The episode begins with a deep dive into the latest retail and economic headlines that are shaping the landscape. Steve and Michael dissect the U.S. government shutdown, its ripple effects on employment, and how cost-cutting in Washington could further weaken an already fragile job market. They then examine new tariffs on furniture, cabinets, and agricultural exports, highlighting how the policies are squeezing retailers and farmers alike—particularly soybean producers, who have been hit hard by China's retaliation.The hosts also analyze the latest on TikTok's uncertain U.S. future, as political maneuvering opens the door to a controversial joint venture involving major tech and media figures. In retail performance, Costco's continued dominance and Nike's early turnaround efforts take center stage, as both giants adapt to shifting consumer sentiment and inflationary pressure. The segment concludes with a discussion of AI's growing impact on the workplace, holiday hiring trends, and how discretionary spending and de minimis trade rules could redefine retail economics on both sides of the border.Then, in a wide-ranging interview, David Kahan, President & CEO Birkenstock Americas delivers a masterclass in brand stewardship and retail strategy. He traces Birkenstock's roots from a humble German cobbler to a global fashion phenomenon—revealing how the brand's success rests on “never deviating from its DNA.” Every product begins with the footbed, he says, making comfort, health, and purpose inseparable from style.Kahan credits Birkenstock's ongoing cultural resonance—from the Barbie movie to red carpet collaborations—to disciplined brand management and “engineered distribution.” He explains how each Birkenstock store is a unique community experience, blending tactile engagement with hyper-local curation. The conversation also touches on leadership philosophy, emphasizing humility, trust, and an unwavering focus on brand equity over short-term sales.

Justine, your host, is running for the entire podcast. But this isn't just a simple run—it's The Trivia Treadmill Torture, a chaotic game designed by one half of the podcast duo who also happen to be trivia hosts at various pubs around town.The rules are simple: Justine must start running at a 3 mph brisk walk pace. Every trivia question she gets wrong, she must increase her speed. Her only hope for survival is to answer the questions correctly! Listen as Justine navigates four categories—Marathons, Miscellaneous, Music, and Twilight! Will knowing that a half marathon was once run backwards in under an hour and 40 minutes or correctly identifying a "negative split" save her from a grueling pace? Or will Kylie's questions about the original enemies of the ancient Greeks, or the unexpected alcoholic fuel of choice for Victorian runners force her to speed up?Tune in to find out if Justine survives this hilarious, pace-changing chaos, or if the final, random question about the top speed of a spider monkey pushes her past her breaking point right before the cooldown. This is high-stakes trivia where every wrong answer brings you closer to sprinting!Support the showRunningScaredMedia.comVisit our shop to purchase our jogcasts and other merchEmail us at: therunningscaredpodcast@gmail.comFollow us:Instagram @runningscaredmediaJoin our FB Running Group

