The author and actor thinks summer in Australia is done bigger, better and weirder than anywhere else. For three months of the year, life slows down and heats up. But for William, summer in Australia is an imperfect paradise where more than anything, people yearn to connect.Summer can be a hellish time in Australia, where temperatures soar and fires can turn bush and buildings to rubble in an instant.But despite the challenges, William McInnes looks upon this time of year with great affection and nostalgia.Growing up in Redcliffe, Queensland, William remembers the heat that burnt through his thongs, the strange ritual of assembling a plastic European Christmas tree on a 40-degree day, and simple moments in the sun like jumping off his dad's shoulders into the cool coastal water.Every summer connects William with his family, his childhood and his past, just like millions of other Australians on riverbanks and beaches around the country.It's a Scorcher: Tales of the Australian Summer is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations explores seasons, heat, bushfires, Koolewong, weather forecast, drought, BOM, swimming, tennis, Australian Open, Boxing Day Test, Cricket, Ashes, book, memoir, writing, Australiana, Kitsch, climate change, nostalgia, family time, Christmas, holidays, New Year, how to survive the holidays, road trips, vacation, bikini, swimmers, togs, school holidays, parents.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

It was the prosecution’s final day of testimony and they saved the best for last. The day began with Gem Mutlu, one of the Walshe’s dear friends and most notably, the man who spent New Year’s Eve with the couple in the hours leading up to Ana’s death. The prosecution struggled with Mutlu’s testimony, and it’s unclear whether it did more harm than good. The final witness for the state was one of Ana’s best friends who had some incredible details we have yet to hear about the Walshe’s marriage, but once again, she seems to have both helped and hurt the case against Walshe.

