Semana de competições internacionais. Nas Américas, a Americup, na Europa, o Eurobasket. Se os nomes não são os mais criativos, pelo menos o basquete é bom. Antes de mais nada, começou o Paulista Feminino. O detalhe é que desta vez a competição tem quase tantos times quanto o campeonato nacional. É claro que São Paulo é o estado com mais habitantes no país e também o segundo maior PIB, ficando atrás apenas da própria federação (para comparação, o estado de SP tem 3 vezes o do segundo, enquanto a cidade de São Paulo ficaria em quinto geral, atrás apenas do Brasil, o estado de São Paulo, o do Rio de Janeiro e quase empatando com o estado de Minas Gerais). Ainda assim, o tamanho do estadual tanto masculino, quanto feminino de basquete é algo impressionante. Talvez o único ruim seja que o masculino funcione basicamente como uma pré-temporada e o feminino como uma pós-temporada. Mas sem dúvida, quando as competições entram nos playoffs, a coisa muda de figura. Por enquanto, primeira semana do feminino foi interessante, com boas vitórias do Corinthians, Ourinhos e São José. No Paulista, acabando o turno, temos três times empatados na primeira posição (claro, sem contar o desempate): Franca, São José e Corinthians. Já na Americup o Brasil se mostrou muito bem nos dois primeiros jogos, bastante competitivo e sabendo controlar os momentos chaves do jogo. Mas tudo isso veio por terra no terceiro jogo, contra os Estados Unidos. Parece aquele fantasma que impressiona só pelo nome, mas a verdade é que este seria provavelmente um sexto ou sétimo time americano, se tanto. Um time de nomes desconhecidos e com passagens apagadíssimas e irrelevantes na NBA. Ainda assim, o Brasil acabou sucumbindo ao seu próprio jogo e perdendo, mesmo entrando o último quarto em vantagem. Classificamos como melhor terceiro, apenas. Um grupo estranho, mas o caminho dos playoffs nos colocou de novo de frente aos Estados Unidos, e espero que desta vez entremos mais focados. Na Eurobasket tivemos uma surpresa na primeira semana, a Espanha dos irmãos Hernangomez perdeu para o time da Geórgia. Além disso, a Finlândia de Markkanen ganhou apertado da Suécia e Portugal demonstrou ter um time interessante de assistir. E claro, Docic e Jokic jogaram. Enquanto a Sérvia de Jokic parece fadada a chegar a, pelo menos, as semis, a Eslovênia, por outro lado, parece que vai ter muito trabalho para se classificar. No fim, aproveitamos para falar um pouco da segunda classificada para os playoffs na WNBA, o surpreendente Las Vegas Aces. Mais um ano que o Aces começa devagar e parece ligar o turbo na segunda parte da temporada. Enquanto isso, a Kamilla continua indo muito bem no já eliminado Sky. Falamos também de algumas coisas de NBA e respondemos as perguntas do pessoal que estava acompanhando a live no youtube. Foi divertido, então não perde tempo e vem com a gente.

  The Green Impact Report Quick take: 16-year heat pump water heater evangelist Gregg Holladay reveals how homeowners can slash energy costs by $400+ annually, why May 2029 changes everything for 50% of American homes, and his "proactive replacement" strategy that turns water heater failures into profitable opportunities. Meet Your Fellow Sustainability Champion Gregg Holladay is Business Development Manager for Specialty Markets at Bradford White, where he champions heat pump water heater technology across residential and commercial markets. The industry's only 16-year veteran of heat pump water heaters, Gregg introduced America's first Energy Star-rated unit while at GE in 2009. A sustainability pioneer who built his first energy-efficient home 33 years ago on a Kentucky farm, he's known for translating complex technology into compelling financial stories—like how homeowners can save $400+ annually while achieving 420% efficiency. Gregg teaches contractors nationwide that water heaters are evolving from "failure replacement" to proactive upgrades that actually pay for themselves.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump's 50% Tariffs on India Starting August 27, Indian exports to the US will face a steep 50% tariff. President Trump doubled duties earlier this month, punishing India for buying Russian oil—a move New Delhi calls “unfair and unreasonable.” Pharma, electronics, and key metals are exempt, but most exports will be hit. PM Modi, striking a defiant note, urged Indians to go “swadeshi” while officials brace exporters for a slowdown. US Pushes ‘Gold Card' Visa Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the Trump administration is set to overhaul the H1-B and green card system. The proposed “Gold Card” would give residency to foreigners investing $5 million. Officials claim 250,000 people are already interested, potentially generating $1.25 trillion. H1-B visas, meanwhile, could shift from a lottery to a wage-based system, prioritising higher-paying jobs—tough news for Indian tech workers. Modi to Attend SCO in China PM Modi will travel to Tianjin next week for the SCO summit—his first China visit in seven years. Alongside Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, leaders from across Asia will attend what Beijing hopes is a show of Global South unity. Analysts say Modi may use the moment to reset ties with China after the 2020 border clashes, while Xi will showcase a “post-American-led world.” US-Russia Explore Energy Deals Even as India is punished for trading with Russia, Washington may be cutting its own deals with Moscow. Reports suggest talks are on to let Exxon Mobil re-enter Russia's Sakhalin-1 project, allow sales of US equipment for LNG projects, and even buy nuclear icebreakers from Russia. The timing raises eyebrows: Trump penalises India for Russian oil but explores energy ties with Putin himself. HAL Orders 113 Jet Engines HAL is set to sign a $1 billion deal with GE Aerospace for 113 GE-404 engines to power nearly 200 LCA Mk-1A fighters. These jets will replace India's retiring MiG-21s. Delivery delays, however, have raised doubts within the Air Force. HAL is also negotiating joint production of GE-414 engines for the upcoming LCA Mk-2, a deal with 80% tech transfer—crucial to India's defence self-reliance push. Learn more about your ad choices.

