Episode 222 In this episode of The Observers Notebook Podcast, host Tim Robertson sits down with Alberto Anunziato, an ALPO Lunar Observer from Argentina. Together, they explore the fascinating intersection between art and science in lunar observation — how detailed sketches made at the eyepiece can capture fleeting features of the Moon, aid in scientific study, and preserve the personal experience of observation. Is sketching an artistic pastime or a scientific tool? Alberto shares his insights, techniques, and passion for visual recording of lunar phenomena, reminding us that even in the digital age, a sketch can reveal what a camera may miss.

$25 trillion! This is the sum injected into the economy by Governments and Central Banks to protect a significant portion of the global economy during the Covid crisis. Where does this funding come from, and what are the impacts of such government spending? Is this strategy sustainable in the long term? These are important questions to consider, particularly since we are in a year where half of the world's population is heading to the polls and many candidates are advocating for a 'whatever it takes' approach.Even if we are near full employment, witnessing rising wages, have defeated the Coronavirus, and have inflation levels gradually approaching central bank objectives, let us not overlook the consequences of this approach. The massive government spending to save lives, known as 'whatever it takes,' is not without costs. As the saying goes, there‘s no such thing as a free lunch! The result? Endemic sovereign debt and budget deficits – a metaphorical portrayal of 'original sin.'In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua will delve into sovereign debt sustainability and explore how governments can balance their finances amid high-interest rates while meeting the demands of voters. Joining the discussion is Anatoli Annenkov, Societe Generale's Senior Economist for Europe, who will analyse the relationship between public debt and central banks. He will explain how central banks can help stabilize sovereign debt crises and shed light on the importance of their independence.CreditsPresenter & Writer: Kokou Agbo-Bloua.

A bullish long-term outlook for rising natural gas demand and pricing has partially mitigated the current deep concerns about the steep erosion of oil prices. However, short-term gas pricing has proven very volatile, as the near-month NYMEX price has yo-yoed dramatically in October and the Energy Information Administration recently cut its January forecast. In today's RBN blog, we present a new metric that calculates the gas price sensitivity of major U.S. producers.
In this episode of 7 Figure Annuity Sales, host Caleb North dives into the non-sales skills that separate average agents from top producers.

The best producers don't just know annuities—they know how to lead, teach, and connect. Developing these core skills will elevate your practice far beyond product knowledge.
This episode of the Closing Market Report seeks to lay out how in October of 2025 President of the United States Donald J.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I reconnect (30 years later!) with bassist and singer Trish Imbrogno. We apparently shared the same summers at the Chautauqua Institution as teens, then each took “classical first” career paths before veering joyfully into other sounds. Trish tells the story of leaving a busy classical schedule to become a bluegrass/Americana bassist and bandleader and why she's never looked back. We explore topics such as discipline, groove, ensemble trust, the debate between purists and progress, and the thrill (and terror) of starting over in a new musical language. We also preview her debut EP Bluegrass Love Songs, Vol. 1 (out Nov 7) and the monster lineup that played on it.To learn more about Trish, visit her website.

Trump Administration Sanctions Hit Russia's Oil Lifeline. Michael Bernstam discussed the Trump administration's politically significant sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, affecting 56% of Russian output. The sanctions caused world oil prices to jump temporarily and elicited an immediate angry response from Putin, who called it an "unfriendly act." The primary financial impact on Russia will be much deeper discounts demanded by buyers, significantly hurting the Russian budget. Europe is meanwhile nearing liberation from Russian energy dependence due to abundant US liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Sheila Dillon and this year's head judge of the BBC Food and Farming Awards, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, hit the road to meet the finalists in the Best Food Producer category.

