In Episode 358 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright unravel the threads of global propaganda, economic upheaval, and narrative control as the old world order teeters on collapse. They begin with Trump's Memorial Day speech and transition into his escalating economic strategy, highlighting a new 10% universal tariff, a push for nuclear energy dominance, and the strategic move to position Bitcoin inside retirement portfolios. The duo breaks down the mainstream meltdown over these policies, framing the reactions as signs of desperation from a dying regime. They also tackle the CIA's aggressive push to seed anti-Trump narratives internationally, with a spotlight on a UK Guardian op-ed warning foreign leaders about a second Trump term. From the debt ceiling theater to new revelations around the DOJ, auto-pen scandals, and the medical establishment's crumbling credibility, Jon and B.B. argue we're watching the “controlled demolition” of a corrupt system. Along the way, they explore media framing techniques, the military's evolving role, and what it means to hold the line as truth-tellers in the digital age. This episode is a high-octane mix of strategy, symbolism, and straight talk for those navigating the end of the old world—and preparing for the new one.

California has invested tens of billions of dollars in preventing climate change, billions more than California's investment in adapting to the effects of climate change and directly preventing disasters. And now, the devastation of the recent Los Angeles wildfires is further proof that governments need to focus on protecting citizens through cheap and simple investments in climate adaptation rather than expensive and inefficient investments in climate change prevention. Bjorn Lomborg is the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, the former director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute, and the author of the best-selling book The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001). He has been named one of Time's 100 most influential people and one of the UK Guardian's “50 people who can save the planet.” His latest book is Best Things First: The 12 Most Efficient Solutions for the World's Poorest and Our Global SDG Promises (Copenhagen Consensus Center, 2023).Read the transcript here.

It's in our water, our food, and so many other products we use on a daily basis, from non-stick pans to popcorn bags. And it's making us really sick.More and more scientists are becoming concerned that PFAS chemicals, also known as “forever chemicals,” are impacting human health. Evidence is growing that links these everyday exposures, particularly to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (or EDCs), are linked to cancer, infertility, birth defects, asthma, allergies, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and more.In this episode, we talk to one of the world's leading environmental health scientists and advocates about the impact of forever chemicals and what we can do about it. Arlene Blum is the founder and executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute. This is a replay from 2022.We cover:

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Novo Nordisk moves ahead with a new combination: once-weekly insulin icodec and semaglutide. Called IcoSema, Novo plans to submit for approval in Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia but NOT the US. As we told you earlier this summer, icodec – once weeky basal insulin – was not approved by the US FDA. Semaglutide is the molecule underpinning Novo's immensely popular GLP-1 drugs Ozempic and Wegovy. Icodec has been approved as Awiqli in places like Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia but was snubbed by the FDA last month. The FDA has left the door open for another application, but Novo says they don't expect to iron it out this year. In studies, the combination worked well to lower A1C for people with type 2 and they lost weight. They also had fewer lows. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/corrected-after-icodec-rejection-novo-nordisk-wont-file-application-once-weekly-insulin-and   XX An update from Tandm on their app recall. Back in March they notified users of the recall because of an issue that can cause rapid depletion of a user's t:slim X2 insulin pump battery. This battery depletion can result in the pump shutting down sooner than expected, which some customers have continued to experience even after an updated version of the app was released. Notices were emailed to impacted customers on August 9, 2024 with updated information and recommendations for helping avoid pump battery depletion. Tandem plans to release a new version of the app to address the remaining issues and will notify all users by email and app push notifications following its release. Impacted customers in the U.S. with questions about this recall can contact the Tandem Diabetes Care Technical Support Team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at techsupport@tandemdiabetes.com or (877) 801-6901. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240812040222/en/Tandem-Diabetes-Care-Provides-Update-on-March-2024-Nationwide-Recall-of-tconnect-Mobile-App-for-iOS-Devices XX If you are an adult who has type 1 diabetes, you may be eligible to participate in a trial examining the impact of an investigational liver-targeted insulin on blood glucose control, A1C, and nighttime lows. This study is researching whether administering a liver-targeting insulin called HDV-L insulin (Hepatocyte-directed Vesicles-insulin lispro), will improve glycemic control. HDV-L insulin is designed to act on the liver to enhance glucose storage and decrease the frequency of severe hypoglycemia in individuals requiring insulin. It is not currently approved for use. For this trial, researchers are recruiting roughly 230 adults with type 1 diabetes aged 18-79 who are on multiple daily injections (MDI). This study is recruiting in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. To enroll or learn more about this study, contact Todd Hobbs, MD at Diasome Pharmaceuticals at thobbs@diasome.com or call 216-780-9324. Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT06238778 https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/new-study-tests-liver-targeted-insulin-type-1-diabetes XX Sanofi is investing heavily to boost insulin production. They opened a new facility in Germany for the basal insulin Lantus and they announced they will invest over one billion dollars to expand production capacity in France. Sanofi's considerable investment in insulin production is especially important given that other insulin companies appear to be focusing their efforts on production of GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic, rather than insulin. This has left some patients worried that Novo Nordisk and Lilly will leave them behind to pursue more lucrative products for weight loss, especially after Novo Nordisk decided to discontinue the basal insulin Levemir. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-medications/sanofi-build-new-state-art-insulin-plant   XX Hoping to talk to Abbott and Medtronic soon about their partnership announced earlier this month. The companies announced that Abbot will create an integrated continuous glucose monitor that works only with Medtronic's diabetes technology and be sold exclusively by Medtronic. Along with announcing the partnership, Medtronic said Wednesday it received FDA approval for its Simplera CGM, which does not require fingersticks or overtape, unlike the company's previous sensors. The Simplera Sync sensor, which is designed to work with Medtronic's automated insulin delivery algorithm, is under FDA review separately. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/abbott-medtronic-partnership-automated-insulin-delivery/723600/ XX Researchers have developed a novel computer algorithm that can predict various diseases like diabetes or stroke, just by analysing the colour of the human tongue with 98 per cent accuracy. The imaging system developed by Middle Technical University (MTU) and the University of South Australia (UniSA) in Australia can diagnose conditions such as diabetes, stroke, anaemia, asthma, liver and gallbladder issues, Covid-19, and other vascular and gastrointestinal diseases. "The colour, shape, and thickness of the tongue can reveal a litany of health conditions," said Ali Al-Naji, adjunct Associate Professor at MTU and UniSA. The paper published in Technologies describes how the system analyses tongue colour to provide real-time diagnoses, demonstrating that AI can advance medical practices significantly. The breakthrough was achieved through a series of experiments using 5,260 images to train machine-learning algorithms to detect tongue colour. Researchers received 60 tongue images from two teaching hospitals in the Middle East, representing patients with diverse health conditions. The AI model matched tongue colour with the correct disease in nearly all cases. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/new-algorithm-analyses-tongue-to-predict-diabetes-stroke-with-98-accuracy-6327124 XX Big roundup article from the UK Guardian all about 6 projects all around smart insulin. Not a lot new here, but it caused a lot of chatter. I'll link it up – good summary of all of the research happening in the space right now. Glucose-responsive insulin is the idea that you could give one injection and the insulin would respond to the rise and fall of glucose levels without further action by the person.   https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/11/scientists-hail-smart-insulin-responds-changing-blood-sugar-levels-real-time-diabetes XX Edgepark Commercial XX Lance Bass (like glass) continues to keep the public posted on his recent LADA diagnosis. The boy band singer showing his IG audience more about what's also called diabetes 1.5 and explaining how he was first diagnosed with type 2. XX Ok, brace yourself – I promise this is a real story. The Fart Walk is actually good for you. Ok.. stay with me. This is really just a great silly reframing of something we all know, and I couldn't resist putting it in here. A wellness influencer put this out – you may have seen it – claiming the after dinner stroll can limit your risk of type 2 diabetes. A lot of studies confirm that – along with it having benefits if you already have diabetes. The flatulence part – or a release of gastric pressure – is also a known benefit of moving more after meals. So it's funny, farts are always funny, but if it gets more people to walk after they eat I'm all for it.   https://people.com/fart-walk-benefits-what-is-it-type-2-diabetes-8694630#:~:text=Wellness%20influencer%20Mairlyn%20Smith%20has,of%20day%20you%20do%20it XX Join us again soon!