In quel tempo, Gesù parlò dicendo: «Guai a voi, scribi e farisei ipocriti, che chiudete il regno dei cieli davanti alla gente; di fatto non entrate voi, e non lasciate entrare nemmeno quelli che vogliono entrare. Guai a voi, scribi e farisei ipocriti, che percorrete il mare e la terra per fare un solo prosèlito e, quando lo è divenuto, lo rendete degno della Geènna due volte più di voi. Guai a voi, guide cieche, che dite: “Se uno giura per il tempio, non conta nulla; se invece uno giura per l'oro del tempio, resta obbligato”. Stolti e ciechi! Che cosa è più grande: l'oro o il tempio che rende sacro l'oro? E dite ancora: “Se uno giura per l'altare, non conta nulla; se invece uno giura per l'offerta che vi sta sopra, resta obbligato”. Ciechi! Che cosa è più grande: l'offerta o l'altare che rende sacra l'offerta? Ebbene, chi giura per l'altare, giura per l'altare e per quanto vi sta sopra; e chi giura per il tempio, giura per il tempio e per Colui che lo abita. E chi giura per il cielo, giura per il trono di Dio e per Colui che vi è assiso».

AUG. 22, 2025Advice for in-laws."That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." Ge 2:24 NIVIn Eight Ways In-laws Can Break Up a Marriage it offers examples that should make every in-law stop and think. "(1) When your child decides to marry, show hostility toward the person they chose. After all, it means less love for you, so you have a right to resent them. (2) Expect them to spend weekends and holidays with you, and act hurt if they don't. (3) If they have problems with their mate, encourage them to come home. And when they do, listen to their complaints, and point out other shortcomings they may have missed. Remember, one drop of water after another can wear away a rock. (4) If they're having financial problems, rescue them. Beg, borrow, or steal, but let them know that as long as you're around, they'll never go without. (5) If they have a drinking or drug problem, tell them their mate drove them to it.After all, everybody needs someone to blame.(6) If they have an opportunity for career advancement that takes them to another city, tell them 'family' is more important than money and God will punish them for not honoring the commandment 'honor thy father and thy mother! (7) If there are grandchildren involved, spoil them. And if the parents object, tell them to stay out of it; after all, what are grandkids for? (8) If your child has an argument with their mate, fan the flames.Family loyalty is a beautiful thing; with a little work, you can turn a minor argument into a major hassle and break up a marriage."Advice for in-laws In-laws—stop and think!Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Idag funderar pastor, musiker och författare Robert Eriksson på hur små gåvor ibland kan vara helt tillräckliga. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Om det är något som vi människor har gemensamt är det att vi ofta tvekar att visa vilka vi är och vad vi har att ge. Vi tror ofta inte att det vi har att erbjuda världen räcker till. Jag hörde en gång en författare säga så här om sitt skapande: Det är inte min uppgift att försöka vara bäst av alla. Däremot vill jag vara bäst i världen på mitt eget uttryck. Då kan ingen säga att det är dåligt. Det enda de kan säga är att de inte gillar just mitt uttryck.Jag har burit med mig de orden. Det viktiga är att jag finner min egen röst. Att jag ger det som just jag ska ge.Andakten sändes första gången 2024. Text:Joh 6:11Musik:Come away av Andreaz HedénProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

It's week “zero” of college football this weekend. BYU has selected a Catholic QB. Marco Rubio says Trump is “the president of peace.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gives an update to the press that Trump was still talking to European leaders at 2 a.m. and pushes back on reporters' claims on Russia. Pat is now on a crusade over how to say “Putin” and other mispronounced words. Chewing the Fat: Hurricane Erin is not projected to make land in the U.S., a measles outbreak in Texas has been declared over, and Walmart is recalling "radioactive" shrimp. Leavitt explains why we will now have a co-deputy director of the FBI. Why is a U.S. warship headed for Venezuela? Trump wants to bring peace so that he can get into heaven, and the media predictably freak out. Kristi Noem heads down to the border to announce that the border wall will now be painted black.

