Andy shares how Data Fetcher makes it simple to connect Airtable with your popular platforms, automatically update dashboards, and streamline reporting.

There's just over one week until Climate Week NYC begins Sept. 21, and we're diving into what to expect from the conference in a volatile year for climate action in the US.   The week includes more than 900 events across the city hosted by a range of organizations — including The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast will again be an official media partner. Register free to attend here.    In today's episode, we're talking with Britton Jones, Founder and CEO of The Nest Climate Campus. He discusses topics that will be in focus during Climate Week NYC and how the climate landscape has evolved this year.  "There's a real emphasis on substance coming into Climate Week 2025,” Britton says.  Launched in 2009, Climate Week NYC convenes business leaders at the same time that government leaders and NGOs are in New York City for UN General Assembly meetings. This means many decisionmakers from the public and private sectors are in town at a key moment, just two months before the UN's annual Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as COP. This year, COP30 will take place in Brazil Nov. 10-21.  You can learn more about the event S&P Global will host at Climate Week NYC on Wednesday, Sept. 24, here: Climate Week NYC | S&P Global  Check out cohost Lindsey Hall's appearance on the Look Forward podcast from S&P Global: Look Forward | Episode 8: Confronting Climate Challenges | S&P Global  And listen to our interview with the CEO of two major investor networks in Asia-Pacific representing trillions of dollars of assets under management globally — the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC): CEO of major Asia-Pacific investor networks: ‘Climate risk is investment risk' | S&P Global  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.     Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER    By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

JPMorgan Chase eventually launched an internal investigation into its long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after mounting scrutiny revealed the bank had processed vast sums of money for him, even after his 2008 conviction. The probe aimed to uncover how Epstein was able to remain a client for so long despite obvious red flags and repeated compliance warnings. Investigators dug into years of transactions, compliance reports, and internal communications to determine whether executives ignored or downplayed concerns in order to keep Epstein's lucrative business. The review sought to assess accountability at multiple levels within the bank and to explain why his accounts were maintained until 2013, well after his public fall from grace.The internal investigation was as much about damage control as it was about fact-finding. JPMorgan faced lawsuits and regulatory pressure accusing the bank of enabling Epstein's trafficking operation by looking the other way while moving more than a billion dollars through its accounts. The bank's probe attempted to show that corrective action was being taken, but it also exposed embarrassing lapses in oversight and judgment at the highest levels of management. Critics argued the inquiry was designed to shield leadership while scapegoating lower-level compliance staff, but it ultimately reinforced a damning narrative: that one of the world's largest financial institutions knowingly did business with a convicted predator because the profits outweighed the risks.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan report found exec invited Epstein to meetings with foreign government officials | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On 28 September 1923, a new magazine hit news-stands.   The Radio Times was a BBC publication, born out of a listings ban seven months earlier, when the press tried to charge the Beeb advertising rates to print what was on. The BBC's General Manager John Reith saw an opportunity: they'd just print their own.   We previously (on episodes 75 and 76) brought you the history of the Radio Times for its centenary, but as our moment-by-moment timeline of British broadcasting finally reaches September 1923, we just had to zoom in a little further on issue number one.   So join us for a look at the first listings, the first letter (a listener from Spain!), ads including headphones and - oddly - height-lengthening, the first cartoon (about listening to the wireless en masse in a village hall), plus listeners complaints mourning the “murder” of composer Tannhauser at the hands of the London Wireless Orchestra. Everyone's a critic…   Our guests include Radio Times editor Shem Law, Radio Times collector Dr Steve Arnold, Radio 4's Justin Webb and Dr Martin Cooper author of Radio's Legacy in Popular Culture.    SHOWNOTES: Original music is by Will Farmer.  Books referred to include Those Radio Times by Susan Briggs and The Radio Times Cover Story by Tony Currie.

