Nossa insistência para que todos invistam tempo para ler, meditar e estudar as Escrituras Sagradas não é um simples capricho, mas uma necessidade fundamental. Na Bíblia nós aprendemos que o Senhor é bom e fiel e, por isso, podemos ter esperança. Sem a Escritura nossa vida carece de sentido e esperança, pois tudo que nos cerca é frágil e incapaz de nos dar segurança e esperança. Leia, medite e estude as Escrituras e tenha esperança.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US accepts its conditions. So, stalemate there. However, financial markets are kind of shrugging off these risks. Pakistan claims both sides are still talking however. First up today, the overnight dairy Pulse auction brought a stabilisation in prices with the powders rising about +2% and the milk fats little-changed from last week's full dairy auction. In the US, the ADP weekly jobs monitoring of private payrolls continues to slide, and is under +10,000 and its lowest level since the Christmas holiday season. US existing home sales fell -1.7% in July from June, to be now just +1.7% higher than year-ago levels. US household debt data shows it having topped out with the June quarter lower than the March quarter, which itself was lower than the December 2025 year end level. This is essentially because standard mortgage debt levels fell. But home equity loans rose, as did credit card debt, and car loans. Delinquency rates for credit card debt and car loans remained elevated but didn't get worse in this Q3-2026 data. Sentiment in the US SME sector rose in July, but only back to levels that it had prior to the start of Trump's war on Iran. It is now little different to levels they had from the start of 2025 until March 2026. Eyes are now turning to tomorrow's US inflation data for July. This is expected to stay high at 3.4% and only marginally lower than June's 3.5% and as such it will put pressure on the Warsh-led Fed to move to get inflation back into its policy band around 2%. There seems little likelihood of any progress without some policy action. Across the Pacific, Singapore's economy grew +5.9% in Q2-2026, slowing from a +6.3% expansion in Q1 which was their strongest annual growth since Q3-2024. But this latest updated exceeded advance estimates of a +5.7% expansion. In Malaysia, industrial production slowed again in June and is now 'only' +6.5% higher than year ago levels. It was +8.3% higher on that basis in the month before. But their factory production was up almost +10% on the year-ago basis and that is an accelerating rate. It has been their mining sector that is the one that is falling away. In Australia, the rebound in business confidence as tracked in the influential NAB survey stalled in July as Middle East uncertainty and oil price volatility continued to weigh on sentiment. Meanwhile business conditions showed signs of stabilising after weakening earlier in the year. A Westpac survey for the same period showed the same thing. The RBA has left its cash rate target at 4.35% as widely expected. But is has raised expectations that hikes could come soon if inflation does not retreat in the way they want, but only if market conditions don't move first as they need. One thing they do expect is lower house prices and that will help the affordability crisis. Abd we should probably note that aluminium prices are on the rise again. Although not back to their record high levels in early June, they have shifted sharply up in the past week, perhaps due to their central role in the US-Canada trade discussions. It is a key card Canada holds over the US. Trump's punitive 50% tariffs on Canada are due to kick in on August 20 (NZT). The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.69%, dipping -1 bp from this time yesterday but essentially holding its new level. The price of gold is holding at US$4366/oz, up merely +US$2 from yesterday. Silver has dipped -50 USc at just over US$64.50/oz. Oil prices are up +US$1.50 from yesterday at just under US$83.