When Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, researchers estimated it would cut U.S. carbon pollution by more than 40% by the mid-2030s. Then President Trump and a GOP majority partially repealed the law, and many of those emissions declines looked doubtful. What will U.S. carbon emissions look like after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act?We're starting to get a sense. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob talks with John Bistline and Ryna Cui about a new paper they coauthored modeling the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act's combined effects. Bistline is the head of science at Watershed and a former researcher at the Electric Power Research Institute. Cui is a professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy and the research director for its Center for Global Sustainability.Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap News.You can find a full transcript of the episode here.Mentioned:The new paper: Impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the US energy systemA cheat sheet on the energy policy changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act--This episode of Shift Key is sponsored by ...Heatmap Pro brings all of our research, reporting, and insights down to the local level.

We have Daniel Schlagwein on the show, who is what Germans call a "Tausendsassa:" He is both a practitioner and researcher of digital nomadism, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Information Technology, and president of the AIS special interest group on Grounded Theory Methodology. We touch upon all three of these aspects, but at the core we want to know from Daniel whether generative AI tools are automating grounded theory and thereby eliminate what used to be at the heart of a humanistic and constructionist approach to doing research – or are they merely leveling the playing field for qualitative field researchers by giving them computational support matching those tools that quantitative researchers have had for a long time. Daniel argues that it depends on the specific flavor of the grounded theory method you are using to determine whether and how you can leverage generative AI for such research.

China's job market remained generally stable in the first quarter of this year, with 2.99 million new jobs created in urban areas nationwide and an average surveyed urban unemployment rate of 5.3 percent, according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.今年一季度，我国就业形势保持总体稳定。人力资源社会保障部数据显示，全国城镇新增就业299万人，城镇调查失业率平均值为5.3%。From January to March, efforts focused on employment for key groups, such as college graduates and young people, to seize the critical period for graduates entering the job market and accelerate measures to help more secure employment as early as possible, Cui Pengcheng, a ministry spokesperson, said at a news conference on Tuesday.人力资源社会保障部新闻发言人崔鹏程在28日举行的新闻发布会上介绍，1至3月，我国聚焦高校毕业生、青年等重点群体就业，抢抓毕业生离校前求职关键期，加快落实各项举措，帮助更多人尽早实现就业。China has set a target of around 5.5 percent for the surveyed urban unemployment rate in 2026 and aims to create more than 12 million new urban jobs this year.我国已明确2026年城镇调查失业率控制在5.5%左右的目标，全年计划城镇新增就业1200万人以上。Policy measures have also been developed to expand large-scale vocational skills training, particularly by strengthening the supply of high-quality training resources in fields such as artificial intelligence, the low-altitude economy, new energy vehicles and elderly care services, Cui said.崔鹏程表示，已制定扩大大规模职业技能提升培训的政策措施，重点加强人工智能、低空经济、新能源汽车、养老服务等领域的优质培训资源供给。In collaboration with other departments, about 59,000 job fairs have been held nationwide, offering 36 million positions. Nearly 1 million "point-to-point" transportation trips have been provided for migrant workers, he said.他介绍，会同有关部门，全国已举办招聘会约5.9万场，提供岗位3600万个；为农民工提供近100万次“点对点”运输服务。vocational skills training /voʊˈkeɪʃənl skɪlz ˈtreɪnɪŋ/职业技能培训low-altitude economy /loʊ ˈæltɪˌtud ɪˈkɑnəmi/低空经济job fairs /dʒɑb fɛrz/招聘会
Further opening-up seen key to driving high-quality growth of fast-rising sector进一步开放是推动这一快速增长行业高质量发展的关键所在。China will intensify efforts to upgrade its fast-growing services sector, aiming to foster an open, competitive and high-quality ecosystem that benefits both Chinese consumers and global providers, experts and executives said.多位专家和企业高管均表示，中国将加大力度推动快速发展的服务业提质升级，旨在打造一个开放、竞争、高质量的生态系统，使中国消费者和全球服务提供者共同受益。To achieve this vision, the State Council — China's Cabinet — unveiled on Tuesday plans designed to steer producer services toward "greater specialization and higher positions in the value chain", while making consumer services "more quality-oriented, diversified and convenient".为实现这一愿景，国务院于周二发布了一份政策文件，旨在引导生产性服务业向“专业化和高端价值链延伸”，同时推动生活性服务业“向高品质、多样化、便利化发展”。China's services sector has grown steadily over the years, accounting for 57.7 percent of GDP in 2025, and it is expected its total scale will surpass 100 trillion yuan ($14.67 trillion) by the end of the decade — a 23 percent increase from current levels.多年来，中国服务业持续稳步增长，2025年占GDP比重达57.7%。预计到2030年，服务业总规模将突破100万亿元人民币（约合14.67万亿美元），较当前水平增长23%。Further opening-up is seen as key to advancing the high-quality growth of the services sector this year and beyond, evidenced by the Government Work Report's call to "orderly relax market access restrictions in the services sector" and the 15th Five-Year Plan's pledge to "expand high-level opening-up of the services sector".进一步开放是今年及未来推动服务业高质量发展的关键。《政府工作报告》提出“有序放宽服务业准入限制”，“十五五”规划纲要承诺“扩大服务业高水平对外开放”，均印证了这一点。After years of dismantling market access restrictions for foreign investors in manufacturing, China is now setting its sights on the services sector, where experts said the barriers remain relatively higher but the potential rewards for both the domestic economy and foreign firms are larger.在多年逐步取消制造业外资市场准入限制之后，如今，中国将目光投向服务业。专家表示，服务业的壁垒仍然相对较高，但对国内经济和外资企业而言，潜在回报也更大。Unlike manufacturing, services have long been a relative laggard in China's opening-up drive, constrained by complexities that "go far beyond simple market access", said Cui Fan, a professor of international trade at the University of International Business and Economics.对外经济贸易大学国际贸易教授崔凡指出，与制造业不同，服务业长期以来在中国对外开放进程中相对滞后，其制约因素“远不止简单的市场准入问题”，而是更为复杂。Cui said it involves the cross-border movement of data, capital, technology and talent, as well as rules covering environmental standards, intellectual property and professional qualifications.崔凡表示，这涉及数据、资本、技术和人才的跨境流动，以及涵盖环境标准、知识产权和职业资格等方面的规则。"This means that the future focus of services sector opening will be more about aligning domestic rules with international norms," Cui added.他补充说：“这意味着未来服务业开放的重点将更多放在国内规则与国际标准的对接上。”The accelerated opening-up comes as many economies retreat into protectionist shells. China has instead chosen to widen access, particularly in areas such as value-added telecommunications, biotechnology and wholly foreign-owned hospitals, according to the Cabinet's Tuesday policy document.当前，许多经济体正退回保护主义的“壳”中，而中国却加速推进对外开放。根据国务院周二发布的政策文件，中国选择进一步放宽市场准入，特别是在增值电信、生物技术、外商独资医院等领域。The country will also improve the management system covering the cross-border services trade negative list, and strengthen capabilities in data outbound compliance assessment and security certification as highlighted in the document.文件还强调，中国将完善跨境服务贸易负面清单管理制度，并加强数据出境合规评估和安全认证能力建设。Greater openness will speed the inflow of global quality services resources and advanced concepts, driving domestic services to upgrade their technology, business models and standards to align with international best practices, said Xu Shaofeng, senior vice-president of Schneider Electric.施耐德电气高级副总裁徐韶峰表示，更大程度的开放将加快全球优质服务业资源和先进理念的流入，推动国内服务业升级其技术、商业模式和标准，与国际最佳实践接轨。For foreign firms engaged in the services sector, they could gain access to a market of 1.4 billion people, including a middle-income group of 400 million that is projected to reach 800 million over the next decade.对于从事服务业的外资企业而言，它们将有机会进入一个拥有14亿人口的市场，其中包括一个4亿人的中等收入群体，而这一群体预计在未来十年将增至8亿人。"China's continued efforts to open up its services sector and its policies to boost services consumption have greatly enhanced our confidence in the market," said Mao Yibing, president of Marriott International Greater China.万豪国际集团大中华区总裁毛怡冰表示：“中国持续推进服务业开放以及促进服务消费的政策，大大增强了我们对市场的信心。”"Chinese consumers are paying increasing attention to experience," Mao said. "We can clearly see the strong potential of China's leisure travel market, with themes such as weekend getaways, family trips, cultural exploration and sports entertainment becoming key areas of focus."毛怡冰说：“中国消费者越来越注重体验。我们可以清晰地看到中国休闲旅游市场的巨大潜力，周末短途游、家庭出游、文化探索和体育娱乐等主题正成为重点关注的领域。”Marriott will continue to focus its expansion on first-tier and emerging first-tier cities, popular tourist destinations, and various business and leisure travel scenarios, to capture a larger share of one of the world's fastest-growing services consumption markets, she added.她补充说，万豪将继续把扩张重点放在一线及新兴一线城市、热门旅游目的地以及各类商务和休闲旅游场景上，以期在全球增长最快的服务消费市场之一中占据更大份额。Poh-Yian Koh, president of Fed-Ex China, an express transportation service provider, said that as China pushes to open its services sector wider, a more inclusive and sophisticated ecosystem is taking shape.快递运输服务提供商联邦快递中国区总裁许宝燕表示，随着中国推动服务业进一步扩大开放，一个更加包容、成熟的服务业生态系统正在形成。"The enabling development climate in China has been a key reason for the company's steady growth here, and it has further strengthened FedEx's confidence in long-term investment and in growing together with the Chinese market," Koh said.许宝燕说：“中国有利的发展环境一直是联邦快递在中国实现稳健增长的关键原因，这也进一步增强了公司长期投资、与中国市场共同成长的信心。”diversified /daɪˈvɜːsɪfaɪd/多样化的dismantle /dɪsˈmæntəl/逐步取消，拆除opening-up drive /ˈəʊpənɪŋ ʌp draɪv/对外开放进程cross-border movement /ˈkrɒs ˈbɔːdə ˈmuːvmənt/跨境流动intellectual property /ˌɪntəˈlektjʊəl ˈprɒpəti/知识产权protectionist /prəˈtekʃənɪst/保护主义的
Agencies have long struggled to manage so-called controlled unclassified information, or CUI. Now artificial intelligence is posing new and urgent challenges to how agencies handle, share and protect that sensitive information. But federal executives also see opportunities to use AI to modernize their approach to CUI. For more, Federal News Network's Justin Doubleday joins me.