President Xi Jinping has urged rural teachers to enhance their teaching skills and nurture more capable young people with sound moral grounding, intellectual ability, physical vigor, aesthetic sensibility and work skills needed to join and carry on the socialist cause.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent his greetings to teachers and educators across the country ahead of the 41st Teachers' Day, which falls on Wednesday.In a reply letter to eight rural teachers who participated in the special-post teacher recruitment program, Xi said that many teachers involved in the program have actively devoted themselves to rural education. Rooted in their posts, they have dedicated their efforts to teaching with diligence and selfless commitment, demonstrating the profound sense of mission and responsibility of educators, he said.Xi emphasized that teachers are the foundation of education. He expressed the hope that educators will remain true to their original aspiration, continuously improve their teaching capabilities, and guide students with care and affection to ensure their healthy growth.Premier Li Qiang also made an instruction on the program. Li said that educators in the country should fully implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue and holistic development through education and teach in places where the motherland and the people need them the most, contributing more to building a leading country in education.Launched in 2006, the special-post teacher recruitment program is a central government-funded initiative aimed at recruiting college graduates to teach in rural primary and middle schools across China's central and western regions. Since its implementation, the program has employed a total of 1.18 million teachers, covering more than 30,000 rural schools in over 1,000 counties across 22 provincial-level regions.In their letter to Xi, eight representatives of the program reported on their experience working at the forefront of rural education, and reiterated their determination to stay committed to their mission and continue teaching in rural areas.China has adopted several other initiatives to promote rural education.In 2021, the "Outstanding Teachers Program" was launched to cultivate 10,000 teachers annually to serve high schools in the once-impoverished counties, as well as border counties, in the central and western regions.Policies aimed at improving teachers' livelihoods, including annual subsidies, salary hikes and the construction of dormitories, have made rural teaching more sustainable. As of last year, 76.23 percent of rural teachers held a bachelor's degree or higher, a dramatic increase compared with a decade ago.Ma Hongbing, deputy director of the Finance Ministry's Department of Science, Education and Culture, said the central government has invested 45 billion yuan ($6.3 billion) in the past five years to hire and train more high-quality teachers in the central and western regions.Liu Xiantao, a teacher in Zunyi, Guizhou province, who celebrated his 23rd birthday on Tuesday, said he became interested in the profession of teaching as a young boy because Teachers' Day falls right after his birthday.Liu, who recently earned a bachelor's degree in history from Beijing Normal University, is among the first group of graduates of the "Outstanding Teachers Program". He currently teaches history at Chacheng Senior High School in Meitan county, a former nationally designated poverty-stricken area in Zunyi.Liu's decision to return to his roots was deeply influenced by his own educational experience. Growing up in a remote town in Yuqing county of Zunyi, he had limited exposure to the wider world. His primary school Chinese teacher, Ms Li, opened his eyes to the power of knowledge and compassion, Liu said.Like many of his peers, Liu was tempted by the dynamic urban life in Beijing. But through volunteering and teaching practice in rural schools, he rediscovered his life's purpose.Chacheng Senior High School, where Liu now works, was recently established to serve students who do not score well in their high school entrance exams. For many, it represents a last chance to continue formal education before possibly turning to low-skilled work or early marriage, he said."Every day here is a challenge, but also a gift," he said. "When parents thank me with their voice filled with sincerity, when my students and I win the first place in military training, when I see their eyes light up during a history lesson — these are the moments that make me the happiest, and they happen every day."This year, Liu's birthday wish is simple, yet profound. "May I become a better teacher over the next year, and may my students achieve satisfactory grades in the next three years and become someone noteworthy in life," he said.rural teachersn.农村教师 /ˈrʊərəl ˈtiːtʃəz/special-post teacher recruitment programn.特岗教师计划/ˈspeʃl pəʊst ˈtiːtʃə rɪˈkruːtmənt ˈprəʊɡræm/

More recently, his leadership as the three-term governor of Washington State has led to unprecedented success in building a clean energy economy, fighting climate change, improving opportunities for working families and advancing progressive values of Washingtonians. Under Governor Inslee's leadership, Washington has consistently ranked as one of the best states for both working families and business growth.

