Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine held a press conference at the Pentagon on Wednesday. General Caine said the U.S. military will begin expanding ‘inland' and striking deeper into Iran. Caine added that their progress has let U.S. Central Command to gain ‘air superiority' with ‘overwhelming precision and firepower.'The 2026 midterm election season kicked off on Tuesday with several high-profile primary elections. In Texas, Senator John Cornyn has been pushed into a runoff against Attorney General Ken Paxton the state's Republican Senate primary. On the Democrat side, James Talarico was declared the winner over Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The November matchup for the U.S. Senate race in North Carolina is set, with Republican Michael Whatley and Democrat Roy Cooper facing off.Qatar's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that an Iranian missile hit the Al Udeid U.S. airbase. Saudi Arabian state media is also reporting that the country intercepted and destroyed nine drones that entered its airspace. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confirming an Iranian drone hit the U.S. consulate in Dubai. Rubio says all personnel are accounted for.

Wie verändert sich eine Spezialeinheit wie die GSG9 der Bundespolizei in einer Welt, die zunehmend von hybriden Bedrohungen, Terrorismus und geopolitischen Spannungen geprägt ist? In dieser Hintergrundfolge von „Dark Matters” spricht Eva-Maria Lemke über die strategische Neuausrichtung der GSG9 mit dem ARD-Geheimdienstexperten Michael Götschenberg. Er sagt: Heute liegt der Schwerpunkt wieder stärker im Inland und im unmittelbaren europäischen Umfeld. Terrorabwehr, Bekämpfung organisierter Kriminalität und der Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur. Doch die Bedrohungslage ist komplexer geworden. Neben islamistischem Terrorismus und Rechtsextremismus rückt vor allem der sogenannte hybride Krieg in den Fokus – Sabotage, Spionage und mögliche Operationen staatlicher Akteure wie Russland. Szenarien reichen von Angriffen auf Untersee-Kabel und LNG-Terminals bis hin zu koordinierten Anschlägen auf Energie- und Verkehrsinfrastruktur. Wenn ihr mehr über die Arbeit der GSG9 und einen Einsatz aus dem Jahr 2004 erfahren wollt, der die Spezialeinheit bis heute beschäftigt, dann hört die Haupt-Folge „Die Spezialeinheit und ihre Höllentour nach Bagdad“. Und ein Tipp zum Weiterhören: Bei „Streitkräfte und Strategien“ sprechen die Hosts über Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine und seine weitreichenden Folgen mit ARD-Reportern in der Ukraine und in den Ländern, die sich auch zunehmend bedroht fühlen. Wie lange hält der Frieden an der russischen Grenze und wo ist Europa bereits von einem hybriden Krieg betroffen? Antworten geben im Podcast Militärhistoriker und Sicherheitsexpertinnen. Hört gerne rein, zum Beispiel in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/Streitkraefte_und_Strategien

Snow in the forecast again through Thursday morningWe'll see what transpires... the forecast calls for snow above 500 feet. For coastal snow lovers, maybe some pretty flurries. Inland, expect some driving challenges in the morning.

I’m your host Allen Hall, and I’m here with Yolanda Padron and Rosemary Barnes, and we’re all in Australia at the same time. We’re getting ready for Woma 2026, which is going to happen when this release is, will be through the first day. Uh, it’ll, it’s gonna be a big conference and right now. We’re so close to, to selling it out within a couple of people, so it’ll be a great event. So those of you listening to this podcast, hopefully you’re at Wilma 2026 and we’ll see, see you there. Uh, the news for this week, there’s a number of, of big, uh, country versus country situations going on. Uh, the one at the moment is [00:01:00] ING Yang in Scotland, and as we know, uh, Scotland. It has been offered by Ming Yang, uh, to build a factory there. They’re put about one and a half billion pounds into Scotland, uh, that is not going so well. So, so they’re talking about 3000 jobs, 1.5 billion in investment and then. Building, uh, offshore turbines for Britain and the larger Europe, but the UK government is hesitating and they have not approved it yet. And Scotland’s kind of caught in the middle. Ming Yang is supposedly looking elsewhere that they’re tired of waiting and figure they can probably get another factory somewhere in Europe. I don’t think this is gonna end well. Everyone. I think Bing Yang is obviously being pushed by the Chinese, uh, government to, to explore Scotland and try to get into Scotland and the Scottish government and leaders in the Scottish government have been meeting with, uh, [00:02:00] Chinese officials for a year or two. From what I can tell, if this doesn’t end with the factory in Scotland. Is China gonna take it out on the uk? And are they gonna build, is is me gonna be able to build a factory in Europe? Europe at the minute is looking into the Chinese investments into their wind turbine infrastructure in, in terms of basically tax support and, and funding and grants of that, uh, uh, aspect to, to see if China is undercutting prices artificially. Uh, which I think the answer is gonna be. Yes. So where does this go? It seems like a real impasse. At a moment when the UK in particular, and Europe, uh, the greater Europe are talking about more than a hundred gigawatts of offshore wind,  Yolanda Padron: I mean, just with the, the business that you mentioned that’s coming into to the uk, right? Will they have without Min Yang the ability to, to reach their goals?  Allen Hall: So you have the Siemens [00:03:00] factory in hall. They have a Vestus factory in Hollow White on the sort of the bottom of the country. Right. Then Vestus has had a facility there for a long time and the UK just threw about 20 million pounds into reopening the onshore blade portion of that factory ’cause it had been mothballed several months ago. It does seem like maybe there’s an alternative plan within the UK to stand up its own blade manufacturing and turbine manufacturing facilities, uh, to do a lot of things in country. Who I don’t think we know. Is it Siemens? Is it ge? Is it Vestus or is it something completely British? Maybe all the above. Rosemary. You know, being inside of a Blade factory for a long time with lm, it’s pretty hard to stand up a Blade factory quickly. How many years would it take you if you wanted to start today? Before you would actually produce a a hundred meter long offshore blade,  Rosemary Barnes: I reckon you could do it in a year if you had like real, real strong motivation [00:04:00] Allen Hall: really. Rosemary Barnes: I think so. I mean, it’s a big shed and like, it, it would be, most of the delays would be like regulatory and, you know, hiring, getting enough people hired and trained and that sort of thing. But, um, if you had good. Support from the, the government and not too much red tape to deal with. Then, uh, you know, if you’ve got lots of manufacturing capability elsewhere, then you can move people. Like usually when, um, when I worked at LM there were a few new factories opened while I was working there, and I’m sure that they took longer than, than a year in terms of like when it was first thought of. But, um, you know, once the decision was made, I, I actually dunno how long, how long it took. So it is a guess, but it didn’t, it didn’t take. As long as you would think it wasn’t. It wasn’t