Giulio Busi"Il cantico dell'umiltà"Vita di San FrancescoMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIlletterato, sprovveduto, sognatore, Francesco d'Assisi è il «santo» per eccellenza. Ma è anche, nell'opinione comune, un personaggio fuori dalla storia, relegato nella sfera del misticismo e dell'utopia. Come mai, allora, la Chiesa decide di innalzarlo agli altari a soli due anni dalla morte, dopo un processo di canonizzazione tra i più brevi nella vicenda millenaria del cristianesimo? Francesco ribelle e antisistema o docile strumento nelle mani del potere ecclesiastico? Giulio Busi passa al vaglio le cronache dell'epoca, s'immerge nel mare sconfinato dell'agiografia, e poi dipinge un Francesco inedito, vigoroso, a tratti mite, più spesso provocatorio e intransigente. Quando è costretto, infatti, sa obbedire e accettare l'autorità. Ma è una scelta che gli costa, e da cui, ogni volta, riparte per inseguire la verità. Mentre attorno a lui la società scopre, e soffre, l'economia del mercato e del profitto, Francesco accoglie i lebbrosi, si unisce ai mendicanti, rivendica per sé un posto tra gli ultimi. Nei primi tempi, i benpensanti lo dileggiano, lo considerano un folle. Intanto, però, il suo carisma attrae sempre più seguaci. Nella primavera del 1212 Chiara d'Assisi, nobile per nascita, lascia i propri beni e la sontuosa casa paterna per seguire l'esempio di Francesco. È l'inizio di una consonanza spirituale che durerà tutta la vita. Ai «fratelli» che hanno cominciato a raccogliersi attorno al Poverello si aggiungono le «sorelle minori», ispirate da Chiara. Nel giro di pochi anni, il successo del movimento è travolgente. E i dubbi del fondatore diventano sempre più angosciosi. La Chiesa ha bisogno di un Ordine francescano forte, efficiente, solido. Ma lui riuscirà a difendere povertà e umiltà, a mantenere la semplicità delle origini? Al termine della sua esistenza, così breve e intensa, Francesco è malato, e deluso. Sembra sconfitto, ma nel momento più buio detta il Cantico di Frate Sole, splendido, gioioso inizio della letteratura italiana. Ringraziamento è l'esordio, inno la conclusione. Francesco lo sa, lo ha sempre saputo. La sorgente è una sola, un unico fine ha il creato. E ora il suo Cantico è libero di percorrere il vasto mondo. Che con lui se ne vada il dolore, assieme a lui si diffonda la lode.Giulio Busi (Bologna, 1960) è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio. Ha scritto di mistica ebraica, di storia rinascimentale, della filosofia di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Collaboratore di lungo corso delle pagine culturali del «Sole – 24 Ore», ha uno stile letterario inconfondibile, incalzante e, al tempo stesso, documentatissimo. Per Mondadori ha pubblicato: Lorenzo de' Medici (2016), Michelangelo (2017), Marco Polo (2018), Cristoforo Colombo (2020), Giulio II (2021) e Gesù, il ribelle (2023), Simboli del pensiero ebraico (2024) e Giovanni, il discepolo che Gesù amava (2024).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

I learned the lake is divided by the california nevada border and we were on the Nevada side. About 20 attendees. We stayed at the retreat center Zephyr Pointe. Really fun event and very well organized for a first time event. I can only imagine how much work was involved. At the retreat Deb (meedah1) taught us how to make Japanese Short Rows. So easy! This is going to be my go to short row technique from now one Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Finished first sock and knitting on leg of the second sock. Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. Cast on before heading to retreat but made a mistake. Suppose to cast on with larger needle, switch to smaller needle for nine rows of garter stitch, and then switch back to larger needle. I knit it all with the larger needle. Then got to the retreat and tried to do short rows. Oh boy, what a mistake. My counts were way off. Came home and unraveled the whole project and started over. Deer Scarf: Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I am making a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday. Added fringe to beginning edge and knit about 48 inches. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Kelly's Projects Izzy Bears are finished and dropped off at school! Weaving in ends on the Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. Using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). Love the sweater, love the fit. Finished Combing the remaining CVM. I've brought it in for fall spinning. Natural Dyeing Experiments Toyon gave me yellow and orange depending on how long I soaked the leaves. Dried tan oak leaves from a long ago camping trip and walnut leaves from the backyard gave me light brown so I'm letting it continue to soak this week. Lambtown Festival Lambtown is October 4-5 (workshops start Oct 2) in Dixon, CA. Home-A-Long October 1st to December 31st We haven't had a contest for knitters or crocheters in a really long time.

We've been to London. We've been to Paris. We've been to Milan. And for this episode, we're rounding out the “Big Four" and taking the podcast to fashion week in New York! To help tell this story we're handing the hosting duties over to a familiar voice—our de facto fashion field corespondent—Vice President Fashion Director at Nordstrom, Rickie De Sole. Rickie takes the reins and dives into the history and influence of New York on the fashion industry with special guest Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA—the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The CFDA has been in charge of organizing New York's fashion week calendar since 2014, and notably have been instrumental in promoting and guiding established and emerging American designers. We'll also stop by the headquarters of the luxury women's ready-to-wear and accessories brand Altuzarra, to speak with the extremely talented founder, CEO and Creative Director, Joseph Altuzarra. While in town, Rickie will also visit our Nordstrom New York flagship store to connect with a few more of our merchant leaders and discuss the kinds of experiences that you'll find when you walk through our doors during fashion week. And on top of all that, Rickie will also take us backstage after the Tory Burch show to meet briefly with Tory and give us a sense of how she's feeling about her collection.

