Prepare for more price rises. Data due out tomorrow is expected to show the inflation rate has risen again, from 2.2% to about 2.4%. One contributing factor is food price inflation, which is now back up at 3.5%. Vegetables New Zealand Chair John Murphy told Ryan Bridge that while fresh produce prices have fallen in the past 12 months, that trend isn't likely to continue. He doesn't see them coming down any further, and they could well go up. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With tariffs back in the spotlight, what's their real impact on trade, business, and jobs? Are they a necessary tool for protecting American industry, or do they do more harm than good?This week, host Matt Kirchner sits down with John Murphy, Senior Vice President, Head of International for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to break down the complex world of tariffs and trade policy. With decades of experience in global trade, John sheds light on the history, purpose, and unintended consequences of tariffs.From manufacturing to agriculture, tariffs have ripple effects across industries, supply chains, and even the workforce. Who really pays the price when tariffs are imposed? How do they shape innovation and investment in the U.S.? And with shifting political winds in early 2025, is the U.S. moving toward a more protectionist future?This conversation tackles these pressing questions while exploring what business leaders, policymakers, and even students should consider as they navigate the evolving trade landscape.Listen to learn:How tariffs impact American manufacturing and the six million jobs tied to exportsThe surprising truth about who actually pays tariffs—and how they drive up costsWhen tariffs become a tool for political leverage rather than economic policyWhy protectionism can stifle innovation instead of promoting domestic industriesWhat today's trade policies mean for the next generation of skilled workersResources in this Episode:Learn more about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: www.uschamber.comOther resources mentioned in this episode:From The Wall Street Journal: "The New Plan for Western Companies Is ABC: ‘Anything But China'"Learn more about the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment IndexWe want to hear from you!

[School of Everything Else 2025] All the way back in 2017 I put together an absolutely EPIC musical journey through the first eight years of the MCU, from Iron Man all the way up to Doctor Strange. So much time has passed since then (cue many gifs of Matt Damon drinking from the wrong Grail) and Marvel has not followed my sound advice about allowing each hero (and maybe a villain or two) to retain a theme that reprises with every subsequent appearance. However, that does not mean there haven't been some truly excellent scores composed, which got side-lined in the clickbaity rush to pronounce Marvel as being formulaic, failing or indeed signifying the baleful death of film. Here for you now is a compendium of themes and sonic explorations as Phase 3 draws to its epic conclusion and Phases 4 and 5 wend their way from the small screen to the big and back again. I look forward to a third volume of these shows sometime in the early 2030s, when the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Secret Wars and whatever happens with Spider-Man and whatever inevitable soft reboot brings us to a new era of superhero cinema. 1.

Spring is in the air and it feels like the season is finally starting to click into gear and for many salmon anglers you'll be thinking of trips to book and plans to make. But one of the big issues affecting wild salmon and sea trout numbers is the presence of salmon farms in some of the most pristine locations around our Atlantic coast. The issue of salmon farming is something we continually cover on this podcast and for this week's episode we catch up with John Murphy from Salmon Watch Ireland to find out about updated legislation that means salmon farms are having to renew their licences. This also means it's a time for action and opposition to these renewal applications and John Murphy tells us what can be done to counter the increasing threat of salmon farms to the environment and our wild fish.

