It's been several weeks since there has been any significant rainfall in many parts of the world. Across Europe, a prolonged heatwave and little rain have dried-up waterways, hit crop production and have contributed to the wildfires that continue to burn in many areas. In our conversations we hear from Germany and Hungary – areas where low water levels are impacting transport and tourism - and we speak to Austin from Florida who used to run fishing tours. We are also joined by farmers in India, France and the UK, where the lack of rain has hit crop production, which will affect the quality and cost of food.

Email support@mapitforward.org or DM @mapitforward.coffee to get started.Episode DescriptionThis is Part 5 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.Across the first four episodes, the series followed the relationships between the cooperatives and Benecke, the movement of the coffee from Peru to Germany, the growing payment delays, the transition into insolvency, and the challenge of recovering money through an international creditor process.In this final episode, the focus changes.The question is no longer simply what happened?It is: What should the global coffee industry learn from this?Podcast host Lee Safar is joined by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative, and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Donneys continues translating for the series and is a contributor to the discussion.Emerson says that if Sanchirio had known Benecke was experiencing serious financial problems, the cooperative could have chosen not to ship and instead sold the coffee to buyers with stronger financial capacity.Anabel says one of the clearest lessons is that years of trading history cannot replace proper due diligence. She argues that cooperatives need to assess the financial position, debt, payment capacity and history of buyers before renewing contracts.Óscar broadens the discussion to the rest of the supply chain, arguing that risk and accountability need to be reconsidered across producers, cooperatives, buyers, certifiers and financiers.At the same time, he says he still believes in Fairtrade and sees this case as an opportunity for the system to improve rather than something that invalidates it.Ana Maria Donneys also joins the conversation as a producer, reminding us that behind every contract and container are people who may have invested months or years of work before receiving payment.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

United States President Abraham Lincoln and his assassin John Wilkes Booth were both deeply immersed in Shakespeare's works. And yet, the conclusions they reached about how best to end tyranny--a feature of both Macbeth and Julius Caesar--could not have been more different. As James Shapiro (Shakespeare in a Divided America) explained to Jacke in a conversation they had in 2023, reading Shakespeare from opposing vantage points is not unusual in American history.

They discuss Michael's career in higher education, starting with his years at Columbia Law School, including the two and a half years that he was a visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo, his establishment of the East Asian Legal Studies Center at Columbia and continuing through his service at the State Department where he negotiated treaties involving trade, international environmental law, human rights, and the terms under which Germany was unified. They then discuss Michael's tenure as Dean of George Washington Law School and the University of Utah and, later, President of the University of Utah, the University of Washington, and Texas A&M University. Michael describes his current role at a research center that is preparing the entire educational system, from primary school through university, for the futuristic megacity project in Saudi Arabia called NEOM.

Redefining Love, Long Distance, and Returning to the Nest (Season 6 | Episode 251) When Amir and I sat down with Jennifer and Chris for this episode, I knew we were in for something special. There is a quiet, profound sweetness in the way these two understand each other—a connection honed not by daily routines in the same living room, but through years of intentional presence across continents. As open nesters, so many of us are searching for ways to rewrite our stories once our kids begin to fly, and Jennifer and Chris offer a breathtaking map of what happens when you dare to choose an unconventional path. Open Nesters Podcast Ethical Non-Monogamy in Midlife Long-Distance Polyamory Relationships Navigating Relationships with Adult Children Redefining Intimacy and Relationship Design Their story began decades ago as high school sweethearts who eventually went their separate ways, traveled the world, and reconnected later in life via long-distance emails and letters. What struck me immediately was how they built a foundation of compersion—that rare, beautiful feeling of genuine joy for your partner's happiness outside of yourself—long before they even attached a label to their relationship. By the time they officially stepped into an adult relationship together, they had already learned how to cheer each other on from afar, establishing a deep sense of trust that would soon be tested and expanded in ways neither expected. When Jennifer brought up the idea of exploring ethical non-monogamy, it wasn’t a reckless leap; it was a conscious invitation to growth. For Chris, taking those first steps into polyamory while separated by an ocean was a radical, challenging shift that required deliberate inner work. They immersed themselves in books, attended meetup groups, and established dedicated two-hour check-ins to hold space for the hard, uncomfortable conversations. Through navigating long-distance dating, time zone hurdles, and emotional friction, they discovered that opening their relationship didn’t pull them apart—it built an indestructible framework for radical honesty and deep self-awareness. What I love most about their dynamic is how fluidly they allowed their relationship to evolve. After several years of practicing polyamory, both Jennifer and Chris found themselves naturally transitioning back toward a committed, monogamous bond. Their time exploring open relationships wasn’t a “failed experiment”—it was a transformative bridge that taught them how to express their desires, set healthy boundaries, and bring a renewed sense of erotic novelty and intimacy back to each other. It's a powerful reminder that we have full permission to design our relationships in seasons, choosing what serves our growth at any given stage of life. This spirit of openness inevitably ripples into our homes and how we show up for our adult children. Both Jennifer and Chris recently experienced the unexpected gift of having their adult daughters move back home—Jennifer's 26-year-old daughter for ten months, and Chris's daughter while pursuing her PhD in Germany. As parents, watching our children navigate their own adult transitions allows us to model a life of continuous self-discovery. By letting go of traditional expectations in our own lives, we create a supportive, judgment-free space where our children feel safe to grow, return, and eventually take flight again. As we move through midlife, there is so much grace in giving ourselves permission to ask for what we need, whether that's in the bedroom, in our careers, or in our living arrangements. Aging doesn’t mean settling into static routines; it's an invitation to step out of the “vanilla” defaults society hands us and try something new from the menu. When we embrace the pauses, practice active listening, and give ourselves grace, we realize that midlife isn’t about holding onto control—it’s about opening our hearts to whatever rich experiences are waiting for us next. Reframing “Addiction” If there's one takeaway from my conversation with Jennifer and Chris, it's that there is no single right way to be an open nester. Whether you are navigating long-distance longing, rethinking your relationship design, or welcoming adult kids back into your spare room, the secret lies in savoring every season for what it is. I encourage you to pause, listen closely to your partner and yourself, and step boldly into your next chapter. What is one area in your relationship or life where you could give yourself more permission to grow this week?

