Kia ora,Welcome to Monday'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.And today we lead with news - despite the US tariff news flooding the zone - the rest of the world economy is find a way to carry on.But first we should note that a 15% tariff deal seems to have been concluded between the EU and the US but one that excludes drugs and aluminium. It looks very like the Japanese deal. And the tariff tussle between China and the US looks like it has been extended another 90 days. The pressure will be on European and Japanese companies to become 15% more efficient, but US companies will relax, allowed to be 15% less efficient in their home markets. In the intermediate term this won't be good for global US competitiveness.In a look ahead this coming week, we will get our usual New Zealand monthly business and consumer sentiment survey updates. And our big end-of-month data dump from the RBNZ accentuated because it is end of quarter data. In Australia, it will be all about retail trade and inflation metrics.And Wall Street will be very busy with many more large companies releasing earnings.But the big interest rate influence will be from the central bank decisions from the US (no change expected), Japan (no change), and Canada (also no change). In all three cases the real interest will be on their commentary.Underlying all this will be July PMIs from most major economies, plus more Q2 GDP data, and many inflation updates.Over the weekend China released industrial profits data to June. They reported another slide, down -4.3% from June a year ago, the second straight monthly decline, amid persistent deflation pressures and growing trade uncertainty. State-owned enterprises experienced steeper losses while profit growth in the private sector slowed markedly. Profit gains were recorded in many sectors but one interesting one was in agriculture where profits were up more than +20%.In Russia, and as expected, they cut their policy rate by -200 bps to 18%. They signaled another cut is likely in 2025. They see disinflation on the rise, and household consumption lower. Part of that is due to the size of the diaspora of working aged men trying to avoid the death trap of the attempted invasion of Ukraine.In Europe, the ECB's survey of professional forecasters shows they don't expect much change in the coming year with things constrained by trade questions. They see inflation easing slightly, mainly due to the tariff effects, but GDP growth slightly stronger in the short term.The Ifo Business Climate Index for Germany edged up in July from June, to the highest level since May 2024. But the report was still full of cautious sentiment.In the US and as expected durable goods orders fell back in June after the May spike. Apart from the aircraft and defense sectors, it remained pretty ho-hum. New orders rose just +0.1%. Non-defense non-aircraft orders for capital goods fell when a rise was anticipated.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.39%, unchanged from Saturday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,336/oz, down -US$2 from Saturday.American oil prices have stayed softish at just on US$65/bbl with the international Brent price is still at just under US$68.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.2 USc and up +10 bps from Saturday and up almost +½c from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.6 AUc. Against the euro we are stable at 51.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.7, unchanged from Saturday but up +20 bps from a week ago.The bitcoin price starts today at US$119,210 and up +2.4% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just on +/-0.7%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Summary: How do Aba aba make more Aba aba? Join Kiersten to find out about the reproductive behavior of Gymnarchus niloticus. For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean Show Notes: “Abundance, Distribution, Morphometric, Feeding Evaluation and the Reproductive Strategies of Gymnarchus niloticus in the Lower River Niger at Agenebode, Edo State Nigeria,” by Mo Agbugui, Fe Abhulimen, and Ao Adeniyi.

Music written and performed by Katherine Camp Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Episode three of Aba aba is here and we are talking about reproduction. The end of episode two hinted at reproduction kicking off with the rainy season so that's where we'll begin. Join me for the third thing I like about Aba abas, reproduction. It all begins when two Aba aba love each other, no really, it all begins with the rainy season. In the continent of Africa many animals rely on the abundance of the rainy season. This season brings rain that is a necessary resource for survival of all living things, as well as flooding the rivers. Flooded rivers overflow into flood plains where food becomes abundant. Terrestrial invertebrates are often caught off guard and drown leaving them to be consumed by aquatic carnivores, like the Aba aba. The Aba aba already lives in the water but when those waters rise nutrients increase and aquatic vegetation gets thicker. Then it's time to start looking for a mate. In studies performed in the Lower River Niger, two breeding peaks were observed. One from May to July, the other from October to January. The breeding behavior of Gymnarchus niloticus is heavily dependent on the flooding of the rivers. Beyond the food resources