Our Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya and Chief China Equity Strategist Laura Wang unpack Asia's broadening economic recovery and focus on China's path to market stability in 2026.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Laura Wang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Laura Wang, Morgan Stanley's Chief China Equity Strategist.Chetan Ahya: And I'm Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia Economist.Laura Wang: Today – our 2026 macro outlook for Asia with a particular focus on China's equity market.It's Wednesday, December 10th at 10am in Hong Kong.Chetan, as 2025 draws to a close; and if we try to remember what we were thinking about this time last year, I think, probably a lot of the market participants were expecting headwinds going into 2025 on the exports and trade front. But turns out that Asia's export growth is tracking at 8 percent this year so far. What's your explanation for this surprise?Chetan Ahya: Well, yes, Laura, you know, we were all concerned that there will potentially be tariffs, especially on China. And therefore, we were concerned that [the] regions' exports may be affected negatively. However, what has happened is that tech exports have driven the strength in the overall exports for the region. And that is all because of the story on AI and tech development that we have all been watching.But the good news is that non-tech exports will recover in 2026. In fact, that's the key call we are making – that from early next year, you will see that improvement in the U.S. domestic demand that helps Asia's exports. And at the same time, we are expecting that bulk of this tariff-related uncertainty would be behind us. And so those are the two factors we think will support this recovery in non-tech exports in 2026.Laura Wang: That's great. How significant is the shift in exports from tech to non-tech?Chetan Ahya: Well, we think that's very important for [the] regions' economic outlook. Because when you think about the tech exports recovery, it was helpful to keep [the] regions' overall exports growth strong, but it did not have the broader multiplier effect on the economy. So, for example, when you think about the tech exports, it tends to be more capital intensive, and we don't see much benefit on job growth.I think the best example I can give you is when you look at the Taiwan economic numbers. We've seen very strong GDP growth year-to-date. But at the same time, consumption numbers have been very weak. And so, non-tech exports recovery is very important for the broader economic recovery, and that is precisely what we expect in 2026. You will see that broadening out of growth with follow up in CapEx, job growth, and consumption recovery.Laura Wang: Your work suggests that Asia inflation will pick up modestly in 2026. What factors are behind this trend?Chetan Ahya: Well, as the non-tech exports recovery materializes, you should see improvement in capacity utilization across the board in the region. That should reduce the disinflationary pressures that we've been seeing year-to-date. And at the same time, we are expecting that the disinflationary pressures that the region was facing from China is also going to ease in 2026.Laura Wang: How will Asia central banks respond to keep inflation within their comfort zones? And what does this mean for monetary policy across the region in 2026?Chetan Ahya: Well actually, there's not much concern about keeping the inflation within the central bank's comfort zone because what we've seen year-to-date in Asia is that Inflation has been much lower than the central bank's target for a number of economies in the region. And they have been responding to this with more interest rate cuts.But going forward, as disinflationary pressure is reduced, we are expecting that the central banks in the region would end their rate cutting cycle. We should see just about one to two more rate cuts for some of the central banks. And then policy rates should remain largely stable through to the end of 2026.So, Laura, let me come to you now. So, 2025 was a very strong year for China markets. And you see 2026 as a ‘keep it steady' year rather than a breakout year. What does stability look like for investors and companies?Laura Wang: That's right, 2025 was a very good year for China equity market. We saw both MSCI China and Han Sang Index delivering more than 30 percent return in absolute terms. Going into 2026, we see it as a year for investors and for the market to preserve and protect what has been achieved in 2025 so far, but not with significantly much higher upside at this point. This is because the valuation re-reading we've seen so far in 2025 is already more than 30 percent, close to 40 percent.In [20]26, we think the valuation will largely stay at its current level, and further upside for the market will be more driven by solid earnings growth. For 2026, we see MSCI China's earnings growth year-on-year at around 6 percent.Chetan Ahya: So, with that backdrop, Laura, do you expect more inflows into the market next year?Laura Wang: Absolutely. Actually, we have already talked to so many investors on a global basis, and we are seeing much higher level of interest in investing in Chinese equities, particularly in some R&D and innovation heavy sectors.That being said, what we are seeing also is relatively light positioning by global investors in Chinese equities – actually across the board, still a quite sizable underweight, which means there will be much higher room for them to increase their allocation gradually in 2026 back to China.Chetan Ahya: And with the U.S.-China tensions easing a bit, and China doubling down on AI and smart manufacturing, where do you see the real-world opportunities from that?Laura Wang: There will be a lot of opportunities inside Chinese equity market, but we do want to stay with the names that will be delivering very solid earnings growth in the next few years. And we also want to highlight the next five years growth strategy laid out by Chinese policy makers.We want to make sure that we focus on the sectors that are very well aligned with the national growth strategy with a strong focus in R&D and innovation – and that would include AI as well as smart manufacturing, automation, robotics, and biotech. We also have collected very high level of interest from global investors in these sectors.At the same time, as we start to see less deflation pressure in 2026, but still with it potentially persisting into 2027, we want investors to still hold on to some exposure to high quality dividend plays. The steady cash returns from these stocks will help you navigate through some volatilities in the market in next year.Chetan Ahya: So, you expect global investors returning, mainland investors shifting money from savings into stocks, and strong cross-border trading within Hong Kong. What does that mean for market behavior and thematic opportunities?Laura Wang: One very positive development we have observed in 2025 is the strong capital market activities in Hong Kong. Hong Kong at single stock exchange basis actually is the most active IPO market in the world in 2025, and with policy support for Hong Kong to continue as a global financial hub, we expect this trend to continue. So, we are seeing more and more capital market activities happening in Hong Kong and mainland China in the next year. And in terms of thematic opportunities, I already mentioned that opportunities align with the national growth strategy with very heavy innovation and R&D focus. Along these opportunities, we're also heavy recommending investors to focus on thematic opportunities such as anti-evolution, as well as corporate governance reform.That summarizes our New Year outlook for Asia economy as well as China equity market. Chetan, thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me.Chetan Ahya: Great speaking with you, Laura.Laura Wang: And thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share the podcast with a friend or colleague today.

MS Now's Stephanie Ruhle is back on Independent Americans for the first time since March 2020, joining host Paul Rieckhoff to let it fly. She's candid, uninterrupted and going deep on Trump's unchecked power over the U.S. military, the runaway big business of youth sports, the affordability crisis, and why “kind is the new cool.” Paul opens with a rapid-fire rundown of Trump's Pennsylvania “affordability” speech, looming Fed rate cuts, Venezuela boat strikes and alleged war crimes, the Gang of Eight briefing, Admiral Holsey's sudden retirement, China and Russia's bomber patrols, Afghan allies left behind, and below-the-radar moves in Ukraine, Georgia, and Miami politics. Joining from Times Square, Stephanie is unplugged and talks candidly about news exhaustion, why tuning out is a dangerous privilege, and how independent and social media are reshaping how people—especially kids—stay informed. She shouts out the Pentagon press corps for refusing to sign away their independence and explains why Trump's attacks on journalists and his control of the military might be the most important story in the world. They dig into parenting in the Trump era, raising boys and a middle-school daughter amid misogyny and online cruelty, why empathy is a superpower, and how small acts—and her family tradition—can change someone's day—and your own. On youth sports, Stephanie unloads on the “insane” monetization of travel teams, showcases, and year-round club schedules that shut out working families while Paul describes what he's seeing as a youth coach watching rec sports get cannibalized. On the economy, she breaks down what Fed cuts really mean, why inflation and a K-shaped recovery are fueling anger, and how both parties are failing people at the grocery store, gas pump, and rent check—while calling out tariffs, farm aid politics, and the illusion of Trump as a populist fighter. They also go global on China's trillion-dollar trade surplus, Russia and Putin's “amazing year,” Trump's Ukraine “peace” timeline, and the risks of shifting U.S. focus away from the Pacific, before hitting Taylor and Travis, Diana Ross headlining New Year's Eve in Times Square at 81, and why Stephanie will never stand for hours in a corral without a bathroom. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

