Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Canada's Sold Its Gold Canada is the only G7 country whose Central Bank doesn ‘t have any significant gold reserves. Both conservative and Liberal governments in the 80's and 90's sold off the majority of our gold stockpile, using the rationale that it was a loser, and they wanted to put the proceeds into more productive assets. Their major selling came at a time when gold was trading around $400 an ounce. Today gold prices are 10 times higher. Sadly the proceeds financed more spending.

La reducción de costes y la inteligencia artificial provocan un aumento histórico de los despidos previstos por las empresas de Estados Unidos. Se disparan un 183%, según la consultora Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Además, las pequeñas empresas frenan la contratación. Esta es una de las referencias del día al otro lado del Atlántico. Los futuros sobre sus índices adelantan suaves subidas en la apertura. En los europeos se dejan ver caídas por el nerviosismo en sector tecnológico. El desplome del 11% en la empresa francesa de equipos para centros de datos Legrand se suma a las recientes preocupaciones por las altísimas valoraciones. Commerzbank lastra al sector bancario. En materia monetaria, reunión del Banco de Inglaterra. De todos los bancos centrales del G7 es, posiblemente, el que se encuentra en una posición más delicada. Ha votado 5 votos contra 4 a favor de mantener tipo de interés en el 4%. El Gobernador Bailey está entre los partidarios de no tocar tasas. Pero ha sido el único de los cinco que considera que los riesgo de inflación han disminuido. Puede cambiar de bando enseguida. Analizamos el mercado con Pedro del Pozo, de Mutualidad.

00:00 – Intro & Banter DJz and Griffin open with a lighthearted “yo” exchange before diving into the day's topic: the November Arc Launch. 02:30 – Outpost Overview & Patch Notes DJz confirms the new Outpost Exchange Material Refinery and material generators—now offering three upgrade brackets instead of two. 05:00 – Material Generators & Scaling Discussion of G5–G7 sourcing, how early-tier players benefit immediately, and why high-tier (G7) players face longer roads. 06:45 – Outpost Fleet Slots Correction DJz admits his earlier info was off: the fourth ship slot won't arrive this month, only two at level 1 and a third unlocked at level 40. 08:30 – Upgrade Value & Player Expectations They predict most players will reach levels 15–20 early, with strong emphasis on the building's buffs and resource bonuses. 09:50 – How Retaliation Targets Work Explaining the new “retaliation target” type—distinct from hostiles or armadas. Only generic officers (e.g., Khan, Nero, Gorkon) will work. 11:00 – Crewing Strategies & Classic Combos Old-school crews like Kirk/Spock/Yuki resurface. Voyager crews, strike teams, and others won't trigger their abilities here. 12:45 – Outpost Mechanics Explained Players use two ships to seize an outpost, then defend it from 72 retaliation waves (five minutes apart) over about five hours. 16:00 – Passive vs. Active Gameplay The defense runs automatically—no need to trigger waves manually. Buffs can be activated mid-battle for stat boosts or mining bonuses. 19:00 – Buff Currency & Strategy Rewards go directly to inventory, not cargo. Players can bank currency for future runs to maximize buffs on the next outpost. 22:00 – Outpost Buff Types & Factions Each target faction (Cardassian, Borg, Node) offers unique buff categories—PvE, utility, and PvP respectively. 25:00 – Leaving or Losing Outposts Leaving ends your buffs immediately. Arena transfers or incursions also break outpost control; the veil and territories are safe. 29:00 – Start Timer Change & QA Notes Community discovers a 3-minute start timer instead of 1; DJz says it adds strategy but invites more PvP risk. Griffin reports a live bug: Away Teams are currently broken. 30:30 – Officer Discussion: Nog Nog's debut ties to his father Rom's legacy. DJz praises the lore while admitting limited gameplay utility unless base-raiding improves. 33:40 – Officer Discussion: The Hierarch Introduces “Carol Freeman 2.0?”—potentially a PvP counter, though effectiveness depends on high tiers. Artwork and narrative praised. 38:30 – New Max Ship XP Button (QoL Update) They test the new instant-max feature: convenient for scrapping but risky for free-to-play players due to auto-Latinum use. 44:50 – Who Benefits Most from Max-All Ideal for heavy spenders; free players must be cautious. Some want sliders added for smaller upgrades during events. 45:50 – Weekly Mission Rollouts & Bug Fixes Missions release weekly this arc; Scopely claims to fix veil recall daily bug and arena entry issue. 47:30 – Mid-Ops Experience Announcement Wardaddy returns to discuss a new mid-ops battle pass later this week, expanding mid-tier gameplay. 49:00 – Chaos Tech Review They dissect “Particle Synthesis” (loot and mining boosts) and “Biomimetic Gel” (PvP buffs). DJz clarifies the math—impressive numbers but balanced impact. 53:40 – New Primes for Outposts Three new primes enhance solo outpost assault, output, and retaliation rewards—though DJz warns their longevity is uncertain. 55:40 – Wrap-Up & Closing Remarks DJz and Griffin summarize the arc, thank listeners, and tease in-game lab testing later that night.

