With 20% of global LNG flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, even threats of disruption have raised EU gas prices by 20%. Europe's refusal to sign long-term LNG deals or develop local hydrocarbon resources is backfiring. Oil and the security of its supply have stolen the media spotlight in the context of the new Middle East war, and with good reason. Ever since Israel first bombed Iran, diesel prices have soared, jet fuel prices have soared, and importers have been troubled. For Europe, the situation is even worse due to natural gas. Europe has been hurt more than others by the diesel price surge because it has boosted its imports considerably over the past years. About 20% of the diesel Europe consumes comes from imports, and a lot of these imports come from the Middle East. The situation is not much different in jet fuel. Europe depends on imports and a solid chunk of these imports comes from the Middle East. What's true of these essential fuels is doubly true of natural gas—even though direct imports of gas from the Middle East constitute a modest 10% of total imports. Yet they constitute a substantial portion of global gas exports, so any suggestion of disrupted supply affects gas prices in exactly the same way it has affected oil prices—and makes a vital commodity less affordable for Europeans.  Europe needs to refill its gas storage caverns for next winter. Even if it cancels the 90% refill rate requirement, it still needs to buy a lot of gas, most of it on the spot market because of that aversion to long-term gas commitments it believes is part and parcel of the transition effort. And geopolitics has made LNG costlier—which will add billions to the refill bill.

Greg Jenner is joined by Dr Vanessa Heggie and comedian Stu Goldsmith to learn all about the perilous history of Arctic exploration.From the 15th to 20th Centuries, Europeans searched for the Northwest Passage, a supposed seaway between the Atlantic and Pacific through the Arctic Ocean. Indigenous groups had been traversing the passage for centuries, using small skin boats and dog sleds, but from 1497, European expeditions were launched to find and claim it. Most of these ended in failure, with explorers either returning home empty-handed or not returning at all. Some even got completely lost, arriving in Hawaii or North Carolina rather than Canada!In 1845, the most famous Arctic expedition, led by Sir John Franklin, was launched. Within a few months, his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, with their crew of 129 souls, had vanished. It was not until 1906 that a Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, finally navigated the passage. This episode explores the often fatal quest for the Northwest Passage, charting the various expeditions that tried and failed to find and traverse it, uncovering the men who lost their lives looking for it, and asking why Europeans were so keen to explore such a hostile region of the world. And we unravel the mystery of just what happened to John Franklin and his men out there on the ice.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

There was a time in Boréale's (https://www.boreale.com/en) not-so-distant past when they might have released a new beer every other year. The brewery is one of Quebec's oldest craft breweries, dating back to the late 1980s, and over its history it has seen waves and trends come and go. But the changing dynamics of craft brewing in the 2010s posed a different kind of challenge that required a new way to approach innovation and risk-taking. Then head brewer, now vice president of innovation, Gabriel “Gab” Dulong played a big part in that adjustment, getting the brewery into the unfolding world of production-scale hazy IPA in 2016, then pushing hard into nonalcoholic NA beer through the pandemic. Today, the brewery remains one of the largest craft breweries in Quebec—and only in Quebec—producing about 100,000 barrels of beer per year. But innovation is now core to their DNA. In this episode, Dulong discusses: helping an established brewery transition to the market realities of the past decade reorienting to sell on quality and ingredients instead of price point building a new approach to cold-chain storage to properly distribute hazy IPA in Quebec generating internal knowledge in NA brewing developing style-dependent processes for different NA beers experimenting with specialized yeasts before settling on tight processes with standard brewing yeasts building mouthfeel and intensity without alcohol in beer hopping with modern hop products in NA beer malt selection for hazy IPA manipulating final gravity for NA versions of core brands And more.

John joins Paul Coleman, John Steenhof and Kristen Waggoner for a powerful discussion on the state of religious freedom in the West. Together, they explore the rise of hate speech laws, the weaponisation of anti-discrimination regimes, the erosion of conscience rights, and the emergence of a new secular orthodoxy that punishes dissent.

