Cũng như nhiều nước khác, trước tình hình nguồn cung dầu hỏa bị gián đoạn do chiến tranh Mỹ-Iran, để bảo đảm an ninh năng lượng, Việt Nam buộc phải dựa vào điện than nhiều hơn cho dù làm như vậy sẽ càng khó mà thực hiện các cam kết về chống biến đổi khí hậu. Theo Cơ quan Thông tin Năng lượng Mỹ (EIA), hơn 80% lượng dầu thô và khí tự nhiên hóa lỏng (LNG) đi qua eo biển Hormuz là được xuất khẩu sang châu Á. Việc tuyến hàng hải này bị phong tỏa đẩy khu vực vào tình thế vô cùng khó khăn. Đặc biệt, do nguồn cung khan hiếm, giá khí LNG đã tăng vọt ở thị trường châu Á, trong khi giá than tăng ít hơn nhiều, cho nên nhiều nước trong khu vực quay trở lại với điện than.  Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ ngày 12/05/2026, giáo sư Phạm Duy Hiển, nguyên Viện trưởng Viện nghiên cứu hạt nhân Đà Lạt, cũng ghi nhận đây là tình hình chung của các nước châu Á: “Không chỉ riêng Việt Nam mà hầu hết nhiều nước ở châu Á và các nước lớn như Trung Quốc, Ấn Độ ... đều bị tác động. Trung Quốc là một nước có rất nhiều than, cho nên có lợi thế. Bây giờ họ quay sang sử dụng than nhiều hơn trong một thời gian, tuy cũng biết làm như thế là ảnh hưởng đến lời hứa của Trung Quốc về cắt giảm khí thải gây hiệu ứng nhà kính. Các chuyên gia, các công ty về quản lý năng lượng lớn thế giới đều dự báo Trung Quốc trong 5 năm tới vẫn phải dựa vào việc mở rộng các nhà máy điện chạy than, chứ không có cách nào khác cả. Ấn Độ cũng vậy. Còn những nước như Hàn Quốc và Nhật Bản trước tình hình hiện nay đều phải cho phép nâng lên tỷ lệ điện than.”  Theo nhận định của Discovery Alert, trang thông tin chuyên về khai thác mỏ trên thế giới, trong bài viết đăng ngày 13/04/2026, “không giống như các quốc gia phát triển có các nguồn năng lượng đa dạng và dự trữ chiến lược dồi dào, các nền kinh tế nhỏ hơn như Việt Nam thường phụ thuộc nhiều vào nhiên liệu nhập khẩu và thiếu tính linh hoạt về cơ sở hạ tầng để nhanh chóng chuyển đổi giữa các nguồn năng lượng trong trường hợp khẩn cấp về nguồn cung. Hơn nữa, các quốc gia này còn đối mặt với tác động của thị trường khí hóa lỏng (LNG) và sự biến động giá dầu, làm trầm trọng thêm tính dễ bị tổn thương của kinh tế.”  Discovery Alert ghi nhận việc Việt Nam dựa vào điện than khi chiến tranh Mỹ-Iran leo thang đã trở nên rõ nét trong tháng 3/2026, khi sản lượng điện than tăng vọt, chiếm 56% tổng sản lượng điện, mức cao nhất kể từ giữa năm 2025. Giáo sư Phạm Duy Hiển cho rằng trong thời gian tới, Việt Nam sẽ phải tiếp tục dựa nhiều vào điện than, vì các nguồn điện năng khác không đủ để đáp ứng nhu cầu: “Việt Nam hiện nay đã sống với điện than. Điện than bình thường chiếm tỷ lệ gần 50% công suất phát điện, cho nên Việt Nam cũng bị ảnh hưởng. Mà về điện than, Việt Nam phải đi mua thêm than của các nước như Indonesia và Trung Quốc, cụ thể là tháng 3 vừa rồi đã nhập đến mấy triệu tấn than. Dự kiến con số đó có thể sẽ phải tăng lên. Kinh phí để nhập khẩu than cũng lớn, nhưng bây giờ dầu sao thì vẫn hơn là không có. Cho nên tạm thời trong một thời gian phải sử dụng điện than và theo tôi nghĩ Việt Nam cũng chưa có cách nào khác. Còn nếu dựa vào những nguồn năng lượng khác, thì bây giờ nguồn năng lượng tái tạo cũng đã được khai thác khá nhiều rồi và cũng có tác dụng nhất định. Nhưng nguồn năng lượng này cũng hạn chế, không thể nâng lên nhiều hơn nữa.  Gần đây người nói nhiều về điện hạt nhân. Nếu có được thì điện hạt nhân sẽ là một giải pháp tương đối lớn để giải quyết vấn đề thiếu điện thay cho than. Đó là một loại năng lượng sạch. Thế nhưng chưa biết là bao giờ mới có thể đặt bút ký với một đối tác bên ngoài để cung cấp nhà máy điện hạt nhân cho mình. Từ thời điểm đó thì sau hàng chục năm nữa may ra mới có điện. Kinh nghiệm của Bangladesh cho thấy nước này bắt đầu có kinh phí để xây dựng và có các hợp đồng liên chính phủ là vào năm 2017. Nhưng tới cuối năm 2026 thì may ra mới có thể đưa điện lên lưới được. Gần đây thế giới cũng hô hào đẩy mạnh điện hạt nhân, nhưng điện hạt nhân đâu có dễ làm đối với Việt Nam cũng như đối với những nước khác . Đó không phải là một công nghệ có sẵn như than. Nhà máy điện chạy than thì quá là cổ điển rồi, mua về là có thể lắp đặt và cho chạy được ngay. Còn điện hạt nhân thì cần bao nhiêu thứ: cơ sở hạ tầng, năng lượng, nhiên liệu, an toàn….  Bây giờ có một hy vọng là khí thiên nhiên từ các mỏ khí mới được phát hiện được, sẽ giúp giải quyết vấn đề cân bằng năng lượng ở Việt Nam." Thế nhưng vấn đề là hiện nay công suất điện khí còn khiêm tốn của Việt Nam càng làm hạn chế các giải pháp thay thế trong thời kỳ khủng hoảng. Các nhà máy điện khí chỉ sản xuất được 2,1 TWh trong tháng 3 năm 2026, chiếm khoảng 7% tổng sản lượng điện. Hạn chế về cơ sở hạ tầng này có nghĩa là khí đốt tự nhiên không thể đóng vai trò cơ chế thay thế tức thời khi giá năng lượng nhập khẩu tăng vọt, hoặc khi nguồn cung bị gián đoạn.  Việt Nam cũng đang phải sản xuất than nhiều hơn để đáp ứng cho các nhà máy nhiệt điện. Theo báo chí trong nước, ngày 15/04, bộ Nông Nghiệp và Môi Trường đã đề nghị chính phủ cho phép tăng công suất khai thác than, cụ thể là cho phép khai thác vượt không quá 15% công suất đối với các giấy phép khai thác than đang còn hiệu lực, nhằm đảm bảo an ninh năng lượng quốc gia. Theo bộ này, “than trong nước tiếp tục giữ vai trò là nguồn năng lượng nền tảng và năng lực khai thác thực tế của các mỏ còn dư địa để tăng sản lượng”.  Nhà máy Nhiệt điện Vũng Áng II ở tỉnh Hà Tĩnh cũng vừa được khánh thành ngày 18/04. Đây là dự án hợp tác giữa Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, trong đó 60% cổ phần thuộc về các công ty Nhật Bản đứng đầu là tập đoàn Mitsubishi và 40% cổ phần thuộc về Tập đoàn Điện lực Hàn Quốc. Với tổng công suất hơn 1.300MW, Nhà máy Nhiệt điện Vũng Áng II được giới thiệu là sử dụng “công nghệ hiện đại nhất đối với các nhà máy nhiệt điện than tại Việt Nam”, làm giảm lượng tiêu hao nhiên liệu dẫn đến cắt giảm phát thải. Vấn đề đặt ra là phải làm sao hạn chế tác động của các nhà máy điện than đối với môi trường và khí hậu, bởi vì Việt Nam còn phải thực hiện những cam kết với quốc tế về chống biến đổi khí hậu. Giáo sư Phạm Duy Hiển ghi nhận: “Các nhà máy điện chạy than bây giờ cũng sử dụng những công nghệ tương đối là tiên tiến, tránh ô nhiễm môi trường. Ô nhiễm môi trường nay cũng đỡ một phần là bởi vì ngày xưa các nhà máy phát ra bừa bãi từ ống khói chứ bây giờ thì có những quy chế nhất định. Các khí thải từ nhà máy điện than thì cũng đã bắt đầu được xử lý để không gây ô nhiễm môi trường. Rồi còn phải xử lý những xỉ than. Lâu lâu thì vẫn thấy nói có ô nhiễm chỗ này chỗ khác, nhưng tôi chắc là dần dần rồi cũng phải giải quyết. Ô nhiễm ở chỗ nào thì người dân ở đó sẽ phản ảnh, các cơ quan có trách nhiệm phải giải quyết. Thực ra mà nói thì dùng điện than không chỉ làm tăng lượng khí CO2, mà còn có rất nhiều khí độc khác từ nhà máy điện than thải ra. Trung Quốc đã thành công trong vấn đề này, cho nên bắt đầu từ 2006, tức là cách đây đến 20 chục năm, họ đã có quyết định của nhà nước là bắt buộc giảm phát thải các cái khí độc từ các nhà máy điện chạy than. Và họ đã thành công nhiều, tức là giảm ô nhiễm khá nhiều. Thế thì bây giờ nếu sản lượng điện than nhiều quá, thì có lẽ cũng phải đề nghị nhà nước có một cách kiểm tra toàn diện, làm thế nào để các khí phát thải ô nhiễm, không chỉ CO2 và các khí ô nhiễm khác đều thấp, phù hợp với các tiêu chuẩn về môi trường ở Việt Nam."  Cũng theo chiều hướng đó, Việt Nam dự kiến sẽ đóng cửa các nhà máy điện than cũ trên 40 năm tuổi, nếu các nhà máy này không thể chuyển đổi sang sử dụng nhiên liệu sạch như hydrogen, amoniac xanh. Cụ thể, ngày 23/03, chính phủ Hà Nội đã phê duyệt "Đề án cập nhật triển khai tuyên bố chính trị thiết lập quan hệ đối tác chuyển đổi năng lượng công bằng" (JETP).   Sau năm 2030, chính phủ yêu cầu không xây mới nhà máy điện than, đồng thời đàm phán đóng cửa với các nhà máy có tuổi thọ trên 40 năm, không thể chuyển đổi nhiên liệu và không thể đáp ứng lộ trình giảm thải khí nhà kính.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast goes full EV this week, starting with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid. He says it's not dull, or bland, but NORMCORE, whatever that means. Well, let him explain! It seems to do everything it needs to and can maybe even out-do its crossover cousins across the Honda showroom in a few things, like, say fuel economy. It's an interesting review of a sedan when there's so few to choose from in the first place. Then Sami revisits the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid. Following Benjamin's positive impression of the Japanese crossover, Sami took it upon himself to compare it to the 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV, to find out if the Mitsubishi is actually good, or just good in a vacuum. Lots of surprises here! Then the show ends on a kind note from a listener. Thanks for listening!