1. 稀土提煉的地理考量與中國的產業鏈優勢* 稀土礦藏在世界各地都有，但提煉鮮有人做。* 提煉稀土的過程需要使用極具腐蝕性的酸性溶解劑，對環境影響大，難以處理。因此，中國將這個重污染的工業集中在人口密度較低的內蒙包頭（靠近蒙古），而非杭州或深圳等大城市。* 中國在組裝生產上擁有優勢，其整個供應鏈整合得非常好，這也是中國成為世界工廠的原因之一。2. 稀土的經濟價值並非如外界想像般高昂* 儘管媒體常說稀土非常重要（用於手機等電子產品），但在經濟學角度來看，稀土的價格並不昂貴。* 例如，用於製造強力磁石（如釹鐵硼磁鐵）的主要稀土元素釹（Neodymium），每公斤僅售80美元。* 稀土價格低廉，一個主要原因是需求量並非巨大，日常器具和微型機械對稀土元素的需求並非海量。* 美國在2024年進口的稀土總值僅為1.7億美元，而同年進口牛油果的貨值是稀土的20倍。3. 中國對稀土供應的控制在於「短期不可替代性」* 稀土在地緣政治上的關鍵性，不在於它不能夠替代，而在於不能短期替代。悲觀估計，找到替代方案至少需要十年時間。* 最難找到替代品的是兩種重稀土：鏑（Dysprosium）和鋱（Terbium） 。這兩種元素主要用於製造耐熱磁石，應用於電動車和導彈導航系統，如陀螺儀（Gyroscope）。4. 西方國家已在尋求替代方案與提高稀土價格* 美國過去曾是稀土生產大國（1980年代前），但因環境污染問題（如酸性溶解液洩漏）導致加州的 Mountain Pass 礦場公司停止營運。* 面對中國的控制，美國國防部給予MP公司4億美元的10年合約，要求其重新開始供應。* 七大工業國（G7）正在討論對稀土採購設定最低價格，目的是鼓勵投資以提高生產動機，解決稀土價格太低的問題。* 在技術層面，日本在2010年因釣魚臺（尖閣群島）爭議被限制出口後，開始研發不需稀土的高性能磁石，現在日本的電動車在一定程度上已不依賴稀土。歐洲的BMW等公司也有不需稀土的高性能摩打新設計。5. 中國的「掐喉策略」（Chokehold）更像是經濟與政治的「擠牙膏式供應」* 中國的策略目標是抓住你的脖子，而不是抓爆你。如果「抓得太大力」，會加速被抓者的反抗，即加快替代產品的開發。* 一旦替代產品成功開發並大規模生產，其邊際成本（marginal cost）會很低，容易導致價格競爭，屆時稀土將不再是「掐喉」的工具。* 中國更有可能採取擠牙膏式行銷或飢餓式行銷的供應模式。這種有時鬆有時緊的供應，會讓外國無法全程投入開發替代技術，同時也可能透過出口許可證制度（licensing regime）衍生官僚程序，讓中間人或制度內的既得利益者獲利，達成政治和經濟上的一箭雙鵰。 This is a public episode.

Du 4 au 6 novembre, le nucléaire est à l'honneur de la World Nuclear Exhibition 2025 qui se tient au nord de Paris. Parmi les exposants de ce salon mondial du nucléaire civil, des entreprises et organisations du Canada, deuxième plus grand producteur et exportateur d'uranium. Le Canada, un pays qui a relancé ces dernières années sa production qui avait chuté. La production canadienne avait dégringolé après l'effondrement du marché suite à l'accident de Fukushima de 2011. Le redressement des prix de l'uranium depuis 2021 a redonné de l'élan au secteur et a permis de relancer des mines en sommeil : Cameco a ainsi rouvert en 2022 la mine de McArthur fermée cinq ans plus tôt. Une autre mine, celle de McClean, a repris son activité cette année, comme l'a annoncé Orano qui exploite la mine en co-entreprise avec le canadien Denison. Le nouveau projet Rook1 soutenu par l'entreprise canadienne NexGen, ambitionne d'ouvrir « la plus grande mine mondiale à faible coût de production ». Le projet est toujours dans l'attente de validation de la Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire, la prochaine audience est prévue le 19 novembre. Cette mine se trouve, elle aussi, dans le bassin de l'Athabasca, une région où les teneurs en uranium sont parmi les plus élevées au monde.  Nouvelle politique du gouvernement fédéral Une des illustrations de la dynamique actuelle est la mise en place, par le gouvernement fédéral, d'une politique de soutien actif au secteur. L'uranium a été intégré à la nouvelle « Stratégie canadienne sur les minéraux critiques » afin notamment d'encourager l'ouverture de nouveaux gisements grâce à un crédit d'impôt de 30% sur les dépenses d'exploration. Le Canada est vu aujourd'hui comme le pays capable de répondre à court terme à l'augmentation de la demande mondiale en uranium, tirée par la transition énergétique. Mais la relance observée est confrontée à plusieurs obstacles rappellent les auteurs du rapport sur les enjeux de la relance nucléaire publié en janvier 2025, par l'Observatoire de la sécurité des flux et des matières énergétiques (OSFME) et coordonné par l'Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques. Cameco a ainsi par exemple revu ses objectifs de production pour 2025 à la baisse, pour des raisons techniques et par manque de main d'œuvre.  Nouvelle centrale nucléaire en Ontario  Le Canada extrait de l'uranium, mais construit aussi des réacteurs. Son projet phare du moment est la sortie de terre d'une nouvelle centrale nucléaire, à Clarington, en Ontario, sur le site existant de Darlington.  Dans le contexte de guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis, le pays mise sur le développement de grands projets d'intérêt national et cette nouvelle centrale en est un. Le Premier ministre a d'ailleurs annoncé il y a quelques jours un financement de 2 milliards de dollars, pour ce projet qui prendra la forme de quatre petits réacteurs modulaires. Un projet présenté comme une illustration de la nouvelle approche économique du pays. Le Canada se targue d'être le premier pays du G7 à faire usage de cette technologie.

