The Global Energy Markets are changing, and Giacomo Prendelli (Jack) stops by the Energy News Beat podcast.There are just some great days in the world, and today was no exception. I had the honor of visiting with Giacomo Prandelli of the Merchant's News Substack. It was a great time. After doing over 1,000 episodes, I can tell if the conversation feels like 5 minutes, it was a good Conversation in Energy.I started reading The Merchant's News Substack and was impressed with Giacomo's (Jack) articles and research. Today's discussion was really a great setup for the geopolitical issues the Trump Adminstration is facing while trying to keep energy prices down. Key Discussion points:1. The current state of the oil and energy markets, including factors affecting oil prices such as geopolitical tensions, production levels, and demand.2. The shifting global power dynamics, with the United States, Russia, China, and India emerging as the key players, while the European Union and the UK are seen as declining in influence.3. The impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on energy markets and the potential role of the United States in shaping the outcome.4. The challenges faced by the renewable energy transition, including the reliability and cost-effectiveness of technologies like wind and solar compared to traditional fossil fuels.5. The potential for countries like Libya and Guyana to become important oil producers with low production costs.6. The issues facing the energy infrastructure and policies in California, particularly the reliance on oil pipelines and the push towards renewable energy.7. The background and motivation behind the Merchant's News Substack, which the host sees as a valuable source of analysis and insights on energy and commodity markets.Time Stamps:00:18 Introduction in Switzerland02:18 Shadow Fleet Ends05:00 Energy Policies and the EU, and UK07:57 World bifurcating into new trading blocs13:18 NATO18:26 Investment Charts Gold, metals, and Oil25:29 Biden and Trump have different moves as leaders29:17 Russia, North Africa, and EuropeDo not judge the site based on the landing page. The great cartoons are eye-catching with fantastic details behind the story. When I first started reading his articles and finding out what he was writing about, I was shocked. When you jump into his articles and financial discussions, you can walk away with a great appreciation for the work he is putting into every article. You can also find Jack on his LinkedIn here.Check out his post on X.

Notes: Contract Law Exam Ready GuideUnderstanding UCC Article 2 vs. Common Law Contracts: A Legal Deep DiveThis conversation provides an in-depth analysis of UCC Article 2, focusing on the transition from common law contracts to the more flexible UCC framework. It covers essential topics such as the scope of UCC Article 2, merchant status, contract formation, the battle of the forms, performance and breach, risk of loss, warranties, remedies, and the judicial concept of unconscionability. The discussion emphasizes the UCC's anti-surprise policy, which aims to protect buyers from hidden risks and unfair terms in contracts.Navigating the transition from common law contracts to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 2 can feel like stepping into a new world. The shift from rigid common law rules to the flexible, commerce-friendly UCC is akin to changing the rules of gravity in a legal landscape.The Philosophical Shift: Common law contracts focus on the intent and promises between two parties, demanding precision and formality. In contrast, UCC Article 2, which governs the sale of goods, is designed for the high-volume, often messy reality of commerce. It aims to facilitate trade rather than hinder it over minor discrepancies.Scope and Application: The UCC applies exclusively to transactions involving goods, defined as movable items at the time of contract identification. This distinction is crucial, as it determines whether the UCC or common law governs a transaction. In mixed contracts involving both goods and services, the predominant purpose test helps decide the applicable legal regime.Merchant Status and Good Faith: Merchant status under the UCC introduces stricter rules and increased liability. Merchants are held to a higher standard of good faith, requiring not only honesty but also adherence to reasonable commercial standards. This ensures that a merchant's conduct aligns with industry norms.Formation and Flexibility: UCC formation rules prioritize the parties' intent to contract, even if some terms are left open. The code provides statutory gap fillers to address these omissions, ensuring that viable agreements are not destroyed by technicalities.Warranties and Disclaimers: The UCC imposes express and implied warranties to ensure product quality. Sellers can disclaim these warranties, but the UCC's anti-surprise policy requires disclaimers to be conspicuous and explicit. This protects buyers from hidden risks.Remedies and Risk of Loss: The UCC offers remedies to place aggrieved parties in the position they would have occupied had the contract been fully performed. It also outlines rules for risk of loss, determining which party bears the financial burden if goods are damaged or destroyed.The UCC's overarching policy objective is to prevent surprise and ensure fairness in commercial transactions. By understanding the nuances of UCC Article 2 and its contrast with common law, legal professionals can navigate this complex landscape with confidence.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest legal insights and deepen your understanding of contract law.TakeawaysThe transition from common law to UCC is significant.UCC Article 2 focuses on commercial reality and flexibility.Merchant status affects the obligations and risks in transactions.The predominant purpose test determines the governing law for mixed contracts.UCC formation rules are more flexible than common law.The battle of the forms allows for contract formation despite discrepancies.The perfect tender rule gives buyers leverage but has safety valves.Risk of loss depends on the type of contract and seller status.Warranties are foundational seller promises that can be difficult to disclaim.Unconscionability serves as a judicial check on fairness in contracts.UCC, Article 2, contracts, common law, merchant status, warranties, remedies, unconscionability, risk of loss, battle of the forms