Royal Caribbean is testing digital scratch-off lottery tickets through its onboard app aboard Utopia of the Seas, with tickets priced from $2 to $20 and a top jackpot of $100,000; prizes under $2,000 post automatically to guest accounts, while larger wins require a Casino Royale visit and tax paperwork. The test follows Carnival Millions, launched in February 2026 with daily drawings offering up to $1 million, and an earlier BetMGM trial with Carnival that ended over satellite-internet lag and limited passenger interest. At Port Canaveral, construction has begun on a $95 million expansion of Cruise Terminal 10, a 145,000-square-foot facility roughly 30 percent larger than the existing building and able to handle ships carrying up to 6,700 passengers, with completion set for November 2027. The port recorded 8.6 million passenger movements and 1,038 ship calls in fiscal 2025. And Heritage Expeditions has completed drydock on Heritage Discoverer in Bremerhaven, Germany, ahead of the ship's first Antarctic passenger cruise, a preview voyage from Ushuaia running November 19 to December 9, 2026.
This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK World Radio Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260814.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- There is a movement in the UK to impose an annual 2 percent wealth tax on families with more than 10 million pounds in assets. Stephen Kinsella is a former EU antitrust lawyer and a founding member of Patriotic Millionaires UK. The report talks about the level of poverty in the UK and how a the tax would be a huge boost to social services and not actually cause a loss of assets for the wealthiest- who would never be able to spend all their money in the lifetimes anyway. From FRANCE- Greenland issued a warning to a US oil company to not drill on its territory after they already unloaded drilling equipment onshore. The Texas based company connected to Donald Trump had purchased the rights from a UK company called 80 Mile- they had obtained the drilling license before the Greenland government stopped issuing them in 2021. In an interview with Lukas Wahden from George Washington University, Trumps motives in Greenland are also discussed. The new right-wing Colombian president Abelardo Gabriel de la Espriella was sworn in, promising a crackdown on armed cocaine producing guerrillas with the assistance of the US and Israeli militaries. From CUBA- The new Colombian president Abelardo de la Espriella has joined the US as the only two countries recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, a Syrian territory. A retired Israeli General says Gaza should remain destroyed for generations, and that Israel should retain the Yellow Line which marks the military territory. China has called on the US not to slander relations between countries, and reiterated its support of Cuban self-defense. From JAPAN- The Japanese PM spoke with the Iranian president on the Hormuz situation and the Houthi vessel attacks in Yemen. Trump wrote an executive order placing a new 15 percent tariff on polysilicon products such as solar panels. Ukraine continues to attack oil refineries in Russia with subsequent unburned carbon pouring into the atmosphere, along with human collateral deaths.

The fires happening across the globe this summer feel as though they are being manufactured to cause chaos, but that would be crazy to believe, right? The statistics scream that this is unnatural, while the media continues to push the narrative that climate change is the cause. Canada, France, Spain, and Germany are all burning at three to four times the normal rate for the summer fire season, with questions surrounding the authentic nature of the origins. Why were arson teams deployed to create havoc on behalf of a foreign nation in Argentina in February, and is that tactic the reason these fires are happening across the world?---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

The security forces moved in to try to force the settlers away from the homes in the village of Qusra, south of Nablus. But reports from the scene say more settlers then arrived, and the security forces withdrew.Also on the programme: Germany is planning to loosen restrictions on its spy agencies to counter domestic and foreign threats; and we hear from an Italian scientist preparing a new solar instrument to measure the Sun's corona during the eclipse.(Photo: A view shows Nablus city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, February 16, 2025.