In the 80's there were a number of influential artists creating electronic songs. One of them was the Pet Shop Boys. Neil Tennant and Keyboardist Chris Lowe are a London-based duo who have made their mark in the music industry since their formation in 1981. Crafting an eclectic blend of pop, electronic and dance music. The Pet Shop Boys provided much more than just entertainment to their listeners - often including socially conscious messages about love, society and politics which earned them recognition globally. They are known for many classic hits like "It's a Sin" to "Go West". Another one of their greatest hits is “West End Girls” because of its social commentary. Take a listen to it here. West End Girls was released in 1984 and it was about class and inner-city pressure. This song was labeled by the UK Guardian as the number one greatest single. Songs like this and others from the 80's based on modern standards are not considered EDM but they were innovative and influential during their time to help create the genre of EDM we have today. That's it for Vinyl's from the past, now let's get back to more music. A.Paul: Start – 20:56  and   End -26:13Portugal DJ and Producer, A.Paul is known for his special blend of techno, tech house, and other electronic sub-genres..He has released tons of original compositions, remixes and collaboration.

US Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) is obviously trying to get Democrats on the record on whether they support late term abortions. The leftwing UK Guardian reports: Senator Lindsey Graham was proposing legislation on Tuesday for a nationwide 15-week abortion ban, a politically risky strategy as a backlash grows to the supreme court ruling earlier this summer overturning federal protections for the procedure. Polling shows that 57% of Americans disapproved of the court's June reversal of the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling guaranteeing access to abortion, and 62% say the procedure should be legal in all or most cases. The proposal by Graham, a hardline South Carolina Republican, will be called the “Protecting Pain-capable Unborn Children from Late-term Abortions Act”. It stands next to no chance of becoming law, but is seen by analysts as an attempt to frame the discussion around abortion, with fewer than 60 days until the midterms. Also, President Biden announces a celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act's 4-week anniversary - just as the new report shows inflation increased. And Mark Garrison discusses the new Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department media policy, and says it was deceptively framed by the Chief last night during the City Council meeting.      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He focuses on micro expressions, which are facial movements that give us away and makes it hard to hide our true feelings. He also says that non-verbal clues give the most value in a conversation. It's not only what the person is saying, but how that look and act when they are saying it. Today on Reset with Raven: How to reset your interactions with people by reading themBody language and facial expressions decided Using profiling as a truth seeker not a lie detectorA problem shared and not acted upon is a problem magnified Connect with your host Raven M.

The verdict in the Sussman case may seem like just another example of Hillary Clinton "getting away with it." And it is. But there is far more to be concerned about in the case. Also today: Supremes smack down Texas social media law and UK Guardian slams Russia sanctions as counterproductive.