Welcome back to On The Ball with Ric Bucher on the United Wecast Network.In this episode, Ric dives deep into why calling Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a “free-throw merchant” is one of the dumbest narratives in the league right now — and how it's overshadowing a potentially historic season from both SGA and the 23–1 Oklahoma City Thunder.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast we talked about Merchant to Mystic, Isha Das' powerful re-telling of the life of Francis of Assisi—not as a distant saint, but as a true hero whose journey mirrors our own. We explored how this young, privileged pleasure-seeker from medieval Assisi transformed into one of history's most beloved spiritual figures, and how failure, mission, community, meditation, lifestyle change, and surrender shaped his inner evolution. We also reflected on the pivotal role of Clare of Assisi, the way Francis embodied Christ Consciousness, and how his death reflected the purity of the life he lived. What makes Isha Das' perspective so compelling is the depth of love and lived experience behind it—his forty years as a psychotherapist and mystical teacher illuminate Francis' story in a way that feels immediate, human, and deeply relevant for modern seekers. You can find Isha Das' new book, Merchant to Mystic: The Hero's Journey of Francis of Assisi here: https://a.co/d/dUOzUFs -

SUB TO THE PPM PATREON SO KLONNY GOSCH'S CORK BOARD LABOR OF LOVE CAN CONT FOR ANOTHER 100 EPISODES (AND GAIN ACCESS TO "SYSTEME ZAHAROFF II"):patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingIN CELEBRATION OF 100 EPISODES OF PPM, I am joined by SEBBE for a synchronized dive into the wilderness of mirrors that is the Balkans-trotting, death-peddling life of Basil Zaharoff, "the mystery man of Europe" whose blood money fortune rivaled those of Rockefeller and Henry Ford. We excavate how Zaharoff was a prototypical deep political figure foreshadowing more modern underworld ne'er-do-wells and sex-crazed arms traders like Jeffrey Epstein, Adnan Kashoggi, Viktor Bout, Sarkis Soghanalian, Efraim Diveroli, Robert Maxwell, etc. We also draw a number of Erik Jan Hanussen symmetries, convenient considering a likely candidate for a character partly patterned after him in Shadow Ticket.This is the first entry in the SCIF SESSIONS featuring past guests, friends, and Cork Board Cadre members. I initially planned to release a monster episode in call-in special style, but as I got a number of sessions under my belt, it became apparent that a 20 hour or so episode would be prohibitive. So instead, I will be dropping the conversations in discrete installments in between our regular programming. Lots of great material coming at you.File under: parallels with our Shadow Ticket exegesis by way of Zedzed's relationship with British intelligence and Viennese manse, which evoke MI3b agents Pips and Alf Quarrender; Zaharoff's ward Tereza Damala's amorous relations with Gabriele d'Annunzio also evoking ST; his remote cameo in Against the Day via purchasing agent Viktor Mulciber, who is pursuing the Q-Weapon at Zaharoff's behest (which harnesses time as means of violence), his latter attempts to sell it to the Japanese, and Clive Crouchmas' thwarted scheme to sex traffick the scarlet strumpet Dahlia Rideout to the Lord of War, a bribe seeking to tempt his fabled appetite for redheaded Babalonian women; Hergé, Tintin, and Basil Bazarov lampooning the int'l man of mystery; the varying accounts of Zaharoff's early life and heritage, whether Greek, Turkish, Russian Jew, etc. etc.; his criminal adolescence as a member of an arsonry gang cum fire department, a racket in Constantinople where they would burn down wealthy homes and extort payment and which is right on theme with our recent history of class violence, organized crime, racketeering, and transformismo; his time as a brothel tout; human trafficker in Galway, Ireland, sending girls to MasSUSchusetts textile mills; bigamist marrying a dame in Philly; confidence artist; etc.; there are myriad legends, some of which we'll unpack in Pt. II; all trails eventually merge with Zaharoff's employment as a Nordenfelt machine gun salesman; which leads to his relationship with machine gun manufacturer Hiram Maxim; the Rothschilds connection; PM David Lloyd George; negotiations to bribe the Young Turks and Enver Pasha into abandoning the Central Powers circa WWI; and much much more. I am doing my best to ward off burnt-outage, but I think that is sufficient for liner notes for this second. A second part, solo, and with some research revolving around a possible outcropping of the Zaharoff network amounting to a Nazi - Z i o n i s t gun running ring in Palestine in the late '30s and which I'm actually quite giddy over and which may well be relatively novel and which certainly expands upon past points of interest... will follow in the morning.