The connections between Hong Kong and Japan began far earlier than many realise. Yet only recently has Hong Kong's historic Japanese community received the attention it deserves through Meiji Graves in Happy Valley: Stories of Early Japanese Residents in Hong Kong (Hong Kong UP, 2024). In this compelling book, Dr Yoshiko Nakano and Georgina Challen guide readers into the Meiji era, reconstructing history through the lives of ordinary people whose stories have long been overlooked. During our interview, Yoshio explained her desire to place this research within a broader East-West framework, a cross-cultural perspective reflected in her own collaboration and long-term friendship with Georgina. Perhaps the book's most moving aspect is the authors' compassion for Kiya Saki, a karayuki-san (sex worker) from Nagasaki who migrated to Hong Kong and later died by suicide. Yoshiko and Georgina spoke movingly about discovering her story. Like Saki, both have experienced life far from home and understand the challenges of building a life as a sojourner. Her tragic fate inspired them to investigate the lives of early Japanese residents through the meticulous study of 470 graves in Happy Valley. Beyond individual tragedies, the book reveals a diaspora divided by deep social tensions. While the Meiji state sought to project the image of a modern, civilised nation, the Japanese community in Hong Kong was effectively a ‘community of two halves'. Elite business figures, including Mitsubishi managers, existed alongside marginalised karayuki-san and boarding-house operators. Yet from this division emerged a remarkable story of solidarity. Through institutions, wealthier members of the community funded healthcare, financial assistance, and dignified burials for those in need. Driven by the necessity of mutual support in a foreign colonial port, they transformed a fragmented group of migrants into a resilient and organised community. This dynamic resonates with Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, which views the cemetery as a counter-site where distinctions of class, gender, and status dissolve. The Meiji graves vividly illustrate this reality. In death, social divisions that shaped everyday life become impossible to conceal: the graves of marginalised karayuki-san lie alongside those of the community's elite. Together, they offer a unique window into a history shaped by colonialism, human trafficking, global trade, and Japan's transformation into a world power. Richly narrated and grounded in extensive archival research, Meiji Graves in Happy Valley fills an important gap in the histories of both Hong Kong and Japan. By recovering the experiences of ordinary migrants, merchants, workers and sojourners, it reveals the human stories behind larger processes of migration, empire, and modernisation, offering a fresh perspective on the intertwined histories of Hong Kong and Japan. Yoshiko Nakano is a professor in the Department of International Design Management at Tokyo University of Science. She previously taught Japanese studies at the University of Hong Kong. Georgina Challen holds an MA in literary and cultural studies from the University of Hong Kong. Born in England, she grew up in Switzerland and has called Hong Kong home since 1990. Bing Wang receives her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2020. Her research interests include the exploration of overseas Chinese cultural identity and critical heritage studies.

