Lane: A fun trip back to the Humboldt, Tennessee Strawberry Festival, complete with floats, "Little Miss" royalty, snaps, and invisible dogs!