years and years, that’s for sure. Um, and what they would do is they don’t, you know, hire a whole new workforce and train them up right from the start. And then once they’re ready to go, then they start operating. What they’ll do to start with is they’ve got, you know, like a bunch [00:05:00] of really good people from the global factories, like all around, um, who will go, um, you know, from all roles. And I’m not talking just management at all, like it will include technicians, um, you know, every, every role in the factory, they’ll get people from another factory to go over. And, um, you know, they do some of the work. They’re training up local people so you know, there’s more of a gradual handover. And also so that you know, the best practices, um, get spread from factory to factory and make a good global culture. ’cause obviously like you’ve got the same design everywhere. You want the same quality coming out everywhere. Um, there is, as much as you try and document everything should be documented in work instructions. That should make it, you know, impossible to do things wrong. However, you never quite get to that standard and, um. There is a lot, a lot to be said for just the know-how and the culture of the people doing the um, yeah, doing the work.  Allen Hall: So the infrastructure would take about a year to build, but the people would have to come from the broader Europe then at [00:06:00] least temporarily.  Rosemary Barnes: That, that would be the fastest and safest way to do it. Like if it’s a brand new company that has never made a wind turbine before and someone just got a few, you know, I don’t know, a billion dollars, and um, said, let’s start a wind turbine factory, then I think it’s gonna be a few years and there’s gonna be some learning curve before it starts making blades fast enough. And. With the correct quality. Um, yeah. But if you’re just talking about one more factory from a company that already has half a dozen or a dozen wind turbine blade factories elsewhere in the world, then that’s where I think it can be done fast.  Allen Hall: This, uh, type of situation actually pops up a lot in aerospace, uh, power plants, engines. The jet engines on a lot of aircraft are kind of a combined effort from. Big multinational companies. So if they want to build something in country, they’ll hook up with a GE or a, a Honeywell or somebody who makes Jet engines and they’ll create this division and they’ll [00:07:00] stand this, this, uh, plant up. Maybe it’s gonna be something like that where GB energy is in the middle, uh, providing the funding and some of the resources, but they bring in another company, like a Siemens, like a Vestas, like a GE or a Nordex even to come in and to. Do the operational aspects and maybe some of the training pieces. But, uh, there’s a, there’s a funding arm and a technical arm, and they create a standalone, uh, British company to go manufacture towers to go manufacture in the cells to manufacture blades. Is that where you think this goes?  Rosemary Barnes: It depends also what kind of, um, component you’re talking about. Like if you’re talking about, I, I was talking a specific example of wind turbine blades, which are a mediumly complex thing to make, I would say, um. Yeah. And then if you go on the simpler side, when turbine towers, most countries would have the. Rough expertise needed, um, to, to do that. Nearly all towers at the moment come out of [00:08:00] China, um, or out of Asia. And with China being the, the vast bulk of those. Um, and it’s because they’ve got, aside from having very, very cheap steel, um, they also have just got huge factories that are set up with assembly lines so that, you know, there’s not very much moving of things back and forth. So they have the exact right bit of equipment to do. The exact right kind of, you know, like rolling and welding and they’re not moving tower sections around a lot. That makes it really hard for, um, for other countries to compete. But it’s not because they couldn’t make towers, it’s because they would struggle to make them cheap enough. Um, so yeah, if you set up a factory, you know, say you set up a wind turbine, um, factory in, uh, wind turbine tower factory in Australia, you, you could buy the equipment that you needed for, you know, a few hundred million dollars and, um. You could make it, but unless you have enough orders to keep that factory busy, you know, with the, the volume that you need to keep all of that [00:09:00] modern equipment, uh, operating just absolutely around the clock, your towers are gonna be expensive out of that facility. So that’s kind of the, that it’s cost is the main barrier when it comes to towers  Allen Hall: with Vestus in Mitsubishi recently having a partnership and then ending that partnership. It would seem like Vestus has the most experience in putting large corporations together to work on a, an advanced wind turbine project is they would, it would make sense to me if, if, if Vestus was involved because Vestus also has facilities in the uk. Are they the leading choice you think just because they have that experience with Mitsubishi and they have something in country or you think it’s somebody else? Is it a ge  Rosemary Barnes: My instinct is saying Vestas. Yes,  Allen Hall: me too. Okay.  Rosemary Barnes: Ge. It’s wind turbine Manufacturing seems to be in a bit of a, more of an ebb rather than a flow right now, so I [00:10:00] mean that’s, that’s probably as much as what it’s based on. Um, and then yes, like the location of, of factories, there are already some vest, uh, factories, vest people in the uk so that would make it easier. : Delamination and bottomline failures and blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep into blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections completely miss. C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions.[00:11:00] Allen Hall: Can you build a renewable energy future on someone else’s supply chain? Well, in Australia, the last domestic wind tower manufacturers are down. Last year, after losing a 15 year battle against cheaper imports from China, now the Albanese government wants to try again, launching a consultation to revive local manufacturing. Meanwhile, giant turbines are rising in Western Australia’s. Largest wind farms soon to power 164,000 homes. Uh, the steel towers, blades and the cells, they all arrive on ships. And the question is whether that’s going to change anytime soon. Rosemary?