Podcasts about Glut

Where is the Glut? The Iran Conflict Exposes the Glut Narrative with High Oil Prices LoomingOur prayers go out to our brave soldiers who have fallen today, and we pray for their families and the wounded for a full recovery. 1. Iran Conflict and Oil Markets The transcript extensively covers how escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran are disrupting the oil market narrative. There's discussion of potential oil price spikes (potentially reaching $100-$120 per barrel for Brent crude) and the impact on regional oil shipments from countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran.2. US Strategic Objectives The discussion explores the geopolitical strategy behind US military actions, suggesting the goal is to gain proxy control over Iran's oil and gas reserves. This is framed as leverage—not just against China, but also impacting the Bank of London and the EU.3. US Oil Production and Investment Dynamics The transcript analyzes the resilience and growth of US oil production despite price volatility and geopolitical tensions. It compares investment returns between traditional oil and gas companies versus renewable energy companies, noting that renewable growth has been heavily subsidized by federal programs.4. California's Refining Capacity There's discussion of regulatory pressure from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) attempting to force closure of the state's remaining seven refineries, which could result in increased imports from China and India.5. Legal Developments in Energy Sector A significant topic is a North Dakota court ruling indicating Greenpeace may owe $345 million in damages related to Dakota Access pipeline protests, suggesting a potential shift in how the energy industry addresses activist litigation.1.The Iran Conflict Exposes the Missing Oil Glut Narrative2.How the Iran Conflict Will Impact Global Oil Shipments by Country3.The US Military Campaign Against Iran Is Part Of Trump's Grand Strategy Against China4.Resilient U.S. Oil Production Is a Boon to Trump.

After a yearslong glut, the market for California winegrapes could reach equilibrium soon, and new research finds that adding red raspberries to a meal improved blood sugar responses and enhanced cognitive performance within hours.

You can be thin, active, and still carry dangerous visceral fat around your organs. Unlike subcutaneous fat you can pinch, visceral fat is hidden deep in the abdomen and strongly linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and early mortality. More cardio is not always the answer. Visceral fat is hormonally driven and protected by insulin and cortisol. Chronic stress and long-duration cardio can actually increase cortisol, making it harder to lose stubborn belly fat. In this episode, Ben shares a simple strategy: 25 squats twice per day. Squats activate the largest muscle groups in the body, improve insulin sensitivity, and stimulate GLUT-4 transporters to pull glucose out of the bloodstream and into muscles. Lower insulin levels mean less protection for visceral fat. You'll learn: The difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat Why cortisol promotes abdominal fat storage How muscle contraction sends a fat-burning signal Why resistance training is crucial after age 45 What to expect in the first days and weeks Simple squat modifications for all fitness levels Why stacking nutrition, sleep, and recovery matters The squat is the ignition.The lifestyle stack determines the acceleration. Ben also shares details about his 14-Day Metabolic Reset and a free 7-day drug-free belly fat protocol to help you lower insulin, preserve muscle, and reclaim metabolic control. Remember: You are not trying harder. You are sending the right signal.

Jan Stuart, one of the sharpest oil minds on Wall Street and global energy strategist at Piper Sandler, cuts through the headlines for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of global oil markets heading into 2026. Is there really an oil glut? What is China doing with all that crude? And is the US shale boom finally running out of steam? Jan answers all… and more.

As part of our 5-part series looking into the outlook for refined products in 2026, this episode takes a deep dive into the global gasoline market. The global gasoline market saw unseasonable strength in the final quarter of 2025, and this episode breaks down what's behind it. We also discuss how EV adoption, policy shifts, and blending mandates are reshaping demand across key regions, assess the impact of new mega‑refineries on traditional trade flows, and highlight the critical drivers to watch as we move into 2026. Gasoline cracks surprised to the upside in late 2025, peaking in November across Europe and Asia as widespread refinery maintenance in Asia and the Middle East tightened supply. But moving further into 2026, gasoline cracks are expected to come under pressure from more consistent gasoline supply and lengthening balances, particularly in the Atlantic Basin. Listen to our market experts, Emma Pike - Gasoline Analyst, George Maher-Bonnett – Deputy Editor and Asill Bardh – Senior Reporter, as they discuss the latest developments shaping the global gasoline market, reflect on how it evolved through 2025, and outline the critical drivers to watch as we move into 2026.

