BMW i3 OPENS RESERVATIONS WITH 912 KM WLTP RANGEBMW has opened reservations for the new electric i3, led by the 50 xDrive with a 108.7 kWh battery, 345 kW dual-motor AWD, up to 912 km/567 miles WLTP range and 400 kW charging that can add up to 423 km/263 miles in 10 minutes. Prices start at €65,900 in Germany and $61,500 before destination in the US, with UK deliveries due autumn 2026, bringing BMW's Neue Klasse technology into the core 3 Series market with genuinely long-range capability.BMW PLANS ENTRY-LEVEL NEUE KLASSE EV FOR 2028BMW is planning a smaller Neue Klasse EV for Europe in 2028, reportedly known internally as NB0 and expected to become the i1, with rear-wheel drive and possible dual-motor versions rather than the front-wheel-drive layout of today's 1 Series. With the combustion 1 Series expected to remain into the early 2030s, BMW could sell two similarly sized hatchbacks in parallel as Neue Klasse technology moves into a more price-sensitive part of the market.RIVIAN R2 PET CAM WON'T WORK WITH PEOPLE INSIDERivian will add Pet Cam to every R2 through an OTA update, allowing owners using Pet Comfort Mode to view the cabin through the colour rear-view-mirror camera and receive optional snapshots once per minute. The feature will automatically disable if it detects a person inside, a deliberate privacy safeguard that highlights both the flexibility and surveillance risks of increasingly software-defined vehicles.RENAULT MEGANE DROPS TO £28,245 AND CHARGES FASTERThe refreshed Renault Megane E-Tech Electric now starts at £28,245 in the UK after the £3,750 Electric Car Grant, with a 67 kWh LFP battery, up to 306 miles WLTP range and faster 165 kW DC charging capable of 15–80% in about 24 minutes. The combination of a sub-£30,000 price, more than 300 miles of quoted range and shorter charging stops substantially improves its competitiveness against mainstream electric hatchbacks and crossovers.GOTION LIFTS SOLID-STATE BATTERY GOAL TO 400 Wh/kgGotion has raised its sulfide solid-state battery energy-density target from 350 to 400 Wh/kg after commissioning a 0.2 GWh pilot line, conducting vehicle tests and designing a planned 2 GWh production line. Small-scale production has previously been targeted for 2027 and mass production for 2030, but 400 Wh/kg remains a development target rather than a specification for cells approaching series production.EUROPE COULD HAVE ENOUGH EU-MADE BATTERY CELLS BY 2030A new analysis concludes that Europe could have enough EU-made battery cells by 2030 to meet demand within the study's scope, including corporate and private EVs, meaning cell manufacturing capacity itself need not block stronger European-content rules. The bigger challenge is extending localisation beyond cells into cathodes and other battery components so that industrial policy builds a broader European supply chain rather than simply European cell factories.MERCEDES GETS FIRST LOOK AT PROLOGIUM'S GEN4 CELLSMercedes-Benz has secured priority access to ProLogium's Gen4 cells for electrical, thermal and safety testing, extending a partnership dating to 2016 but stopping well short of a production commitment. ProLogium claims its non-flammable inorganic electrolyte and ceramic separator can improve safety, energy density, charging and cold-weather performance, while its planned Dunkirk factory could eventually reach 44 GWh annually if the technology proves suitable for production.LEAPMOTOR C10 RAISES CHARGING FROM 84 TO 120 KWLeapmotor's 2027 C10 update raises DC charging on the 69.9 kWh Pro BEV from 84 to 120 kW, cutting a 30–80% charge to about 24 minutes, while the 81.9 kWh ProMax offers up to 519 km WLTP range. Other changes include more luggage space, a front trunk and upgraded infotainment, but the faster charging is the most important improvement because it removes one of the cheaper BEV's clearest long-distance weaknesses.T&E SAYS EV DEPRECIATION GAP SHRINKS 80%Transport & Environment says the apparent depreciation gap between EVs and combustion cars falls from 12.9 to 2.6 percentage points when subsidies, acquisition taxes, inflation, fleet composition and changing new-car prices are included in the calculation. The analysis uses Autovista transaction data from Germany, France, Italy and Spain but is T&E's own reinterpretation rather than a new dataset, arguing that EV depreciation remains higher but is substantially overstated by conventional comparisons.PORSCHE BOSS REJECTS ANTI-EV LABEL AS PETROL MACAN RETURNSPorsche's chief executive has rejected claims that he is anti-EV as the company prepares another petrol Macan for 2028 following weaker electric Macan demand, with EV sales down 40% year-on-year in the first half while combustion Macan sales rose 2%. Porsche is still developing electric models including the 718, but its strategy is becoming deliberately mixed as it balances EV investment against stronger combustion demand and profitability in some markets.