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, it’s, uh, it’s a topic I’ve thought about a lot and done a fair bit of work on as well, local manufacturing and whether you should or shouldn’t, the Australian government does try to support local manufacturing in. General, um, and in particular for renewables, but they focused much more on solar and [00:12:00] batteries. Um, with their manufacturing support, Australian government and agencies like a uh, arena, Australian Renewable Energy Agency have not traditionally supported wind like at all. It bothers me because actually Australia is a fantastic place to be developing some of these supporting technologies for wind energy and even the next generation of wind energy. Um, technologies, we, not any manufacturing. There are heaps of, um, things that would make it more suitable Australia, like just actually a really natural place to develop that. The thing about Australian projects is that they are. Big. Right. That makes it really attractive to developers because like in Europe where they’re, you know, still building wind, but you know, an onshore wind farm in Europe is like a couple of turbines here or there, maybe five, like a big wind farm would be 10, 10 turbines over there. Um, in Australia it’s like a hundred, 200 turbines at a time. Um, for onshore also choosing. Really big turbines. Australians, for some reason, Australian developers really like to [00:13:00] choose the latest technologies. And then if we think about some of the, um, you know, like new supporting technologies for existing wind turbines, like, you know, let’s, um, talk about. O and m there’s a whole lot of, um, o and m technologies, and Australia’s a great place for that too because as Australia wind farms spend so much on o and m compared to other countries. So a technology provider that can improve some of those pain points can much quicker get like a positive, um, return on investment in Australia than they would be able to in somewhere like America or, or Europe. So I think it makes sense to develop here  Allen Hall: with the number of wind farms. Rosie, I, I completely agree with you and. When we were talking about the war Dge wind Farm, which is the Western Australian wind farm that’s gonna expand, they’re adding 30 turbines to provide 283 megawatts. That’s like a nine and a half megawatt machine. Those are big turbines. Those are new turbines, right? That’s not something that’s been around for a couple years. They’ve been around for a couple of months in, in terms of the lifespan of, of wind [00:14:00] turbines. So if Australia’s gonna go down the pathway of larger turbines, the, the most advanced turbines. It has to make sense that some of this has, has to be developed in country just because you need to have the knowledge to go repair, modify, improve, adjust, figure out what the next generation is, right? I don’t know how you, this happens.  Rosemary Barnes: We see some examples of that. Right. And I think that Fortescue is the best example of, um, companies that are trying to think forward to what they’re going to need to make their, you know, they’ve got ambitious plans for putting in some big wind farms with. Big wind turbines in really remote locations. So they’ve got a lot of, um, it’s a lot of obvious challenges there. Um, and I know that they’re thinking ahead and working through that. And so, you know, we saw their investment in, um, nbra wind, the Spanish company and in particular their nbra lift. The bit of the tower that attaches to the rotor. It looks [00:15:00] pretty normal. Um, but then they make it taller by, um, slotting in like a lattice framework. Um, and then they jack it up and slot in another one underneath and jack it up and slot in another one underneath. So they don’t need a gigantic crane and they don’t need, um, I mean, it’s still a huge crane, but they don’t, they don’t, it doesn’t need to be as, as big because, you know, the rotor starts, starts off already on there by the time that the tower gets su to its full height. So, um, yeah, it’s a lot. That’s an innovative solution, I think, and it would, I would be very surprised if they weren’t also looking at every other technology that they’re gonna need in these turbines.  Allen Hall: If Australia’s gonna go down the pathway of large turbines on shore, then the manufacturing needs to happen in country. There’s no other way to do it. And you could have manufacturing facilities in Western Australia or Victoria and still get massive turbine blades shipped or trucked either way. To [00:16:00] wherever they needed it to go. In country, it would, it’s not that hard to get around Australia and unlike other countries like, like Germany was a lot of mountains and you had bridges and narrow roads and all that, and it, it’s, it’s much more expansive in Australia where you can move big projects around. And obviously with all the, the mining that happens in Australia, it’s pretty much normal. So I, I just trying to get over the hurdle of where the Albanese government is having an issue of sort of pushing this forward. It seems like it’s a simple thing because the Australian infrastructure is already ready. Someone need to flip the switch and say go.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know if I’d say that we’re we’re ready. ’cause Australia doesn’t have a whole lot of manufacturing of anything at the moment. It’s not true that we have no manufacturing. That’s what Australians like to say. We don’t manufacture anything and that’s not true. We do manufacture. We have some pretty good advanced manufacturing. If you just look at the hard economics of wind turbine manufacturing in Australia of solar panel manufacturing, battery manufacturing. Any of that, it is cheaper to just get it from China, not least [00:17:00] because some of the, um, those components are subsidized by the, the Chinese government. If you start saying, okay, we’re gonna have local manufacturing, like, you can either, you can achieve that either by supporting the local manufacturing industry, you know, like giving subsidies to our manufacturing. Or you could, um, make a local content requirement. Um, say things, you know, if you want project approval for this, then it has to have so much local content. You have to do it really carefully because if you get the settings wrong, then you just end up with very, very expensive, um, renewable energy. And at the moment, especially wind is. Expensive, and I think it’s still getting more expensive in Australia. It has been since, basically since the pandemic. If you then said, we’ve gotta also make it in Australia, then you add a bunch more costs and we would just probably not have wind energy then, so, uh, or new, new wind energy. So there needs to be that balance. But I think that like, even though you can say, okay, cheapest is best, it is also not good to rely on. [00:18:00] Exclusively on other countries, and especially not on just one other country to give you all of your energy infrastructure. If it was up to me, I would be much more supporting the next wave of, um, technologies. I would really love to see, you know, a new Australian. Wind turbine blade manufacturing method. Like at some point in the next decade, we’re going to start getting, uh, advanced manufacturing is gonna make it into wind turbine blades. It’s already there in some of the other components.  Allen Hall: Wait, so you just said if we were gonna build a factory in Scotland, it would take about a year. Why would it take 10 years to do it in Australia? Australia’s a nice place to live.  