You can't buy this kind of entertainment. When President Trump throws out a mean Truth Social post, he can move the markets, but when an Aircraft Carrier Strike group shows up near Iran and Iraq, the oil traders panic. It is quite possible that the Glut Narative may just roll off into the sunset, as Stu Turley has said on the podcast "Where's the Glut?" much like the "Where's the Beef" Wendy's commercial. We are seeing a commodities Supercycle surge, and did oil just make it to the Commodities Homecoming Dance? We cover critical investing and issues that will impact consumers in the oil and gas markets. The main topics discussed in this Energy News Beat Stand-UP are:1. Geopolitical tensions and their impact on oil prices:  - President Trump's threats of military action against Iran and the resulting spike in Brent crude oil prices  - Concerns about potential supply disruptions from Iran and Iraq, which could further impact oil markets2. Declining oil and gas exploration and investment:  - The plunge in global conventional oil and gas discovery volumes in recent years  - The decline in overall oil and gas capital expenditures, focused on short-cycle, low-cost projects  - The high percentage of production coming from post-peak oil and gas fields raising concerns about future supply3. The changing dynamics in the oil and gas industry:  - The dichotomy between "drill, baby, drill" and "grow, baby, grow" approaches to production  - The role of refinery demand in determining the pricing and trading of different crude oil grades  - Saudi Aramco's efforts to change how OPEC monitors and prices oil, moving towards a more refinery-driven model4. Potential mergers and acquisitions in the sector:  - The ongoing discussions around a potential merger between Coterra Energy and Devon Energy  - The involvement of activist investor Kimmeridge in pushing for this merger, including the potential nomination of Scott Sheffield to Coterra's board5. Performance and outlook for oil and gas companies:  - The strong stock price performance of major oil companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron  - The potential opportunities in the mining and gold/silver sectors as a hedge against oil and gas market volatilityStories Covered in today's Energy News Beat Stand-Up1.Brent Breaks $70 After Trump Threatens Iran With Military Force2.Oil Options on Longest Bullish Run Since 2024 as Iran Risk Looms3.Oil Exploration Drastically Lagging Demand – We are approaching a critical junction of lack of investment4.Trinidad & Tobago: The $4 Billion Nat Gas Play5.Gas Turbines Suffer Economic Hardships Due to Stress Placed on Them by Wind and Solar6.Saudi Aramco Raises $4 Billion as Oil Prices Remain Under the Oil Glut ThreatA shout-out to Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the Podcast: https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out: theenergynewsbeat.substack.com,Get your CEO on the podcast: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

This was a fun podcast with our favorite Green Chicken, Doomberg, and we hit it out of the park. Buckle up and enjoy the show. Doomberg has been elevated to “National Treasure Status” by Stu Turley and The Energy News Beat Podcast team. Our great guests help us reach #3 in FeedSpot's Top 70 Energy Podcasts in the world.Doomberg does not hold anything back, and we have some real topics rolling out. I got really tickled by Doomberg and David Blackmon making a bet on whether President Trump would invade Greenland. I would enjoy paying for a steak dinner with Doomberg and David, so it does not matter to me.Here are the key points we cover.1. The current state of the global oil and gas markets, including the “glut” or oversupply of oil and gas, and the factors contributing to this situation, such as the rise of shale production in the US.2. The potential impact of the political situation in Venezuela on the oil and gas industry, including the challenges of restoring production and the legal/financial claims against Venezuela's oil assets.3. Speculation around potential geopolitical actions by the Trump administration, such as annexing Greenland or intervening in other countries in the Western Hemisphere to secure energy resources.4. Analysis of the political dynamics and power structures in Washington, with the discussion of the “uniparty” and the lack of meaningful ideological differences between Republicans and Democrats.5. Commentary on the energy policies and actions of political figures like Gavin Newsom and the potential impact on energy supply and prices. California poses a national security risk to the U.S., but don't rule out Gavin, as he could be in the running if we don't fix our elections and adopt same-day paper ballots.Interesting Doomberg Moments1. “The physical global energy markets are extraordinarily well supplied. As we're talking today... Newcastle coal, 107 bucks a million BTU, that's doing nothing. Landed LNG in Europe is 963. Henry Hub natural gas is about three-quarters of a Big Mac, and an ounce of silver will buy you a barrel of oil and some change.” - DoombergThis quote highlights the current oversupply and low prices across various energy commodities.2. “China has been buying a million extra barrels a day all year for most of 2025 and stuffing it into their strategic reserves.” - DoombergThis quote suggests China is aggressively building up its strategic oil reserves, which could impact future oil market dynamics.3. “If natural gas were to spike on AI demand, say, you could see drillers drilling for gas and dumping the crude oil onto the market, the way they're drilling for crude oil and dumping the gas onto the markets now, if that ever pivots.” - DoombergThis quote discusses the potential for producers to shift their focus between oil and gas production in response to market conditions.4. “There is no such thing as a Republican in D.C. There's the uniparty. There's Mega on the right, and Bernie on the left. And the middle is the same party. Look, there is no distinction between Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, I hate to break it to you. It's all phony.” - DoombergThis quote expresses a cynical view of the U.S. political system, suggesting there is no meaningful ideological difference between the two major parties.5. “Trump is a disruptor to that. Look, there's a Republican party at the state level and at local levels, but not in D.C. No. Ted Cruz isn't a Republican.” - DoombergThis quote further elaborates on Doomberg's view of Trump as a disruptive force against the established political order in Washington.I am hopeful that we get our elections fixed, but unfortunately, I believe Doomberg is right yet again. The Uni Party is alive and well, and it really saddens me.A shout-out to David Blackmon and his industry leadership and writing. It is an honor to have him share time with Doomberg.We have some more great CEO, and I am getting ready to interview some folks on the Texas ERCOT grid, and we have more articles we are working on. We will be interviewing Doug Sandridge, who will be returning from Saudi Arabia next week, and he will have some insights into the global oil and gas markets.Thanks again to our patrons, subscribers, and readers on all of our platforms.Please reach out and subscribe to Doomberg atDoombergA lateral-thinking approach to energy, finance, and geopolitics | Subscribe below for free previews of new articles | Click through to our About page for pricing and FAQ.Subscribe to the Energy News Beat Substack Here:The full transcript will be at https://energynewsbeat.co/Discussion about this episodeTime Stamps: 01:57 Doomberg: Where is the oil glut06:05 China is buying oil, and are they preparing for war?12:50 Venezuela and the oil impact26:11 Canada and great subscribers41:58 Doomberg's methodology