AI-generated content is flooding the internet, making it harder for audiences to distinguish real from fake (deepfakes, AI-written articles, synthetic video/audio). People were already becoming skeptical of what they read on Google, websites, and social media, and now AI-content has driven consumer trust in online content to historic lows. For marketers, this means driving online leads and standing out as credible is much more difficult. In this episode, Katie and I talk about ways brand journalism and human-centered storytelling can help cut through the "AI Slop" by using things AI can't develop - real interviews, quotes, stats, anecdotes, and case studies. We also talk about how to approach this journalistic style of content creation in a way that facilitates meaningful connection. *About Katie Wagner: * Katie Wagner spent 15 years as a television and radio journalist, working for news outlets all over the world, including ABC, CBS, Fox, CNN & National Public Radio. As a professional storyteller, Katie knows how to engage an audience and build credibility, and she believes those skills are just as valuable for business owners as they are for journalists. Today, Katie owns a full-service digital marketing agency made up of journalists like herself.

Automate 2026 lands in Chicago next week, and Dave and Vlad break down how to work the show floor, where to network, and what to expect from their live booth demos.Automate is the largest automation trade show in North America, and a four day event rewards preparation. Dave and Vlad share tactics refined over five years of attending together. The floor opens at 10:00 AM on Monday, and registration lines have swung from a five minute wait to nearly two hours, so arriving early matters. Monday morning and Thursday are the quietest days to reach specific vendors, while Tuesday and Wednesday draw the heaviest crowds. The hosts also favor the official show app over a paper map for finding booths and session rooms across multiple halls.The real value of a show like Automate often lives in the networking. Dave points to the A3 networking event on Monday, a ticket of roughly 45 dollars, and the Manufacturing Champions happy hour on Tuesday organized by Chris Luckey and Jake Hall. Vlad's advice is structural: build a checklist before you arrive. He researches each company, finds the booth number, and tracks every connection in a spreadsheet so the week becomes a series of deliberate meetings instead of aimless wandering. For anyone with ten or more booths on their list, setting up meetings in advance is the highest leverage move you can make.The centerpiece of the conversation is the live demo Vlad built for the Teguar booth. It pairs a Rockwell CompactLogix PLC with an Ignition gateway running on a Teguar industrial PC, and it simulates a food and beverage packaging line with five assets: filler, capper, labeler, case packer, and palletizer. The line overview screen shows real machine states including faulted, starved, backed up, and running, and the whole point is to make the bottleneck visible. When the case packer needs six bottles from the labeler but the labeler cannot keep pace, you watch the downstream asset flip between starved and running in real time. It is a practical illustration of why line balancing and constraint analysis drive real ROI on a production floor.Under the hood the stack is modern. The Teguar IPC runs Ubuntu with Portainer managing containers for Ignition 8.3, Ignition 8.1, and a MariaDB database for alarm history. Ignition 8.3 ships new drivers for Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron controllers along with OPC and MQTT, and each asset carries ten randomized faults written in both Ignition and PLC logic. Vlad built it for everyone from engineers to the decision makers running SCADA and MES projects. Dave and Vlad will also shoot content at the Siemens booth on Tuesday and the Horner Automation booth on Wednesday, and Dave is moderating a Wednesday session on software defined automation and the factory of the future.Timestamps0:00 Welcome and Automate 2026 preview1:50 First timer tips and arriving early for registration3:10 Networking events worth attending: A3 and Manufacturing Champions4:40 Building a trade show checklist to maximize your time7:00 Manufacturing Hub at the Siemens and Horner booths9:50 Vlad's live production line demo at the Teguar booth15:40 The line overview screen and five packaging assets17:30 Fault handling and finding the bottleneck20:10 Inside the stack: Ubuntu, Portainer, Ignition, MariaDB23:50 Random fault simulation and PLC driver options27:00 Who should come see the demo29:40 Vendors Vlad is tracking and closing thoughtsReferencesAutomate 2026: https://www.automate.orgIgnition by Inductive Automation: https://inductiveautomation.comHorner Automation: https://hornerautomation.comAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

The connections between Hong Kong and Japan began far earlier than many realise. Yet only recently has Hong Kong's historic Japanese community received the attention it deserves through Meiji Graves in Happy Valley: Stories of Early Japanese Residents in Hong Kong (Hong Kong UP, 2024). In this compelling book, Dr Yoshiko Nakano and Georgina Challen guide readers into the Meiji era, reconstructing history through the lives of ordinary people whose stories have long been overlooked. During our interview, Yoshio explained her desire to place this research within a broader East-West framework, a cross-cultural perspective reflected in her own collaboration and long-term friendship with Georgina. Perhaps the book's most moving aspect is the authors' compassion for Kiya Saki, a karayuki-san (sex worker) from Nagasaki who migrated to Hong Kong and later died by suicide. Yoshiko and Georgina spoke movingly about discovering her story. Like Saki, both have experienced life far from home and understand the challenges of building a life as a sojourner. Her tragic fate inspired them to investigate the lives of early Japanese residents through the meticulous study of 470 graves in Happy Valley. Beyond individual tragedies, the book reveals a diaspora divided by deep social tensions. While the Meiji state sought to project the image of a modern, civilised nation, the Japanese community in Hong Kong was effectively a ‘community of two halves'. Elite business figures, including Mitsubishi managers, existed alongside marginalised karayuki-san and boarding-house operators. Yet from this division emerged a remarkable story of solidarity. Through institutions, wealthier members of the community funded healthcare, financial assistance, and dignified burials for those in need. Driven by the necessity of mutual support in a foreign colonial port, they transformed a fragmented group of migrants into a resilient and organised community. This dynamic resonates with Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, which views the cemetery as a counter-site where distinctions of class, gender, and status dissolve. The Meiji graves vividly illustrate this reality. In death, social divisions that shaped everyday life become impossible to conceal: the graves of marginalised karayuki-san lie alongside those of the community's elite. Together, they offer a unique window into a history shaped by colonialism, human trafficking, global trade, and Japan's transformation into a world power. Richly narrated and grounded in extensive archival research, Meiji Graves in Happy Valley fills an important gap in the histories of both Hong Kong and Japan. By recovering the experiences of ordinary migrants, merchants, workers and sojourners, it reveals the human stories behind larger processes of migration, empire, and modernisation, offering a fresh perspective on the intertwined histories of Hong Kong and Japan.