Electric cars nearly doubled their market penetration from 3.3% a year earlier as traditional petrol and diesel vehicles continued to dominate with 86.7% of transactions.USED EV VALUES RISE 1.6% IN JULY, FOURTH STRAIGHT MONTHLY GAINThree-year-old battery electric vehicles in the UK gained 1.6% in value during July, marking their fourth consecutive month of growth since March and a cumulative 7% increase of roughly £1,500 per car. Fleet EVs like the Peugeot 208 Electric, Mercedes EQB, VW ID.4, and Tesla Model Y now sell within 14 days, positioning them as the fastest-selling used cars in the market.AUSTRALIAN EV SALES DOUBLE AS PETROL HITS $2.53 A LITREElectric vehicle sales in Australia more than doubled in the second quarter of 2026 as unleaded petrol reached a record $2.53 per litre, making up one in five new cars sold. Market share for fully electric vehicles climbed from 12.25% to over 21% in the first half of 2026, driven primarily by fuel prices rather than policy.EVGO OPENS 350KW FLAGSHIP CHARGING SITE IN DETROIT WITH MEIJER AND GMEVgo opened a 350kW flagship charging station in Detroit with 12 CCS and NACS stalls beneath a canopy, capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes and accommodating vehicles towing trailers through pull-through access. The site represents EVgo's vision for charging infrastructure, with the company expecting more than 100 flagship locations online by the end of 2026 after building nearly 2,400 stalls nationwide with GM's backing.GERMAN INSURER REPORTS 12% OF PRIVATE CAR SWITCHES GO ELECTRICGerman insurer HUK Coburg reported that 12% of private vehicle changes switched to battery-electric cars in the second quarter of 2026, more than double the pre-war rate of 6.3%, with 24% of licence holders citing fuel prices since the Iran conflict as motivation. Germany registered 368,000 new BEVs in the first half of 2026 (48% more than 2025) for a 24.8% market share, while Tesla's share among switchers jumped from 5.6% to 12.2% and German brands lost ground except in the used market.SAMSUNG SDI BUYS GM'S 49.99% STAKE IN INDIANA BATTERY VENTURESamsung SDI has acquired General Motors' 49.99% stake in SynergyCells, the Indiana battery venture formed in 2024, citing slower-than-expected EV demand and pivoting the plant to produce cells and modules for energy storage systems rather than GM vehicles. The $3.5 billion venture will still open in 2026, though Samsung SDI and GM have signed a separate agreement to develop next-generation prismatic cells together for possible future EVs.TOKYO RAISES EV SUBSIDY TO 1.3 MILLION YEN PER VEHICLETokyo's metropolitan government raised its electric vehicle subsidy to 1.3 million yen per vehicle with no purchase limit, stackable with national incentives and bonuses for vehicle-to-load capability, charging equipment installation, renewable energy, and solar power usage. The scheme grades manufacturers by subsidy level—Toyota, Nissan, and Honda receive 400,000 yen while BYD receives only 100,000 yen in Tokyo—allowing buyers to potentially pay as little as 2.2 million yen for a 4.8 million yen Toyota bZ4X after stacking both subsidy tiers.FORMULA E SPLITS INTO TWO RACE FORMATS FROM 2026/27From the 2026/27 season, Formula E will run two distinct race formats: the E-Prix Unleashed as a 30-minute sprint with high downforce and no mandatory pit stop, and the conventional E-Prix as a 45-minute race with low-downforce aerodynamics and compulsory pit stops. The split reflects the capabilities of the new GEN4 car, which features permanent all-wheel drive, up to 600kW output, and 0-62 mph acceleration in roughly 1.8 seconds.V ENGINEERING BUILDS 12.4KWH REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MCLAREN P1V Engineering, a McLaren specialist based in Berkshire, has developed Project Continuum, a replacement high-voltage hybrid battery for the P1 that stores 12.4kWh compared to the original 4.72kWh while weighing 23kg less and requiring no rewiring. Customer installations will begin in spring 2027 for cars across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, addressing the 2010-era battery's deterioration after approaching 16 years in service.
Nobody toppled Charlemagne's empire with a sword. Nobody burned it down with a torch. It was taken apart with a law.Most history counts the battles. This channel reads the contracts. You've been told Charlemagne's empire just fell apart — his sons fought, the Vikings came, the center broke. That version is true as far as it goes. It's just far too small.The real weapon was Frankish partible inheritance — a legal custom built for chieftains splitting up cattle and hillforts. In 843 it got applied to an empire that ran from the Atlantic to the Elbe. The lawyers were ready for it. The parchment was drawn up. The seals were stamped.The Treaty of Verdun gets remembered as a peace agreement. What it really was, was an estate-planning contract written at the scale of a civilization — negotiated by teams of church lawyers, notaries, financial administrators, and surveyors who spent months calculating fiscal revenues and drawing ecclesiastical circuits. They thought they were doing estate planning. They were also, without having any idea of it, doing nation building. France and Germany begin at Verdun.Nobody conquered Charlemagne's empire. They inherited it. And inheriting it broke it into pieces.════════════════════════════
In this special DanceSpeak x No Starving Artists crossover episode, we sit down with Moncell Durden for a candid conversation about the International Dance League and some of the bigger questions its inception brings to the dance community. Through Moncell's perspective, we dig into what dancers can consider when new professional opportunities emerge, from sustainability and understanding contracts to asking better questions before signing on the dotted line. This isn't legal advice, but rather an invitation for dancers to think critically, stay curious, and better understand the opportunities in front of them. A thoughtful conversation about IDL that ultimately asks a bigger question: how can dancers become more informed participants in their own careers?

What St. Peter Canisius and St. Lawrence of Brindisi did for Germany, St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) did for Switzerland. Born just three years after John Calvin died, St. Francis de Sales found the Catholics of Geneva a persecuted minority, but by the time he was finished there, the region was mostly Catholic again.

