Preet Majithia takes over the CITIUS MAG Podcast in today's episode to sit down with Laurent Meuwly, the head coach for sprints, hurdles, and relays at the Dutch Olympic Training Centre in Papendal.He's been with the Dutch program since 2019, and the group he has built includes Femke Broeders-Bol, Lieke Klaver, and Nadine Visser, along with a rotating cast of international athletes, including world indoor 400m champion Lurdes Gloria Manuel and Australian sprint star Torrie Lewis.Under his guidance, Dutch relay teams have become a dominant force on the world stage, and his athletes have collected world titles, Olympic medals, and European and national records across the flat 400, the 400 hurdles, and now, in Femke's first season of competition at the distance, the 800m.When Femke Broeders-Bol made the decision to move up to the 800 this season, it was Laurent who had already been thinking about this moment since he first started working with her. He actually talked her out of making the switch a year earlier. She wanted to go right after the Paris Olympics. He convinced her to stay in the 400 hurdles for one more season, win a second world title, and leave that chapter on a high note.Then came the transition. This interview was done one day after Femke ran 1:54.71, putting her within the top 10 on the all-time 800m list.Laurent is candid about everything: what he kept from Femke's 400m hurdles training and what he changed, why her mileage stays around 60 kilometers a week, the mental adjustment of still being only halfway through the race after one full lap, and why the world record conversation will eventually shift from who breaks it to conversations about 1:52.Everyone's been interested in the Femke 800m transition, and we've got the inside scoop here.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: OLIPOP's Citrus Rush packs apple, lemon, lime, and orange juices with 60mg of green tea caffeine for a bold, refreshing blast of flavor ready to fuel your next adventure.

Talks are understood to be at an advanced stage, with a deal largely agreed between the two clubs. The potential arrival of Ndiaye comes at the same time as Everton have agreed terms in principle to re-sign Richarlison from Spurs, with both clubs involved in significant squad reshaping ahead of the summer transfer deadline. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur now have an agreement in place for the transfer of central midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, who is set to join Juventus on loan with a potential obligation to buy. Sunderland have also received fresh encouragement in their pursuit of Kevin Danso after Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that the Tottenham defender has asked to leave before Tuesday night's deadline. The Black Cats previously saw a loan move for the 27-year-old Austria international rejected, but Florent Ghisolfi has continued to keep Danso among the defensive options under consideration. Brentford are also reportedly weighing up a late move for Archie Gray, with Keith Andrews looking to strengthen his squad ahead of a potential European push. Late interest from Brentford has emerged two years after they saw Gray slip from their grasp when he opted to join Spurs. Tottenham are understood to want to retain the 20-year-old, having already rejected an approach from Newcastle earlier in the summer, and the club are likely to maintain a firm not-for-sale stance. Back in May, Roberto De Zerbi praised Gray's potential, describing him as a very young player with a big future ahead of him. The Spurs boss said he was confident Gray could become a future captain of the club, while also stressing the importance of settling on his best position.

  About this episode:  The October 1777 victory at Saratoga opened the door for an alliance with France, and that nation's aid was crucial for American independence. All too aware of that fact, Jefferson Davis made European recognition a priority. For as many Southerners put it, this was their second war for independence. Conversely, Abraham Lincoln was just as committed to keeping the Confederacy isolated. This is the story of two governments waging war in the art of negotiation. This is the story of diplomacy in the American Civil War.        ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Henry John Temple Napoleon III Robert Barnwell Rhett Charles Francis Adams John Slidell Ferdinand Maximilian   Subscribe to the Threads from the National Tapestry YouTube Channel here   Thank you to our sponsor, Celebrity Word Scramble.

Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(1:22) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(3:53) Translating the Atmosphere(4:31) The Pandemic of the Past(6:37) Death and the Gardener(9:49) The Translators Calling(11:00) Slowing Down Time(13:14) Storytelling vs Propaganda(15:54) Translating the Atmosphere(18:19) What makes a good life?