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just under US$89/bbl. Hormuz transits are still very low. There have been two crude tankers and only 1 cargo ships exiting over the past 24 hours (1 dark with transponders off) and seven entering for new loads (3 dark), again all Iran-linked. The Red Sea activity is where the focus is shifting and still low with less than 20 either way at the Yemen chokepoint. The Kiwi dollar is essentially unchanged from yesterday at just over 58.8 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at 83.3 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.5 which is unchanged from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,563 and down a -0.5% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has also been low at just on +/-0.8%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news rising oil prices are reigniting inflation concerns and even equity investors have noticed. Bond investors have bid up benchmark bond rates. The Fed next has to deal with this risk in just over a month, but that investors are moving now indicates the heightened concern that Trump's quagmire isn't getting resolved anytime soon. Certainly, his promise of a deal with Iran "very soon", has vanished. Meanwhile, the Yemeni Houthis have struck Saudi related tankers and hit a Saudi oil refinery. So, the conflict is spreading. Markets have reacted as though they expect inflation to rise from here. In Japan, their official 'economy watchers' July survey is signaling continued improvement, especially in their services sector. These survey results took a sharp tumble when the US attacked Iran and the Strait of Hormuz was shuttered. But since then it has climbed back as time has shown that most of the world has adapted effectively, and that includes Japan. Strong exports and a weaker currency have helped. You may recall the recent deadly earthquake in the historic city of Kumamoto. But that hasn't stopped Sony and Taiwan's TSMC announcing yesterday a US$6.3 bln new joint investment into an advanced image sensor plant there. Nikkei has the details. Indonesia's consumer confidence fell in July from June to its lowest level since April 2025 although still in positive territory. The moderation was largely driven by weaker assessments of current economic conditions. And staying in Indonesia, their government has appointed the long-experienced deputy central bank governor to the top position made vacant by the President firing him, foregoing the opportunity to appoint the daughter of the President. This will reassure financial markets that some Turkish-like instability is being avoided. In Australia, bank shares are took a beating yesterday, with Westpac down -5.9%, CBA down -2.1%, ANZ down -1.7% and NAB down -2.4%. The reason is a Westpac Q3 market update that shows their mortgage applications down -11% in the period and are running down -20% following their Federal Budget. Almost all of this fall away is because residential investors are pulling back because the expectation of capital gains is vanishing. Westpac says investor "credit growth" will fall from +9.1% this year to about +4.5% in the next two years. They expect little change in demand by owner occupiers. And don't forget there is an RBA monetary policy review later today. No-one expects any official rate change, but given the high and sticky inflation levels, there will be a lot of interest in their analysis of why they aren't moving to quash it. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.70%, up +4 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold has risen to US$4364/oz, up +US$21 from yesterday. Silver has risen +US$1.50 at just over US$65/oz. Oil prices are up +US$4 from yesterday at just under US$82/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just under US$87.50/bbl, Hormuz transits have dried right up. There have been no crude tankers and only 2 cargo ships exiting over the past 24 hours (0 dark with transponders off) and five entering for new loads (1 dark), again all Iran-linked. The Red Sea activity is where the focus is shifting and still low with less than 20 either way at the Yemen chokepoint. The Kiwi dollar is down -10 bps from yesterday at just over 58.8 USc. Against the Aussie we are little-changed at 83.4 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 62.5 which is down -10 bps from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,860 and down a full -2.0% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest however at just on +/-1.2%.

Nabídce neodolají hlavně rodiny s dětmi. Králíci jsou na farmě ve třech velkých kotcích.