He worked his way through college operating bulldozers, married his high school sweetheart Trudi and graduated from Willamette Law School. He then established a successful law practice in the Central Washington town of Selah in 1976 where he and Trudi raised three sons and four acres of hay. After twelve years practicing trial law and prosecuting criminal cases, Governor Inslee's desire to make a difference was whetted by his co-chairing a campaign to build a new high school, which led him to serve in the Washington State House of Representatives for the 14th district, after an upset victory, one of several in his political career. Governor Inslee served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Central Washington until his defeat in 1994, largely attributable to his vote to ban assault weapons. Following stints practicing law and serving as Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the northwest, the Governor returned to Congress in 1999 representing the 1st District, becoming one of four people ever to represent two separate congressional districts. There he became notable as a leader of climate change issues and tech economic development matters and was a leading opponent of the Iraq war. During his term, he coauthored Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy, a template for economic growth. Governor Inslee carried this vision into his unsuccessful but influential run for the presidency in 2019. His ideas became the basis of groundbreaking federal climate laws during the Biden administration. Throughout his three terms, Governor Inslee established Washington as a leading state for climate action and a beacon of progress: Created the Climate Commitment Act and successfully defeated an initiative to repeal it. Launched nation-leading policies related to 100% clean energy, clean buildings and clean transportation. The governor's climate efforts also support innovation through the launch of the Washington Clean Energy Fund, a Clean Energy Institute at the University of Washington, and the Institute for Northwest Futures at Washington State University. Promoted a more equal and just justice system. Governor Inslee placed a moratorium on Washington's death penalty, which was ultimately affirmed by the state Supreme Court due to its unequal and racially biased application, and it was subsequently struck from state law. He also enacted several justice system reforms such as the Marijuana Justice Initiative and Community Reinvestment Fund and has been recognized for his leadership on clemency and reentry. Led efforts to fully fund Washington's K-12 education system and a historic expansion of early learning. Led the transformation of Washington's behavioral health system with a significant expansion of community-based facilities, a new teaching hospital at the University of Washington and a new forensic hospital on the grounds of Western State Hospital. Defended access to reproductive health and gender-affirming care.