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Andrew Gold about how political tribalism and social media echo chambers can resemble cult psychology; why women are more likely to be drawn into cults; lessons from Scientology and NXIVM about conformity, status, belonging, and why intelligent people become trapped in ideological bubbles; why people often abandon cult-like movements only after being personally mistreated; how October 7 challenged some progressive Jews' beliefs; the growing threat of internet censorship and government control of social media; the UK's push to favor "trustworthy" legacy media like the BBC over independent YouTube creators; how bots, foreign influence, and online ID verification could reshape internet freedom; how institutional pressure influences mainstream media coverage; the worsening immigration crisis in the UK and Europe; why even left-wing politicians are beginning to support stronger borders; how mass immigration transformed Sweden's high-trust society and contributed to crime and parallel societies; why deportations remain difficult under European human rights rules; concerns about assimilation and national identity; and much more.

Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center details the alarming surge of the United States gross national debt to record heights, exceeding forty trillion dollars. She argues that the country suffers from an out-of-control spending problem rather than a lack of tax revenue, citing massive unpaid pandemic spending. De Rugy blames both political parties for avoiding structural reforms and warns of the critical 2032 deadline when Social Security and Medicare funding will face automatic, severe cuts. She predicts that Congress will resort to further debt and inflation, which will heavily penalize the public, while indebted European nations face similar struggles. (3)

TONIGHT-CONTENTS-8-26-2026California Swells Weather And Nevada CasinosJeff Bliss discusses a massive southern ocean swell creating rare surfing conditions at Newport Harbor's channel. Driven by an intense tropical storm off Mexico, California is experiencing unprecedented humidity and a nearly five-degree Fahrenheit rise in ocean temperatures, prompting a surge in marine life including hammerhead and great white sharks. Turning to Nevada, Bliss describes the K-shaped economy, where Las Vegas strip casinos profit from wealthy international tourists, while local traffic declines. He details In-N-Out's slow, quality-controlled eastward expansion and concludes with Berkeley's controversial, permissive approach toward housing campus homeless encampments, noting they receive government-funded clean needles and glass pipes. (1)Separation Of Powers And Election FraudRichard Epstein discusses a federal ruling by Judge Indira Talwani blocking the Trump administration's postal mail-in voting regulations for the 2026 midterms. Epstein asserts the administration overstepped, as the Constitution explicitly delegates election regulation to Congress, not the executive. He criticizes Chief Justice John Roberts's defense of the unitary executive, calling his opinions a disgrace that allows executive power to swamp both the legislature and the judiciary. Lastly, Epstein references Paul Krugman's views on Trump's destructive physical and institutional teardown of Washington and laments how flawed standing doctrines prevent ordinary citizens from legally challenging executive overreach in federal court.

She predicts that Congress will resort to further debt and inflation, which will heavily penalize the public, while indebted European nations face similar struggles. (3)Economic Boom In Idyllic Lancaster CountyJim McTague details the thriving post-pandemic economy of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Tourism remains robust, with attractions like the Renaissance Faire drawing two hundred thousand visitors annually. The local real estate market is red-hot, with retirees purchasing existing homes with cash and bid-ups creating million-dollar McMansions. McTague notes that rising inflation has packed Costco aisles with middle-class shoppers seeking the famous five-dollar loss-leader rotisserie chickens. He also discusses local commercial resistance to data centers, explaining how the impoverished borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative data center deal that would have solved its fiscal deficits, while baby boomers power local restaurants. (4)Small Business Growth And AI IntegrationGene Marks reports on his travels, conversing with host John Batchelor about a Quebec credit union conference where executives discussed loans, competitiveness, and adopting AI in front and back offices. Due to high mortgage rates, credit unions are shifting focus toward commercial loans. In Atlanta's thriving steel industry, tariffs have boosted competitiveness, and companies are deploying AI-powered robotic arms, gloves, and dogs to improve safety. Finally, a recent Pew Research survey indicates that Gen X is leading AI adoption because older, established professionals feel more secure than younger generations, though Marks calls the fear of job loss an urban legend. (5)French Resistance And World War ExileJane Rogoyska, author of Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War, Part Two: Rogoyska details how German anti-fascists and French Jews fled Paris for Marseilles and Spain in 1941. While Heinrich Mann escaped successfully, philosopher Walter Benjamin tragically committed suicide at the Spanish border. Rogoyska notes that Samuel Beckettjoined the resistance after Paul Léon's arrest. The Abwehr, aided by the treacherous priest Robert Alesch, infiltrated resistance networks, but was sidelined as the Gestapo's brutality worsened. Post-war, the Lutetia hotel became a repatriation center processing concentration camp survivors. Beckett survived and wrote literary masterpieces, while Alesch was executed. (6)Nuclear Politics And Precision Guided WarfareHenry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, discusses the unpublicized nuclear cooperative agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia. He warns host John Batchelor that keeping side agreements secret from the American public prevents Congressional oversight. Saudi Arabia refuses to sign the additional protocol for inspections, claiming it violates sovereignty. Sokolski also highlights Poland's conflicting stances on hosting nuclear weapons, Germany's interest in funding the United Kingdom's Trident submarine program, and how Russia uses precision-guided munitions to target civilians and demoralize Ukraine, moving nuclear weapons further into the background, concluding that this is the new reality. (7)Debating Environmental Politics Of Data CentersKevin Frazier leads a roundtable with Jim McTague and Simon Constable discussing the political and environmental backlash against data centers. Frazier details how Lancaster City welcomed data centers to erase its school district's deficit, while the poorer borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative deal due to local protests. Frazier argues that data centers are vital national infrastructure, defending the construction jobs they create and noting that blocking them harms the digital economy. Finally, Constable shares trivia from his Wall Street Journal quiz, revealing that Virginia leads the United States in data centers, followed globally by the United Kingdom. (8)V