If you're ready to switch from the material mind to the **spirit mind**, this conversation offers clear practices for intuition, compassion, and genuine transformation. See below for Jeffrey's Free Gift for Take Back Your Mind listeners!  Conversation Highlights include: * Jeffrey's origin story—from math/CS and shared lucid dreams to a purpose-driven path in **energy healing** and service  * The simple model of **two minds** (material vs. spirit) and how asking "which mind?" changes reactions, choices, and outcomes  * "Code = energy": how **beliefs** set rules for reality, why clarity of desire matters, and working the subtle layer first (manifesting 101)  * Spotting **spiritual ego** and quiet judgment—then replacing them with compassion for past versions of yourself and others  * The **Breath of Love** micro-practice: use the natural pause at the top/bottom of the breath to access timeless, peaceful awareness * Inside **Awakening Your Spirit Mind**: tools and community for stabilizing spirit-led living amid the planet's energy shift; and more!  Finally, Michael closes with a **guided meditation** to "wake up to your glorious nature," integrate love into action, and carry that frequency into your day.

This week we're rooting on Australia's bold new experiment: a nationwide social media ban for teens under 16 (even though we're not quite sure how it's gonna work). With companies on the hook for massive fines, we break down how the government plans to enforce it, what apps are included, and how we would've handled this kind of restriction as teens ourselves. Would we support something similar in the U.S., and would parents actually help enforce it? We also talk VPN loopholes, whack-a-mole app workarounds, and the nostalgia of being slightly less online growing up. We're also talking Hollywood's latest attention-grabbing strategy: vertical micro-dramas. With Netflix's bombshell bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and streamers scrambling for our eyeballs, these 45-second, swipe-friendly “shows” are becoming a real investment. We discuss whether they work, why the “second screen problem” is driving this trend, and if TV has actually gotten worse, or if we've all just gotten too distracted. We wrap with recs: Think of setting New Year's themes, not resolutions (Andrew), vibration plates (Laura), and buying cleaning brush attachments for your drill head instead of buying a whole new cleaning appliance (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We get some follow up tea on family holiday drama, and we ask each other some probing questions about ourselves inspired by Teen Vogue's list of 215 questions to ask your friends.

In this segment, Bob Motta helps us untangle one of the most challenging elements of the case: Ana Walshe's body has never been found. No remains. No autopsy. No definitive cause of death. And yet prosecutors are moving forward with a full murder charge. Bob breaks down what prosecutors need to prove in a no-body case, and why this one may be stronger than most. While the defense argues that the lack of a body creates insurmountable doubt, the state points to the mountain of circumstantial evidence: the blood-soaked carpet fragments containing a Gucci charm that Ana owned, the surveillance footage of Brian buying cutting tools on New Year's Day, the dump runs, the inconsistencies in his statements, and Ana's complete digital silence afterward. We walk through each piece with Bob: how inconsistent stories become evidence, how behavior becomes motive, and how digital forensics often fill the gaps left by the absence of remains. Bob also explains the tightrope prosecutors walk with motive, especially in cases involving financial pressures and life insurance policies. Bob weighs in on the potential verdicts, too — including the real possibility of a second-degree conviction if jurors believe Brian dismembered Ana but aren't certain he killed her. This episode goes deeper than headlines. It's about how modern homicide cases work when the most crucial piece of evidence — the victim's body — is missing, and what it means for the defense when everything else points in a direction they can't explain away. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #BobMotta #NoBodyMurder #HiddenKillers #DigitalForensics #TrueCrime #CourtCase #TonyBrueski #LegalBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a “good, normal, suburban” life collides with addiction, shame, and a God who refuses to let go? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Cheri Garcia, founder of Cornbread Hustle, a second-chance staffing agency that’s helped thousands of formerly incarcerated men and women find work and hope. Cherry shares her raw story—from teenage meth dealer and alcoholic to sober entrepreneur and soon-to-be bride—and how God met her in a New Year’s Eve church service, a single Bible verse, and a recovery community she now calls her sunflower sisters.