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Cognitive Scores in a Small Trial In a 24-week trial involving people with mild cognitive impairment, participants assigned to electrical stimulation at vagus-innervated parts of the ear improved by an average of 3.2 points on a general cognitive test, compared with 0.3 points in a sham-stimulation group. Host Dave Asprey explores the proposed connection between the vagus nerve and the locus coeruleus, a brainstem region involved in attention and learning. He explains why an improved test score is intriguing but does not show that vagus nerve stimulation prevents Alzheimer's disease—or that a consumer device will reproduce the study's results.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36150665/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13214873/ https://theconversation.com/vagus-nerve-stimulation-shows-promise-as-a-way-to-counter-alzheimers-disease-and-age-related-memory-loss-269465 ~~~Nearly 500 Cat Tumors Reveal Cancer Genes Shared With Humans Researchers analyzed 493 matched tumor and normal-tissue samples across 13 types of cancer in domestic cats. They found alterations in genes familiar to human cancer researchers, including TP53, and tested whether a mutation called FBXW7 might predict drug sensitivity in lab-grown models of feline mammary tumors. Host Dave Asprey examines why naturally occurring cancers in pets could help scientists investigate treatments across species, while making clear that a promising response in six laboratory tumor models is not a proven treatment for cats or people.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7618901/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41712721/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260924231826.htm ~~~Twin-Family Study Challenges a Simple Explanation for Inherited Intelligence Why do parents and children often score similarly on tests of cognitive ability? Researchers using Germany's TwinLife data found that genetic transmission explained more of that resemblance than the particular shared-home-environment pathway their model tested. Host Dave Asprey unpacks the distinction between why relatives resemble one another and whether a child's environment matters. The study does not show that parenting, education, or other experiences have no effect on cognition.pub.uni-bielefeld+1 Sources: https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/2993432 https://www.psypost.org/genetics-not-shared-environments-drives-parent-child-similarities-in-cognitive-ability/ ~~~Mulberry Compounds May Change Gut Bacteria and Metabolism A review of mulberry research highlights how leaves, fruit, and differently processed extracts contain distinct mixtures of compounds that gut microbes may use. In mouse experiments, a fraction combining mulberry polyphenols and polysaccharides produced more favorable microbiome and metabolic changes than either fraction alone; transferring microbes from treated mice passed along some of those effects. Host Dave Asprey explores the idea that a plant extract's preparation may matter as much as its name—and why the findings do not yet establish a microbiome benefit from mulberry products in humans.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13406227/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260928100551.htm ~~~Magnesium Changes Vitamin D Metabolism—But Not Always in the Same Direction Magnesium helps regulate the pathways that process vitamin D, but “more magnesium means more vitamin D” is too simple. In a 12-week randomized trial involving 180 adults, magnesium supplementation changed a measured vitamin D metabolite differently depending on participants' starting vitamin D levels: the modeled difference was positive at 30 ng/mL and negative at 50 ng/mL. Host Dave Asprey explains why this matters to people tracking supplement stacks and bloodwork, while distinguishing a change in a lab marker from a demonstrated health benefit.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6693398/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29480918/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180226122548.htm This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, pet owners, parents, and anyone trying to separate a compelling biological mechanism from a proven health intervention. Host Dave Asprey examines brain stimulation and memory, what cat cancers could teach human researchers, how genes and environment contribute to cognitive similarity, whether mulberry's microbiome effects translate beyond mice, and why nutrient interactions are rarely as simple as a supplement headline suggests. Several studies discussed here predate this week's coverage; this is a research roundup, not a list of five newly published trials.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+4 New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Today we look at the crush lower in short term sovereign bond yields, especially in Europe, where Germany's bonds were bid while French and even Italian longer dated bonds remain stressed, a key focus for European markets and increasingly for the euro currency. The retreat in most sovereign bond yields has buoyed market sentiment today, but some underlying stress signs are still there, and credit spreads were wider yesterday elsewhere as well. Elsewhere, new geopolitical developments are worth paying attention to, including this weekend's election in Brazil.