Lost luggage, sequin bathers, and start-line poses we probably shouldn't attempt… Elise is home from Italy and Alice is back from Portland and Hood to Coast with a LOT to unpack. From field-event fandom at the World Athletics Championships, to Sydney Marathon's debut as a Major, to Elise's short-and-sharp build for New York, this one's part catch-up, part race recap, and part therapy. Spoiler: trail relays are brutal, you can never have enough cowboy-boot shot glasses, and sunglasses at night might be a thing. If this episode made you laugh, crave tomato salads, or impulse buy a sparkly one-piece, share it with a mate, rate/review the pod, and follow along as Elise builds to New York with AB in tow as number one hype gal. -- This episode is sponsored by Mikro Coffee Roasters.

Doveva essere la serata del ritorno a Manchester di Kevin De Bruyne, ma si è trasformata in qualcosa di totalmente diverso. L'espulsione di Di Lorenzo ha costretto Conte a cambiare assetto e a sostituire il fuoriclasse belga. Da lì il Napoli ha resistito come ha potuto ai colpi del City, ma alla fine gli inglesi hanno la meglio per 2-0. Commentiamo lo sfortunato esordio in Champions del Napoli con due scrittori napoletani: Maurizio De Giovanni e Marco Bellinazzo del Sole 24 Ore. Voliamo a Indianapolis dove Carlo Genta ci aspetta con il team di Cetilar Racing composto da Lorenzo Patrese e la coppia padre-figlio Roberto e Nicola Lacorte. Scopriremo insieme i segreti di questa pista storica e anche nuovi progetti della GT numero 47.

The energy at Tribeca was unmatched this year
Netanyahu isolato fuori e dentro Israele: per l’ONU a Gaza è genocidio, la Commissione presenta la sua proposta per le prime sanzioni, i familiari degli ostaggi sul piede di guerra. Ne parliamo con Ugo Tramballi, consigliere scientifico ISPI ed editorialista del Sole 24 Ore. In estate in Italia 4500 morti per caldo, triste primato europeo. A rilevarlo è uno studio dell’ Imperial college e della School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine di Londra. Sentiamo Roberta Villa, giornalista e medico, autrice della newsletter “Fosforo e miele”. Atteso per oggi il primo taglio dei tassi in nove mesi da parte della Fed. Ue, Draghi suona l’allarme: “L’inazione minaccia la sovranità dell’Europa”. Il commento di Alberto Orioli, editorialista del Sole 24 Ore.
The 10th stop of the Move Her Mind Event Series with ASICS took us to Louisville, Kentucky! We sat down with Julie Sergent, Physical Therapist and Founder of Sergent Wellness, for an insightful conversation on the power of strength training for women. We dove into common myths about physical therapy, practical routines, and everyday habits that can benefit us all.We've got a couple more stops, so join us at a city near you and bonus points if you bring a friend who needs your support & encouragement to start a movement habit. And if you're not able to attend in person, we'll be sharing all of these conversations on Fuel for the Sole.For more details: https://www.asics.com/us/en-us/move-her-mind/
Il secondo trimestre 2025 ha registrato un incremento del turismo rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2024, con gli arrivi in aumento dell’1,1% e le presenze del 4,7%. Aprile ha mostrato 10,6 milioni di arrivi e 29,8 milioni di presenze (+1,1% e +6,2%), maggio ha segnato un calo con 13,4 milioni di arrivi e 38,8 milioni di presenze (-2,1% e -3,0%), mentre giugno è stato il mese più turistico con 16,8 milioni di arrivi e 59 milioni di presenze (+3,9% e +9,7%). Le presenze dei turisti italiani sono aumentate del 3,0% e quelle dei turisti stranieri del 5,9%, con questi ultimi a rapresentare il 60,5% del mercato. Le presenze negli esercizi alberghieri sono cresciute del 4,3%, mentre il comparto extra alberghiero ha registrato i migliori risultati (+6,1% arrivi e +5,4% presenze). Affrontiamo il tema con Bernabo' Bocca, presidente Federalberghi, e Pier Ezhaya, presidente ASTOI Confindustria Viaggi.Sud, il PNRR spinge gli occupanti +65% di impatto rispetto al nordIl Pnrr ha stimolato l’occupazione nel Mezzogiorno, che nel secondo trimestre 2025 è arrivata al 50,1%, il dato più alto dal 2004. L’Ifel ha calcolato che il Piano determinerà nel 2026 un aumento degli occupati dell’1,65% a livello nazionale, mentre nel Sud l’aumento sarà del 2,18%, superiore del 32% rispetto alla media nazionale e del 65% rispetto al Centro-Nord. Le regioni più favorite sono Molise (+3%), Calabria (+2,71%) e Sicilia (+2,51%), mentre Friuli-Venezia Giulia (+0,57%), Bolzano (+0,66%) ed Emilia Romagna (+0,73%) sono in fondo alla graduatoria. L’effetto è dovuto al 40% dei fondi destinati al Mezzogiorno e a un ampio bacino di forza lavoro disponibile, con ricadute positive sul Pil nazionale (+0,7% nel 2025 e +1% nel 2026). Il commento è di Gaetano Quagliariello, direttore School of Government della Luiss.Un anno dopo il rapporto Draghi, l'ex premier continua a predicare nel deserto?A un anno dalla pubblicazione del rapporto Draghi sulla competitività europea, la Commissione Ue celebra i progressi fatti, ma gli avanzamenti risultano limitati. Ursula von der Leyen ha sottolineato quanto realizzato nei primi nove mesi del secondo esecutivo, ricordando l’obiettivo di una tabella di marcia concreta. Mario Draghi ha criticato la lentezza dell’Europa e le condizioni sfavorevoli imposte dagli Stati Uniti sui dazi, sottolineando la crescente competitività della Cina e la dipendenza europea dagli Stati Uniti in ambito difensivo. Interviene Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Sole 24 Ore Bruxelles.