Welcome to the LIVING FOR THE BOYLE review series! Daniel Francis Boyle originally hailed from Manchester, England and his filmmaking career took off thirty years ago in 1995 with the release of acclaimed cult thriller Shallow Grave. And ever since then, Danny Boyle (as he's officially known) has carved out a uniquely successful career not only achieving box office success several times but also winning a few Oscars along the way. During this time period, he has also become one of MY personal favorite directors, having helmed excellent ORIGINAL stories spanning several genres including children's fantasy, science fiction, crime drama, horror, and biopic. Over the next few months, I will be reviewing some of my favorite entries from his filmography in the lead-up to the long-awaited sequel to one of his more successful films….28 Years Later which will be released in the U.S. on June 20!It's the future, our sun is dying, and we have a crew of relatable scientists and astronauts on a mission to get to the Sun and re-ignite it so that our planet doesn't freeze. The crew of the Icarus II includes a physicist (Oscar-Winner Cillian Murphy), a horticulturalist (Oscar-Winner Michelle Yeoh), an engineer (Chris Evans), a navigator (Rose Byrne), a sun-drenched psychologist (Cliff Curtis) and is lead by fearless Captain Kaneda (Emmy-Winner Hiroyuki Sanada). This space adventure received strong reviews back in 2007 but sadly never received much of a theatrical release and was a box office bomb. However since then, it has developed a solid cult following not the least of which is due to its iconic score from composer John Murphy. Let's find out if this crew travels too close to the sun....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The Government is being urged to make healthy national food supply a priority. Growers can currently only farm vegetables with consent from regional authorities and want changes as part of resource management reform. Horticulture NZ says without urgent change to this, the country risks losing a significant portion of its homegrown food supply by 2030. Vegetables NZ Chair John Murphy told Mike Hosking that growers in key areas such as Horowhenua face the real prospect of overzealous local authority officials pulling up the driveway and telling them not to grow there anymore. He says the burden of regulation is massive here. “You heard the Prime Minister talk about barnacles on the boat slowing us down earlier in the week ... this isn't a barnacle on the boat slowing us down, this is a hole in the boat.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Coca Cola obtuvo el martes unos resultados mejores de lo esperado. La compañía del refresco más famoso superó las estimaciones del mercado y de los analistas, con ingresos de 11.544 millones de dólares cuando estos preveían que llegarían a los 10.680 millones. Punto positivo también para su BPA, de 51 centavos, 5 más que el consenso de los expertos y para su beneficio neto, donde han superado los 2100 millones de dólares, un 11% más que en el mismo periodo anterior. Gracias a todo esto sus acciones subieron hasta los 67,46 dólares, su punto más alto desde octubre. A pesar de la venta de algunos activos relacionados con las embotelladoras, sobre todo en India, donde ganaron 293 millones de dólares, Coca-Cola ha sufrido negativamente la renovación de estas plantas. De hecho, la ‘megaembotelladora' europacífica Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, cuyo presidenta es la española Sol Daurella, ganó un 21 % menos que el año pasado. Coca Cola además viene de un año marcado por grandes cambios como el fin de la colaboración con Nestlé de la bebida Nestea. Más de 30 años de relación, que desembocaron en la separación de estos dos gigantes de la alimentación. Ahora van por separado y Coca Cola ha sacado su propia bebida Fuze Tea. Nestlé ahora colaborará con Estrella Damm para seguir produciendo Nestea en nuestro país. Coca-Cola Company fue fundada en 1886 por el farmacéutico John Stith Pemberton. Al principio era vendida como medicina pero poco después estaba ya en los estantes de los comercios. Solo siete años después el también farmacéutico Caleb Dpeneavis Bradham inventó la Pepsi Cola. Una de las claves para entender la rivalidad entre estas dos marcas ha sido la publicidad comparativa. De cara a 2025, John Murphy dijo en la conferencia para inversores que “esperan un crecimiento orgánico de los ingresos de entre el 5% y el 6% y un crecimiento del beneficio por acción comparable neutro en divisas de entre el 8% y el 10%, lo que refleja la consecución del extremo superior de su algoritmo de crecimiento a largo plazo”.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a handy tool to help you find prospects, but if you're not using it right, you won't be able to target the ones who have the say in closing a deal. How can you learn to use it to get in touch with C-suite executives? Find out in this episode with my guests Mike and John Murphy, the father-and-son duo of Text Tonality, and learn their three-step strategy for using LinkedIn. Where Did Their Passion for LinkedIn Come From? After struggling to find new clients, John turned to his son Mike for help. Mike had a unique strategy that helped his father find high-stakes clients in no time. Thanks to Mike's method, he and his father are now the proud owners of Text Tonality. Understanding What Filters Are When you first use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you'll notice the many different filters within the tool. Mike noticed that people usually use the filters incorrectly in two different ways: either using too many or not enough filters. There are a certain number of filters you can use to help you find the right clients. If you DM Mike, he gives you the code to his free training to help you learn this trick. What To Say to C-Suite Executives When You Find Them John shares that to get your message out correctly, you first have to position yourself in front of them. They have to see how you can help them with their problem. If you can't get them to see this, then they're not going to spend 30 minutes on the phone with you. Start with the big problem they have to intrigue them with a solution. Sending LinkedIn Messages Without Spamming John and Mike share that it's best not to send messages within LinkedIn connections. They share how sending Text Tonality messages works better after waiting a day after sending a connection request. Mike also shares how probing can help get prospects to speak to you more after they say no thank you to your first message. If you're struggling with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, consider working with John and Mike at Text Tonality to learn more of their secrets. “Don't be afraid to follow up. People won't get mad at you. They don't mind as long as you do it right." - John Murphy. "You want to think about how there is an element of numbers to this. A key performance indicator that we look for is a 25% acceptance rate, which means I'm targeting the right people and my profile is resonating." - Mike Murphy.