Jill and Tom open the show sharing news of a massive Jeep recall. Jeep has issued a "park-outside" warning for owners of many late-model Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators. Listen in for details. The hosts discuss Mitsubishi's new electric crossover, the Eclipse Sportback EV. Mitsubishi's first U.S.-market electric vehicle shares its basic architecture with the Nissan Leaf. Jill reviews the Mercedes-Benz E 53 Hybrid wagon. One of a waning number of true station wagons still offered in the U.S., the E 53 serves up power and tech, though exclusive pricing will keep the car a rare sight on U.S. roads. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Automotive News' Larry Vellequette to the show. Larry talks about Toyota quality issues, the Gordie Howe Bridge, and surprisingly robust U.S. auto sales. Listen in for some great insights. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Who is that Guy?" quiz. The hosts wrap up the show with a quick take on Ferrari's first-ever electric vehicle, the controversial Luce.

What's this? The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Electric Vehicle has zoomed onto the Unnamed Automotive Podcast for its review? Benjamin has plenty to talk about with this seriously refreshed compact crossover. Loaded with more range, a new interior and that same controversial third row, does this one of a kind PHEV make sense for today's buyers? And what is going on at Mitsubishi these days anyways? Then Sami talks quickly about the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70, before quickly going on a tangent about weird car features that haven't been perfected and what that means for a mature market like the automotive industry. Thanks for listening everyone!

Rear-view cameras that go dark, airbags that don't behave the way you expect, and screens that blank out at the worst time, that's where we start. We run through a packed list of new vehicle recalls and talk about what they mean in plain English: what's affected, why it matters, and the simple step every owner should take right now (hint: check your VIN and get on the schedule before it becomes a roadside story).From there, we jump into the most addictive kind of car talk: real auction results. We use Hemmings online sales to play “guess the price,” bouncing from a head-turning 1957 Cadillac Eldorado to a 1967 Corvette convertible, a clean two-door 1999 Tahoe, a vintage Land Rover, a 1955 Buick Super, and even a Cobra-style build. Along the way, we break down the collector car market signals that actually move the numbers like condition, originality, drivetrains, and why some “everyman” vehicles are suddenly not so cheap.We wrap with automotive news you can use: U.S. auto sales holding steady under inflation pressure, new global SUV launches and rebadging rumors, Mitsubishi's plan for a Nissan-sourced mid-size pickup, and a jaw-dropping story about an $80,000 Camaro stolen twice in five days. We also talk Toyota's sales dip as buyers wait for redesigns, the surge in hybrids, and why FTC warnings plus customer reviews are a smart early warning system for bait-and-switch dealer behavior.

Dirty Vegas were shot out of a cannon in 2002 when their song "Days Go By" was selected by Mitsubishi to soundtrack their new ad campaign. The song was everywhere and suddenly there was a culture shift with artists and their music as it relates to advertising. This gave Steve Smith from the band a career that's taken some unexpected turns, but has never let up. Dirty Vegas released a couple albums, then he went solo, and for the last several years he's been a member of Squeeze and is featured on their new album, Trixies, and on their current world tour. Dirty Vegas is still at it too, releasing new music in 2024. Steve lays out this journey for us this week. Enjoy!  www.stevesmithmusic.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

What does it actually mean to be a man in today's world? In this episode, I sit down with pastor, author, and leader Joby Martin for a conversation about biblical manhood, faith, leadership, parenting, and the challenges facing men today. Joby shares why so many men feel stuck between passivity and aggression, and how God's design offers a better path. We talk about what it means to lead your family well, stay engaged in your faith, find the right people to walk alongside you, and avoid letting success at work come at the expense of what matters most. We also tackle a topic many parents are wrestling with: youth sports. How do you balance competitive athletics, church, family, and faith without losing sight of what matters most? Joby offers practical wisdom for parents trying to navigate those tensions. Whether you're a husband, father, leader, or simply someone wanting to follow Jesus more faithfully in everyday life, this conversation is packed with encouragement, challenge, and practical wisdom for life between Sundays.

In this short podcast, Roman Baugh takes over with his new series, "The Deep End," where he shares tech support conversations. This time, Roman is on the other end of a live tech support call about a grounded compressor with an existing Mitsubishi mini-split (Mr. Slim heat pump). The unit in this case had an unclear service history due to the homeowner moving in recently. In this issue, the compressor kicked on and kicked off immediately. After the technician in this scenario told tech support that he had no continuity from the compressor to ground, tech support asked him to check the resistance (which was 43 ohms from black to ground and 43 from white to ground). Tech support concluded that the compressor was grounded, and it needed to be replaced (along with the PCB). However, the resistance disappeared mid-call, and intermittent resistance readings don't always indicate a failed winding; it's worth noting that cool ambient temperatures that enable liquid refrigerant to migrate into the compressor could potentially skew electrical readings. Roman recommended shutting the system down and trying to get the system to run. His rationale was that if the unit ran and didn't keep stopping, the system may have been overcharged or lacking a crankcase heater. However, that did not show any improvement in operation; the compressor rattled for about a second and shut off. A resistance test confirmed that the compressor was grounded, pointing to a mechanical issue with the compressor and not just a one-off instance of refrigerant migration. This type of failure can happen when there are repeated instances of liquid refrigerant in the crankcase over time.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Rhonda Sheeran of Fiber Creations about Pool Stars, a patented fiber-optic “stars in the pool floor” product with a 3D twinkling effect that appears on the pool bottom and reflects off the water surface. Rhonda describes her background in pool tile, renovation, plastering, and early fiber-optic lighting, and explains how Pool Stars use high-quality Mitsubishi fibers bundled from an LED RGBW/DMX-capable illuminator (no electricity in the water) through minimal piping, then distributed as single/double/triple fibers for varied brightness. She details installation steps, plaster/tile considerations, remodel approaches, distance limits (~90 feet), dimming and app/DMX control, use cases (sun shelves, decks, walls, star ceilings, countertops), quality cautions, and typical costs varying by star count and labor.   Discover more: https://www.fibercreations.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:12 Meet Rhonda Sheeran 02:18 Pool Stars Origin Story 05:55 How Pool Stars Work 10:35 Installation Step by Step 15:17 Remodels and Tile Pools 17:02 Safety and Equipment Setup 21:25 Customization and DMX Control 25:10 Creative Applications Beyond Pools 27:53 Finish Tips and Longevity 29:25 Podcast Legacy Story 30:29 Remodeling a Star Pool 32:19 Drones and Dimming Control 33:43 Why Quality Fiber Matters 35:25 Acrylic Windows and Placement 36:23 Star Ceilings Installation 39:11 Backlit Stone and Showers 41:16 Controllers Apps and Music Sync 44:21 Product Evolution and Install Tips 47:35 Durability Big Clients and Future 50:16 Cost Ranges and Design Options 52:19 Rapid Fire Guest Questions 54:20 Seeing It In Person and Wrap Up