Banyak yang memandang aliansi BRICS (Brasil, Rusia, India, Tiongkok, dan Afrika Selatan) sebagai fajar era baru tatanan dunia, sebuah kekuatan penyeimbang yang akhirnya menantang dominasi lama G7 dan Amerika Serikat. Mereka dipuji karena mendirikan lembaga-lembaga baru seperti New Development Bank, yang seolah menawarkan alternatif bagi IMF dan Bank Dunia. Namun, esai ini membongkar narasi optimistis tersebut dan mengajukan pertanyaan provokatif: Apakah BRICS benar-benar sebuah tatanan baru, atau sekadar tatanan lama dengan wajah dan manajer yang baru? Jauh dari menjadi kekuatan anti-imperialis, analisis mendalam ini mengemukakan bahwa BRICS lebih sering bertindak sebagai kekuatan "sub-imperialis". Alih-alih meruntuhkan kapitalisme global, mereka justru berkolaborasi di dalamnya sebagai "mitra junior" yang memperkuat sistem. Esai ini mengungkap bagaimana negara-negara BRICS mereplikasi pola-pola dominasi klasik di wilayah pengaruh mereka sendiri, menjalankan model ekonomi "ekstraktif" yang rakus di Afrika dan Amerika Latin, sambil mengandalkan "super-eksploitasi" terhadap kelas pekerja di dalam negeri mereka sendiri agar tetap kompetitif. Esai ini pada akhirnya mengungkap adanya dua BRICS yang sedang berperang: "BRICS dari Atas", yang terdiri dari para elite, pemodal, dan korporasi yang bertemu di KTT mewah, dan "BRICS dari Bawah", yang terdiri dari gerakan sosial dan serikat buruh yang menanggung biaya pembangunan tersebut. Dari protes besar-besaran di Brasil menentang biaya Piala Dunia hingga pemogokan tambang yang mematikan di Afrika Selatan, analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa harapan sejati untuk perubahan tidak terletak pada aliansi para elite, melainkan pada solidaritas mereka yang berjuang di akar rumput.

In Ep. 108, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview CNN Tokyo correspondent Hanako Montgomery about the historic election of Sanae Takaichi as Japan's first female prime minister, exploring her background, conservative policies, and the geopolitical challenges she faces amid rising regional tensions and domestic economic woes. The discussion highlights Takaichi's rise: how she broke through Japan's traditional patriarchal barriers, and how she will navigate its complex domestic politics and the rapidly changing Indo-Pacific geostrategic picture.Sanae Takaichi, formerly the economic security minister, emerged as Japan's fourth prime minister since Shinzo Abe's 2020 departure, marking a milestone as the country's first woman in the role despite Japan's low G7 ranking in gender parity. Unlike many politicians who come from dynasties, her background includes a TV anchor career in the mid-1990s, where she discussed politics and society, while her parents were a police officer and a car company worker. Known for her colorful personality (including a love for motorcycles and heavy metal music), she is a self-described workaholic and Abe protégé, advocating conservative stances like revising Japan's pacifist constitution, boosting defense spending to 2% of GDP, and opposing same-sex marriage.Takaichi's election comes during a period of turmoil for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which lost its parliamentary majority in recent elections amid scandals like unreported slush funds and ties to controversial groups linked to Abe's assassin. The long-dominant LDP now relies on a new coalition, creating an identity crisis between its conservative roots and younger reformers. Her "Sanaenomics"--looser fiscal policies, increased government spending, and inflation relief via billions in subsidies for household items--differs from Abenomics but faces hurdles from her coalition's fiscally conservative views and Japan's demographic crisis, including low birth rates and immigration crackdowns. Markets reacted positively with the Nikkei 225 hitting records post-election, but the yen also weakened, signaling investor excitement tempered by fiscal risks.Takaichi inherits a fraught Indo-Pacific landscape, with her hawkish views on China, including criticisms of its militarization, espionage by Chinese residents, and even ugly tourist behavior, drawing Beijing's ire via state media warnings that Japan is at a "crossroads." Her April Taiwan visit, pushing defense and economic ties without U.S. centrality, has heightened tensions, though economic interdependence may prompt pragmatic diplomacy during upcoming APEC and ASEAN meetings.Takaichi previously vowed female representation in her cabinet but appointed only two women, emphasizing qualifications over gender in a male-dominated field, surprising some observers. Comparisons to Margaret Thatcher abound for her symbolic strength as a first female leader; however, there are policy differences between the two.Takaichi's tenure could reshape Japan's role amid uncertainties about U.S. commitment and China's assertiveness in areas such as the Senkaku Islands, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, with public support growing for constitutional revision and defense hikes due to perceived threats. Her success hinges on economic delivery--tackling inflation and wages--while balancing alliances.