REVENGE, REVOLUTION, AND THE BIRTH OF A PATRIOT Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. In 1774, a grief-stricken Logan launched a brutal revenge campaign, killing nearly 20 people to "glut his vengeance." This violence occurred as the Continental Congress began forming an army, calling for rifle companies from the frontier. Ironically, Michael Cresap, the man Logan blamed for the murders, was appointed to lead a Maryland rifle company. As Lord Dunmore launched a war against the Shawnee to secure land for Virginia, Logan delivered his famous lament to his brother-in-law John Gibson, signaling that his personal war was over and he was satisfied with the blood he had spilled.

In this wide-ranging and candid conversation, Lance Roberts is joined by longtime friend and veteran television reporter Tom Zizka to discuss how media, markets, and economic reality have fundamentally changed over the past two decades. The discussion begins with the evolution of modern media—from the rise of social platforms and the "small screen" revolution to the growing pressures of monetization, speed, and narrative framing. Lance and Tom explore how storytelling has shifted from context-driven reporting to image-driven headlines, and what that means for public perception, trust, and accountability. From there, the conversation moves into markets and policy. Topics include the economic implications of Trump's re-election, why falling oil prices were driven more by markets than politics, and the disconnect between calls for expanded drilling and the reality of global oil gluts. The episode also examines farm subsidies, the critical role of farming and trucking in the U.S. economy, and why inflation—while unpopular—is often necessary for economic growth. The discussion extends to immigration, contrasting legal versus undocumented impacts on the economy, the power of imagery and narrative in shaping public opinion, and the widening wealth gap that continues to distort economic expectations. Lance and Tom also touch on cultural shifts, including the growing debate over college versus skilled trades, the rise of short-form video, and the increasingly complex checklist required for modern publication and media compliance. Blending humor, real-world reporting experience, and market insight, this episode offers a grounded look at how media narratives influence economic understanding—and why reality often looks very different once the headlines fade. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19 - The Tables are Turned 2:22 - Changes in the Media - the necessary evolution 4:30 - Media Monetization and The News 8:29 - The Advent of the Small Screen - Facebook 2010 11:12 - Dead People in Houston Bayous - the Bayou Butcher? 13:40 - Lance is a Cereal Killer 14:46- The Trump Re-election - What Did it Mean? 15:17 - Bringing Down Oil Prices - Markets Did That; Ending Restrictions on Drilling vs the Glut of Oil 19:50 - Texas Beef Production & Cow Tipping 21:46 - Immigration Methodology - Pictures & Narrative on Social Media, 24:13 - Immigration Impact on Economy - Legal vs Undocumented 29:45 - The Big Beautiful Bill or Big and Ugly 31:11 - Farm Aid Package - Farm Subsidies 35:07 - The Criticality of Farming & Trucking to the Economy 36:33 - Economic Reality & The Wealth Gap 41:30 - People Expect Prices to Go Down 42:35 - Why We Want Inflation - Economic Growth 45:27 - The Cycling Story - Criterion Racing - Lucas Bourgoyne 48:22 - Social Media Videos & In-Laws 50:09 - College vs Trades 52:58 - The Ever-growing Checklist for Publication Watch the Video of this interview on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/tsurGgQO88w #MediaAndMarkets #EconomicReality #FinancialMedia #OilPrices #WealthGap