In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Dr. Kevin Lassiter, an Arizona native and proud Army veteran who earned his bachelor's degree from Arizona State University and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. Dr. Lassiter spent 12 years serving as a dentist in the U.S. Army, completing his specialty training through the United States Army Prosthodontic Program, and today provides relationship-centered dentistry that blends science and artistry to create healthy, natural-looking, long-lasting smiles. The conversation traces Dr. Lassiter's path from a 19-year-old applying to dental school — admittedly naive in those early interviews — through his entry into the Army via officer basic training and an AEGD program, to years of service that included time living in Germany. He shares an honest look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of Army dentistry, what drew him to prosthodontics, and the experience of caring for veterans and soldiers during his residency. The episode closes on his transition into civilian private practice and the journey from associate to ownership, offering a grounded perspective for anyone weighing a similar route into military or specialty dentistry. Episode #1726 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with Dr. Kevin Lassiter — Arizona native, proud Army veteran, and prosthodontist who spent 12 years serving as a dentist in the U.S. Army before transitioning to private practice. From applying to dental school at 19, to Army life and training in Germany, to finding his passion in prosthodontics and making the leap from associate to owner — this is a candid, inspiring look at one dentist's unconventional path.
The 1873 Gründerkrach, the spectacular stock market crash that followed Germany's unification, is one of history's great financial maelstroms. But its most enduring legacy isn't about money. Host Robin Wigglesworth speaks to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Liaquat Ahamed about how the resulting economic malaise fuelled social division and transformed old prejudices into antisemitic conspiracy. It gave birth to ideas that would resurface with catastrophic consequences decades later in the 20th century.Further reading:1873: The Rothschilds, the First Great Depression, and the Making of the Modern World (2026), by Liaquat Ahamed Gold and Iron: Bismarck, Bleichröder, and the Building of the German Empire (1977), by Fritz SternCredits: Getty Images, AlamyLove listening to The Story of Money?

A few months ago I saw a story in The Guardian which answered a question I had wondered about for a while - when did we start using technology to identify wildlife through their calls? I'm an avid user of the Merlin Bird ID App, which records bird songs and attempts to identify them. Before this, I relied on the ears of others - usually experienced naturalists who had spent years honing their hearing before passing on their knowledge to others. But, what came before this?The Guardian story that caught my eye discussed a short film that had recently been released - Alarm Notes - which was about a guy called Ludwig Koch, who is believed to have made the very first recordings of birds back in the late 1800s. This accolade is only part of Ludwig's life story, and the further I read into it, the more astounding it got. As a jewish family living in Germany at the dawn of the second world war, Ludwig and his wife had to leave their home and escape to the UK. They also unknowingly hosted a Bulgarian communist who may or may not have burned down the Reichstag building in their home, putting them at even more risk from the incoming Nazi regime. The Bulgarian man managed to get away with the crime however, then later went onto become the first prime minister of Bulgaria, so things turned out ok for him!The technology used in the early 1900s to record birds in zoos and in the wild would make modern day sound techs run for the hills - think miles of wires held up on stilts over bodies of water, tracing between microphones and a huge recording van. The technological advances that happened over the course of Ludwig's life were truly remarkable.Ludwig continued his bird recording work in the UK, becoming one of the very first natural history celebrities. He recorded song books - vinyl that came with a book about the birds that were featured - but also recorded the soundscapes of places, including parts of London and Paris, transporting the listener from their home to places they may have never visited before. He also featured on BBC radio, becoming a familiar voice and even the subject of comedy routines.I wanted to speak to the makers of the film, Anthea Kennedy and Ian Wiblin about the story and the filmmaking process. I was also interested to hear about Andrea's personal connection with the subject of the film, as she is Ludwig's great granddaughter.To find out more about the film, or any of the other films that Anthea and Ian have made about her family's remarkable stories, head to their website.The sound recordings used in this episode were digitalised by the British Library from Ludwig Koch's archive. The music used in today's episode is from Blue Dot Sessions.Support the making of Earth to Humans by becoming a free or paid subscriber.

What Actually Happened at the June 2026 Career Conference Thirty-seven officers. Three hundred eighty-four interviews across two days. Every single officer pursued by an industry-leading company for the follow-up process. Two weeks later, most of the officers knew where they were launching their business careers. In this episode, Cameron-Brooks transition coach Brock Dudley sits down with two recent alums to talk through what the June conference was actually like and what they would tell an officer preparing for August. In this episode: – Why Jake went on five follow-up visits and received an offer from every one – How Xavier’s one location requirement nearly cut his options in half, and what changed his mind – What eleven interviews in two days actually feel like, and why they were conversations rather than tests – The number both officers say you should be comparing when you evaluate an offer, and it is not base salary – The two weeks after the conference, and the scheduling mistake to avoid Meet the panel: Xavier Mallet spent eight years in the Army as an engineer officer, leading a platoon in Hawaii and commanding a construction company in Germany. He is now a project manager at AMS Industrial in the Denver area. Jake Sidner served just about five years in the Marine Corps as an air defense control officer and left as a captain. He is now a go-to-market finance manager at Motorola Solutions in Chicago, where he grew up. If you’d like to learn more from other recent alums about their experience, you can listen to the following alumni roundtables: April 2026 Career Conference February 2026 Career Conference November 2025 Career Conference August 2025 Career Conference If you have any questions, we’re happy to help.