If you have been impacted by grief whether it is due to the death of a loved one or ambiguous loss of family members, then, this episode is for you! Welcome to today's episode featuring my amazing guest Dr Mary Frances O'Connor. Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor is a renowned grief expert, neuroscientist, Psychologist and an PhD associate professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab where she investigates the effects of grief on the brain and the body. Mary Frances's work has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, and Psychological Science. Mary has also been featured in the Newsweek, the New York Times, and, The UK Guardian and The Washington Post. The Grieving Brain addresses; - Why it's so hard to understand that loved one has died and is gone forever - Why grief causes so many emotions - sadness, anger, blame, guilt and yearning - Why grieving takes so long - What happens in the brain during grief - The distinction between grief and complicated grief - Why we ruminate so much after we lose a loved one - How we ago about restoring a meaningful life while grieving. Grief is something that we're all going to experience at some point in our lives and sadly it is unavoidable. By becoming familiar of what we will actually go through, we can somehow have some mental preparation and also realise that we're not alone in how we feel. Family estrangement is categorised as an ambiguous loss which also involves the processes of grieving. Family estrangement is complicated and I believe the book discussed in this episode and the episode itself will shed some lights as why you're struggling family estrangement.

In a recent interview with the UK Guardian, 90-year old William Shatner of Star Trek fame reflected on his life, “Here's an interesting answer!” he says perkily. “I'm glad I didn't know because what you know at 90 is: take it easy, nothing matters in the end, what goes up must come down. If I'd known that at 20, I wouldn't have done anything!” It was clear he took his life's triumphs and tragedies in stride and found understanding in his children and grandchildren that lived nearby. He also recognized the great dichotomies of life that in the end we must just accept. No theologian, yet, life had brought him wisdom, he hearkened the wise words of Ecclesiasters: The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!”     says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless!     Everything is meaningless.” Ole' Captain Kirk was truly spinning some words of wisdom we need to remember when life distracts us from what matters.

It's not often you speak to the author of a book that EVERYONE has heard of. This week I got the chance. Max Brooks. Max-freaking-Brooks, author of global bestseller World War Z is here. But rather than the undead, we're talking hairy things in the woods, technological dependence and woke hipsters being eaten.Max's latest novel, Devolution, regales us with the lives (and deaths) of an eco-community living deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Stranded by a disaster, they fall prey first to their own inadequacy and then to the very adequate hunger of roaming sasquatch, We've talked Bigfoot and cryptozoology a lot on this show in recent weeks. But this is the big bad daddy of them all. A satire, a found-footage document, an adventure story, but also a blood, guts and claw-filled horror novel. It's much grimmer than you may expect.As well as monsters, Max and I discuss hokey documentaries, primate research, driverless cars, the cursed legacy of Steve Jobs and skewering our own liberal echo chamber. But it all centres on how patently unprepared our society really is for crisis. Enjoy.Devolution is published in paperback on June 10th by Del Rey. Other books and documentaries discussed in this episode include:Bigfoot: The Mysterious Monsters (1976) directed by Robert GuenetteNight of the Crabs (1976), by Guy N. SmithWorld War Z (2006), by Max BrooksThe Harlem Hellfighters (2014), by Max BrooksMy review of Devolution in the UK Guardian can be found HERE.Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TalkingScaredPodCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Thanks to Adrian Flounders for graphic design.

Renowned Black Activist Pushes Back Against BLM, Releases Pro-Trump Victory Song & Video BLACK AUTHOR/PERFORMER AVAILABLE: Lloyd Marcus, performer of the Trump Train 2020 Video for Re-Election and author of Confessions of a Black Conservative: How the Left Has Shattered the Dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Black America A nationally-recognized Black conservative activist is pushing back against Black Lives Matter (BLM). Lloyd Marcus, patriotic singer, author, and self-titled “Unhyphenated American,” is using his media platform to boldly refute BLM's radical leftist policies to transform America. A renowned patriotic singer and author, Marcus performed his original, “American Tea Party Anthem” at over 500 conservative rallies and events across America.

News about the US military spreading COVID in Okinawa and Guahan has been reported on NPR, the UK Guardian, and other news sites. Today you have the chance to listen to long-time Okinawan feminist activist Suzuyo Takazato. She served as Naha City Council member, is a founder of Okinawa Women Act against Military Violence, and has devoted her, life working for demilitarized, genuine security for women and girls and for people of Okinawa and beyond. Also, in conversation is Lisa Natividad, professor of Social Work at the University of Guam and long-time activist working for decolonization of Guahan, the island's original name.  Finally, Ayano Ginoza, professor at University of the Ryukyus will add to the conversation by analyzing the current conditions from Island Studies perspective. We have a chance, in this moment of calling for the defunding and dismantling of the police to make the connection between here and there. Think about the police as a local segment of the national military apparatus, the military actors we face directly. What would it take to dismantle the institutions altogether? Imagine all what the nearly $2.5 billions per day the US spends on national military could pay for!!!! This amount does not include billions spent by all the cities in the US. And the bigger question is: What values must we embrace to be able to imagine genuine, life-affirming security? The post US Military and COVID in Okinawa and Guahan: What Do Colonization and Militarism Have to Do with It? appeared first on KPFA.

Overpopulation shaming has raised its ugly head to new heights with unfounded and misleading critiques of the documentary, Planet of the Humans. We thoroughly debunk the defamation in this episode, especially the deceitful and ugly attacks by UK Guardian columnist George Monbiot and filmmaker Josh Fox. We also continue the discussion of what Planet of the Humans got right. The controversial film, executive produced by Michael Moore, has been pummeled by some renewable energy enthusiasts as unfairly and inaccurately targeting renewables and as being “racist” for bringing up human overpopulation. World Population Balance co-hosted two webinar panel discussions of the film, and now the World Population Balance staff convenes for this third, and final (for now), conversation.