Quanto conosci davvero la grammatica italiana? Con questo quiz potrai mettere alla prova il tuo livello reale su alcuni dei punti più insidiosi della lingua — nomi collettivi, pronomi, congiuntivo, condizionale e molto altro. 10 domande, una sola risposta corretta per ciascuna: scopri quante ne conosci. Quanto Conosci la Grammatica Italiana? 10 Regole da Non Sbagliare Le Regole del Quiz Prima di iniziare, tieni a mente queste semplici indicazioni. Non consultare dizionari o traduttori — affidati solo alle tue conoscenze. Rispondi a ogni domanda nella tua testa, prima di leggere la soluzione. Sii onesto con te stesso: il risultato sarà tanto più utile quanto più è sincero. Per ogni risposta corretta guadagni un punto. Alla fine scoprirai cosa significa il tuo punteggio. Le 10 Domande del Quiz Domanda 1 — Grammatica: I Nomi Collettivi Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «La gente... entusiasta del concerto.» A) sono B) è [...] Risposta Corretta: B) è «La gente» in italiano è un nome collettivo: si riferisce a più persone, ma è grammaticalmente sempre singolare. Il verbo va quindi sempre alla terza persona singolare: «la gente dice», «la gente fa», «la gente è». Lo stesso vale per parole simili come «il gruppo» e «la classe». Se si preferisce il plurale, si può sostituire con «le persone»: «le persone sono entusiaste del concerto». Domanda 2 — Grammatica: Il Futuro nel Passato Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Mi aveva promesso che... a trovarmi.» A) verrebbe B) sarebbe venuto [...] Risposta Corretta: B) sarebbe venuto Si tratta del cosiddetto futuro nel passato: descrive un'azione futura rispetto a un momento passato, ma che è già passata rispetto al momento in cui se ne parla. In italiano questo si esprime con il condizionale passato — a differenza di inglese, spagnolo e francese, dove si usano soluzioni diverse. Domanda 3 — Grammatica: I Pronomi "Li" e "Gli" Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Ho visto Marco e Luca e... ho dato il libro.» A) li B) gli [...] Risposta Corretta: B) gli Il verbo «dare» richiede un oggetto diretto (la cosa donata) e un oggetto indiretto (il destinatario). Marco e Luca sono i destinatari, quindi serve il pronome indiretto di terza persona plurale: «a loro» → «gli». «Li» è invece il pronome diretto — si usa quando si sostituisce l'oggetto diretto: «vedo Marco e Luca → li vedo». PronomeTipoEsempiolidiretto (3ª plurale maschile)«Vedo Marco e Luca → li vedo»gliindiretto (3ª plurale)«Do il libro a Marco e Luca → gli do il libro» Domanda 4 — Grammatica: Il Condizionale Dopo "Se" Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Sinceramente non so se io... sembra rischioso.» A) l'avrei fatto B) l'avessi fatto [...] Risposta Corretta: A) l'avrei fatto La regola generale dice di non usare il condizionale dopo «se» — ma esiste un'eccezione importante. Quando «se» introduce un'interrogativa indiretta, cioè una frase che esprime un dubbio o una domanda in forma indiretta, il condizionale è corretto. Queste frasi dipendono da verbi come «chiedersi», «non sapere», «domandarsi»: «Mi domando se le cose potrebbero cambiare.» «Non so se mi piacerebbe vivere all'estero.» «Non so se avrei fatto quello che tu hai fatto.» In questi casi il condizionale sottolinea che quanto espresso è soggetto a una condizione, anche sottintesa. Domanda 5 — Grammatica: I Verbi Pronominali Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Quando gli hanno detto che non era stato selezionato,... tantissimo.» A) se l'è presa B) se l'è preso [...] Risposta Corretta: A) se l'è presa Il verbo usato è prendersela — un verbo pronominale che significa arrabbiarsi o offendersi. Al passato prossimo si usa l'ausiliare «essere» e il participio passato concorda con il pronome «la» — non con il soggetto. Il risultato è sempre «presa», indipendentemente dal genere o dal numero del soggetto: «Io me la sono presa.» «Marco se l'è presa.» «Noi ce la siamo presa.» «Voi ve la siete presa.» Domanda 6 — Grammatica: Il Pronome Relativo "Cui" Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «È un quartiere... strade sono piene di negozi di souvenir.» A) che le B) le cui C) del cui D) le [...] Risposta Corretta: B) le cui Il pronome relativo «cui» preceduto da un articolo determinativo indica possesso. L'articolo va concordato in genere e numero con l'elemento posseduto — non con il possessore: «Marta, il cui cane è un barboncino» → «il» concorda con «cane» (maschile singolare) «Mio cugino, la cui moglie l'ha tradito» → «la» concorda con «moglie» (femminile singolare) «Un quartiere le cui strade sono piene di negozi» → «le» concorda con «strade» (femminile plurale) Domanda 7 — Grammatica: Il "Si" Impersonale con i Verbi Riflessivi Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «La domenica... sempre tardi.» A) si si sveglia B) ci si sveglia C) se si sveglia D) ci si svegliano [...] Risposta Corretta: B) ci si sveglia Il si impersonale si forma con «si» + verbo alla terza persona singolare. Con i verbi riflessivi, però, la forma verbale contiene già il proprio «si». La ripetizione «si si» non è ammessa, quindi il primo «si» impersonale diventa «ci»: «ci si sveglia», «ci si alza», «ci si vergogna». Domanda 8 — Grammatica: "Volerci" e la Concordanza Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Per finire il progetto... 3 mesi.» A) ci è voluto B) ci sono voluti C) ci hanno voluto [...] Risposta Corretta: B) ci sono voluti Volerci significa «essere necessario», richiede sempre l'ausiliare «essere» e concorda in genere e numero con la cosa necessaria: «Ci sono voluti 3 mesi» → «mesi» è maschile plurale → «voluti» «Ci è voluta un'ora» → «un'ora» è femminile singolare → «voluta» «Ci sono volute 3 ore» → «le ore» è femminile plurale → «volute» Domanda 9 — Grammatica: Il Pronome "Chi" Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Chi... un accento straniero spesso viene considerato affascinante.» A) hanno B) ha [...] Risposta Corretta: B) ha Anche se «chi» significa «tutte le persone che», come pronome è grammaticalmente singolare e richiede sempre il verbo alla terza persona singolare. Lo si vede chiaramente nei proverbi: «chi dorme non piglia pesci», «chi va con lo zoppo impara a zoppicare». Se si preferisce il plurale, si può usare «quelli che» o «coloro che». Domanda 10 — Grammatica: Il Congiuntivo Indipendente Scegli la forma corretta per completare la frase: «Che codardo!... almeno il coraggio di dirmelo in faccia!» A) avesse B) avrebbe [...] Risposta Corretta: A) avesse Di norma il congiuntivo dipende da un altro verbo principale. Esistono però casi in cui può comparire da solo: si chiama congiuntivo indipendente. In questo caso specifico ha valore esclamativo-desiderativo — esprime un desiderio frustrato, qualcosa che il parlante vorrebbe ma che non si sta verificando: «Se solo avesse il coraggio di dirmelo in faccia!» I Risultati del Quiz Conta i tuoi punti e scopri il tuo livello.

