Voluntourism is the practice of volunteering one's labour to a charitable cause in a developing country, in return for a soul-cleansing, perspective-changing, CV-bolstering experience. Perhaps a bit cynical? But with good reason. Whilst it could be a mutually beneficial redistribution of wealth from the developed world to the developing, voluntourism harbours a dark and exploitative underworld. In 2021, NPR.org reported that the industry was worth an estimated $3 billion per year, according to University of Strathclyde lecturer Konstantinos Tomazos. What is voluntourism? Can it really be that bad? Is voluntourism at all beneficial? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

L'algoritmo può essere un capo migliore di un essere umano? Oggi tre aziende italiane su quattro utilizzano già sistemi di gestione algoritmica per assegnare compiti, monitorare i dipendenti, valutare le prestazioni e organizzare il lavoro. Non si tratta solo di colossi come Amazon, Uber o Deliveroo: l'algoritmo è ormai entrato in moltissime aziende, spesso senza che i lavoratori ne siano pienamente consapevoli. Ma è davvero un problema? Non necessariamente. In questo episodio analizziamo come funziona la gestione algoritmica del lavoro, quali vantaggi può offrire rispetto ai manager umani e quali rischi comporta quando le decisioni vengono prese da sistemi opachi e difficili da contestare. Parleremo dei dati dell'OCSE, della diffusione dell'intelligenza artificiale nelle aziende, degli algoritmi che valutano i lavoratori e delle nuove regole europee pensate per garantire trasparenza e tutela dei diritti.

This conversation is about how the demands on data centers are changing and what that means for the systems that support them. As AI and high performance computing continue to scale, cooling is no longer a background function. It is central to whether these environments operate efficiently and reliably. Liquid cooling is becoming more common because it can handle the heat loads that air cooling cannot. But as systems move in that direction, the margin for error becomes much smaller. These are precision environments. Everything has to work as expected, and small issues can have larger consequences than people anticipate. Valves are a good example of something that is often overlooked but plays a critical role. They control flow, manage pressure, and help protect the integrity of the system. If they are not selected correctly, they can introduce problems that are difficult to detect early but show up later as inefficiencies or risk. One of the biggest points Eddie will make is that these systems depend on exact specifications. Engineers are not looking for something that is close. They need a valve that matches the system requirements exactly, whether that is flow performance, pressure characteristics, materials, connections, or physical dimensions. If something does not match, it can create integration issues, reduce efficiency, or delay the project. At the same time, the pace of data center construction is accelerating. Projects are moving quickly, and delays are not easily absorbed. That means availability and lead time are part of the technical decision, not just an operational detail. If the right solution is not available when it is needed, it creates risk for the entire build. This creates a real challenge for engineers, buyers, and OEMs. They need highly specific solutions, but they also need them delivered quickly and consistently. It is not enough to have a product that performs. The supplier has to be able to meet the spec, support the application, and deliver on time. Another important part of the conversation is how performance is evaluated. Published specifications do not always reflect real operating conditions. Systems do not run at a single point. They run across a range of flows and conditions. That is where the idea of usable Cv becomes important. It reflects how the valve actually performs in the system, not just how it performs in an ideal scenario. There is also growing awareness around hidden inefficiencies. Pressure drop, turbulence, and potential leak paths can all impact system performance. In high-density environments, these factors can reduce cooling effectiveness, increase energy usage, and introduce long-term reliability concerns. What this all points to is a shift in how components are selected. Valve selection is not a secondary decision. It is part of the overall system strategy. Getting it right helps protect uptime, maintain efficiency, and keep projects on track. Getting it wrong can introduce risks that are difficult and expensive to correct later. The goal of the conversation is to give people a clearer understanding of what matters most as they design and support modern cooling systems. It is about making better decisions upfront so systems perform the way they are intended to over time.