Michael and I would like to take a moment and thank all of our great Subscribers and patrons this year. It has been a wildly successful growth year in listens, watches, and articles read, and we are truly blessed to see it. We are striving to improve and keep growing with some different things rolling out next year.While the cancellation is under review with the Department of War for national security risks, I think that if science is applied, it will be an easy ruling. So after reading about these cancellations, I wanted to see who would be impacted by the company and how consumers would be impacted. This will be an ongoing story as it unfolds, but the high utility costs will be passed on to consumers. And make no mistake, the Democrats will use this to their advantage, and Republicans won't do anything.President Trump and Secretaries Doug Burgum and Chris Wright are running down the road trying to do the right thing for the American People. The costs associated with the project are going to be huge, and when the Democrats start ripping President Trump over this, remember the Billions of dollars and the crippling of the economy that Obama, Biden, and the governors of Democratic states cost the US citizens by their overreach and Net Zero enforcement of horrific policies. The main topics discussed1. The Trump administration's cancellation of several major offshore wind projects in the U.S. due to national security concerns. The projects mentioned include Vineyard Wind One, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind, Coastal Virginia Wind Offshore, and Empire Wind.2. The potential impact of these project cancellations on companies involved, such as Dominion Energy, GE Vernova, Orsted, and Equinor. The transcript discusses the financial performance and stock price movements of these companies.3. The debate around the definition of "green energy" and the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the power grid, including issues around transmission, costs, and reliability.4. The delay or cancellation of the retirement of some fossil fuel power plants in the U.S. in response to increasing electricity demand, particularly from the growth of AI and data centers.5. The global oil market dynamics, including the "oil glut" with a large number of oil tankers at sea, the impact of sanctions on major producers like Russia and Venezuela, and discussions around OPEC's role in oil price determination.6. The overall commentary on the state of the energy industry, policy debates, and Stu's perspectives on the various topics covered.1.All Large Scale Offshore Wind Projects Under Construction Suspended Due to National Security Concerns2.Virginia-based Utility Dominion Energy May Be Hit as Investors Eye This Week's Offshore Wind Cancellations3.GE Vernova Inc: Supplier to Vineyard Wind, Looking at Its Books After This Week's Trump Administration Cancellation of Projects4.U.S. Fossil-Fuel Power Plants Delay Retirement as AI Power Demand Soars5.Oil Glut and Surging Barrels at Sea Have Spooked Oil Traders and the Market, but Is This Market Dysfunction Rather Than a Glut?6.U.S. Department of Energy to Return $13 Billion to the Treasury and a clear definition of green energy is needed.Feel Free to use this as an excuse to not hang out with your in-laws if you need to over the holidays.

PREVIEW Guest: Michael Bernstam Summary: Michael Bernstam analyzes declining oil prices, noting a global glut that has pushed prices under $60 per barrel. He explains that because Russia loses roughly $2.7 billion for every $10 price drop and sells at a deep discount, current revenues are insufficient to sustain its budget or war effort. 1914

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break down why there's no real oil glut despite market noise, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth's bullish long-term stance, and how AI-driven efficiency is reshaping Big Oil. They dive into Sweden's pension fund disaster after chasing risky net-zero bets, why micro-nuclear reactors may be the sleeper investment of the decade, and Enbridge's major pipeline expansion boosting Canadian crude flows. The episode also covers China and India's role in setting the floor and ceiling for global oil prices, the hidden machinery behind Russia's “dark fleet,” and why sanctions aren't stopping crude from moving—just rerouting it. A fast, sharp look at the forces shaping 2025's energy markets.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

REVIEW Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution analyzes the impact of sanctions on Russia, whose economy is hurt by cheap oil prices. The International Energy Agency forecasts a significant oil glut of 2 to 4 million barrels per day surplus in 2025 and 2026. This, along with US deregulation, means cheaper oil, potentially causing Russia to stumble into a deep recession. Guest: MichaelBernstam.