Kate Adie introduces stories on Syria, Myanmar, Ivory Coast, the Russian Orthodox church and Tunisia.The threat of being 'disappeared' was central to Bashar al Assad's system of repression and intimidation. Now he is gone, Syrian families want to know what happened to their loved ones. Yogita Limaye met people who've been searching for relatives for years – and who have discovered likely clues at a hospital morgue.BBC Eye has been investigating the role of moles in Myanmar's military - soldiers sharing intelligence with pro-democracy groups. These moles have helped the advance of rebel groups and the balance of power is now shifting, with the military now controlling less than a quarter of the country. Rebecca Henschke tells the story of the 'watermelon spies' - military green on the outside, rebel red on the inside.Chocolate has been one product that has notably suffered from 'shrinkflation' - rising in cost, and shrinking in size. This is in part due to the spiraling cost of cocoa - but not everyone involved in its cultivation is getting rich, as John Murphy discovered when he met farmers in Ivory Coast.The war in Ukraine has been sanctified by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow - head of the Russian Orthodox Church. He's even said Russian soldiers who die on the battlefield will be washed of their sins - but not everyone in the church agrees with this stance. Lucy Ash catches up with one priest risking punishment for speaking out.Tunisia recently hosted the World Morse Code championship – a fiendishly competitive tournament, in which participants are challenged to accurately receive, copy and send coded transmissions as fast as possible. Monica Whitlock went to watch the competitors in action.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production coordinator: Katie Morrison and Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith
It's frustrating when your LinkedIn messages just aren't getting the response you hoped for. Generic outreach can feel impersonal, and it's easy to see why people ignore them—there's just too much of it. Crafting a message that stands out takes more than just sending a quick note; it's about being genuine and offering value right from the start. A thoughtful, targeted approach can make all the difference in turning those ignored messages into meaningful conversations. Mike and John Murphy are the father-son duo behind TextTonality, a proprietary messaging method that has generated over $900 million in new business for their clients in financial services, investment funds, and B2B consulting. Mike, a former journalist and startup marketer, developed the TextTonality approach after struggling with ineffective cold outreach on LinkedIn. Joined by his sales expert father John, the two have helped hundreds of clients, including a Merrill Lynch advisor who closed a $113 million deal using their system. Today, Mike and John share their insights on using LinkedIn to generate leads and book meetings with ideal clients. Stay tuned!

Originally issued September 15th, 2023In this episode, I talk with Nikolas Schreck about his initiatory journey and what he learned among the way. It is a fascinating discussion that I think finishes with some profound thoughts and comments. Along the way, we also discuss music and the divine feminine.Acclaimed by Austria‘s Evolver magazine as “already a legend in his lifetime‘‘, singer-songwriter, author and film-maker Nikolas Schreck's initiatory application of music, ritual and theater formally began in 1984 when he returned to the West from a life-changing spiritual pilgrimage in Egypt to found the shapeshifting musical ensemble Radio Werewolf, a nine-year sonic magic operation which concluded in 1993. After pioneering early Los Angeles Gothic and deathrock with the band's first incarnation, Radio Werewolf's European phase was hailed by Christopher Walton of the band Endura for “simultaneously pre-empting and giving birth to the dark-ambient and ritual-industrial scene of the 1990's.” Before embarking on his current solo career, Schreck has previously collaborated musically with Zeena, John Murphy, Kingdom of Heaven and Sir Christopher Lee, whose first album he produced.Schreck's books include The Manson File: Myth & Reality of an Outlaw Shaman, Demons of the Flesh: The Complete Guide to Left-Hand Path Sex Magic (written with Zeena Schreck), The Satanic Screen, and Flowers from Hell. He is the director of the 1989 documentary Charles Manson Superstar, and has appeared in several films, including Mortuary Academy and Usher. His album The Illusionist was released in August 2019 on the Records Ad Nauseam, his albums and EPs Berlin Noir, O A Weird Flower, SCHRECK 2020: I'm Afraid of America and The Futura Model are available on BandcampNikolas can be found on Facebook, Instagram and other social media outlets.He is also on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolas_Schreck.His music is available on outlets like Spotify and Bandcamp.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-magical-world-of-g-michael-vasey--4432257/support.