that increase at this time the aquatic plants that increase are important for the nest making of the Aba aba. Now, the males of the species are the ones that make the nests. This is not uncommon in fish na the Aba aba is no exception. Their nests can be pretty big, but that is not a surprise for a fish that can get 5 feet in length. The male Aba aba makes a nest with uprooted aquatic plants. He pulls up the plants himself and weaves them into a floating nest that can be 1 meter, or 39 inches, in width. The perimeter of the nest is molded with the mud from the roots of the plants. It is expertly woven. It will be anchored to other plants and have an opening through which the male can enter and depart when needed. A little bit of the top of the nest will stick out of the surface of the water. If the nest becomes dislodged the male will remain with it as it floats down the river. Inside the plants the male will create a bubble nest. This portion of the nest is made of air bubbles and this is where the eggs will be nestled. The nest is important for several reasons: The first is to attract a mate. The ladies are attracted by large, well made nests, so the gentlemen will take their time picking the right plants for just the right nest. A few studies have indicated that they prefer plants in Family Poaceae, which are the grasses. The oblong leaves of the grass are perfect for weaving. We have to remember that this animal is weaving a nest. An animal that has no hands is weaving a nest. How extraordinary it that! The second reason the nest is important is that this is where the eggs will be hidden and held until they hatch. Eggs are between 7mm-8mm, some papers have even said 10mm. That is a very large fish egg. Once the eggs are in the nest and fertilized, the male aggressively protects the nest from all predators. It will not hesitate to attack any living thing that comes near, including humans. These guys have no fear, especially when protecting their young. As I mentioned before, the nest have an opening for the Aba aba to enter and leave. When they are inside the nest, the male has been seen agitating the water around the eggs. We are not sure why they do this, but it could be to make sure the eggs are well oxygenated and/or keeping the eggs clean of debris. Either way the male is doing a great job keeping the eggs healthy. I did not find any reference to how long it takes the Aba aba fry, that's right baby fish are called fry, to hatch and leave the nest. They will remain in the nest until the yolk is completely absorbed. Until then they are vulnerable to predation and they will stay in the nest under papa's protection. The fry have long gills to help absorb oxygen from the water, but will also gulp air from the center of the nest as well. How many eggs are we talking about here? Good question! I love it when you think ahead listeners. Females can lay 800-1000 eggs in a nest. That is a lot a fry to keep track of, but it's actually a low number compared to other species of fish. Aba aba seem to put more energy into larger, but fewer eggs, and more parental involvement to ensure future generations' survival. I could not find any information about how many nests a female will visit in one breeding season. This may be due to the fact that it is difficult to follow them in the rivers where they live, especially during the rainy season when sediment is stirred and flowing freely in the rivers, or it could be that no one has pursued this avenue of study. Male and females both have singular reproduction organs. The males have a single testis and the females have a single ovary. This probably limits the amount of eggs they can lay and fertilize. Aba abas will complete this reproductive cycle twice a year in the wild following the rainy seasons. In captivity, it may be a different story. The Aba aba I worked with at the zoo was a male. We know this because we gave him enrichment toys such as weighted pool toys and copious amounts of plastic aquatic plants. The only thing he ever did with them was make a floating nest. He would weave the plants together and then shove the pool toys up inside the nest. Sometimes he used the nest like a hammock. Just relaxing inside it and not moving at all. Several times he gave me gave me heart palpitations as I thought he was dead, but it was just one more thing that made me like him. I'm so happy you joined me for episode three of Aba abas because my third favorite thing about them is their reproductive behaviors. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change. Join me next week for another exciting episode about the Aba aba.

But in 1861, the worst floods in state history turned the Willamette Valley into one giant half-million-acre lake and swept several burgeoning towns away. And, despite our flood-control dams, someday it will probably happen again. (Willamette Valley; 1860s, 1890s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1704c.willamette-floods-1894-1861-439.html)
In this powerful and prophetic episode, we dive into the truth that some floods are intentional. They're not punishment—they're preparation. God uses overwhelming seasons to remove what's been blocking your breakthrough: emotional weights, false identities, fear, and compromise. You'll discover how to partner with the flood, be flooded with light, and take the stance that positions you to cross over into promise.