Another all-European podcast for you this week, as Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List for an evening looking at the past week in Hackaday. And this week there is a particularly good selection to look at. A while back we showed you a project that put synthetic aperture radar on a drone, generating extremely detailed imaging of the terrain beneath it. This week we had an update, in which an ingenious positioning accuracy fix gave it an astonishing increase in resolution. On top of that project we have 3D lightfield image display with the unexpected help of a Nipkow mechanical TV scanning drum. Geting your own microprocessor manufactured, DOOM in a database server, and a comprehensive array of unusual sensors in a tricorder project complete the picture. Finally we have a couple of space stories and Jenny describing the preserved industrial delights of the Ruhr valley in Germany. You'll want to go there, but first you'll want to listen to the podcast.

1767 ARABIACONTENTS-THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-30-2026Oil Prices Defy Market ReportsMichael Bernstam examines a major disconnect between oil reporting and market conditions, where crude oil benchmark prices remain extremely high at $103.50 per barrel despite reports that most Middle Eastern oil is back on the market. Up to 17.1 million barrels per day are moving via alternative routes, such as the Omani route and Saudipipelines, protected by the U.S. Navy. Meanwhile, global oil reserves were depleted by 57 million barrels, and China has resumed imports to refill its reserves. Furthermore, European countries like Germany are seeking energy partnerships with Kazakhstan to bypass Russian political and economic dependence. (1)Hijack Attempt Aboard FlyDubai FlightBill Roggio analyzes an incident aboard a FlyDubai flight bound for Tel Aviv where a co-pilot attempted to crash the airplane after stabbing the pilot, but was subdued by courageous passengers and crew. Roggio critiques the label "lone wolf," noting that it often dangerously disassociates attackers from broader terrorist networks, much like historic cases linked to radical planners. The discussion highlights strict security protocols for Israeli flights and raises serious questions about how a weapon was smuggled past screening. Separately, British authorities arrested individuals connected to state-sponsored Iranian threats, illustrating persistent global security risks amid early reporting uncertainties. (2)Aging Triad Demands Urgent ModernizationPeter Huessy reflects on Cold War civil defense drills and stresses the urgent necessity of modernizing America's aging nuclear triad. The U.S. military currently operates 42-year-old submarines, 55-year-old Minuteman III ICBMs, and 70-year-old B-52 bombers that risk rusting into obsolescence without modernization. Huessy details historical arms control pacts, noting how exiting the 1972 ABM Treaty allowed the U.S. to build defensive interceptor systems against emerging missile threats from states like North Korea. Facing nuclear build-ups and aggressive posturing from Russia, China, and North Korea, the U.S. relies on extended nuclear deterrence and allied cooperation to maintain strategic stability. (3)Beijing Blocks Second Thomas ResupplyCaptain James Fanell, co-host Gordon Chang: Fanell discusses aggressive Chinese maritime tactics in the South China Sea, where a coordinated force of three PLA Navy warships and eleven Coast Guard and maritime militia vessels blocked two small Philippine Coast Guard vessels resupplying the grounded outpost Sierra Madre. This blockade broke a series of fifteen successful resupply missions conducted since July 2024, demonstrating Beijing's willingness to violate international agreements and its own signed code of conduct. Fanell notes that internal purges of over one hundred senior military officers in Beijing have not disrupted the execution of these coordinated bullying operations against neighboring sovereign nations. (4)US Navy Protects Hormuz TransitRebecca Grant, co-host Gordon Chang: Grant refutes Iranian propaganda claiming disruption of U.S. Fifth Fleetoperations near the Strait of Hormuz. Grant explains that Iran lacks precise real-time tracking capabilities