Summary Most recruitment business owners stop marketing over the summer and restart in September. That restart carries a hidden cost: lower reach, a colder audience and a first month back spent recovering ground you already owned. Marketers and BD professionals call it the reset tax. This post sets out seven marketing tasks for the summer. They are not designed to fill your quiet weeks with busywork. They are designed to build a marketing system that keeps running when you are heads down billing, so your autumn pipeline is not left to chance. Key Takeaways The reset tax is the cost of stopping and restarting your marketing. Most owners pay it twice a year, over the summer and at Christmas. Review the first half and identify what compounded, rather than what gave you a one off hit. Work your database while clients and candidates have the headspace to think. Build your pipeline sixty days ahead. October fees are earned in July and August. Get twelve weeks of content written and scheduled before your busy quarter arrives. Fix the shop front. People check your website and LinkedIn profile long before they contact you. Be honest about whether you are doing no marketing, too little marketing, or the wrong marketing. The fix is different for each. Choose the system over the sprint. Small consistent levers beat bursts of effort every time. What happened to your marketing last August? Not what you meant to do. What actually got sent, posted, written and published. For a lot of recruitment business owners, the honest answer is not very much. Clients go quiet. Candidates are away. The inbox slows. And the marketing, which was already the first thing to get dropped when you were busy, gets dropped again. Then September arrives, everyone comes back, and you look at a thin pipeline and think, right, time to get back out there. So you start again. And starting again is the expensive bit. The Reset Tax Nobody Budgets For There is a cost to stopping and restarting your marketing, and it never appears on a spreadsheet. Marketers and BD professionals call it the reset tax. You stop posting for six weeks. Your reach drops, so when you return you are seen by fewer people than before you left. The warm audience you built has cooled. The people who were starting to recognise your name have forgotten it. You spend your first month back buying your way to where you already were. Most recruitment business owners pay this tax twice a year. Once over the summer. Once at Christmas. This is not an argument for working through August. It is an argument for using the summer differently. The quiet weeks are not the time to do more marketing. They are the time to build the thing that means your marketing does not stop when you do. Why a To Do List Is Not Enough A list of tasks reinforces the behaviour that keeps recruitment companies stuck. It suggests marketing is a pile of jobs you get to when there is a gap. After eighteen years working with recruitment and search business owners, I can tell you this is rarely a knowledge problem. You know you should be visible. You know you should be talking to your database. It is an implementation problem. The gap between knowing and doing is where growth disappears. So here are seven tasks, and every one of them is chosen because it closes that gap rather than adding to your September workload. 1.Review the First Half Honestly We are past the halfway point, so look back at January to June and work out what genuinely moved the needle. Use Stop, Start, Continue if it helps. What will you stop, what will you start, what is working that you should keep doing? Then add the question that matters most: what compounded? Some marketing gives you a hit and then nothing. A one off campaign. A burst of posts. Other marketing builds on itself: the content that keeps getting found, the relationships that keep returning, the list that grows whether you are watching it or not. Separate the two, then be ruthless about where your time goes in the second half. 2.Work Your Database While People Have Headspace There is gold at your feet. In your CRM are clients you have not spoken to in eighteen months, candidates you placed three years ago who are now hiring managers, and enquiries that never got a follow up. Summer is one of the few points in the year when those people have room to think. They are reflecting on the year. They are wondering whether they want another one like it. That is the moment to land in their inbox with something useful. A market update. A career conversation. A question about autumn hiring plans. The recruiters with the strongest Septembers are the ones who had those conversations in July. 3.Build Your Sixty Day Pipeline Now The work you do today does not pay you today. It pays you in around sixty days. The conversation you have this week becomes next month's brief and the placement after that. The fees you bank in October were not earned in October. They were earned in July and August by someone who kept going. So a thin pipeline in September is not a September problem. It is a summer problem you are only finding out about late. Work backwards. Decide what you want to be billing in the final quarter, count back sixty days, and ask what has to be happening now for that to be true. 4.Get Ahead on Your Content This is the task that buys back your autumn. Reach the end of August with twelve weeks of content written and scheduled, and your busiest quarter no longer knocks your marketing over. It simply continues without you. Do not invent topics from scratch. Go and look at what has already worked. Your website analytics will show you which pages people read. LinkedIn will show you which posts landed. Your client calls will tell you which questions keep coming up. The market tells you what it wants. Your job is to listen, then say more about it. 5.Sort Out the Shop Front A beauty salon dresses the window before the season, not during it. Your website and LinkedIn profile are your shop front, and for most recruitment companies they are costing money. People check you out long before they contact you. Look at yours the way a stranger would. Does your website say who you help, or only what you do? Is there a case study or testimonial visible within ten seconds? Is there any reason for a visitor to give you their email address? Does your LinkedIn profile read like a CV, or like a page written for the people you want to attract? None of these are big jobs. All of them are the sort of thing that never gets done because it is not urgent. 6.Be Honest About What You Are Really Doing When I talk to recruitment business owners about their marketing, I hear three answers. The first, and it is more common than people admit, is that they are not doing any marketing at all. None. Too busy, or referrals have always been enough. It simply is not happening. The second is that they are doing some, but nowhere near enough of it, and never for long enough to work. A few posts. An email that went out once. It stops before it has a chance to build. The third is that they are busy doing the wrong things. Activity that feels like marketing and produces nothing. Posting jobs and calling it content. Setting up a channel their market never looks at. Before you add anything to your list, be honest about which of the three you are. The fix is different for each. If you are doing nothing, start, and start small enough that you will keep going. If you are doing too little, commit to something you can sustain when the busy weeks arrive. And if you are doing the wrong things, stop them. Stopping is allowed. Consistency in one or two things that work will always beat scattered effort across six that do not. 7. Choose the System First, Not the Sprint Every task above fails if you treat it as a burst of effort. Review the year, blast the database, write some content, tidy the website, feel productive, then run out of road in week three when a big brief lands. What works instead is small, consistent levers pulled repeatedly, whether you feel like it or not. It is deeply unglamorous and it is the whole game. The owners who grow are not the ones with the best ideas. They are the ones with something in place that keeps the marketing moving while they are heads down billing. That is a system. Building one is the best possible use of your summer. How We Can Help If you are reading this thinking, I know all of this and I still do not do it, that is the most normal thing in the world. It is the Implementation Gap, and it is not a character flaw. It is what we have spent this year designing for. Sharon and I have created The Catalyst System, and it sits at the heart of Superfast Circle. It is there for exactly the problem described in this post: marketing that runs as a system rather than something you get to when you remember. If you would like a look at how it works inside Superfast Circle, book a call and we will walk you through it. www.superfastrecruitment.co.uk/call Thanks Denise The post Don’t Pay The Reset Tax With These 7 Marketing Tasks for Your Summer appeared first on Superfast Recruitment.

Meet Neha Kumar, Brand and Design Lead at Queensland Rugby Union (Queensland Reds).Neha's career started out in retail and moved into marketing before she landed her first full-time role as social media lead at GIVIT, a Brisbane-based not-for-profit, where she taught herself graphic design, photography and videography on the job and even got to create content for a royal visit from Queen Camilla.Around the same time, she started WATCHHERFOOTY, a passion project covering the NRLW that's now grown to 22,000+ followers and put her on TV, on radio, and on The Female Athlete Project stage. That page changed everything. It sharpened what she wanted, and when a role opened at the Reds, she backed herself despite never formally studying design and getting knocked back in other roles. She's since gone from Design & Communications Coordinator to Brand and Design Lead, run game-day production at Suncorp, MC'd in front of 30,000 people, toured Fiji with the men's team, and been named #12 on Ministry for Sport's Young Guns Under 30.In this episode, Neha shares how she turned a passion project into a role at the Queensland Reds, why backing yourself beats waiting until your CV feels "ready," and the pinch-me Fiji moment she never thought she'd get.We cover:(03:01) - Interview begins(05:13) - Quick Fire Questions(08:59) - Neha's journey to working in sport and how WatchHerFooty came to life(13:21) - How Neha balances time between her full-time role and WatchHerFooty(16:00) - Collaborations Neha has worked on through WatchHerFooty(18:17) - What is WatchHerFooty's most viral video(20:34) - Neha's experience with The Daily Aus x Nike Mentorship program(24:02) - Neha's work with GIVIT(30:44) - Neha's transferable skills helped land her role with the Queensland Reds(32:49) - How Neha's role has evolved since starting at the Reds(38:30) - Neha's experience MCing a game day(40:34) - Neha's experience on the international trip with the Queensland Reds to Fiji(43:57) - Experience at Suncorp Stadium during the British & Irish Lions Tour(45:28) - Neha on making the 'Young Guns under 30' List(46:48) - Challenges in entering the sports industry(48:33) - How Neha decided what career path to take when she felt lost for direction(50:03) - What helped Neha stand out when she landed her role at the Qld Reds(51:38) - Impact of mentors on Neha's career(53:26) - How to land a job in sport media in the next 30 days(57:03) - Biggest Pinch Me moment working in sport(58:08) - What life would look like if not for a career in sport(59:45) - What is a brand and sports partnership you'd like to see in the future(01:00:55) - Neha's question for next guestIf you liked this ep, give these a go next:#286: Inside the GWS Giants Social Media strategy with Jacob Gaynor#347: Sport Marketing & Communications - How to work in AFL, NBA and Seven Sport with Anthony Alsop#354: How building Kanga TV led to a PR & Comms job in sport, with Marnie Cohen (TGI Sport)Want a job in sport?