Rosemary Barnes: No, I didn’t say that. It would, it would take teens. I said in, sometime in the next decade around the world, wind turbine blades are basically handmade, right? They, you know, there are some, um, machines that are helping people, but you know, you have a look at a picture of a wind turbine blade factor and there’s, you know, there’s 20 people walking over, walking over a blade, smoothing down glass. And at some point we’re gonna start using advanced manufacturing methods. I [00:19:00] mean, there are really advanced composite manufacturing methods. Um, you know, with, um, individual fiber placement and 3D printing with, um, continuous fibers. And that’s being used for like aerospace components a lot. It’s early days for that technology and there is no barrier to the technologies to being able to put them, you know, like say on a GaN gantry that just, you know, like ran down the length of a whole blade like that, that could be done. If it was economic, that’s the kind of technology that Australia should be supporting before that’s the mainstream, and everybody else has already done it, right? You need to find the next thing, and ideally not just one next thing, but several next things because you’re not gonna, you don’t know ahead of time, um, which is gonna be the winner. Allen Hall: That hasn’t been the tack that China has taken, that the latest technology in batteries is not something that China is producing today. They’re producing a generation prior, but they’re doing it at scale. At some point they, the Chinese just said, we’re stopping here and we’re gonna do this, this kind of [00:20:00] battery, and that’s it. And away we go. If we keep waiting until the next generation of blade techniques come out, I think we’re gonna be waiting forever.  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t think why I think. Do, you know, make the next generation of, of blade bio technologies?  Yolanda Padron: I think it makes sense for someplace like Australia, right? Because we, we’ve talked about the fact that like here, you, you have to consider a lot of factors in operation that you don’t have to consider in other places, especially for blades, right? So if you can eliminate all of those issues, for the most part that are happening in the factory at manufacturing, then that can really help boost. The next operational projects.  Allen Hall: So then what you’re saying is that. There are new technologies, but what stage are they at? Are they TRL two, TRL five, TRL seven. How close is this technology because I’d hate for Australia to miss out on this big opportunity.  Rosemary Barnes: Frown Hoffer has actually just published an article recently, uh, [00:21:00] about some, I can’t remember if it was fiber, um, tape placement or if it was printed, small wind turbine blades. Small wind is a nice, like, it’s a, a nice bite-sized kind of thing that you can master a lot quicker than you can, you know, you can make a thousand small wind turbines and learn a lot more than making 100 meter long blade. That would probably be bad because it’s your first one and you didn’t realize all of the downsides to the new technology yet. Um, so I, I think it is kind of promising, but. In terms of, yeah, like a major, like in terms of let’s say a hundred meter long blade that was made with 3D printing, that would be terra, L one. Like it’s an idea now. Nobody has actually made one or, um, done, done too much. Um, as far as I know. I think you could get, could get to nine over the next year. Like I said, like I think sometime in the next decade will be when that, when that comes.  Allen Hall: Okay. If you, you didn’t get to a nine that quickly. No, it is possible. Yeah. You gotta put some money into it.  Rosemary Barnes: If someone wants to give me, [00:22:00] you know, enough money, then I’ll make it. I’ll make it happen. I’ll, I would, I would absolutely be able to make that happen, but I don’t know when it’s gonna be cheap enough.  Allen Hall: I would just love to see it. If, if, if you’ve got a, if you’ve got a, a factory, you got squirreled away somewhere in the. Inland of Australia that is making blades at quantity or has the technology to do that. I would love to see it because that would be amazing.  Rosemary Barnes: Technologies don’t just fall out of the sky, you know, like they, you, you, you force them into existence. That’s what you, that’s what you do. You know what this comes down to? Have you ever done the, is it Myers-Briggs where you get the, like letters of your personality? You and I are in opposite corners inside some ways.  Allen Hall: That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

Die EU müsse souveräner werden, fordert Emmanuel Macron in einem aktuellen Interview. Ist dies nur Ablenkung von schlechtem Image im Inland oder notwendig für die Rettung des Staatenverbunds? Der Romanist Robert Kopp analysiert die Worte des französischen Präsidenten. Wie ist die Realität in der Ukraine? Der deutsche Journalist Ernst von Waldenfels teilt seine Reiseeindrücke. Ist gar nicht die KI das Problem, sondern der Mensch? Kontrafunk-Kollege Thomas Hoffmann erläutert das Für und Wider von künstlicher Intelligenz am Beispiel eines gerade bekannt gewordenen veritablen Skandals. Und Martina Binnig hat in ihrem Kommentar die Regulierungswut der EU-Bürokratie im Fokus.

Ein Standpunkt von Jochen Mitschka.Ein kurzer Exkurs, warum die Geschichte sich nicht wiederholt, aber immer wieder ähnelt.Wer "nie wieder" in Suchmaschinen sucht, wird auf alle möglichen Aussagen treffen, in denen aktuelle Politiker und Organisationen behaupten, genau sie verträten die moralische Verpflichtung aus dieser Erklärung nach der großen Weltkriegskatastrophe. Aber komischerweise nehmen sie es als Rechtfertigung, um genau das wieder zu beginnen, was zur letzten Katastrophe führte.Der ewige KreislaufTeile der Welt standen schon viele mal vor den Trümmern ihrer Zivilisationen und beteuerten "nie wieder". Und wir stellen fest, dass der 2. Weltkrieg nur einer von vielen solchen Ereignissen war. Interessanterweise war es auch in vielen Fällen die Begründung "das darf nicht wieder passieren", mit der man die nächste Katastrophe einleitete.Donald Trump kann sich rühmen, dem Völkerrecht, das durch den Völkermord in Gaza ins Koma gefallen war, den Stecker gezogen zu haben. Nicht dass das Völkerrecht besonders gesund und kräftig war. Es kränkelte schon von Anfang an, stand ganz unter dem Einfluss seiner dominanten Eltern, und jedes Mal, wenn es versuchte, sich selbständig zu machen, wurde es wieder mit Gewalt zur Ordnung gerufen, so dass es schwer verletzt von Misshandlungen bereits vor Gaza im Krankenbett lag. Aber Donald Trump beendete seine Existenz.Die neuen Elemente des "nie wieder"Schauen wir uns an, warum "nie wieder" heute ist. Beginnen wir mit dem Unterhemd, dem eigenen Verschulden. Deutschland militarisiert in einem atemberaubenden Maße, Diskussionen über atomare Bewaffnung beginnen, und man will die mächtigste Kriegsstreitmacht Europas werden. Während Österreich de facto seine Neutralität aufgegeben hat. Europa muss kriegstüchtig, nicht friedenstüchtig werden."Erstmals findet die noch bis März dauernde Kriegsübung Quadriga in diesem Jahr nicht mehr als 'reine Übung', sondern als 'einsatznahe Operation' statt. Dies teilt die Bundeswehr mit. Quadriga wird seit 2024 jährlich durchgeführt; geprobt wird ein Krieg gegen Russland, für den in diesem Jahr in Deutschland, in Litauen und auf Nord- und Ostsee geübt wird. Mit dem Übergang von fiktivem Übungsszenario zu 'einsatznaher Operation' verlagert die Armee ihre Manöveraktivitäten in Deutschland zugleich zunehmend von den Truppenübungsplätzen in den zivilen Bereich. Dabei kam es schon im vergangenen Jahr zu Verletzten. Erst kürzlich wurden der Zivilbevölkerung anlässlich eines Manövers 'im öffentlichen Raum' Antragsformulare für 'Ersatzleistungen bei Übungsschäden' angeboten. Das Grundgesetz erlaubt militärische Operationen der Armee im Inland nur als Ausnahme, unter anderem im Spannungsfall. Parallel zur Ausweitung der Manöver im Inland findet das Wort Krieg, das man noch vor wenigen Jahren in offiziellen Erklärungen vergeblich suchte, zunehmend Eingang in Äußerungen von Politikern und in die Leitmedien. Ein Krieg gegen Russland ist zum offen diskutierten realen Zukunftsszenario geworden."