[School of Movies 2024] This is an exceptionally long-awaited episode for us. One of the very first films discussed on our very first episode, way back in April 2007, mentioned repeatedly in the intervening 17 years, and promised over and over. Now we finally reach it, one of the most special and meaningful films to us. It was directed by Danny Boyle after 28 Days later but before Slumdog Millionaire. It very overtly draws inspiration from Aliens and 2001, it stars Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Hiroyuki Sanada Cliff Curtis, Benedict Wong and Mark Strong. It was written by Alex Garland, scored by John Murphy and Underworld, it made one twentieth the box office of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. ...and it is quite literally BRILLIANT.
Ever since his experience as a Kit Carson Trek participant in 1972 and working on staff as a Ranger, John has looked for ways to give back to Philmont Scout Ranch. He's done so via his time and dedication to the Philmont Staff Association as the VP of Development and President. John is also a current Ranch Committee member on the facilities task force. Lastly - he remains an active member of his local East Texas Area council.

The challenges of Fall fishing Tonight's show run down Fishing Reports 15m Hatcher Bros Erin (@femboyfishing) and Michael (@srien_string_and_stream) are catching smallies and trout and the occasional walleye in the Ozarks Steve NcAngler says trout season is over in The White Mountains but one can still dredge up some nice browns in the catch and release section of the Androscoggin. He's catching bass these days on Sneaky Pete's (topwater bullet head popper with a flared skirt and trailing sili strands) and for subsurface he likes Dragon Tails (a tail material called sili worm behind a built up head, originally cut down “Squirmy” toys) The Driftless-some streams closed for the Fall spawn but plenty of creeks are open to catch and release and the tourists have gone home. Fishing is solitary and they're smashing the terrestrials, some drys and streamers. https://news.orvis.com/fly-fishing/seasons-of-the-driftless-area Joe Henry Fishing at Lake of the Woods is on fire!!! 6m FITN 10min John Gierach passed from a heart attack October 3rd 2024 Apache Trout Success: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-haaland-announces-removal-apache-trout-arizonas-state-fish-endangered Maine Bans Painted Heads: https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/life/animals/wildlife/new-law-expands-maines-lead-fishing-tackle-ban-protect-loons/97-61c87bb3-687c-4610-839a-2ce5eb8fb7fa Laura Williams Maine Audubon Society 30 min Show pt. 2 Halloween Scary Fish: 15-20 min Zombie Salmon-Yes they are catchable, some fight some do not, the scariest thing i have ever felt sorry for short of Frankenstien.