Pazarlama Psikolojisinin Derinlerine Hoş GeldinPazarlama dünyasında başarı artık yalnızca ürünü anlatmakla değil, tüketicinin zihnine dokunmakla mümkün. Bu bölümde seninle birlikte, pazarlama metinlerinde kullanılan kelimelerin insan psikolojisi üzerindeki etkisini konuşacağız. Neden bazı kelimeler satışları patlatırken, diğerleri sıradan kalıyor? İşte bu bölümde bunun şifrelerini çözüyoruz.Kelimenin Gücü: Beynimiz Nasıl Tepki Veriyor?İnsan beyni bir kelimeyi gördüğünde sadece anlamını değil, o kelimenin oluşturduğu duyguyu da işler. Pazarlama metinlerinde kullanılan bazı kelimeler, doğrudan beynin karar alma merkezlerine sinyal gönderir. Bu sinyaller ya “satın al” dedirtir ya da “boşver” dedirtir.Kelimeler, özellikle duygulara hitap eden tetikleyicilerle birleştiğinde zihinsel kısa yollar oluşturur. Bu kısa yollar müşteriyi ikna etmenin temelidir. Örneğin “şimdi”, “garantili”, “ücretsiz”, “senin için” gibi ifadeler zihinde “hemen harekete geç” komutunu uyandırır.En Güçlü Psikolojik Tetikleyiciler ve Örnek KullanımlarŞimdi – Aciliyet oluşturur.Örnek: “Şimdi sipariş ver, yarın kapında!”Ücretsiz – Risk algısını düşürür.Örnek: “Ücretsiz kargo ile fırsatı kaçırma.”Senin için – Kişiselleştirme gücü taşır.Örnek: “Bu kampanya sadece senin için hazırlandı.”Tükeniyor – Kıtlık psikolojisini tetikler.Örnek: “Son 3 ürün kaldı.”Garanti – Güven inşa eder.Örnek: “30 gün içinde koşulsuz iade garantisi.”Bilimsel olarak kanıtlanmış – İkna gücü yüksek.Örnek: “Etkinliği bilimsel olarak kanıtlandı.”Kelimeler Nerelerde Kullanılmalı?Başlıklar: Dikkat çekmek için ilk temas noktası.Butonlar: Dönüşüm oranını doğrudan etkiler.Ürün açıklamaları: Güven oluşturmak için ideal alan.E-posta konu satırları: Açılma oranını artırır.Kampanya içerikleri: Harekete geçirme noktasında etkili.Duygusal Tetikleyicilerle Satışları ArtırmakPazarlama metinlerinde duygusal tetikleyiciler ile mantıksal açıklamaları birleştirmek en etkili formüldür. Örneğin bir ürünün ekonomik olduğunu söylemek yerine “sana özel indirim” demek çok daha duygusal bir bağ kurar.Unutma, insanlar duygusal olarak karar verir, mantıkla bunu haklı çıkarır. Metinlerini buna göre tasarla.FOMO Etkisi ve Kıtlık PsikolojisiFear of Missing Out yani FOMO etkisi, özellikle genç kitlelerde çok güçlüdür. “Kaçırma”, “Sadece bugün” gibi ifadeler, bu psikolojik açığı hedef alır.Aynı zamanda kıtlık psikolojisiyle birleştiğinde bu ifadeler insanların kararlarını hızlandırır. Çünkü beyin, sınırlı olanın daha değerli olduğunu düşünür.A/B Testlerle En Etkili Kelimeleri BulmakAynı ürünü farklı kelimelerle sunarak test etmek, hangi kelimenin daha fazla satış getirdiğini bulmanın en pratik yoludur.Örnek:A versiyonu: “Ücretsiz kargo ile şimdi al”B versiyonu: “Senin için kargo bizden”Hangisi daha çok dönüşüm getiriyor? Test et, veriye göre ilerle.Yapay Zeka ile Tetikleyici Kelimeleri BulmakGünümüzde GPT gibi yapay zeka modelleri, hangi kelimelerin hangi demografide daha etkili olduğunu tespit etmekte kullanılıyor.