In 1954, a European businessman arrived in Japan aboard an international flight, carrying documents that appeared to confirm his identity and extensive history of overseas travel. There was, however, one significant problem. The country which had issued his passport did not exist. The traveller himself seemed equally bewildered, insisting that his homeland was a centuries-old nation recognised throughout the world. What followed would become the basis of one of the strangest stories ever to emerge from post-war Japan. And decades later, some believe the mystery of the Man from Taured could provide evidence that other realities exist alongside our own.   Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/bedtime for 50%off your first order today!   MUSIC Tracks used by kind permission of Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0   Tracks used by kind permission of CO.AG Learn more about your ad choices.

The Jed York arrest continues to get weirder as more details emerge, but is the NFL prepared for the prospect of Jake Paul playing in the future? Frank is enjoying the chaos of the European football transfer window; will Manchester City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool continue to splash the cash in the final days of the window?  Eddie doesn't believe that FIFA's punishment for Argentina's behaviour during the World Cup is sufficient, especially as Argentina are looking for creative ways to offset their financial penalties. England cricket has once again been rocked by a drinking scandal, and Frank and Eddie look into some of the unofficial requirements for the NFL Hall of Fame. Plus, 'Ted Lasso' has chosen to focus on women's football in season 4, but are they doing a good job of making it look good? 

The Nazca Mummies may be real, but not extraterrestrial. Steve Aspin and Dr. Andreas Lück challenge decades of UFO assumptions, arguing the mysterious Peruvian bodies could be terrestrial biological organisms and that so-called alien-human hybrids may actually be genetically engineered humans. A provocative, science-driven journey into one of ufology's greatest mysteries. GUEST: Steve Aspin spent more than 35 years working in surgery and medical diagnostics before turning his investigative skills toward the UFO and abduction mystery. Author of Out of Time and co-author of Investigating the Impossible, Aspin explores the possibility that the phenomenon may involve genetics, family bloodlines, and realities far stranger than extraterrestrial visitation. GUEST: Dr. Andreas Lück is a molecular biologist, geneticist, and former Professor of Medical Biochemistry, Genetics and Cell Biology. With research experience at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, he brings rigorous scientific analysis to some of the most controversial questions in ufology, applying genetics, DNA analysis, and cellular biology to the impossible.

Resort Wars: Showdown rolls on, and this time two very different Deluxe Villa resorts are stepping into the ring as Disney's Riviera Resort takes on Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa! We're putting these two resorts head-to-head across seven rounds, comparing them in theming and atmosphere, rooms and comfort, dining and drinks, transportation and location, recreation and amenities, value for money, and of course, listener intel. Riviera brings an upscale European-inspired atmosphere, a compact and easy-to-navigate layout, one of the strongest resort dining lineups at Walt Disney World, and the huge transportation advantage of the Disney Skyliner. But is all of that enough to justify the premium price? Saratoga Springs counters with a completely different experience. It's sprawling, peaceful, packed with recreation, offers everything from Deluxe Studios to the unique Treehouse Villas, and puts Disney Springs within walking or boating distance. It may not have the same polished feel as Riviera, but does its space, versatility, location, and value make it the better overall resort? We'll debate each category, award a point round by round, bring in your listener votes and comments, and make our final arguments before crowning a winner. Only one can advance in Resort Wars: Showdown. Will it be Riviera or Saratoga Springs?