It has never been confirmed. In 1997 one was removed from a man's urethra but the circumstances were “suspect” which is a story just made for Fish Nerds. Stonefish-this one scared the heck out of me when I was a little kid. The most venomous fish of all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanceia https://www.surfertoday.com/environment/how-to-treat-a-stonefish-sting other entries: The Kraken Angler Fish Goblin Shark My FAVORITE from Steve NcAngler is “the fish you hooked but never saw.” It could have been anything! Listener spooky stories and other fisher freak outs: 15-20min 62% of respondents have had a weird or spooky incident on the water. 25% said it started scary but turned out to be something ordinary CH and the turtle Chris Snodgrass My Wife and I were trolling for Kokanee Salmon. It was just before dark and we had the only boat on the water. It's a small reservoir in Montana. The water was like glass it was so calm. As we got out to the middle the water swirled next to the boat like a whale turned next to us. The swirl was as big or bigger than our boat. It was extremely creepy so we headed to the dock! Still not sure what the swirl was caused by but maybe an under water spring... It was in 50' of water though. Alan Dumitrescu I'm the only person at this lake. You know the sound of a rod wishing through the air on a hard cast? Yeah that sounds happened in the wooded area behind me just once like a cast. Only similar sounds I've ever heard is bigger birds wings. I looked no birds anywhere no turkeys roosting in trees for the night. The sun was setting at this point. I didn't see anything but it was real close. My only other thought cause a bunch of neighboring property dogs were all fired up a few minutes earlier and they had settled down just before I heard it. Never heard bobcat hiss in person but at that point since they are in that area is all I could think and why the dogs were fired up. So I hurried the hell out of there. I'm not tangling with big kitty if that's what it was. John J Murphy Well I grew up in Salem Ma and used to fish a cemetery pond so I'd go with yes Phantom Casters From Rick Webster I was fishing the first beach at Sandy Hook in Jersey one late September. When I got to the parking lot and not another car in sight. I set up, soaking clams on two rods before sun-up. As the pre-dawn light began to show over the horizon, a THICK bank of fog rolled in. Slack tide and zero wind…very peaceful but not expecting anything spectacular. Suddenly, about 500 seagulls that had been resting on the roof of the bath house lifted into the air and began to dive nosily into the surf. The fog was so thick I couldn't see them, but I could hear them, not 20 yards off the beach. Figuring a blitz of snappers, I sent a 3-ounce Yo-Zuri popper into the fog and immediately came tight on what turned out to be a 12lb Albie. As I was fighting this fish, the fog began to lift and I could see I was surrounded by 25 to 30 other surfcasters. I had no clue how they suddenly appeared as this stretch of beach is wide open, so I would have seen them before the fog came in. No one spoke and the only sounds were screaming gulls and drags as we all enjoyed a rare mix of blues and albies for the next 30 minutes in a classic fall blitz. As the action died down, the fog rolled in again and I appeared to be all alone again. Since I was tired and a little spooked by the mornings events, I packed up my gear and headed back to the parking lot. Just like when I arrived, mine was the only car there. I have no idea where the other fishermen came from or how they disappeared and to this day, I'm not entirely convinced they were actually there. https://onthewater.com/spooky-fishing-stories Aliens prefer fishers: Pascagoula UFO Abduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction See Entry 12: https://skepticalinquirer.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/03/SI-MJ-12.pdf Charles Hickson 42 Calvin Parker 19 Went fishing on the Pascagoula River Mississippi October 11th 1973 On the evening of October 11, 1973, 42-year old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker went fishing on the west bank of the Pascagoula River. As dusk fell, they heard a whirring/whizzing sound and saw flashes of blue light on the water. They looked up to see an oval-shaped object approximately 30-40 feet across and 8-10 feet high. Three creatures came gliding out of the craft and took them aboard. Completely paralyzed but still conscious, the two men were subjected to a medical exam by a giant robotic eye. They were then returned to shore, and the craft sped away into the night sky. Both changed their stories over time. Parker said he passed out but later claimed to remember certain details. Hickson kept altering his story. The original polygraph on Hickson was given by an untrained operator as part of a commercial deal and there is speculation that it never really took place. Drinking was believed to be part of the incident. Hypnagogic dream paroxysmal sleep-related disorder incubus syndrome both fall in the category of parasominias Still one of the best UFO stories out there.

From the journey from cocoa to chocolate in Ivory Coast. The price of cocoa - the essential ingredient in chocolate - has more than quadrupled on the international market in the last two years. Yet many of those growing it have not benefitted. In fact, drought, disease and a lack of investment have led to catastrophic harvests and, therefore, a drop in income for many small producers of cocoa, especially in Ivory Coast. This West African country is the world's largest producer of cocoa - up to 45% of the world's total. Most of the growers are small-scale, poor farmers. There are now calls for these growers to get a bigger chunk of the chocolate bar and, in so doing, to help ensure future production. John Murphy travels to Ivory Coast to delve into the world of chocolate production.