Before his current indie rock focus, he was heavily involved in the emo, screamo, and hardcore scenes throughout high school and his early twenties.• Inland Years: This project began around the pandemic as a "sanity project." Ryan writes the songs and performs all the instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) on the recordings.• Past Bands: He was previously in a "skramz" (underground/DIY screamo) band called Hassan I Sabbah. He also mentioned playing a small show with Saves the Day in the mid-90s before they became famous.Musical Influences and Comparisons• The Sound: Listeners and reviewers have compared his music to Dinosaur Jr. and Lou Barlow.• Inspirations: Ryan cites a wide range of influences, from Jangle Pop (Orange Juice, The Pastels) to the 60s folk-rock of The Byrds (specifically Gene Clark).• Current Favorites: He mentioned being a fan of modern artists like MJ Lenderman, Wednesday, and Water From Your Eyes.The Modern Music Scene• The "Skramz" Revival: Ryan discusses the surprising resurgence of the underground screamo scene, noting that younger fans are reaching out to him about his old music and releasing new work on physical formats like cassette tapes.• Streaming Issues: He shares a story about his music being temporarily removed from Spotify due to "botting" (artificial stream inflation) from an AI-generated playlist he didn't authorize, leading him to value physical media and platforms like Bandcamp even more.Personal Interests and Future Plans• Live Shows: Ryan performs live with a rotating group of friends from other bands. At the time of recording, he had upcoming shows in Brooklyn and Jersey City.• Hobbies: Outside of music, Ryan admits to being a Marvel nerd and recently enjoyed the series Wonderman on Disney+You can also watch the full video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldMPeiGlWoU

Silvia Polan spricht mit Michael Cap über die aktuellen Zahlen des österreichischen Tabakmarkts. Trotz rückläufigem Zigarettenvolumen steigen die Steuereinnahmen, vor allem durch zusätzliche Erhöhungen und steuerliche Anpassungen. Thema sind außerdem der wachsende Anteil nicht im Inland versteuerter Zigaretten, die Entwicklung bei Trafiken sowie die anstehenden gesetzlichen Änderungen 2026 rund um Nikotinbeutel, E-Liquids und die Modernisierung der Verbrauchsteuern.

„Viele Gründe in den USA investiert zu bleiben“Sven Anders, US-Investmentexperte bei J.P. Morgan Asset Management nennt viele gute Gründe in den USA investiert zu sein: Zum einen ist die USA mit Abstand der weltweit größte Kapitalmarkt der Welt. Der Markt – wenn man die zehn Schwergewichte des S&P mal außen vor lässt – sei gar nicht hoch bewertet und den Bewertungen stünde auch ein deutlich höheres Gewinnwachstum als in Europa gegenüber. Dies würde in Übersee auch 2026 wieder zweistellig ausfallen. Dashelfe den Unternehmen profitabler zu sein. Vor allem stünden auch die Haushalte – nicht zuletzt wegen den Steuerrabatten –gut da. Sven Anders beziffert sie auf im Schnitt 1000 US-Dollar pro Haushalt. „Und was tut der amrikanische Konsument? Er gibt das Geld sofort aus“, sagt Sven Anders und legt nahe, dieses Jahr in den USA nicht nur in Tech-Aktien, sondern  in den breiten Markt zu investieren, da viele Sektoren von dem Steuer-Bonus profitieren. Sven Anders erwartet in den USA 2026 ein Wirtchaftswachstum von über zwei Prozent.Die Zölle würden sich gar nicht so stark auf die US-Produktion auswirken weil die amerikanische Industrie ihre Vorprodukte zu einem großen Teil im Inland beziehe. Welche Sektoren @Sven_Anders derzeit interessant findet und wie J.P. Morgan Asset Management Aktien selektieren, das erzählt er in der aktuellen Folge der GELDMEISTERIN.

Von der RAND-Studie zur Nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie:Wie Think Tanks Amerikas Kriegspläne schreibenEin Standpunkt von Michael Hollister.Im November 2025 veröffentlichte die Trump-Administration ihre National Security Strategy. Drei Kernaussagen stechen heraus: Die EU ist nicht mehr verlässlicher Partner, Russland nicht mehr Hauptfeind, der strategische Fokus liegt nun auf dem Pazifik. Was wie eine geopolitische Kehrtwende wirkt, ist in Wahrheit die Umsetzung eines detaillierten Kriegsplans, den die RAND Corporation bereits 2016 vorgelegt hat.Die National Security Strategy 2025: Der Pazifik-Pivot als DoktrinDie im November 2025 veröffentlichte National Security Strategy (NSS) der Vereinigten Staaten markiert einen Wendepunkt in der amerikanischen Außenpolitik – zumindest auf dem Papier. Während die Trump-Administration Europa faktisch den Krieg erklärt und Russland nicht mehr als Hauptfeind definiert, konzentriert sich Washington nun offen auf das, was interne Strategiepapiere seit Jahren fordern: die Eindämmung Chinas im Indo-Pazifik. Die NSS formuliert glaskar:"Der Indo-Pazifik ist bereits die Quelle von fast der Hälfte des weltweiten BIP... Um im Inland erfolgreich zu sein, müssen wir dort erfolgreich konkurrieren." Weiter heißt es: "Die Abschreckung eines Konflikts um Taiwan, idealerweise durch die Aufrechterhaltung militärischer Überlegenheit, ist eine Priorität."Noch deutlicher wird die Strategie auf Seite 24:"Wir werden ein Militär aufbauen, das in der Lage ist, Aggression überall in der Ersten Inselkette zu verweigern."Diese Formulierungen sind nicht neu. Sie sind auch keine originäre Trump-Doktrin. Sie sind die wortwörtliche Umsetzung von Empfehlungen, die die RAND Corporation – eine der mächtigsten und einflussreichsten Denkfabriken der Welt – bereits 2016 und 2017 in mehreren Studien ausgearbeitet hat.RAND Corporation: Die Kriegsplanungszentrale mit akademischem AnstrichDie RAND Corporation ist kein gewöhnlicher Think Tank. Gegründet 1948 als gemeinsames Projekt der US Air Force und Douglas Aircraft Company, verfügt RAND über ein Jahresbudget von über 350 Millionen Dollar und beschäftigt ein Heer hochqualifizierter Experten: Militärstrategen, Physiker, Datenanalysten, Ökonomen und Politologen – viele mit Regierungs- oder Geheimdiensterfahrung.Hauptkunden sind das Pentagon, Homeland Security, verschiedene Geheimdienste sowie NATO-Partnerstaaten. RAND arbeitet nicht politisch neutral, sondern entwickelt "Optionen, Wahrscheinlichkeiten, Risiken" – auf Basis von Simulationen, Datenanalyse und militärischer Machbarkeitsprüfung. Empfehlungen aus RAND-Studien sind keine Denkmodelle, sondern werden regelmäßig zur Grundlage realer Politik.Die Organisation war maßgeblich an Konzepten wie der Abschreckungsdoktrin (Mutual Assured Destruction) beteiligt und prägte das strategische Denken im Kalten Krieg bis heute. RAND-Mathematiker wie Herman Kahn entwickelten die "Megadeath"-Kalkulationen – das zynische Durchrechnen von Millionen Toten als strategische Variable....https://apolut.net/wer-schreibt-amerikas-kriegsplane-von-michael-hollister/ Hosted on Acast.