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #041, part 4   Benjamin Wood Richards' tenure as mayor coincided with challenges such as public health crises, infrastructure needs, and social tensions in Philadelphia. In 1819, Richards co-founded a large commission house in Philadelphia, a business acting as an intermediary for securities and commodities transactions, earning income through commissions.  He served in the Pennsylvania legislature in 1827, advocated for public schools, was a canal commissioner, and was appointed by President Andrew Jackson to direct the U.S. Bank and Mint.  Appointed mayor in 1829 and elected in 1830-31, wealthy merchant Stephen Girard died during his term. Richards helped found the Girard Trust Company in 1835, serving as its president until his death, with the bank later becoming Girard Bank. When Richards toured Europe, he was inspired by Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery, and helped found Philadelphia's Laurel Hill Cemetery, where he was a major stakeholder.

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from my latest podcast episode with Tim Bello, Managing Partner of Merchant Investment Management. Tim's journey in the wealth and asset management industry is nothing short of inspiring, and I can't wait for you to dive into our conversation.Here are some key takeaways and intriguing points we covered:Key Lessons and Ideas:  • Early Career Insights: Tim started at Permal, a hedge fund of funds, where he learned that hard work and people always matter. Fun fact: he initially thought a hedge fund was a shrubbery company!  • Skybridge Capital Transformation: Tim played a pivotal role in transforming Skybridge into a democratized hedge fund of funds operation, emphasizing the importance of strategic acquisitions and partnerships.  • The Birth of Merchant: Inspired by Cheryl Penny's vision for independent wealth management, Tim co-founded Merchant to offer a unique minority, non-controlling capital partnership model. This approach aligns capital with culture and long-term enterprise value.  • Leadership Through Volatility: Tim shared valuable leadership lessons, emphasizing the power of fear, the importance of not getting drunk on your own Kool-Aid, and the need for leaders to let their teams breathe and operate independently.  • Capital Partnership Philosophy: Merchant focuses on alignment over control, offering equity capital partnerships, custom credit solutions, essential business services, and alternative investment solutions. This holistic approach ensures businesses can grow multigenerationally while maintaining their identity.  • People Over Capital: Tim stressed that in evaluating partnerships, people matter more than the capital itself. Understanding the management team, their commitment, and their culture is crucial for long-term success.  • Culture as a Non-Negotiable: Ignoring culture in partnerships can lead to misery. Tim highlighted the importance of understanding the energy and culture of potential partners to predict future success.  • Personal Definition of Success: For Tim, success is about family, health, and having a real purpose in life. Money is secondary to the love and engagement with his family.Curiosities and Fun Facts:  • Tim's journey from thinking hedge funds were shrubbery companies to leading a firm with over 120 partnerships across six countries.  • The importance of not rushing to judgment and avoiding emotional reactions in leadership.  • The role of capitalism and free enterprise in enabling opportunities and achievements.  • Tim's personal mantra: “Pay attention to the little things, for one day you'll realize they were the big things.”I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full episode. Tim's insights are not only valuable for those in the wealth management industry but for anyone looking to build meaningful, long-lasting partnerships and lead with purpose.Tune in to the episode here: https://www.capitalistculture.com/ and let me know what you think!Stay curious and keep learning,Send us a textConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

This is Tetsemi: To my left is Mewkow: – (catch phrase here). And to my right is Mkallah: (hey guys, there is leftover caramel apple pie in the guild kitchen). This week, we have a wrap up of what is going on for December in AIE and gaming in general. Ok, we'll be digging into what we have been up to shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news… AIE News Community Mandatory Fun Nights Where the fun is mandatory but the attendance is not. Sunday – Destiny 2 8:30 pm Eastern Monday – GW2 9:30 pm Eastern Monday – STO 10:00 pm Eastern Tuesday – SWTOR 9:00 pm Eastern Wednesday – HFO Mythic+ Mayhem (WoW) 8:00 pm Eastern Friday – ESO 9:00 pm Eastern Saturday – LotRO 8:30 pm Eastern Saturday – FFXIV (Maps) 9:30 pm Eastern Saturday – Noob Raid (WoW) 11:00 pm Eastern Streaming and Guild Podcast News We have a ton of AIE member podcasts! Want to know where to find them? Look no further than here- New