Shout out to Littletownknitter–Tracy who is recovering from surgery. Bailey finished her Companion Dog (CD) title. Marsha's Projects Rag Rugs: Finished! Planned on two 24”x36” rugs. Final size 28”x32”. Such a fun project! Socks: Finished! Paton Kroy in colorway Rag Rug. Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Working on foot of the first sock. Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. Deer Scarf: Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I am making a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Spent some time cleaning the studio after the rag rug weaving. Weaving creates lots of dust, threads, and pieces of fabric. Cleaned desk and set up sewing machine which I think will work well for sewing. I'm trying not to buy anything for the studio but find what I have around the house and make it work. Kelly's Projects Started and finished spirit yarn hat #6. Took it to the college free table even though it was muggy and 70-ish this week. More Izzy Bears have ears! Still almost finished with Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. Using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). I'm on the ribbing and using a 1x1 broken rib based on Marsha's suggestion. Fireweed Socks are finished and have been worn. Love the color! Continued Combing the remaining CVM. Debating washing the stickiest leftovers of this fleece or consigning them to the compost and calling the combing done. Washing and Processing Ernest (2017 fleece) Still carding the first batch this fleece with silk. Still have to finish washing the last couple batches. Natural Dyeing Experiments I dyed three small white skeins from spirit wool (about 150 g) with fig leaves. I pre-mordanted the wool with alum, rinsed it and let it dry. Then I put it in a dyepot that had simmered for many hours. The result is a greenish gold. Future natural dyes from my yard—toyon leaves/twigs, ceanothus leaves/twigs. Also have some dried tan oak leaves from a long ago camping trip. Another possibility is to vary the water I use. I may experiment with ocean water. My tap water is quite hard so playing with the pH of my water is another possibility. Summer Spin In Prizes Listen to hear if you won!

CONTINUED Gregory Copley: Gregory Copley discusses China's military parade, calling its claim of sole WWII victory a "breathtaking fiction" meant to boost the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) collapsing credibility amidst widespread anti-CCP protests and a disrupted military. He highlights India's strategic aim for dominance in Central and South Asia, leading to its presence at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, but not the parade. Copley also notes Europe's fiscal crises, exemplified by France and the UK, which face speculation of IMF bailouts due to political unwillingness to implement spending cuts and a growing reliance on the US for defense. 1914 BAEDECKER PEKING
#STATETHINKING: @MARYKISSEL FORMER SENIOR ADVISER TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE. EXECUTIVE VP STEPHENS INC. Mary Kissel: Mary Kissel critiques China's military parade, labeling Xi Jinping's claim of sole WWII victory a "complete fiction" aimed at promoting a "new world order" and expanding influence. She expresses concern over India's presence at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, viewing it as a potential move towards neutrality that could undermine US efforts to counter China's regional militarization. Kissel also attributes the rise of Eurosceptic, pro-Russian populist parties in Europe to the failure of mainstream political parties to adequately address citizens' economic realities, leading to cynicism and a challenge to US policy. 1908 PEKING