#1036 | Ed and Dominic analyse United's Champions League return. It's a tough-looking draw with Bayern, Roma, and RB Leipzig at home. Then some cracking away ties in top European travel destinations. From there it's on to the run-in to transfer deadline day, where the expectation is that a left-back arrives. Probably not the marquee name everyone's been hoping for. There's also a wider question about why United never seem to be able to sell anyone for a decent fee. There's a proper rant about the ex-United pundit circuit and how relentlessly negative it's become. It's to the detriment of the club not its benefit.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Read Dr. Danger Zone by Kolja Spöri at https://www.amazon.com/dp/3903713023 Doug and Matt interview elite traveler Kolja Spöri about his new book, Dr. Danger Zone, a collection of 25 highlight stories from a lifetime of travel to remote and dangerous places, paired with his on-the-ground conclusions that often contradict mainstream narratives. Kolja recounts driving Russia's northern ice roads in extreme cold, visiting conflict zones and politically sensitive regions, and seeking out famous "watering hole" hotels, including Haiti's Hotel Oloffson. The conversation shifts to his views on Turkey's development under Erdoğan, increasing surveillance and political repression in Western Europe—especially Germany—and his belief that Europe is being pushed toward a wider war with Russia while migration is used as a weapon against European civilization. They also discuss his Libya trip during the Arab Spring, his connections that enabled access to places like Chechnya, the FARC, and Mindanao, a rap song made about his life, and his Formula 1 sponsorship career. 00:00 Meet Kolja Spöri 01:09 Inside Dr Danger Zone 04:33 Languages and Turkey 07:48 Europe Turning Point 10:24 War With Russia Fears 15:10 Migration and Culture Clash 21:32 Ice Road Adventure 25:17 Haiti Hotel Legends 27:41 Goma Danger Factors 30:22 Entering Libya During Spring 32:11 Armed Kids Reality 32:51 Planning Warzone Access 33:36 Libya Benghazi Insights 35:16 Borders And Breakups 36:40 Chechnya To FARC 39:00 Mindanao And Militants 41:20 Rap Tribute Breakdown 45:31 Karabakh And Azerbaijan 47:15 Formula One Backstory 49:05 Next Chapter Reflections 50:13 Book Plug And Farewell

The Bundesliga is one of the best leagues to bet on when it comes to individual matches but probably the worst in terms of an outright for the season - when we consider how few markets there are available, compared to some of the other top European leagues. You've only got a handful to go at and two of those have a clear favourite unlikely to be beaten. Bayern Munich are as short as 1/10 in places to lift yet another Bundesliga title, with star striker Harry Kane in at 2/5 with the those bookies who are offering a top goalscorer market.Billi does what he can with what he has on offer, breaking down all of the available futures markets, before moving into to covering selected games from Matchday 1. Bayern Munich kick off the season tonight at home to Stuttgart. Bayern won the Bundesliga by 16 points last season, scoring a whopping 122 goals in their 34 matches, and Vincent Kompany's side are unlikely to take their foot off the gas as they chase glory at home and abroad.They have already beaten Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the German Super Cup, but opening league opponents Stuttgart will be encouraged by the fact the champions kept just four clean sheets in their final 19 Bundesliga games last term.

Aston Villa's Champions League league-phase opponents are confirmed: Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Fenerbahçe and Viking all visit Villa Park, while Villa face trips to Barcelona, Club Brugge (again), Galatasaray and Slavia Prague.We assess what lies ahead for the rebuilt Villa team, fixture by fixture: from the reality of an away day at a two-thirds-rebuilt Camp Nou to the banana skin potential of an organised Viking side at Villa Park. Could another European away day to Brugge actually be a blessing in disguise? There's also a third trip this year for Unai Emery's boys to Istanbul. None of it is straightforward to call. This is a Champions League campaign where it is hard to judge expectations of a team we haven't seen play yet, as the players are still being signed and coming through the door. Despite that factor, we judge the difficulty of what lies ahead and what's needed to progress.UTVNew Adidas Originals collection and away kit out now Get extra months free and huge savings on a two-year NordVPN plan here Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