In other words, if Canadians already treated Americans fairly, then why would tariffs have a negative impact on Canada? Michael Davenport, senior economist at Oxford Economics, noted a significant reversal from June, when Canada added 83,000 jobs. “Canada's labor market snapped back to reality in July,” Davenport said. In this case, “reality” hit hard thanks to Trump's tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos. The Canadian manufacturing sector alone lost 10,000 jobs.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump posted a video in which Navarro explained how people such as Alexander Hamilton and Henry Clay have advocated for tariffs throughout the history of the United States. Navarro noted how Hamilton believed that the U.S. “needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination.” “Trumpnomics' goal is not only to reduce America's trade deficit, it is to defend American workers and factories against unfair trade practices, while encouraging trillions of dollars in investment in new American plant and equipment,” Navarro says. “The policy is working for America, and no one should be surprised by this.”  Navarro continued to explain how Alexander Hamilton was the “original architect of American economic nationalism.” “In his report on manufacturers, Hamilton laid it out clearly,” Navarro continued. “United States needed tariffs to defend its young industries from British domination, and to secure true independence — not just politically, but economically. Hamilton knew that if America relied on foreign powers for manufactured goods, it would always be vulnerable.” “Decades later, Henry Clay carried Hamilton's vision forward,” Navarro continued.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-from-crisis-to-advantage-how-india-can-outplay-the-trump-tariff-gambit-13923031.htmlA simple summary of the recent brouhaha about President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on India as well as his comment on India's ‘dead economy' is the following from Shakespeare's Macbeth: “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. Trump further imposed punitive tariffs totalling 50% on August 6th allegedly for India funding Russia's war machine via buying oil.As any negotiator knows, a good opening gambit is intended to set the stage for further parleys, so that you could arrive at a negotiated settlement that is acceptable to both parties. The opening gambit could well be a maximalist statement, or one's ‘dream outcome', the opposite of which is ‘the walkway point' beyond which you are simply not willing to make concessions. The usual outcome is somewhere in between these two positions or postures.Trump is both a tough negotiator, and prone to making broad statements from which he has no problem retreating later. It's down-and-dirty boardroom tactics that he's bringing to international trade. Therefore I think Indians don't need to get rattled. It's not the end of the world, and there will be climbdowns and adjustments. Think hard about the long term.I was on a panel discussion on this topic on TV just hours after Trump made his initial 25% announcement, and I mentioned an interplay between geo-politics and geo-economics. Trump is annoyed that his Ukraine-Russia play is not making much headway, and also that BRICS is making progress towards de-dollarization. India is caught in this crossfire (‘collateral damage') but the geo-economic facts on the ground are not favorable to Trump.I am in general agreement with Trump on his objectives of bringing manufacturing and investment back to the US, but I am not sure that he will succeed, and anyway his strong-arm tactics may backfire. I consider below what India should be prepared to do to turn adversity into opportunity.The anti-Thucydides Trap and the baleful influence of Whitehall on Deep StateWhat is remarkable, though, is that Trump 2.0 seems to be indistinguishable from the Deep State: I wondered last month if the Deep State had ‘turned' Trump. The main reason many people supported Trump in the first place was the damage the Deep State was wreaking on the US under the Obama-Biden regime. But it appears that the resourceful Deep State has now co-opted Trump for its agenda, and I can only speculate how.The net result is that there is the anti-Thucydides Trap: here is the incumbent power, the US, actively supporting the insurgent power, China, instead of suppressing it, as Graham Allison suggested as the historical pattern. It, in all fairness, did not start with Trump, but with Nixon in China in 1971. In 1985, the US trade deficit with China was $6 million. In 1986, $1.78 billion. In 1995, $35 billion.But it ballooned after China entered the WTO in 2001. $202 billion in 2005; $386 billion in 2022.In 2025, after threatening China with 150% tariffs, Trump retreated by postponing them; besides he has caved in to Chinese demands for Nvidia chips and for exemptions from Iran oil sanctions if I am not mistaken.All this can be explained by one word: leverage. China lured the US with the siren-song of the cost-leader ‘China price', tempting CEOs and Wall Street, who sleepwalked into surrender to the heft of the Chinese supply chain.Now China has cornered Trump via its monopoly over various things, the most obvious of which is rare earths. Trump really has no option but to give in to Chinese blackmail. That must make him furious: in addition to his inability to get Putin to listen to him, Xi is also ignoring him. Therefore, he will take out his frustrations on others, such as India, the EU, Japan, etc. Never mind that he's burning bridges with them.There's a Malayalam proverb that's relevant here: “angadiyil thottathinu ammayodu”. Meaning, you were humiliated in the marketplace, so you come home and take it out on your mother. This is quite likely what Trump is doing, because he believes India et al will not retaliate. In fact Japan and the EU did not retaliate, but gave in, also promising to invest large sums in the US. India could consider a different path: not active conflict, but not giving in either, because its equations with the US are different from those of the EU or Japan.Even the normally docile Japanese are beginning to notice.Beyond that, I suggested a couple of years ago that Deep State has a plan to enter into a condominium agreement with China, so that China gets Asia, and the US gets the Americas and the Pacific/Atlantic. This is exactly like the Vatican-brokered medieval division of the world between Spain and Portugal, and it probably will be equally bad for everyone else. And incidentally it makes the Quad infructuous, and deepens distrust of American motives.The Chinese are sure that they have achieved the condominium, or rather forced the Americans into it. Here is a headline from the Financial Express about their reaction to the tariffs: they are delighted that the principal obstacle in their quest for hegemony, a US-India military and economic alliance, is being blown up by Trump, and they lose no opportunity to deride India as not quite up to the mark, whereas they and the US have achieved a G2 detente.Two birds with one stone: gloat about the breakdown in the US-India relationship, and exhibit their racist disdain for India yet again.They laugh, but I bet India can do an end-run around them. As noted above, the G2 is a lot like the division of the world into Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence in 1494. Well, that didn't end too well for either of them. They had their empires, which they looted for gold and slaves, but it made them fat, dumb and happy. The Dutch, English, and French capitalized on more dynamic economies, flexible colonial systems, and aggressive competition, overtaking the Iberian powers in global influence by the 17th century. This is a salutary historical parallel.I have long suspected that the US Deep State is being led by the nose by the malign Whitehall (the British Deep State): I call it the ‘master-blaster' syndrome. On August 6th, there was indirect confirmation of this in ex-British PM Boris Johnson's tweet about India. Let us remember he single-handedly ruined the chances of a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine War in 2022. Whitehall's mischief and meddling all over, if you read between the lines.Did I mention the British Special Force's views? Ah, Whitehall is getting a bit sloppy in its propaganda.Wait, so is India important (according to Whitehall) or unimportant (according to Trump)?Since I am very pro-American, I have a word of warning to Trump: you trust perfidious Albion at your peril. Their country is ruined, and they will not rest until they ruin yours too.I also wonder if there are British paw-prints in a recent and sudden spate of racist attacks on Indians in Ireland. A 6-year old girl was assaulted and kicked in the private parts. A nurse was gang-raped by a bunch of teenagers. Ireland has never been so racist against Indians (yes, I do remember the sad case of Savita Halappanavar, but that was religious bigotry more than racism). And I remember sudden spikes in anti-Indian attacks in Australia and Canada, both British vassals.There is no point in Indians whining about how the EU and America itself are buying more oil, palladium, rare earths, uranium etc. from Russia than India is. I am sorry to say this, but Western nations are known for hypocrisy. For example, exactly 80 years ago they dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, but not on Germany or Italy. Why? The answer is uncomfortable. Lovely post-facto rationalization, isn't it?Remember the late lamented British East India Company that raped and pillaged India?Applying the three winning strategies to geo-economicsAs a professor of business strategy and innovation, I emphasize to my students that there are three broad ways of gaining an advantage over others: 1. Be the cost leader, 2. Be the most customer-intimate player, 3. Innovate. The US as a nation is patently not playing the cost leader; it does have some customer intimacy, but it is shrinking; its strength is in innovation.If you look at comparative advantage, the US at one time had strengths in all three of the above. Because it had the scale of a large market (and its most obvious competitors in Europe were decimated by world wars) America did enjoy an ability to be cost-competitive, especially as the dollar is the global default reserve currency. It demonstrated this by pushing through the Plaza Accords, forcing the Japanese yen to appreciate, destroying their cost advantage.In terms of customer intimacy, the US is losing its edge. Take cars for example: Americans practically invented them, and dominated the business, but they are in headlong retreat now because they simply don't make cars that people want outside the US: Japanese, Koreans, Germans and now Chinese do. Why were Ford and GM forced to leave the India market? Their “world cars” are no good in value-conscious India and other emerging markets.Innovation, yes, has been an American strength. Iconic Americans like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs led the way in product and process innovation. US universities have produced idea after idea, and startups have ignited Silicon Valley. In fact Big Tech and aerospace/armaments are the biggest areas where the US leads these days.The armaments and aerospace tradeThat is pertinent because of two reasons: one is Trump's peevishness at India's purchase of weapons from Russia (even though that has come down from 70+% of imports to 36% according to SIPRI); two is the fact that there are significant services and intangible imports by India from the US, of for instance Big Tech services, even some routed through third countries like Ireland.Armaments and aerospace purchases from the US by India have gone up a lot: for example the Apache helicopters that arrived recently, the GE 404 engines ordered for India's indigenous fighter aircraft, Predator drones and P8-i Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft. I suspect Trump is intent on pushing India to buy F-35s, the $110-million dollar 5th generation fighters.Unfortunately, the F-35 has a spotty track record. There were two crashes recently, one in Albuquerque in May, and the other on July 31 in Fresno, and that's $220 million dollars gone. Besides, the spectacle of a hapless British-owned F-35B sitting, forlorn, in the rain, in Trivandrum airport for weeks, lent itself to trolls, who made it the butt of jokes. I suspect India has firmly rebuffed Trump on this front, which has led to his focus on Russian arms.There might be other pushbacks too. Personally, I think India does need more P-8i submarine hunter-killer aircraft to patrol the Bay of Bengal, but India is exerting its buyer power. There are rumors of pauses in orders for Javelin and Stryker missiles as well.On the civilian aerospace front, I am astonished that all the media stories about Air India 171 and the suspicion that Boeing and/or General Electric are at fault have disappeared without a trace. Why? There had been the big narrative push to blame the poor pilots, and now that there is more than