How many times have you noticed an expert witness for deposition, only to be told you've got to pay their fee in advance, failing which, they say, they aren't coming. As Jim Garrity explains, it doesn't have to be that way. Listen in and learn why prepayment isn't required and how to properly avoid advance payment. After all, those prepayment demands are often excessive, don't explain how the fee was determined, and of course don't guarantee the expert will even qualify as such, much less offer admissible testimony. And we've got a wealth of research for you in the show notes.SHOW NOTESEvans v. Home Depot USA, Inc., Case no. 2:25-CV-451-SPC-KRH, 2026 WL 1837154 (M. D. Florida June 25, 2026) (plaintiff's treating doctor, a non-retained expert, was set for one hour deposition, and demanded prepayment of $3,000 for the deposition; held, prepayment is generally not required, “so lack of prepaid fees would not justify refusing to attend the deposition after proper service of a valid subpoena;” further outlining the process to address a treating physician's potential nonappearance at a deposition, asking whether the deposition was subject to the courts subpoena power, and if so, whether the defendant had issued and served the subpoena, noting that the court then need not intervene until (a) the physician seeks to quash the subpoena or fails to appear, and (b) the defendant moves to hold him in contempt for failing to appear to deposition)Johnson v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., No. CV 07-1874FBJO, 2008 WL 1995117, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2008) (“The pertinent rule thus teaches that once Dr. Seldes has actually “spent” time responding to Spirit's questions at the deposition, he may then bill Spirit for a “reasonable” fee for that amount of “time.” Dr. Seldes therefore may not insist on advance payment, and may not set a flat fee before he knows what he will be called upon to do; he may instead charge only a reasonable hourly fee. I will not predict in advance what reasonable hourly fee Dr. Seldes may choose to request, but should a dispute arise, I will of course defer to the persuasive authority of cases such as the Garnier decision cited above and the precedent on which it in turn relied. See id. at *3-*4 (describing a range of reasonable hourly rates below $500))Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06-4859 JFB ETB, 2011 WL 3511071, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (“The rule and the case law makes it clear that the parties seeking court intervention to determine a reasonable fee for an expert deposition should do so retrospectively—that is, after the deposition has taken place. The rule clearly contemplates that a court order will be issued subsequent to the deposition, as it requires a court to order payment of a “reasonable fee for time spent in responding to discovery”)Tennant v. Handi-House Mfg. Co., Case No. 3:16-cv-1276-J-25MCR, 2017 WL 11105252 (M. D. Fla. Nov. 20, 2017) (Defendant moved for, among other things, order deferring payment for deposition of plaintiff's treating physician, who canceled the deposition because he did not receive the $3,300 payment he demanded for his two-hour deposition; held, Defendant's request to defer deposition fees of the treating physician granted, with the court “finding that prepayment of expert witness deposition fees is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;” noting that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4)(E) “does not require the prepayment of expert deposition fees; further noting that the parties agreed that the issues presented are governed by the expert fee rules, implying that a treating physician may qualify as an expert under the circumstances); Court also noted that Fed. R. Civ.

Florida April 30, 2013) (court granted Defendant's Motion to Compel Deposition Testimony of Dennis James, an expert, finding “that prepayment of expert witness fees, including Mr. James' expert witness in this action, is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court noted that while Rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) says that in less manifest injustice would result, the court must require that a party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for “time spent” [emphasis added], the Advisory Committee Notes (1970 Amendment) to Rule 26(b)(4) authorize a court to require the payment of fees and expenses as a condition of discovery, and also to delay the order until after discovery is completed. Thus, the court ordered the deposition to proceed but set a payment deadline for his fees within 50 days of the date of his deposition. The court emphasized that - while rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) “is silent as to exactly when an expert will be paid after responding to discovery, the Court finds that a degree of reasonableness is inherent in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the circumstances of this case, a payment deadline of 50 days was reasonable.)Harris v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 226 F.R.D. 675, 676–77 (S.D.

To the contrary, “[u]nlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert's deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance… Because there is no rule allowing a party to terminate a deposition for the failure to pay opposing expert witness fees in advance, Plaintiff's counsel was wrong in doing so in the instant case)Conte v.

"We're the supermarket of data. If you want a biscuit, you buy the milk - you don't need to be an expert in cows." That's how Franck Mouriaux frames one of the most visual ideas in this conversation, recorded live amid the noise of Eurosatory in Paris, where Torsten Kriening steps into the UAE Pavilion to sit down with the acting CEO of FADA, an EDGE company.Mouriaux is a space engineer whose CV reads like a tour of modern spaceflight - Sentinel-1, Galileo, EarthCARE, OneWeb, and Rocket Lab - before EDGE and the UAE offered him a new challenge: building a sovereign, industrial-scale space company from a near-standing start. In barely two years, FADA has set out to move the UAE from buying components to designing its own systems, and from government-funded activity to a genuine, commercially viable business. As Mouriaux explains, sovereignty doesn't mean doing everything yourself - it means knowing what's critical enough to keep in your own hands, and leveraging a surprisingly rich Emirati ecosystem for the rest.At the heart of the discussion is the SIRB constellation, and FADA's deliberate bet on synthetic aperture radar over the optical everyone else is chasing. Mouriaux makes a compelling case: radar sees day and night, through cloud, anywhere on the globe - and during the difficult months earlier this year, when clouds rendered most optical imagery useless, it was radar the armed forces relied on. He talks candidly about the dual-use civilian and defence applications, the transfer-of-knowledge model behind the first three satellites, partnerships with MetaSensing and ST Engineering, and a first launch targeted for early 2028.But the most forward-looking thread is Zenith - FADA's multi-constellation orchestration system, already live and optimising tasking across some 300 commercial satellites from eight to ten providers, with FADA's own satellites to come. It's the "supermarket" made real: one unified format, whoever the data comes from. Mouriaux closes on the thing you can't buy - people - and FADA's work embedding UAE nationals and running the Space Academy to build the brains long before the hardware.Visionary, pragmatic, and full of momentum.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (07):O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro classificou o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) como o “partido das taxas”. Flávio está nos Estados Unidos, segundo ele, para defender os brasileiros de uma possível taxação do governo americano. O Ministério das Relações Exteriores, sob o comando de Mauro Vieira, evitou detalhar a tese enviada à Câmara dos Deputados sobre o risco de os Estados Unidos realizarem ações militares na América do Sul contra facções do crime organizado. A hipótese foi levantada após o governo brasileiro alegar que não foi comunicado sobre a classificação do PCC e do CV como terroristas. O Departamento de Estados dos EUA negou a possibilidade. O pré-candidato do União Brasil ao Senado pelo Rio de Janeiro, Márcio Canella, foi preso nesta terça-feira (07) após a Polícia Federal (PF) encontrar um fuzil em seu carro, durante cumprimento de mandado de busca e apreensão expedido na 6ª fase da Operação Unha e Carne. Canella era investigado pela corporação por participar de um esquema de lavagem de dinheiro. As ex-ministras Marina Silva (Rede) e Simone Tebet (PSB) aparecem na frente em uma pesquisa de intenção de votos do Datafolha para o Senado por São Paulo, divulgada nesta terça-feira (07). Marina lidera com 18%, enquanto Tebet aparece em segundo, com 16%. Ricardo Salles (Novo), com 13%, e André do Prado (PL), com (11%), aparecem na sequência.