to target agile, fast-moving American destroyers and aircraft carriers operating in deep zone defense formations. Even if foreign satellites provide imagery, targeting data quickly becomes stale and ineffective. Under U.S. Navy protection, between 10 and 20 million barrels of oil per day continue to transit safely out of the Gulf. This maintains an effective economic blockade on Iranian exports while keeping vital global shipping lanes secure. (5)Trump Meets Xi In WashingtonCharles Burton, co-host Gordon Chang: Burton evaluates the summit between U.S. and Chinese leaders in Washington, describing it as a diplomatic spectacle that delivered virtually no substantive policy agreements. Critical issues like artificial intelligence safeguards, Taiwan's sovereignty, and trade imbalances were completely omitted, handing Beijing a domestic propaganda victory. Burton also examines Canadian political dynamics under Mark Carney, where public sentiment has grown increasingly nationalistic and supportive of trade diversification toward Europe and India. This shift comes in response to economic pressure, U.S. tariffs, and covert intimidation operations conducted by Chinese state agents on Canadian soil. (6)Greenland Defense Strategy Secures NorthBradley Bowman highlights Greenland's vital geographic role in North American defense, dominating the GIUK gapand providing early warning detection against Russian and Chinese missile threats. While recent defense agreements properly expand radar facilities and military infrastructure, Bowman argues that coercive political tactics unnecessarily strained relations with Denmark, a steadfast NATO ally. Effective Arctic defense requires the three-D kill chain: detect, decide, and deliver. Because the U.S. lacks sufficient icebreakers and polar infrastructure, deep defense cooperation with Arctic allies like Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Canada remains indispensable for hemispheric security. (7)Private Enterprise Advances Space ExplorationBob Zimmerman highlights major developments in commercial space flight and astronomy. SpaceX achieved orbit on its 14th Starship test flight, deploying 26 Starlink version 3 satellites before completing soft vertical ocean splashdowns. Boeing and NASA agreed on an unmanned cargo mission to test fixes for Starliner thruster and corrosion issues. Meanwhile, Blue Origin raised $10 billion to advance New Glenn development under CEO David Limp. NASA's Perseverance rover resumed updates after surveying Jezero Crater for drilling. Finally, the James Webb Space Telescope detected heavy elements in early galaxies, challenging current cosmological models. (8)European Commodity Prices Rise Sharply — Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable discusses global commodity trends, European political shifts, and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Brent crude has risen to $97 per barrel, while European diesel prices surged to $9.52 per gallon, placing severe economic strain on consumers and agriculture. Critiquing British politics under the Labour government, Constable expresses concern over heavy taxation, public debt, and bloated social welfare spending. Turning to artificial intelligence, Constable notes that while new data centers bring needed financial investment to rural communities, their rapid expansion raises widespread anxiety over massive power consumption, with facilities now using over 4% of U.S. electricity. 9Examining Wealth Inequality And Innovation — Guest: David Henderson David Henderson contrasts market innovation with political cronyism when evaluating wealth inequality. Rebutting Thomas Piketty's proposal for uniform wealth taxation, Henderson demonstrates that entrepreneurs like Robert McCulloch or Elon Musk created fortunes by delivering superior products that immensely benefited consumers. Citing research by William Nordhaus, he notes that innovators retain only 2.2% of the value generated by their innovations, with 97.8% flowing directly to consumers. Conversely, wealth acquired through government favor and anti-competitive restrictions harms consumers. Henderson concludes that heavy taxation on wealth discourages capital investment, productivity, and real wage growth. 10