A career without a plan can still take you somewhere remarkable. Meg Bonighton walked into an ANZ call centre at twenty-something looking for nine-to-two work so she could finish her university degree. Sixteen years later she was still there, having led the relaunch of internet banking, built a direct banking brand through a global financial crisis, and closed that same brand with every customer and every team member placed safely on the other side. Then she left. Then she proved herself again at NAB, then Telstra, then the Commonwealth Bank. Now she is doing something that has required its own kind of courage: building something with only her own name on it. This conversation is about what it actually takes to say yes before you feel ready, lead through the moments that test everything, and know when it is time to pack up the kit bag and start again. The Guest Meg Bonighton spent more than two decades in senior executive roles across ANZ, NAB, Telstra and the Commonwealth Bank, working across governance, risk, digital transformation and customer strategy in some of the most complex and scrutinised environments in Australian business. She has led thousands of people through a global financial crisis and a pandemic, sat on boards through both, and built a reputation for creating teams that outlast the moment that made them. She is now stepping into her third arc as a non-executive director and advisor, and starting to give back what a career of saying yes has given her. Highlights The Nine-to-Two Job That Changed Everything. Meg took a part-time call centre role at ANZ to balance finishing her degree. It was meant to last a semester. On a Friday afternoon a few years in, a manager told her he had something for her on Monday and that she was going to say no, but she shouldn't. She spent the entire weekend anxious. The project was the relaunch of ANZ's internet banking. She said yes. That habit of saying yes to the things that felt too big became the thread that ran through everything that followed. When Someone Sees You Before You See Yourself. A recurring theme across Meg's career is leaders who backed her before she had backed herself. Her answer to imposter syndrome, when a senior leader told her she was offended by the very concept, reframes what self-doubt actually means: the organisation has done its due diligence. You were chosen. Get on with it. It is advice she has passed on to every person she has led since. The Day She Closed the Brand She Built. After leading a direct banking brand through the global financial crisis, Meg had to stand up in front of her team and tell them it was closing. She had not slept. She braced for questions about jobs. The first question she received was about the customers. She nearly burst into tears. Every team member was placed before she left. That moment, she says, is the clearest measure of the culture a leader actually builds. Leading Thousands Through a Pandemic, Across Three Countries, From Two States. At Telstra, Meg ran global contact centres across three countries while simultaneously sitting on the TelstraSuper board during a period of unprecedented member withdrawals, homeschooling her children in Melbourne, and sharing childcare with her partner in Sydney. She describes it as peak hat. What she took from it was clarity: that crisis strips away everything except what actually matters, and that is where people find out who they are as leaders. The Third Arc. After two decades of building inside other people's organisations, Meg is now building inside her own. She calls this her third arc, and it is not a wind-down. It is the deliberate choice to take every wicked problem, every lesson, every team she has ever led, and put it to work differently. She is learning Italian badly and relearning tennis from scratch. Both, she says, are teaching her something she keeps needing to remember: that humility is not weakness. It is the fastest way to learn. Quotes "I stood up in front of the team and told them the brand was closing. I was expecting the first question to be about jobs. Instead it was, what happens to our customers? I nearly burst into tears. That was the power of what we had built." "Say yes to something that is going to build out your kit bag, and all the more so if it is coming from someone or somewhere you trust. It is another way of feeling the fear and doing it anyway. You will create a beautiful story for yourself along the way." Reflection The kit bag is a simple idea. Every yes adds something you carry forward. Every hard season, every role that tested you, every team you had to lead through something nobody prepared you for. Meg has been packing hers for more than twenty years. Listening to this conversation, I found myself thinking about my own. What is in it. What I almost left behind. And what I am still building the courage to add.