This community is open to all stakeholders in the coffee industryEpisode DescriptionThis is Part 3 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.In Part 1, we met the cooperatives and learned about the financial and commercial risks they carry on behalf of hundreds of smallholder coffee producers.In Part 2, we followed the coffee from Peru to the export vessel and examined how the contracts, documentation and payment process were supposed to work.Now the series reaches the point where delayed payments became something much more serious.Podcast host Lee Safar is joined again by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative; and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins as translator.This is Part 3 of our five-part series examining what happened between Benecke Coffee and coffee cooperatives in Peru.In Part 2, we followed the coffee and examined how payment was expected to work. In this episode, delayed payments become an insolvency problem.Emerson Carrasco says Sanchirio began recognising warning signs when Benecke's payments during 2025 were taking more than 40 days, compared with the roughly 15–20 days he says was typical with other buyers.He says the cooperative repeatedly sought information and received reassurances from Clemens von Storch that payment would be made and that existing contracts should continue to be shipped.Then, on 24 October 2025, Emerson says Sanchirio received a letter stating that Benecke was entering insolvency under self-administration.The episode follows the cooperatives into the creditor process: uploading contracts, invoices, bills of lading and other evidence, registering their claims, and travelling to Hamburg for a creditors' meeting in April 2026.Óscar also discusses concerns about how creditor information was communicated and why some other cooperatives may not have registered in time.The final section introduces the retention-of-title issue. Emerson says the cooperatives raised contractual provisions they believe may affect how some of the unpaid coffee is treated inside the insolvency.In Part 4, we look at what the insolvency has meant in practice for the cooperatives.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