2025-10-21 | Silicon Wafers 037 | Trump Stop Europe's €140bn Lifeline to Ukraine?Europe thinks it's found a legal-financial hack to turn Russia's frozen billions into a €140 billion, interest-free “reparations loan” for Ukraine. And just as leaders line up to back it, reports say the Trump White House is balking — raising “market stability” fears and casting doubt on G7 unity. What's the plan, what's the pushback, and can Washington block Brussels? And of course, the big question, I why Trump would do this, when the plan would have a significant impact on Ukraine's resilience, potentially turning the tide of the war. The plan, plain and simple. Here's the elevator pitch. The EU doesn't confiscate Russia's immobilized central-bank assets. Instead, it uses the cash stuck at Euroclear in Belgium (as Russian securities matured) to buy zero-coupon Commission bonds, and on that basis extend a €140 billion, 0% loan to Ukraine — repayable only when Russia pays reparations. It's ingenious and gets around many of the concerns that timid lawyer types had about simply handing the money over to Ukraine. A senior EU official framed the core legal line this way: “What we are proposing is not confiscation.” (The Guardian, Oct 20, 2025). Belgium still wants rock-solid guarantees that it won't stand alone if lawsuits hit Euroclear.

China sits at the heart of Indonesia's energy paradox — driving the country's ambitious shift toward renewables while remaining deeply entrenched in its coal economy. Chinese financing and technology are accelerating Indonesia's clean energy buildout, from nickel refining to electric vehicles and solar manufacturing. Yet the same Chinese firms are also behind large swathes of Indonesia's coal infrastructure, including off-grid plants that power the smelters fueling its industrial boom. Kevin Zongzhe Li, an affiliated researcher at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, explored this paradox in a recent report that also details how Jakarta is carefully positioning itself among the major powers to facilitate the transition to more sustainable energy supplies.

It's been a rough week for the government: the row over the collapsed Chinese spy trial has rolled on, all while the Chancellor has been trying to lay the groundwork ahead of next month's budget. Then, overnight, another issue has emerged as fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv football team have been banned from attending a football game against Aston Villa next month, leading to accusations of antisemitism.Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons join James Heale to discuss the day's developments. Tim reveals how the Chinese spy row has been picked up by American legislators, threatening to undermine the Five Eyes security alliance. Meanwhile Michael points out that the news that the IMF has upgraded UK growth forecasts – to the second fastest growing of the G7 – might not be all it seems.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes how Mexican cartels are learning drone warfare in Ukraine, Trump's new covert operation in Venezuela, and China's growing stranglehold on the world's rare earth supply. We also cover plans for an international force in Gaza, Trump's expanding bailout of Argentina, and the return of U.S. manufacturing jobs.   Cartels Train for Drone Warfare: Mexican and Colombian cartels are sending members to Ukraine to study drone combat and jamming evasion. These skills could soon target U.S. cities and law enforcement. Bryan warns, “When the next 9/11 happens, it may come from people we already know — using tech we helped build.”   Trump Targets Venezuela's Narco Regime: The President authorized CIA and Special Operations units to act against the Maduro government and its Cartel de los Soles network. The finding allows covert lethal force against designated terrorists, marking the most aggressive U.S. posture toward Venezuela in decades.   China's Rare Earth Power Play: Beijing tightened its export limits on critical minerals, shaking global markets. G7 leaders blasted Xi Jinping for weaponizing trade, while Trump's team vowed to counter with new mining and tariffs.   International Force for Gaza: Indonesia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, and Azerbaijan are preparing a stabilization mission as Hamas factions turn on rival clans. Bryan warns, “It may get far worse before it gets better.”   Argentina and the Fight Against Socialism: Trump doubled U.S. aid to $40 billion to back Javier Milei and block China's influence in South America, calling it “a bet on freedom.”   Manufacturing Returns Home: Jeep maker Stellantis and Whirlpool announced new multibillion-dollar U.S. investments, marking major wins for Trump's reshoring plan and America's industrial revival.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Mexican cartels Ukraine drone training, Trump covert action Venezuela, China rare earth exports G7 response, Gaza International Stabilization Force, Trump Argentina Milei bailout, Stellantis U.S. factory investment, Whirlpool Ohio reshoring jobs