We will shortly be reviewing the new reMarkable Paper Pro Move, which is launched today. Below is the latest information about it. See more about the device here. The new reMarkable Paper Pro Move comes out today The 7.3-inch digital notebook has been designed for work that happens anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. It slips easily into a bag or jacket pocket, perfect for working professionals whose jobs take them out of the office. Existing ways of capturing ideas on the go all have their drawbacks. Paper is hard to organise, tricky to share, and easy to lose. Balancing laptops on knees can be uncomfortable, and when meeting someone, the big screen immediately gets in the way of collaboration. And on our phones, our attention can be hijacked by endless scrolling and social media. After listening closely to users, reMarkable learned that many wanted the same distraction- free experience of its other paper tablets, just in a smaller size. The idea? For working professionals to bring their workspace with them and do their best thinking - wherever they go. "reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a new, flexible option for capturing your thoughts," said Phil Hess, CEO of reMarkable. "It's big enough to hold your work, yet small enough to not get in the way. Whether you're meeting at a conference, airport, or café, you're able to be fully in the moment during your conversation." A workday for an architect, sales representative, journalist, or other professional on the move might start at home, using the reMarkable desktop app to review notes and upload documents for the day. When out and about, reMarkable Paper Pro Move's compact size means it's always within reach for spontaneous inspiration or discreet note-taking during meetings. Focusing entirely on the conversation - planned or unplanned - feels easy. Notes are encrypted and stored securely both on the device and in the cloud. Hardware that goes anywhere Press Release - reMarkable Paper Pro Move "We created a device that belongs in your bag or jacket pocket - an everyday carry," said Chief Product Officer Mats Herding Solberg. "It's like a classic journalist notepad, so you can get real work done while standing up and holding it in one hand. There's nothing else in the workspace like it." The 7.3-inch Canvas Color display, combined with reMarkable's custom-developed Markers, delivers the best digital writing experience available. The digital ink appears virtually instantly, and every pen stroke has just the right amount of friction, so it feels like writing on paper. The soft, natural colours spark creative thinking and intuitive organisation. Unlike other devices, the display reflects natural light without causing eye strain. The adjustable reading light softly illuminates the display, perfect for reviewing work on a morning commute or backstage before a keynote. reMarkable Paper Pro Move features a design in sleek anodized aluminium and textured glass, so users can look the part wherever they go. With up to two weeks of battery life and three days of power in just 10 minutes of recharging, there's no need to hunt for a socket. Made of more than 50% recycled metals and easier to refurbish and repair, it's reMarkable's most sustainable paper tablet yet. Software that keeps work flowing Built-in templates, including grids, lines, and planners, make it simple to jot down notes over coffee. Need more room to write? Just turn reMarkable Paper Pro Move sideways, and the display rotates automatically. Notes can be converted into text with a tap and sent by email directly from the device. The low-cost Connect subscription gives users even more ways to capture their thoughts, with exclusive templates and workbooks for leading projects, taking notes, and solving complex problems. With Connect, users can also take and edit notes in the reMarkable apps, so they can move between devices as their workday changes. Unlimited cloud storage ensures notes are always available, and the new handwriting...

4.  Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days that Launched SpaceX by Eric Berger, chronicles the turbulent and often precarious genesis of Elon Musk's ambitious rocket company, SpaceX. The narrative begins in March 2006 on Omelek Island, part of the Marshall Islands, where SpaceX prepared for the inaugural flight of its Falcon 1 rocket. Musk, having conceived the idea in 2001 to disrupt the space industry, founded SpaceX in 2002 despite being "laughed out of the room" by experts. He self-educated in rocketry and committed a significant portion of his fortune to the venture, pioneering a vertically integrated approach to manufacturing, building components like the Merlin engine in-house to reduce costs and accelerate development. The first three Falcon 1 launches were failures, each providing critical, hard-won lessons: 1. Launch 1 (March 2006): The Merlin engine ignited, but a corroded bolt, exacerbated by the humid tropical environment, caused a fuel leak and an engine fire, leading the rocket to crash back onto Omelek Island just 30 seconds after liftoff. Musk's philosophy that "failure is an option" guided the immediate post-crash investigation to collect debris and pinpoint the cause. 2. Launch 2 (March 2007): Despite the first stage working perfectly, the second stage, lacking "slosh baffles" (omitted based on computer models to save weight), spun out of control due to fuel sloshing. While it reached space (above 100 km), it failed to achieve a stable orbit, meaning SpaceX was not yet considered a "real rocket company" in the industry. This failure popularized the SpaceX proverb, "always go to 11". 3. Launch 3 (August 2008): Carrying multiple customer payloads, including the ashes of Star Trek's Scotty, this launch again saw a successful first stage. However, an unexpected relight of the first stage engine after separation caused it to bump and knock the second stage off course, killing the mission. This was a profound setback, as Musk had budgeted for only three flights, and the global economy was simultaneously collapsing. With the company nearly out of money and the world in a severe recession, Musk gathered his team, who expected him to announce closure. Instead, he declared they would make one more attempt with the remaining rocket parts, demanding it be ready in six weeks, though six months would have been more realistic. This fourth rocket's journey was not without its own drama: during transport in an Air Force C-17, the first stage imploded due to a pressure differential (SpaceX had used an outdated manual for the aircraft's pressurization). A young engineer, Zack Dunn, heroically crawled inside the crumpling rocket during descent to manually open valves, saving it from destruction. After rapid repairs, the fourth Falcon 1 launched in late September 2008. This time, it achieved orbit, carrying a dummy payload named "Rats". The team's jubilation, screaming "Orbit, orbit" at each other, marked a pivotal moment that Berger describes as "the end of the beginning" for SpaceX. This success, amidst immense technical hurdles, financial desperation, and a global economic crisis, underscored Musk's relentless determination, vertical integration strategy, and acceptance of failure as a learning tool. 1958