Por outro lado, Alcolumbre afirmou que não irá tolerar ameaças. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.
Confira no Morning Show desta quarta-feira (08): A Polícia Federal realizou um mandado de busca e apreensão na casa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) por ordem do ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Alexandre de Moraes. O motivo da busca foi a falta de informação sobre o paradeiro de armas e munições que não foram entregues à PF. Nada foi encontrado na residência do ex-presidente, porém, uma espingarda declarada ainda não foi entregue às autoridades. O deputado federal Otoni de Paula (PSD), ex-aliado de do grupo político bolsonarista, afirmou em discurso na Câmara dos Deputados que os membros do Partido Liberal são “uma cambada de ladrões” e acusou o partido de roubar os aposentados do estado do Rio de Janeiro através do escândalo do Banco Master. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), afirmou na audiência do Escritório do Representante Comercial dos Estados Unidos (USTR), que este é “o pior momento” para aplicação de tarifas contra o Brasil, que está prestes a entrar em um período eleitoral. Segundo Flávio, um novo tarifaço favoreceria uma possível reeleição de Lula. O governo brasileiro repudiou as falas do senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), na audiência do Escritório do Representante Comercial dos Estados Unidos (USTR), que discute novas tarifas de 25% em produtos do Brasil. Em nota, o Palácio do Planalto afirmou: “divergir é legítimo. Convocar uma potência estrangeira a pressionar o próprio país, é traição à Pátria”. O Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo está implantando varas especializadas no combate ao crime organizado no estado. Entre as novas varas específicas criadas estão as de: crimes tributários, organização criminosa e a de lavagem de bens. A cerimônia contou com a presença do presidente do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, ministro Edson Fachin. A Polícia Federal está realizando na manhã desta quarta-feira (08), operações em 15 estados brasileiros contra a lavagem de dinheiro do crime organizado. Foram cumpridos 93 mandados de prisão e 180 de busca e apreensão. O governo americano classificou como “absurda” a hipótese de operações militares em solo brasileiro por conta da classificação de facções criminosas como CV e PCC como grupos terroristas. Segundo os EUA, serão tomadas medidas contra esses grupos apenas em seu próprio território, onde já atuam. A resposta veio após manifestação do ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira. A Justiça brasileira mandou soltar uma mulher acusada de ligação com o Primeiro Comando da Capital. A mulher, que estava em prisão temporária de no máximo cinco dias, sofre sanções do governo americano, como bloqueio em contas. A vereadora Deza Guerreiro (PP) de Novo Hamburgo, no Rio Grande do Sul, recebeu uma caixa em seu gabinete com um cachorro morto. A parlamentar tem como uma de suas principais bandeiras a defesa da causa animal e interpretou o caso como uma ameaça. O deputado federal Zé Trovão (PL) participou de um podcast em que se discutia sobre os atos de 8 de janeiro e afirmou que o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) teve uma atitude “covarde” ao ficar em silêncio após a derrota em 2022 e que o ex-presidente “errou” ao não mandar seus apoiadores para casa após perder as eleições “gerando a prisão de pessoas inocentes”. A mais recente pesquisa DataFolha mostra que dentre os eleitores do presidente Lula, 24% se consideram de direita, enquanto entre os eleitores de Flávio Bolsonaro, 18% se consideram de esquerda. Segundo o especialista em comunicação Samer Agi, o cenário mostra que a eleição de outubro deve ser decidida pela rejeição, e não pela aprovação dos candidatos majoritários.