In 1938, Europe was once again facing the prospect of a major war. The immediate crisis centred on Czechoslovakia, a new state created at the end of the First World War. It was a country with a substantial industrial base, a significant arms industry and, importantly, a heavily fortified frontier with Germany. Hitler was determined to destroy Czechoslovakia. The German military had drawn up an invasion plan known as Fall Grün, or Case Green. But there was a problem. The German armed forces were not yet ready for the kind of major European war that Hitler seemed to be risking. So what exactly was Case Green? How did the Germans intend to defeat Czechoslovakia, how good were the Czech defences, and how did Hitler's ideas differ from those of his own generals? And perhaps most importantly, what might actually have happened if Britain and France had refused to compromise and Germany had gone to war? Today I'm joined by Robert Forczyk, whose book 'Case Green: The Birth of the Wehrmacht' examines the German plans for the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Case Green is also available on Audible and Spotify.

Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now! This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Our guest, Dr. Jonathan Schettino, is a licensed psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders and OCD as well as research on approaches to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

What does it actually look like when a collegiate athlete decides to take women's health into her own hands, and bring her whole team along with her? Kate Putman is a senior at NC State University running cross country and track for one of the most decorated programs in the country under Coach Laurie Henes. She's also a biological sciences student, a Lane 9 inaugural athlete ambassador, a steeplechase All-American, a summer research intern with REDs researcher Katie Ransberger in Munich, and — perhaps most importantly — pet-parent of Kaz, a mostly rottweiler who has attended team photo shoots and maybe even improved her race times. She's here to talk about all of it. Heather and Kate cover the journey from excruciating period pain freshman year to fueling adequately to the support around her, what she learned watching low energy availability research happen in real time in Germany, and how a culture shift around fueling on her team has looked less like a lecture and more like popsicles on a long run trail.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

This episode comes in two segments. The first is a reflection about the German Platypus Review #39. Lisa and our new co-host Nora sit down with Moritz Schiffmann from Leipzig, Editor in Chief of the German PR, and Johann Richter from Halle, the author of a book review included in the issue. In the second part, Lisa moderates a discussion between our members Artur and Jasper from Germany about the Party Congress of Die Linke back in June this year. Both segments address the long history of Platypus' engagements with Die Linke over the years. We discuss the party's framing of "proletarianization," the turn to class, and how Die Linke turned from a Millennial to a Zoomer project. We touch upon the meaning of Die Linke in the context of the party system in Germany and how we experienced the resurgence of a party which was once believed to be dead. Please note that this discussion took place before the electoral success of Die Linke in Berlin. ----- FURTHER READING IN GERMAN German Platypus Review #39: https://platypus1917.org/category/ausgabe-39/ PDF: https://platypus1917.org/wp-content/uploads/ausgabe_39.pdf Von Kautsky lernen heißt siegen lernen?

In this episode of Varn Vlog, you and Brandon Lightly analyze the failures of the "New Democracy" and "National Front" strategies as globalized Marxist frameworks.Key points include:Indonesia: D.N. Aidit's PKI collapsed because they mistakenly empowered a mass movement while failing to neutralize the military's hostile command structure.The Philippines: The NDFP's program prioritized state-regulated capitalism and tariff protection for domestic bourgeoisie over systemic socialist transformation.Nepal: The Maoist party utilized the "New Democracy" label to justify transitioning into a standard, market-dependent capitalist state after 2006.Right-Wing Inversion: The organizational structures of popular fronts and Leninist centralization have been repurposed by right-wing movements to advance integral nationalism and corporate-welfare states.Works Cited:Foundations of the United, Popular, and National FrontsFourth Congress of the Communist International.

Ryder Lee joins Ryan to discuss the use of Setting aside genuine schizophrenic and people who LARP as science-fiction characters, there is a very real phenomena of others hearing voices in their heads from external mechanisms. From David Berkowitz to Aaron Alexis, voices instructing violence or harassment have been well-documented. Aaron's 2013 breakdown, and his writing of "ELF" on a weapon, corresponds with the announcement that Germany has advertising technology that can insert voices into your head via vibrations on a train. Before this, A&E was beaming advertisement into pedestrians passing a billboard in Manhattan. In an older TED talk, Woody Norris explains how he sells this technology to the US Military which has a long history of producing soldiers who hallucinate more than what would be common with PTSD. Some hallucinate ghosts. On the other side of a battlefield, soldiers hear religious propaganda. There's at least one documented case of this at Guantánamo Bay, where an inmate heard religious teachings in his head. But the scope of this technology goes far beyond sound. It could be used to plant ideas in the subconscious like the movie Inception, or place ads in dreams. What was the Woodpecker signal? What happened at the US Embassy in Moscow, and Cuba? On the commercial level, and without headphones, technology exists to put your music directly into your head so no one else can hear. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