No surprise to me that there's a glut of apartments on the market  I saw the potential for this oversupply happening in San Diego a couple of years ago. It seemed anywhere you drove within a short distance you would see the construction of new apartment buildings. It is not just here in San Diego though as the glut of apartments is happening around the country. With the dynamics of supply and demand, if you're looking for an apartment today, you're in for a treat. In September rental rates had the steepest drop in more than 15 years. Landlords are now offering months of free rent, gift cards, free parking and some are even paying for your moving expenses just to get you to sign a lease. You may want to play hardball because in some areas they'll even cut the rent on top of all those incentives. In September, 37% of rentals agreed to concessions like months of free rent. What caused the problem for landlords is during the early years of the pandemic, developers could not begin building apartments fast enough, especially in the Sunbelt area where there was a major population migration. It became the biggest apartment construction boom in 40 years, but because of the delay of construction permits and labor shortages, development took much longer than they had hoped. It seemed no one looked around to see all the apartments going up, and now they're all competing with each other for renters. The landlords are hoping they can raise rents by the end of 2026 or at least sometime in 2027, but I don't think they are factoring in how many apartments are online with more still to come. Based on the current apartment inventory and new apartments coming online, renters could be in for lower rent maybe perhaps until 2028. This will not be good for the housing market because rent for houses will be the next to fall and then people will have to factor in the affordability of renting vs buying a home. This would also likely hurt the demand for buying rental properties as an investment if you can't get as much rent as you thought.    Are the large hyperscale companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet inflating earnings?  Michael Burry, who was made famous by "The Big Short", made the claim that some of America's largest tech companies are using aggressive accounting to pad their profits. He believes they are understating depreciation expenses by estimating that chips will have a longer life cycle than is realistic. Investors are likely aware of the huge investment these companies are making in AI, but they likely don't understand how the accounting of the investments work. If a business makes an investment in these semiconductors/servers of let's say $100 B, that doesn't hit earnings when the money is spent as under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, they are instead able to spread out the cost of that asset as a yearly expense that is based on the company's estimate of how rapidly that asset depreciates in value. From what I've seen, these companies are generally depreciating their Nvidia chips for over 5 to 6 years. This seems to be a stretch considering Nvidia is on a 1-year chip production cycle, and the technology is changing quite rapidly. Burry estimated that from 2026 through 2028, the accounting maneuver would understate depreciation by about $176 billion and if Burry is correct, hyperscale's will have to write off AI capex as a bad investment, due to depreciation-useful life mismatch. This would then produce a major hit on earnings. While I remain a believer that AI is here to stay, I do believe there will be some big-time losers in this space given all the money that is being spent. Be careful chasing the hype as I do worry the fallout for some of these companies could be larger than many things possible. Burry has also warned this year that AI enthusiasm resembles the late-1990s tech bubble and recently disclosed put options betting against Nvidia and Palantir. He also stated that "more detail" was coming November 25th, and that readers should "stay tuned." I know I'm definitely curious what other information he has!    China is no longer just manufacturing; they are also beginning to innovate.  For many years innovation was generally done here in the US, and we would have the products manufactured in China. China is no longer happy with this arrangement, and its research and development spending is up nearly 9% a year well above the 1.7% here in United States. In 2024, China filed 70,160 international patents which was about 16,000 more than the 54,087 patents the US filed. China also seems to be more advanced in robotics installing 300,000 industrial robots in 2024 compared with roughly 30,000 industrial robots in the US. It also has been noted that when it comes to worldwide sales of electric vehicles, 66% came from China. While these developments seem positive for China, the country is still experiencing problems with a slowing economy as they have seen fixed asset investment decline and a slowdown in retail sales. The population of China has also declined over the last three years, and the real estate market after four years has really taken away a lot of household wealth. China's public and private debt continue to climb rapidly, which is becoming a problem for them as well. It is estimated that China is spending around $85-$95 billion on AI capital spending yet their economy is struggling as noted by the China Merchants Bank which talked about a 11% decline in consumption among customers and retail loans are now under pressure. China's exports to the US are down 27% because of the tariffs, but worldwide their exports are up 8%. It was recently reported that Beijing banned foreign AI chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel from government funding data center buildouts. Currently, China cannot pass the US and its allies in producing the most advance semiconductors, but they're making very good progress in developing mid-level chips and parts of the AI ecosystem. The US must continue to forge ahead because if we rest, China will be the world dominant power    Financial Planning: 50-year Mortgage: Helpful or Hurtful? A 50-year mortgage is being discussed as a way to reduce monthly payments and help with affordability, offering borrowers slightly lower costs that could help them qualify for homes otherwise out of reach. Critics argue that these loans would saddle buyers with far more interest paid to banks and that many borrowers would never pay off such a long mortgage, but those arguments often miss the bigger picture. Paying a low rate of interest to a bank is not inherently bad if it allows someone to invest money elsewhere at higher returns, just as today's homeowners with 30-year mortgages at 2% benefit greatly from not paying them off early. Also, most mortgages today are never fully paid off anyway because homes are sold, or loans are refinanced long before they reach maturity. A 50-year loan would be no different, especially since borrowers could always pay more than the minimum if they wanted to accelerate payoff. In practice, savvy investors would likely use the freed-up cash flow from 50-year mortgages to invest in higher-return opportunities, but most borrowers probably wouldn't resulting in slower wealth accumulation for the masses without addressing the root cause of housing affordability. If used correctly, this loan could be a useful tool, but I fear the overall impact could be damaging.     Companies Discussed:  Axon Enterprise (AXON), Zoetis Inc. (ZTS), Elf Beauty Inc.

Wann lernte der Mensch, Feuer zu machen? Archäologen suchen weltweit nach Spuren - vom Fischkochen bis zum Magdalénien-Ofen an der Saale. In dieser Podcast - Folge geht IQ Autorin Dagmar Röhrlich auf eine Spurensuche zwischen Glut, Stein und Wissenschaft.

Nur eine Lampe steht auf dem Tisch am Ende des Raumes. Ihre Birne macht die letzten Atemzüge und flackert ihrem Ende entgegen. Vor mir sitzt im Halbdunkel Klaas Heufer-Umlauf. Mit einer Kreditkarte teilt er einen Berg Kokain in vier Reihen. Die goldene Amex schabt und kratzt dabei über den Tisch. „Nur ein Spinnenbeinchen, Schmitti“…haucht er mit erschöpfter Stimme. Seine Stimmbänder ermattet wie die Glut der Birne, sein Klang nasal und leer. Blut tropft auf das weiße Pulver, färbt es rot. Gegen den Widerstand der zähen Flüssigkeit aus der Nase, zieht der Moderator, das Pulver irgendwie hoch. Über die Schleimhäute gelangt es ins Gehirn und Klarheit legt sich sanft über die Selbstzweifel, alle Unsicherheit wird erstickt. Vakuum für die Gedanken, die Gefühle erfrieren. Während Klaas schwebt, zieht Schmitti das „Spinnenbein“, dazu die roten Reste. Auch er verschwindet in der eigenen Unendlichkeit. Inneres Exil. Wie eine Lupe wirken die Tränen vor meinen Augen. Sie vergrößern das Elend vor mir. Zwei Freunde, zu Eis erstarrt. Aus Klaas Nase tropft das Blut. Schmittis Tätowierungen eitrig. Die Zigarette in seiner Hand glimmt in die Haut seines Zeigefingers. Wo hatte dieser Zerfall begonnen? Ich wühle in meiner Erinnerung. Mein Herz stoppt. Es war die Aufnahme der Folge „Kokstaxi wider Willen“ als wir beschlossen hatten, drogenabhängig zu werden, damit wir unserem langweiligen Leben eine für eine Netflix Dokumentation spannende Wendung verpassen. Eben jene Wendung, die den Zuschauern die Pupillen weiten und den Atem stocken lassen. Der Beifall des geifernden Publikums ist nun gewiss. Potenzierter Voyeurismus. Stunde Null für den Spannungsbogen. Die Asche für den Phoenix. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren? Hier findest du alle Infos & Rabatte: https://linktr.ee/BaywatchBerlin