The carbon removal industry stands at a crucial crossroads. While cutting emissions remains essential, avoiding catastrophic warming now requires pulling billions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere permanently. But as this nascent field grapples with questions of legitimacy, scalability, and accountability, a critical challenge remains: How do we build the infrastructure needed to track, verify, and certify that carbon has actually been removed and stays removed? Meet Hannes Junginger-Gestrich, CEO of Carbonfuture, a company helping define the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) infrastructure that could transform carbon removal from scattered efforts into a functioning ecosystem. Launched five years ago, Carbonfuture has emerged as what CDR.fyi describes as "the largest facilitator of durable carbon removal" by volume. The company's digital platform integrates data across the carbon removal life cycle, connecting diverse approaches like biochar, enhanced rock weathering, and direct air capture with buyers seeking to meet climate commitments. "We are probably more the crowd, the ground keepers in a stadium that makes sure that everything is provided properly," Hannes explains, using a sports analogy to describe their role: "We are the ground keepers in a stadium [who ensure] the players have a playing field that's in shape and no one gets hurt, and the audience can come and they pay their tickets and have a good experience."The MRV infrastructure becomes crucial as corporate demand for verified carbon removal grows and trust becomes currency. One of the most interesting aspects of the conversation centers on balancing data confidentiality with transparency needs, particularly when collecting data along industrial value chains from agricultural residue producers to biochar processors to end users. Perhaps most telling is Junginger-Gestrich's unwavering commitment to scientific rigor over short-term economic gains: "We never had to trade off between rigor and allowing a not so good project on our platform for economic reasons. We always lean to the scientific and rigorous side." This philosophy has guided Carbonfuture's work with leading buyers like Microsoft, helping develop increasingly sophisticated approaches to carbon removal verification. While Junginger-Gestrich expresses concern about delayed emission reductions globally, he remains optimistic about carbon removal scaling: "I think we will be on the path to the gigatons by 2040 for sure." His vision emphasizes ecosystem thinking over vertical integration, aiming to drive down costs while creating network effects that could accelerate the entire field. As governments worldwide grapple with climate policy, the monitoring, reporting, and verification systems companies like Carbonfuture are developing now may well determine the success of our collective effort to reverse climate change.

According to the violent crime survey by the Major Cities Chiefs Association, there were 17 homicides in Portland in the first half of 2025 compared to 35 for the same period last year. That 51% decline is the largest drop in homicides among the 68 city and county police agencies represented in the survey. Aggravated assaults, rapes and robberies have also declined in Portland and nationwide, according to the survey.    Gun violence, however, continues to be a problem, with three firearm-related homicides recorded in Portland just last month. Ceasefire is one of the initiatives the city is pursuing to break the cycle of gun violence. Launched in 2023, it’s based on a national model that identifies individuals at high risk for gun violence and provides them with supportive services and intensive case management within their communities. Ceasefire director Sierra Ellis and Lt. Israel Hill, who supervises the Portland Police Bureau’s Focused Intervention Team and Enhanced Community Safety Team, join us to talk about Ceasefire and other strategies the city is pursuing to curb violent crimes.