This is the last in a series about possible futures, published in Booch News each week, starting with a Preview on October 3rd. Episode 11 appeared last week. Overview By 2100, the Earth hums with quiet vitality. Cities are green, breathable, and alive—literally. After the Climate Reckoning of the 2050s and the Fermentation Reformation that followed, humanity abandoned synthetic consumerism and rediscovered the wisdom of the microbial world. Artificial beverages—cola, beer, wine—became relics of the Carbon Age. People sought drinks that delivered tangible benefits: nourishing the microbiome, stabilizing mood, and sharpening cognition. Enter kombucha—the “living beverage,” a cornerstone of living systems. The Reformation’s legacy isn’t merely biological transformation—it’s cultural maturation: learning to work cooperatively with living systems, valuing local knowledge, building community infrastructure, maintaining honest assessment of capabilities, and recognizing that sustainable human thriving requires biological partnership rather than attempted domination. Humanity still faces continuing challenges: climate adaptation, resource management, social equity, political conflict, and planetary boundaries. Fermentation provides useful tools but not complete solutions. Humanity’s Partnership with Living Systems By 2100, humanity had learned crucial lessons about partnership with living systems. Fermentation taught that: Working with biology is often more effective than fighting it: Bacterial bioremediation, probiotic therapies, and closed-loop life support—all leverage natural processes rather than opposing them. Local diversity produces resilience: Decentralized fermentation cooperatives proved more adaptable than consolidated industrial food systems. Traditional knowledge contains valuable insights: Indigenous and traditional fermentation practices offered solutions that industrial approaches missed. Community infrastructure matters: Spaces for gathering and productive cooperation strengthen communities beyond what the consumption culture provides. Multiple approaches are necessary: Fermentation didn’t solve everything because no single practice can. Success required combining fermentation with policy reform, technological innovation, social justice work, and environmental restoration. Fermentation delivered measurable benefits: Improved public health through better nutrition Stronger communities through cooperative infrastructure Environmental benefits through local food production Cultural preservation through traditional knowledge Economic alternatives through cooperative ownership Educational frameworks through hands-on biology There are remaining challenges: Scaling benefits without losing local character Maintaining safety while enabling accessibility Supporting displaced industrial workers Balancing innovation with tradition Limiting commercial exploitation of the grassroots movement Addressing inequities in access and outcomes As the century closed, kombucha stood as both metaphor and method: proof that small, symbiotic systems could heal a planet pushed to the brink. Humanity had moved from extraction to participation, from ego-systems to ecosystems. The last generation of leaders—those raised during the chaos of the early 2000s—reflected on a hard-won truth: sustainability was not a policy but a practice of humility. The Great Rebalancing (2090–2100) The final decade before 2100 brought a reckoning—a rebalancing between people, planet, and profit. The kombucha industry, now deeply intertwined with global food, health, and climate systems, found itself both humbled and empowered. What began as a niche craft drink half a century earlier had become a symbol of regenerative commerce, microbial stewardship, and planetary renewal. The Century’s End By the 2090s, humanity had learned to live within limits. The population stabilized below nine billion. Carbon neutrality—once an abstract goal—was enforced globally through trade-linked carbon credits. Artificial intelligence governed not only production and logistics but also ecological thresholds: AI-run “planetary dashboards” warned when resources neared the threshold of overshooting. Kombucha—once merely a beverage—was now part of a symbiotic food network. Its microbial base served as a living substrate for nutritional pastes, medicinal tonics, and even biodegradable materials. SCOBY farms, floating on the world’s rewilded seas, generated both food and oxygen while sequestering carbon. The Kombucha Konfederation The seeds that were planted in 2025 with KBI's Verified Seal Program had by 2095, evolved into the Global Kombucha Konfederation. What was once a struggling network of small brewers had grown into a transnational cooperative representing over a billion daily consumers. Its “Code of Fermentation Ethics” guided microbial stewardship and regenerative practices across all continents. Economics of Regeneration By 2100, the measure of “growth” had changed. GDP had been replaced by the Regenerative Index—a metric that tracked ecosystem recovery, microbial diversity, and human well-being. Kombucha companies were central players: their microbial exports replenished soils, stabilized local economies, and improved nutrition without depleting resources. A kombucha SCOBY grown in Kenya could now be shipped digitally—its DNA code transmitted to a local bio-printer and activated with local nutrients. Trade was no longer about moving goods but sharing life itself. The Cosmic Ferment: Space, the Final Frontier Fermentation played a pivotal role in the colonization of extraterrestrial bodies, helping shape new planetary ecosystems and extending the themes of life, consciousness, and microbial cooperation out beyond Earth. By 2100, humanity’s reach extended into the solar system. Permanent research colonies existed on the Moon, thriving settlements dotted the Martian canyons, and orbiting bio-stations circled the gas giants. Yet amid all this technological triumph, one humble process—fermentation—had become indispensable to survival and meaning alike. Microbes had preceded humans into space. Now they accompanied them as partners, teachers, and planetary architects. The cosmonauts who stood at the threshold of the 22nd century included a terraformer, a kombucha-savvy starship captain, and an interplanetary ecologist. Terraforming Dr. Rafael Kimura, born in São Paulo in 2056, was a microbiologist with a poet’s soul. Half-Japanese, half-Brazilian, he grew up watching his parents brew miso and cachaça—two ancient ferments from opposite sides of the world. To him, fermentation was “the original terraforming technology.” In 2080, Rafael was appointed Director of the GaiaMars Project, a multinational effort to create self-sustaining microbial ecologies on Mars. Earlier missions had failed because they treated microbes as tools—simple agents of decomposition or nutrient cycling. Rafael saw them differently: as co-creators. Under his leadership, the project seeded Martian soil with adaptive, AI-guided microbial colonies derived from Earth’s most resilient ferments—kombucha SCOBYs, kimchi lactobacilli, kefir grains, and desert cyanobacteria. He cultivated resilient cyanobacterial genera such as Chroococcidiopsis (globally abundant in hot and cold deserts) and Phormidium (dominant in polar deserts), along with others including Scytonema, Nostoc, Gloeocapsa, and Oscillatoria. These microorganisms thrive in extreme heat, cold, and dryness, often living hypolithically (under quartz rocks) for UV protection or forming soil crusts that create the base of desert food webs. In other words, they were ideal for hostile environments like the Martian surface. He called them “symbiotic pioneers.” Rafael managed the project with pioneering intensity: “People imagine our bacterial systems are autonomous and intelligent. They’re not. We have post-doc microbiologists monitoring fermentation processes around the clock. When bacterial communities drift from optimal composition, we intervene. When contamination occurs, we troubleshoot. Biology is powerful but needs constant human management.” Within 20 years, these microecosystems transformed vast regions of Valles Marineris into breathable biomes. Thin, rust-colored soils turned to green moss beds; subterranean water ice became microbial broths teeming with oxygenic life. His motivation was both scientific and philosophical: “To make another planet live,” he said, “we must teach it to ferment.” By his death in 2109, Mars was no longer a sterile rock. It was alive—humming with microbial symphonies. Starship Systems Leila Zhang, born in Chengdu in 2064, was commander of Odyssey Station, an orbital habitat circling Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Originally trained as an aerospace engineer, she had also studied culinary biology, convinced that morale and meaning in deep space depended as much on taste as on