//The Wire//2300Z June 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SCOTUS SIDES WITH TRUMP ON LOWER COURTS ISSUING BLANKET RULINGS. PROTESTS IN EUROPE CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Various demonstrations and protests continue as usual. In Poland, demonstrations were conducted today regarding the migrant crisis, with Poles expressing dissatisfaction with the deportation of migrants to their country.Yesterday a small protest was reported in Ljubljana, Slovenia, following the NATO summit this week. This summit largely did not discuss much of any importance, with the exception of again urging member states to pledge 5% of their defense budget to NATO's collective defense. AC: Demonstrations in eastern European nations often end up being a good barometer for gauging how the east/west dynamic is developing. This time, Slovenians protested against NATO and the United States for a variety of reasons, but mostly due to the recent activities in the Middle East.Middle East: Tensions in Gaza have increased following a report from Israeli media claiming that IDF soldiers were ordered to target civilians seeking food aid. In the report, interviewed IDF soldiers explained the long-standing practices regarding the targeting of civilians, such as the practice of shooting civilians "who appeared to pose no threat".AC: The Israeli Military Advocate General has also ordered an internal investigation into these targeting efforts, and several nations have issued statements of condemnation regarding this practice. These reports come after months of complaints from international aid groups being kinetically targeted throughout the region.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the US Supreme Court issued a few rulings of note. SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump concerning his lawsuit to prevent activist judges from exceeding their jurisdictions to issue rulings more broad than the initial scope of the initial lawsuit. In effect, this means that President Trump's executive order to ban birthright citizenship for illegals and for those on temporary visas is in effect.Similarly, this morning the White House announced that they will be terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of roughly 500,000 Haitian nationals, continuing the efforts from a few months ago to halt/slow immigration from Haiti under humanitarian programs.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The SCOTUS did not address the merits of Trump's birthright citizenship Executive Order itself; this judgement only re-affirmed the long-standing policy of preventing judges from issuing judgements outside their jurisdiction. However, the follow-on effects of this judgement will be interesting to follow as this affects a few hot-button issues that is currently at the heart of American discourse (most notably immigration-related issues).Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Time for another European flavoured Hackaday Podcast this week, as Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List, two writers sweltering in the humidity of a Central European summer. Both of our fans and air conditioners made enough noise to be picked up on the microphone when they were turned on, so we're suffering for your entertainment. The big Hackaday news stories of the week are twofold, firstly a cat-themed set of winners for the 2025 Pet Hacks contest, and then the announcement of a fresh competition: the 2025 Hackaday One Hertz Challenge. Get your once-a-second projects ready! This week gave us a nice pile of interesting hacks, including some next-level work growing and machining the crystal for a home-made Pockels cell light valve, an pcoming technique for glass 3D prints, and enough vulnerabilities to make any Nissan Leaf owner nervous. We note that mechanical 7-segment displays are an arena showing excellent hacks, and we're here for it. Meanwhile among the quick hacks a filament made of PLA with a PETG core caught Elliot's eye, while Jenny was impressed with a beautifully-made paper tape punch. Finally in the can't miss section, The latest in Dan Maloney's Mining and Refining series looks at drilling and blasting. Such an explosive piece should come last, but wait! There's more! Al Williams gives us a potted history of satellite phones, and explains why you don't carry an Iridium in your pocket.