reasonable doubt that these US MNCs are to blame, there is a media blackout?Allegations about poor manufacturing practices by Boeing in North Charleston, South Carolina by whistleblowers have been damaging for the company's brand: this is where the 787 Dreamliners are put together. It would not be surprising if there is a slew of cancellations of orders for Boeing aircraft, with customers moving to Airbus. Let us note Air India and Indigo have placed some very large, multi-billion dollar orders with Boeing that may be in jeopardy.India as a consuming economy, and the services trade is hugely in the US' favorMany observers have pointed out the obvious fact that India is not an export-oriented economy, unlike, say, Japan or China. It is more of a consuming economy with a large, growing and increasingly less frugal population, and therefore it is a target for exporters rather than a competitor for exporting countries. As such, the impact of these US tariffs on India will be somewhat muted, and there are alternative destinations for India's exports, if need be.While Trump has focused on merchandise trade and India's modest surplus there, it is likely that there is a massive services trade, which is in the US' favor. All those Big Tech firms, such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and so on run a surplus in the US' favor, which may not be immediately evident because they route their sales through third countries, e.g. Ireland.These are the figures from the US Trade Representative, and quite frankly I don't believe them: there are a lot of invisible services being sold to India, and the value of Indian data is ignored.In addition to the financial implications, there are national security concerns. Take the case of Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, which arbitrarily turned off services to Indian oil retailer Nayara on the flimsy grounds that the latter had substantial investment from Russia's Rosneft. This is an example of jurisdictional over-reach by US companies, which has dire consequences. India has been lax about controlling Big Tech, and this has to change.India is Meta's largest customer base. Whatsapp is used for practically everything. Which means that Meta has access to enormous amounts of Indian customer data, for which India is not even enforcing local storage. This is true of all other Big Tech (see OpenAI's Sam Altman below): they are playing fast and loose with Indian data, which is not in India's interest at all.Data is the new oil, says The Economist magazine. So how much should Meta, OpenAI et al be paying for Indian data? Meta is worth trillions of dollars, OpenAI half a trillion. How much of that can be attributed to Indian data?There is at least one example of how India too can play the digital game: UPI. Despite ham-handed efforts to now handicap UPI with a fee (thank you, brilliant government bureaucrats, yes, go ahead and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs), it has become a contender in a field that has long been dominated by the American duopoly of Visa and Mastercard. In other words, India can scale up and compete.It is unfortunate that India has not built up its own Big Tech behind a firewall as has been done behind the Great Firewall of China. But it is not too late. Is it possible for India-based cloud service providers to replace US Big Tech like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure? Yes, there is at least one player in that market: Zoho.Second, what are the tariffs on Big Tech exports to India these days? What if India were to decide to impose a 50% tax on revenue generated in India through advertisement or through sales of services, mirroring the US's punitive taxes on Indian goods exports? Let me hasten to add that I am not suggesting this, it is merely a hypothetical argument.There could also be non-tariff barriers as China has implemented, but not India: data locality laws, forced use of local partners, data privacy laws like the EU's GDPR, anti-monopoly laws like the EU's Digital Markets Act, strict application of IPR laws like 3(k) that absolutely prohibits the patenting of software, and so on. India too can play legalistic games. This is a reason US agri-products do not pass muster: genetically modified seeds, and milk from cows fed with cattle feed from blood, offal and ground-up body parts.Similarly, in the ‘information' industry, India is likely to become the largest English-reading country in the world. I keep getting come-hither emails from the New York Times offering me $1 a month deals on their product: they want Indian customers. There are all these American media companies present in India, untrammelled by content controls or taxes. What if India were to give a choice to Bloomberg, Reuters, NYTimes, WaPo, NPR et al: 50% tax, or exit?This attack on peddlers of fake information and manufacturing consent I do suggest, and I have been suggesting for years. It would make no difference whatsoever to India if these media outlets were ejected, and they surely could cover India (well, basically what they do is to demean India) just as well from abroad. Out with them: good riddance to bad rubbish.What India needs to doI believe India needs to play the long game. It has to use its shatrubodha to realize that the US is not its enemy: in Chanakyan terms, the US is the Far Emperor. The enemy is China, or more precisely the Chinese Empire. Han China is just a rump on their south-eastern coast, but it is their conquered (and restive) colonies such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, that give them their current heft.But the historical trends are against China. It has in the past had stable governments for long periods, based on strong (and brutal) imperial power. Then comes the inevitable collapse, when the center falls apart, and there is absolute chaos. It is quite possible, given various trends, including demographic changes, that this may happen to China by 2050.On the other hand, (mostly thanks, I acknowledge, to China's manufacturing growth), the center of gravity of the world economy has been steadily shifting towards Asia. The momentum might swing towards India if China stumbles, but in any case the era of Atlantic dominance is probably gone for good. That was, of course, only a historical anomaly. Asia has always dominated: see Angus Maddison's magisterial history of the world economy, referred to below as well.I am reminded of the old story of the king berating his court poet for calling him “the new moon” and the emperor “the full moon”. The poet escaped being punished by pointing out that the new moon is waxing and the full moon is waning.This is the long game India has to keep in mind. Things are coming together for India to a great extent: in particular the demographic dividend, improved infrastructure, fiscal prudence, and the increasing centrality of the Indian Ocean as the locus of trade and commerce.India can attempt to gain competitive advantage in all three ways outlined above:* Cost-leadership. With a large market (assuming companies are willing to invest at scale), a low-cost labor force, and with a proven track-record of frugal innovation, India could well aim to be a cost-leader in selected areas of manufacturing. But this requires government intervention in loosening monetary policy and in reducing barriers to ease of doing business* Customer-intimacy. What works in highly value-conscious India could well work in other developing countries. For instance, the economic environment in ASEAN is largely similar to India's, and so Indian products should appeal to their residents; similarly with East Africa. Thus the Indian Ocean Rim with its huge (and in Africa's case, rapidly growing) population should be a natural fit for Indian products* Innovation. This is the hardest part, and it requires a new mindset in education and industry, to take risks and work at the bleeding edge of technology. In general, Indians have been content to replicate others' innovations at lower cost or do jugaad (which cannot scale up). To do real, disruptive innovation, first of all the services mindset should transition to a product mindset (sorry, Raghuram Rajan). Second, the quality of human capital must be improved. Third, there should be patient risk capital. Fourth, there should be entrepreneurs willing to try risky things. All of these are difficult, but doable.And what is the end point of this game? Leverage. The ability to compel others to buy from you.China has demonstrated this through its skill at being a cost-leader in industry after industry, often hollowing out entire nations through means both fair and foul. These means include far-sighted industrial policy including the acquisition of skills, technology, and raw materials, as well as hidden subsidies that support massive scaling, which ends up driving competing firms elsewhere out of business. India can learn a few lessons from them. One possible lesson is building capabilities, as David Teece of UC Berkeley suggested in 1997, that can span multiple products, sectors and even industries: the classic example is that of Nikon, whose optics strength helps it span industries such as photography, printing, and photolithography for chip manufacturing. Here is an interesting snapshot of China's capabilities today.2025 is, in a sense, a point of inflection for India just as the crisis in 1991 was. India had been content to plod along at the Nehruvian Rate of Growth of 2-3%, believing this was all it could achieve, as a ‘wounded civilization'. From that to a 6-7% growth rate is a leap, but it is not enough, nor is it testing the boundaries of what India can accomplish.1991 was the crisis that turned into an opportunity by accident. 2025 is a crisis that can be carefully and thoughtfully turned into an opportunity.The Idi Amin syndrome and the 1000 Talents program with AIThere is a key area where an American error may well be a windfall for India. This is based on the currently fashionable H1-B bashing which is really a race-bashing of Indians, and which has been taken up with gusto by certain MAGA folks. Once again, I suspect the baleful influence of Whitehall behind it, but whatever the reason, it looks like Indians are going to have a hard time settling down in the US.There are over a million Indians on H1-Bs, a large number of them software engineers, let us assume for convenience there are 250,000 of them. Given country caps of exactly 9800 a year, they have no realistic chance of getting a Green Card in the near future, and given the increasingly fraught nature of life there for brown people, they may leave the US, and possibly return to India..I call this the Idi Amin syndrome. In 1972, the dictator of Uganda went on a rampage against Indian-origin people in his country, and forcibly expelled 80,000 of them, because they were dominating the economy. There were unintended consequences: those who were ejected mostly went to the US and UK, and they have in many cases done well. But Uganda's economy virtually collapsed.That's a salutary experience. I am by no means saying that the US economy would collapse, but am pointing to the resilience of the Indians who were expelled. If, similarly, Trump forces a large number of Indians to return to India, that might well be a case of short-term pain and long-term gain: urvashi-shapam upakaram, as in the Malayalam phrase.Their return would be akin to what happened in China and Taiwan with their successful effort to attract their diaspora back. The Chinese program was called 1000 Talents, and they scoured the globe for academics and researchers of Chinese origin, and brought them back with attractive incentives and large budgets. They had a major role in energizing the Chinese economy.Similarly, Taiwan with Hsinchu University attracted high-quality talent, among which was the founder of TSMC, the globally dominant chip giant.And here is Trump offering to India on a platter at least 100,000 software engineers, especially at a time when generativeAI is decimating low-end jobs everywhere. They can work on some very compelling projects that could revolutionize Indian education, up-skilling and so on, and I am not at liberty to discuss them. Suffice to say that these could turbo-charge the Indian software industry and get it away from mundane, routine body-shopping type jobs.ConclusionThe Trump tariff tantrum is definitely a short-term problem for India, but it can be turned around, and turned into an opportunity, if only the country plays its cards right and focuses on building long-term comparative advantages and accepting the gift of a mis-step by Trump in geo-economics.In geo-politics, India and the US need each other to contain China, and so that part, being so obvious, will be taken care of more or less by default.Thus, overall, the old SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. On balance, I am of the opinion that the threats contain in them the germs of opportunities. It is up to Indians to figure out how to take advantage of them. This is your game to win or lose, India!4150 words, 9 Aug 2025 This is a public episode.

