//The Wire//2300Z May 26, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FRIDAY'S BLACKOUT IN FRANCE REVEALED TO BE INTENTIONAL ACT OF SABOTAGE. GANG WAR RESULTS IN MASS STABBING AT AUSTRALIAN SHOPPING CENTER. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK REPORTED IN LIVERPOOL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-France: The electrical blackout that took place near Cannes on Friday has been designated as an act of deliberate sabotage. Transmission lines were cut and an electrical substation was set on fire by activists targeting the Cannes Film Festival.Australia: A gang dispute resulted in a mass stabbing at Northland Shopping Centre in Melbourne. Local authorities state that two rival gangs planned to meet up at the location to engage in mutual combat, and that the violence was not an instance of random targeting. Nevertheless, many people were wounded in the skirmish, and it remains unclear as to if any genuine bystanders were wounded in the attack.United Kingdom: This afternoon a vehicle ramming attack was reported in Liverpool as an unidentified man drove his vehicle into a crowd of people on Water Street as they celebrated a sports victory around the city. Concerning the casualties, 47x people have been reported wounded so far, with 27x being hospitalized.AC: As expected, authorities have not released many details pertaining to this incident. Authorities have stated that one individual, a 53-year-old male, was arrested at the scene. However, authorities notably did *not* state whether or not this individual was the driver of the vehicle. For context of why this distinction matters, immediately after the vehicle came to a stop, bedlam immediately broke out, with football fans attempting to cause violence to the driver (as one might expect). Consequently, police moved in to detain the driver, which in turn resulted in dozens of individuals physically assaulting the police officers attempting to protect the driver. Due to the carefully-worded statements by officials, some have speculated that the man who was arrested was actually one of the football fans engaging in this behavior, and not the driver. In any case, many people were detained at the scene of the incident, though it's unclear as to if any were arrested.Regarding the motive for the attack, it's not entirely clear. This was not a planned street event, so even though there was a police presence, there was no traffic control and there were no barricades in place. However, video footage of the incident strongly indicates that the driver did aim his vehicle toward (and accelerated into) the densely-packed crowd.What the truth actually is, only time will tell. There were no explosives or stabbings reported in conjunction with this incident, so it could equally have been a situation of deliberate opportunistic terrorism, a case of road-rage, or some other mental-health crisis.Europe: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine intensified over the weekend, with both sides engaging in heavy fighting. Russia, having completely erased the effects of Ukraine's Kursk Offensive, has now begun their counteroffensive mostly in the form of missile and drone strikes. Earlier last week, Ukraine stepped-up drone attacks on soft-targets, conducting very large scale drone attacks deep inside Russia.AC: Due to the challenges of determining who-started-what with this war, the timeline of what has occurred on the eastern front is hard to verify. What is certain is that Ukraine did conduct another large-scale drone offensive targeting Moscow, which resulted in President Putin's helicopter being caught in the fray during the attack. This does not mean that this was explicitly a direct assassination attempt as is being claimed by various Russian sources, but it does mean that the same effect was almost achieved. Either way the stakes keep going up, and the potential for peace continues to dwindle.-HomeFro

In today's newscast, peaceful protests in Monterey and Santa Cruz showed support for democracy and objections to many actions taken by the Trump administration. The Santa Cruz County Courthouse on Water Street and the Window on the Bay side of Del Monte Avenue in Monterey were the gathering points for rallies that were largely organized through social media and were loosely affiliated with the national 50501 Movement. That's a reference to 50 protests, 50 states, 1 day, an online effort that organized protests in state capitals earlier in February. Monday's Not My President protests were held on the Presidents Day national holiday.

Robert Kidney of The Numbers Band 15-60-75 : Part 2 on Zig At The Gig. Robert Kidney founding member, singer songwriter, composer, and guitarist for the Number band. The Numbers Band (a.k.a. 15-60-75) are an American blues rock[1] and experimental rock band formed in Kent, Ohio, United States in 1969. They are part of the 'Akron Sound' that sprang forth from their home state. The original personnel were Robert Kidney (guitar, lead vocals), the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde's brother Terry Hynde (saxophone), Hank Smith (guitar, keyboards), Greg Colbert (bass) and Tim Hudson (drums). Chris Butler, from Tin Huey and The Waitresses, also played in the band for a stint as a bassist. They premiered as a live act at the local nightspot The Kove in July 1970. Later, they incorporated jazzy influences as well and they have stuck with their sound ever since. By 1972, Gerald Casale, future co-founder of Devo (bass), and David Robinson were added to the lineup. Casale was thrown out after wearing a monkey mask onstage. Due to interior pressures, Kidney terminated the project by year's end and joined his brother Jack's band, King of Hearts. However, King of Hearts reformed as a new Numbers Band a few weeks later with a retooled lineup that consisted of the Kidney brothers, Hynde, Drake Gleason (bass) and Jay Brown (drums). After two years of playing gigs, Brown left the band and Robinson came back. Michael Stacey (guitar), was added prior to the cutting of their 1976 live album Jimmy Bell's Still in Town. The following year, Gleason was replaced by Bart Johnson (bass). The Numbers Band, like most of the other Ohioans, never became renowned nationally and were not signed by the major labels.