No. In italiano standard «la gente» richiede sempre il verbo alla terza persona singolare. Se si vuole usare il plurale, è necessario sostituirla con «le persone». Il Condizionale Dopo "Se" È Sempre Sbagliato? Non sempre. È sbagliato nei periodi ipotetici, dove dopo «se» va il congiuntivo. È invece corretto quando «se» introduce un'interrogativa indiretta — come in «non so se l'avrei fatto» o «mi domando se potrebbe cambiare». Come Si Distingue "Li" da "Gli"? «Li» è un pronome diretto: si usa con verbi come «vedere» o «chiamare». «Gli» è un pronome indiretto: si usa con verbi che richiedono la preposizione «a», come «dare», «dire», «scrivere». Con "Volerci" Si Usa Sempre "Essere"? Sì, «volerci» richiede sempre l'ausiliare «essere» al passato, e il participio concorda con il soggetto: «ci è voluta un'ora», «ci sono voluti tre giorni», «ci sono volute due settimane». Cos'è il Congiuntivo Indipendente? È un uso del congiuntivo in cui il verbo non dipende da nessun altro verbo principale. Ricorre in alcune strutture fisse della lingua parlata: valore desiderativo («avesse almeno il coraggio!»), valore concessivo («che venga pure») e valore dubitativo («che sia già arrivato?»).

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisaei discubuit. 37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrum unguenti : 38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. 39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis est mulier, quae tangit eum : quia peccatrix est. 40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic. 41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Duo debitores erant cuidam foeneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta. 42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit? 43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.Respondens Simon dixit : Aestimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit : Recte judicasti. 44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.Osculum mihi non dedisti : haec autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.Oleo caput meum non unxisti : haec autem unguento unxit pedes meos. 47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit. 48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?Et coeperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit? 50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.[47] "Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much": In the scripture an effect sometimes seems attributed to one only cause, when there are divers other concurring dispositions; for the sins of this woman, in this verse, are said to be forgiven, because she loved much: but (ver. 50) Christ tells her, Thy faith hath made thee safe. Hence in a true conversion are joined faith, hope, love, sorrow for sin, and other pious dispositions.

Cui îi dă, cât de des și în ce condiții (SpotMedia) - Anatomia unui eșec: Spitalele regionale la pământ. Iași și Cluj n-au turnat un metru de beton (Cotidianul) - Cum scăpăm de graffiti? Primarul Ciucu spune că este nevoie de câteva luni doar pentru avize (HotNews) PNL anunță că rupe coaliția dacă PSD va provoca o criză guvernamentală, deși Nicușor Dan a spus că „partidele din coaliție sunt condamnate să guverneze împreună” (Libertatea) Partidul condus de Ilie Bolojan a transmis luni seară, 23 martie, după ședința Biroului Politic Național de la Vila Lac, că „dacă PSD va provoca o criză guvernamentală, PNL nu va mai putea fi în Coaliție cu PSD”, formată în iunie 2025. Totuși, liberalii nu au explicat ce înțeleg prin „criză guvernamentală”, din moment ce nici acum nu există stabilitate cu partenerii de la PSD, informează Libertatea. Partidul premierului Ilie Bolojan a spus că România trece printr-o perioadă dificilă: context internațional complicat, deficit mare, probleme cu fondurile din PNRR și o economie fragilă. De aceea, spun liberalii, este nevoie de un guvern stabil și de predictibilitate. PNL a cerut partidului condus de Sorin Grindeanu „să revină la o atitudine responsabilă” și „să respecte acordul de coaliție și partenerii de guvernare”. Situația politică din coaliția PSD-PNL-USR-UDMR este extrem de complicată. PSD este principalul adversar al premierului Ilie Bolojan, iar președintele partidului, Sorin Grindeanu, a recunoscut încă din ianuarie că vrea ca Bolojan să plece, argumentând atunci că premierul PNL este inflexibil Deocamdată însă nu este clar dacă PSD vrea cu adevărat să iasă de la guvernare sau doar să îl determine pe Bolojan să plece singur din fruntea Guvernului. România intră oficial în situaţie de criză pe piaţa petrolului, dar Bogdan Ivan, ministrul energiei, dă asigurări că nu se pune problema limitării cantităţilor de carburanţi: Avem cantităţi. Veniturile suplimentare încasate de stat se vor întoarce la români (ZF) Azi va fi adoptată o Ordonanţă de Urgenţă prin care să fie declarată situaţia de criză pe piaţa ţiţeiului şi/sau a produselor petroliere şi să fie stabilite măsuri de protejare a economiei şi a populaţiei pe durata acestei crize. Intrarea în situaţia de criză îi permite Guvernului să introducă măsuri speciale de protecţie, fiscale sau care ţin de structura pieţei, scrie ZF. Oficial, Bogdan Ivan, ministrul energiei, a spus ieri că România nu are o criză de lichiditate pe piaţa carburanţilor şi că nu se pune problema limitării cantităţilor. Băluță împarte bani de benzină, în Sectorul 4. Cui îi dă, cât de des și în ce condiții (SpotMedia) Primarul Sectorului 4, Daniel Băluță, a anunțat, într-o conferință de presă, că va acorda – vreme de jumătate de an – ajutoare de 200 lei pentru carburant unora dintre cetățenii pe care îi reprezintă. Estimarea inițială a instituției arată că circa 30.000 de familii din sector ar putea beneficia de acest sprijin, aflăm de pe pagina SpotMedia. “Ajutorul pentru carburant se va da 6 luni de zile, o lună da, una nu, pentru cei care locuiesc în sectorul 4 de mai mult de 1 an, au loc de muncă și dețin vehicule cu capacitate cilindrică sub 2000 cm cubi. Și care au salariul (per membru de familie - n.red.) sub 5.000 lei”, a declarat Daniel Băluță. Anatomia unui eșec: Spitalele regionale la pământ. Iași și Cluj n-au turnat un metru de beton (Cotidianul) Aflate în mai toate programele politice din ultimele două decenii, construirea de la zero a cel puțin trei spitale regionale întârzie și noile termene-limită au fost mutate în decembrie 2028, în cel mai bun caz cu putință. 2020 și 2024 sunt doar două dintre termenele promise pentru terminarea spitalelor regionale de urgență. Am ajuns în martie 2026, iar până la finalizarea lor mai este drum lung, fiind puse doar primele cărămizi. Stadiul cel mai avansat este la SRU Craiova. Înghețul e de vină la Iași pentru blocarea lucrărilor. Dintre cele trei spitale regionale, cele mai mari probleme sunt la Cluj Napoca. Pe larg în Cotidianul. Șase dintre cei opt membri AUR care au dat în judecată partidul ca să-și recupereze banii cheltuiți la europarlamentarele din 2024 au pierdut în primă instanță. Cinci dintre ei au luat bani împrumut de la Maricel Păcuraru, patronul Realitatea Plus (G4Media) Opt membri ai partidului AUR condus de George Simion au dat în judecată partidul, în 2025, pentru a-și recupera banii pe care i-au cheltuit în campania pentru europarlamentarele din 2024, potrivit documentelor din justiție. Ei nu au obținut mandatele de europarlamentari și nici n-au mai primit înapoi banii cu care au contribuit în campania electorală. Cinci dintre ei sunt datori câte 2,3 milioane de lei fiecare la Maricel Păcuraru, patronul de facto al postului Realitatea Plus. Tribunalul Ilfov le-a respins acțiunile pe motiv că litigiul invocat de ei este inadmisibil și i-a trimis să se judece „pe drept comun”, potrivit deciziilor consultate de G4Media. Cum scăpăm de graffiti? Primarul Ciucu spune că este nevoie de câteva luni doar pentru avize (HotNews) Curățarea clădirilor monument istoric de graffiti sau de afișele lipite ilegal, este în acest moment extrem de greoaie, fiind nevoie de proiect de arhitectură, aviz de la Ministerul Culturii și autorizație, a declarat luni primarul general, Ciprian Ciucu, în cadrul dezbaterii „Graffiti, o boală grea a Bucureștiului, cum o tratăm”. Primarul a propus un regulament prin care proprietarii să fie obligați să curețe clădirile, iar Primăria să plătească 80% din costurile intervenției. Dar, spun autoritățile, pe actuala legislație, intervenția este foarte dificilă pentru că este îngreunată de birocrație. Continuarea pe pagina HotNews. Subiectul este și în atenția publicației Cultura la dubă. “Graffiti/tagging-ul dau senzația de spațiu public degradat, abadonat. Acesta atrage mizerie și sărăcie. O zonă degradată nu mai atrage afaceri, afceri care ar putea investi în clădirile care să fie introduse în circuitul economic ca hoteluri-butic, restaurante etc. Cer o soluție! Ministerul culturii, Parlamentul, sistemul de justiție, cu toții au un rol important să dezlege mâinile primarilor și să ne lase să facem treabă!” – a scris Ciprian Ciucu pe pagina sa oficială de facebook. Într-un reportaj realizat de Cultura la dubă în 2020, unii dintre cei mai cunoscuți artiști stradali din România, membri ai Sweet Damage Crew vorbeau despre viziunea lor asupra acestei mișcări artistice de stradă. Sweet Damage Crew realizează proiecte artistice majore, legale, unele chiar în parteneriat cu instituții publice. De exemplu, câteva tramvaie pictate de ei circulă în prezent sau au circulat prin București. “Nu poți să ai o capitală europeană în care să nu existe graffiti. Fără graffiti, orașul ăla e mort.”