"Our mother was so aware of how important it was for us to treat each other well and she just led with such a loving graceful presence.  She was the quintessential mom. She was just warm and loving and forgiving and nurturing. She taught us to love and be loved," reflects Amy."To be loving and kind to one another" Amy explains, "mom gave me the gift of solice and comfort. She was happy being in the shadows. In big gatherings ...Amy says mom gave her the  gifts of curiosity and independence. She considers herself a late bloomer. Betty was happy that Amy was able to move 3000 miles away on her own terms and create and live your own dreams.Nancy shares a wonderful story of a mother's love for her daughter. Nancy was a punk rocker and was heckled by some local teens, but Betty went full on riot act and defended her daughter and her orange hair. Betty stood up for her daughter. She taught Nancy how to stand up for herself and not let anyone take advantage of you.According to my guests, their mother had a very quiet and kind demeanor yet the Harrington kids had a phrase regarding their mother "don't mess with my chickens."  "What you should do, is....," was one of their mom's familiar phrases for Nancy and her siblings . Their mother had studied to be an art teacher, had children and she was a substitute teacher at her daughter's Catholic school. She taught her children all kinds of things without the help of the internet. It didn't exist back then, but she was a wonderful natural teacher.When Nancy and Amy's parents met, Betty and her family represented everything their father did not have. Their dad, one of nine children lost his mom as a baby and his father, my guest's grandfather, couldn't keep a stable household. My guest's parents were able to pass on the significance of a safe and loving family environment. And their mother became the shield that protected her children from any issues that would arise.The Passionistas Equality Summit happens annually focusing on marginalized women from their community. These women wanted someone who had their b ack. Launched the Passionistas Project Sisterhood in March 2024. Women can come and be themselves and lift themselves up. It's not just business networking, it's personal growth and social impact. Women don't need to show up with a business card and be all buttoned up and pretend everything.Amy says this is a story of a woman who put family before everything including herself. Taught her children how to love one another other and be good stewards in the world. The Harrington house was a place where any and all kids who needed a place where they felt safe were welcome. From the time I was little, we had friends who were gay, different ethnic backgrounds, the kids who's parents worked all night and had no dinner. we learned that  our lives were richer because we knew all these people and their lives were richer because they were accepted, explains Amy.  Our mother was a loving and caring human being, possibly the most loving and caring being you could possibly imagine.  Nancy adds "she was someone who loved unconditionally and she gone too soon."Amy and Nancy feel that the common bond that holds their family together, the driving force in all of their lives was based on creativity.  Both mom and dad were very creative. Had she been born in a different era, she would have been Indiana Jones. She also love the simple things in life including ice cream and cooking.Both my guests agree that their mother encouraged all her children "to dream big and go for it." She wanted her children to be themselves. Betty loved her children for who they were.*Women's Equality Day is Monday, August 25th. The Power of Passionistas Summit is taking place August 26 through August 28th, 2025.

Gavin Newsom (D) has done a flip-flop on oil production, with the state facing steep gas price hikes, and is now trying to work with the fossil fuel industry to produce more fuel rather than stopping it. The abrupt shift is a dramatic one for a governor who has attacked the fossil fuel industry throughout his six-plus years in office, and who has to appease climate change activists in his state and the Democratic Party. The main reason for Newsom's about-face is the prospect of rising gas prices, thanks to taxes (backed by Newsom), rising environmental fuel standards (backed by Newsom), and the departure of oil refineries. Some experts have predicted prices could rise as high as $8 or $9 per gallon, making the nation's costliest gas market even pricier, and hurting the middle class — just as Newsom is trying to boost his national profile.

Bloomberg reports that in a sign of the White House's increasing willingness to intervene directly in key industries, the Trump administration is in talks with Intel about buying a stake in the struggling semiconductor giant. According to people familiar with the deliberations, the move aims to bolster Intel's planned factory hub in Ohio, which has been repeatedly delayed. The discussions follow a meeting this week between President Donald Trump and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, whom Trump had previously accused of being “highly conflicted” due to concerns about his ties to China. The potential stake size remains unclear as plans are still fluid and could end without an agreement.