According to the IMF, the UK is on course to record the highest inflation in the G7 this year. Sean Farrington talks to a senior economist about what this means for the UK economy in the long term and for Chancellor Rachel Reeves' budget plans in the short term. And we'll reporting on the latest round of the US China trade war. The US government is bullish, but are US businesses also up for the fight? We hear the views of a US importer. Also, Soho used to be at the heart of the British music industry. But the owner of a legendary Tin Pan Alley recording studio tells us business rates are making her studio unviable against a backdrop of home recording trends.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. Happy Friday. We made it. We did it. We're here. I am so excited for these short episodes, because they're just, they're here to inspire you. And honestly, like, sometimes, like, we were kids, like, didn't we, like, live for Fridays. And now it's kind of like, okay, we made it. We survived. There's a lot going on. There's a lot always going on. There's always been that way. But these episodes are here to remind you that there's still things that you can celebrate. There's still good stuff that's happening. You're still doing things, even if around you, if it just feels like chaos and overwhelm. So I share a winof yours, a win of mine, also some inspiration from something that I saw, that we can all think about, celebrate or get mad about, and then a little mantra for you to take with you on your way. And hopefully it's something you can share with a friend or run a Post-It, and I love for you to your share your wins, to send them into the beitpod.com/questions. But this really inspired me. So this is really, really cool. 16 incarcerated fathers were reunited with their daughters for a daddy-daughter dance held inside the prison. Freaking the coolest thing the prison system, like bothers me so much because we don't do a really good job like rehabilitating people, making people feel like human beings. We treat them like animals, and we want them to act like a human and like Maslow's hierarchy of needs is like a real thing. So this is so cool, and it's so it says, for a few sacred hours, San Quentin didn't feel like prison. The prison chapel transformed into a holy ground, draped walls, soft music, a red carpet, floral centerpieces replaced concrete and coldness. For a moment, it was hard to believe we were still in a maximum security prison. Outside, 16 incarcerated fathers stood waiting, some in suits for the first time, others trembling as they tied ties with unsteady hands. They waited for years, for this moment, some decades, then the doors open. There's actually like a whole documentary on YouTube. Now I gotta go watch it. But the daughter stepped on the red carpet, little girls in bright dresses, grown women with hearts full of ache and hope. One by one, they walked into arms that had long to hold them. I'm gonna cry. Fathers fell at their knees in tears. Prodigals reunited. Kelon hadn't held his daughter in 20 years. Carrington wept as his daughters hugged him for the first time. Steven danced with his “bundle of joy.” Vincent read a handwritten letter to his daughter Autumn, filled with love, apology, and redemption. It wasn't just beautiful.
It was sacred.
It was the Gospel, tangible, trembling, alive. You made it happen. You gave 21 daughters dresses, flights, hotel rooms, corsages, a meal, and a memory they'll never forget. You brought heaven to prison. You reminded these men: they are still dads. And reminded these girls: they are still daughters. This wasn't just an event.
This was healing.
This was hope.
This was holy. Anyways, there's a the handle that handled that did this is God Behind Bars are doing another father-daughter dance in Angola prison. This year, you can donate $10 a month or anything to help for pay for tuxes, family travel, dresses, food and so much more. You can go to Godbehindbars.com. Like, however you feel about religion. Like, I just think that this is just like the most impactful thing for people in their lives. Like, people make mistakes, people are put in situations that things happen, and our justice system is really not always just. And so I just am this just really melts my heart. And like, how cool, how cool. And I'm from California, up past where San Quentin is. We drive by it, and it's like, just not a place you want to be. And like, the fact that they took the time to do this, to make people feel like the human beings that they are, and really help establish relationships that like can be helpful for for reestablishing these people in society, if they ever get to like, it's humongous. It's a huge deal. So anyways, that is what inspired me. There can be inspiration, right? Lesley Logan 4:16  Okay, a win of yours. Melissa Hargrove, someone I was been around in our lives for a long time and just really inspires me all the time. She said, wanted to share an ongoing win. After our eLevate retreat in March, I reconnected with my OG partner, Lisa. We decided to make a commitment to get together and practice our original goal was to find as much time as we could and do duets with Lesley. After the first lesson, we knew we needed more. We have more duets scheduled through September. Go us! And taking it a step further, we decided to try to do our best to meet weekly, even just to do a Joe's gym or just move. Today, we opted to do the June chair class, It Takes Two, and I'm pretty sure I can speak for us both that we dusted that piece of equipment and we have a new reignited passion for it. So thank you, Lisa for finding time to work with me. And just proud that we have been able to keep the commitment to our practice. I told her today that had we not done the class together it would have taken me two hours to do it, because I would have had to pause, pet my cat, get a drink, maybe change the laundry and so on. But holy cow, when you flow at a brisk pace without pausing, it feels amazing. So thanks again, Lisa for keeping us on point and LL for an inspiring class. Yeah, I want to add to this win. Because you know what, Melissa Hargrove, your partner, Lisa, put a win up that adds to this. So here we go and adding on to that win. This is Melissa. Melissa. I wanted to add to this win this week after already doing two Pilates classes Tuesday, Melissa joined me for our scheduled practice session. I am so very grateful for her commitment to our practice together. It means so much that she did not cancel. As I was looking forward to moving with her, we agreed to do a 30 minute session, which was a win win for both of us since I had the opportunity to walk and do a stair climbing session in 95 degree heat at lunch. Glad we could support each other and can find the time and the win in any situation. Way to go ladies. So this is why Be It Till You See It exists. This is what we're here to do, bring people together, bring women together. Remind you that like you can, right? You can have counterparts that like will show up even when you're like, I don't really want to do this, and this happens all the time. I'm sure I'll have a win coming up with some of our other OPC members who literally get together every Wednesday at 8am to do the workout that they're members of. You know, sometimes it does take that kind of village, and it's okay to take that village time. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to have an accountability buddy, but this is really important to me. When you make an accountability buddy, you guys need to be completely honest and thoughtful of the other person, so that you don't start canceling here and canceling there, like, oh, it's just 30 minutes. No, show up for each other, right? It helps the other person make time for themselves as well. So I really love this lady. Thank you so much for inspiring us to move our bodies, but also to connect with other people in our lives and realize, like we need each other too. We need to be there too. Lesley Logan 4:39  Okay, so my win, I had a win to share with you. I'm gonna save that win for next week. It's already a little delayed to share with you, so I'm gonna share it because a win is actually, I wish I had Brad here. Tomorrow's our 10 year wedding anniversary. 10 years, holy moly. We're celebrating together. I think we'll actually be together for it, because we're in Chicago, so we'll celebrate it together, and we're like, usually we're on a plane and like, because of the time travel distance, like the third just disappears in our lives. And so multiple anniversaries that we haven't been together, but this one, we get to do it together, doing something we love, with people we love to be around at, Pilates On Tour in Chicago. I know you're like, 10 years how is that like? That's that's a win. It's a win not because, like, it's like a struggle to stay married to him or anything like that, but just that we like continually make time to be with each other and to make sure that we're doing things together that are fun, and we challenge each other in really amazing ways. He challenges me to put things away in an actual spot. I challenged him to be on time. You know, these are, these are these are wins for two ADHD people in the same household. But truly, I'm so blessed. I'm so grateful. And recently, we were sharing how we met, because people always want to know how we met, and maybe that's a podcast episode for a different day, but whenever we get to tell it now that we've been married 10 years, there's there's something really cool about, like, looking back on the people that we were who chose each other and we chose to do something really scary, and that's a win. So here we are celebrating 10 years of marriage. And it's not that the 10 years of marriage is what I'm celebrating for us. I'm, like, kind of celebrating our past selves, making really huge decisions that could have easily been written off and, like, not made a priority. So huge thanks to Brad and Lesley in their early 30s for the things that they did, but also just for all the people in our lives who have been friends along the way, who've become family, and that's our win. 10 years of marriage. I love it. I love you. You're amazing. Lesley Logan 8:58  Okay, let me get you an affirmation to repeat with your on yourself, on your drive, on your walk. There's room for me at the table. There is room for me at the table. There is. Take a seat. You know, sometimes we think, oh, I don't want to bother people, oh, and I'll be I don't have enough accolades. Oh, who am I to do this? My neighbor recently, saw the G7 he's like, oh my god, don't, don't write my thing down. Like, who am I to be here? And like, what he actually is there to do, like, change the lives of people in this world and the politicians that are there need to hear what he has to say. There's room for you at the table. There's room for me at the table. Love you so much, and you know what to do.