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news we are facing a new burst in inflation as commodity prices rise, oil and gold both are rising, and benchmark interest rates are stuck high waiting to see where these tea leaves settle. Locally this week we will get June migration data, and inflation expectation updates. There also will be the July PMI update and probably the July REINZ results as well. In Australia, look out for their NAB business sentiment update, but the key event will be the RBA's rate review on Tuesday even if no-change is expected or priced in. That is despite their CPI at 3.8% and running way above their target range of 2% to 3%, and showing little sign it will get back within range any time soon. In the US, they will release their July CPI data too (expect 3.4%), their PPI (expect 5.5%) and another consumer sentiment update. In China, we are awaiting their new yuan debt data which should come late this week and be another quite weak result (expect just +¥45 bln). Over the weekend China released their CPI inflation data, revealing an annual inflation rate of just 0.5% in July, down from 1.0% in the previous month. Analysts had expected an 0.8% rate in July so this was their lowest level since January. Food prices dropped 1.5% year-on-year, following a 1.6% decline in the previous month and marking the fourth straight month it fell. But beef prices rose +4.5% and lamb prices by +6.2% in July from a year ago. Dairy product prices were -1.5% lower however. Meanwhile, China's producer prices rose +3.5% in July from a year ago, slowing from a 4.1% rise in June, and that is their steepest rise in nearly four years. The retreating pace is due to weaker commodity prices, softer domestic demand, and continued pressure from overcapacity. There is also intense price competition in some industries. China's exports surged almost +24% to US$398 bln in July in a better than expected result. The gains were driven by strong demand for AI-related technology products and a rush by manufacturers to ship goods to the US ahead of potential new tariffs. Outbound shipments to the US rose +17%, the EU by +16%, and to ASEAN nations by +38%. And while China reported relatively stable foreign exchange reserves as at the end of July, they also reported that their official gold holdings rose +640,000 oz, almost +20 tonnes in one month. That is the most in a 21 month streak of gold buying. Meanwhile Typhoon Dolphin is heading for the China coast after clipping Okinawa, due to strike south of Shanghai. It is a Cat 3 storm and over 1 mln people have been evacuated to safer ground. Taiwanese exports stayed very high at US$75.3 bln, just off record levels, but as time rolls on with these high or record high levels, the year-on-year gains are fading. Still, they managed to report a +33% rise from a year ago, an unusually strong gain. And their trade surplus remained unusually large at +US$17.2 bln, up from +US$14.3 bln in July 2025. Across the Pacific in the US economy, and even with Trump loyalists controlling the data agency, US non-farm payrolls were reported contracting in July, down -23,000 at the headline level when a very modest +80,000 was expected. That is their worst July result in at least a decade. And it get much worse if you look at actual data because payrolls shrank almost -1.1 mln in July from June before seasonal adjustment. This is the real number of people who lost employment in the month. Their participation rate inched down while their jobless rate was little-changed at 4.1%. US inflation expectations for one year ahead edged down to 3.6% in July from 3.7% in June which was the highest since September 2023. The July level is the new baseline since the US attacked Iran. Prior to that, this survey recorded about 3% for the prior two years. Earnings in the same survey are seen to rise +2.8%, so that continues to record an underwater expectation for household finances. US consumer debt levels rose +3.3% in June with revolving credit rising +6.0% on the same basis as both credit card debt and car loans rising sharply. Student loans recorded an unusual fall. A weakening labour market and both stubbornly high inflation and inflation expectations will complicate the discussions in Warsh's Fed meetings. Do they cut, hold or raise. There are probably votes for all three options. Markets currently price in half a chance of a +25 bps hike in September. And Trump is back trying to screw the scrum. There was quite the contrast in Canada with them reporting their employment rose +75,100 in July from June. It will have been a very long time since they had a gain that exceeded their southern neighbour. Their jobless rate fell to 6.4% and a two year low while their participation rate inched up. Bird flu is spreading in Australia, even if the number of reported cases is still quite minor. There is no way to properly track it, and by the time reports are received, infection is well established.... The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.66%, up +2 bps from this time Saturday but down -8 bps for the week. The price of gold has risen to US$4343/oz, up +US$6 from Saturday, up +US$293 or +7% from a week ago. Silver has held little-changed at just over US$63.50/oz. That is up +US$5.50/oz for the week or a +9.5% gain. Oil prices are unchanged from yesterday and still just over US$78/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is still just on US$83.50/bbl, A week ago these prices were US$84.50 and US$88/bbl respectively. Hormuz transits are still very constrained. There have been only three crude tanker and 6 cargo ship exiting over the past 24 hours (3 dark with transponders off) and eight entering for new loads (3 dark), again all Iran-linked. The Red Sea activity is still low with just 20 either way at the Yemen chokepoint. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just over 58.9 USc, making it unchanged for the week. Against the Aussie we are little-changed at 83.4 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 62.6 which is up a bit less than +10 bps from this time Saturday essentially unchanged for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$65,151 and up +0.6% from this time Saturday, up +3.3% from last week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very low however at just on +/-0.3%.