Do you think the Government and councils would be “morally bankrupt” if they stopped paying people out when their properties are so flood-damaged that they can't live there anymore? And would you feel the same about people living in areas at risk of flooding being forced to pay more for flood schemes and sea walls because they're the ones who benefit most? That's what a panel of experts is recommending to the Government. But a climate policy expert is saying that would be, you guessed it, “morally bankrupt”. And I agree. What's more, I think this approach would let councils off the hook for allowing places to be built in crazy, at-risk locations. What's happened, is an independent reference group set up by the Ministry for the Environment has come up with a list of recommendations to help the Government work on some climate adaptation legislation. Adaptation being what you do when something like climate change and sea-level rise threatens to take-out an area. This group is made up of economists, people from the banking and insurance sectors, local government and iwi. So a wide range of people. And if I there's an overarching theme to their advice, it would be this: “You're on your own buddy.” And instead of looking to the councils and governments for hand-outs and direction, people should have to decide for themselves if they're going to stay living where they are. And if their properties get flooded and there's no way they can keep on living there, then they shouldn't expect their local council or Wellington to buy them out. Talk about hardcore. Talk about morally bankrupt. This group of experts isn't stopping there, either. It's also saying that, if you live in an area where there is a risk of flooding and things like sea walls and flood schemes are needed, then you and your neighbours should pay more for those things because you're the ones who benefit the most. So, if we apply that to some of the things that have happened here in Canterbury, that would mean people in the Flockton Basin area in Christchurch, paying more for the privilege of living somewhere that used to flood at the drop of a hat. Remember that? And how the council poured truckloads of money into a pumping system that stopped the water overflowing in the Dudley Creek area and flooding the streets and houses? The Christchurch City Council spent $49 million on a flood mitigation scheme in Flockton Basin. Elsewhere in town, it spent about $70 million to deal with flooding issues along the Heathcote River. That included buying-out people's houses. Some friends of mine had their place bought out as part of that scheme. But under these recommendations to the Government, the people in Flockton Basin would be expected to pay more than the rest of us because they're the ones who are benefiting directly from their streets and houses not flooding anymore. Also under these recommendations, my mates wouldn't have their house bought out by the council – even though they can't live there anymore because it keeps flooding I would hate to see us take this approach. Which is why agree with climate policy expert, Emeritus Professor Jonathan Boston from Victoria University, who is saying today that leaving people high and not necessarily dry like this would be “morally bankrupt”. He says: "One of the core responsibilities of any government is to protect its citizens and to deal with natural disasters and so on. That is above almost anything else." He's also criticising this group's recommendation that any changes be phased-in within the next 20 years, saying that the risks and impacts of climate change are going to continue evolving beyond this 20-year deadline. He says to put an end-date on it is "Morally bankrupt and highly undesirable". And, as I say, it would let councils off-the-hook. Because for me, if a council gives consent for something to built somewhere, then that same council needs to carry the can if it turns out that that something is somewhere it shouldn't be.

Podcast with Chris Drake, SVP at iconectiv, hosted by Doug Green, Publisher, Technology Reseller News “Anything that's powerful and transformative, you have to follow the directions.” — Chris Drake, iconectiv In an era where mobile numbers have become not just identifiers but wallets, communication channels, and business platforms, ensuring trust and authenticity in messaging has never been more important. In a timely and in-depth discussion, Chris Drake, Senior Vice President of Corporate and Business Development at iconectiv, joined Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green to explore the emerging role of Rich Business Messaging (RBM) in a world increasingly threatened by AI-driven fraud. From Mobile Vulnerability to Trusted Conversations Chris Drake highlights how the ubiquitous mobile phone number—once just a contact point—has become a rich target for impersonation scams, deepfake fraud, and phishing attacks. RBM, built on the global RCS (Rich Communication Services) standard, offers businesses a secure, multimedia-rich way to communicate with customers while solving for the twin challenges of CX (Customer Experience) and security. Drake explains that RBM delivers interactive, tap-based messaging (like carousels and smart reply buttons), enabling users to easily engage with brands. But the real differentiator lies in the secure onboarding and authentication behind every message. With iconectiv as a trusted vetting authority, senders are cryptographically verified and continuously monitored—ensuring only legitimate entities are allowed to reach consumers via RBM. A New Messaging Paradigm RBM transforms mobile messaging into what Drake calls “conversational commerce.” But with that transformation comes responsibility. Businesses must “use as directed,” meaning onboarding, identity proof, encrypted connections, and authenticated communication paths must be properly implemented. Otherwise, the very tools meant to protect users could be exploited by bad actors. As Drake notes, “RBM brings that sense of legitimacy which is so lacking lately.” It provides a path forward where consumers feel safe engaging, buying, and responding via mobile—and brands can confidently deliver interactive experiences without compromising security. iconectiv's Role iconectiv supports this evolution by offering identity vetting, cryptographic proofs, and continuous monitoring of sender behavior. The company ensures that brands not only enter the RBM ecosystem with integrity—but maintain that integrity over time. Drake emphasizes the importance of ongoing oversight to detect anomalies, malicious links, or reputational issues that may arise after initial onboarding. Conclusion RBM is more than just a messaging upgrade—it's a foundational shift in how businesses communicate in a mobile-first, AI-challenged landscape.