Taking over a family machine shop is one challenge. Scaling it rapidly while navigating defense-industry cybersecurity requirements is another entirely. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Paul sits down with Jessica Eckman of Bent River Machine, an Arizona-based factory tooling and automation company that has been building complex equipment since 1978. After Jessica and her husband took over the business in 2021, Bent River experienced explosive growth, landing on the Inc. 5000 list after expanding more than 125% in a single year. Jessica shares how a combination of long-standing customer relationships, major automation projects, and a surge in demand from companies like Amazon and Sonix pushed the company from a $5 million operation to more than $12 million in revenue almost overnight. With limited time to expand facilities, the team had to rethink planning, outsourcing, subcontractor relationships, and internal logistics to scale quickly without losing control. Midway through the conversation, we pivot to one of the most pressing topics in defense manufacturing today: CMMC 2.0 certification. Jessica walks through Bent River's year-long journey to achieve Level 2 certification, covering everything from cybersecurity systems and physical security requirements to auditing, consultants, and real-world implementation challenges for manufacturers. For shops working in the defense supply chain, this episode offers a rare inside look at what it actually takes to become CMMC compliant and why it will soon be unavoidable for much of the industry.

effrey Epstein und die Frage, die niemand stellt: Cui bono?Über Kompromat, Machtarchitekturen und die Kunst, ein Imperium parteiübergreifend auf Kurs zu halten.Ein Standpunkt von Anna Zollner.Bevor Jeffrey Epstein 2008 erstmals verurteilt wurde, hatte er bereits seit den frühen 1990er-Jahren über mehr als ein Jahrzehnt hinweg Zugang zu politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sicherheitsnahen Eliten aufgebaut – unbehelligt, dokumentiert, institutionell geduldet.Epstein „wirkte“ lange, bevor er juristisch auffällig wurde.In den 1990er-Jahren taucht er als Gastgeber, Vermittler und Fixpunkt gesellschaftlicher Events auf. In dieser Zeit entstehen stabile Routinen und belastbare Netzwerkstrukturen. Warnungen gab es zuhauf, wurden aber immer folgenlos zu den Akten gelegt. Als es in den 2000er-Jahren zu Hausdurchsuchungen in Epsteins Manhattan-Townhouse kommt, ist das kein Anfang, sondern nur ein Einschnitt in ein etabliertes System. Ein vorläufiger Einschnitt.Material wird beschlagnahmt, katalogisiert – und anschließend von den ermittelnden Behörden selbst entschärft. Keine Kettenreaktion, kein Flächenbrand. Stattdessen staatliche Vertuschung. Diese Vorgehensweise hält bis heute an.Jeffrey Epstein war nie der Kern der Geschichte. Er war das Fenster. Allerdings ein verspiegeltes Fenster. Wem es gelingt, hinter dieses Fenster zu blicken, erkennt eine Machtarchitektur, die sich selbst so diszipliniert hat, dass sie ohne sichtbare Befehle funktioniert. Wer Epstein daher als isolierten Sexualstraftäter liest, verpasst den eigentlichen Befund. Nicht, weil Epsteins Verbrechen zweitrangig wären, sondern weil sie in ihrer jahrelangen Straflosigkeit, ihrer institutionellen Duldung und ihrer auffälligen politischen Folgenlosigkeit erklärungsbedürftig sind.Diese Straflosigkeit war kein Fehler, sondern ein organisiertes Wegsehen. Anzeigen versandeten, Zuständigkeiten wechselten, Verfahren wurden verschleppt. Hier existierte offensichtlich eine schützende Hand im Hintergrund, was sich spätestens ab 2008 nicht mehr leugnen lässt.Der Deal von 2008 markierte nämlich einen Präzedenzfall: Epstein verbüßte seine Strafe wegen organisierter Prostitution von Minderjährigen nicht unter regulären Haftbedingungen, sondern erhielt Sonderkonditionen – eine Art Belohnung. Er durfte das Gefängnis tagsüber verlassen, außerhalb arbeiten und abends zurückkehren. Dieses sogenannte „Work-Release“-Regime war außergewöhnlich. Parallel blockierte ein Nichtverfolgungsabkommen die Bundesebene und schloss mögliche Mitbeschuldigte ausdrücklich ein. Ohne korrigierende Kraft im Hintergrund ist das nicht zu erklären.Offiziell verantwortlich war der damalige Bundesstaatsanwalt Alexander Acosta, der später in die US-Regierung aufstieg. Auf Nachfragen erklärte er Jahre später, man habe ihm signalisiert, Epstein gehöre zu „wichtigen Leuten“. Was genau damit gemeint war, blieb offen.Alexander Acosta verschwand nach dem Epstein-Deal nicht aus dem System. Im Gegenteil. Unmittelbar nach 2008 folgte kein Bruch, keine Sanktion, keine juristische Überprüfung, sondern ein nahtloser Aufstieg.Von 2009 bis 2017 amtierte Acosta als Dekan der Florida International University College of Law – eine akademische Spitzenposition, die institutionelles Vertrauen signalisiert, nicht Zweifel. ...https://apolut.net/cui-bono-jeffrey-epstein-von-anna-zollner/ Hosted on Acast.