¿Es posible cumplir el sueño de tener un motor V12, cientos de caballos de potencia y un lujo digno de un jefe de estado por el precio de un utilitario de segunda mano? En este vídeo nos sumergimos en la época dorada de las grandes berlinas de los años noventa para analizar a fondo tres leyendas que han perdido mucho valor en el mercado, pero absolutamente nada de su pedigrí: el BMW Serie 7, el Jaguar XJ12 y el Mercedes-Benz Clase S. A mediados de los ochenta y durante toda la década de los noventa, el mundo del automóvil vivió una contienda tecnológica fascinante. En las altas esferas de las marcas premium decidieron que para buscar la excelencia absoluta un motor V8 ya no era suficiente. Hacía falta más refinamiento, más suavidad y el equilibrio perfecto que solo otorgan doce cilindros en V. Esta feroz rivalidad nos dejó escaparates tecnológicos impresionantes que hoy, por caprichos de la depreciación, se pueden encontrar por una fracción de su valor original. Pero atención: aunque el precio de compra sea asequible, el mantenimiento de sus complejas mecánicas sigue siendo el de un buque insignia. BMW Serie 7 (E38) 750i: El atleta con traje a medida Lanzado al mercado en 1994, el E38 luce unas proporciones perfectas. Su estampa era tan elegante que fue el coche elegido para el James Bond de Pierce Brosnan en "El mañana nunca muere" y fue el primer automóvil europeo en ofrecer navegación GPS integrada de fábrica. Bajo el capó esconde el motor M73 de 5.4 litros y 326 CV, una mecánica sedosa con soluciones increíbles, como sus bielas de fractura, partidas mediante un impacto hidráulico controlado para lograr un encaje milimétrico alrededor del cigüeñal. En marcha es, con diferencia, la berlina que más invita a ser conducida por el propio dueño gracias a una dirección precisa y un chasis que esconde de forma magistral sus más de dos toneladas. Puntos débiles a revisar: Pérdida de píxeles en las pantallas del habitáculo, fugas de aceite en las juntas de las tapas de balancines, fatiga en el vaso de expansión de plástico del sistema de refrigeración y desgaste en los silentblocks de la suspensión delantera debido al peso del motor. Jaguar XJ12 (X305): El aristócrata de salón inglés En 1994, Jaguar recuperó sus líneas curvas clásicas y los cuatro faros redondos con la generación X300. La exclusiva versión de doce cilindros recibió el código X305. Este V12 de 6 litros y 318 CV es la evolución final de la arquitectura que propulsó al icónico E-Type y que ganó en Le Mans. El habitáculo es una experiencia sensorial pura que huele a cuero Connolly auténtico y madera de nogal, ofreciendo un rodar celestial y una ausencia de vibraciones casi irreal. Puntos débiles a revisar: Posibles focos de corrosión en pasos de rueda y bajos, un vano motor extremadamente congestionado que complica cualquier mantenimiento, degradación de las bobinas de encendido por el calor acumulado y la absoluta necesidad de mantener el sistema de refrigeración al día para no deformar las culatas de aluminio. Mercedes-Benz Clase S (W140) S600: El acorazado indestructible El W140 es un vehículo gigante, imponente y brutalista. Mercedes-Benz retrasó años su desarrollo e invirtió miles de millones de marcos para asegurarse de crear, de forma indiscutible, el mejor automóvil del mundo y humillar a BMW. Su majestuoso motor V12 de 6 litros llegó a declarar hasta 408 CV. Conducir este coche es como viajar en una cápsula de aislamiento absoluto gracias a sus pesadísimos cristales de doble hoja y a sistemas como el cierre asistido neumático de las puertas. Un auténtico búnker diseñado para devorar kilómetros en autopista. Puntos débiles a revisar: El célebre cableado ecológico cuyo aislante se deshace con los años, fallos en el evaporador del climatizador (que exige desmontar todo el salpicadero para cambiarlo), desgaste prematuro de frenos y rótulas por su masa descomunal, y fugas en la laberíntica red de tubos de vacío del sistema neumático. Conclusión Los motores V12 de los años noventa representan la cúspide romántica de la ingeniería, una era irrepetible donde las marcas no escatimaban en gastos para demostrar su supremacía tecnológica. Hoy su adquisición es asequible, pero demandan compradores muy conscientes del coste de su mantenimiento.

What happens when you strip away the assumption that success is measured solely by profit? In this deeply authentic conversation, Andy Lopata is joined by Paul Hargreaves to explore how commercial businesses can thrive by putting people and the planet at the centre of their operations. Paul opens up about his non-traditional path to business—from spending over a decade doing inner-city charity work in Deptford, South London, to starting Cotswold Fayre from the back of his car. He shares the painful reality of a massive warehouse management system failure in 2014 that nearly collapsed the business, explaining why the resulting team restructuring was a vital "pruning process" that paved the way for B Corp certification. Andy and Paul discuss the practicalities of leading with values, why Cotswold Fayre uses "heart and soul" questions to recruit for character over skills, the underutilised power of intuition in decision-making, and how Paul addresses executive loneliness. Finally, Paul defines "The Fourth Bottom Line," explaining why global change must start with the personal, internal transformation of the leader. Why might a catastrophic IT failure be the best thing that ever happens to your company culture? Discover how a business crisis can act as a natural filter, stripping away toxic patterns and misaligned team members. What are "heart and soul" questions, and how can they revolutionise your hiring process? Explore how to move past CV skills and interview candidates purely for character, deep motivation, and cultural fit. Is your workplace community crossing the line from supportive to destructive? Learn the subtle difference between healthy team friendships and negative, external relationships that can actively drag an organisation down. What is "The Fourth Bottom Line"? Find out why trying to solve massive global problems like climate change will fail unless leaders undergo a profound personal and internal transformation first.

The job market is broken. Here are all the things that broke it.From the post-Covid wage squeeze and AI replacing entry-level workers to the white collar recession nobody officially declared, LinkedIn's 11,000 applications per minute, and the applicant tracking systems quietly binning your CV before a human ever reads it, this is the complete history of why nobody can find a job.We cover graduate unemployment, youth unemployment hitting its highest level since 2015, ghost jobs, the Great Resignation, and which sectors are actually hiring right now.