1. FC Union Berlin defender Amber Tysiak sits down to discuss her football journey and orchestrating a backline in the Frauen-Bundesliga.Amber joins the podcast to share insider insights on her high-profile January transfer window move to Berlin, taking her game to the next level, Union Berlin's high-stakes campaign to compete at the absolute peak of German women's soccer, and entering an ambitious club at an unprecedented turning point, becoming a part of the team's climb to the pinnacle of European soccer.She shares what it meant to enter the international environment as a rising star, tracing her journey back to her earliest soccer memories and her senior Red Flames debut against the Netherlands. Given her major tournament experiences representing Belgium at 2 European Championships, she shares how she learned to navigate that elite pressure and the advice she would give to her younger self.Amber also talks about her evolution as a player, reflecting on her initial time in the Belgian domestic league with OH Leuven, navigating the tactical hurdles of razor-thin second-place finishes, before unlocking her potential in the English WSL with West Ham United, and now thriving in Germany in front of Union Berlin's jaw-dropping, record-breaking crowds of over 17,000 supporters. She takes us into the locker room to discuss the delicate balance of adjusting to the unique physical demands of the Frauen-Bundesliga and how a highly anticipated club reunion with international teammate Hannah Eurlings directly impacts her squad's on-field cohesion and defensive chemistry.Amber shares why the Union Berlin long-term project was the perfect step for her career, with the club heavily investing into world-class infrastructure, the exact mindset required to serve as a focal point in the squad, and the profound pieces of wisdom that altered how she views the game, including how a defender channels the confidence of scoring an international hat-trick on the world stage. She walks us through her 50-cap milestone with the Red Flames, detailing the evolution of her leadership role on the backline and the legacy she aims to leave behind for country and club alike.Lastly, she shares what excites her about the upcoming international playoffs and World Cup qualifiers, her short and long term goals for her personal soccer vision board, and so much more!Thank you all for listening!

A battery only earns its keep when it can connect to the grid and get to work. What does it take to turn better battery technology into a viable energy project?In episode 373 of the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague speaks with Dr. Simon Engelke, founder of Battery Associates and Battery MBA and host of the Battery Insiders podcast. They explore the technology, economics, and expertise needed to scale storage across the grid, transportation, and emerging industries.Drawing on his Cambridge PhD in lithium-ion batteries and his work advising and training industry professionals, Simon explains why chemistry is only part of the story. Utilization, manufacturing scale, maintenance, investor confidence, and grid access all shape whether a battery project succeeds.Tim and Simon discuss:• Stationary storage and mobility: where Simon sees demand growing and how vehicle-to-grid programs can put parked EV batteries to work• Battery technology explained: LFP and NMC cathodes, silicon anodes, sodium-ion batteries, and what changes when the electrolyte becomes solid• Manufacturing scale: why increasing production can drive battery costs down through learning and process improvements• Vanadium flow batteries: Tim raises G&W Electric's experience, while Simon discusses pump and seal failures he has encountered and the challenge of proving a bankable business case• Project economics: why cycling, utilization, operating reliability, and a track record matter to developers and investors• Interconnection bottlenecks: Simon describes investors in Germany ready to deploy batteries that cannot yet connect, leaving assets idle while they continue to age• U.S. manufacturing: Simon's view that repurposing automotive battery factories could temporarily expand stationary storage supply, with EV demand changing that equation• New applications: how data centers, drones, humanoid robots, and electric aviation are expanding the conversation beyond solar and EVs• Battery careers: why engineers, solar professionals, business leaders, and people from other disciplines need to understand the full battery value chain• Inside Battery MBA: a 12-week online program built around live industry experts, office hours, and collaborative case studies, with group enrollment options for employersSimon also shares a Battery MBA case study exploring how a data center battery could serve both as backup power and as storage for an island grid. His message to professionals: start with the skills you enjoy using, then look for where they can contribute to the battery industry.For solar, storage, and microgrid professionals, this conversation connects battery innovation with the practical decisions behind project deployment, workforce development, and long-term business strategy.Learn more about Simon Engelke:Dr. Simon Engelke | LinkedIn Battery Associates | Training, Consulting & Insights BatteryMBA | CPD-Accredited Battery Course All Battery Insiders podcast episodes  Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Tonight, U.S. Army veteran Michael Matthews shares a story of service, survival, isolation & the connection that helped change the direction of his life. Michael served three deployments to the Middle East. During a mission in Mosul, Iraq, he was severely injured in an attack. He awoke two weeks later in a hospital in Germany with a broken jaw, severe burns & injuries that required months of physical therapy. He also returned home with a traumatic brain injury & PTSD. As Michael withdrew from others, a chance encounter with a fellow veteran led him to a Wounded Warrior Project event. That first step helped him rediscover the camaraderie he had been missing. Today, Michael shares his story and mentors other wounded warriors so they understand they are not alone. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we'll discuss what it will take to end veteran suicide and what each of us can do to support veterans throughout the year.