What do you do when you follow the love of your life to a new country and aren’t legally allowed to work? You start Shopify… Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Kooler Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, eh. Stephen Semple: Eh? Dave Young: See what I did there? See what I did there, Stephen? Stephen Semple: I do. Dave Young: Stephen whispered in my ear that we’re going to talk about a Canadian company, eh. Shopify. Stephen Semple: Shopify. Dave Young: And I didn’t know they were Canadian. Stephen Semple: Yes, they are. Yeah. Dave Young: Well, do tell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Well, and here’s one of the things that I love about this story is it was started by a person who couldn’t get a job and decided to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Snowboards. Stephen Semple: How could I not love that? Dave Young: Yeah. You would love that all day long. Is that where you bought your first snowboard? Stephen Semple: No, it is not but… Dave Young: Wait, wait, you weren’t that kid, were you? Stephen Semple: No, I was not. So they’re a big deal, annual revenue of close to $12 billion. They’re one of Canada’s most valuable companies with $160 billion market cap. They’ve got 7,600 employees worldwide and kind of like five million online stores in 175 countries. And here’s the figure that got me the most when I was researching it. And it’s the number 378 billion. That’s how much merchandise was sold in a year. $370 billion worth of merchandise was sold through Shopify. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Put that into context, that’s the GDP of Singapore. Dave Young: Yeah, that’s crazy. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: That’s a lot of sales. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So Shopify was founded in 2006 in Ottawa by Tobias Lutke, Daniel Weinand and Scott Lake. But our story starts a couple of years before with Snowdevil, the snowboarding business. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So Tobias was born and raised in Germany, and his parents had this place in the Alps, and they would often drive to the Alps to go skiing. Then they decided to do a trip to Canada to do Whistler. At the time, the Canadian dollar was low. It was like the 2000s, and he decided he was going to snowboard rather than ski. And this is when he fell in love with two things, snowboarding, and he met his now wife, Fiona. Dave Young: Was she also snowboarding? Do we know? Stephen Semple: I don’t know whether she was snowboarding or not. That’s an interesting question. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So he returns to Germany, they keep in touch, and when she finishes her bachelor degree, she decides to move to Germany. So in Germany, Tobias struggled in school, ADHD, dyslexia, dropped out after grade 10, and he joins a programming apprenticeship program at Siemens. And he’s part of this kind of rebellious environment. He loves it. And he and Fiona are together for about 10 months, and she decides she needs to return to Ottawa to start her master’s program. So he moves with her to Ottawa. Now, he tried to work remotely, but remember, this is the early 2000s. Tools were not really there. You didn’t have Slack, you didn’t have Zoom. It was tough. He wasn’t really able to do it. Dave Young: A little bit of Skype going on by then maybe, but yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe, but even not great, right? He’s spending a bunch of time snowboarding and he dives into it and he’s learning all he can about it. And he even started thinking, “Well, maybe I could sell snowboards online.” And around this time, he gets offer for a job with a business in Ottawa, and the topic of work permit comes up, which oops, he doesn’t have. Dave Young: Doesn’t have a work permit. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. He’s legally allowed in the country, but he’s not allowed a work permit. So he goes to see a lawyer and he’s told, “Hey dude, you’re unlikely you got a work permit. You’re legal in the country. You could start a business, but you can’t work for someone.” Dave Young: But you can start one. Stephen Semple: But you could start one. Dave Young: That’s all right. I mean, that’s fair. Stephen Semple: So he decides snowboards online, it is. That’s what he’s going to do. Dave Young: Put a hold on that because I’m thinking, start a business. I’m wondering if that’s why there are so many foreign taxi drivers, that a taxi cab was actually a business. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: Working for somebody, you’re working for yourself. Stephen Semple: You are, you’re independent. Yeah. Dave Young: Maybe the whole taxi industry was a loophole. All right. Anyway. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: So he- Stephen Semple: So Scott Lake, who’s one of the founders, worked for the company that tried to hire Tobias, and they keep in touch. And they decide to create this company Snowdevil together because Scott had all these vendor relationships. Tobias worked on the technology. Now, here was the problem at the time. There was not software to make any of this easy, especially the credit card. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it was really hard updating and changing websites. Here’s the part that I loved. They wanted to tell stories about every snowboard that was sold. They actually wanted to take the board onto the mountain and chronicle how they spent the day and tell that story of that board and put it on the website. That’s how they were selling boards. This was also around the time the emergence of blogging. So they really felt that if you could wrap this really great story around the product and get people excited about it, they would buy from you and they wanted to break away from this Sears catalog model through the stories. Dave Young: Is this every individual board? Stephen Semple: Yes, had a story. Dave Young: Or every model. Stephen Semple: Every board had a story. Dave Young: Not every model of board. Every single board. Stephen Semple: Well, sorry. When I say board- Dave Young: Every model. Stephen Semple: Every model. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Got you. Stephen Semple: Every model had a story. Dave Young: I mean, because that’s a lot of snowboarding. Stephen Semple: Well, but it was also the early days, there weren’t that many boards out too. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Your universe was not as big as it is today. So Tobias, they’re trying to figure out how to do this, and he comes across this program called Ruby on Rails. And here’s the thing that was funny. Dave Young: I remember Ruby on Rails. Stephen Semple: The source code at the time was Latin characters and all the documentation was in Japanese, but he still figured out how to make it work. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So he started to build an e-commerce platform on that. And one of the big moments for Tobias, and this is the inspiration for Shopify, is the feeling he got when they got notice of their first sale where he’s sitting there and he gets a bing on his phone and they’ve made a sale. And that feeling that he had in that moment was just unbelievable for him. Dave Young: Cha-ching. Yeah. Somebody found us and bought something from us. Stephen Semple: Somebody found us and bought something. This is incredible. Now, they built the business on pay-per-click, but you got to also remember, AdWords at the time, 20 cents a click is what they were spending. Think about it. In the sporting goods space, 20 cents a click. Dave Young: Nobody else had figured it out yet. Stephen Semple: No one else figured it out. And at the time, snowboards had really good margins. They had a good winter. Things went really well. They’re coming into the summer, things are slowing down, and they’re thinking about, “Well, what should we do?” And here’s one of the things that happened. They started getting approached by other people in the industry saying, “Hey, can you license all this stuff that you built? Because we’re trying to figure out how to do this online stuff and it’s really hard. Can you just license that to it and can we just use it?” Dave Young: Seems like they figured that out. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So in 2006, right, so in 2006, Snowdevil disappears. Shopify is born. Dave Young: All right. We can’t… Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Shopify is shopping simplified, Shopify. Dave Young: That’s brilliant. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: The cool thing about software companies like that is you end up with one product and then you can sell that product a million times and it doesn’t cost you anything to make it, really. I mean, it’s software. There’s no manufacturing. Stephen Semple: There’s even something else on this. I’m in a program I think I’ve mentioned before called the Strategic Coach, quarterly coaching program, created by a guy by the name of Dan Sullivan. And one of the things Dan talks about is this idea of strategic byproducts, that when you create a really big goal, what will happen is in the process of achieving that goal, new things come out of it. And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Their goal was to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: The byproduct was this, and the byproduct was way more powerful, way more valuable. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. A lot of people want to sell a lot of things. Stephen Semple: But the problem is sometimes we lose sight of that. We can lose sight of it because we go, “Yeah, but I just wanted to sell snowboards. No, I’m going to ignore this thing.” Rather than, “Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There’s this opportunity here.” So I commend them for recognizing that. So they start wanting to develop it as more of a product. Tobias calls Daniel Weinand, who’s the third founder, who’s a buddy from Germany, and he convinces them to come to Canada to help him build the product because he needs more coding. They raise some money, they’re off to the races. But here was even their challenge when it came to running money. Back then, everyone believed the future belonged to giant online malls, Amazon, eBay. Everybody just wants to go to one giant marketplace. Shopify believed something radically different. Instead of building one giant store, what they wanted was help millions of people have their own store. Because when you’re on Shopify, it’s your store. Shopify is just the back end. Dave Young: And they’re not going to do all the things that you hear Amazon does when you try to sell on Amazon, right? They’re going to go figure out how to make your product cheaper and sell it under their name. Stephen Semple: And Tobias talks about in interviews that feeling he had when they got that first online transaction. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s what he wanted people to have. He wanted people to have that opportunity. The idea behind this business was not to develop software. They don’t see themselves as a software company, but they see themselves as a company that helps people start businesses. Shopify wasn’t selling software, they were selling independence. You can own your business, you own your customer list, you own your brand, you own your future. That emotional positioning matters. And it helped attract entrepreneurs who didn’t want to sell inside the Amazon ecosystem because what they were buying was freedom. And this drove a lot of the decision-making because in 2009, the next big evolution that came along was Shopify launched an app store. And basically what it did is it opened its platform to outside developers. Suddenly anyone could build an application that extended Shopify’s capabilities, email marketing, inventory managing, shipping, loyalty programs, accounting, subscriptions, thousands of other tools. And that fundamentally changed the company because if they though of themselves as a software development company, they would’ve tried to develop those things. Instead, they saw themselves as a company that is supposed to simplify this process for people. So therefore, why don’t we take your tool and plug it into ours? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? But that thinking is what changed everything. Now, I also want to think about this because we often talk about north stars and things along that lines. When they think about it even from a marketing perspective, when what I’m selling is I’m going to make it easier for you to become an entrepreneur, that’s a very different emotional sales pitch and positioning than I’ve got this tool. And it helped them do things like, well, why wouldn’t we do this app store? Does this app store make it easier for a person to be an entrepreneur? We’re doing it. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: There’s 16,000 apps now in the Shopify app store, and Shopify paid developers over a billion dollars through its ecosystem. Dave Young: That’s pretty amazing. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So think about this. It’s a software company started by a software engineer that decided not to build software. Dave Young: All right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? And it all goes back to that moment that Tobias felt when he had that first transaction. And he also talks about nothing else changes a person’s life by being able to build their own business. And he was like, if we can facilitate that, their goal is to facilitate people building their business. And if you think about even things like opening it up to the outside, Apple has done it with the App Store. Salesforce has done it with AppExchange, Amazon with Marketplace, Microsoft. Other companies have all done it. But I think these guys just had a real strong north star because they stopped asking the question what we can build and started asking the question of what can others build on top of what we’ve built? Dave Young: Yeah. It’s a beautiful ecosystem. Stephen Semple: Because that driving goal- Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, because the driving goal was make it easy to start a business. Now, here’s how powerful that idea is. Heard this in an interview with Tobias. So Tobias was being interviewed and this is literally what he said. I recorded it and wrote down the quote. And since we’re talking about stats, this is the most gratifying of all the numbers related to Shopify, and it’s actually the north star of the company. That’s the words he uses. Every 52 seconds, someone has had that experience of getting their first sale, the one I described. And in so many cases, someone is going from being a builder to now being an entrepreneur. There’s so few things you can do that actually changes your identity in a meaningful degree. This company’s heart is really the founder onboarding process and trying to make this simpler. What’s been so fascinating is that the initial idea behind Shopify was that idea. Dave Young: Yeah. Every 52 seconds somebody gets their first buyer. Stephen Semple: First sale. Dave Young: First sale. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Their first transaction. Isn’t that incredible? And that’s- Dave Young: It’s a new store every- Stephen Semple: Right. And his summary from his interview of what’s the thing that he was most proud of was that, that’s that. Not the billions of dollars, not this, that every 52 seconds, somebody’s getting their first transaction. Dave Young: I love that. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that incredible? Dave Young: Yes. Yes. There’s nothing not incredible about it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It’s a good thing they didn’t give him a work visa, is what I’m saying. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it all worked out well. But the part is that I found so interesting about this, because we do this when we work with customers. Well, with customers, we help them to find their north star. What’s your north star? Dave Young: Yeah, oh yeah. Stephen Semple: What is that thing for your business? And that the finding of the north star is what actually made all of this work. And they found their north star starting their own business when they had that first transaction. It remained true to that and has driven those decisions and has allowed them to make better strategic decisions such as the App Store. But on top of that, I’m going to say it helped all their marketing messaging because somebody who aspires to be an entrepreneur will connect with Shopify and its goals and dreams and aspirations. Dave Young: Yeah. I love that story. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Wizard Academy has a Shopify store. Stephen Semple: Does it? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Cool. Dave Young: Yeah, shop.wizardacademy.org. You can buy a mug or a postcard. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: Things like that, so. Stephen Semple: Awesome. The only reason I didn’t know that is anytime- Dave Young: I didn’t get the notifications for it. Stephen Semple: Well, and the only reason why I don’t know about that is anytime I buy stuff, I always like getting it when I’m in person. Dave Young: Exactly. Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah. Dave Young: Way more fun. We don’t do banging business, but it’s there. Stephen Semple: It’s there and it helped you do it. Dave Young: You want the mug that I drink out of sometimes. Stephen Semple: Well, that’s it. That’s the way you should be selling them. You should be selling your dirty mugs. Dave Young: I test every mug. Very cool, Stephen.