¿Qué pasa si a dos bestias del Mundial de Rallyes de los noventa las sueltas en la calle? Hablamos de dos mitos irrepetibles: el Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI y el Subaru Impreza GT Turbo. #mitsubishi #subaru #coches Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join Ambos nacieron por una bendita norma del reglamento del Grupo A, que obligaba a los fabricantes a vender al público al menos dos mil quinientos coches de calle para poder competir en los tramos. Así se forjaron estas auténticas locuras de la tracción total. Por un lado, el Mitsubishi es una obra de ingeniería aeroespacial. Su motor superaba los 300 caballos reales, pero su verdadera magia estaba en su diferencial trasero inteligente. Era un cerebro electrónico capaz de empujar el morro del coche hacia el vértice de la curva desafiando la física. Es un coche violento, salvaje y rapidísimo. Al otro lado, el Subaru. Con su característico motor bóxer de centro de gravedad bajísimo y su tracción simétrica. Al arrancarlo, su sonido profundo te enamora. Es un coche mucho más analógico, predecible y amable de conducir. Si cometes un error, desliza suavemente y siempre te bajas sonriendo. Dos leyendas absolutas del motor. ¿Tú con cuál te quedas, con la precisión de cirujano del Evo o con la nobleza del Impreza?

In this episode of Space Cafe Radio, host Torsten Kriening, Publisher of SpaceWatch.Global, sits down with Marshall Smith, CEO of Starlab Space, at the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. The conversation reconnects a story that began in Bremen back in 2018, when Marshall was wiring together SLS, Orion, and Gateway at NASA, and now finds him on the other side, building the commercial future he once championed from inside the agency.From NASA Insider to Commercial BuilderMarshall reflects on his transition from NASA, where he was always "commercial at heart" - pushing the system to go faster, do things differently, and question whether all those requirements were truly necessary. Now leading Starlab, he gets to put those convictions into action.The Time is Now for Commercial LEO"Now's the time to turn over Low Earth Orbit to commercial enterprise."After 54 years of space stations and more than two decades of permanent crewed presence on the ISS, the industry has learned enough. The technology readiness is there. The standards are there. The time has come for commercial enterprise to take over LEO so NASA can focus on the harder things- Moon, Mars, and beyond.Where Starlab Stands TodayMarshall reveals concrete progress: Starlab is past Critical Design Review with NASA (completed in December), in manufacturing, building structures, with long-lead items in process. They're roughly five to six years into the typical six-to-ten-year development cycle for a complex space vehicle. Some say they haven't hit the hard part yet, but Marshall responds: "We have the capability, we have the experience. Eyes wide open."The Real Gap RiskThe ISS retires around 2030. China's space station is operational today. Marshall is candid about the leaks, the aging equipment, the obsolete components, and the uncertainty about whether extension to 2030 or 2032 will be possible. Starlab's launch target is 2029 - and they intend to be there before the gap opens.Recreating the ISS Partnership - CommerciallyStarlab is a joint venture with Voyager as majority shareholder, joined by Airbus, Mitsubishi, MDA, Palantir, and Hilton -a multinational structure that recreates the ISS partnership at a commercial and business level. The same companies that built parts of the ISS are now building the commercial successor.Starship as the Launch PlanMarshall explains why he's not worried: Starship has already been to orbit, and Starlab only needs to reach orbit and deploy - no Moon landing required. By the time Starlab launches, Starship will likely be on its seventh version.The Manufacturing VisionMarshall hints at semiconductor manufacturing, biopharma, pill production, fiber optics, and a proprietary concept that could revolutionize the pace of in-orbit manufacturing. He predicts the demand will be so great that companies might want their own dedicated Starlab modules - and that copies could be built in roughly one to two years.The iPhone Moment for Space Stations"In 2007, somebody built a platform called an iPhone. It had a few games, didn't even do FaceTime. Now you can't walk around without your phone. CLDs are platforms. Ten years after operations begin, you're going to see things you would've never imagined - maybe ordering a replacement heart tuned to your DNA, printed in space."On Artemis 2Having been involved in Artemis 1 and 2 at NASA, Marshall shares his personal joy at the mission's success. For him, it's a signal to the world that humanity is going back to deep space, to the Moon's surface, building Moon bases, going to Mars.The Bigger Mission"It's about becoming a multi-planet species. Maybe one day becoming a multi-stellar species. I know that sounds crazy to some people. That's why I do this. Because I don't want to see us being here locked on this planet a thousand years from now."Marshall draws the parallel to the 1400s - when explorers asked "what if we cross this big body of water?" - and now humans are asking the same question about the void of vacuum. The exploration accelerates. We were built for this.For Listeners Who Think BigThis is a conversation about commercial space stations, the urgency of LEO transition, the iPhone-platform future of orbital manufacturing, and what it means to become a multi-planet species.Space Café Radio brings you talks, interviews, and reports from the team of SpaceWatchers while out on the road.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1359: Mitsubishi is jumping back into the pickup market with help from Nissan, a supplier strike threatens GM's truck production at a critical moment, and the internet-famous F-250 robins have finally left the nest, clearing the way for one very patient delivery.Show Notes with links:Mitsubishi is heading back into the U.S. pickup truck market for the first time in nearly two decades, teaming up with Nissan on a midsize truck while also reviving the iconic Pajero/Montero SUV.Mitsubishi will launch a U.S.-built midsize pickup sourced from Nissan, likely tied to the next-generation Frontier platform expected later this decade.The truck marks Mitsubishi's return to the segment after discontinuing the Raider pickup following the 2010 model year.The strategy is part of a three-step U.S. revival plan: expand off-road offerings, enter new segments through Nissan partnerships, and grow the dealer network with urban satellite stores.Mitsubishi is also reviving the Pajero (Montero) SUV this fall, building it on the Triton pickup platform and creating an entire family of Pajero-branded vehicles.“We will prioritize restoring profitability and work to turn the business around through brand strengthening and product strategies.” — Mitsubishi President Keisuke SugiuraA labor dispute at American Axle is putting pressure on one of GM's most important profit centers. Nearly 1,000 UAW workers have walked off the job, threatening the supply of axles used in Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, and Canyon pickups just as GM ramps up truck production.UAW members at American Axle's Three Rivers, Michigan plant began striking after contract talks broke down over wages and mandatory overtime.Workers say they are still living with wage cuts accepted during the 2008 financial crisis, with many production employees topping out around $22 per hour despite years of strong supplier profits.The plant produces critical axles for GM's full-size and midsize pickups, giving the strike potential to impact some of the automaker's most profitable vehicles.Timing is especially challenging for GM as it looks to capitalize on Ford's pickup production constraints and growing competition from Ram, whose truck sales are up 23% this year.“For 18 years, these members have built you an empire of profit, while getting treated like dirt.” — UAW President Shawn Fain.Remember the F-250 that became a federally protected bird sanctuary? The robins have officially left the nest, the truck can finally head to its new owner, and the dealership's unexpected wildlife story turned into an international feel-good headline.Lugnut, Axle, Diesel and Turbo officially flew away last week, ending a month-long delivery delay for the customer's F-250.What started as a quirky dealership story ended up earning coverage from The New York Times, People, The Guardian, Automotive News and even Ford's corporate media channels.Olathe Ford-Lincoln leaned into the moment, giving the birds names, posting updates, and turning a routine vehicle delivery into a viral community story.The customer, a construction company, never pressured the dealership and agreed to let nature take its course before taking delivery.“The new owners said they were in no hurry to get the truck and the robins could finish raising their family.” — Diane Johnson, Executive Director, Operation WildLife.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What happens when you strip the covers off two "completely different" CNC machines and find the exact same frame, the same gantry, and the same components from the same overseas factory — just with different stickers? In this episode of Talkin' Shop with ShopSabre, Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters break down the private label import CNC machine cycle — how one Chinese factory builds a single CNC router or plasma table design, distributes it to dozens of companies worldwide, and each one slaps on their own logo, picks a paint color, and markets it as their own proprietary product. If you've ever wondered why two machines from two different brands look almost identical once you strip them down, this episode explains exactly how that works and why it matters to your shop. Brandon answers a direct viewer question: what specifically makes a ShopSabre CNC worth more than an import? The answer starts with who builds it — ShopSabre designs, engineers, and assembles every CNC router, plasma table, and fiber laser in Lakeville, Minnesota, using brand-name components from Mitsubishi and Yaskawa that you can identify, source, and replace independently. It continues with 26 years of domestic parts stocking, same-time-zone technical support, and a track record where the very first ShopSabre machine ever built is still running today. You'll also hear a customer story from a 75-year-old retired cabinetmaker with 60 years of experience who ordered a ShopSabre Pro 408 CNC router — and calls it the best machine he could have ever hoped for. That's the kind of long-term result that private label imports with aggressive launch marketing and influencer partnerships can't manufacture. Whether you run a cabinet shop, sign business, or fabrication operation, this episode will change the way you evaluate CNC equipment — and remind you that the cheapest machine to buy is rarely the cheapest machine to own. Hit play before your next purchase decision.