Overlords Podcast (Max and Sema) https://www.newoverlords.com Boards and Swords (Chris and Philip) https://boardsandswords.com/blog?category=Boards%20%26%20Swords Dr. Gameology ( Dr. Daniel Kaufmann ) https://drgameology.com/ STO – Fleet Action Report (Grebog and Nikodas) https://www.youtube.com/@fleetactionreport A Podcast Reborn: A FFXIV Community Podcast (Brandon aka Old Man Franks, Meagan, and Rho) – NSFL https://www.bonusroll.gg/directory/a-podcast-reborn/ WoW Noob Raid is on winter break until January 3, 2026 so Dankinia can get a bit of relief from the horrible jokes the group likes to torment her with. During 2025, Dankinia demonstrated her floor tanking abilities 172 times. While she is out, Celindre will be leading Noob Raid – After Dark during the normal 11pm EST time slot each Saturday. In WoW, Midnight – the next expansion – has a release date of March 2nd with the pre-patch release on Jan 13. Anyone with an Epic Edition pre-order will have early access – expected Feb 27 according to WoWHead. Players with early access will also be able to use the new Player Housing feature as of Dec 2. This will be a bit complicated for AIE and our co-guilds, which are one of several ways to join “neighborhoods” for player housing. Every player’s Warband gets two houses – one Horde and one Alliance, but any alt can access either home. There will be open neighborhoods that are server wide, and Guilds can create private neighborhoods open to anyone in that guild. Groups of friends (such as Raid Teams) can also create charters for their own neighborhoods. We will have neighb orhoods for all the co-guilds (probably) but haven’t assigned which officer will be assigned to which yet. Currently, in addition to the Legion Remix event (speed leveling/transmog/mounts etc), the WoW Anniversary is active in Retail WoW, with a rep & xp boost. Visiting the Anniversary Celebration at the Caverns of Time will provide an additional buff. Rep is good – because it’s one of the ways to obtain decor for Player Housing. SWTOR SWTOR will see a holiday release of update 7.8 entitled “Pursuit of Ruin”. It will include a new story chapter, a new type of Dynamic Encounter, and a new stronghold (player housing). That’s not to mention Life Day festivities, with the snow balls and the wookiee hugging. Also, for the first year ever, we will be trying out a new guild event during the evenings between Christmas and New Years. Stay tuned to discord for more info on that! ESO MFN in ESO generally takes the month of December off, but expect to find a couple of people hanging out at the normal time on Friday nights though the holidays. Attendance will be sporadic but feel free to reach out if anyone would like company while running the holiday events in game. FFXIV Patch 7.4 comes December 16th. Main Scenario – Into the Mist Raid Dungeon – The Arcadion: Heavyweight Division Variant Dungeon – The Merchant’s Tale New Dungeon – Mistwake New Trial – Hell on Rails New Unreal Trial – Tsukuyomi’s Pain (Unreal) New Frontline Campaign – Worqor Chirteh Weapon Enhancement Quests – Phantom Weapons Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures Manderville Gold Saucer GATE – Air Force One (The Cieldalaes) Cosmic Exploration: Oizys and Tool Enhancement Quests – Cosmic Tools Strategy Board – Raid explanations but better Glamour Update – Unlocked all types! New Theme Settings – Clear Green and Clear White Mac support (Ventura ends Jan 27, Tahoe now supported) Save 50% on Collector's Edition Digital Upgrades Until December 7 New ridiculous hotpot mount (It flies) And irregular tomestones are active now until 7.4 is live. Fanfest is happening where Blizzcon is normally, April 24/25th. Cookbook #2 is out! LOTRO New expansion “Kingdoms of Harad” as of right now is scheduled to be released on December 3rd. The instance cluster for the expansion is expected to be delayed, which means this gives a chance to level up to the new level cap and get a group together and look at it as a kinship. Also looking forward to the Yule Festival that starts on December 11th. Join us as we look to have fun in Frostbluff as well as protecting it in “The Battle of Frostbluff”. STO Yes, it’s true, Cryptic studios has once again been sold. However, this is not a time for doom and gloom. The new owners have no intentions of sunsetting STO. In fact, STO has simply returned to its original owners who want to see the game succeed. There are ongoing sales in both the Zen Store and Mudd’s Market. Some of these are as high as 50% off! Lifetime Subscriptions are 33% off until Dec 14th Q’s Winter Wonderland will be returning on Dec 9th. While we don’t have any specific details on what the rewards will be this year, it’s sure to be something you don’t want to miss! And with that, let's get to what we have been doing in and out of the game! And, Mkallah has a question for everyone! GAME NEWS Okay, friends! What geeky thing are you planning to give for the holidays, and are there any geeky gifts you hope to receive? CLOSE And that's our show for tonight.

In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Liza Amlani, Chief Merchant and Principal of Retail Strategy Group, who returns to the podcast to share timely insights from her new book, "The Material Life: Process Innovation for Retailers and Brands" Recognized globally as a retail thought leader, Amlani brings her two decades of merchandising expertise to a provocative argument: the retail industry has been obsessed with what products it sells, while neglecting how those products are made—a blind spot costing brands both time and money.Amlani illustrates how process innovation begins long before a product hits the shelf. Traditional apparel development starts with a design concept, hunting for materials to match. Her materials-first model flips that dynamic, accelerating time to market, reducing over-development, and eliminating redundant fabric, trim, and colour decisions. She cites examples where retailers were creating thousands of unnecessary material variations—like zippers—without realizing the margin erosion and operational chaos this creates.Throughout the conversation, Amlani explains how silos between merchants, sourcing, materials, design, and marketing teams create a “butterfly effect” where one late-stage decision can unravel deadlines, sample production, and vendor negotiations. Breaking those silos strengthens governance, reduces waste, and aligns teams around measurable outcomes including her Material Adoption Rate (MAR) framework—an accountability tool that tracks how many material developments actually make it into assortments.The episode also explores the rising influence of AI in fabric research and digital product creation, the impact of sourcing regulations emerging in North America and Europe, and how leading brands like lululemon are quietly reshaping their operating models through materials-led go-to-market roles. Amlani argues that brands embracing transparency, vendor partnership, and digital material workflows will unlock significant margin upside at a time when inflation, tariffs, supply chain friction, and fast-fashion disruptors are redefining consumer expectations.Finally, the discussion turns to the road ahead. As retailers prepare for 2026, Amlani urges leaders to rethink the fabric of product creation itself, invest in consumer-centric assortments, and treat materials not as an afterthought but as a strategic asset. For retailers, merchants, product developers, and sourcing teams eager to future-proof their business, this episode is a masterclass in modern merchandising excellence.

Send us a textThis week on the podcast Azam stops by the discuss her new music, Synesthesia, immigrating tot he US, living through war, menopause, and more. *****It is a song of destruction, of fire consuming everything in its path, yet within that annihilation lies the threshold of renewal, and the promise of something new,” explains internationally beloved singer/songwriter/producer AZAM ALI about her new single “To Pieces,” which is released today, September 4, 2025 via COP International. Taken from her upcoming album Synesthesia which will be released on November 14, 2025, “To Pieces” is a gorgeously aural landscape of echoing strings, cinematic keyboard washes, and tribal percussions, with Azam's ethereal vocals floating above it all like a luminescent spectre.   Deeply layered both musically and lyrically, her sixth solo album Synesthesia is an escape from this tumultuous world, but not without the impact of the cultural and political upheaval. Named after the sensory phenomenon that allows individuals to experience the senses in a different way such as tasting colors or feeling sounds, “synesthesia” is a concept that runs throughout the album. The title track's accelerating beat contrasts with Azam's wispy vocals, generating a neural response that is comforting yet daunting. “This song is very special for me because I tried to capture what the sense of synesthesia that I experience is, the way my senses sometimes overlap, blending sound, color, and texture into a single, immersive perception.” The gauzy and delicate “Autumn of Goodbye” offers a softer and radiant ambiance with Azam holding onto the final moments before letting go (Walk with me / Under the sky / And offer me / The stars / On the way down). Synesthesia also offers two eye-opening covers: Tim Buckley's “Song to the Siren” and Natalie Merchant's “This House Is On Fire.” The former is a moody take on the original, highlighting Azam's octave jumping vocal prowess, while the latter transforms Merchant's languid calypso beat into a propulsive song with Middle Eastern flourishes.  “My music is an invitation to step beyond the confines of time, place, and the fragile vessel of flesh into a universe without borders,” Azam explains. “I want the listener to feel carried into the vastness of the ethereal, where freedom breathes, and every note reveals our part in a greater design. In this realm, we are no longer solitary beings, but shining stars drawn together into galaxies, each tone a reminder that we are participants in a cosmic symphony far larger than ourselves.”  ******If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.