technology. Under her leadership, Odyssey became the first off-Earth facility to maintain a closed-loop fermentation system—a living cycle where every human exhalation, waste product, and organic residue was metabolized by microbial partners into food, oxygen, and energy. At the heart of the system was Luna, a centuries-old kombucha mother descended from cultures brought aboard the International Space Station in the 2030s. Luna had been genetically and spiritually tended by generations of brewers. Leila called her “the ship’s soul.” Investigation into the value of fermentation in long-term space missions began in 2024 with the successful cultivation of miso on the International Space Station. They noted: Observations suggest unique features of the space environment—what we might call ‘space terroir’—which could be harnessed to create more flavorful, nourishing foods for long-term space missions and to address fundamental questions about the biology of novel environments. — Food Fermentation in Space Is Possible, Distinctive, and Beneficial Crew members drank Luna Brew daily—a tangy, faintly glowing beverage that recycled carbon dioxide into nourishment and mood-balancing compounds. Leila’s motivation was personal: her grandmother had been a kombucha maker in Sichuan, teaching her that “fermentation is patience made visible.” She saw Luna not as machinery but as kin. Her greatest fear was contamination—that a rogue mutation might destabilize the closed loop. But Luna thrived, evolving gracefully with each solar cycle. In her logbook, Leila wrote: “We are not alone in space. Our microbes are our ancestors, our companions, and our future.” Interplanetary Ecology Omar Nasr was born in Cairo in 2049, the child of desert farmers who practiced ancient fermentation to preserve milk and grain. As a young man, he witnessed the collapse of the Nile Delta under climate stress and vowed to study ecological restoration. By the 2080s, he had become chief ecological architect for the Interplanetary Colonization Council, designing microbial biomes for lunar domes, asteroid habitats, and Martian gardens. Omar’s breakthrough came when he realized that each colony’s microbial culture—its ferments, soils, and human microbiomes—formed a “planetary signature.” Colonies with balanced microbial diversity exhibited lower stress, higher cognitive function, and greater social cohesion. He coined the term “BioHarmony Index”—the measure of symbiotic health across worlds. Omar’s motivation was deeply spiritual. “Every planet,” he said, “has its own yeast.” His work united science and mysticism: microbial networks as threads of the cosmic fabric. His greatest challenge was political. Competing nations wanted to patent microbial designs for terraforming. Omar fought to preserve them as commons. His Universal Microbial Charter of 2087 declared that all interplanetary life forms are the shared heritage of the solar system. By 2100, thanks to Omar’s advocacy, microbial life flowed freely between colonies—in the form of ferments, seeds, and living culture exchanges that kept humanity connected across light-minutes of distance. The Ferment Beyond Earth As humans spread outward, so did the cultures they carried—kombucha, kefir, tempeh, natto, sourdough, and new creations born in zero gravity. Each space colony developed its own microbial symphony, tuned to its atmosphere and inhabitants. Fermentation became the foundation of extraterrestrial ecology—producing oxygen, nutrients, and emotional well-being. In the silent vacuum of the cosmos, the gentle bubbling of fermentation tanks became the heartbeat of life. Yet beyond the practical lay the profound: on every world humans touched, microbes whispered their ancient message—that life is not a conquest of matter but a communion of being. By 2100, kombucha brewers on Earth toasted with their Martian and lunar kin through holographic “Ferment Feasts,” sharing flavors brewed across light-years and for parsecs into the future. The galaxy, once cold and empty, now shimmered with living effervescence. The universe, it seemed, was fermenting itself into consciousness. Summary: 2100 — The Age of Living Beverages By the year 2100, kombucha had transformed human civilization. From fermentation to foundation, from drink to doctrine—kombucha’s long journey had come full circle. The year 2100 witnessed a world transformed. Humanity had at last reconciled itself with the biosphere. Coastal cities once drowned by rising seas were now floating biocultures—living reefs made of cellulose and kelp, home to millions who harvested sunlight, saltwater, and SCOBY membranes for sustenance. Inland, forests had returned. Mycelial networks thrived beneath the soil, and atmospheric carbon was on track to drop below pre-industrial levels. Life—microbial, human, and machine—was symbiotic by design. Every person alive knew the taste of kombucha—not as a brand or product but as a living ritual. The brew had become as universal as bread once was, yet infinitely more personal. Each batch told the story of a local climate, a community’s microbes, and the care of its brewers. A Universal Daily Prayer was offered: Our SCOBY, which art fermenting,Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done, on Earth as it is on Mars.Give us this day, our daily ‘boochAnd balance our pH, as we balance others.Lead us into fermentation, and deliver us from contamination,For thine is the bacteria, the microbes, and the yeast, symbiotically,For ever and ever.Amen. By 2100, the word kombucha no longer described a drink at all—it meant symbiosis. Children learned it in their first biology lessons: “Kombucha is a partnership of beings for mutual thriving.” Its philosophy shaped every aspect of life: governance (through symbiotic councils), technology (bio-coded rather than silicon-based), and even art (living installations that pulsed, breathed, and regenerated). Fermentation had become the metaphor for civilization—slow, transformative, and alive. The old kombucha pioneers—those small craft brewers of the early 2000s who had struggled to explain their cloudy bottles to skeptical consumers—were now honored as ancestors. In Vallejo, Berlin, Seoul, and Nairobi, fermentation schools bore their names. Holographic exhibits replayed their humble workshops, their mason jars and stainless-steel vats, their laughter and frustration. What they began as a grassroots act of care had evolved into a planetary operating system. In their honor, the Fermenters’ Equinox was celebrated each year—a global day of silence, brewing, and renewal. For twenty-four hours, production ceased. Humanity listened, quite literally, to the hum of the microbes—the sound of life in process. This will be our fermented future. Epilogue: A Message to Today’s Brewers To the readers of Booch News: When this journey began, kombucha was still a niche drink—something found in farmers’ markets, yoga studios, and coolers in the back of natural food stores. Most people couldn’t pronounce it, let alone explain the SCOBY. Breweries were small, margins were thin, and public understanding was limited to “a fizzy, vinegary tea that’s good for you.” And yet, beneath that modest surface, something profound was already fermenting. Each of you—today’s brewers, innovators, distributors, educators, and enthusiasts—is not merely selling a beverage. You are part of a quiet revolution in how humanity relates to life itself. The microbial world you nurture is ancient, generous, and wise. It reminds us that creation is cooperative, not competitive; that resilience comes from diversity; that change, though sometimes messy, leads to transformation. When we imagine kombucha in 2100, we’re really asking: what kind of relationship will we have with the living world? Will we continue to extract, process, and discard—or will we learn, as brewers do, to feed and be fed by the same cycles that sustain all existence? The future described in these episodes—of floating SCOBY farms, living cities, microbial charters, and global fermentation commons—is not prophecy. It’s possibility. And every small act you take today brings it closer. Every local brew you craft, every story you tell a customer, every connection you make between ancient fermentation and modern wellness—these are the seeds of a living civilization. When historians look back from 2100, they may see you—the brewers of the mid twenty-first century—as the ones who kept the flame alive during a time of industrial excess. You modeled a different path: one of patience, transparency, and care. You demonstrated that business could be regenerative, that flavor could carry ethics, and that microbes could heal both body and planet. So, to every reader of Booch News: keep fermenting. Keep innovating. Keep sharing. The world of 2100 begins with the jars, vats, and hearts of those brewing here in 2025. Let it be alive. Disclaimer This is a work of speculative fiction.