Imagine your brain as a control room. On most days, the switches flick and the dials turn just as they should. But then something small—an unanswered text, a missed deadline, a critical glance—trips the wrong lever. Suddenly, that control room is submerged. The signals blur. The system floods.This week on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki sit down with two returning champions of clarity and compassion: Dr. Sharon Saline and Dr. Dodge Rea. Together, they unravel the hidden mechanics of emotional flooding—not as a character flaw, but as a neurological response shaped by fear, history, and a sometimes-overzealous amygdala.Through stories, science, and metaphor (including rogue trains and Wile E. Coyote's ill-fated cliff dives), they reveal what happens when the ADHD brain short-circuits under pressure—and what we can actually do about it. Along the way, you'll learn how shame disguises itself as control, how the body signals what the mind can't process, and why sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is… go to the bathroom.This is a conversation about reframing of the narrative so many ADHD adults carry with them: that being overwhelmed means being broken. It doesn't. It never did.Links & NotesLearn more about Dr. Sharon Saline: drsharonsaline.comLearn more about Dr. Dodge Rea: dodgerea.comSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to The ADHD Podcast (00:57) - Support the Show: Become a Patron Today https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast (02:38) - Emotional Flooding with Dr. Sharon Saline and Dr. Dodge Rea (21:35) - The Consequences (25:09) - Is Emotional Flooding a sort of Trance?

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, host Bryan welcomes Jeff from Copeland to discuss the critical topic of flooding and slugging in compressors. Jeff, calling in from frigid Minnesota (at negative 19°F), explains the differences between these harmful conditions and how they can damage compressor systems. The conversation begins by differentiating between flood back and flooded starts. Flood back occurs during system operation when control of the evaporator is lost, often due to airflow issues. Flooded starts happen after the system has been off, when refrigerant migrates to the compressor oil. Both conditions can lead to slugging - when liquid refrigerant enters the compression chamber, causing immediate damage to valves and internal components. While flood back and flooded starts may cause gradual damage over time, slugging can break compressor components instantly. Jeff emphasizes that proper superheat levels are essential for compressor health, with most Copeland compressors requiring about 20 degrees of superheat at the compressor suction line. The discussion covers various preventative measures, including pump down systems, properly installed crankcase heaters, and the importance of maintaining appropriate refrigerant charge. Jeff notes that many technicians incorrectly assume crankcase heaters are only needed in cold climates, when they're actually crucial for preventing refrigerant migration in any environment. Key Topics Covered: The difference between flood back (during operation) and flooded starts (when the system restarts) How slugging causes immediate damage to compressors while flooding causes progressive damage The importance of maintaining proper superheat (typically 20 degrees at the compressor) Common causes of flood back: dirty filters, improper airflow, duct problems, and incomplete defrosting How refrigerant is attracted to compressor oil even in vapor form Prevention strategies: pump down systems, proper crankcase heater installation and verification The impact of line sizing and total refrigerant charge on system reliability Why compressors are designed for vapor-in/vapor-out operation, not liquid handling The importance of consulting OEM literature and Copeland resources when troubleshooting Why it's critical to identify and fix the underlying cause before replacing a failed compressor Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

On this episode of the Migration Waterfowl podcast, your host Brian Halbleib talks with Rusty Fix, a seasoned waterfowl hunter from Missouri. Rusty shares his experiences in the fire service and how it affords him ample time for waterfowl hunting and habitat management. He discusses the dynamics of waterfowl hunting, including the importance of habitat management, the impact of weather on migration patterns, and the strategies he employs during hunting season. Rusty emphasizes the significance of understanding pressure in hunting and reflects on the challenges faced by hunters in recent years due to changing conditions. The conversation provides insights into the life of a dedicated waterfowl hunter and the evolving landscape of duck hunting. Rusty also discusses the various factors affecting duck migrations and waterfowl hunting, emphasizing the impact of weather, pressure, and misconceptions about flooded corn. He explains how these elements interact to influence duck populations and waterfowl hunting success, particularly in Missouri. The discussion also touches on the role of conservation efforts in maintaining healthy duck habitats and populations. Takeaways: Rusty has been in the fire service for over 15 years. He manages family wetlands that have been in the family for over 100 years. Rusty splits his hunting time evenly between public and private lands. He emphasizes the importance of habitat management for waterfowl. Weather significantly impacts duck migration patterns and hunting success. Rusty believes in giving hunting areas a seven-day rest to improve success rates. He actively scouts for ducks using technology like OnX. The duck population has been declining, affecting hunting experiences. Rusty shares that pressure from hunters can impact duck behavior. He reflects on the importance of community and family in the hunting experience. Weather significantly influences duck migration patterns. Flooded corn is not a major factor in stopping migrations. Pressure from hunters can lead to ducks avoiding certain areas. Ice eaters are not effective in attracting ducks once ice is thick enough. Missouri's conservation areas play a vital role in supporting duck populations. Ducks prefer refuge areas where they feel safe from hunting pressure. The misconception of short-stopping ducks often oversimplifies the issue. Moist soil is more beneficial for ducks than flooded corn. Duck hunting pressure varies significantly between states like Missouri and Arkansas. Conservation efforts have historically supported duck populations in Missouri.