In recent times, media attention has been focused on the growing number of black majority churches in the UK. While church attendance in monocultural British churches is on the decline, African churches on the other hand are ‘booming'—to paraphrase a photo essay published in the UK Guardian of February 2019 titled “African churches boom in London's backstreets”. The episode describes how Black-majority churches, profiting from migration and the vibrancy of African Christianity, emphasize freedom of worship, social integration and the cultural preservation of migrants. Sharing the experiences of second-generation migrants and members of the clergy, the episode explores the borders between faith and migration. Rev Israel Olofinjana, an expert on reverse mission provided insights into factors influencing the growth of black churches in the UK while Revd Chris McDermott, the lead chaplain at the University of Sussex spoke on the formation of black churches and their influence on orthodox church practices.

Recently, in the UK Guardian, a woman told of her decision to have an abortion, but this wasn't one of those “My abortion was personally empowering” type of stories.  Hers was a real-life dilemma faced by too many women. Let me be clear: Her reasons in no way justify her decision to have an abortion, but pro-lifers should listen to her story carefully and take her circumstances seriously, if we hope to build a culture where abortion is not just illegal, but unthinkable. Charlotte Sullivan was newly married and newly employed when she learned she was pregnant. As a new hire, she didn't qualify for the six-week paid parental leave her employer offered. Her husband's job also didn't pay enough for both of them plus a new baby to live on during those six weeks. So, they agonized for several weeks before ultimately deciding to abort the child. The inner conflict she experienced in making the choice and continues to feel since, is palpable throughout the article. Sullivan's story isn't unique. Though women have abortions for a variety of reasons, there's no question that, in certain cases, financial pressures play a role for many.  We'll have to take these pressures into account, if we hope to build a culture of life. Paid family leave is a good place to start. According to current data about abortion, nearly half of women who have an abortion live below the federal poverty level. To put that in perspective, the federal poverty level for a family of two—say a husband and wife—is an income of $17,420 a year. In other words, many abortion-minded women feel they simply can't afford to take unpaid time off from work. This year, paid family leave has become a bit of a priority on various political agendas on both sides of the aisle. During his State of the Union address last week, President Trump threw his support behind the “Advancing Support for Working Families Act,” which was introduced late last year by Arizona Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema and Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy. An exclusively Democratic proposal entitled the Family Act is also on the table. Not surprisingly, there are differences between the two. The bipartisan bill favored by the president would allow couples, who become new parents by birth or adoption, to collect a portion of their future child tax credits early and receive a smaller credit for the next 10 to 15 years. As the New York Times describes, parents would be “borrowing from themselves.” Assume a new parent withdrew $5,000 to cover her six-week leave. Over the next ten years, her child tax credit, which maxes out at $2,000 a year, could be reduced by $500 a year.  At the same time, this bill “would not guarantee that a person's job is protected when taking the leave.” The Democratic proposal would be funded by a payroll tax averaging about $120 per worker and would not affect the child tax credit. Unlike the Sinema-Cassidy proposal, it would protect the employee's job. Neither bill is likely to become law this year, but the issue is getting the national attention it needs to advance. For years, the Church has taken the lead in the building a culture of life through pregnancy care centers, adoption agencies, and sound arguments. We should also back policies that will encourage women to choose life. Abortion advocates often point to poor women having to choose between their livelihood and their pregnancy. It's a red herring that distracts from the central question of whether or not abortion takes an innocent life. Still, we can only advance the cause of life by assisting women and families that face dire financial situations. Kudos to the president and to those in Congress who are seeking a way forward for paid family leave. And special thanks to those organizations and activists who've championed this cause for so long. It's a cause worthy of our support.

Matthew Gain moved from agency to in house three-and-a-half years ago with a clear goal of working at one of the FAANGs (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google). He wanted to work in a growth industry, to immerse himself in big data and he was a true believer that the future of media was going to be in global digital brands. He landed at Audible, not in a communications role though, but as country head of the emerging business. Now, as Head of Audible in JAPAC and India, Matthew shares his journey from PR consultant to running a growing technology company across the region, and one that is owned by one of the world’s biggest growth company – Amazon, no less. Listen here, watch on YouTube or download on iTunes Audible’s mission is to unlock the power of the spoken word. It allows people to consume books at times and in places they previously couldn’t – while driving a car, exercising, cooking or cleaning. Matthew notes that 84% of audible users say they still love the smell of books, so Audible is not about replacing physical books, but creating enjoyable entertainment experiences that keep people coming back. The competition, in Matthew’s view, is not Netflix or other subscription services but time and attention. To grab this attention, Audible is increasingly focusing on original content –working with authors in Australia, movie stars in Bollywood, actors in off-broadway theatre – creating great experiences that are brought to life for listening first and foremost. At its core Audible is a data business and this, Matthew says, was one of the steepest learning curves in the move from PR. “Sometimes I think the data knows more about us than we do ourselves,” Matthew says. “At Audible, the data informs our strategy. Every single person I work with is fluent in data and understand how to use data to inform the decisions they make. It is a huge a part of our day and part of every conversation.” Matthew describes a future where voice becomes ever more prevalent – we use voice to engage with the devices around us, today’s smart speakers become smarter personal assistants, and the vast majority of people – especially non-english speakers – use voice to interact with the internet and technology. After three and a half years Matthew says he’s still learning and shares a great anecdote about Audible for Dogs – that is some PR campaigns are just that, for PR, and not necessarily profitable business ventures. It shows you can’t take the PR out of the guy. In the news this episode I discuss the fallout from a recent article in the UK Guardian that revealed a lobbying firm run by Lynton Crosby – CTF Partners – allegedly built a network of unbranded websites and news pages on facebook for dozens of clients that were reportedly promoted as independent online news sources. I thought astroturfing was something I’d left behind in the university textbooks but it seems it is alive and well and ti seems has only become more prevalent in the age of social and digital media. With one industry veteran telling the UK’s PR week that astroturfing is “just another tool in the PR box that is widely used.” This is a story that is worth watching as it evolves.