Bombningar, en tillfångatagen president och kontroll över oljan. Kan USA:s attack på Venezuela rita om världskartan för det svarta guldet? Den nedgångna oljeindustrin ska rustas upp och USA ska göra jobbet, men det blir inte lätt enligt experter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. När USA:s president Donald Trump höll sin presskonferens efter attacken mot Venezuela betonade han hur viktig oljan är. Han sa bland annat att de stora amerikanska oljebolagen ska gå in i Venezuela och satsa miljarder dollar.Oljans rollEn fråga man bör ställa sig, enligt Ekots ekonomikommentator Knut Kainz Rognerud, är vem som tjänar på detta och påminner om tidigare möten mellan Trump och oljebolagschefer.”Ett ganska bra klassiskt latinskt uttryck är: Cui bono - till vems gagn? För det finns många gånger en ekonomisk vinning för Trump själv, hans närstående, hans vänner eller hans finansiärer när han beslutar om politiska handlingar”, säger han.En lång historiaVenezuelas oljeindustri har en lång historia tillsammans med amerikanska oljeföretag. Den venezuelanska staten gav de amerikanska bolagen utvinningsrättigheter. Med början redan under mellankrigstiden gjorde bolagen de stora investeringar som krävdes för att få upp oljan ur marken.”Det här har hela tiden varit uppgörelsen. Oljan har aldrig ägts av de amerikanska bolagen. Det har skett under koncessioner”, säger Fredrik Uggla, docent i statskunskap, Uppsala universitet och tidigare chef för Latinamerikainstitutet vid Stockholms universitet.Sedan 1970-talet och framåt har sedan villkoren för utvinningen ändrats och den Venezuelanska staten har krävt att få en större del av de vinster som skapats. Men många personer med kunskap har flytt från Venezuela undan den politiska repressionen och oljeproduktionen har minskat kraftigt sedan glansdagarna.Priserna har fallitVärlden behöver inte mer olja just nu, enligt energimarknadsexperter. Det finns mer än vad som behövs på marknaden och priserna föll under förra året.”Förmodligen kommer vi se dem falla ännu mer”, säger Samuel Ciszuk, energianalytiker på ELS Analysis.Men han tror ändå att den tunga oljan från Venezuela kan vara användbar för att till exempel blandas med lättare olja från USA. Därför kan det finnas ett intresse för amerikanska oljebolag att komma tillbaka till Venezuela.Programledare: Anders Jelmin Producent: Olof Wijnbladh Tekniker: Alma SegeholmMedverkande och röster i programmet:Fredrik Uggla, docent i statskunskap, Uppsala universitetKnut Kainz Rognerud, ekonomikommentator, Ekot Donald Trump, president, USAMike Wirth, vd, Chevron Samuel Ciszuk, energianalytiker, ELS AnalysisThina Saltvedt, energianalytiker, Nordeaekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se
Autoritățile de la Chișinău planifică să separe procesul de reintegrare a regiunii transnistrene și parcursul de integrare europeană al Republicii Moldova. Anunțul a fost făcut în cadrul unei conferințe care a avut loc la Chișinău și la care a participat și invitata de astăzi a Moldova Zoom, Angela Grămadă, președinta Asociației Experți pentru Securitate și Afaceri Globale. Am discutat și despre ce se știe despre noul plan de reglementare despre care se vorbește foarte puțin la Chișinău, dar și despre viitoarea decizie a Consiliului European privind formatul de continuare a negocierilor de aderae a Republicii Moldova la UE. Iată temele ediției: - Dificultățile energetice prin care trece Republica Moldova din cauza atacurilor Rusiei asupra sistemului energetic al Ucrainei au devenit subiect de știri false în Romania. Cui servește aceasta dezinformare? Explică Ecaterina Tanasiiciuc. - Ce se va întâmpla cu aderarea Republicii Moldova la UE dacă Rusia nu va fi de acord cu asta? Îngrijorarea este în creștere în contextul discuției despre planul de pace între Rusia și Ucraina. De ce? Ne explică jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Republica Moldova trebuie să continue reformele și pregătirea internă pentru integrarea europeană, indiferent de ritmul sau deblocarea deciziilor politice la nivelul Uniunii Europene. - O alarmă falsă cu bombă a vizat în acest weekend trenul de pe ruta București – Kiev. - Ministerul de Externe de la Chișinău avertizează cetățenii Republicii Moldova aflați în Federația Rusă că autoritățile ruse ar putea cere să semneze un contract de serviciu militar străinilor care solicită permis de ședere sau cetățenie rusă. - Încep plățile compensatorii pentru consumul de energie oferite populației vulnerabile de Guvernul de la Chișinău. Știrile zilei: Republica Moldova trebuie să continue reformele și pregătirea internă pentru integrarea europeană, indiferent de ritmul sau deblocarea deciziilor politice la nivelul Uniunii Europene, afirmă Marcel Spătari, președintele Comisiei parlamentare pentru integrare europeană. „Trebuie să pregătim țara ca să fie eligibilă pentru aderare, indiferent de cum progresează negocierile”, a declarat Marcel Spătari într-un interviu la RFI. Săptămâna aceasta are loc ședința Consiliului European, ultima în acest an, în cadrul căreia vom afla în ce format vor continua negocierile de aderare cu Republica Moldova, în pofida opoziției pe care o are Ungaria față de avansarea discuțiilor cu Ucraina. Marcel Spătari spune însă că, deși deschiderea negocierilor de aderare este o decizie politică ce urmează să fie luată de statele membre ale UE, responsabilitatea autorităților de la Chișinău este să mențină ritmul reformelor interne, pe linia deciziei ambițioase de a avea finalizate toate reformele necesare aderării către 2028. *** O alarmă falsă cu bombă a vizat în acest weekend trenul de pe ruta București – Kiev, care a fost oprit pentru verificări la ieșire din Republica Moldova în direcția Ucrainei. Un apel anonim la linia verde a căilor ferate ucrainene a anunțat că trenul din patru vagoane ar fi minat. Verificările au arătat că alarma a fost una falsă. *** Tot în weekend Rusia a bombardat din nou sistemul energetic al Ucrainei, iar regiunea Odesa a rămas fără electricitate, apă și încălzire, după cel mai masiv atac de la începutul agresiunii ruse. Peste un milion de consumatori din Ucraina au rămas fără energie electrică. În urma acestor atacuri, are de suferit și Republica Moldova, care fără suportul infrastructurii ucrainene resimte o presiune crescândă asupra rețelelor liniilor electric din care importă curent electric din România. *** Ministerul de Externe de la Chișinău avertizează cetățenii Republicii Moldova aflați în Federația Rusă asupra unor schimbări importante în legislația rusă care impun străinii care solicită permis de ședere sau cetățenie rusă să semneze un contract de serviciu militar. Ministerul de Externe subliniază că există riscul ca solicitanții să fie presați să accepte obligații militare și recomandă cetățenilor moldoveni să manifeste maximă prudență și să nu semneze niciun document cu caracter militar fără consultare juridică. În cazul presiunilor sau al situațiilor abuzive, aceștia sunt sfătuiți să solicite imediat asistență consulară. *** Încep plățile compensatorii pentru consumul de energie oferite populației vulnerabile de Guvernul de la Chișinău. Peste 600 de mii de gospodării în care locuiesc peste 1,2 milioane de persoane, vor beneficia de compensații la energie, valaorea cărora este între 25 și 50 de euro. Compensațiile vor fi acordate pe durata întregului sezon de încălzire. Programul „Ajutor la contor” oferă, pentru al patrulea an consecutiv, compensații la energie gospodăriilor vulnerabile.

In this episode of Robots and Red Tape, Nick Schutt talks with Sandeep Kathuria — partner at Ice Miller, 15+ year government contracts attorney, and one of the few people who's been in the room since the very first DoD cyber rules in 2009 — about the brand-new CMMC program that became contractually enforceable in November 2025. We break down: The 6½-year journey from DFARS 7012 to the final CMMC rule Exactly what Level 1, Level 2, and (eventually) Level 3 require Why self-attestation is gone and third-party certification is mandatory The assessor bottleneck (100+ accredited worldwide) and how to get in line Real workarounds small companies are already using (store CUI on your prime's compliant system) False Claims Act landmines around inflated SPRS scores Whether all this new red tape will actually scare innovators away from DoD work If you touch DoD contracts in any way — prime, sub, or supplier — this is required listening.

Statele Unite isi redimensioneaza trupele din Europa si retrag aproximativ 800 de soldați de la baza Mihail Kogălniceanu. Aproximativ 1.000 de militari americani vor rămâne dislocați în țara noastră. Presedintele Nicuşor Dan sustine ca securitatea României şi a flancului estic nu va fi în niciun fel diminuată. Parteneriatul strategic rămâne în aceiaşi parametri. Daca e totusi o actiune care vulnerabilizeaza Romania si daca Rusia va specula acest moment, discutam imediat. Cui îi e frică de Oana Gheorghiu? PSD ar trebui sa se retraga de la guvernare daca continua sa faca opozitie in interiorul Coalitiei. Este opinia politologului Cristian Preda, profesor de științe politice la Universitatea din București dupa ce Sorin Grindeanu i-a cerut premierului sa retraga nominalizarea Oanei Gheorghiu pentru functia de vicepremier, mutare care in opinia liderului social-democrat ar dauna relatiei cu Statele Unite. Premierul desemnat al R.Moldova, Alexandru Munteanu, a avut consultări cu fracțiunile din opoziția parlamentară Socialiștii, comuniștii, deputații din partidul lui Costiuc și fracțiunea lui Renato Usatîi, spun că nu vor vota noul Guvern. Iar deputații din blocul ”Alternativa” se mai gândesc. Consultările vin după ce candidatul desemnat a prezentat echipa alaturi de care va merge vineri în Parlament pentru a cere votul de încredere. Donald Trump a anunţat că nu se va întâlni cu liderul nord-coreean Kim Jong Un în timpul turneului său asiatic aflat în desfăşurare, întrucât nu au putut „conveni momentul”. Intre timp, Phenianul a efectuat un nou test cu rachete balistice chiar înaintea sosirii preşedintelui american în Coreea de Sud, unde are loc summitul Forumului de Cooperare Economică Asia-Pacific.