Elena Macellari"Le signore del paesaggio"Storia di donne, scrittrici e viaggiatrici tra Ottocento e Novecentoillustrazioni di Barbara LachiFusta Editorewww.fustaeditore.itIn un'odierna Italia troppo mutata nelle sue forme antropiche capita di imbattersi in luoghi iconici per la loro intima natura. Possono essere piccoli borghi, case sparse oppure ville, giardini o case nobili. Sono luoghi che più di altri hanno conservato le energie e la dedizione di proprietari e abitanti che, con il loro lavoro, sono riusciti a tramandare la bellezza di tempi lontani. Questo magico miscuglio tra arte, architettura e natura è sintetizzato nella felice espressione latina Genius loci, ritornata in auge con il Romanticismo. Le dieci biografie di donne riunite in questa raccolta portano alla scoperta di molteplici esperienze che, pur avendo una solida base comune, in primis l'amore per la natura, si discostano in maniera decisa e quale di questi ritratti incarna il più grande segreto desiderio di libertà? La vita piroettante e teatrale di Mabel Dodge, oppure il grande progetto agricolo di Iris Origo, animato da un profondo respiro sociale? O ancora le trepidanti atmosfere veneziane che inghiottirono Woolson, fino a condurla alla più tragica delle morti? Più semplicemente, questo libro potrà divenire la guida ideale per avventurarsi alla scoperta di magnetici giardini storici, simbolo di un'epoca: da Villa Pisani a Vescovana con la coraggiosa contessa Evelyn van Milligen, alla ligure esotica collezione botanica di Boccanegra, all'opera d'arte paesaggistica del giardino La Foce, fino alla Tebaide del Cetinale, tra le crete senesi, adorata da Edith Wharton e dall'indomabile amica Vernon Lee.

The ASX 200 put in another solid day, rising 44 points to 9,272 (0.5%), as the banks and gold stocks shone.

CBA rose 0.9% and NAB gained 0.4%, with financials generally firmer. The Big Bank Basket rose to $299.21 (+0.6%) Insurers slipped, however, with QBE down 1.0%, while the REITs also eased, with GMG down 1.7% and SCG off 1.3%.

É um grande privilégio conhecer e confiar neste Deus cuja Palavra é fiel e permanente. Todos os que creem estão seguros na Palavra do Senhor.

Alguns irmãos, de forma muito equivocada, acreditam que nossas almas serão destruídas (assim como ocorre com os filhos da perdição). O grande problema desta ideia é que ela contraria a grande promessa de Deus para os Seus filhos: a VIDA ETERNA. Na Bíblia, ALMA é sinônimo de VIDA. Por isso defendemos que nossas almas são eternas, pois a nossa vida é eterna. Mas, para entrar no Paraíso, nossas psiques precisarão passar pela restauração necessária ― e prometida por Deus ― para que tenhamos uma vida perfeita no 3º Céu.(Gravação do Estudo da Graça de Deus transmitido ao vivo no domingo, dia 29/10/2023)-------------------------------------------------SEJA UM SEMEADOR!CLIQUE AQUI ➜ https://bit.ly/2srbORGAjude-nos a manter (e a crescer) o nosso trabalho de divulgação do Evangelho da Graça de Deus.