When Model S, X and 3 owners update their software, they'll be able to play 2048 and Super Breakout." says Sean Keane for CNET Roadshow: "The company added the initial batch of TeslAtari games last August, and ...later removed racer Pole Position because it "couldn't resolve all the rights issues," CEO Elon Musk tweeted last month. So now the list of games, as noted by Mashable, consists of: 2048, Super Breakout, Missile Command, Asteroids, Lunar Lander and Centipede."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-adds-more-atari-games-to-its-dashboard/   ELON MUSK EXPLAINS WHY THERE IS A CAMERA INSIDE OF THE TESLA MODEL 3 "Back in 2017 we learned that the Tesla Model 3 has an inactive camera above the rearview mirror looking into the car. Seems ... creepy. Well, recently on Twitter, CEO Elon Musk revealed what that camera is doing there." reports Mashable. Elon said on Twitter: "It’s there for when we start competing with Uber/Lyft & people allow their car to earn money for them as part of the Tesla shared autonomy fleet. In case someone messes up your car, you can check the video." @MarcelFeldkamp "It's hard to wrap my head around a future where my car might be earning me money through autonomous driving while I'm asleep in my bed or play video games but here we are." @elonmusk "That’s exactly the idea.

Musk, Tesla's chairman and CEO, visited the South Park Avenue factory Friday, a Tesla spokeswoman confirmed. She did not elaborate on what Musk did here or offer any other details of the visit. She said Musk, who has never made a public visit to Buffalo, would not be speaking to local media while he is here." reports one of those local media The Buffalo Times: "The Buffalo solar panel factory, built and partially equipped by the state with $750 million in taxpayer money as part of the Buffalo Billion economic development program, has taken far longer than expected to develop as Tesla's solar energy business has shrunk and the company has focused most of its resources on its electric vehicle business. The plant, which Tesla has pledged will employ 1,460 people by April 2020, currently has fewer than 800 workers after a companywide round of job cuts earlier this year."   https://buffalonews.com/2019/04/05/there-was-an-elon-musk-sighting-in-buffalo-today/   L.A. COULD REPLACE TRADITIONAL POWER PLANTS WITH HOME SOLAR "Renewable energy experts and a new report from the solar industry say Los Angeles could generate a larger portion of its electricity with wider use of residential solar panels backed up by battery storage." says Dennis Romero: "The concept of a "virtual power plant" that could replace one of three natural gas plants being phased out by the city has already been deployed successfully in Orange County and Waltham, Vermont. But Los Angeles, where officials want to rely entirely on renewable energy by 2050, would be the largest U.S. city to go virtual." Sunrun CEO Lynn Jurich: ""What we can do is if we can put a battery with each one of those solar systems, we can link them with software and when the utility needs that power, it can be dispatched from 75,000 homes. They can replace the energy of one of those gas-power plants and be more cost effective."   https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/l-could-replace-traditional-power-plants-home-solar-experts-say-n991606   LONDON PREPARES FOR LAUNCH OF ULTRA-LOW EMISSIONS ZONE "London is preparing to enforce “world-leading” vehicle pollution restrictions from Monday as the capital attempts to clean up the toxic air blamed for thousands of premature deaths. The ultra-low emission zone, or Ulez, will launch at one minute past midnight on April 8, imposing a £12.50-a-day charge to drive into central London in all but the cleanest cars and vans." reports The UK Guardian newspaper: "The move is expected to reduce road transport emissions by around 45%. The mayor, Sadiq Khan, unveiled research showing that almost 1,000 people a year in the city were hospitalised with asthma caused by pollution. The charge will be levied inside London’s congestion charge zone around the clock, and motorists driving polluting cars during the daytime will have to pay both charges, meaning it will cost £24 to take such vehicles into central London between 7am and 6pm.

Starting this month, he takes on a new role within the automaker as the board member whose primary focus is to continue the group's electrification shift. He talked about the new Mini Electric with Automotive News Europe Correspondent Christiaan Hetzner: "We haven't revealed any details yet. We want to save that for when we get ready to debut the series production version, which will be before the Frankfurt auto show [in September]. Assembly in Oxford begins in the second half of this year and the market rollout is slated for early 2020."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/bmw-board-member-outlines-minis-long-term-electrification-plan   ELECTRIFIED MODELS NAMED AS BEST FOR HOLDING THEIR VALUE "Electric and hybrid vehicles are now the best vehicles on the road for holding their value, according to new research. Figures from What Car? showed that out of the top 10 vehicles that hold their value the best, five were electrified in one way or another." reports AOL: "Measuring a vehicle's potential worth over three years and 30,000 miles, electrified models retained 47 per cent of their value on average – compared with 43 and 40 per cent for petrol and diesel options respectively.All bar two of the worst-performing vehicles were diesel, showing just how far the fuel type has fallen out of favour with UK car buyers."   https://www.aol.co.uk/living/2019/04/05/electrified-models-named-as-best-for-holding-their-value/   2019 HYUNDAI KONA EV IS AN ELECTRIC CAR FOR EVERYONE Consumer Reports are having a love-in with the Kona Electric: "It doesn’t have a gimmick, it doesn’t feel tinny or look goofy, and it has a range long enough that it should allow you to travel to work and back—and then some. It’s just a practical car that happens to be electric."   https://www.consumerreports.org/hybrids-evs/2019-hyundai-kona-ev-first-drive-review/   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