Nearly 70% of Russian crude production and exports are now under sanctions, raising costs and slowing settlements even though only 5% of exports use US dollars. Russia has relied on offshore traders and new entities to maintain flows, but this is more challenging for major producers like Rosneft and Lukoil. Indian imports may fall by 400 kbd, while Chinese flows should remain steady. Over time, Russia can redirect up to 0.8 mbd to other markets and China could absorb an additional 1 mbd, but profit margins will narrow due to higher costs and deeper discounts. Export volumes are expected to stabilize within a quarter after an initial pause.   Speaker:   Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research   This podcast was recorded on October 24, 2025.

In this reflective, good-humoured episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Gemma wander from hornets and sweet chestnuts to big ideas in space design and session planning. They unpack a fresh “great board experiment” that swaps linear timetables for an Eight Shields-inspired planning wheel, then dive into a beautiful Japanese coffee-table book, The World Designed for Children, to ask how architecture can invite play. Along the way: apples, dehydrators, built-in play features, minimalism versus loose parts, logos and community identity, and a brand-new concept Lewis coins on air — Ludo Botany — matching kinds of play with specific plants and woodland management over time. It is a lively mix of practice, philosophy, and proper woodland gossip.

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley argue that China's ban on critical mineral exports could backfire by driving U.S. innovation and domestic refining. They explain China's control lies in refining, not mining, and predict new capacity will emerge in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. The episode also covers China and Iran's oil-for-infrastructure deal, California's stalled oil projects, Baytex's asset sale, and contrasting oil price outlooks from ConocoPhillips' Ryan Lance and Occidental's Vicki Holub — with a spotlight on natural gas demand from the AI boom.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner breaks down contrasting oil market outlooks from ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance, who challenges oversupply fears and projects a $70–$75 rebound, and Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub, who foresees a tighter $58–$62 range through 2026. Hollub also highlights natural gas growth driven by AI-powered data center demand. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser reinforces this, asserting fossil fuels—not renewables—will fuel the AI revolution. Meanwhile, JPMorgan announces a $10B equity push into U.S. strategic industries, including energy resilience. Tanner sees volatility persisting amid geopolitical tensions and cooling oil prices, closing with a call to stay tuned for earnings season and investment insight.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contactGet a great deal on home solar (or add a quality battery to your existing setup): https://autoexpert.com.au/solarIn this video:Polestar has just started offering battery state of health certificates on select used Polestar 2s being resold in its dealer network. Companies don't get up in the morning and randomly decide this kind of thing is a good idea. It has to be for a reason.According to them: "As part of the Polestar Pre-owned programme, in which select used cars re-enter the partner network, the certificate transparently shows customers the battery health and capacity of a used Polestar 2. Certifying the useable battery as a percentage, customers can purchase a pre-owned Polestar 2 with peace-of-mind that the car's battery is in optimal condition."The battery in a Polestar 2 is actually one of the few things that's proven quite robust so far, with very few owners complaining about range falling into the Marianas Trench. There have been plenty of other faults, but not the battery.Doing this is most probably because the rest of the car has proven to be such an unreliable, abject lemon. Like, don't mind the lemon - look at how healthy the battery is, dude. Again, according to them: "Since its launch in 2020, Polestar 2 has received over 20 over-the-air (OTA) software updates, allowing the car to continuously improve over time. For Polestar 2, OTA updates have led to efficiency gains, extending the car's range through battery management, new functionality with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as many loved apps including Waze and YouTube. With regularly scheduled software updates, Pre-owned customers can be assured they have the latest software features in their car."This is a very interesting way to put it. It's a totally true statement - as far as it goes - but not exactly a complete picture of the OTA reality. I'd argue that many - maybe most - of these OTAs are (often unsuccessful) attempts to fix something that should have been sorted in R&D, before deploying the vehicle publicly.So, battery health certificate or not, Polestar 2 is set to go down in the history books as one of the first enduring EV lemons. Cybertruck is on the podium, certainly, but Polestar 2 is up there, in the Lemon-Scented EV Sweepstakes.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX A world-first human trial of a drug designed to treat the underlying cause of type 1 diabetes has begun in Australia. University of Queensland researcher Ranjeny Thomas said the experimental drug — dubbed ASITI-201 — was designed to retrain the immune system so it no longer attacks the insulin-producing pancreatic cells, known as beta cells. The drug, given as an injection under the skin, combines fragments of a protein found in the beta cells of people with type 1 diabetes and vitamin D to calm the immune response. She said if effective, the drug would initially be given to patients with type 1 diabetes as soon as possible after diagnosis to preserve remaining pancreatic cells and reduce the amount of insulin needed. But eventually, if screening programs can be developed to pick up people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, it may be possible to "prevent the progression of the disease altogether". The first in-human trial of 36 participants will test the safety of the drug, but blood tests will also determine the impact of the therapy on a patient's immune system and glucose tolerance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/type-1-diabetes-drug-trial-auto-immune-disease-science/105223022 XX   Diabetes deaths in the U.S. have fallen to some of the lowest rates in years, according to new preliminary figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reversing a surge in mortality that was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.   