In this episode, Trade Show Talk Host Danica Tormohlen explores how Karen Chupka, Executive Vice President of Global Connections and Events at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), reveals how her team is transforming one of the industry's longest-running trade shows into a hub for innovation—where AI, creator economy, and sports media collide—by expanding its narrative beyond conventional broadcasting. Context: The NAB Show ranked 17th on TSNN's Top 250 list of trade shows in 2025, when more than 54,00 people and 1,146 companies exhibited at that year's event. The 2026 NAB Show, held April 18–22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, welcomed more than 58,000 registered attendees from 146 countries, underscoring its expanding international footprint. Almost one in four participants traveled from outside the U.S. (22%) while 48% were first-time attendees. The 2026 show featured more than 1,100 exhibitors spread across the equivalent of nearly eight soccer fields, with 132 first-time participants showcasing their innovations. Global brands on the show floor included Sony, Canon, Ross, Blackmagic Design, Adobe, Google Cloud, AT&T, and AWS. NAB Show attendees now include creators funding their own content, sports teams engaging fans like never before, and corporate brands building in-house studios to tell stories at scale. Discover how NAB is rebranding to reflect today's media landscape—highlighting tools for everyday storytellers, from social media influencers to news crews—and opening new avenues for audience engagement. Chupka shares behind-the-scenes strategies that led to a 140% surge in creator attendance, and how AI, data unification, and personalized marketing are revolutionizing event planning and attendee experience. Chupka emphasizes the importance of innovation, community-building, and leveraging data-driven insights to stay ahead. Related: The 2026 NAB Show Showcased the Next Chapter of Storytelling with More Content Creators, AI Chatter, and Lots of Sports Media Attendees Key Topics: Chupka's transition from CES to NAB and lessons learned about industry transformation Rebranding NAB to highlight its broader focus beyond traditional broadcasting The exploding creator economy and new attendee sectors like sports and corporate media Integrating data, AI, and personalization in event marketing and attendee engagement Strategies for attracting international attendees and emphasizing community building The role of technology, content partnerships, and diversity in future event planning Ongoing industry challenges, including government proposals affecting event security and attendance Chupka's leadership tips and rapid-fire insights into event experiences and personal favorites Advocacy and Policy Update with ECA's Tommy Goodwin Tommy Goodwin, President and CEO of the Exhibitions & Conferences Alliance (ECA), closes the episode with an important advocacy-focused discussion about policy proposals that could negatively affect conference attendance, event participation, and the broader live events ecosystem. The conversation highlights how federal grant restrictions may discourage organizations and individuals from attending conferences, while also creating operational challenges for venues and event organizers. Goodwin emphasizes these proposals are not just administrative details—they could have real consequences for the health of the events industry, reducing attendance, limiting knowledge-sharing, and weakening the economic impact of face-to-face gatherings. The segment underscores the need for the industry to stay informed, respond through the public comment process, and support efforts that protect the value of in-person events. ECA is calling for the complete withdrawal of both proposed changes, and they are asking for the industry's help. ECA has provided a template to submit a comment letter to the Office of Management and Budget by July 13 but recommends tailoring and personalizing the letter before submitting. Here's a link to the template and more information.

It got lost. Now it is back. This is the first episode we ever recorded in our new studio, a full crossover with Ninjas Are Butterflies, and we are dropping it from the archives to celebrate their 200th episode release. What follows is a full episode with the #1 Comedy Podcast in Barbados, recorded, buried, and recently recovered from the Blurry Creatures archives. In true NAB fashion, it's: Party shirts. A song written an hour before tape. A warning that the whole thing is about to get flagged. And the energy of five guys who clearly should not be allowed in a basement together. Josh, Andy, and Andrew join Blurry for a wide-ranging conversation that hits everything from Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse to the megalithic mysteries of Peru and beyond. The crew digs into the connection between the Watchers of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, and the "enlightened travelers" Hancock describes. From there, we walk through a list of conspiracy theories that have been proven true, from the Tuskegee experiments and Operation Paperclip to MKUltra and Operation Northwoods, and we unpack what that track record means for the world we're living in now. The conversation lands on future predictions, transhumanism, Neuralink, the coming Great Deception, and why the peace of Christ is the only thing that holds when everything else is shaking. What was lost is now found, and an episode for the ages. Congrats on 200 episodes, NAB. This Episode is Sponsored By: http://blurrygold.com/ — Get a FREE Gold & Silver Kit while supplies last!