The required software update should be available soon at Jaguar dealers. Good job @Jaguar! 100kW can be used up to 40%.   SHELL SAYS IT CAN BE WORLD'S TOP POWER PRODUCER AND PROFIT "Royal Dutch Shell Plc plans to become the world’s biggest power company within 15 years, a move that suggests it sees climate change as a bigger threat to its business than electricity’s historically weak returns." Reports Bloomberg today: "The world’s No. 2 oil explorer by market value is spending as much as $2 billion a year on its new-energies division, mainly to grow in a power sector it sees delivering 8 to 12 percent annual returns, according to Maarten Wetselaar, director of Shell’s integrated gas and new-energies unit. Shell’s acquisitions in power so far include U.K. electricity provider First Utility, car-charging operator NewMotion and a stake in U.S. solar company Silicon Ranch Corp. It has also announced it’s bidding for Dutch utility Eneco, which provides low-carbon power to industrial users and offers apps and other technology to manage electricity consumption."   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-11/shell-says-it-can-be-world-s-top-power-producer-and-make-money   BILL FORD SAYS AUTOMAKER PAIRS WELL WITH VW: SHARED ELECTRIC CARS LIKELY “Bill Ford — chairman of Ford Motor Company and great-grandson of Henry Ford — has spoken out about the potential for a partnership with Volkswagen. He believes that the two companies are set up to succeed if a joint effort comes to be." Writes Steven Loveday for an InsideEVs.com article today: "Ford says that both automakers have full realization of the difficulties involved in moving to EVs and self-driving cars."   Bill Ford told Bloomberg: "We fit together geographically really well, product line-wise, we fit together well. We both came to the same realization that as big as our balance sheets are, no company can do this alone. I’d like Ford to be around another 100 years, and if that’s going to happen, it’s clear that we really have to branch off into new directions to try to solve some of these problems. It’s hard because our current business model is providing all the earnings and cash flow that fund a lot of this change. So we have to do both really well. If we don’t make great cars and trucks today that people want, guess what? There is no tomorrow."   https://insideevs.com/bill-ford-says-vw-shared-electric-cars-likely/   JAMES BOND TO DRIVE ELECTRIC ASTON MARTIN IN NEW MOVIE "next year’s 25th Bond film looks set to have Ian Fleming’s hero make his first concession to climate change, by driving an electric Aston Martin – albeit one which retails at £250,000." Reports the UK Guardian today: "the film – whose working title of Shatterhand was recently debunked – will see Daniel Craig’s 007 behind the wheel of an Aston Martin Rapide E, one of only 155 electric cars being built by the British manufacturer. Aston Martin’s relationship with the spy franchise began in 1964, when Sean Connery drove a DB5 sports car in Goldfinger."   https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/mar/13/james-bond-to-drive-electric-aston-martin-in-new-movie   ELON RETWEETS: "HOW DOES A TESLA MODEL 3 IMPACT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL?" "Who better than Engineering Explained to break down electricity costs for owning and EV like the Tesla Model 3? We’ve learned that one of the most common questions from potential EVs owners is: How much will my home electric bill go up from charging my EV?" Says Steven Loveday at InsideEVs.com: "In the end, when looking at more realistic gas prices, an EV like the Tesla Model 3 will save you a ton of money. The best part is, Engineering Explained provides a nice, easy equation so that you can run the comparisons yourself before you move forward."   https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-3-analysis-ev-cheap-drive/   NEWMOTION REACHES NETWORK OF MORE THAN 100,000 CHARGE POINTS NewMotion is the first in the industry to have reached more than 100,000 charge points in its roaming charging network in Europe. The company works together with over 200 roaming partners to build this extensive network of public charge points, allowing EV drivers to roam seamlessly across 28 countries in Europe. More than 170,000 registered NewMotion charge card holders are already enjoying the benefits of Europe’s largest roaming charging network. This charge card includes seamless international billing and settlement with specified VAT per country, allowing a transparent and easy EV charging experience across Europe for businesses and individuals.   https://electriccarsreport.com/2019/03/newmotion-reaches-major-milestone-with-network-of-more-than-100000-charge-points/   UK MOTORWAYS TO GET 50 NEW EV FAST CHARGERS "More than 50 new electric vehicle charging points will be built near Britain’s motorways and main roads as part of a £2.8 million deal." Writes James Fossdyke for InsideEVs.com today: "Highways England, the government-run company in charge of England’s strategic road network, awarded the contract jointly to BP Chargemaster and Swarco UK as part of its drive to promote the uptake of electric cars. The organisation wants to ensure that 95 percent of its network is within 20 miles of a charging point, in the hope that this will encourage more motorists to switch to electric power."   https://insideevs.com/uk-motorways-50-new-ev-fast-chargers/   2019 WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR FINALISTS ANNOUNCED IN GENEVA The top 4 finalists for the 2019 World Car of the Year award have been announced at the Geneva Motor Show, where the Jaguar I-Pace grabbed the European Car Of The Year Award. A jury of 86 distinguished international automotive journalists selected the following “Top Three In The World” finalists by secret ballot based on their evaluation with each candidate as part of their professional work. World Car of the Year Audi e-tron Jaguar I-PACE Volvo S60/V60   https://electriccarsreport.com/2019/03/2019-world-car-of-the-year-finalists-announced-in-geneva/   PORSCHE INVESTS $678 MILLION IN LEIPZIG TO PRODUCE ELECTRIC MACAN Mark Kane at InsideEVs is tearing into the current VW group announcements: "Porsche announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing plant in Leipzig, Germany, worth €600 million ($678 million). The facility will get a new body shop with a total area of 75,500 square meters for the next-generation Macan, which will be manufactured from the beginning of the next decade."   Porsche says: "“The expansion project gives Porsche the option to produce fully electric vehicles on the existing production line in addition to petrol and hybrid models in the future. The first car to benefit from extended factory premises will be the next generation of the Macan: As a purely electrically powered vehicle based on the “Premium Platform Electric” (PPE) architecture, the new Macan will roll off the assembly line in Leipzig at the beginning of the next decade.”   https://insideevs.com/porsche-invest-to-produce-electric-macan/   TOYOTA IS LOSING THE ELECTRIC CAR RACE, SO IT PRETENDS HYBRIDS ARE BETTER "There are at least 12 car companies currently selling an all-electric vehicle in the United States, and Toyota isn’t one of them. Despite admitting recently that the Tesla Model 3 alone is responsible for half of Toyota’s customer defections in North America — as Prius drivers transition to all-electric — the company has been an outspoken laggard in the race to electrification." According to the deSmog website: "Last week, at the Geneva Auto Show, a Toyota executive provided a curious explanation for the company’s refusal to launch a single battery electric vehicle. As Car and Driver reported, Toyota claims that it is limited by battery production capacity and that “Toyota is able to produce enough batteries for 28,000 electric vehicles each year — or for 1.5 million hybrid cars.” In other words, because Toyota has neglected to invest in battery production, it can only produce enough batteries for a trivial number of all-electric vehicles."   https://www.desmogblog.com/2019/03/12/toyota-losing-electric-car-race-pretends-hybrids-better   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