If you've been snapping at people you love, feeling angry for no reason, or like you're becoming someone you barely recognize, this episode explains why. Perimenopause rage is a physiological response to shifting hormones, mineral depletion, and decades of over-functioning.  In this episode, Claudia breaks down what's driving the emotional volatility, why traditional advice doesn't help, and what it actually takes to feel calm and grounded again. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising hormonal shifts that trigger sudden rage in perimenopause Why low progesterone and fluctuating estrogen wreak havoc on your mood How cortisol dysregulation makes you more reactive to stress The connection between mineral depletion, burnout, and emotional overwhelm Why rage often shows up at home and impacts your closest relationships The steps you can take to feel more stable, supported, and like yourself again   [WATCH ON YOUTUBE] ________________________________________________________ **BLACK FRIDAY SALE EXTENDED** Save $100 on a Perimenopause Clarity Session with me - a focused, personalized way to help you understand what's really going on in your body.

It was the prosecution’s final day of testimony and they saved the best for last. The day began with Gem Mutlu, one of the Walshe’s dear friends and most notably, the man who spent New Year’s Eve with the couple in the hours leading up to Ana’s death. The prosecution struggled with Mutlu’s testimony, and it’s unclear whether it did more harm than good. The final witness for the state was one of Ana’s best friends who had some incredible details we have yet to hear about the Walshe’s marriage, but once again, she seems to have both helped and hurt the case against Walshe.

For years, I thought New Year's resolutions would finally turn me into the “best version” of myself. Spoiler: they mostly left me discouraged, exhausted, and convinced I was already falling behind. So I stopped. And in this episode — my last before a long season away from the podcast — I'm sharing the simple New Year's ritual I created instead. One that feels grounding, healing, spacious, and actually sustainable. Today we're walking through: ✨ How to remember the story you lived this year ✨ What to release so you don't carry old weight into a new season ✨ How to reset with intention — without pressure or perfectionism If resolutions haven't been working for you (or haven't felt kind)… this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Welcome to TEACHBACK TUESDAY! When "Self-Control Exercises" first aired back in Season One/March 2021, the timing was "accidentally on purpose." March is right about that time when many are abandoning their 3-month-old New Year's Resolutions. Now we're replaying it in December, when almost all temperance has been tossed out the car window while going through the drive-through to grab a jumbo meal after spending too much money shopping! Temperance, AKA "self-control" is unnatural for us. We want what we want and fast. This impatience leads to indulgences that end up costing us in ways we don't want to pay. If you need to work on ruling over the toddler in your adult body, this episode has ideas to help you to gain victories. God wants us to master temperance, and so He trains us through the everyday "pop quizzes" that he allows into our lives. This episode covers three self-control exercises we can practice to cultivate the vital fruit of temperance.  Books, Bible Studies, and more in the Shop at Keep the Heart Apply: Living What We Learn--31-Day Devotional by Francie Taylor Ponder the Path 31-Day Devotional by Francie Taylor Sister Friends by Francie Taylor NEW: Hope Endures: A Biography of Faith by Jennifer Arrington NEW: The Counting Tree by Jennifer Arrington NEW: Seaside Treasures Framed Shell Art Follow Keep the Heart on Instagram Like Keep the Heart on Facebook

What if the meal sitting in those beautiful lacquered boxes held messages from the gods? In Japan, osechi-ryōri isn't just New Year's food—it's a sacred offering. Each dish carries specific wishes: black beans for health, herring roe for prosperity, lotus root for clear vision into the future. Families prepare them before midnight, then rest for three days while Toshigami-sama, the deity of the coming year, visits every home. But why can't you use knives during the first three days? What happens to the kitchen god? And why do martial arts schools break open mirror-shaped mochi in January? Thersa shares her in-laws' traditions of food exchanges, the evolution from handmade to convenience store osechi, and the deeper spiritual layers beneath each symbolic dish.