On the morning of 1st July 1916, as whistles blew along miles of the Somme front, the men of the III Corps and XV Corps rose from their trenches and walked into the centre of one of the most catastrophic days in British military history.In this second special episode of Old Front Line for the Somme 110th Anniversary, we focus on the brutal heart of the Somme battlefield, that stretch of scarred chalk downland running from the village of Ovillers, down through the fortress of La Boisselle, to the encircled ruins of Fricourt. This was the ground where some of the few remaining regulars alongside men of Kitchener's volunteer army, Tyneside Scots and Irishmen, Grimsby fishermen, South Yorkshire lads in the York & Lancs, and Green Howards among so many others, were sent against some formidable German positions on this central part of the Somme front of 1st July.The podcast follows the 8th Division into the killing ground of The Nab and Mash Valley at Ovillers, where German machine guns on three sides made survival almost impossible. We stand at the edge of the Lochnagar crater and trace the advance of the 34th Division, all twelve battalions committed at once, nothing held in reserve, as the Tyneside brigades marched in waves across open ground toward a village that was ready and waiting for them. And we examine the bitter fighting around Fricourt, where the 10th West Yorkshire Regiment suffered the single greatest British battalion casualty toll of any unit in on The First Day of the Somme.We end with a virtual walk across those battlefields today.Jonathan Porter's Somme Books: Zero Hour Z Day website.Main Image: Destroyed German trenches at Ovillers, looking towards Albert, July 1916.

Alan Lasky arrived at the AI XR Podcast straight from Las Vegas ahead of NAB. An MIT Media Lab graduate under Nicholas Negroponte, a veteran of Silicon Graphics and Amazon Web Services, and an advisor to investment banks on AI and media, he brings technical depth, industry history, and financial realism about where media is actually going.The conversation covers Hollywood's structural collapse, AI's role in the production renaissance, and the harder question of why trillion-dollar tech companies keep buying media businesses that can't generate comparable returns.Alan's answer: soft power. Amazon makes $950 million Lord of the Rings spinoffs so you order more paper towels. Apple is making Neuromancer. His five-year weighted moving average of Disney stock — flat from 2018 — makes the argument clean.AI XR News You Should Know: Artemis ignited a new space boom. Amazon acquired Global Star satellite to build Project Kuiper, a direct Starlink competitor. Apple's AI audio smart glasses are reportedly arriving this year per Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, entering a market where Meta owns the optometrist channel and Google is moving through Warby Parker. Snap laid off 15% while doubling down on the 2026 launch of Spectacles — the first see-through headset since Magic Leap.Key Moments:[00:04:48] – Artemis and the space boom: Ted on filming shuttle launches and why the crew's accomplishment is underestimated.[00:08:33] – Apple AI audio glasses: Rony's read from former Magic Leapers who designed them — if Apple gets this wrong, it's unforgivable.[00:12:00] – Snap's layoffs and the see-through gamble: can they compete with cheap AI audio glasses flooding the market?[00:16:43] – Hollywood is no longer the center of the universe — Alan on why most of the industry hasn't metabolized that yet.[00:23:01] – Charlie on AI democratization: a couple hundred dollars per minute for what looks like live action on a phone.[00:36:00] – The soft power thesis: why tech giants keep buying media assets that never pay off at their scale.[00:41:30] – Should Apple buy Disney? Charlie says Meta will do it first. Rony's reaction is immediate and visceral.[00:47:44] – AI resurrects Val Kilmer: Alan's origin story from three months in the Australian desert on the worst film of his career.Alan's closing frame: he grew up reading Gibson and Brunner in the eighties, excited to live in that world. He's in it. He's not sure he wanted it this way.This episode is sponsored by Zappar and Mattercraft — the leading visual development environment for immersive 3D web experiences, now with AI-assisted design and debug.

Netflix's live action take on the classic manga and animated series, One Piece, has been a massive, world wide success. For season 2, supervising sound editor Paul Col and re-recording mixer Gavin Fernades, were presented with an intimidating amount of audio challenges.