How do we handle the despair of knowing we may not win this battle with climate change (which is really a battle with ourselves)? Should we keep fighting? And if we do, WHO needs to be making the drastic changes we know are needed to avoid the worst of climate change disaster? Is it you and me? The big corporations? Or is it our elected policymakers? Are we assuming too much personal responsibility for goosing climate change or not enough? Are we in such a dire situation that we shouldn’t even bother “greening” up our lives, because that is so far from enough? In this episode former UK Guardian columnist and author of All You Need is Less, Madeleine Sommerville, joins host Dave Gardner to ponder these questions. LINKS: Spaceship Earth Passenger Safety Briefing  (short GrowthBusters film) All You Need is Less (Madeleine Sommerville’s Guardian Column) All You Need is Less: The Eco-Friendly Guide to Guilt-Free Green Living and Stress-Free Simplicity (Madeleine Sommerville’s book) In our conversation, Madeleine mentioned she felt she could only write so many times about buying green products. Well, what about NOT buying? The next day I read 5 Things You Need (No Purchase Required) To Go Zero Waste by Lindsay Miles (her blog is Treading My Own Path: Steps Toward a Sustainable Lifestyle. She’s written a few e-books, including Enough is Enough: 18 Ideas for Embracing a Life with Less Waste and Less Stuff, and Beginners Guide to Living with Less Plastic). Check it all out.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America serve up all crazy martinis Tuesday.  They begin with a report from the UK Guardian newspaper that Paul Manafort met multiple times with Julian Assange in London, including early 2016 when Manafort was about to become chairman for the Trump campaign.  They also get a kick out of Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke abandoning his pledge never to run for president in 2020 just three weeks after making it.  And they wonder whether taxpayers will wind up on the hook again as President Trump tries to stop General Motors from shuttering five plants and laying off thousands of workers in the U.S.

Too busy to meditate? Can't turn off your brain? Curious about mindfulness but more comfortable in the gym? This podcast episode with Jeff Warren is for you.ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word “namaste” without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation's most vocal public proponents. Harris found that meditation made him more focused and less yanked around by his emotions. According to his wife, it also made him less annoying. Science suggests that the practice can lower your blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain. So what's holding you back?In Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, Harris and Jeff Warren, a masterful teacher and “Meditation MacGyver,” embark on a gonzo cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that keep people from meditating. It is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions—all of which are also available (for free) on the 10% Happier app. This book is a trip worth taking.Former journalist at CBC Radio's The Current and Ideas.

Two of these pieces – one on animal consciousness – won gold medals at the Canadian National Magazine Awards.In the early 2000s, Jeff began working on a book about the science and inner experience of waking, sleeping and dreaming.

Chicago –born Matt LeGrand has explored the wide variety of musical inspirations that the windy city had to offer,  learning guitar, drums, and even dabbling with songwriting. He also experimented with different bands and duos in college that finally inspired him to find a sound all his own. Legendary artists manager Bryant Reid  discovered LeGrand in 2015 and is confident he’s found another potentially explosive new artist, saying , "In all of my years in the recorded music business, I must say that Matt LeGrand is one of the hardest working young artists that I've encountered. “  With an ever growing fan-base who call themselves The Legrand Girls.  He released the highly successful “All Good” song and video  in 2017, released  “12:00 AM”  this year, and debuted live in NYC this summer.

No civilization should head out into the world without “Doughnut Economics” in its survival kit. With her modernized thinking, economist Kate Raworth is, in her words, “flipping economics on its head.” UK Guardian columnist George Monbiot calls her new book, Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, “brilliant, thrilling and revolutionary.” In this first of a two-part conversation, Raworth explains why it’s way past time to update the approach to economics that’s been taught for over a century. She outlines seven fundamentals to achieving a healthy 21st century economy. Kate advocates painting a new mural over the “intellectual graffiti” keeping us locked into outdated economic thinking.