This week, Israel accepted a U.S. proposal to end the war in Gaza that has received support from Qatar and Egypt, while U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order providing safety guarantees to Qatar. In the Russia/Ukraine conflict, Trump is considering providing Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles and targeting intelligence, and G7 countries pledged to coordinate measures against nations importing Russian oil. In the Indo-Pacific, documents revealed that Russia was aiding China in its planning of airborne operations, while the U.S. indicated it was not making efforts to lower tariffs against China. In the U.S., a government shutdown began following deadlocked talks between Republicans and Democrats.

C dans l'air du 2 octobre 2025 - L'Europe au défi de la flotte fantôme russeLe pétrolier "Pushpa" a dû mettre son périple en pause. Parti de Russie le 18 septembre à destination de l'Inde, le navire de 244 mètres de long a été arraisonné lundi au large de Saint-Nazaire par des militaires français qui le soupçonnent d'appartenir à la flotte de navires fantômes russes. Hier, le parquet de Brest a annoncé l'ouverture d'une enquête pour "défaut de justification de la nationalité du navire" et "refus d'obtempérer" et le placement en garde à vue de deux membres de l'équipage. "Il y a eu des fautes très importantes qui ont été commises par cet équipage qui justifient que la procédure soit judiciarisée aujourd'hui", a déclaré Emmanuel Macron, en marge d'un sommet international à Copenhague. Les dirigeants européens y sont notamment réunis pour imaginer de nouvelles ripostes contre la Russie qui viole régulièrement leurs espaces aériens, comme la Pologne, la Roumanie ou l'Estonie. Le président français a cependant appelé à rester prudent sur les informations de la presse danoise, selon laquelle le Pushpa aurait pu servir de plateforme de lancement à des drones ayant perturbé le trafic aérien du pays fin septembre. Une chose est sûre, le navire, qui a changé à treize reprises de pavillons en trois ans selon Le Monde, a déjà été immobilisé à plusieurs reprises pour des activités "illégales". Et il n'est pas un cas isolé. Depuis 2023, plusieurs navires en provenance de Russie ont été impliqués dans des ruptures de câbles électriques ou l'endommagement de gazoducs.Pendant que les dirigeants européens se réunissent pour élaborer de nouvelles stratégies contre la Russie, l'armée de l'Otan se prépare au scénario du pire. Mi-mai, 3 000 militaires et de nombreux véhicules terrestres et aériens issus de neuf pays européens ont simulé un débarquement sur les côtes française dans le cadre d'exercices militaires baptisés Polaris 25. Selon le contre-amiral français Jean-Michel Martinet, il s'agit "de préparer la Marine nationale à être immédiatement engagée dans du combat de haute intensité avec tout ce que cela suppose dans le contexte actuel". Une équipe de C dans l'air a pu y participer.Si les responsables militaires ne nomment pas directement le responsable de leurs craintes, c'est bien la Russie qui est visée. Pour financer sa guerre en Ukraine, Vladimir Poutine a annoncé fin septembre une hausse de la TVA de 20 à 22% à partir de 2026, soit le niveau le plus élevé depuis le début de l'invasion russe. Selon les économistes, le Kremlin peine à assumer le coût du conflit. Alourdi par les dépenses militaires et les sanctions visant ses exportations de pétrole, le déficit russe atteint désormais 43 milliards d'euros, soit trois fois plus qu'en 2024. Les frappes ukrainiennes sur les raffineries russes n'ont rien arrangé à la situation tandis que les pays du G7 ont annoncé hier vouloir "accentuer la pression sur les exportations pétrolières de la Russie". Signe que l'économie russe ralentit, le gouvernement a annoncé abaisser ses prévisions de croissance pour 2026 de 2 à 1,3%.Que sait-on du pétrolier arraisonné au large des côtes françaises et suspecté d'appartenir à la flotte fantôme russe ? Comment les forces de l'Otan se préparent à l'hypothèse d'une guerre de haute intensité ? Les sanctions internationales contre l'économie russe peuvent-elles faire basculer le cours de la guerre en Ukraine ?LES EXPERTS :- Alain BAUER - Professeur de criminologie au CNAM responsable du Pôle Sécurité Défense Renseignement- Pierre HAROCHE - Maître de conférences en politique européenne et internationale à l'Université catholique de Lille- Marie JEGO - Journaliste - Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou- Alexandra SAVIANA - Journaliste - L'Express, auteur de Les scénarios noirs de l'armée française