China's electric vehicle revolution is moving beyond passenger cars and into heavy-duty trucks, with electric and battery-swapping trucks now approaching half of new sales in some recent months. We look at what that means for diesel demand and global oil markets. We also discuss Volvo's autonomous heavy-duty trucks, which have now moved three million tonnes of material without a human driver, and James takes a decidedly non-electric test drive in a Volkswagen Jetta. Japan is turning abandoned golf courses into solar farms as developers look for land that is flat, affordable, close to the grid and less controversial than clearing forests for new solar projects.

ARABIAOil Prices Defy Market ReportsMichael Bernstam examines a major disconnect between oil reporting and market conditions, where crude oil benchmark prices remain extremely high at $103.50 per barrel despite reports that most Middle Eastern oil is back on the market. Up to 17.1 million barrels per day are moving via alternative routes, such as the Omani route and Saudipipelines, protected by the U.S. Navy. Meanwhile, global oil reserves were depleted by 57 million barrels, and China has resumed imports to refill its reserves. Furthermore, European countries like Germany are seeking energy partnerships with Kazakhstan to bypass Russian political and economic dependence. (1)

In Lafayette Park in St. Louis, Missouri, a dozen or so Eurasian Tree Sparrows from Germany were released. But unlike other introduced species such as the similar-looking House Sparrow, they did not spread very far and remained in a limited area in the Midwest. It's not fully clear why, but it's possible that they just behave differently. And the aggressive House Sparrow may have helped prevent the tree sparrows from spreading further by competing for the same nesting sites.

Alexi Lalas, David Mosse, and Stu Holden are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! The USA picked up their 2nd straight win of the international fall window, defeating Chile 4-2. Sebastian Berhalter, Julian Hall, Chris Richards, and Mathis Albert all got on the scoresheet for the USA in the big win. With his goal, Mathis Albert became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the US Men's National Team. Alexi, Mosse, and Stu break down all the action including which of the youngsters stood out the most and if any progress was made in our great goalkeeper hunt. We then look ahead to Saturday's match with Mexico and give some love to Cavan Sullivan who starred in a substitute appearance. After wrapping up the USA win, the guys recap action from the CONCACAF Nations League that saw Curaçao and Haiti build off their World Cup appearances with wins. Then we recap the UEFA Nations League that saw Jürgen Klopp's Germany fall to Greece, Michael Olise give France a winner over Belgium, Lamine Yamal star for Spain, and Harry Kane bag another goal for England. In #AskAlexi, we discuss what impact Manchester City's recent controversy could have on Cavan Sullivan joining the club and debate which of these young USA players is most likely to make an impact in the CONCACAF Nations League. We finish with One for the Road, where Alexi poses the question: which position has the smartest soccer players?