O sul do Cáucaso — formado por Azerbaijão, Armênia e Geórgia — está mudando diante dos nossos olhos. A guerra da Rússia contra a Ucrânia e o confronto entre Irã e Israel estão transformando a região num campo de batalha geopolítico onde potências médias desafiam impérios em declínio.Neste vídeo, analisamos como o Azerbaijão ascendeu como potência regional, como a Armênia tenta romper com Moscou e reabrir suas fronteiras com a Turquia, e como a Geórgia mergulha numa autocracia pró-Rússia. Uma história de traições, acordos secretos e uma luta por liberdade e soberania — com consequências que vão muito além do Cáucaso.

God has, in some degree, made us in His image and according to His likeness. There is no definite statement made in Scripture as to what this means, but we can infer some of the things it must mean from what the Bible tells us about mankind. First, being in God's image must include sharing the holiness of His character. Second must be the fact that man was not intended to die. Third, we are persons capable of having a person-to-person relationship with God. This is not to say that we are in any way divine. We are not. We are creatures made from the ground like the other animals (Ge 2:7,19), yet God gave us the capacity to converse with Him, love Him, worship Him, obey Him, etc. to such a degree that a human could be deemed a "friend of God." The fourth way in which humans share God's image and likeness is that we were intended to share in the process of extending God's authority over the other forms of life on this planet. Listen to find out why God would make us like Him and what that tells us about how we are to treat others.  To receive a free copy of Dr. Steve Schell's newest book Study Verse by Verse: Hebrews, email us at info@lifelessonspublishing.com and ask for your copy at no charge!  Also check out our website at lifelessonspublishing.com for additional resources for pastors and leaders.