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:US President Donald Trump claims he has ended seven “unendable” wars. Is that true?Chancellor Rachel Reeves says the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 for the first six months of 2025. What do you need to know about that stat?The Daily Mail has described a recent scientific paper as describing a global cancer “explosion”.

The final guess at UK second quarter GDP led to some modest increases in growth—cementing the UK's position as the fastest growing G7 economy year-to-date. Better investment figures led the upgrade. Consumers' savings rate increased, suggesting consumers have resources to fund future spending (despite retailers' attempts at profit-led inflation).

Ruth van Vierzen's journey began in 1970, the year she was born and David Milgaard was wrongfully convicted of murder. While Ruth built her life, Milgaard spent years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, until his release in 1992. This injustice inspired a remarkable advocacy journey that ultimately reshaped Canadian law. In 2019, after Milgaard advocated for an independent commission to address wrongful convictions, Ruth reached out to him via LinkedIn. This connection led to the formation of a powerful advocacy group, including lawyer James Lockyer, wrongfully imprisoned Ron Dalton, and filmmaker Lori Kuffner. Through strategic letter writing, media engagement, and lobbying, the group secured meetings with Justice Minister David Lametti, which ultimately led to the establishment of the Miscarriage of Justice Commission. This was significant because Canada was the only G7 nation without such a body to review wrongful convictions, despite numerous government recommendations. The commission is crucial for all Canadians, particularly Indigenous people who are disproportionately affected by wrongful convictions. Though Milgaard passed away in 2022 before the commission was fully implemented, his legacy lives on in the David and Joyce Milgaard's Law, a symbol of transformative advocacy. Ruth's story shows that meaningful change often starts with one person's determination to take action or refuse to give up. When we see injustice, we all have the power and perhaps the responsibility to be that person.  What issue matters enough to you that you would be willing to persist until you see change?Send BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate: Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

The boss of Eli Lilly has branded the UK “probably the worst country in Europe” for drug prices, US President Donald Trump hit out at the UN at a speech at the global body's General Assembly, and the Federal Reserve has scope to cut interest rates another three times, the OECD has said. Plus, the biggest US-listed companies keep talking about artificial intelligence, but few appear to be able to describe how the technology is changing their businesses for the better.

The Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth has concluded with a speech from leader Sir Ed Davey. While the current crop of Liberal Democrats are the most successful third-party in 100 years, they have faced questions about why they aren't cutting through more while Nigel Farage is. It's something Davey is aware of and – hoping to exploit how divisive the leader of Reform is – he sought to pitch himself as the anti-Farage. Will it work?Plus, more bad news for the Chancellor. Labour had pledged to aim for the highest growth in the G7. New figures from the OECD did upgrade their global growth forecast, including for Britain, but projected that the UK would see the highest inflation across the G7. How bad is this for Rachel Reeves?James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 9-17-2025 FIRST HOUR 9-915HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace, while Israel engages in difficult urban warfare in Gaza, and the US flexes naval power against Venezuela, all against a backdrop of potential regional miscalculations. Russia's Zapad 2025 includes tactical nuclear training with Belarus, as unidentified drones probe Polish territory. Israel faces six months of challenging urban combat in Gaza, learning from Fallujah. The USconducts naval exercises near Venezuela, potentially aimed at destabilizing Maduro.