US equity futures are modestly lower. European equities are higher, while Asian markets ended mostly firmer. Focus is on Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech amid uncertainty over the Fed's reaction function and the implications of recent Treasury buybacks. Markets are also watching the Strait of Hormuz, where there is still no concrete progress on reopening despite reports of an Iran-Oman agreement on revenue sharing. Iran is preparing conditions for reopening the Strait, while the US has rejected a return to June's MoU and continues to favor economic pressure. There are thoughts that US efforts in shuttling crude through the Strait is helping to cap oil prices.Companies Mentioned: Anthropic, NVIDIA, PayPal

In 1970, police officers were called to a bizarre disturbance in St. Catharines, Ontario, and reportedly witnessed phenomena they couldn't explain. Psychology professor and paranormal investigator Peter Sacco joins Richard Syrett to reopen the case, separate evidence from legend, and ask the unsettling question: what if the haunting was real? GUEST: Peter Andrew Sacco is a Canadian psychology professor, author, filmmaker and veteran paranormal investigator who brings an unusual perspective to the supernatural: he understands both the mysteries of the paranormal and the ways the human mind can deceive itself. He hosts the award-winning television series The Paranormal Profilers and created the film Niagara's 13 Ghosts. His investigations have taken him deep into the haunted history of Ontario's Niagara region, exploring apparitions, poltergeist activity, EVPs and locations marked by violence, tragedy and death.

CEO José Muñoz said Europe is one of the most competitive regions on the planet and that every EV credit protects the ICE and hybrid business, while the claimed 30% battery-cost reduction is a planned saving on 2027 models using mid-nickel NCM cells rather than an achieved one.HYUNDAI CLAIMS MORE THAN 600 MILES FOR SANTA FE EREVHyundai's first range-extender EV, the Santa Fe EREV, is due in North America in the first half of 2027 with a claimed 600-plus miles of total range from a battery less than half the size of a comparable EV's, using electric motors for drive and an engine solely as a generator. Production begins in Alabama in early 2027, with Hyundai expecting EREVs to matter more in North America than in Europe, and an Ioniq V EREV planned for China plus a Genesis EREV in early 2027.HYUNDAI PLANS INTERMEDIATE N PERFORMANCE TIERHyundai is creating an unnamed performance tier between N Line trims and full N models, using N powertrains but at lower cost and better suited to daily driving. It sees the high-volume middle ground as a sales opportunity that could also free the flagship N cars, such as the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, to become more track-focused, though no technical details have been disclosed.HYUNDAI SELECTS KALUZA FOR SMART CHARGINGHyundai has named London-based Kaluza its global partner for EV smart charging and vehicle-to-grid services, starting with Hyundai and Kia in the UK and expanding to Australia, with OVO becoming the first UK retailer to offer smart charging through the Kia App. The deal sits within Hyundai Motor Group's AllDayEnergy programme launched in July, expanding existing pilots in Jeju, the US and the Netherlands, with V2G services planned for next year.OMODA 4 SET FOR BARCELONA ESPORTS DEBUTChery brand Omoda will launch its 4.4-metre Omoda 4 compact crossover in Europe at the Valorant Champions Tour EMEA finals in Barcelona from 28 to 30 August, targeting younger technology-oriented buyers, before an Italian debut at the Turin show on 11 September. Europe accounts for more than 40 percent of Omoda and Jaecoo's global sales, and Chery, Europe's second bestselling Chinese automaker in July behind BYD, opened its first European hub and R&D centre in Barcelona in April.VOLVO ADDS SHARED ANIMAL HAZARD ALERTSA Volvo software update lets EX60, EX90 and ES90 cars use sensors and cameras to detect large animals such as deer and sheep, upload the location to the cloud and warn approaching vehicles, including those on the European Data for Road Safety programme, with added alerts for pedestrians, cyclists, roadworks and accidents ahead. Safety chief Åsa Haglund said the newer models' computing power makes this possible but that warnings must be trustworthy, since false positives deteriorate trust in driver-assistance systems.VOLTPOST ADDS CEILING AND SURFACE EV CHARGERSVoltpost has extended its Voltpost Air range beyond lamppost retrofits with ceiling-mounted chargers that lower retractable cables in parking garages and surface-mounted units for walls, pedestals and kerbside sites without poles. It claims installations take hours rather than days and can cut costs by up to 70%, though it has told Massachusetts regulators each charger needs 40A and dual-port units 80A, with some sites requiring power upgrades or a new meter.PLUG-IN SOLAR PANELS LEGALISED ACROSS GREAT BRITAINPlug-in solar panels became legal to buy and use across Great Britain on 27 August, with kits generating up to 800W, meeting up to 20% of a home's electricity use and saving up to £110 a year, after independent safety testing found compliant panels safe under a specification stricter than Germany's. Complete kits are expected to cost around £400–£600 initially and will be stocked by Amazon, Argos, Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes, with government assuming 15% of households pay for mounting help and 20% need minor electrical work.NIO CERTIFIED USED EVS START AT 26,900 EUROSNio's cheapest certified used EV in Europe costs 26,900 euros without a battery, which buyers instead subscribe to under Battery as a Service at 169 euros a month for 75kWh or 289 euros for 100kWh in Germany and the Netherlands, adding close to 7,000 euros over the remaining warranty for the larger pack. All cars are 2023 or 2024 builds with roughly two years of warranty left, drawn from Nio's own fleet and given full technical, cosmetic and structural inspections, original-parts repairs and no scheduled servicing for six months or 10,000 kilometres.APTERA SECURES UP TO $44 MILLION INVESTMENTAptera Motors has secured a strategic investment of up to $44 million from Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology, or Launch Design, covering fixtures, tooling, testing and pilot production for its first 40 solar electric vehicles at its planned Carlsbad, California site. The company is targeting the start of production in Q4 2026, with first vehicle bodies and chassis expected in October 2026.VESSEV RAISES $A27 MILLION FOR HYDROFOIL PRODUCTIONAuckland-based Vessev has raised $US19 million in Series A and follow-on funding led by Blackbird Ventures to scale production of its electric hydrofoiling vessels, grow its market team and develop onboard software and telemetry. The 2017-founded firm, which launched the 40-nautical-mile VS-9 in 2024 and has since added the VS-12, has delivery agreements in Sydney, Perth and Tasmania and named FlyTahoe as its first US customer, though its first Perth VS-9s only arrive in early 2027 pending classification and regulatory approval.

