The Refiners Fire 2-2-25 Fr. Filipski

Time for a field trip, Refiners! On this week's breakdown of 'Severance' on Apple TV+, AJ returns to help Ebube and Chinedu figure out why this episode was so quietly chaotic. They first address allegations that the show relies too much on stringing its audience along (1:10), then they talk about Milchick getting some gold ol' corporate appreciation, as well as his identity as a black man (10:25). They also discuss who Natalie truly serves (20:02), Mark and Helly's little excursion (24:04), and of course Mark's foray into uncharted territory at the end of the episode.Join the breakdown and be the you you are!You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on Youtube.Hosts: Ebube Ubochi and Chinedu IhejiGuest: AJ Production by Ebube Ubochi

US refiners have had a dramatic start to the new year, facing wintry blasts on the East Coast and devastating wildfires on the West Coast. Plummeting transportation fuel demand in Southern California, strong heating fuel demand in the Northeast, and cheap blending components in the Gulf Coast have created a balancing act for producers and shippers of gasoline and distillates -- and consumers pay the price. Jeff Mower discusses the weather events, seasonal supply and demand, price movements, and more with senior downstream editor Janet McGurty, Americas light ends manager Sarah Hernandez and Americas middle distillates manager Jordan Daniel.

The post Arizona: A Refiners Fire appeared first on Gospel Revolution Church.

Augustina continues our summer theme of 'Fire' with Refiners fire - Malachi 3:2

Never before India's oil import basket has changed so dramatically as it has changed in the past three years. The sharp rise in the share of Russian barrels have displaced big volumes of Middle Eastern crude. And now, as Indian refiners start to explore the possibility of signing term deals for Russian crude, market players are looking for answers on how this might further change trade flows as well as influence the production strategy of OPEC and its allies. In a wide-ranging discussion with Sambit Mohanty, Asia energy editor, Rosemary Griffin, OPEC lead at S&P Global Commodity Insights, Pulkit Agarwal, head of India content, and Daniel Colover, head of market engagement for the Middle East, discuss the evolving scenario and the implications it might have on supplies from other regions.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting our good friend Dr. David Gattie, Associate Professor of Engineering at the University of Georgia. In addition to his role in the College of Engineering, David is a Senior Fellow at the University's Center for International Trade and Security. David has a robust background including 18 years at the University of Georgia and 15 years in the energy private sector across production engineering, energy services engineering, and environmental engineering. His research focuses on the electric power sector, with an emphasis on comprehensive energy policy and integrated resource planning for overall energy and economic security, as well as national security. We were thrilled to visit with David. In our discussion, David provides an overview of Georgia's unique energy landscape and power generation focus. He explains Georgia's approach to long-term energy planning through integrated resource plans mandated every three years, the structure of Georgia's energy sector, the role of the Public Service Commission, and the pivotal role of nuclear energy in the state's long-term energy strategy. We explore Georgia's choice to maintain a regulated market rather than deregulating, the effectiveness of various market systems, trends in regulated versus deregulated markets, and the potential risks of an energy transition that neglects national security and industrial competitiveness. David also discusses the Center for International Trade and Security's efforts, including training students to become strategic thinkers with expertise in nuclear technology and energy security, as well as collaborating with key organizations and experts in the field. We cover the role of trade in maintaining global stability and preventing conflicts, the expected increase in electricity demand, commercial viability and government involvement in nuclear development, optimism for realistic energy policies, and more. As you'll hear, it was a meaty conversation and David was a fantastic guest with which to explore these important topics. David's full presentation including the slides referenced in our discussion is linked here. For additional reading, David's recent report entitled “Competitive Advantage as a National Security Objective for US Civilian Nuclear Power Policy” is linked here. Additionally, if you are interested in reading the book David recommends during the show, “The Lessons of Tragedy” is linked here. Mike Bradley opened the conversation by highlighting that it's been a wild week for Presidential politics, which is introducing some added uncertainty to global markets. He noted there could be some increased volatility in the bond market at week's end when Consumer Confidence and the PCE deflator are set to report. On the crude oil front, WTI price has plunged by ~$2.50/bbl (~$77.50/bbl) so far this week due to WTI price breaking through its 50/100/200 day moving averages and growing concern that Chinese commodity demand is slowing. On the energy equity front, Q2 reporting started last week and was skewed towards Oil Services. This week will also be heavy Oil Services but will also be broadening out to gas-levered E&Ps, Canadian E&Ps, Miners, Euro Oil Majors, Refiners and Electric Utilities. He also noted that equity investors will be paying a lot of attention to gas-levered E&P calls this week to get a sense of how they're thinking about 2H'24/2025 gas price levels/direction and how that might influence their 2H'24 capex/guidance plans.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting David Sacks, Fellow for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), for a comprehensive discussion on China and the intricate dynamics of US-China, US-Taiwan, and cross-Strait relations. Prior to joining the CFR in 2017, David served at the American Institute in Taiwan focused on political military affairs. David's research spans Asia, China, Taiwan, defense and security, as well as political history and theory including the political thought of Hans Morgenthau. The CFR is an independent think-tank and publisher committed to providing insights into global affairs and serves as a resource for its members and the broader public in navigating the complexities of international relations. We have been interested for quite some time in finding an expert on China and were thrilled to visit with David. In our conversation, David first shares background on China's evolving role globally and the changing dynamics of US-China relations, the security-related and economic implications of conflict between China and Taiwan, the challenges in managing tensions in the Taiwan Strait, escalating tensions in the South China Sea, US-China rivalry in the region and its effects on maritime activity, and China's assertive foreign policy under Xi Jinping's leadership and its implications for global power dynamics. David shares his perspective on similarities and differences between the Trump and Biden Administrations' approaches to China, the feasibility and implications of decoupling from China economically and the interdependence between the US and China in the global economy, the potential for future leadership changes in China, and how other countries are responding to China's assertiveness including how European perceptions and policies towards China have evolved. We explore China's economic and demographic outlook and the country's overall strengths and weaknesses, potential implications if China were to become weaker in the next 10-20 years, the potential export of low-cost EVs from China, trust issues in US-China relations, Taiwan's perspective and defense strategies, the CFR's role in international diplomacy, and much more. Thank you, David, for sharing your insights with us all! We learned a tremendous amount and could have gone another hour we were so intrigued with the conversation. Mike Bradley kicked us off with a few updates. He noted the 10-year government bond yield looks to have found some temporary support at ~4.6% but will likely move on Friday's PCE deflator report. WTI (~$83/bbl) pulled back this past week on what looks to be temporary cooling in Mideast tension. Oil trader sentiment seems to have shifted to one that could be underestimating future geopolitical risks, which could send oil prices materially higher, and force OPEC to push barrels back into the market. Q4 earnings are kicking into high gear with ~35% of S&P 500 companies reporting this week, which should result in elevated broader market trading volatility. S&P 500 relative strength has recently reversed from overbought to oversold levels, and S&P 500 volatility has also spiked to 1-year highs. On the energy equity front, he highlighted that Q1 results are also beginning to kick into high gear with a barrage of results from E&Ps, Oil Majors, Oil Services & Refiners. Electric Utilities were by far the best performing S&P sector last week and there will be many companies reporting this week. He ended by discussing YTD Asian equity market performance, noting that Japan and Taiwan are the top two regional equity market performers. Arjun Murti discussed the concept of geopolitical risk premiums in oil prices, noting three key factors: structural changes in major producers, civil strife causing production fluctuations and difficult forecasting, and the impact of war. Sharing examples for each element, he noted the complex nature of geopolitical risk and its influence on s

WELCOME BACK, REFINER!! IT'S TIME FOR MORE SEVERED!!Well, better late than never, right Refiner?? This week, "Severed: Origins" is finally taking some time to break down the weird little document Red Hour released a month after the premier of the show: "The Lexington Letter". It was presented as a whistleblower letter written by a Severed Employee working at the Topeka, KS location of Lumon Industries. It contained a few clues, but it was REALLY another attempt on the part of the producers to explain the Severance Procedure. They were just sure the viewing public was too dumb to figure it out (TV Execs have traditionally believed they are smarter than the average population...this would be why most of TV is SO dumb.) This piece was rushed. Several folks who read it early on were quick to comment how poorly written it was compared to the series. It's true, and we're going to get into the logic holes, the HUGE continuity errors and the impossible timeline. There are a few details and reveals...but they are buried amidst a LOT of badly constructed narrative.If you've been with me this far, you know I LOVE "Severance." Don't be shocked, but I DON'T love the "Lexington Letter." I've tried to reign in the snark, but it's upsetting to see such a poorly conceived and badly written creative piece tied to such a cool show.  Verbal slaps about the authors' head and shoulders were unavoidable. -Allen S.NEEDING THE LEXINGTON LETTER??