The EU and G7 plan to use $170 billion of frozen Russian assets, largely held by Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine. This "confiscation" involves the European Union issuing zero-interest bonds to Euroclear, allowing cash to be transferred to Ukraine as an unpayable loan. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices fluctuate, influenced by sanctions and Trump's calls to stop buying Russian oil. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Challenging Prospect Theory: Increasing Sensitivity to Loss in Human Behavior GUEST NAME: Tim Kane SUMMARY: Professor Tim Kane questions Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, presenting experiments that suggest humans exhibit increasing sensitivity to loss, rather than diminishing, impacting our understanding of complex rationality beyond financial gambles. Professor Tim Kane challenges Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, arguing that while losses hurt more than gains, people show increasing sensitivity to successive losses, not diminishing sensitivity. His chocolate experiment demonstrated higher demands to part with each subsequent piece, suggesting a "complex rationality" that differs in non-financial contexts from pure monetary gambles. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Nepal's "Gen Z Revolution" Against Corruption and Inequality, Amidst Geopolitical Influence GUEST NAME: Kelly Currie SUMMARY: Nepal faces its biggest governance challenge in decades as disillusioned youth, frustrated by corrupt elites and deep inequality, ignite a "Gen Z revolution" marked by widespread protests, while China and India vie for influence in the poor, landlocked nation. Nepal is grappling with widespread "Gen Z" youth-led protests, marked by violence and targeting government institutions, driven by anger over corrupt elites and severe inequality. An interim government is forming to stabilize the country and organize elections. Meanwhile, Nepal, Asia's second poorest nation, is a growing battleground for influence between China and India. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: China's Deflationary Cycle: A Consequence of Overproduction and Centralized Control GUEST NAME: Anne Stevenson-Yang SUMMARY: China is mired in a fearful deflationary cycle driven by chronic overproduction and a government unable to shift from supply-side investment to stimulating consumption, perpetuating a "race to the bottom" under CCP leadership. China faces widespread deflation, causing consumer uncertainty and stemming from government-backed overproduction. The CCP leadership pours money into factories to meet GDP targets, despite overbuilt infrastructure and property. This "involution," or economy eating itself, continues due to a lack of innovative solutions and reluctance to cede economic control. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: China's Covert Strategic Support for Russia Fuels NATO Border Tensions GUEST NAME: Victoria Coates SUMMARY: China is actively supporting Russia's efforts to destabilize NATO's eastern flank, particularly through the Polish-Belarusian border, by pushing migrants and using proxies. This "partnership without limits," declared by Xi and Putin, aims to keep the United States entangled in European conflicts, preventing a focus on East Asia. Poland, however, remains resolute and is strengthening its defenses. China covertly aids Russia in destabilizing NATO via incidents on the Polish-Belarusian border, pushing migrants and using drones. This "partnership without limits" between Xi and Putin aims to keep the US preoccupied in Europe and the Middle East, preventing a focus on East Asia. Despite this, Poland, led by President Karol Nawrocki, remains resolute, strengthening its defenses and economy. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's EV Market Faces Global Headwinds and Domestic Overcapacity GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: Despite innovation, China's electric vehicle market, led by BYD, is experiencing production drops, price wars, and significant international pushback due to quality, surveillance fears, and predatory trade practices, exposing a broader economic deflation. China's EV market leader BYD saw production drops amidst price wars and over 150 producers. Global markets, including the US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, resist Chinese EVs due to surveillance concerns and predatory trade practices. Beijing maintains employment through municipal loans, but widespread overcapacity and deflation are significant challenges. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for essential metals and select food items are spiking due to high demand and supply constraints, mirroring political unrest and leadership challenges within the UK's Labour Party. Simon Constable reports on rising commodity prices: copper, iron ore, and aluminum are up due to high demand for data centers and supply issues. Coffee prices have spiked by 51%, though cocoa and Brent crude have moderated. In the UK, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer faces internal dissent and "plastic patriotism" protests, with talk of replacing him by early next year. 1115-1130 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for 1130-1145 HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence GUEST NAMES: Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) has made its first international bust in West Africa, revealing how Islamic State (ISIS) cells, particularly the wealthy ISWAP, are funding global attacks and supporting ISISoperations, including those in Iraq, amidst shifting jihadist strongholds and Western withdrawal from the Sahel. The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) revealed its first international operation, dismantling an Islamic State (ISIS) cell in West Africa. This cell, linked to the powerful ISWAP, was financing attacks in Europe and supporting ISIS operations in Iraq. This highlights Africa's growing importance as a hub for the global Islamic State network, amidst a complex regional jihadist landscape. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz analyzes Cass Sunstein's defense of liberalism "under siege," highlighting criticisms from both the new right and the woke left, and arguing that liberalism's own principles, when taken to extremes, contribute to its current pressures. Peter Berkowitz reviews Cass Sunstein's book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom, where Sunstein argues liberalism is "under siege" from criticisms on the right (permissiveness, criminality) and left (too weak on inequality, racism). Berkowitz suggests Sunstein mischaracterizes liberalism by overemphasizing "experiments of living" over equal rights, and neglects how liberalism's vices contribute to its challenges. 1215-1230 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman ambitions are driving Turkey to increasingly confront Israel through vilifying rhetoric, alleged support for Hamas cells, and a growing military footprint across the Mediterranean and Africa, risking miscalculation and armed conflict in Syria. Erdogan is pursuing Neo-Ottomanism, escalating tensions with Israelthrough vilifying rhetoric and alleged MIT involvement in Hamas plots. Turkey's military expansion, including bases in Somalia and northern Cyprus, and advanced weaponry like drones and hypersonic missiles, positions it to dominate the Mediterranean and challenge Israel. Miscalculation in Syria poses a risk of armed conflict. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays