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1349: Today we talk about Mitsubishi cutting weak dealers while betting on a product comeback, the growing FTC pressure pushing vendors toward all-in pricing transparency, and Pizza Hut discovering the hottest new trend in retail… 1990s nostalgia complete with red cups and Pac-Man.Mitsubishi is shrinking its dealer network while promising a future product comeback. The brand has cut underperforming stores, frustrated some retailers with low profits and aging products, but says a new EV and refreshed lineup could turn things around.Mitsubishi's U.S. dealer count has dropped 16% since 2019, falling from 355 stores to just under 300 today.CEO Mark Chaffin says the strategy is “quality over quantity,” replacing low-volume stores with higher-performing operators expected to sell 3-5x more vehicles.Dealers say profits are razor thin, with many relying on used cars to stay afloat while struggling with an aging lineup and heavy fleet sales.Mitsubishi is betting on its “Momentum 2030” plan, including a new electric crossover this fall and several electrified models through 2030.One frustrated dealer summed it up bluntly: “Eventually Mitsubishi may get there with the new product, but it's going to have to commit more to the U.S. if it wants to do well here.”As regulators tighten the screws on vehicle pricing transparency, vendors are racing to help dealers stay compliant. S&P Global Mobility and TrueCar both rolled out new tools designed to simplify fee disclosures, standardize pricing, and avoid FTC headaches before they become lawsuits.S&P Global Mobility launched “FeeSync,” a free industrywide tool that lets dealers update fees across vendors and marketplaces from one central hub.The push comes as the FTC continues sending warning letters to nearly 100 dealer groups over pricing and advertising practices.TrueCar updated its platform to display all-in pricing upfront, including dealer fees and add-ons, with expandable disclosures for shoppers.TrueCar CEO Scott Painter said the platform's goal is “a transactional price that is good for both the dealer and the car buyer upfront, without negotiation.”Pizza Hut is leaning hard into retro vibes, remodeling stores to look like peak-1990s dine-in restaurants complete with Pac-Man, stained-glass lamps, and those iconic red cups. Turns out millennials will absolutely drive three hours for a little childhood comfort food.Since 2019, Pizza Hut has converted 144 locations into “Pizza Hut Classics” with throwback décor and dine-in experiences.Some remodeled stores are now top performers, with customers traveling long distances just to relive the experience.The nostalgia push comes as Pizza Hut closes underperforming locations while rival Domino's continues expanding aggressively.Pizza Hut is also reviving its legendary “BOOK IT!” reading program, rewarding kids with pizza for summer reading goals.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams sits down with respected automotive leader Milt Whitesides from SS Auto and Cycle Brokers for a conversation that goes far beyond selling cars. What actually separates average dealerships from elite-performing stores? Is it inventory, traffic, advertising, or is it something much deeper happening inside the culture, leadership, and daily habits of the dealership itself? "Average never creates extraordinary." – LA Williams With decades of experience leading high-performing dealerships, building winning teams, and transforming store operations, Milt shares powerful insight into the mindset, structure, and discipline required to create long-term dealership success. "Serve your team, serve your leaders, and serve your guests. That's what makes the big difference." – Milt Whitesides This episode explores why leadership matters more than ever in today's automotive industry, how process consistency impacts profitability, and why culture is often the hidden factor behind both dealership growth and dealership failure. Without giving away the full blueprint, LA and Milt touch on the power of accountability, communication, relationship-building, inventory strategy, and the shift from traditional dealership operations to a more modern, intentional approach. "Mindset creates everything. If you think you're a 40-car-a-day store, you're a 40-car-a-day store." – Milt Whitesides If you're a dealer principal, GM, manager, or automotive professional looking to elevate your dealership beyond average performance, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, culture, and operational excellence. Remember, the great dealerships are not built by accident. They are built by intention!   Key Takeaways: ✅ The transformation from average to elite dealership performance hinges on a disciplined approach to leadership, process execution, and fostering a positive culture. ✅ Building strong customer relationships should be prioritized over traditional, transactional approaches, integrating service-minded principles throughout the dealership. ✅ Setting and sticking to systematic daily habits, such as the 'morning five,' can substantially impact personal and professional growth within the automotive industry. ✅ Developing a comprehensive acquisition strategy that goes beyond relying on auctions is crucial for sustainable used-car inventory management. ✅ Fostering a service-oriented culture requires ongoing mentorship, relationship building, and aligning everyday activities with overarching dealership goals.   About Milt Whitesides Milt Whitesides, a seasoned veteran in the automotive industry with over 35 years of experience, has held pivotal roles such as General Sales Manager, General Manager, and Managing Partner. He is renowned for his expertise in dealership leadership, culture development, and volume enhancement. His innovative strategies have been recognized with numerous accolades, including awards from FCA Stellantis, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Milt's leadership at Sanderson Ford has been instrumental in achieving a groundbreaking sale of 734 units, making him a leading authority on high-performance dealership operations.      Unlocking Success in Car Sales: The Importance of Leadership, Culture, and Execution   Key Takeaways Transformational leadership and culture are essential for high-performing car dealerships. Successful execution in car sales relies heavily on systems that save stress, time, energy, and money. Effective team building and relationship management directly impact dealership performance and culture.   Transformational Leadership: Driving Change in Car Dealerships In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, old-school tactics are being replaced by transformational leadership, emphasizing relationship building over intimidation and fear. "They just used to beat it into us, right? They just used fear and intimidation," reflects Milt Whitesides, shedding light on an outdated model no longer effective in today's market. Now, building relationships and demonstrating leadership by example are crucial. The shift highlights the need for leaders to engage directly and personally with their teams, showing team members that they're committed to the same goals and willing to "do any of the things that you're coaching, you're willing to do and show them how to do it." Such engagement fosters a culture where employees aren't just workers, but integral parts of a larger vision, contributing significantly to the dealership's overall success.   Systematic Execution: Creating a Blueprint for Success Systems in car sales aren't just about maintaining order; they're about creating consistent, scalable success. As LA Williams aptly states, "Systems save you stress, time, energy, and money." This philosophy highlights the necessity for dealerships to adopt robust processes that ensure every member of the team understands their role and the steps needed to achieve their goals. Incorporating structured training programs for both sales staff and managers ensures everyone is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed for their roles. Milt Whitesides emphasizes the importance of thorough, hands-on training, stating, "We're coaching, we're training, we're mentoring, we're motivating, we're inspiring." This comprehensive approach ensures that processes are not just guidelines, but actionable, effective strategies that elevate performance across the board. The execution of such systems inevitably leads to improved sales outcomes, as demonstrated by dealerships achieving extraordinary sales figures, like 734 units. This level of performance isn't accidental; it's the result of consistent application of systems and processes designed to optimize every facet of sales operations.   Relationship Building: Fostering a Culture of Excellence The success of a dealership heavily depends on the relationships forged within its walls. Whitesides elaborates on the transition from a transactional mindset to one focusing on relationships, not just with customers, but within teams as well. "For me, it's about relationships now," he states, indicating a paradigm shift necessary in modern dealerships. To bridge the gap between average and exceptional, Whitesides suggests serving the team members and customers becomes the priority. "You serve them," he advises, underscoring how an attitude of service permeates every interaction, creating a cohesive and motivated workforce. This approach yields a twofold benefit — it enhances customer experience and bolsters internal morale, aligning everyone's efforts towards achieving common goals. The implications of such relationship-focused efforts are manifold. Dealerships become welcoming environments where employees thrive, leading to higher customer satisfaction and, ultimately, increased profitability and market share. In the dynamic world of automotive sales, success hinges on effective leadership, rigorous execution of systems, and strong relationship management. By shifting towards transformational leadership, instilling systematic execution through training, and fostering a culture where relationships are prioritized, dealerships can achieve unprecedented success. Embracing these changes positions them to not only compete but excel in a market where customer expectations and competitive pressures are continually rising. Such strategic realignment and commitment to innovation can transform dealerships into industry leaders.      Resources + Our Proud Sponsors:   ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