At a time when democracy is under siege from Kremlin-backed strongmen to MAGA disinformation machines, this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show offers much-needed hope. We unpack the NATO summit, celebrate a major grassroots victory in New York City, and also discuss how to contain Russia with security expert Candace Rondeaux, author of Putin's Sledgehammer. First up: NATO is finally stepping up. All member nations, except Spain, have committed 5% of their GDP to defense and security by 2035. Predictably, Trump is already trying to take credit, but this shift isn't about him. It's a direct response to Putin's ongoing war in Ukraine. European leaders have learned how to handle Trump's ego: offering flattery when necessary while quietly strengthening defenses against the very aggression he once downplayed. That's not concession; it's strategic diplomacy. Meanwhile, in New York City, there's real reason to celebrate: Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary for mayor is a major win for grassroots organizing and progressive politics. His campaign, alongside Brad Lander and others, championed public investment, reallocated resources from the NYPD's military-sized budget, and pushed back against Fox News crime porn fearmongering and disinformation. It's a clear signal that authentic, coalition-driven campaigns have the power to break through. Is the Democratic Party establishment listening? And finally, don't miss our powerful conversation with Candace Rondeaux, who outlines how to contain Russian fascism and the ongoing threat of the Wagner Group. As we're always saying at Gaslit Nation: fascists don't stop until they're stopped. Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Welcome to pilot episode, or probably better to call it Episode Zero of EV News China – a limited-run of podcasts I'll be doing from next Monday and then every weekday in July. I'll be sharing insights into China's EV revolution for listeners worldwide. I'm Martyn Lee, and EV News China is not replacing EV News Daily. Let me say first up, I'll be here with the usual global take on the EV industry.  Instead, this will be series of bonus shows, which I hope will be essential listening for anyone interested in, or doing business with, the world's electric vehicle superpower. I wanted to drop a pilot episode to explain my thinking, and what a moment to launch. China has just reached an historic milestone that changes everything in the global automotive industry. In May 2025, plugin electric vehicles captured 53% of China's passenger car market – meaning electric vehicles are now outselling traditional gasoline cars for the first time in history. Think about that for a moment. The world's largest car market has just tipped electric. This isn't a prediction anymore – it's reality. After 7 years of doing this podcast, pretty much every day apart from some breaks when we had two new additions to our family, or some mental health breaks, I've been doing this 7 days a week. And I can't tell you a time when I've been more fascinated about how the rest of the world views the Chinese EV market. And in many cases, how it's still a blind spot for them. The Numbers That Matter Let me put this in perspective with some hard data that business leaders need to understand. Plugin vehicle sales in China topped one million units in May alone – in a market of 1.9 million total passenger vehicles. That breaks down to 31% pure battery electric vehicles and 22% plug-in hybrids and range extenders. For the year so far, China has already sold over 4.3 million plugin vehicles, putting the country on track to exceed 10 million units by year-end – in China alone. To put that in global context, that's more than the rest of the world combined. The leader? BYD dominates with 28.9% of the plugin market, delivering over 376,000 vehicles in May – a 14% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, Tesla's China market share has dropped to just 4.6%, ranking fifth behind Chinese competitors. The Tesla Reality Check Speaking of Tesla, the numbers tell a sobering story for Elon Musk's company in China. Tesla sold about 58,000 vehicles in China during April 2025, down 6% from the previous year. More concerning, Tesla's retail sales to Chinese customers in the first eight weeks of Q2 2025 dropped 23% year-over-year. This reflects a broader trend – Chinese consumers are increasingly choosing domestic brands. Tesla's China market share in the BEV segment fell from 11.15% to 6.36%, while Chinese rivals like XPeng delivered 33,525 vehicles in May, up 230% year-over-year. The Financial Impact The financial implications are staggering. BYD doubled its Q1 2025 net profit to 9.15 billion yuan, with operating revenue reaching 170.36 billion yuan, up from 124.94 billion yuan the previous year. But it's not just about one company. The Chinese EV trio – NIO, XPeng, and Li Auto – are expected to see explosive growth in 2025: NIO deliveries expected to double to 450,000 units XPeng projected to reach 400,000 units, up 110% Li Auto forecasted at 700,000 units, up 40% These aren't small startups anymore – these are major industrial players reshaping global automotive supply chains. The Technology Revolution What's driving this transformation isn't just price – it's technology. Chinese companies are leading in areas that will define the future of mobility. Solid-state batteries are moving from lab to production. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology included all-solid-state batteries in core industrial standards for the first time in 2025, signaling this technology has moved from corporate R&D to national strategic priority. Artificial intelligence integration is accelerating rapidly. Over two dozen Chinese automakers, including BYD, are incorporating DeepSeek AI technology into their vehicles. BYD plans to offer preliminary self-driving capabilities in nearly all its models at no additional cost – making autonomous driving features accessible to mass-market consumers. Ultra-fast charging is becoming standard. Chinese companies like XPeng offer five-minute charging delivering 210 kilometers of range, while the industry moves toward 800V architectures that handle high current flow for rapid charging. Global Trade War Implications But this technological leadership is creating geopolitical tensions. The United States now imposes a 247.5% tariff on Chinese EVs – that's 145% from recent tariffs, plus 100% from Biden-era levies, plus standard duties. Anyone trying to import BYD's $7,800 Seagull to the US would pay an extra $19,300 in tariffs. Europe is taking a different approach, but Chinese brands still doubled their European market share in April 2025 despite tariffs reaching up to 35%. BYD faces a 17% EU tariff, yet still recorded 400% sales growth in the UK, where no tariffs apply. The contrast is stark: in tariff-free markets, Chinese EVs are winning on merit. The Infrastructure Foundation Supporting this EV revolution is massive infrastructure investment. China aims to complete an expressway charging network by end of 2025, with over 5,800 out of 6,000 expressway rest areas already equipped with charging facilities. The government has extended its vehicle trade-in subsidy scheme for 2025, offering up to RMB 20,000 for EV purchases when scrapping older vehicles. This policy has already attracted over 4 million applicants in its first six months. What This Means for Global Business So what does this mean for you – someone who might be an enthusiast of the EV transition, or maybe you work in the business of EVs or charging?  First, China is no longer an emerging EV market – it's the dominant one. Any global automotive strategy that doesn't account for Chinese competition is already obsolete. Second, the technology gap is widening in China's favor. Chinese companies can design and launch new models in six months while German competitors require two years. Third, supply chain dependencies are shifting. China controls a large share of battery-grade chemical production, and Chinese companies are rapidly expanding globally – BYD now operates in over 70 countries. Looking Ahead Over the coming 20 episodes of EV News China, during this limited run of podcasts, we'll dive deeper into these trends. We'll analyze quarterly earnings, decode policy changes, and track the technological innovations reshaping not just China, but the global automotive industry. We'll help you understand what these developments mean for your business, your investments, and your strategic planning. Because in a world where China has achieved 53% EV market share, the question isn't whether electric vehicles will dominate – it's how quickly the rest of the world can adapt. That's all for today's pilot episode of EV News China. Starting Monday, I'll be here every weekday with the latest developments from the world's electric vehicle superpower. Sometimes it will just be a news show, sometimes we'll dive into a specific topic. Remember, EV News China is essential listening for anyone interested in, or doing business with, the world's electric vehicle superpower. 