There were 26.4 deaths per 100,000 people from diabetes, according to early death certificate data for the third quarter of 2024 published this month by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.   Death rates from diabetes peaked in 2021, according to CDC figures, at 31.1 deaths per 100,000 people for that year. Diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in 2021. The CDC says the link between COVID-19 and diabetes may be to blame for that increase.   "Data show an increase in mortality rates for all people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and research shows that people with underlying conditions, including diabetes, are more likely to become very sick from COVID-19 and have a higher risk of hospitalization and death," Christopher Holliday, head of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation, told CBS News in a statement.   Holliday added that research shows the pandemic may also have made it harder for Americans to properly manage the disease, ranging from interruptions to physical activity to disruptions to routine medical care diagnosing and treating the disease.   https://www.cbsnews.com/news/diabetes-deaths-lowest-levels-years-early-cdc-figures/ XX Big news for the Eversense CGM – they have their first pump partner. Sequel Med Tech says the twist pump will integrate with Senseonics Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This collaboration would make twiist the first AID system compatible with Eversense 365, the world's first and only one-year CGM. Sequel and Senseonics say they have already started their work to integrate the latest-generation, 365-day implantable sensor with twiist. They expect to make the integrated offering available in the third quarter of this year. This marks the second CGM integration for Sequel, which partnered with Abbott and its FreeStyle Libre platform earlier this year. This week we also got a peek at the packaging and delivery of the twist as the first people posted about wearing it. We'll follow up and learn more about this newest insulin pump in the us. Senseonics, meanwhile, brought the first year-long CGM to market last year, launching Eversense 365 with its global distribution partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, in October 2024. The system also received clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sequel-senseonics-integrate-cgm-insulin-pump/ XX Medtronic has announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Simplera Sync sensor for use with the MiniMed 780G system. With this approval, the MiniMed 780G system now offers more flexibility for users of the company's most advanced insulin delivery system featuring Meal Detection technology with both the Guardian 4 sensor and Simplera Sync sensor.   The Simplera Sync is a disposable, all-in-one sensor that requires no fingersticks with SmartGuard or overtape and features a simple, two-step insertion process. It is the company's newest addition to its CGM portfolio, which expands options and provides greater flexibility for users.   The MiniMed 780G system's adaptive algorithm automatically anticipates, adjusts, and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 – working around the clock so users can focus on what matters. It's the only system featuring Meal Detection technology, which detects rising sugar levels and delivers more insulin as needed to help users keep glucose levels in range more often – even when users occasionally forget to dose insulin for snacks or meals or underestimate their carbs.   The system uses a “treat to target” approach and flexible glucose targets as low as 100 mg/dL, which, combined with its adaptive algorithm allows it to more closely mirror the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes.   Real-world data of the system shows global users consistently achieve time in range above international targets of 70% when using optimal settings (active insulin time of two hours and 100 mg/dL target glucose). It is also the only system that works with the world's only infusion set that lasts up to 7 days so that users only have to change their infusion set once per week and can experience 96% fewer injections compared to multiple daily injections.   “We're committed to driving innovation that makes life easier for those living with diabetes so they can forget about their diabetes as much as possible throughout the day,” said Que Dallara, EVP and president of Medtronic Diabetes. “Our MiniMed 780G system delivers advanced diabetes technology for so many around the world, and we're excited to continue evolving this experience with expanded CGM options —including our Simplera Sync sensor, which we look forward to bringing to people living with diabetes in the U.S.”   A limited launch of the Simplera Sync sensor will begin in the U.S. in the fall of 2025. Today, the MiniMed 780G system can be used with the Guardian 4 sensor.   Like this:https://med-techinsights.com/2025/04/29/simplera-sync-sensor-for-minimed-780g-now-fda-approved/ XX Front office changes at Insulet.. The former head of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide medtech business, Ashley McEvoy will take over as president and CEO from Jim Hollingshead, who has led Insulet since 2022. In its announcement of the leadership change, Insulet said that Hollingshead and the company mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. McEvoy served as worldwide medtech chairman at J&J from 2018 until her departure in late 2023, the culmination of nearly 30 years at the company and several executive roles—including president of its Ethicon division and group chairman of vision and diabetes care. Since then, she has also served as a board member at Procter & Gamble. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/insulet-taps-former-jj-medtech-head-ashley-mcevoy-be-ceo XX New free mobile game launched this week to make type 1 diabetes onboarding faster easier and less overwhelming. It's called Level One.. created by Level Ex (Powered by Relevate Health), the studio behind award-winning medical games for medical professionals. Level Ex CEO Sam Glassenberg created the game after a – quote  - brutal onboarding experience when his daughter was diagnosed five years ago He says  It took a year to understand how to manage this disease. So we fixed it. We built a game that can train your brain to do it in a matter of hours." The game is launching in partnership with leading diabetes organizations Beyond Type 1 and Breakthrough T1D Play, who are integrating Level One into their outreach and educational campaigns to support newly diagnosed families worldwide.