Day 6 of the Brian Walshe murder trial gave jurors something they won't forget — surveillance footage of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through a Lowe's on New Year's Day 2023. Inside that cart: a hacksaw, a hatchet, a utility knife, a Tyvek suit, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies. The total was $463.23. He paid cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe drove to a liquor store in Swampscott — a place where he was a regular, a place that was closed for the holiday — and tossed a trash bag into the dumpster behind the building. Police recovered that bag. Inside they found carpet fragments with blood clots, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry with the brand name engraved on it. Ana Walshe owned Gucci jewelry. Crime lab specialist Matthew Sheehan walked the jury through the blood evidence. The hacksaw tested positive. The hatchet tested positive — and carried a greasy residue consistent with cutting into human tissue. The hammer, the tin snips, towels, slippers, carpet pieces — all positive. A kitchen knife hidden above the refrigerator in the Walshe home came back positive for blood. But here's where the defense runs into trouble. The bedroom — where Brian Walshe's lawyers claim Ana died suddenly of natural causes — was forensically clean. No biological evidence on the floor, even after investigators dug up a section of it. No blood in the bathrooms. No blood on the stairs. But the basement floor? Covered in blood stains, right next to a pile of black trash bags. The state medical examiner testified that sudden unexpected death in a healthy 39-year-old woman is "pretty rare" and put sudden arrhythmia "at the very bottom of the list" of explanations. He couldn't determine cause of death because there's no body. Brian Walshe already pleaded guilty to disposing of his wife's remains. The prosecution is a third of the way through their case, and the picture is getting clearer by the day. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForAna #CrimeLab Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you heard the saying before: find what you love, get so good at it that no one can ignore you, and you will never truly work a day in your life? But what if that same passion could also fuel your productivity, your purpose, and your impact on the world? In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Suzanne Smith, founder and CEO of Social Impact Architects, educator, speaker, and changemaker, for a conversation that blends purpose, productivity, and real-life resilience. Suzanne shares how finding your calling can turn work into something that feels effortless, and why helping others might be one of the most powerful productivity boosts available. They unpack her simple but powerful 4T Framework: Time, Talent, Treasure, and Testimony, showing how generosity doesn't drain your energy, it actually multiplies it. You'll hear how gratitude can literally rewire your brain, why "doom scrolling" is quietly exhausting your focus, and how shifting toward "hope scrolling" can change your emotional and mental state. Suzanne also shares smart strategies for energy management, creating healthy technology boundaries, and building a sustainable rhythm that protects against burnout. From building calm out of chaos to learning how to reset after tough days, this conversation is packed with wisdom you can use right away. If you have ever felt pulled between doing meaningful work and staying personally fulfilled, this episode will remind you that the two can absolutely fuel each other.  What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction to Suzanne Smith [06:01] Finding your calling and early influences [08:53] Purpose as the engine of performance [09:22] The helper's high and scientific research [10:43] 4T Framework: Time [12:42] 4T Framework: Talent [13:17] 4T Framework: Treasure [14:13] 4T Framework: Testimony [16:23] Gratitude and brain science [18:41] Hope scrolling vs doom scrolling [21:47] Technology diet and energy management [26:05] Diet, health, and productivity [32:41] The value of feedback and mentorship [42:30] The third place and community [45:46] Closing and where to find Suzanne   Notable Quotes [06:04] "I am a big believer in finding your calling, and I was lucky to find mine at a very early age."– Suzanne Smith [07:05] "I jokingly say to my students, I've never worked a day in my life because this is not a job. This is a calling." – Suzanne Smith [11:01] "'Every Friday, I look back on my week and choose five people who were bright spots in my life, and I send them a note of gratitude."– Suzanne Smith [10:12] "As they do the brain scans of individuals, when they're actually helping other people, yes, you're helping the other person, but you're also helping yourself." — Suzanne Smith [18:56] "My 2026 New Year's resolution... is to really reverse this tide of doom scrolling and actually shift it to hope scrolling." — Suzanne Smith [23:48] "I think you're so spot on about getting people more conscious of their technology, but also conscious of all their influences. And it's the people, it's the systems around you, it's your environment." — Suzanne Smith [29:19] "We're not competing with other people. We're actually competing with the person we were yesterday. And our only job was just be a better person than we were yesterday." — Suzanne Smith [36:12] "To me, it's harder stumbling through life and continuing to stub your toe on the exact same thing versus someone just saying, here's your blind spot." — Suzanne Smith [40:47] "Thomas Edison, Einstein, they did not figure out their inventions at the workbench or at the computer. It really is when they went out in nature or they were taking a creative break.." — Suzanne Smith [43:27] "I want everybody to feel empowered to make change in their community and not wait for somebody else to be the leader in this space." — Suzanne Smith Resources Suzanne Smith Website – meetsuzanne.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannesmithtx/ Newsletter – Social Trend Spotter  TEDx – Everyone is a Change Maker Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.