Stephen Petasky is the founder and CEO of The Luxus Group, a hospitality and development firm specializing in luxury vacation homes, global restorations, and high-end resort communities. Over nearly two decades, he's raised more than $100 million, facilitated 20,000 vacations, and partnered with brands like Four Seasons to deliver premium lifestyle experiences through real estate. His business journey spans from fractional home ownership to international development, all driven by a passion for design, family travel, and scalability.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Stephen started Luxus by solving his own problem—traveling with young kids—and turned that into a $100M global vacation home portfolio. Raising capital gets easier when the investment includes a dual purpose, like lifestyle use alongside financial return. Scaling a business requires building it “back to front”—start with the exit goal, then reverse engineer every step. Real estate and development success takes patience; some ventures took 7–10+ years to turn profitable. Subject matter expertise becomes a valuable asset after years of refinement, leading to higher-impact, lower-risk projects.     Topics How a Personal Travel Need Became a Syndicated Real Estate Venture Started Luxus to create a family-friendly alternative to hotels or inconsistent vacation rentals. Solved the problem of predictability, comfort, and flexibility by imagining ownership of 30 homes—then invited others to co-invest. Raised $3.5M to purchase three homes; word-of-mouth demand led to $100M+ raised and 50 properties acquired. Dual-Purpose Investing: Lifestyle + Returns Investors received lifestyle benefits—discounted nightly rates—alongside capital preservation. These vacation privileges created real financial savings, boosting total return beyond simple IRR metrics. Stephen compares the model to a “golf club that sells at the end”—with liquidity and upside built in. How to Make Raising Capital Easier Dual-purpose investments or vendor-aligned capital (e.g., landowners or contractors investing) make raises more compelling. Giving investors experiential or operational upside increases buy-in—even when the financial returns are moderate. Partnerships built on aligned interests are more resilient over time. Scaling With Clarity and Hindsight Luxus' new business model was built “back to front,” starting with a $100M valuation target and working backward to day one. Planning for bottlenecks—legal, financial, tech, or operational—can reduce future breakdowns. AI tools now help model scalable pathways and highlight structural weak points before launch. New Ventures: Management, Development, and Restorations Luxus now manages luxury short-term rentals it doesn't own, applying hotel-like service and strategy. Stephen is a core partner in the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas ($1.3B sellout). The company also restores centuries-old Tuscan estates for North American and European clients—12 years in, with a waitlist.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we explore 3 Ohio roadside attractions with Backroads flair. When Ohio was still considered the countries frontier, legendary Wyandot leader "Leatherlips" helped broker peace deals with the European settlers. This didnt sit well with his fellow tribesman and would ultimately cost him his life. A striking monument stands today in his memory, evocative of the legendary "Sitting Bull" monument. Overlooking the Scioto Rive in Dublin, Ohio, this limestone monument stands today as a tribute to the legendary warrior chief. Traveling West, is the infamous "Blue Hole" of Castalia. Once rumored to have no bottom, this crystal clear pool dumps millions of gallons into the Sandusky Bay each day. Once attracting over 165,00 people each year, this location was closed in 1990 and is in private hands today. However, similar type pools are located close by that you can visit. You can even win a chance to be one of the lucky few to have a chance to visit the original park. Finally, did you know that Ohio had an amusement park that is only open 4 days a year? It has 2 roller coasters many smaller rides and games. Built by the Stricker family, you can attend (on one of the 4 days, you will have to listen to find out which 4).