A retailer can get everything right in a new country and still be shut down over how it records a sale. The culprit is fiscalization, the rules for how every transaction gets reported to tax authorities. More than 100 countries have these rules, and no two are the same. Most were written for the cash register and have been patched country by country as retail went digital. A system that works in five markets can fail in the sixth. On this episode of Global Lens, Senior Retail Analyst Lavina Suthenthiran sits down with Marko Bogdanović, Marketing Lead at Fiscal Solutions, to explain why compliance breaks international rollouts and what retailers need in place before they cross a border. INSIDE THE EPISODE: A PROVEN POS STILL STARTS FROM ZERO IN A NEW COUNTRY Opening a sixth market isn't a copy-and-paste job. Each country requires its own devices, its own way of signing transactions, and its own tax authority to report to. The rules follow where the sale happens, so it doesn't matter where the brand is based. And because the laws rarely explain the technical details, even cities within the same country can read them differently. FINES ARE THE SMALLER RISK One bad transaction is a fixable problem. A pattern of them can close stores, shut down a country's operations, and hurt the brand everywhere else. Bogdanović's fix is simple. Put one person in charge of compliance so the knowledge lives in one place instead of being scattered across country teams. FISCALIZATION BELONGS IN ITS OWN LAYER Governments want more visibility, more real-time reporting, and tighter links between receipts and invoices. Rebuilding compliance for every checkout channel in every country gets expensive fast. Bogdanović makes the case for middleware, software that sits between the register and the tax authority, so retailers can enter new markets without rebuilding their systems each time. The laws don't explain how to implement them, so the fastest answers come from people who've already done it. That's the idea behind Community Day, a free, one-day event in Belgrade, Serbia, on October 15, for about 100 retailers, POS providers, and consultants. Sessions cover the Czech Republic's fiscal law returning in 2027, the challenges of Germany and France, e-invoicing with Avalara, and global POS rollouts with Metro Cash & Carry and Diebold Nixdorf. Listen above for Bogdanović's case that the receipt deserves as much planning as the storefront.

Somewhere in your phone or on a whiteboard in your office, there's a number and a date. The number is what you think you need. The date is when you finally get to stop. But say the word retire out loud and try to describe what it actually means for a Tuesday in your life. Most people can describe the picture from the commercial. Very few can describe the Tuesday. Jason traces where the idea actually came from, and corrects the version almost everybody repeats wrong. Germany set the first pension age at seventy, not 65. Bismarck was 74. America didn't copy him, and the number came out of an actuarial calculation about what was affordable. Nobody in that story ever asked what a good final chapter looks like for a human being. It was a benefit built for industrial workers whose bodies had been used up, and roughly ninety percent of covered German workers left on disability before they ever reached seventy. The alternative isn't working until you drop. It's building something that produces without you standing in it.

What happens after a VA disability claim lands on a rating specialist's desk? For The MisFitNation's 700th episode, Jake and Stephen welcome U.S. Army veteran and retired VA Rating Specialist Dewayne Kimble to The Toosday Crüe. Dewayne takes listeners inside the claims process: how a rater reviews service records and medical evidence, what a C&P exam needs to address, and why a veteran's lay statement can matter. He explains the mistakes he sees with oversized evidence submissions and unnecessary nexus letters, then shares what to check in a rating decision—even when the claim is approved. The conversation covers BDD claims for transitioning service members, buddy statements, MOS-related evidence, appeals, and presumptive conditions. Dewayne also tells the story of rescuing two children from a house fire in Germany, an act that earned him the Soldier's Medal and changed how he approached his Army service. Whether you are preparing your first claim, reviewing a decision, or helping another veteran, Dewayne's message is clear: “Don't Be Frustrated – Get Educated.” Explore Dewayne's educational resources at kmd89.com, learn about his speaking work at dewaynekimble.com, and connect with The MisFitNation at themisfitnation.com. Dewayne provides claims education and does not serve as an accredited claims representative. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