How to get a job in a declining market is becoming one of the biggest questions facing workers in Britain, especially as AI skills, digital literacy and retraining move rapidly from “useful extra” to “apparently essential by next Tuesday.” In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the UK jobs market, the skills employers are now demanding, and whether ordinary applicants are being asked to become data analysts, project managers, cyber-security experts and emotionally intelligent machine-whisperers all at once.Reed, the major UK recruitment agency, says the most valuable skills for jobseekers now include artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, data analysis, digital marketing, project management, cloud computing, green skills, leadership and human resources. Which is quite a list. Once upon a time, being reliable, presentable and able to answer the telephone without causing a constitutional incident was considered a decent start.But the labour market is getting tighter. UK vacancies have fallen, unemployment has risen, and there are now more jobseekers competing for each available role. Employers can afford to be choosier, while applicants are increasingly expected to prove not only what they know, but how quickly they can learn whatever replaced it last week.We ask what AI skills for jobs really means. Is it enough to know how to use ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or other generative AI tools? Or do employers want something deeper: prompt writing, data literacy, ethical judgement, fact-checking, automation and the ability to spot when the machine has produced polished nonsense?We also look at the enduring value of human skills. Communication. Reliability. Creativity. Empathy. Leadership. Judgement. The things that cannot simply be downloaded in an afternoon, though no doubt someone is preparing a webinar.So, what should you learn to improve your employment prospects? Should schools, colleges and employers provide more retraining? Are older workers being left behind? And is AI creating new opportunities, or quietly removing the first rung from the career ladder?Mark and Pete discuss how to find work in a difficult job market, the best skills to learn in 2026, AI and employment, CV skills, career changes, job applications, retraining and how to remain usefully human while the machines become increasingly pleased with themselves.
Lose your job at 25 and someone will help you find another. Lose it at 55 and the talk quietly turns to how you might wind down towards retirement.Policymakers tend to assume job search training works for the young and not the old, so they rarely spend money trying. Bas van der Klaauw (Tinbergen Institute) thinks they got that wrong.In this week's VoxTalks Economics, he tells Tim Phillips about a Dutch experiment that put older unemployed workers through an intensive programme built on one idea: teach people over 50 to find work the way younger workers already do, by working their social network.Participants left unemployment faster, there was a 10% increase in job finding, and the savings in benefits more than covered the cost. The catch: it helped the better educated most and was tested in a recession. Will it work just as well in today's labour market, where even the young and well-educated are struggling to find good jobs?The research behind this episode:de Groot, Nynke, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. "A Randomized Experiment on Improving Job Search Skills of Older Unemployed Workers." CEPR Discussion Paper 21464. (Gated)To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. “Helping the over-50s find work.” VoxTalks Economics (podcast). About the guestBas van der Klaauw is professor of economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and director of the Tinbergen Institute. An applied microeconometrician, he uses causal methods to study labour markets, education and health, and is a research fellow of CEPR and IZA. His work on unemployment insurance, active labour market programmes and job search includes several field experiments run with the Dutch benefits administration.The paper is co-authored with Nynke de Groot, an economist at the National Health Care Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland) who took her PhD at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her earlier work with van der Klaauw includes a study of how cutting the unemployment insurance entitlement period affects job finding.Research and concepts discussed in this episodeOlder workers and long-term unemployment. Older unemployed workers tend to have job finding rates around half those of younger workers, and during the recession the study covers, more than half of older job seekers risked becoming long-term unemployed. Van der Klaauw attributes the gap to a combination of factors rather than any single cause: more generous and longer benefit entitlements that weaken the incentive to take a lower-paid job quickly, and employers who favour younger hires expected to grow with the firm over a longer horizon.STEP (Successfully to Employment Program). A Dutch job search assistance programme developed during the post-2008 recession for unemployed workers aged 50 and above who had not found work within a few months of claiming unemployment insurance. It ran to 10 group sessions of around four hours each plus two individual meetings, covering interview practice, CV writing and social media, with a particular emphasis on activating the participant's social network. Participants were encouraged to have at least one conversation a week with a contact about possible work. The programme cost roughly 470 euros per participant.The experiment. The study covers everyone aged 50 to 63 who entered unemployment insurance in the Netherlands between November 2014 and July 2015 and remained unemployed for three months, about 50,000 people. Assignment to treatment or control was based on the last digit of the social security number, putting roughly 20% in the control group. Because participation was voluntary (an encouragement design), the authors report both the effect of being offered the programme and, using random assignment as an instrument, the effect of actually taking part. Around 54% of those in the treatment group took up STEP.What it did to job search behaviour. The job application register lets the authors watch how people searched. Participants made fewer applications to posted vacancies and did more networking, exactly the shift the programme was designed to produce. The change in method did not raise the number of job interviews, but it was accompanied by faster exits from unemployment.Cost effectiveness. Participation cut cumulative benefit payments by about 715 euros within 18 months, comfortably above the 470 euro cost, making STEP cost effective for the benefits administration. For participants, the lost benefits were almost fully offset by higher earnings from working sooner, so there was no large income gain to the individual, but no loss either.Who it helped. Effects were strongest for the better educated, those with higher pre-unemployment earnings and those not previously working through a temporary work agency. There was little or no effect on the lowest educated, who also had the lowest take-up. The authors find no significant difference by gender or by age band within the 50 to 63 range.Trainers and group composition. Effectiveness varied significantly across trainers, but no observed characteristic (gender, age, experience, contract type) explained which trainers did better. Group composition mattered too: participants did better when their group contained some lower-educated members, which argues for mixed rather than streamed training groups. One reading is that trainers may concentrate their attention on the more employable members of a group.Does it generalise? Two caveats. The programme was evaluated in a recession, when people were losing jobs through no fault of their own (frictional unemployment), and it may do less when work is easier to find. And it was designed for that kind of unemployment, not for the structural problem of workers whose skills no longer match available jobs, where van der Klaauw suggests training or retraining, rather than job search help, is the relevant tool.

A hard wheat year can still teach Oklahoma producers something useful about risk, timing, and variety decisions. In this episode of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, Dave Deken, Brian Arnall Ph.D., and Josh Lofton Ph.D. talk with Amanda Silva Ph.D., Oklahoma State University Extension small grains specialist, about the 2026 Oklahoma wheat crop. They discuss drought stress, scattered rainfall, early crop development, planting date decisions, test weight, wheat streak mosaic virus, and what variety trials can still tell farmers in a difficult year. Key takeaways: Rain timing drove much of the difference between fields, even within the same county. Earlier crop development, warm winter conditions, and a cooler grain-fill period shaped yield and test weight outcomes. Planting date can be used as a risk-management tool, especially when paired with different maturity groups. Wheat variety trials are still valuable in stressful years, but researchers must carefully judge data quality, CV, blocks, and field variability. OSU research continues on late-planted wheat, seeding rates, nitrogen management, forage production, coleoptile length, and deeper planting to chase moisture. Detailed timestamped rundown 00:00–02:14 — Intro and setup Dave opens Episode 514 by framing the conversation around the Oklahoma wheat crop and why a hard year can still shape decisions for future crops. He also promotes the Summer Crop Demo Day near Chickasha and introduces Brian Arnall Ph.D., Josh Lofton Ph.D., and guest Amanda Silva Ph.D.02:17–06:19 — Field-tour context and statewide wheat observations The group talks about seeing wheat across Oklahoma through field tours, Oklahoma Wheat Commission work, and research stops from Apache and Greenfield to the Panhandle and northeast Oklahoma. Dave notes how seeing the crop in person gave a fuller picture than just looking at numbers.06:27–09:10 — A hard, variable wheat season Silva describes the season as one of the hardest since she started at OSU. She explains that southwest and western Oklahoma were especially rough, while some locations saw enough rain to produce pockets of better wheat. Rainfall patterns created major differences, even between fields in the same county.09:11–12:02 — Stand establishment, planting timing, and grain fill Josh compares the wheat variability to what he saw in canola. Silva and Arnall discuss how some locations benefited from earlier establishment, while others struggled with stands and canopy closure. Cooler weather during grain fill likely helped preserve some grain quality and test weight.12:04–15:17 — Why wheat matured early Arnall asks why wheat was running ahead of schedule across a broad region. Silva points to warm late-winter and early-spring temperatures that moved the crop through growth stages quickly. The group also compares how those conditions affected canola and freeze risk.15:17–17:40 — The critical period for yield Silva explains that the jointing-to-flowering period is especially important because key yield components are being set. Moisture or stress during that window can strongly shape final yield.17:45–20:35 — Diversifying planting dates Arnall raises the idea of spreading planting dates as another form of risk management. Silva agrees that stacking planting dates could help, especially when combined with different variety maturities. She clarifies that “early” for grain-only wheat may still mean mid-October, not September.20:36–23:53 — Dusting in wheat and chasing moisture Dave asks when dusting in becomes worth the risk. Silva explains that farmers and researchers both have acreage and time constraints, and sometimes planting dry is a practical choice. The group also discusses deeper planting, coleoptile length, and whether Oklahoma could learn from dryland systems in the Pacific Northwest and Australia.23:54–28:13 — How much water does wheat really need? Dave asks whether researchers can determine a minimum moisture requirement for wheat in a controlled setting. Arnall and Lofton explain why lab or pot-study answers do not always translate well to field decisions because soil, temperature, humidity, wind, rooting environment, and other factors change the outcome.29:09–32:19 — Silva's research program Silva outlines current OSU wheat work, including planting date, variety maturity, nitrogen management in late-planted wheat, seeding rates, forage response, grazing recovery, nitrogen uptake, protein, and nitrogen-use efficiency. She notes new forage-focused seeding-rate work at El Reno and possibly Chickasha.32:20–36:47 — Variety trials and disease pressure The group discusses OSU's wheat variety trial network, the number of varieties being evaluated, and the inclusion of irrigated wheat work in the Panhandle. Silva notes wheat streak mosaic virus pressure in irrigated plots and explains that water alone does not remove the impact of disease.36:48–45:45 — How researchers judge trial data Arnall asks Silva and Lofton to explain how they decide whether trial data is trustworthy. They discuss CV, blocks, reps, averages, plot-by-plot review, field notes, drone imagery, canopy gaps, and the challenge of publishing fair comparisons when field variability is high.45:46–49:10 — Lessons from a stressful wheat year Silva's big takeaway is the resilience of wheat and Oklahoma producers. The group points out that hard “scientist years” can reveal useful information about stress tolerance, variety response, and management, even when they are not the years producers hope for.