Listen in as your host Just Nate talks with Mike Crandal, CEO and co-founder of Digital Beachhead. The Urgency of CMMC 2.0: November 10th is the date for Article 48 implementation, making CMMC a mandatory default clause in all new DoD solicitations. Many small businesses are panicked because they didn't believe it would actually happen.A History Lesson in Compliance: The discussion traces the evolution from DFARS 7012 to DFARS 7019, which introduced NIST 800-171 controls and the PoAM (Program of Action and Milestones) system. CMMC was created to replace the unreliable self-attestation and perpetual PoAMs.CMMC 2.0 Levels and Requirements:Level 1 (FCI): For Federal Contract Information (FCI) only. Requires 15 controls and allows for self-assessment by a senior company representative.Level 2 (CUI): For Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Requires all 110 NIST 800-171 controls and 320 objectives. Self-attestation is allowed for the first 12 months, but prime contractors (like Lockheed or Boeing) can still demand 3CPAO certification immediately.Understanding CUI: CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) is a major gray area often defined differently by each government customer. They stress that CUI is not a security classification but a marking, and contractors should only mark information as CUI if the government has explicitly designated it as such.The Insurance Factor: Cyber insurance companies are now increasingly requiring CMMC-Level certification before they will pay out on a ransomware or data breach claim, making compliance an essential part of risk management.The Assessment Process: Mike outlines the four phases of a CMMC assessment by a C3PAO (like Digital Beach Head):Pre-assessment: Initial review of your data and readiness.Interview & On-site Visit: A deep dive into paperwork, controls, and physical security.Certification: Receiving a final or conditional certification.EMAS Upload: Submitting the results to the government's official system.The typical process for a small business takes three to four weeks.Cost & Strategy for Small Businesses: The average cost for a Level 2 assessment for a small business is between $40K and $50K (a one-time payment for the three-year certification). For companies with only a small portion of DoD work, they recommend creating a secure, isolated enclave (like a GCC High or Cloud PC VDI solution) to reduce the scope—and cost—of the assessment.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a new edict last week to reduce the time personnel spend on cybersecurity training, among other reforms. The directive came in a Sept. 30 memo to senior Pentagon leadership and DOD agency and field activity directors, ordering the military departments, in coordination with the Pentagon's chief information officer, to “Relax the mandatory frequency for Cybersecurity training.” Hegseth also called for narrowly tailoring records management training to service member roles and allowing flexibility in training delivery, as well as automating information management systems to eliminate training requirements. Additionally, Hegseth directed the military departments and other Pentagon leaders to “relax” the mandatory frequency for controlled unclassified information (CUI) training; remove Privacy Act Training from the Common Military Training (CMT) list; eliminate the mandatory frequency for “Combating Trafficking in Persons” refresher training after appropriate legislation is enacted; consolidate mandatory training topics, “as appropriate”; and develop an integrated CMT program plan. The changes are to be “implemented expeditiously,” per Hegseth's directive. Federal courts are upgrading their cybersecurity on a number of fronts, but multifactor authentication for the system that gives the public access to court data poses “unique challenges,” the Administrative Office of the United States Courts told Sen. Ron Wyden in a letter last week. Wyden, D-Ore., wrote a scathing August letter to the Supreme Court in response to the latest major breach of the federal judiciary's electronic case filing system. The director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts responded on behalf of the Supreme Court. It is “simply not the case” that the courts have, in the words of Wyden, “ignored” advice from experts on securing the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system, wrote Robert Conrad Jr., director of the office. Conrad wrote in the Sept. 30 letter: “Substantial planning for the modernization effort began in 2022, and we are now approaching the development and implementation phase of the project. We expect implementation will begin in the next two years in a modular and iterative manner.” In recent years, the office has been testing technical components on its modernization effort, and is centralizing the operation of data standards to enable security, Conrad said.

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisaei discubuit. 37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrum unguenti : 38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. 39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis est mulier, quae tangit eum : quia peccatrix est. 40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic. 41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Duo debitores erant cuidam foeneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta. 42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit? 43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.Respondens Simon dixit : Aestimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit : Recte judicasti. 44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.Osculum mihi non dedisti : haec autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.Oleo caput meum non unxisti : haec autem unguento unxit pedes meos. 47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit. 48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?Et coeperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit? 50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.Let us weep for our sins.
This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright break down five eye-opening research studies from 2025 that challenge everything you thought you knew about obesity, dieting, and metabolism. The hosts explore surprising new evidence on fitness trackers, the metabolic power of joy (and dessert!), the risks of intermittent fasting, how yo-yo dieting can damage kidney health, and the permanent impact of dieting on your brain-gut connection.Dr. Cooper shares clinical insights and explains why simple fixes—strict diets, calorie counting, and food restriction—can actually backfire, causing more harm than good. From the science of hormone signaling to the pitfalls of diet culture, the conversation reveals powerful new reasons to embrace flexibility, balance, and self-kindness on the journey to metabolic health.Key Takeaways:Fitness trackers can dramatically underestimate calorie burn—errors can reach 93%, especially for people with higher body weight. Companies rarely test enough real-world diversity and may fudge numbers for marketing.Including dessert and “forbidden foods” in your diet leads to better metabolic outcomes, greater mental stability, and less risk of binge eating or weight regain. Joyful eating helps regulate critical hormones like leptin and ghrelin.Intermittent fasting is linked to hair loss. Energy deficits force the body to use fatty acids as fuel, which can damage hair follicle stem cells. Long-term fasting negatively disrupts glucose/insulin balance and destabilizes metabolism.Yo-yo dieting (weight cycling) now shows a direct connection with kidney damage—even in those at normal weight. Rapid weight shifts restrict kidney blood flow, raise cortisol, and cause irreversible damage.Dieting creates lasting changes in the microbiome and brain-gut signaling that promote weight regain and appetite dysregulation. Even a single round of weight cycling can create stubborn metabolic obstacles.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares why dessert is a staple of her happiness—and how mental restriction backfires. Dr. Cooper gives real-world examples from patients: eating favorite foods can unlock better weight results, while “diet damage” often lingers until medical treatment repairs it.

嗨～大家最近是不是也在工作裡載浮載沉（我們懂
On September 10th, 2025 the "CMMC Final Rule" was published in CFR48. After about seven years of starts and stops, determining Level classifications, the number of controls and compliance needed, CMMC certification is now set to be in certain DOD contracts starting November 10th. Cost of compliance has varied greatly, but when dealing with FCI and CUI data, this certification will protect that data through the supply stream. Listen as Eric Crusius, Partner from Hunton Andrews Kurth and Perry Keating, President of Protiviti Government Services discuss the rule and ramifications.