Dotun Adebayo and Tim Vickery are joined by Spanish football expert and author Miguel Lourenço Pereira to examine one of the biggest stories in European football: José Mourinho's return to Real Madrid.Can Mourinho make Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr work together? Why did Vinícius ultimately stay in Madrid rather than pursue a move to Arsenal? And has Real Madrid started to lose the pulling power that once made the world's best players desperate to wear white?Miguel explains why Mourinho may have played a key role in convincing Vinícius to stay, how José has changed since his first spell at the Bernabéu, and why this season could define much more than Madrid's trophy cabinet.The conversation also turns to Barcelona's signing of Rodri, whether he is an evolution of Sergio Busquets, Julián Álvarez's uncertain Atlético Madrid future, the historic Luís Figo transfer and the politics that make Spanish football's rivalries so different.Plus, could Real Madrid's ownership structure itself eventually change if the club struggles to keep financially competing with the Premier League and PSG?Miguel is the author of The Greatest: Real Madrid's Never Ending Story.Join the Brazilian Shirt Name WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBNgO58PgsAgQXRP32TSubscribe to FC Camisa, the home of football's story told properly.Miguel's book: The Greatest: Real Madrid's Never Ending Story - https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/greatest

It's not exactly a hot take to suggest Bayern Munich might come away as Bundesliga champions this season, and this year certainly follows that same pattern. With Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen both in transition, might this be the season where Vincent Kompany's side surpass even the lofty heights of Pep Guardiola's time at the club?Kevin Hatchard makes his debut on the show to discuss that prospect. Plus, Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala link up three times to lead Roma to a 4-0 thrashing of Fiorentina. Can Dybalen, as some are calling them, take them to Scudetto contention? And Fenerbahçe reach the Champions League for the first time in nearly two decades.