"¿Por qué Enzo Ferrari dijo que el Jaguar E-Type era el automóvil más bello del mundo? Descubre esta loca historia..." En marzo de 1961, un coche británico de líneas increíbles debutó en el Salón de Ginebra prometiendo 240 km/h por una fracción del precio de un deportivo italiano. El mismísimo Enzo Ferrari lo bautizó públicamente como "el automóvil más bello del mundo", aunque en secreto sabía que podría ser su peor pesadilla. Así nació la leyenda del Jaguar E-Type, el primer superdeportivo asequible de la historia que obligó a sus rivales a replantearse el futuro. El nacimiento de un mito por accidente En la posguerra británica, Jaguar dominaba en los circuitos y en las 24 Horas de Le Mans, pero sus coches de calle comenzaban a quedar obsoletos frente a las estilizadas berlinettas italianas. La marca necesitaba un golpe de efecto. La clave del milagro fue Malcolm Sayer, un ingeniero aeronáutico que detestaba que lo llamaran diseñador. Armado con fórmulas matemáticas, Sayer esculpió el aire. Cada curva del E-Type fue calculada numéricamente para ofrecer la menor resistencia al viento. El coche no se diseñó para ser bello, sino para ser aerodinámico; su belleza sin igual fue, sencillamente, el accidente más feliz de la historia del motor. Una carrera contrarreloj hacia Ginebra La presentación en el Salón de Ginebra de 1961 fue una locura absoluta. La demanda de la prensa para ver el coche en movimiento fue tan abrumadora que William Lyons, fundador de la marca, ordenó a su piloto de pruebas, Norman Dewis, conducir un segundo prototipo (el mítico Roadster descapotable) durante toda la noche. Dewis cruzó desde Coventry hasta Suiza conduciendo bajo la lluvia y la niebla para llegar justo a tiempo a la presentación. El "Low Cost" demoledor La verdadera bomba cayó al desvelarse las cifras. El Jaguar E-Type ofrecía prestaciones de competición a un precio que rompió el mercado. Para entender el pánico que desató, basta con mirar la comparativa de precios en el mercado británico de 1961: -Aston Martin DB4: 240 CV | 3.967 libras. -Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina: 240 CV | 5.600 libras (aprox. por aranceles). -Jaguar E-Type: 265 CV | 2.097 libras. Con lo que costaba el Ferrari, un aficionado podía comprarse el Jaguar, un coche familiar para el día a día, pagar el combustible de un año y pagarse unas vacaciones de lujo. De repente, el rendimiento estratosférico ya no estaba reservado únicamente a la realeza o a los magnates. Nota histórica: El aura mística del E-Type se consolidó al alcanzar las 150 mph (241 km/h) en las pruebas de prensa. La realidad es que aquellas unidades estaban "dopadas" mecánicamente por los ingenieros de Jaguar, pero al mundo no le importó esa pequeña mentira piadosa. Luces y sombras bajo el capó Mecánicamente, el E-Type era un portento gracias a su motor XK de 3.8 litros. Sin embargo, escondía un pozo de desesperación para los mecánicos: Refrigeración deficiente: La preciosa entrada de aire delantera era demasiado pequeña para el verano, haciendo que el agua hirviera con facilidad. Mantenimiento complejo: Conseguir que sus tres carburadores SU trabajaran en perfecta armonía requería un oído musical. Frenos ocultos: Para mejorar la dinámica, los frenos traseros se colocaron en el centro del eje (inboard). Cambiar unas simples pastillas implicaba descolgar todo el puente trasero. Sistema eléctrico Lucas: Conocidos irónicamente como "El Príncipe de las Tinieblas", los componentes eléctricos sufrían de cortocircuitos y fallos constantes. Evolución y decadencia El E-Type se adaptó a las exigencias del mercado a lo largo de los años: Serie 1 (1961-1964): El purasangre original con faros carenados y motor 3.8L (luego ampliado a 4.2L con mejor caja de cambios). Serie 2 (1968): Presionado por las normas de seguridad de EE. UU., perdió los cristales de los faros y modificó sus defensas, aunque mejoró su refrigeración y frenada. Serie 3 (1971): Las normativas de emisiones ahogaron al motor de seis cilindros, obligando a instalar un pesado V12. El coche se alargó, convirtiéndose en un Gran Turismo hasta su fin en 1974. Conclusión El Jaguar E-Type demostró que la excelencia en ingeniería y el diseño de vanguardia podían desafiar los precios prohibitivos, ganándose por derecho propio el título del coche más bello del mundo.