Leute, diesmal ging es gleich hinein in die Katakomben der Liga, die Untiefen des ersten Spieltags. Irgendwo zwischen Küchenschlacht und Kabinen-Hygiene, zwischen Anfangseuphorie und Instant-Ernüchterung. Denn, machen wir uns nichts vor, das Ding ist durch. Die Meisterschaft entschieden, der FC Bayern schon uneinholbar weit weg. Da kann man jetzt schon mit dem Fernglas beobachten, wie sich Weihnachtsmann und Osterhase Gute Nacht sagen. Oder so ähnlich. Schließlich ist die Liga schon Ende August ein April-Scherz auf Kosten des Wettbewerbs. Ohne Stars und ohne Spannung. Mit Leasing in Giesing, und Landflucht in Leverkusen. Aber was bedeutet das für uns und den deutschen Fußball? Quo vadis, liebe DFL? Cui bono, Uli Hoeneß? Und, viel wichtiger noch: Hätten Sie Marco Friedl erkannt? Obwohl der ein Torwart-Trikot der Eintracht übergezogen hatte? Und obwohl er aussieht wie der Zweitplatzierte eines Robin-Koch-Doppelgänger-Wettbewerbs in einer Schlagerdisco in Aurich? Diese Fragen haben wir uns gestellt und vielleicht sogar beantwortet. Mit ordentlich Polemik, sehr viel Pomade und gerade genug Profilneurose, um uns selbst treu zu bleiben. Und für all jene, die sich jetzt nicht ganz zu Unrecht wundern, ob es denn doch wieder nur um die Bayern, den BVB und den zu Konfetti zerrissenen Regenbogen am Millerntor ging, haben wir zwischen den Zeilen ein Haiku über Sandro Wagner versteckt. In diesem Sinne: viel Vergnügen mit dieser neuen Folge. FUSSBALL MML - denn alles andere ist ernst gemeint!
In this FPS episode, I sit down with CEO Terrance McGraw of Cape Endeavors, Brandon Sessions of Gray Analytics and Andy Paul of Teramis. These three work together to identify CUI, keep data safe and conduct assessments for companies to ensure CMMC compliance.
All-out disaster relief and rescue operations are underway in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province as torrential rainfall wreaked havoc in northern China since the beginning of the week, damaging roads, disrupting power and water supplies, and prompting mass evacuation.自本周初以来，中国北方地区遭遇了持续的强降雨，造成了严重的破坏，导致道路损毁、电力和供水系统中断，并引发了大规模的疏散行动。目前，北京、天津和河北省正在全力开展救灾和救援工作。As of Tuesday evening, the death toll from severe downpours in Beijing was 30, with 28 deaths reported in the city's mountainous Miyun district and two in Yanqing district, while eight more people died in Hebei, where a landslide struck Luanping county, according to local authorities.截至周二晚间，北京因强降雨造成的死亡人数已达30人，其中位于山区的密云区有28人死亡，延庆区有2人死亡，而河北省也有8人丧生，该省的滦平县发生山体滑坡事故。此数据由当地有关部门提供。The rainstorm alert in Beijing, where 80,332 people were moved to safety, was canceled on Tuesday as the rain bands weakened and shifted eastward. The city, however, remains on its highest level of flood-control emergency response.北京的暴雨警报已于周二解除，当时有80332人已被转移至安全地带。由于雨带减弱并向东移动，该警报得以取消。不过，该市仍处于最高级别的防洪应急响应状态。Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing, who has been entrusted by President Xi Jinping to oversee relief and rescue efforts in Beijing, led relevant department officials on Monday night to Miyun, where they met and consoled affected residents and guided flood prevention and disaster relief work.周一晚上，国务院副总理被习总书记委以重任，率领相关部门官员前往密云，与受灾居民会面并给予他们安慰，同时指导了防洪和救灾工作。Zhang emphasized that during the crucial period for flood control, special attention should be paid to vulnerable groups including the elderly, the ailing, and people with disabilities, ensuring their safe relocation. It is important to scientifically manage the flow and discharge of floodwaters and make every effort to minimize disaster losses, he added.张强调，在防汛的关键时期，应特别关注老年人、患病者和残疾人群体，确保他们能够安全转移。他还指出，要科学管理洪水的流动和排放，尽一切努力减少灾害损失。The maximum rainfall across entire Beijing was registered in two Miyun towns at 543 millimeters, with nearly 17,000 residents relocated in Miyun district as of Tuesday morning, according to the Beijing municipal government.据北京市政府消息，北京全市的最大降雨量出现在密云的两个镇，达543毫米。截至周二上午，密云区已有近17000名居民被转移安置。Along a stretch of the Chaohe River in Miyun, fast-moving, muddy floodwaters submerged lower tree branches, although heavy rain had eased to a drizzle by Tuesday noon.在密云县的潮河一段河段，湍急浑浊的洪水淹没了较低处的树枝，尽管周二中午时分雨势已减弱为小雨。Gao Jianhua, a grassroots leader at the Armed Police Force Beijing Corps, was among nearly 1,000 soldiers deployed to build flood barriers near the district's Ningcunxin bridge.高建华是武警北京总队的一名基层干部，他与近1000名士兵一起被派往该地区附近的宁村新桥附近修建防洪堤。"When we started work around 8 pm on Monday, it was pouring. We could tell with our own eyes that the water level was quickly rising. The situation felt critical and urgent," Gao said, adding that they worked nonstop for 12 hours to complete the basic structure of a 1.6-kilometer-long embankment.“周一晚上8点我们开始施工时，雨势正猛。我们亲眼看到水位在迅速上涨。那种情况显得十分危急且紧迫。”高说道，并补充说他们连续工作了12个小时，才完成了1.6公里长的堤坝的基本结构。"A total of 100,000 sandbags were used, meaning that each soldier had loaded and transported about 100 sandbags throughout the process," he said, adding that reinforcement of the sandbag barrier was underway.“总共使用了10万个沙袋，这意味着每位士兵在整个过程中平均搬运和运输了约100个沙袋。”他说道，并补充说沙袋屏障的加固工作正在进行中。Meanwhile, in Tianjin, local resident Cui Chuanying carefully stepped on scattered stones across a waterlogged road, a large suitcase in one hand while with the other he guided his 10-year-old son, as they prepared to leave their village battered by heavy rains with the help of rescuers.与此同时，在天津，当地居民崔传英小心翼翼地踩着路上散落的石块，他一手提着一个大行李箱，另一只手则牵着10岁的儿子，他们正借助救援人员的帮助，准备离开被暴雨冲毁的村庄。"We arrived at a speed skating training center in the city's Jizhou district on Friday. Heavy rainfall began on Sunday evening, washing away bridges and cutting off electricity, communication and water supplies," Cui said.崔先生说：“我们于周五抵达了该市吉州区的一个速滑训练中心。周日晚上开始下起了大雨，冲毁了桥梁，还导致电力、通讯和供水中断。”About 20 children, along with their coaches and parents, were trapped at the training facility, he said. "We felt hopeless in the beginning, as all we could do was wait. When we heard this (Tuesday) morning that People's Liberation Army rescuers were coming, we were overjoyed," he said. "Now we know we are safe in their hands."他说，大约20名儿童以及他们的教练和家长被困在训练设施内。“一开始我们感到很绝望，因为我们所能做的只有等待。当周二早上听说人民解放军的救援人员要前来时，我们欣喜若狂。”他说，“现在我们知道我们的生命已交到了他们的手中，我们是安全的了。”Cui and his son were among the more than 10,500 residents evacuated from Jizhou.崔先生和他的儿子是从吉州撤离的超过10500名居民中的一员。Lu Chenyang, a PLA soldier and a member of the rescue team sent to the district, said their main tasks were evacuating residents from flooded villages and clearing roads.陆晨阳是一名解放军战士，也是被派往该地区的救援队伍成员。他表示，他们的主要任务是将洪水淹没的村庄中的居民疏散出来，并清理道路。"The biggest challenge is the severe road damage. Some sections are completely destroyed, forcing us to rely on small paths, rural trails and temporary routes we cleared ourselves (to evacuate people)," Lu said.“最大的难题在于道路遭到严重损毁。有些路段已经完全坍塌，这迫使我们只能依靠小径、乡村小道以及我们自己开辟的临时通道（用于疏散人员）。”卢说道。"Since 8 am on Tuesday, our team of 100 soldiers has relocated nearly 600 stranded residents, and we will continue restoring village access," he added.“从周二早上8点开始，我们由100名士兵组成的救援队伍已经成功转移了近600名被困居民，并且我们还将继续修复村庄的通行道路。”他补充道。As the skies cleared around Tuesday afternoon, some residents of Putaoyuan village in Beijing's Miyun district returned home to start cleaning efforts.周二下午，天空逐渐放晴，北京密云区普桃园村的一些居民纷纷返回家中，开始进行清理工作。Zhang Changqin, a 65-year-old seafood vendor, put on his rain boots and navigated piles of debris to reach his damaged truck that was overturned by floodwaters. He said he planned to repair the vehicle himself instead of filing an insurance claim, so that he could resume business as soon as possible.65岁的海鲜商张昌琴穿上雨靴，穿过堆积如山的杂物，终于找到了被洪水冲翻的受损卡车。他说自己打算自己修理车辆，而不是申请保险赔偿，这样就能尽快恢复营业了。"I have experienced earthquakes and floods in the past, but never one this severe," Zhang said. "Nevertheless, I choose to keep a positive mind. Things may look bleak now, but once we rebuild our village, I believe it would become even more beautiful than before."“我过去经历过地震和洪水，但从未遇到过如此严重的灾害。”张说道，“不过，我还是选择保持乐观的心态。眼下情况或许很糟糕，但一旦我们重建了村庄，我相信它会比以前更加美丽。”disaster relief and rescue operationsn.救灾和救援行动/dɪˈzɑːstə(r) rɪˈliːf əndˈreskjuː ˌɒpəˈreɪʃnz/mass evacuationn.大规模疏散/mæs ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisaei discubuit. 37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrum unguenti : 38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. 39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis est mulier, quae tangit eum : quia peccatrix est. 40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic. 41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Duo debitores erant cuidam foeneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta. 42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit? 43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.Respondens Simon dixit : Aestimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit : Recte judicasti. 44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.Osculum mihi non dedisti : haec autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.Oleo caput meum non unxisti : haec autem unguento unxit pedes meos. 47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit. 48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?Et coeperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit? 50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.St Mary Magdalen, of Magdala in Galilee, was the sister of St Martha and St Lazarus. First a sinner, she was converted by our Lord, who raised Lazarus at her prayer. She stood at the Cross "till our Lord sent forth His Spirit", After His Victory, Christ showed Himself to Magdalen and made her his messenger to announce His Resurrection to the Apostles.
Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Everybody knows the world of technology is changing on a massive scale; in the federal community, there is a similar seismic change, but it has to do with policy, not graphics chips. In 2020, the Department of Defense aimed to ensure its suppliers had a reasonable level of cyber protection and released the first version of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). In subsequent years, CMMC became a “nice to have” rather than a mandate. COVID-19 drastically increased the number of remote users, federal technology was moving to the edge, and malicious actors continued to expand their attacks unremittingly. As a result of this “Perfect Storm,” regulators at the DoD have gotten serious about CMMC compliance. In today's interview, we sat down with two CMMC experts and discussed some of the challenges associated with completing the CMMC requirements. Fortreum's Ben Scudera mentions that as many as 300,000 companies may be looking at CMMC compliance. While individual companies can read the requirements, there can be misunderstandings. For example, if a company tries to define Controlled Unclassified Information, it may cast too wide a net or too narrow a net. If they are audited, the entire concept of scoping CUI can become a holdup for certification. Early versions of CMMC allowed companies to review their capabilities and report themselves. Today's CMMC transition is from self-attestation to external audits. These audits are challenging, with only 70 C3PAOs available to support 80,000 companies that require level 2 compliance. The process is complex, requiring detailed data scoping and significant preparation time. Companies must strike a balance between the costs and benefits of compliance, particularly for small businesses. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of CMMC for supply chain security and the potential for CMMC to evolve beyond federal contractin
The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips for Eating Well and Feeling Fabulous
Resistant starch acts more like fiber than starch—and may offer unique benefits for blood sugar, gut health, and more.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Fifteen years ago, Vivek Kundra began the “Cloud First” policy in the federal government. It took five years for people beginning to talk about “cloud native” applications. In other words, instead of a lift and shift to the cloud, developers could take advantage of the cloud's capabilities resulting in increased agility, scalability, and resilience. Well, here we are in 2025, and it sure looks like the early days of cloud computing. Lots of dazzling, but few people know how to leverage efficiency, speed, and personalization of AI. Today, we sat down with Sri Iyer, CTO and Co-founder of a company called KOVR.AI. Finally, he presents to listeners how AI can be applied to the tedious process of federal certification. We look at the complex process of CMMC. One aspect of CMMC is CUI. It does sound simple, but if a company over scopes or under scoped CUI it can make for difficulty in completing the certification. Further, assets are changing all the time. How can a company provide a detailed report of its assets at a specific moment in time? Next, the employees in a typical federal contractor are billing 40 hours a week. Is a business owner supposed to pull people off a revenue-generating position to complete CMMC tasks? Finally, what about the companies who supply the DIB? In a normal supply chain, more than just the company seeking CMMC is part of the puzzle. Listen to the interview to see how the innovation Sri Iyer can be applied to making the CMMC process faster and easier to document. Iyer emphasizes the importance of proper documentation and training for CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and offers practical advice for companies to prepare for CMMC, including creating an inventory of IT systems and vendors, and seeking expert help.
Can a coating system eliminate corrosion under insulation (CUI)? In this episode, Neil Wilds, Global Product Director of CUI and Testing, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine, discusses how thermal coating solutions can mitigate, and possibly eliminate, CUI in operations.
Craig Malloy is CEO of Arix Technologies, a Houston-based company specializing in robotic solutions for inspecting corrosion under insulation—or CUI—in industrial piping systems. While we often focus on aerial drones on this podcast, some environments call for a different approach. That's where Arix's flagship product, the VENUS robotic crawler, comes in. Designed to traverse both horizontal and vertical pipes, it collects high-resolution data without removing insulation or erecting scaffolding—dramatically reducing inspection time, cost, and risk. The technology has earned the trust of industry giants like Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron, proving its value in the field. Craig is a seasoned CEO with over 25 years of experience founding and scaling global tech companies, including ViaVideo, Lifesize, and Bloomfire. A pioneer in video conferencing, he led Lifesize's transformation into a global SaaS platform with 4K video and contact center solutions. Known for his customer-first mindset and servant leadership, Craig brings a unique blend of innovation, integrity, and vision to the world of robotics and industrial inspection. In this episode of the Drone Radio show, Craig talks about Arix's systems, their robotic technology used to detect corrosion under insulation and how it benefits the energy industry.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI spoke about gold this week to ABC Australia. This little interview may be of some interest. Here it is. Meanwhile …It's as though the whole tariff thing never happened, the way stock markets are rallying. I think it's seven green days in a row now.Everybody is getting very excited about a rare technical signal we got last Thursday - - there have only been 16 of them since the S&P500 was created in 1957, including the latest on April 24, 2025. But this signal has a 100% reliability record, and has been followed by average 6-month returns of 15% and a 12-month returns of 23%. That's a pretty stellar record. So I just wanted to offer my 2p.The indicator - the Zweig Breadth Thrust Indicator (ZBT) - was first observed in the 1986 Martin Zweig book, Winning on Wall Street (which I confess to not having read). It occurs when a market swings from an oversold to an overbought reading within 10 trading days.Eight of them have occurred since the book was published: in 2004, in 2009 (shortly after the March lows at 666), in 2011 after the taper tantrum, in 2013, 2015, 2018 and in 2023 twice. Now we have one coming off the “tariff tantrum”, as I've just dubbed it.However, before you go out and gamble your entire life savings, note that back in 2015 technical analyst Tom McClellan published a detailed study of ZBT signals, which went back much further than the 1957 formation of the S&P500 - all the way to 1928.During the bear market of the 1930s Great Depression, there were multiple occurrences of the signal - 14 of them - and it was horribly unreliable: 10 led to losses or negligible gains, 2 preceded strong rallies, and 2 were flat. It was useless, in other words.So, in short, it's been good since 1957, but was rubbish before. A bit like stereos.There are plenty of reasons to remain cautious. The high levels of volatility we are witnessing are consistent with a bear market not a bull market. There are also high levels of uncertainty: what is actually going to happen with tariffs? Nobody quite knows. I'm not sure even the President. Plus we are going into May, usually a weak time of year for the stock market. And it may be that the consequences of Trump's tariff talk have not yet been felt in the US on the ground. One argument is that there has been a huge drop off in container ships leaving China. A container would typically take 30 days to reach LA, and another 10-20 days to get to the major cities - Houston, Chicago, New York et al. So the drop-off in container ships leaving China after Liberation Day won't be felt until mid-May. If there is a pick up in shipments, that wouldn't be felt till another month after that. Some are saying supply shortages are coming to the US. Have a read of this and see what you think. Markets usually price this kind of stuff in, but you never know. Cui bono?Among the sectors that should benefit from Trump's America first policies are US domestic mining and manufacturing. Here the regulatory environment is changing fast. Trump signed an executive order on March 20 with the aim of accelerating production of critical minerals. Federal agencies have actually been mandated to look to the US for priority metals - copper, gold, nickel, uranium and so - when they previously looked abroad. We are already seeing faster permitting. I hear that formerly dormant projects are seeing activity for the first time in years. Emails are being answered promptly, applications are being processed, even in states like California. This new environment is positive for oil and gas producers, miners, explorers and developers in the US. The problem is that commodity prices have dropped off a cliff. There's always a catch.Even so, one company that should benefit from this new macro environment is this potential multi-bagger.On which, note I wanted to give you a related heads up.