Interview by Spitty / spittywill We recently traveled up to New York to holla at legendary producer, Rsonist of The Heatmakerz for a special Fat Beats Edition of “Off The Porch”! Best known for producing most of your favorite Dispet songs to Lil Wayne's “Tha Mobb”, Rsonist shares his experiences growing up in the Bronx in a Jamaican household making music out of his moms basement and how his diverse music taste helped him create a lot of his ground work for sampling, while carving a lane for himself within the culture. Rsonist talks about jumping off the porch around 15 years old, often getting in trouble because he would sneak out the house to DJ parties and how he didn't hear his first Hip-Hop record until he was a sophomore in high school. He discusses his first production placement with Canibus, transitioning from being a beat maker to being a producer, how he met Cam and how he ended up getting 9 beats on the Diplomatic Immunity project. He also gives his perspective on producers clearing music so that they can use the sample along with telling artists and producers how to peep game and pay attention to the business side of things as well as his new instrumental album The Anti Social Experiment, the motivation to do an instrumental album and more!

E&Ps and oilfield service companies are constantly chasing the latest techniques to extract oil and gas faster and easier. Hydraulic fracturing was, of course, a game-changer, but now producers are using simultaneous fracking and even triple fracking, relatively newer approaches that use more resources but boost efficiency. In today's RBN blog, we'll break down these strategies, explore when they make sense for operators, and highlight the biggest challenges.
Each day, SDPB brings you statewide news coverage. We then compile those stories into a daily podcast.
According to the USDA, The national herd is at a 75-year low, as the country has lost more than 150,000 cattle operations since 2017. At the same time, demand has grown by around 9% in the past decade, leading to record high beef prices. The new plan would streamline grazing permits and begin enforcing compliance of products with a “Made in the USA” label.
U.S. cattle producers are very concerned about President Donald Trump’s plan to buy Argentinian beef cattle as a move designed to lower U.S. beef prices for consumers. Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said they’re disappointed with the President’s plan NAFB News ServiceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On Thursday October 16th President Trump let it slip that the US will be buying Argentine beef to lower prices for the consumers. On the other side the domestic beef industry had a knee-jerk reaction to the news, causing some stir. Here to give the producers' side of the story is Brady Zuck. He is a producer out of Ladysmith Wisconsin and former president of the Wisconsin Cattleman’s association. He says this announcement has come at the high end of the 10- year cycle that is seen in the beef industry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck welcome back Ashley Napier of Solomon Strategic Advisors, a key supporter of Producers in Paradise. Ashley, who transitioned from an agency COO to a leadership consultant, shares her insights into the common struggles facing insurance organizations today. The conversation explores the critical need for organizational clarity, the difference between mission and vision, and why many leaders lack the self-awareness and other-awareness required to build high-performing teams. They also discuss the pitfalls of promoting top producers into leadership roles they aren't suited for and the cultural challenges presented by mergers and acquisitions. Key Highlights: The Leadership Skill Gap Ashley Napier shares her own journey, realizing that leadership isn't just about being good at a job; it's about people, organizational clarity, self-awareness, and understanding the needs of others. She sees many agency leaders today promoted without these essential skills, leading to frustration, turnover, and unclear direction. The Power of Organizational Clarity The discussion emphasizes that true clarity goes beyond daily tasks. Ashley outlines the essential components: a clear Mission (why we exist), Vision (where we're going), Values (our guiding principles), SWOT (understanding our position), strategic Pillars, long-term Objectives, yearly Goals, and daily Tactics. Many organizations mistakenly start with tactics, leading to confusion and inefficiency. Rethinking the Path to Success: Ownership vs. Production David challenges the industry perception that agency ownership is the only path to ultimate success. He argues that not every top producer is suited for leadership or ownership, and they can often achieve greater financial success and work-life balance by focusing purely on production within a supportive agency that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit. Navigating Culture in Mergers & Acquisitions The episode touches upon the frequent cultural clashes during agency mergers and acquisitions. Ashley notes that the stronger culture typically dominates, often leaving employees feeling disconnected from a mission, vision, or leadership style they didn't sign up for. Establishing a common leadership language proactively can help mitigate these challenges. Intentional Leadership: Fighting for the Highest Good Ashley leaves listeners with a call to action: be intentional, not accidental, in leadership. This involves fighting for your highest good and the highest good of those you lead. Leaders must get clear on their goals, write them down, make a plan, run after it, and avoid distractions to make a real impact.