WELCOME BACK TO THE SEVERED FLOOR, REFINERS!Our look at those things that inspired Dan Erickson as he was creating 'Severance' continues!! This time out, we're breaking down the 1990 fairy-tale Rom-com "Joe vs. The Volcano." It stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in their FIRST movie together! It was also written and directed by Oscar and Pulitzer prize-winning writer, John Patrick Shanley. With a pedigree like that, you'd think it would be a better movie! Then again, maybe it's just misunderstood. We're going to delve deeply into it to find out which.This is Part ONE. We get about halfway through the movie. Be watching for Part TWO when we will finish it up with a big plunge into a Volcano (and, yes, SPOILERS for 'Joe vs. The Volcano!).BECOME A PATRON-REFINER!!

IT'S TIME TO END THIS THING, REFINERS!!Our three part "Truman Show" Origins Odyssey is about to come to an end. Truman's freakout is in full bloom. He crossed the bridge!! (This may or may not mean he has fixed his inner soul).  There's a nuclear plant meltdown, a forest fire and a fugitive escapee in the woods...and that's all in the first 20 minutes of this final Opus.Meryl must bid us a fond farewell...but don't worry. Christof has found another young actress willing to sleep with the star of the show. We'll meet her, too! Oh, and yes, we'll finally have a chance to really sit down with Christof, the creator of "The Truman Show" and the gang in the Lunar Room.  Truman may have given up on trying to escape...or, maybe, it's his most stunning plot yet!! There comes a time when problems can't be fixed with a beer...but, until that time, we've got Marlon on stand-by with a sixer of Penn Pavel's.So, if you're ready, it's time to stroll the lovely streets of Seahaven for the final time. BECOME A PATRON-REFINER!!

WELCOME BACK, REFINERS!!It's time for more "Severed: Origins" as we continue to break down the 1998 Jim Carrey classic, "The Truman Show."I'm making a long winter meal out of this one, gang. We start this segment by meeting Truman's mother. The lovely Holland Taylor is stellar as "Mom." We hang out with Truman as he's watching some of the offerings on Seahaven's TV channel. Truman hears some weirdness on the radio and sees a LOT of weirdness in a building elevator. He follows both Meryl and Marlon to work then decides he HAS to get off the island. Flights are a month out (it's the busy season!) and the bus is smoking. Mr. Burbank figures he'll drive his way off the island. Don't miss out, Refiners!! Following Truman around Seahaven is the most fun you can have in single digit temps!! Is it going to take me ten hours to get through this two-hour movie?? Find out, NEXT TIME...but for now, enjoy this one.Talk soon!! -Allen S.BECOME A PATRON-REFINER!!

WELCOME BACK, REFINERS!! The 'Severed' ORIGINS Series continues with a look at a fun an interesting movie from 1998. This time out, we take on "The Truman Show" directed by Peter Weir and Starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris and Laura Linney.In this installment, we learn about the long and twisting path this movie took when it came to getting both a director and a script. We'll actually hit 'play' and fire it up. That's when we'll meet Christof, Louis and Hannah. Although Truman doesn't know Christof at all and he thinks Hannah's name is Meryl and Louis' name is Marlon. It's a weird existence on Seahaven...especially if your name is Truman.This is one of the movies that inspired Dan Erickson as he was creating "Severance." It's easy to see how Truman is the perpetual innie. Christof is like a distant Jame Eagan, running the show without his charge even knowing it.It's a fun, well-made, interesting movie that is still talked about in media ethics classes. Get ready to hit 'play', Refiner. We're headed to Seahaven!! Make sure to visit Patreon.com/SeveredPod to become a Refiner!!

WELCOME BACK, REFINER!! This week, the "Severed: Origins" series is taking a look at a masterpiece created by a French Madman. His name is Jacques Tati and the film we'll be discussing is his 1967 opus "Play Time." "Play Time" is like no film you've ever seen. We'll get into just exactly why it's so different. Since it is so different, I can't even break it down the way I would normally review a movie. I'll explain, and we'll get into it...kinda.Tati doesn't believe much in plot, character or close-ups. How is it possible to create a movie without those things? Oh, Tati manages...to the point what he created has been called by some the greatest movie ever made. It's a weird little sideshow well worth examining. Don't miss "Play Time" as a part of "Severed: Origins."Make sure to visit Patreon.com/SeveredPod to become a Refiner!!