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, cybersecurity expert Mark Jackolski, Director of Risk and Compliance at Show Proof, shares his journey from Long Island technician to national leader in cyber compliance. With a foundation in information systems from Stony Brook University, Mark discusses how his passion for technology evolved into a career focused on helping organizations meet rising cybersecurity standards. The heart of the conversation is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a framework initiated by the Department of Defense to ensure that contractors protect controlled unclassified information. Mark explains that while compliance with NIST 800-171 has been required since 2017, CMMC introduces verification—organizations must now demonstrate their cybersecurity posture through third-party assessments to remain eligible for federal contracts. Beyond meeting DoD requirements, Mark describes how CMMC builds reputational credibility, calling it “the currency of trust.” He emphasizes the strategic advantage of showing compliance through a recognized badge rather than repeated explanations, which streamlines the contracting process and establishes confidence with partners and clients. When asked how organizations should begin preparing, Mark advises starting with people: appointing a program leader, engaging executive buy-in, and mapping where sensitive data flows. He warns against relying on underqualified partners and stresses the importance of assessing technical, administrative, and physical requirements early. Missteps—like poor documentation or unclear scoping—can lead to wasted time and resources. Finally, Mark highlights the growing relevance of CMMC beyond the DoD. New regulations aim to standardize data protection across all federal agencies, meaning businesses even tangentially involved in government work may soon fall under its scope. As CMMC requirements become embedded in contracts by summer 2025, organizations that prepare now will gain a competitive edge in the expanding defense and government market. 5 Key Points CMMC Explained: The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification verifies that organizations working with the Department of Defense meet NIST 800-171 cybersecurity standards. Strategic Advantage: Earning CMMC builds trust and provides a significant edge in securing government contracts by signaling a strong cybersecurity posture. Preparation Starts with People: A successful CMMC journey begins by appointing accountable personnel, securing executive alignment, and clearly mapping the flow of controlled unclassified information (CUI). Pitfalls and Guidance: Common mistakes include working with unqualified providers and underestimating documentation requirements. Mark recommends finding certified experts through the Cyber AB marketplace. Growing Scope: CMMC will expand beyond the DoD to other government agencies, making early adoption a strategic move even for subcontractors or non-defense contractors. 5 Key Quotes “It's the currency of trust.” – Mark on how CMMC serves as a reputation badge in the defense industry. “Start by appointing somebody to oversee the entire process.” – On the critical role of leadership in compliance efforts. “Documentation is key—not just technical controls, but the processes and people behind them.” “If you're going to develop a policy or some other procedure, there has to be buy-in from the organization.” “CMMC started with the DoD, but it's going to expand to other government agencies. This is just the beginning.” About Our Guest Mark Jackolski is a creative and team-oriented cybersecurity professional with a deep-seated passion for technology. He specializes in assisting small to medium-sized businesses in enhancing their security posture and achieving compliance with industry standards. With a persistent drive to deliver exceptional results, Mark offers strategic virtual Chief Information...

If Newsom signed the bill, illegal aliens would be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan. Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property. After the California Senate advanced the bill allowing illegal aliens to apply for the state's first-time homebuyer's program, the California Department of Finance confirmed the program has no money to give. Governor Newsom vetoed the bill because of a lack of funds. “I am returning Assembly Bill 1840 without my signature,” Newsom wrote in his veto message to the members of the California State Assembly. “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively,” he said. “For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill,” Newsom wrote.