Gunnar Fischer: Accepting Not Being Accepted—The People-Pleasing Trap That Broke a Scrum Master Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "I accepted not being accepted, and that was a big failure." - Gunnar Fischer Gunnar's biggest failure wasn't a single bad decision—it was an attitude he carried into work for far too long. As an Agile coach and Scrum Master, he watched a new high-ranking manager arrive who didn't like the team, didn't respect them, never even officially introduced herself. And Gunnar did the worst possible thing: he played along. He did the people-pleasing dance without ever getting feedback, recognition, or even a basic conversation. He formed ideas as a team, did the work, asked for nothing back—and accepted that nobody looked at the work. In hindsight, the Scrum value of respect was the missing piece. "The members of a Scrum team respect each other to be capable, independent people, and are also respected as such by the others." Gunnar respected others. He did not demand that respect for himself. The wake-up came in Ecuador—swimming with sharks in the open sea, he realized he felt safer there than in his own office. So he updated his CV, took an internal switch, and finally stepped out of victim mode. His real insight is uncomfortable: if you read about something good—getting time for your own development, being heard, being respected—and you instinctively deflect it or make excuses for why you can't have it, that's a very clear indicator you've internalized being small. In this episode, we refer to The Coach's Casebook by Geoff Watts, specifically the chapter on people-pleasing. Self-reflection Question: When was the last time someone described a healthy professional environment to you, and you found yourself making excuses for why you couldn't have it?

What to do when an organization resists your efforts to conduct a Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) deposition by claiming it not only doesn't currently have information on the topics, but that it never had any? As Jim urges you to do in this episode, take the deposition and force the entity's designee to say it entirely lacks knowledge on the topics. Why? Because the absence of knowledge is itself a discoverable fact. And showing that an entity took no steps to become informed on critical matters can be powerful proof of indifference, negligence, or omission.

Don't Get Stranded! Essential Trackside Spares.Welcome back to Everyone Racers. FUCKING MOPAR 440 EPISODE in which Mental just doesn't sleep, Tim buys more parts cars, Chrissy chicken likes wooden and fresh eggs, and Chris removes a sunroof. Really, we talk all about spares. Every racer has a story. A wheel bearing that failed without warning. A fuel pump that quit at the worst possible moment. A brake hose that turned a podium run into a parts-store scavenger hunt. Spare parts can save your weekend, what should you get, where to get them, how to keep them, and when to call it. What's the one spare part that can save an entire race weekend? We dive deep into one of the least glamorous—but most important—topics in amateur motorsports: the spare parts you should always bring to the track.Using lessons learned from years of endurance racing, LeMons racing, ChampCar, Lucky Dog, SCCA, NASA, grassroots road racing, rally adventures, and countless trackside repairs, we cover the spare parts strategy that keeps race cars on track and out of the paddock.We've lived through all of it, and in this episode we break down exactly what belongs in your trailer, tow vehicle, paddock box, or race car so you can spend more time racing and less time searching for parts.In this episode:
Convidado: Christopher Garman, diretor executivo das Américas na Eurasia Group, consultoria voltada em analisar tendências geopolíticas, eleições e mudanças regulatórias no continente. Nesta terça-feira (23), o presidente dos Estados Unidos compartilhou em sua rede social um artigo publicado pela emissora NewsMax que cita o Brasil como o próximo “teste” de Trump no processo de “ressurgimento conservador” da América Latina. É mais um sinal de que a Casa Branca está com a eleição brasileira na mira. A relação entre Trump e Lula, que já foi descrita pelo americano como uma “excelente química”, agora está estremecida – depois do encontro do G-7, ele também disse que “não pensa” e “não se importa” com Lula. Na relação entre os países, as últimas semanas registraram o anúncio de um novo tarifaço sobre produtos brasileiros e a classificação das facções CV e PCC como organizações terroristas por parte do governo americano. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com o analista internacional Christopher Garman sobre o que quer Donald Trump no Brasil e qual o tamanho da influência que ele pode ter nas eleições daqui. Garman avalia o impacto das ações da Casa Branca nas demais eleições latino-americanas e analisa as perspectivas de Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro até outubro.
Cindy Gustafson has checked off a laundry list of accomplishments during her first 18 months as CEO of Nutrafol. This includes an app launch designed to improve retention and a product release tailored to reach one of its smallest customer demographics in men over 50. These rollouts happened while she led the team toward double-digit growth during 2025, her first full year as CEO, on a path to soon reach $1 billion in annual sales. “You need a real commitment to delivering on something someone actually needs [in order to win this category],” Gustafson told host Lexy Lebsack. “We actually have quite a small portfolio of products, [unlike our competitor] brands that have hundreds and hundreds of SKUs. We are not that kind of a brand. We are not that kind of a business.” Instead, Gustafson has stayed hyper-focused on delivering on its main promise of improved hair growth. “We have been so fixated on really delivering against what a customer needs and what a customer is looking for, and staying very, very grounded in that,” she said. Gustafson is a veteran exec whose CV includes Weight Watchers, Bark, Mindshare and Unilever. She spent 18 months as chief marketing officer of Nutrafol before taking over the CEO role from Nutrafol's co-founder Giorgos Tsetis after its Unilever acquisition. In today's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Gustafson unpacks her secret sauce for growth, how the supplement consumer has evolved and much more.

Hello and welcome to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury, presented by the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're kicking off our new season with a fantastic guest: Don Was. Was' CV is stunning. In addition to his genre-bending work with Was (Not Was), Don has collaborated with some of the most respected artists in music history: Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, The B-52s, Ringo Starr, Roy Orbison…the list could go on. These days, you can find Don with his band, The Pan-Detroit Ensemble, whose latest album is called Groove in the Face of Adversity, and behind the desk at Blue Note Records—he's been the president of the legendary jazz label since 2011. But Don has joined us today to talk about one of his very first recording projects: Ted Lucas' Impossible Love, an unheard album he cut with the cult Detroit songwriter in 1979. Impossible Love is part of Third Man Records' new collection of Lucas gold, Images of Life. Following their reissue of his stoned folk classic 1975 LP, Third Man Records has unlocked the vault, offering a comprehensive look at one of the late '60s and '70s' most dynamic Detroit talents. Spanning Lucas' career, the set includes recordings by Lucas' early regional sensations like The Spike Drivers, The Misty Wizards, and The Horny Toads, acoustic demos, and his long-lost second album, produced by Was. Don joined us to discuss his time with Ted–including a disastrous gig they played with Black Sabbath—and help us uncover this lost Motor City counter culture story. And that's not all—Don also reflected on his work with the late bandmate Bob Weir, the legacy of the Dead, and of course, his work on Garth Brooks' ill-fated 1999 Chris Gaines project. That's right: we went there. So roll up your sleeves and let's get to it, Don Was on Transmissions.