On this edition of The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft breaks down the corporate payouts, legislative censorship, and foreign-hosted extremist networks dominating the headlines: The $17 Billion Meta Shakedown (Dr. Sal Giorgiani): Victoria analyzes the multi-state settlement requiring Meta to pay up to $17 billion over ten years. Men's health expert and former APHA chair Dr. Sal Giorgiani joins the show to examine the physiological and neurological damage caused by social media algorithms. Dr. Giorgiani breaks down dopamine hijacking, male body-image dysmorphia, and why state general funds pocket billions while injured teens and families receive zero direct compensation. Nick Shirley Schools the New York Times: Independent investigative journalist Nick Shirley goes head-to-head with a New York Times reporter in Sacramento over the "Nick Shirley Act". Victoria reviews the video showing how California lawmakers are attempting to weaponize privacy laws and prior restraint to criminalize undercover reporting on fraudulent non-profit and immigration service rings. State Dept Blacklists Global Antifa Tech Infrastructure: The U.S. State Department and Treasury issue sanctions against Italy-based Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective). Declassified intelligence exposes how this foreign collective provided bulletproof servers, encrypted communications, and doxing portals for violent extremists—including Rose City Antifa, Jane's Revenge, Stop Cop City, and European critical infrastructure saboteurs. The Left-Islamist Revolutionary Nexus: Victoria connects the ideological dots between Western Marxist movements and radical Islamist theocracy, referencing Haviv Rettig Gur's analysis of Maoist protracted warfare, Shia redemptive martyrdom, and viral footage of a local mayor silencing dissent over Hezbollah.

Today on The John McGinness Show AB 2760 would prohibit the use and purchase of wearable electroshock devices, including by state and local law enforcement agencies, in response to the emergence of new electric shock gloves. At the same time, California lawmakers are considering an emergency $10 million allocation to maintain Medi-Cal coverage for gender-affirming care for minors, raising questions about state spending priorities and policies involving youth. The debate also highlights differences with some European countries, where minors seeking gender-related medical treatment may be required to undergo psychological screening and evaluation before receiving certain forms of care. What do you think?

AFC Bournemouth are heading into Europe for the first time in the club's history - but what is it ACTUALLY like to follow your team around the continent? I sat down with Max Stokes from Villa On Tour, who has first-hand experience of following Aston Villa through European competition, to find out everything Bournemouth fans need to know before embarking on their own European adventure. We discuss the realities of travelling to European away games, including the costs, flights, accommodation, getting around unfamiliar cities, tickets, matchday logistics, safety, ultras, security and some of the challenges that can catch supporters out. Max also shares his experiences from following Villa around Europe and offers plenty of advice for Bournemouth fans preparing to make the trip themselves. With the Cherries about to embark on their first-ever European campaign, this is essential viewing for anyone thinking about following the club on the road.

US equity futures are firmer, while Asian markets are mixed and European equities are mostly weaker. AI remains a key focus following Nvidia's earnings, with its strong revenue growth outlook reinforcing expectations for continued AI spending and supporting semiconductor and memory stocks. Nvidia also pushed back against concerns around circular financing. Elsewhere, lower energy prices are providing some support as Iran and Oman work toward finalizing an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, German consumer confidence beat expectations but remained deeply negative, while expectations for an ECB rate hike in September remain supported by recent policymaker comments.Companies Mentioned: Nvidia, Shein, Alibaba, Z.AI , MiniMax

Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(1:22) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(3:53) Translating the Atmosphere(4:31) The Pandemic of the Past(6:37) Death and the Gardener(9:49) The Translators Calling(11:00) Slowing Down Time(13:14) Storytelling vs Propaganda(15:54) Translating the Atmosphere(18:19) What makes a good life?

There's a certain ache in the bones—no, more like pain behind the eyes brought on by fatigue with the world—that overtakes a man when he's gone too long without talking about etymology. We here at The Remnant have been feeling that deeply, and we know you have too. That's why Jonah Goldberg is sitting down with fellow word nerd Colin Gorrie to talk about everything he's ever wanted to know about language. Jonah and Colin cover Old English dialects, prescriptive vs. descriptive, the world's biggest language, Latinization, early dictionaries, class, accents, linguistic hygiene, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, metaphors, the euphemism treadmill, borrowed words, Shakespearean coinages, Australian English, gender in language, Basque, and the hardest European language to learn.  Show Notes: —Colin's Substack —Colin speaking Old English  —John McWhorter Remnant —Paul Bloom - Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil —George Lakoff and Mark Johnson - Metaphors We Live By The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

Gregory Copley, editor of Defense & Foreign Affairs, argues that the US sanctions regime against Iran is strategic signaling that makes Washington look weak, as it ignores China's trade dominance and threatens relations with India. He also views the Canadian trade dispute as a strategic failure that weakens the NORAD treaty and forces Canada to act independently in the Arctic. This unpredictability has alienated European allies, who are now bypassing the US to negotiate directly on Ukraine. Additionally, Copley analyzes post-Petro Colombia, detailing how the energetic new president faces massive domestic security issues, narco-trafficking networks, and the grounding of critical disaster relief aircraft under sanctions.

Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections. Interestingly, an ideological rift has emerged as radical AfD factions in East Germany sour on MAGA due to Trump's policies on Iran. McCotter delivers a severe critique of the MAGA-AfD relationship, arguing MAGA should never have "played footsies" with neo-Nazis, and asserting the AfD is fundamentally aligned with Vladimir Putin rather than the United States—their temporary embrace of MAGA merely a superficial attraction. Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics.

CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-25-2026COVER OF FANTASTIC MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1961Liz Peek, columnist for The Hill and Fox News, discusses the surprising resilience of the American economy, noting that small businesses are reporting strong hiring and profitability growth based on broad National Federation of Independent Business and Bank of America data. While consumer spending remains robust, recent data reveals a K-shaped economy, where higher-income homeowners spend extensively on renovations while lower-income consumers trade down at Walmart. Rising interest rates present a critical challenge, slamming the housing market and significantly increasing interest payments on the massive national debt. Lastly, the administration's tariff conflict with Canada is criticized as a major, highly unfortunate, and economically damaging political mistake. (1)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, evaluates the Treasury's initial tranches of secondary sanctions targeting entities trading with Iran, including firms in China and the UAE. Although these measures stop short of targeting major Chinese banks, they provide President Trump with leverage ahead of his Washington summit with Xi Jinping. Within the Middle East, Schanzer warns that regional powers are hedging their bets. Saudi Arabia may be negotiating a separate peace with the Houthis and Iran, which could undermine US sanctions. Additionally, the US controversially rescinded Syria's state sponsor of terror status following the rapid rise of former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Shara. (2)Mary Kissel, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State, analyzes Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, asserting that its success relies on penalizing large Chinesefinancial institutions. However, Beijing holds significant economic and military leverage over the US, including export controls on critical minerals. Regarding North America, Kissel describes the escalating trade war with Canada as a "loser's game" driven by domestic politics. She stresses that the 50% tariffs on essential materials like Canadianaluminum and auto parts disrupt deeply integrated supply chains. Consequently, this trade conflict severely harms ordinary consumers and threatens Republican control of key Senate seats in critical border states of Maine and Michigan. (3)Colonel Jeff McCausland, US Army (Retired) and Visiting Professor at Dickinson College, warns that the US foreign policy process has collapsed under President Trump, who relies on personal loyalty over expert advice. This is illustrated by Trump's sudden decision to reduce joint US-South Korea military exercises without notifying allies. McCausland argues this undercuts South Korea while offering concessions to a nuclear-armed dictator, Kim Jong-un, who actively supplies weapons to Russia for the Ukraine war. Furthermore, he criticizes the "economic D-Day" against Iran as highly insincere given key delays in sanctioning China, and strongly condemns the trade war against Canada, a loyal ally with a rich military history. (4)Gregory Copley, editor of Defense & Foreign Affairs, argues that the US sanctions regime against Iran is strategic signaling that makes Washington look weak, as it ignores China's trade dominance and threatens relations with India. He also views the Canadian trade dispute as a strategic failure that weakens the NORAD treaty and forces Canada to act independently in the Arctic. This unpredictability has alienated European allies, who are now bypassing the US to negotiate directly on Ukraine. Additionally, Copley analyzes post-Petro Colombia, detailing how the energetic new president faces massive domestic security issues, narco-trafficking networks, and the grounding of critical disaster relief aircraft under sanctions. (5)Thaddeus McCotter, former US Representative from Michigan and columnist for American Greatness, details the severe political and economic fallout of Trump's trade war with Canada, noting that insulting rhetoric like the "51st state" remark has politically boosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He explains that border states like Michigan and Maine share deep commercial integration, meaning 50% tariffs will directly harm their local economies. This unvetted policy blindsided senior Republican legislators, including Susan Collins, who openly opposed the tariffs and avoided a campaign rally with Vice President Vance. Ultimately, McCotter warns that these tariffs jeopardize critical Senate seats in highly contested swing states, giving rival Democrats a very major campaign advantage. (6)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections.

Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics. (7)Note: segment 7 came with a separate co-host block for McCotter, so I've folded his critique into the single paragraph after Dempsey's material — flag me if you'd rather run his commentary as its own standalone file.