Export sales have been strong this week for both corn and soybeans, providing some support to the market. All eyes are on the upcoming Chinese stimulus meeting in early November, which could influence demand and pricing. However, uncertainty remains regarding South American crop outcomes, as well as the impact of dry conditions in the U.S.—though it may still be too early to raise alarms on that front. Politics continue to weigh on the ag sector, while depressed soybean prices add additional pressure. Meanwhile, balance sheets for corn and beans are increasing, adding further complexity to market dynamics.
Jack Crowley, President of the Water Street Rescue Mission in Lancaster. Just a few weeks ago, Crowley marked World Homeless Day by spending 24 hours outside on a bench in support of those who are currently unhoused. “The idea is not to imitate or pretend that we're experiencing what our friends who are unhoused actually are going through, “said Crowley. The demonstration created an opportunity for different organizations to come together and brainstorm how they could better serve the homeless population. Crowley livestreamed his entire experience. “We had conversations the whole 24 hours. I got like a four-hour window in the middle of the night where it was quiet. I didn't really sleep because it was cold out and I was on an uncomfortable bench. But we had tons of conversations with leaders from across the community, “said Crowley. Crowley gained some new perspective when he camped out all night. He says the experience was way more than just sleeping in the cold. During his demonstration, a former visitor at the mission visited him. Through conversation, Crowley learned a new meaning to empathy. “One of the guests who visited me on the bench is a gentleman named David who is homeless. He's staying with us right now at Water Street. And he's doing well. But he actually went through a cycle where he had been with us for three months and then he left and he was back on the street. And one of the things he combated, we were joking about my experience. So is this the morning after I'd been on the bench for 18 hours and I was sore, and I was tired, and he was he was teasing me about that. And I said, David, I know this doesn't compare to what you experienced during those two months. And he's like, Yeah, you're right. And he said, the biggest thing for him was that within 24 hours of leaving Water Street and being back on the street, sleeping on the sidewalks, he said, I knew that I was either invisible or inhuman to every person I encountered that people didn't even want to see me talk about walking down the sidewalk and people not like. Kind of ignoring him, not moving out of his way, even though he had a whole bunch of stuff he was carrying, just kind of pretending he wasn't even there. And then others who looked at him but looked at him with disgust and looked at him with condescension. And he's like, within 24 hours of leaving Water Street, I knew I was either invisible or inhuman. And the only thing that kind of carried him through those two months was he knew that he could come back to Water Street and that people would love him and that he had a church that he went to every Sunday, “said Crowley.

Today's episode was supposed to be a light-hearted conversation we recorded back in June with Dan Bavaro. He's the owner of Bavaro's Pizza, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. The restaurant has five Tampa Bay locations, along with a successful line of sauces. Back in June, Dalia caught up with Dan at Bavaro's downtown Tampa location during lunchtime. In that conversation, Dan shares lessons from his 15 years in the Italian food business.Then in September, Hurricane Helene slammed into Florida's Gulf Coast before continuing its path of destruction across the Southeast. Bavaro's Clearwater location got hit hard. So on Oct. 4, Dalia called Dan for an update on how he, his staff and the building were doing. They spoke over Zoom.If you'd like to support Bavaro's employees during this difficult time, you can buy a gift card. For every card purchased, 40 percent goes back to the restaurant's employee fund for team members displaced from Helene. You can also donate to the GoFundMe that's specifically set up to help the restaurant's Clearwater team members, who will be out of work for the foreseeable future.This episode takes place in two parts: the first recorded back in June and the other recorded on Oct. 4, 2024. Note: The episode was produced on Oct. 7, 2024, as Florida residents were still recovering from Hurricane Helene while also preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Milton.Related episodes: Bavaro's Brings Italy To Tampa Bay For Chef Inder Suryawanshi, Life's a Beach Olivia Giesler of The Pearl at Water Street on Hospitality, the Michelin Guide and Being a Female Chef

With the FEDS rating drop adding pressure to the markets, harvest is underway, though dry conditions are raising concerns about crop quality. This year's yield potential remains difficult to pin down, with variability across regions making it hard to get a clear picture. The upcoming Quarterly Grain Stocks and Small Grains Summary Report on September 30th will be closely watched for further insights. In Argentina, BAGE reported that farmers in the north and west are abandoning wheat fields due to drought and insect pressure, while 80% of wheat in the east is rated good/excellent. Basis levels are fluctuating as markets adjust to harvest progress and supply concerns. In livestock, cattle movement is showing some strength in the charts, while hog producers are considering holding off on selling as they assess market trends and weigh their options.