This week on Life Between Sundays, I sat down with Tim Ross for one of the most honest and needed conversations I've had on the podcast. We talked about peace, pressure, leadership, burnout, vulnerability, and what it looks like to stay human while serving others. Tim shared openly about the rhythms that have helped him slow down, protect his family, and refuse to let success define him. From putting his phone on "Do Not Disturb" for three years to saying "home is the win," this conversation challenged me deeply. We also went into some heavier but incredibly important topics - silence, temptation, mental health, therapy, pastoral pressure, and why vulnerability might actually be one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. There were multiple moments in this conversation where I honestly felt like I was in a counseling session myself.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed, restless, stretched thin, or just trying to hold it all together, I think this episode will meet you right where you are.

VOV1 - Theo giới chuyên môn Hàn Quốc, sau khi phương châm thực hiện Ba nguyên tắc chuyển giao vũ khí – khí tài quân sự của Nhật Bản ra nước ngoài được sửa đổi, sự hiện diện và sức cạnh tranh của nước này trên thị trường công nghiệp quốc phòng thế giới sẽ tăng lên đáng kểTheo các chuyên gia Hàn Quốc, sức cạnh tranh của Nhật Bản đã rất cao, ngay từ trước khi việc xuất khẩu vũ khí của nước này được “cởi trói” bằng việc sửa đổi phương châm thực hiện Ba nguyên tắc chuyển giao vũ khí – khí tài quân sự ra nước ngoài. Bằng chứng là chiến thắng của Nhật Bản trong cuộc cạnh tranh liên quan dự án tàu hộ tống của Australia với quy mô 1.100 tỷ Yên (tương đương khoảng 7,3 tỷ USD).Từ năm 2024, hai “ông lớn” trong công nghiệp đóng tàu của Hàn Quốc là HD Hyundai và Hanwha Ocean đã dồn lực tham gia cuộc đua, nhưng kết quả là Australia đã lựa chọn tàu khu trục đa năng thế hệ mới lớp Mogami do Tập đoàn Công nghiệp nặng Mitsubishi của Nhật Bản thiết kế - chế tạo, thông qua một hợp đồng mới được ký kết giữa tháng Tư vừa qua.Ngoài công nghiệp đóng tàu, ngành hàng không quân dụng Nhật Bản, với các máy bay chiến đấu thế hệ mới và các vũ khí dẫn đường có độ chính xác vượt trội… cũng được coi là “thế mạnh khó vượt qua”. Các chuyên gia Hàn Quốc dẫn việc Nhật Bản đang hợp tác cùng Anh, Italy nghiên cứu – phát triển một dòng máy bay chiến đấu thệ hệ mới và việc Nhật Bản có trình độ công nghệ đủ để sản xuất hệ thống phòng không đánh chặn tên lửa tầm xa không kém gì hệ thống Patriot, để chứng minh cho nhận định trên.Các doanh nghiệp công nghiệp quốc phòng Hàn Quốc cũng nhận định, trong ngắn hạn, nước này vẫn duy trì được ưu thế ở phân khúc vũ khí – khí tài mặt đất với những thương hiệu nổi tiếng thế giới như xe tăng K2, pháo tự hành K9, thiết giáp K808…, cũng như sức cạnh tranh với máy bay chiến đấu đa năng KF-21, hệ thống phòng thủ tên lửa Sky Bow II…, nhưng trong trung hạn, Nhật Bản sẽ nổi lên với tư cách một đối thủ đáng gờm của các cường quốc xuất khẩu vũ khí trên thế giới.Các chuyên gia thị trường công nghiệp quốc phòng cũng nhận định, ngoài sức cạnh tranh về lợi ích kinh tế trên thị trường quốc phòng, sự hiện diện của các vũ khí – khí tài quân sự với trình độ công nghệ rất cao của Nhật Bản, đặc biệt là tàu chiến và máy bay chiến đấu các loại, thậm chí còn có khả năng làm thay đổi cục diện và cán cân sức mạnh quân sự ở nhiều khu vực trên thế giới./.VOV Nhật BảnTiêm kích F2 của Nhật Bản.