This community is open to all stakeholders in the coffee industryEpisode DescriptionThis is Part 3 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.In Part 1, we met the cooperatives and learned about the financial and commercial risks they carry on behalf of hundreds of smallholder coffee producers.In Part 2, we followed the coffee from Peru to the export vessel and examined how the contracts, documentation and payment process were supposed to work.Now the series reaches the point where delayed payments became something much more serious.Podcast host Lee Safar is joined again by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative; and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins as translator.This is Part 3 of our five-part series examining what happened between Benecke Coffee and coffee cooperatives in Peru.In Part 2, we followed the coffee and examined how payment was expected to work. In this episode, delayed payments become an insolvency problem.Emerson Carrasco says Sanchirio began recognising warning signs when Benecke's payments during 2025 were taking more than 40 days, compared with the roughly 15–20 days he says was typical with other buyers.He says the cooperative repeatedly sought information and received reassurances from Clemens von Storch that payment would be made and that existing contracts should continue to be shipped.Then, on 24 October 2025, Emerson says Sanchirio received a letter stating that Benecke was entering insolvency under self-administration.The episode follows the cooperatives into the creditor process: uploading contracts, invoices, bills of lading and other evidence, registering their claims, and travelling to Hamburg for a creditors' meeting in April 2026.Óscar also discusses concerns about how creditor information was communicated and why some other cooperatives may not have registered in time.The final section introduces the retention-of-title issue. Emerson says the cooperatives raised contractual provisions they believe may affect how some of the unpaid coffee is treated inside the insolvency.In Part 4, we look at what the insolvency has meant in practice for the cooperatives.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Katharina Grosse talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Grosse, who was born in Freiberg im Breisgau, Germany, in 1961, sees painting as an expansive field, which might be explored on canvas, but also directly on gallery walls, on vast textile hangings, on sculptures and natural forms like earth and trees brought into the gallery, as well as in public space and even directly onto the landscape. Using an industrial spray gun, she sees colour as a material, and creates dense swaths of rich hues that form dazzling relationships and absorb and often surround the viewer. Whatever form her work takes, it clearly evokes Katharina's choreography of gestures as well as representing a response to and creation of architectural space. Seeing painting as a medium that reflects and simultaneously articulates the world, Katharina invites an active response from her viewers, as much bodily as it is visual. She discusses how making her work immediately meets with “feedback” from the surfaces and environments in which she is acting, how she is “at home in flow” when working across multiple pieces, and how she employs colours as a cluster, always in relation to one another. She reflects on the early impact of choreographer Pina Bausch, her residency at Edvard Munch's former studio at Ekely in Norway, the physicality in the paint of Lovis Corinth, the “razor-sharp sentences” of the writer Annie Ernaux and her fascination with Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and the inspiring vision and “ecology” of the film-maker Agnes Varda. Plus, she gives insight into life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Katharina Grosse: Black Bed, MUNCH, Oslo, 26 September-31 December.