The crop tour is currently underway, providing valuable insights into the condition of this year's crops. Grains have seen a nice bounce, which is encouraging, but the drier weather could still have a significant impact on yields. As market conditions shift, many are wondering if this might present a selling opportunity. Meanwhile, attention is also focused on the upcoming FED talk in Jackson Hole, WY, which could influence market dynamics. Additionally, tensions with the Canadian National Railway are being monitored closely, as they could disrupt transportation and supply chains.
The current situation is not a meltdown in the system but rather a correction in the equities, so there's no need to panic yet. The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) charts are broken down by Darren.

June is PRIDE month and we're celebrating by bringing you an episode about efforts to bring LGBTQ+ history to light. As one guest, historian William Mann writes, “Throughout its history, Connecticut's LGBTQ population has moved from leading hidden, solitary lives to claiming visible, powerful, valuable, and contributing places in society.” In this episode, we talk about what historians have found in Connecticut's Colonial records, some surprising connections to famous individuals and landmarks and at the end of the episode, there's a recommendation for three places to visit to celebrate LGBTQ+ history. In order to prepare for this episode, two digital resources created by our guests were used. Both of these are available on the web and the links are below. The first is the Historic Timeline of Connecticut's LGBTQ Community online exhibition directed by William Mann for the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.

Be sure and join us with our special guest, FDNY Veteran Captain Russell Vomero of Rescue Company 5. Appointed to the FDNY in August 1979, assigned to Engine 10 on Water Street.Engine 10 and Ladder 15 were housed together. Spent my first year on Water Street before moving to Liberty Street across from WTC. In August 1981, I was transferred to Ladder 149 (Castle on the Hill) in Dyker Heights. It was one of the last companies I put on my transfer, and I knew nothing about it. Two of the officers in Engine 10 had been fireman there and said it was a great house. The job of being a firefighter started there. Did not do a lot of work but had a great lieutenant in Steve King. I cut my first roof in Ladder 149, made my first grab, and had my first Rescue sucks encounter. In 1984, it was announced that a new Rescue would be put into service on Staten Island. Rescue 5 had been in service previously on Staten Island but was disbanded. I saw this as an opportunity and put in my transfer. I got to Rescue 5 in August 1984, and was now amongst some great guys who still wanted to work. Steve Casani and Jack Pritchard were the officers I worked with most, and I learned so much. I was studying, and in May 1986, I took the lieutenants test and did terribly in relation to everyone else. A short time after the test, it was reported that there had been cheating. Sometime in the fall, a 2nd test was announced. In October 1987, I was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to the 7th battalion in the 3rd division. The first vacation spot I covered was Ladder 21. Rescue 1's quarters were being rebuilt, so they were being housed with Engine 34 and Ladder 21. It is where I started to meet some of the guys from 1. My first fire was in Ladder 21, and Captain Kennedy kicked me out of the elevator in Ladder 4. Vinny Dunn became my savior. In May 1988, I covered my first spot as a rescue officer in R-3, which was almost the beginning and end of my career as a rescue officer. I stayed covering in Rescue Services then SOC for the next six years. There was a lot of chatter on who would be the officers transferred into SOC.had the opportunity to work in every area of NYC. Then, after Tommy Williams died in 1992,I was given R4 UFO. Going to SOC Captain when a lieutenant spot opened did not go well. I had no plan to study for Captain; however, six months before the Captains test I was told I would be doing a UFO spot in Marine 1. It was our penance-like Rescue school. It was a learning and studying experience working in Marine 1. The next few years, before being promoted to Captain, were great, and something happened in the last six months of covering that changed everything for me. I got promoted to Captain on the same department order Ray Downey was promoted to chief. I wanted to go back into SOC, so I went to see the two chiefs in charge of SOC within the first few weeks of getting promoted. I was assigned to Division 5 as a Captain. I could not ask for a better place. By now, Squad 41 was back in SOC, so there were 11 companies, including the marine units to cover. In May or June 97, Spillane got promoted out of Squad 41, and Banker was placed in the spot UFO. I was covering a vacation when the spot opened, so I continued to cover. In September 1997, I was assigned to Squad 41. The rest of my career went on from there. Retired Jan. 2003 We can't wait to hear the Captains stories as he has a lot to talk about!