Gordon Swaby is the CEO and Founder of EduFocal Limited, an E-Learning web application for students at the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) and Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) levels. Featured on the BBC, he was a Speaker at President Obama's Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University in 2016. He is a tech trailblazer, revolutionizing the approach to education in Jamaica. #PeakPerformers, Gordon shares about his gamification business on TheEntrepYou today! Click To Tweet Show  Notes: What crazy activities do you dream of trying someday? I want to do sky diving and snowboarding off a mountain. When and why did you start EduFocal? I started in late 2011. We officially launched March 15, 2012. We just celebrated our 5th birthday. We borrow methods from video gaming and implemented it into the learning process. We use the level up system and the leader board. We offer over 15,000 test prep questions for students. They pay a subscription fee and then they start answering questions. Once they answer the question correctly, they are earning experience points and they're leveling up and winning prizes at the same time and being ranked on the leader board. That's fun for students, especially the younger ones. They find it interactive and captivating. At the conceptualization, how did you know that this model would be effective? To be honest I didn't. We did no surveys before. It didn't cross my mind at the time to do any testing. I kind of went out on a limb, built this application and then looked for feedback afterwards. And that's a terrible idea, don't do that! Take us through the failures… When we started out we anticipated that we would have gotten a lot of traction from the teachers as it was supposed to be teacher and student-centric. Our original plan was that teachers would come on, they would add their questions and their content. Based on the engagement of the content, they would be compensated. If you're a teacher on the platform and students are engaging your content in a big way, that would determine how much you're being paid at the end of the month. We saw that a lot of teachers weren't trained to use computers or they weren't interested. They were indifferent to the entire thing so we had to shift that model a little bit and focus more on it being student-centric. This was a big shift or a pivot into focusing on something else. We should have at least went out and spoken to the teachers first to get feedback to determine if this is something they would have been interested in. Another one is that I hired too early and hired the wrong people. I wasted a lot of money ‘un-learning'. I think I was caught up in the hype to say that I have a team. I'm happy that I learnt those lessons early. What are some of the elements that you look for in a team? We look for people who are committed to change; to work on something that is not easy but is rewarding and fulfilling work. I prefer to work with younger people that are not as hardened in their ways. I look for people who are go-getters who can take initiative. I look for entrepreneurial people. How did you get buy-in from the students? Before we got buy-in from the students we had to get buy-in elsewhere. We needed teachers, so we changed the way we were engaging them. I worked on getting credibility in the market place. People saw the media as validation for what you're doing; people take the media seriously and that give you credibility. The awards did that as well to validate – my first big award was the PSOJ's 50 Under 50 Award a couple months after I started EduFocal and that set things in motion for me. That has been my strategy from day 1. We've been featured on BBC, the UK Guardian, Virgin, Richard Branson has mentioned me in articles he's written, we've been featured in the Trinidad Guardian, Trinidad Express and so on helping to push EduFocal credibility. What has accounted for your level of success?

The Lemon Twigs have recently toured the US, Europe, and Japan after the release of their first album, Do Hollywood.  An article by Michael Hann in the UK Guardian said this about a song on the album:  "These Words is the missing track from side one of Rundgren’s Something/Anything, with a harmony chorus that expands like a hot air balloon".  https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/oct/13/the-lemon-twigs-do-hollywood-album-review-4ad The Twigs recently brought out Todd Rundgren at Coachella to perform "Couldn't I Just Tell You" as an encore. The Lemon Twigs are an American pop/rock band from Long Island, New York, United States, fronted by brothers Brian D’Addario and Michael D’Addario. Both brothers are vocalists, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, and are joined for most live performances by Megan Zeankowski on bass and Danny Ayala on keyboards and backing vocals. The band was signed to British alternative music label 4AD in 2015. Their debut album, Do Hollywood, was released in October 2016 to widespread critical acclaim.  A number of pop music figures have publicly expressed admiration for the Twigs: Elton John, The Zombies, Boy George, Laura Marling, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and Gary Brooker of Procol Harum.

Ronnie D'Addario began singing and playing, including bass guitar, professionally in his early twenties. He grew up listening to 1960's pop music.  Ronnie played guitar with Tommy Makem of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem fame for two decades in concerts, recordings, and TV shows.   His credits include an appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, TV commercial jingles, and six PBS shows with Tommy Makem (where he performed with Judy Collins).  He also produced the album, Live At the Irish Pavilion, a favorite among Makem fans, and has produced several other artists including Morning Star, Mary O'Dowd, Danny Quinn, and The Irish Mist.  His song, "Falling for Love," was recorded by The Carpenters in 1981.  His song,”Take In a Show” was featured on the TV Sitcom, “New Girl” in 2017. Ronnie is the father of Brian and Michael of the Lemon Twigs who have recently toured the US, Europe, and Japan after the release of their first album, Do Hollywood.  An article in the UK Guardian said the song "These Words" from that album could be a missing track from Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything? album.  They recently brought out Rundgren at Coachella to perform "Couldn't I Just Tell You" as an encore. The Lemon Twigs regularly perform their dad's song, "Love Stepped Out," from his first album, Take In a Show.  Ronnie's last album is called A Very Short Dream.   Ronnie has just finished a brand new album entitled, The Many Moods of Papa Twig.  His music is available on www.youarethecosmos.com.

In this podcast, guest interviewer Colin Lewis interviews Susan Daly editor of thejournal.ie - Ireland's online news website. In the interview Daly discusses how traditional journalism formats can exist in an online environment. The brainchild of Eamon and Brian Fallon and is aimed as being a community site based around news. The interview discusses the 'link-economy' and how people share news and links with each other. She gives as a good example the picture slideshow of the last evening at the Irish News of the World which was picked up by the UK Guardian newspaper. The democratic nature of the news is one of the topics that is discussed in detail, and how they work with the emergence of citizen journalism. Also interviewed is Adrian Weckler from the Sunday Business Post. As well as being a journalist in the print format, Adrian straddles media as he is a regular blogger and user of social media. In the interview Adrian discusses the ingrained caution that has existed among publishers and how some are now moving to exploit the opportunities. Leveraging the strengths of the journalist base for newspapers is seen as a critical challenge for print publishers. Weckler identifies the Financial Times and WSJ as companies that have been very successful in this regard, via their paywall model.