It's Thursday, June 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper.  Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America.  Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering)  My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering)   Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor.  President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago.  The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating.  Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25, James in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $50 as well as Stephen in Adrian, Oregon and Mark in Grand Forks, North Dakota–both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Richard in Camden Wyoming, Delaware who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Keith and Nicole in Aiken, South Carolina who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And we were touched by the generosity of Doreen in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Shane in Columbia City, Indiana who $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who, as promised, matched twelve $1,000 donors with his matching gift of $12,000 which has already been incorporated into our previous total. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,375.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $70,908.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise $52,591.45 in just 5 days. That's $10,518.29 per day! We are looking for 9 super donors. Could you give $10,000? Or perhaps you feel the Lord prompting you to become one of 3 businesspeople who could give $5,000? Or one of 5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then, we would need another 6 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.

Updated to include: Iran's stance on renewing talks with the U.S., Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's public appearance, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on South Carolina's effort to defund Planned Parenthood and Israel stopping aid deliveries from entering northern Gaza. Iran looks inward and intensifies an internal security crackdown with mass arrests, executions and military deployments. NATO's European members promise to spend 5% on defense to appease Trump, but can they afford it? U.S. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s newly reorganized vaccine advisory panel threatens to upend vaccine policy, and possibly coverage. And Zohran Mamdani's stunning upset in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary has excited both sides of the political aisle. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here.

US equity futures are higher. European markets opened firmer, while Asian markets were mixed. Trump may announce a replacement for Fed Chair Powell as early as September. Trade developments remain in focus ahead of the 9-Jul deadline; the Trump administration is reportedly close to deals with Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, though major sticking points remain, especially over auto and steel tariffs. White House tweaked controls on ethane exports to China, signaling potential easing of restrictions. Powell noted trade deals may allow future rate cuts while all forecasters see significant increase in inflation.Companies Mentioned: NVIDIA, Microsoft, OpenAI, Paramount Global

Master Gardener Volunteer for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Ulster County, Barbara Bravo, joins the Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley podcast to provide some guidance and ideas. This collection of four previously aired Made in the Shade short segments has been consolidated into a single episode that focuses entirely on shade gardening. The first segment discusses the differences between light shade, partial share and deep shade, some of the advantages of shade gardening, and things to consider when selecting appropriate plants for your garden. Next, learn about Barbara's recommendations for drought-tolerant plants that thrive in dry shade. They are a game-changer for those struggling to cultivate their gardens. Epimedium, brunnera, liriope, hellebores and carex are all options that may work for you. The third segment focuses on the wide range of options available to add some height to a New York shade garden which usually consist of low-growing plants. But structure and interest can be added with a number of shade tolerant plants such as flowering quince, giant fleece flower and goat's beard. Ninebark is one of Barbara's favorites. Typically known as a medium shrub native to the eastern and central United States, there are ninebark cultivars that do well in shade. In addition to being a pollinator favorite, most varieties are drought tolerant too. This episode concludes with a segment on how to add contrast and texture to a summer shade garden. By incorporating plants like Ligularia ‘Britt Marie Crawford', Hakonechloa macra ‘All Gold', Athyrium niponicum, Dryopteris Ferns and others, your shade garden doesn't have to be ‘boring'. Keep it going into the fall with Colchicum autumnale ‘Pleniflorum' a/k/a Autumn Crocus, or Asarum Europa a/k/a European wild ginger. Listen to the possibilities! These tips can help you make a shade garden the focal point of your landscape.

Barings Sees Global Credit Investor Pivot to Europe (Podcast)Demand for European corporate debt is rising as global investors seek to diversify out of US markets, according to Barings, the $442 billion asset manager. “US exceptionalism is a little bit more questioned, investors are increasingly concerned about US economic policy,” Mike Best, a high-yield and senior loan portfolio manager at the firm, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Stephen Flynn in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “That will probably in the near term, create a very strong technical demand for European assets,” says Best, who’s taking more calls from investors seeking exposure to non-US markets. Best and Flynn also discuss risks and constraints in European credit, retail distress, communication sector winners and loser, plus how to trade liability-management exercises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a violent East L.A. childhood under an abusive preacher father to stabbing his dad at 16, Joe's rage fueled over 30 audacious bank heists, outwitting the FBI with disguises and body doubles. Solitary confinement nearly broke him, but a transformative correspondence sparked redemption. Now a writer and Hollywood consultant (Baby Driver, Taken), Joe unpacks trauma, toxic masculinity, and the system's role in crafting criminals. Is his redemption real, or is he a pawn in a larger narrative? GUEST: Joe Loya is a former bank robber turned acclaimed writer and Hollywood consultant. Growing up in East L.A. under a violently abusive Christian minister father, Joe's trauma culminated in stabbing his father at 16, igniting a path to crime. In the late '80s and early '90s, he robbed over 30 banks with cunning disguises and high-speed escapes, earning notoriety as California's most elusive outlaw. After two years in solitary confinement, a correspondence with author Richard Rodriguez sparked his transformation. Loya's memoir, The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell, and his work on films like Baby Driver and Taken showcase his storytelling, rooted in his youth as a Bible preacher. Featured in The Guardian and CNN, Joe's journey from rage to redemption raises questions about trauma, criminality, and the system's role in shaping both. Joe's remarkable story is the subject of  Season Four of the podcast series, The Burden:  Get the Moey and Run.   WEBSITE: https://www.joeloya.ltd BOOK:The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell Learn more about your ad choices.