As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen provides essential structure and support to nearly all tissues and organs.   Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Feinberg Lab have made a major breakthrough using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique. This method enables the precise printing of soft, living cells and tissues. Leveraging this technology, the team successfully created the first-ever microphysiologic system, also known as a tissue model, constructed entirely from collagen. This advancement opens new possibilities for studying disease and engineering tissue therapies, including potential treatments for conditions like Type 1 diabetes.   Traditionally, small-scale models of human tissue, referred to as microfluidics, organ-on-chip devices, or microphysiologic systems, have been fabricated using synthetic materials such as silicone rubber or plastics. These materials were necessary due to limitations in earlier manufacturing techniques. However, because they are not biologically native, they fail to fully replicate natural tissue environments, restricting their effectiveness in biomedical research and therapeutic development.   “Now, we can build microfluidic systems in the Petri dish entirely out of collagen, cells, and other proteins, with unprecedented structural resolution and fidelity,” explained Adam Feinberg, a professor of biomedical engineering and materials science & engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. “Most importantly, these models are fully biologic, which means cells function better.”   Building Complex Tissues with FRESH Bioprinting In new research published in Science Advances, the group demonstrates the use of this FRESH bioprinting advancement, building more complex vascularized tissues out of fully biologic materials, to create a pancreatic-like tissue that could potentially be used in the future to treat Type 1 diabetes. This advancement in FRESH bioprinting builds on the team's earlier work published in Science, by improving the resolution and quality to create fluidic channels that are like blood vessels down to about 100-micron diameter.   “There were several key technical developments to the FRESH printing technology that enabled this work,” described Daniel Shiwarski, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh and prior postdoctoral fellow in the Feinberg lab. “By implementing a single-step bioprinting fabrication process, we manufactured collagen-based perfusable CHIPS in a wide range of designs that exceed the resolution and printed fidelity of any other known bioprinting approach to date. Further, when combined with multi-material 3D bioprinting of ECM proteins, growth factors, and cell-laden bioinks and integration into a custom bioreactor platform, we were able to create a centimeter-scale pancreatic-like tissue construct capable of producing glucose-stimulated insulin release exceeding current organoid based approaches.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-bioprint-living-tissues-that-could-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment/ XX Another study showing the blood sugar benefit of walking after a meal. Skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose uptake. Exercise stimulates glucose transport into muscle cells through insulin-independent pathways, notably through the action of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4), which is responsible for transporting glucose from blood to skeletal muscles.4 This means that even without a robust insulin response, physical activity can facilitate glucose clearance from the bloodstream. These effects also occur without requiring high-intensity exercise, making postprandial walking accessible to a broad range of individuals, including those with limited exercise tolerance. multiple studies show that starting activity within 30 minutes after a meal is optimal. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Walking-After-Meals-Small-Habit-Big-Metabolic-Gains.aspx XX Dexcom brings back Dexcom U for a 4th years.

In this episode of the Primal Potential Podcast, we're diving into three powerful but simple strategies to help you optimize your blood sugar, improve your insulin sensitivity, and increase your energy levels. These are real-world, easy-to-implement hacks that go beyond the usual “eat less sugar” advice. Before we get started, grab your copy of my new Fat Loss E-Book! Here's the link. And, head over to my new YouTube channel to subscribe and turn on notifications before the new Carb Series kicks off next week.  Hack #1: Get Sunlight First Thing in the Morning ☀️ Did you know that getting direct sunlight within the first hour of waking helps reset your circadian rhythm, which plays a major role in blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity? Pairing this with light movement (like a 10-minute walk or some gentle stretching) can improve how efficiently your body uses glucose before breakfast. What the Science Says: On average, exposure to sunlight improved insulin sensitivity by 18.75%. Median improvement was 18%, meaning half of people experienced even greater benefits. Range of effects: Sunlight exposure improved insulin function by 15-22%. Glucose tolerance: Participants who got more sunlight saw a 12-16% improvement in how well their bodies processed carbohydrates.

For many of us, daily life is defined by a near-constant stream of decisions, from what to buy on Amazon to what to watch on Netflix. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider how we came to see endless selection as a fundamental right. The hosts discuss “The Age of Choice,” a new book by the historian Sophia Rosenfeld, which traces how our fixation with the freedom to choose has evolved over the centuries. Today, an abundance of choice in one sphere often masks a lack of choice in others—and, with so much focus on individual rather than collective decision-making, the glut of options can contribute to a profound sense of alienation. “When all you do is choose, choose, choose, what you do is end up by yourself,” Cunningham says. “Putting yourself with people seems to be one of the salves.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Could Anyone Keep Track of This Year's Microtrends?” by Danielle Cohen (The Cut)“The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life,” by Sophia Rosenfeld“The Federalist Papers,” by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay“What Does It Take to Quit Shopping?