Time to kick back and review where US airpower stands, especially the US Air Force. And it's air show season, so the perfect guest for both is Doug Birkey, Executive Director of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, also a Collings Foundation insider and just back from Oshkosh. Plus headlines in airpower. All powered by GE!

We are back on the road this week for an exciting visit with Emily Morris, CEO and Founder, and Tom Cuthbert, CTO, of Emrgy. Our team traveled to one of Emrgy's hydropower facilities on Colorado's Front Range to see their technology up close and in action before sitting down for a hydropower focused discussion. Emily founded Emrgy in 2014 and brings 15 years of experience in emerging hard tech development. Before launching Emrgy, she managed multi-million dollar federal contracts at AMT, bringing innovative technologies from ideation to commercialization. Tom joined Emrgy in 2020 after serving in several leadership roles at GE, most recently as CTO of Energy Storage for GE Renewable Energy. He has more than 20 years of experience in technology development across the automotive, rail, and energy sectors. Emrgy delivers low-cost power generation through innovative hardware and software that integrates seamlessly into existing water infrastructure. The company enables their customers to monetize previously unrealized energy assets, without anchoring or modifying their infrastructure. We were thrilled to visit with Emily and Tom and see Emrgy's technology in action. In our conversation, we discuss the current state of hydropower, including the regulatory and environmental challenges near federally protected natural waterways and the shift from traditional to modern approaches. Emily shares the origin of Emrgy's technology and its evolution from a defense application to commercial energy. Tom details Emrgy's hydrokinetic turbines, which can be deployed in existing water infrastructure with minimal impact and high adaptability. We explore the vast water infrastructure network and market opportunity, with over two million miles of canals globally, along with recent advances in power electronics and regulations that enable deployment. We explore the environmental and operational advantages of hydropower, the predictable power output made possible by controlled water flows, and applications across rural and urban water infrastructure. We cover Emrgy's dual monetization model (power generation and water conservation), project economics, cost-reduction targets, and speed-to-market advantages. We discuss regulatory pathways, including engagement with the Bureau of Reclamation and local water districts, incentives from the OBBB and other federal programs, and the market opportunity within aging water infrastructure. We also examine the speed of deployment and preference for incremental rollouts, interest from hyperscalers driven by power and water needs, permitting challenges near federally protected waterways, the benefits of co-locating with water infrastructure, and the advantages of innovating as a small company versus large incumbents. We end by taking a look at Emrgy's technology and discussing the rising value of water, hydropower's potential to generate hundreds of megawatts of renewable baseload power, the growing importance of decentralized energy systems near load centers, the long-term outlook, and more. We greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley kicked things off by noting that bond markets are trading sideways this week after a tumultuous week last week, which saw a Nonfarm Payrolls report print well below expectations and sent bond yields plummeting (10-year yield trading today at 4.2%). On the broader U.S. equity market front, the S&P 500 seems to be meandering so far this week after last week's Nonfarm Payrolls report pushed it down a couple of percent. While most of the Mag 7 Big Tech companies have reported Q2 results, plenty of S&P 500 companies still have earnings to release. Turning to energy equities, most Oil Service Companies have reported Q2 results, and 2H25 guidance has been adjusted lower, mostly due to rising service cost deflation. This week's energy earnings will be concentrated on E&Ps, Midstream, and Electric Utilities. Mike also highlighted Brookfield's $6 bil

