Nobody talks about Sudan. Focusing on truth will always lead to good things. Increasing the people's knowledge is the key. Lots of taxpayer money goes to stabilize the world. The way this money is used is always suspect. How important is Sudan? Both the ICC and the UN make moves to control it's shores. And Russia needed a port, so they're involved in a big way. Sudan had many assets like gold, water, oil and farmland. Did we mention Niobium? Why do the people have nothing? Average age is 19. Who decided Africa would stay hungry? How do you make foreign aid work. Cindy McCain is finally out. Sieges, war and starving masses. The international community ignores it all. The British structure was designed to extract resources. Export corridors are called development. Keeping them hungry enough to manage. 85 billion in food imports annually. 60% of our planet's farm ready land is in Africa. It's a dirty guns for gold operation. The UAE is evil. Some of this was on Hunter's laptop. Beijing holds a lien on Sudan's production capacity. Do we have the will to change? A double win is within reach. It seems impossible to believe, but our country's future is closely tied to Africa.

As global oil prices continue to climb, crude oil supplies from Iraq and Kuwait could stop shipping within days if travel through the Strait of Hormuz remains virtually halted. Plus, China cuts its economic growth forecast to the lowest level since 1991.

The medicinal cannabis industry could be worth billions of dollars to the country in the not-so-distant future, if regulation's improved. ACT leader David Seymour says he's looking at further improvements to speed up processing for exports of the plant. He's open to improving regulation domestically as well. Co-founder of NUBU Pharmaceuticals Mark Dye told Kerre Woodham New Zealand was one of the first countries to start cultivating cannabis for medical use. He says the sooner we lean into it, and back it, the sooner New Zealand could become known one of the best cannabis growing regions in the world.

New Zealand's exports are booming, driven by rising global demand for food. New trade figures show exports surged to $29.2 billion dollars in the December quarter – up $2.2 billion on a year earlier. Two-way trade also leapt to just over $61 billion. Business NZ CEO Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking the country produces enough food to feed around 50 million people. She says these products need to be sold for the highest value possible, which is what we're seeing for meat. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora. Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news both China and the US have parallel PMI surveys and this month each told wildly different stories about how their February economies were tracking. But first, after flat-lining in each of the past four week, US mortgage applications rose notably last week, driven by strong refi activity, covering continuing weak new home purchase applications. The US ADP employment report shows a gain of +63,000 jobs in February, the most since July, following a downwardly revised +11,000 rise in January. Analysts were anticipating a gain of +50,000. But all the gains were in the education and health sectors, and only in small (sub 20 employee) companies. As a result, the data shows data shows no widespread pay benefit from changing jobs. In fact, the pay premium for switching employers hit a record low in February. The ISM February services PMI for the US expanded more than expected to its best level since July 2022 with gains in all subcategories. Meanwhile the parallel S&P Global/Markit services told a quite different story, with the expansion in that sector falling to its lowest level since April 2025 amid a weaker rise in sales. In Taiwan, their exporting miracle has extended with export orders soaring +60% to a new record of US$77 bln in January, besting market expectations of a +51% surge and accelerating from a +44% gain in December. Yes, electronics drove the rise, but they also had strong rises in chemicals, textiles, and metals. Orders poured in from the US, the EU and from China. Export orders a year ago at US$48 bln were not weak, so this is truly an astounding trend. In China, their official February PMI's were dour affairs, even for them. Both the factory and service sector reports revealed contractions in the month, the factory sector worse than in January, their services sector a slightly less contraction than in the previous month. But in complete contrast, the private S&P Global/RatingDog surveys found something different, strong expansions in both sectors. New orders drove the factory one to its best expansion in five years, they say. and new business drove their services expansion to its fastest pace in nearly three years. In Europe, producer prices rose quite sharply in January from December, but most of that was retracing a sharp December fall. Year-on-year they are down -2.1% although most of that fall was earlier in the year. Australia reported that its economic activity rose +2.6% in Q4-2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Analysts had expected it to rise +2.2% on that basis, so it was a very positive outcome. GDP per capita increased for the fourth consecutive quarter and is now +0.9% higher than a year ago, the highest year-on-year growth since December 2022. For the full 2025, this is +2.0% (real) higher than calendar 2024. Compensation of employees rose +6.5% in the year. The household saving to income ratio increased to 6.9%, up from 6.1% in the September quarter. This ratio is now at its highest level since the September quarter 2022. All this data is 'real' after inflation. And we should note that the aluminium price surged overnight as Persian Gulf refineries declared force majeure on their orders due to the US/Israeli attacks in the area and Iran's response. The same tensions are forcing up fertiliser prices sharply. Urea prices have jumped +11% in one day. Australia imports two thirds of its urea from the Middle-East. The same ratio applies to New Zealand. And despite the "Trump guarantee" and promises of naval protection, if you can get it, insurance costs for shipping in the Persian Gulf has soared by +1300%. Insurers are completely dismissing Trump's 'promises'. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.08%, up +2 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$30 from yesterday at US$5147/oz. Silver is up +US$1 at US$84/oz today. American oil prices are down -US$2 at just over US$74/bbl, while the international Brent price is up the same to be now just over US$81/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is up +50 bps against the USD from yesterday, now just on 59.3 USc. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 83.9 AUc. We are up +40 bps against the yen. Against the euro we are up +30 bps at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today up +40 bps, now just on 62.9. The bitcoin price starts today at US$73,236 and up +8.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very high at just on +/- 4.0%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

New Zealand's export boom is accelerating. New international trade figures show exports climbed to $29.2 billion in the December quarter - up $2.2 billion on a year earlier. Two-way trade also jumped to just over $61 billion. Trade Minister Todd McClay told Ryan Bridge dairy is performing strongly, with meat exports up a remarkable 21%. He says growth has soared with countries we have free trade agreements with, like the EU, UK, and Australia. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bonjour, listener! Comment allez-vous? On this magnifique episode of Baconsale, messieurs Joel, Kent, and Zack will be sharing their thoughts on French pop culture. We also have a, how do you say, special guest joining us here in the La Maison de Bacon. Our bonne amie Babs will assist us with our pronunciations and share some personal experiences about her time living in France. Also, we will be giving answers for such categories as Cinema Vérité (excellent films), A Voice that Brings Me Joie de Vivre, Encore for this Export, An Invention with Savoir-Faire, Bon Appétit (good food), Faux Pas Cuisine (bad food), and My Dream Bon Voyage! There will be plenty of poor attempts at French accents, but we'll try to avoid clichés as we converse about bread, cheat to find loopholes, and discover what isn't actually French.   Are you ready to press play? Oui? Then allons-y!

Today's story: When a Canadian producer pitched a TV adaptation of a gay hockey romance novel, major U.S. streamers hesitated. It was about a niche sport, featured explicit same-sex scenes, and was based on a romance novel. But a smaller Canadian platform took a chance on the story, and the series became a massive hit in Canada and around the world. Its success surprised everyone. But the clues to its success were there all along.

Clinicians saying they love your product doesn't mean hospitals will adopt it — and that gap is where clinician-led MedTech companies burn cash and lose momentum.In this episode, Hakeem is joined by Mark Tudor (20+ years in commercial leadership and advisory roles in medical devices) to break down why technically strong products stall after launch, how hospitals really decide what to buy, and how to build the commercial foundations that drive adoption, sales, and export readiness.Learn why commercial planning must run in parallel with product and regulatory workUnderstand what hospitals actually buy (risk management, simplicity, and economic clarity — not “better performance”)Get a practical lens for stakeholder mapping, validation beyond friendly opinions, and avoiding “inventor syndrome”Helping clinicians simplify their go-to-market strategy so they can stop guessing and turn their working prototypes into international MedTech businesses.Decision point scenario: You're advising a clinician founder with regulatory approval, two pilot sites, one keen-but-unproven distributor, limited runway, and 90 days before board pressure. You can only prioritise one focus — what do you choose and why?

It feels like the golden days for dairy farmers as they celebrate a record-breaking year. Dairy NZ's annual state of the dairy nation report shows farmers produced an unprecedented 21 billion litres of milk in the 2024/2025 season. The sector smashed export records – raking in more than $27 billion. Dairy NZ Chief Executive Campbell Parker told Mike Hosking it reflects the good work farmers have done over a long time. He says this injection into the economy can be invested back, meaning it's especially good for New Zealand. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe's Premium Subscription: www.standardgrain.comGrain Markets and Other Stuff Links —Apple PodcastsSpotifyTikTokYouTubeFutures and options trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.Trade drama is back in the headlines. President Trump is threatening higher tariffs on countries that fail to honor trade agreements. Following last week's Supreme Court ruling, the EU announced it would pause ratification of its agreement, while India is deferring talks on its own deal. Despite the legal setback, the White House says it remains committed to its trade agenda and is exploring alternative tools to implement tariffs. Markets clearly reacted to the renewed uncertainty, with stocks under pressure to start the week.Grain markets felt the ripple effects. Soybean and wheat futures moved lower Monday as traders weighed the potential impact of trade disruptions and retaliation tied to the newly announced 15% global tariff. Corn futures, meanwhile, managed to hold steady. When policy uncertainty rises, volatility often follows — and that theme remains firmly in play.Export data offered a few surprises. US corn shipments exceeded expectations for the third straight week, posting a very strong year-over-year gain. Wheat inspections also came in above trade guesses. Soybean shipments, however, disappointed and continue to reflect uneven demand patterns. China remained a major buyer, accounting for roughly half of weekly inspections.USDA also reported a fresh flash sale of corn to Colombia, adding to an already solid sales pace this marketing year. Demand for US corn has been a notable bright spot recently, especially when compared to other segments of the export complex.Weather and field conditions remain a major talking point in South America. Brazil's soybean harvest is advancing at its slowest pace in several years, with rains and longer crop cycles creating delays. Planting progress for Brazil's second corn crop is also lagging last year's pace, which could become increasingly important for global feed grain supply expectations.Outside of grains, US consumers continue to show remarkable resilience in the face of high beef prices. Despite record price levels, demand remains strong as buyers adapt by shifting toward more affordable cuts and smaller portions. The protein story remains a powerful force across the broader agricultural landscape.As always, volatility, policy, and global production trends remain key market drivers.

China has announced export control measures against 20 Japanese entities involved in boosting Japan's military capabilities.

Joe's Premium Subscription: www.standardgrain.comGrain Markets and Other Stuff Links —Apple PodcastsSpotifyTikTokYouTubeFutures and options trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.Soybean markets started the week wrestling with fresh tariff drama. The Supreme Court struck down the administration's prior global tariffs, ruling that the use of emergency powers was unlawful. Shortly afterward, the White House announced a new blanket tariff approach, creating another wave of uncertainty across financial and commodity markets. The key question for agriculture remains unchanged: how will this impact trade flows and demand, particularly from China? Earlier signals pointed toward stronger soybean buying interest, but policy volatility continues to cloud the outlook.Meanwhile, USDA is preparing to roll out a major round of farm assistance through the Farmer Bridge Assistance program. The application window opens today, with payments expected to move quickly. Market participants will be watching closely to see how the agency handles what could be a surge in producer enrollment. The program arrives at a time when farm margins remain under pressure and policy uncertainty is elevated.Export demand signals were mixed in the latest weekly data. Corn demand continues to hold up relatively well despite some week-to-week variability, while soybean and wheat sales showed uneven momentum. Traders remain highly sensitive to shifts in global demand and competitiveness.The latest Commitment of Traders report showed funds adding to positions across the grain complex, with soybeans drawing particular attention. Positioning trends remain an important driver of short-term price movement, especially in an environment dominated by macro headlines.In livestock, the latest Cattle on Feed report landed near expectations and was generally viewed as neutral. While placements data offered some supportive elements, the overall numbers did not point to a major shift in supply outlook.Lots to unpack this week as markets digest policy developments, demand signals, and fund activity. Stay tuned.

Today's episode breaks down Christian Briggs' Part One of his policy paper, arguing that China is running a two-front campaign aimed at weakening U.S. power: a global banking machine and a chokehold on critical minerals.lays out a blunt warning: China is executing a coordinated, two-pronged operation to collapse American leverage—without firing a shot. The first weapon is finance. The second is resources. And both are aimed straight at dollar dominance, U.S. sovereignty, and national security.Part One of the policy paper argues that Chinese state-controlled mega-banks—sitting on $23+ trillion in assets—aren't “banks” in the Western sense. They're arms of the CCP, deployed across 40+ countries to bankroll Belt & Road expansion, lock nations into Beijing-controlled debt relationships, and build the plumbing for a post-dollar world through alternative settlement systems. The podcast stresses that China's banking reach in Latin America and the Caribbean, plus infrastructure positioning near the Panama Canal, isn't business—it's strategic encirclement of the Western Hemisphere.Then comes the chokehold: critical minerals. The episode claims China has monopolized the materials that power everything America needs to function—defense systems, AI hardware, clean energy, advanced manufacturing—with dominance that reaches near-total control in rare-earth processing and permanent magnets. Export controls aren't “trade policy.” They're resource warfare, a warning shot that says: We control the inputs. You don't.The podcast doesn't mince words about how we got here: while China declared minerals strategic, restricted foreign involvement, and built industrial capacity, the U.S. allegedly regulated itself into dependence—outsourcing the supply chain to an adversary.Now Washington is scrambling. The paper frames late-2025/early-2026 moves as a reboot of the 1974 petrodollar playbook—but updated into a “mineral dollar” strategy: build a minerals security bloc (a “minerals NATO”), force alignment, and use commodity control to prop up the dollar as the old system weakens. Even gold's absence from the critical list is portrayed as intentional sequencing, not an oversight.Bottom line: China's checkmate is already on the board. The only question is whether America wakes up before the embargoes—and the dollar shock—hit.

Ai for fun and proffit Using AI for Fun and Profit | Episode 588 Good morning. It's 37 degrees on Valentine's Day. Hopefully you remembered to plan something for your significant other — unlike me, who accidentally requested off the 15th instead of the 14th. Today we're talking about using AI — ChatGPT, Suno, and others — for fun and profit. You don't have to use one specific tool. They all have strengths and weaknesses. They're only getting better. And if you're not learning how to use them, you're falling behind. This episode is about how I actually use AI in real life — for the podcast, for creativity, for fitness tracking, for health data, and even for analyzing DNA. And yes — without AI, this podcast wouldn't be happening daily. Transcription(base) AI Theme Songs and Creative Leverage For years I used “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones as intro music. YouTube hated it. Copyright flags. Monetization issues. Headaches. Now I use Suno AI to generate custom theme songs. I can spin up a holiday-specific intro or a tools-themed metal jam in minutes. That simply wasn't possible before unless you had real money to hire an artist. And it's not just podcast music. Back in the day, you'd make a mixtape for someone you liked. Cassette. Burned CD. Carefully curated songs. Now? I can write my wife a custom bubblegum-themed romantic parody song in under a minute while sitting at work. That level of creative leverage didn't exist before. How AI Runs This Podcast Behind the Scenes Here's where it really gets practical. I use ChatGPT to: Generate topic lists (hit or miss — but great for idea sparks) Help outline research and talking points Convert podcast transcripts into blog posts Create tailored thumbnails for each episode After recording, I run a transcription plugin in Audacity. Export it. Feed it to ChatGPT. It crafts the blog post that matches exactly what I said. Back in the day, making a thumbnail meant: Searching Creative Commons images Verifying licenses Editing in Photoshop Formatting text manually That could take an hour per episode. Now? Seconds. That alone is game-changing. Editing, Transcription, and Efficiency Sometimes the transcription plugin fails. When that happens, I use Descript, which has AI filters that can remove filler words like “um” and “like.” It's powerful. It costs money at scale. If the show budget explodes someday, that's one of the first upgrades I'd bring in. But even with free tools, the efficiency gain is massive. AI doesn't replace me. It removes friction. Fitness Tracking and TRT Logging This is where it gets interesting. I use ChatGPT to track my TRT injections — site rotation, dosage, symptoms. I log: 50mg testosterone left hip 25mg NPP ventral glute Symptoms, mood, energy levels Some days I forget where I'm supposed to inject next. I ask. It reviews my logs and tells me. It's not medical advice. It's structured journaling. And when I eventually see a rheumatologist for chronic fatigue and pain, I'll walk in with a detailed record of everything I've tried and how I felt. That's powerful leverage. DNA Analysis and Supplement Guessing You can download raw DNA data, convert it into a readable format, and upload it for analysis. You can ask: Is this supplement a good fit for my DNA? Do I have methylation issues? What should I avoid? Is it perfect? Probably not.Is it fun and insightful? Absolutely. AI is very good at pattern recognition and extrapolation. You just have to remember it's not a doctor. Final Thoughts AI isn't magic. It's leverage. It saves time. It expands creativity. It reduces friction. It helps organize chaos. You don't need to build an AI startup. But if you're not using these tools to streamline your life, your business, your health tracking, your creative output — you're leaving value on the table.

Wat zit er in vandaag in De 7? Om beter te kunnen concurreren met de rest van de wereld wil Europa grotere bedrijfsfusies toestaan. Zo moeten er een paar 'Europese kampioenen' ontstaan. Gaat dat werken? De Belgische export is voor het derde jaar op rij gedaald. Er worden vooral minder coronavaccins geëxporteerd en ook de uitvoer naar de VS valt terug. Na een paar stille jaren investeert China opnieuw recordbedragen in z'n Nieuwe Zijderoute. Met alternatieve handelsbestemmingen, weg van Europa. Onze datajournalist legt uit waarom.

Il target di ricavi dal ticketing è fissato oltre i 200 milioni di €.Fisco e NormativaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa * Concordato Fiscale 2026-2027: Il Governo lavora a nuovi incentivi per sedurre i 2,2 milioni di Partite IVA rimaste fuori dalla prima edizione. L'obiettivo è ampliare la fascia di reddito soggetta all'aliquota IRPEF del 33% fino a 60.000 € (attuale soglia 50.000 €). * Lotta all'Evasione: Nel 2024 il recupero ha superato il record di 31 miliardi di €. Resta però un tax gap stimato di 90 miliardi di €, IVA esclusa. * Rottamazione Quinquies: Fissata la scadenza del 30 aprile per aderire alla sanatoria delle cartelle relative al periodo 2000-2023. Si stima un incasso di 13 miliardi di € in dieci anni.Banche e CreditoTestate: Il Messaggero, La Stampa * Liquidità BCE: Mossa dell'Eurotower per rafforzare l'Euro fornendo liquidità a tutte le banche centrali per fronteggiare la volatilità dei mercati. * Extra-profitti: Il vice-premier Salvini torna a proporre l'uso di una parte degli utili bancari (stimati in 28 miliardi di € nel 2025) per ridurre le bollette di luce e gas.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Messaggero * Decreto Energia: Atteso in CdM mercoledì 18 febbraio. Previsto un bonus una tantum di 90 € per le fasce fragili (stanziamento di 315 milioni di €). * Nodo ETS: Il Governo punta a sterilizzare l'impatto dei costi della CO2 (ETS) sul prezzo dell'energia, con un potenziale risparmio fino a 30 €/MWh, ma la misura rischia il veto di Bruxelles. * Relazioni USA-UE: La Premier Meloni conferma la partecipazione dell'Italia come osservatore al Board per Gaza alla Casa Bianca. Restano tensioni sulla cultura "MAGA" e sui possibili dazi americani.Sport Business & MediaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica * Caos RAI Sport: Auro Bulbarelli sostituirà il direttore Paolo Petrecca per la telecronaca della cerimonia di chiusura delle Olimpiadi (22 febbraio) dopo le gaffe dell'inaugurazione. * Gestione Rai: Faro del CdA sulle spese di RaiSport, con collaborazioni esterne salite da 1,7 a 2,3 milioni di € nel 2025.Lavoro, Formazione e SanitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa * Riforma Istituti Tecnici: Al via da settembre 2026 i nuovi moduli basati sul PNRR, con focus su economia e tecnologia-ambiente.

Industrial policy debates around critical metals continue to rage in national and financial capitals. What works best? Price floors? Export controls? Tariffs? A mixture? I wanted to flesh out these and other questions with two individuals that have been steeped in the policy and financial questions that the markets are struggling to answer: Arnab Datta and Alex Turnbull. Arnab is the Managing Director of Policy Implementation at Employ America and Alex is a well-known investor and researcher in the energy transition ecosystem. After getting their thoughts on the general state of play in the critical metals markets, we delve into price floors, the proper balance between the public and private sector, cost of capital, the MP Materials deal challenges, and what the next five years might look like.As a reminder we do mention companies in this episode so please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. If you enjoyed this discussion, please share it far and wide and don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen. Thanks again and we'll see you next time.

Farmer sentiment dropped sharply to start 2026, reflecting growing economic concerns across U.S. agriculture. But beyond the headline decline in the Purdue/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer, this episode focuses on what the shift signals for farm financial stress, investment decisions, and risk management in the year ahead. In this Purdue Commercial AgCast episode, Michael Langemeier reviews the January survey results and explains the forces behind the drop in producer sentiment. Financial pressure appears to be building, as more producers report tighter cash flow, increased operating loan needs, and a growing share of loans tied to unpaid carryover debt. At the same time, machinery investment plans are slowing, and more farmers expect challenging conditions for U.S. agriculture over the next five years. Export concerns—especially related to soybean competitiveness with Brazil—also weighed on expectations. While short-term farmland value expectations remain steady, strong land values are supporting balance sheets even as margins stay tight due to high input costs and lower output prices. The episode highlights the contrast between stable asset values and stressed cash flow, a key theme shaping the farm financial outlook. This discussion goes beyond the numbers to focus on the implications for farm businesses and what producers should be watching as 2026 unfolds. Full Ag Economy Barometer report:

We dive into what Robert Monroe wrote in his book Ultimate Journey about what the highly sought after human export is that so desirable in the universe. Spoiler: it is not what you're probably thinking. We dive further into the third book in his series on his own out of body experiences and the great pieces of information he learned through his travels. Robert Monroe started The Monroe Institute and was one of the earliest proponents of trying to help people understand and experience out of body states or what he calls the nonphysical. You can listen to his mediation programs or visit the institute to learn these techniques. There is a lot of speculation and unfortunate conspiracy theories surrounding some of his ideas and information which he wrote about. He was indeed a pioneer.