Hello Interactors,Spain's high-speed trains feels like a totally different trajectory of modernity. America prides itself on being the tech innovator, but nowhere can we blast 180 MPH between city centers with seamless transfers to metros and buses…and no TSA drudgery. But look closer and the familiar comes into view — rising car ownership, rush-hour congestion (except in Valencia!), and growth patterns that echo America. I wanted to follow these parallel tracks back to the nineteenth-century U.S. rail boom and forward to Spain's high-spe ed era. Turns out it's not just about who gets faster rail or faster freeways, but what kind of growth they lock in once they arrive.TRAINS, CITIES, AND CONTRADICTIONSMy wife and I took high-speed rail (HSR) on our recent trip to Spain. My first thought was, “Why can't we have nice things?”They're everywhere.Madrid to Barcelona in two and a half hours. Barcelona to Valencia, Valencia back to Madrid. Later, Porto to Lisbon. Even Portugal is in on it. We glided out of city-center stations, slipped past housing blocks and industrial belts, then settled into the familiar grain of Mediterranean countryside at 300 kilometers an hour. The Wi-Fi (mostly) worked. The seats were comfortable. No annoying TSA.Where HSR did not exist or didn't quite fit our schedule, we filled gaps with EasyJet flights. We did rent a car to seek the 100-foot waves at Nazaré, Portugal, only to be punished by the crawl of Porto's rush-hour traffic in a downpour. Within cities, we took metros, commuter trains, trams, buses, bike share, and walked…a lot.From the perspective of a sustainable transportation advocate, we were treated to the complete “nice things” package: fast trains between cities, frequent rail and bus service inside them, and streets catering to human bodies more than SUVs. What surprised me, though, was the way these nice things coexist with growth patterns that look — in structural terms — uncomfortably familiar.In this video

Die deutsche Chemieindustrie schlägt Alarm: Hohe Energiepreise, schrumpfende Auslandsnachfrage und strukturelle Standortprobleme setzen der Branche massiv zu – und stehen sinnbildlich für die Krise der gesamten deutschen Industrie. „Die deutsche Chemie taumelt dem Jahresende entgegen, die Auftragsbücher sind im Inland und im Ausland leer“, sagte der Geschäftsführer des Verbandes der Chemischen Industrie (VCI), Wolfgang Große Entrup, in diesen Tagen. Die Chemieindustrie sei wieder auf dem geschäftlichen Niveau von 1995 angelangt. Der Verbandschef fürchtet einen „Knockout“ für die Branche. „Was wir jetzt verlieren, wird nicht mehr wiederkommen“, sagt Große Entrup.Doch es ist nicht allein die Chemieindustrie. Laut der Konjunkturumfrage des Münchner ifo Instituts vom Oktober 2025 rutscht die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen Industrie auf einen neuen Tiefpunkt. Anhand der neuesten Zahlen des VCI ordnet Daniel Stelter die aktuelle Lage ein und zeigt, warum Deutschland im internationalen Wettbewerb weiter an Boden verliert. Überraschen darf das nicht, Warnrufe gab es genügend. Besonders prominent war der von Matthias Zachert, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Lanxess AG, eines im M-DAX notierten Spezialchemiekonzerns mit Hauptsitz in Köln. Bereits im September 2022 warnte er in Episode #155 eindringlich: Deutschland droht der K. o. Und erklärte, warum hohe Kosten, regulatorische Eingriffe und energiepolitische Fehlentscheidungen zentrale Wertschöpfungsketten gefährden – und was passieren muss, damit Unternehmen hierzulande wieder investieren.

NED HEADS! In this episode we dive into a whirlwind of laughter, chaos, and heartfelt reflection. We kick things off with a wild story about food poisoning, oysters, and a brutal run-in with norovirus during a trip to Amsterdam. We unpack the creative highs and lows of filmmaking abroad, the unpredictable madness of travel (including a cheeky roast of Aer Lingus), and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with balancing art, health, and self-care. Along the way, we touch on motorcycles, grief, music, and the importance of taking a breath—because whether it's food poisoning or life itself, survival takes humor, heart, and a few good friends.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, hosts Mark Holthe and Alicia Backman-Beharry shine a light on one of the most overlooked pathways to staying in Canada: the open work permit for spouses and dependent children of permanent residence sponsorship applicants. They clarify who qualifies, how the process differs for in-Canada vs. Family Class applications, and how to avoid costly mistakes. With processing delays, stricter rules, and fewer temporary pathways, this episode is essential for couples navigating the PR journey. Key Topics Discussed Who's Eligible: Only spouses and dependent children included in a PR sponsorship (not PGWP holders or student spouses). Inland vs. Outland Sponsorship: Family Class applicants can now apply for open work permits too—without losing the right to appeal or travel. Processing Times & AOR: You generally need an Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) to apply—but there's a two-week grace rule if your status is expiring. How to Apply Properly: Must apply online through IRCC's portal with correct job codes and supporting documents—no flagpoling or border apps allowed. Out-of-Status Pathway: A slower paper-based route exists for applicants with no valid status, but only after getting approval in principle. Key Takeaways A valid PR sponsorship with AOR unlocks the open work permit. Don't wait—timing and document accuracy are critical. Even Family Class sponsors in Canada may qualify. Seek legal help to avoid costly delays or misrepresentation. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe:“If you don't follow the instructions, the processing times are so long that if something goes wrong, you're probably landing in a really tough spot.” Alicia Backman-Beharry:“You only have a two-week window. This is why I wanted to bring attention to this category—it can make a huge difference in people's lives.” Links and Resources Watch this episode on YouTube Canadian Immigration Podcast Book a consult Enroll in the Express Entry Accelerator and Masterclass Subscribe for MoreStay up-to-date with the latest in Canadian immigration by subscribing to the Canadian Immigration Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube.