During their visit to Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia, German adventurers Stefan Ramin and Heike Dorsch were attacked by a local, Arihano Haiti. Arihano shot and killed Stefan, then sexually assaulted Heike, prompting a 50-day manhunt that ended with his surrender. Heike returned home to Germany, devastated and penniless. Media coverage, filled with sensational claims of cannibalism, and a complicated trial made this one of the island's most high-profile cases in its history.ZBIOTICS - https://zbiotics.com/lightsoutMint Mobile - https://www.mintmobile.com/LIGHTSOUTQuince - https://www.quince.com/LIGHTSOUTHungryroot - https://www.hungryroot.com/LIGHTSOUTFollow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: lop@milehigher.comMerch: http://milehighermerch.com/Request A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHost: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/VcGi4C5V
Serhii Plokhy, Part Two: The second part focuses on the 2022 full-scale invasion, defined by Putin's catastrophic miscalculation that his troops would be welcomed as liberators. Instead, Ukraine demonstrated remarkable resilience under President Zelenskyy and military leaders like General Oleksandr Syrskyi. Plokhy highlights the "outright criminality" of Russian tactics, specifically the reckless use of nuclear sites like Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia as military shields and tools of international blackmail. He notes that the defense of sites like the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupolbecame global symbols of Ukrainian resistance. The war has triggered profound global shifts, including Germany's "Zeitenwende" and Japan's move toward providing military support. Former "interlocutors" like Emmanuel Macronhave shifted from seeking accommodation to joining the US-led coalition, while diplomatic mediation has fallen to leaders like President Erdoğan of Turkey. Furthermore, Ukraine's effective defense has likely contributed to stability in East Asia by discouraging a Chinese military adventure in Taiwan. While Putin views the war through an imperial lens, NATO has rediscovered its purpose in defending the international order. Plokhy concludes that while Putin is destroying Russia's future, the war may eventually force the nation to rethink itself as a modern state rather than an empire. (2)

Day 1,627.Today, after a weekend that may have seen a record number of drones launched across Ukraine and Russia, we examine what it is actually like to endure a ballistic missile attack – and how different that experience is from a drone barrage. Then, as Kyiv and other cities come under constant bombardment from weapons Ukrainian air defences cannot reliably intercept, we assess the arguments made by some that Ukraine's increasingly ambitious strikes inside Russia could give Vladimir Putin the pretext he needs to mobilise hundreds of thousands more men. We also answer your questions about what Kyiv can realistically do to solve its missile crisis, revealing why President Donald Trump appears to have reversed course over giving Ukraine the blueprints needed to manufacture Patriot missiles.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.With thanks to RAND engineer Michael Bohnert. @mbohnert on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Henry David Thoreau was not a traditional Christian, and yet he was a deeply, profoundly religious man. In this episode, Jacke talks to Lydia Willsky-Ciollo about her book Wildness: Henry David Thoreau and the Making of an American Theology, which describes how Thoreau's experiences in nature helped him imagine and develop a distinctly American theology of the wild. PLUS Douglas Clark (The Will in English Renaissance Drama) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read. On Sale Now! For more information and to order Great Detective!