Det bör finnas en kvantpartikel som hör till gravitationen. Nu föreslår forskare i Stockholm ett sätt att hitta den. Lyckas man är det ett steg på vägen mot svaret på fysikens största fråga. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 1 oktober 2024. Hur ska man få gravitationsteorin att gå ihop med kvantmekaniken? Det har fysikerna länge undrat. Gravitationen är vi bekanta med till vardags och den fungerar bra också när det gäller vad som händer i rymden, medan kvantmekaniken väl beskriver det som händer i partiklarnas lilla lilla värld. Samtidigt beskriver de ju samma verklighet och måste på något sätt gå ihop.Ett första steg på den vägen kan vara att hitta gravitonen, gravitationens kvantpartikel. Men hur ska det gå till? Genom att borsta av en teknik från 1960-talet och samtidigt dra nytta av moderna gravitationsvågsexperiment, föreslår Igor Pikovski och hans medarbetare vid Stockholms universitet.Medverkande: Ulf Danielsson, professor i teoretisk fysik Uppsala Universitet, Igor Pikovski, forskare i fysik vid Stockholms universitet.Programledare: Camilla Widebeckcamilla.widebeck@sverigesradio.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sverigesradio.se

In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast Book Club, host Andrew Walker is joined by Byrne Hobart of The Diff to explore Softwar, the 2003 biography of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Together, they dissect the contradictions of Ellison's public and private personas, Oracle's aggressive sales culture, and the book's surprisingly prescient predictions about tech's future. They reflect on ERP nightmares, Oracle's early brushes with collapse, and its surprisingly fertile alumni network. The conversation probes the blurred line between visionary leadership and red flags, while tracing Ellison's uncanny resemblance to figures like Elon Musk. From petty footnotes to PR plays, it's a sharp look into one of tech's most enduring empires._______________________________________________________________[00:00:00] Introduction to the podcast and book.[00:01:48] Byrne joins the episode.[00:01:49] Quick disclaimer on investment advice.[00:02:37] Skipping the boating sections in book.[00:03:30] Initial thoughts on Oracle in 2003.[00:04:00] Larry Ellison's personality contradictions.[00:05:45] Oracle's sales tactics and benchmark claims.[00:07:00] Predictions on mobile and distributed systems.[00:08:44] ERP transition challenges explained.[00:10:03] Reasons to bet against Oracle.[00:12:04] Oracle's management style and red flags.[00:14:23] Intelligence connections and conspiracies.[00:15:54] Government ID advocacy post-9/11.[00:17:24] Comparing Larry Ellison to Elon Musk.[00:19:45] Book's structure and humorous footnotes.[00:22:55] Seibel rivalry and Oracle acquisitions.[00:25:11] PR's role in Oracle's strategy.[00:26:40] Market perceptions and quarterly focus.[00:30:03] Importance of sell-side analysts back then.[00:31:29] Anecdotes about market cap drops.[00:33:48] Oracle's executive alumni shaping tech.[00:36:23] Differences in tech executive pipelines.[00:38:51] GE's internal business training system.[00:41:09] Ellison's hiring practices and red flags.[00:44:05] PeopleSoft DOJ case and hypocrisy.[00:46:43] Safra Katz's rise at Oracle.[00:49:19] Oracle's leadership transition dynamics.[00:51:54] Book's narrative style and structure.[00:52:56] Author's omission of Ellison's childhood.[00:55:13] Ellison's charisma and software predictions.[00:58:33] Ellison's lasting influence and vision.[00:59:45] Tease for next month's book selection.Links:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

The payments landscape is undergoing dramatic transformation, demanding new approaches to leadership and innovation. Karen Xu, Chief Financial Officer for North America at Ingenico, brings a fresh perspective on navigating this evolution while balancing personal and professional priorities.Growing up in Shanghai's French Concession sparked Karen's curiosity to explore the world, eventually leading her to America with a full scholarship to Emory University. After building expertise at consulting powerhouses and industrial giants like GE and Honeywell, Karen made the pivotal transition to Ingenico seeking greater impact in a private equity-backed environment. Within months of joining, she transformed the North American region into the company's top performer across all financial metrics.Karen shares a defining moment when her first-grade son wished for "mommy to be happier," prompting her career pivot from a demanding global CFO role requiring 70-hour workweeks to her current position. This recalibration allowed her to maintain leadership impact while reclaiming family time - a decision she reflects on with satisfaction rather than regret.The conversation explores why payments is more welcoming to women than traditional manufacturing sectors, and why this matters when women influence 70-80% of payment decisions. Karen believes women's natural empathy, collaborative approach, and diverse perspectives drive innovation essential for the industry's future. For emerging professionals, Karen offers wisdom gained from mentors who shaped her approach to leadership: "bloom where you are planted" and develop the ability to see what others cannot. The most successful payment solutions will combine trust, ease of use, and scalability - with women leaders positioned to excel by staying close to customer needs and leveraging data insights.

Carl Quintanilla, David Faber, and Jim Cramer began the show by breaking down the latest trade deal between U.S. and Japan. President Trump announced the ‘massive' trade deal on Truth Social, saying that the agreement includes “reciprocal” tariffs of 15% on the country's exports to the U.S., with auto duties reportedly being lowered to that level as well. Faber later broke down some reporting on OpenAI and xAi both seeking additional capital, as the race for AI expansion continues. The desk also took some time to remember former Honeywell CEO and longtime GE executive, Larry Bossidy, who passed away at age 90.  Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

On a trip to Las Vegas, Chris Riccobono found himself wearing the same J.Crew shirt over and over; it was the only dress shirt he had that looked good untucked. All of his other button-downs were too long and looked sloppy. His buddies all said they had the same problem, so Chris decided to seize the opportunity and launch UNTUCKit with a friend. Keeping his day job as a GE salesman, he embarked on a crash course in how not to make a shirt. Thousands of defective button-downs later, UNTUCKit hit its stride, and the big fashion brands began to copy the untucked look. In 2020, UNTUCKit came within inches of a lucrative acquisition, then nearly went bankrupt, but today has grown into a thriving brand. This episode was produced by J.C.