For decades, the world saw Japanese cars as just efficient, economical daily commuters. Then the 1990s hit, and Japan unleashed a lineup of obsessively engineered racing monsters that completely stunned the established European and American giants. Backed by the limitless budgets of the nation's economic "bubble era," Japanese engineers were given the ultimate green light to overbuild their machines without worrying about the cost.From Subaru and Mitsubishi conquering unforgiving rally dirt, to Mazda's unbreakable rotary engine surviving Le Mans, and Nissan's R32 "Godzilla" destroying the Australian touring circuit—Japan didn't just show up to compete. They took over.Discover how these manufacturers stopped being seen as the "optimistic little brother," rewrote the racing rulebooks, and became the ultimate global benchmark.This episode is brought to you by QUO.

A $5,500 Cadillac Fleetwood. A $39,900 Pontiac Catalina convertible. A clean 2007 GMC bringing nearly $20K. We jump into the week's most eyebrow-raising Hemmings sold results and talk through what those numbers say about the collector car market right now, from big-body comfort cruisers to classics that keep climbing. If you've been wondering what your project is really worth or what it'll cost to buy your next toy, these comps are the kind of reality check you can actually use.Then we get into the bigger automotive news story that's starting to feel real again: sedans. With average new car transaction prices pushing past $50,000 and fuel economy rules reshaping how vehicles are categorized, automakers are looking hard at the “underserved” car buyer. We talk GM rumors of a Buick sedan tied to the next Cadillac CT5 and Chevy Camaro platform, Stellantis floating a new car under $30K, Ford's “never say never” posture, and even Infiniti and Mitsubishi signaling a return to four-door options. We also bring it home with the day-to-day side of the debate: do you truly need an SUV, or do you just need a smart, comfortable sedan?We wrap with our Texas cruise-in and events calendar, plus a blunt look at why dealership service departments are losing ground to quick lube shops, even when some newer vehicles come with “free” maintenance. If you care about value, convenience, and keeping your ride in shape, you'll want to hear this part.Subscribe for more award-winning car talk, share this with a friend who's shopping for a car, and leave a review so more drivers can find us.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday with 50K Fuellette, giving callers $100 fuel and spinning the wheel for a shot at $5,000 and potentially $50,000, with near-misses landing close to Mitsubishi and then on Tesla. They choose Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” for the 6AM throwback, discuss libraries, markets, and Bay of Plenty overtaking Auckland in per-capita cocaine use. Dan’s Diary reveals teenage antics involving fireworks and “mince envelope.” Meg vents about Guy delaying windscreen wipers and shares a list of pet peeves, while listeners add theirs. The show checks Coachella highlights, crosses to Swedish reporter Sven for a tense Justin Bieber encounter, and revisits Meg’s viral reflections on long-distance friendships and missed milestones before launching “Rumor Has It” investigations. 00:00 Monday Kickoff Banter01:29 6AM Throwback Debate04:54 Weekend Recap and Libraries09:30 Scandal12:09 Naughty 6:4021:25 Fuellette23:59 Best Flatmate Names Game31:50 Windscreen Wiper Mystery37:02 One Direction Doc Drama37:48 Men Habits List43:52 Coachella Highlights46:44 Sven LIVE from Coachella49:16 Fuellette51:47 Long Distance Besties01:01:05 Dan Diary Fireworks01:04:52 Rumor Has It Hotline

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jason Van Ruler for a conversation that honestly challenged me in the best way. We talk all about communication. Not just what we say, but why we say it, and how understanding our communication style can completely change the way we relate to others.   We walk through the five communication types and how it can shape us as leaders, friends, partners - everything. More than anything, this episode reminded me that better communication leads to better relationships, and that real success looks a lot more like surrender than striving.   Order Jason's New Book: https://a.co/d/08B0KV29    Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode:  Vern Eide Motorcars is a growing employee-owned company that offers sales, service, and financing of automotive, motorcycle, and power sports lines, including Acura, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Honda, Hyundai and Mitsubishi brands.

In this episode, I sit down with Al Gordon to talk about what God is doing right now, from a growing hunger for faith to a renewed call to prayer and preparation in the Church. We also dive into creativity - why it's not just for a few, but part of who we are as people made in God's image, and why it matters more than ever in today's world. This conversation challenged me to stay close to Jesus and not miss the moment we're in. Because following Him isn't just about Sundays. It's about how we live every day in our life between Sundays.   Resources: Al Gordon: Ignite Your God-Given Creativity: https://a.co/d/0hSPqImZ   Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode:  First Interstate Bank has a mission to help people and their money work better together.

In this episode, I sit down with Preston Sprinkle.. We cover a lot of ground. From his story and deep love for Scripture to some of the most complex and often controversial topics in the Church today, including sexuality, gender, and women in leadership.   But more than anything, this isn't about quick answers or winning arguments. It's about slowing down, asking better questions, and remembering that behind every topic is a real person with a real story. Preston brings both clarity and compassion as we talk through what the Bible says, why it matters, and how we can hold truth without losing our humanity. Whether you're wrestling with these topics yourself or walking alongside someone who is, my hope is that this conversation helps you lean in with curiosity, humility, and love.
