School principals say they're grappling with growing numbers of new entrants with behaviour and oral communication issues - and believe the Covid-19 pandemic is to blame. They're calling for more investment in learning support to help address the problem. Kerre Woodham believes the problem lies not with the education system, but rather with parents who fail to prepare their kids to enter it. "How about principals, instead of moaning and grumbling and demanding more of the taxpayers' money to shore up the gaps and poor parenting, actually call the bloody parents to account."

In this spirit of taking the good news where we find it, I was absolutely delighted to see the results of Inland Revenue going after student loan defaulters. At the end of April, there were 113,733 people with student loans believed to be based overseas. If you're based overseas, you don't get the student loan automatically taken out of your pay packet. Overseas, it's up to you to make repayments, and more than 70% of those are in default on their loans – so it's up to them to make the repayments. Despite the extraordinarily expensive tertiary education they receive, they don't seem to understand what a loan is. They owe $2.3 billion, of which more than $1 billion is penalties and interest. Even if you wiped the penalties that is still $1 billion, owing to the taxpayer. We paid for the lion's share of the education, around 70% of the true cost of the education, they took out a loan which was paid for by the taxpayer, and $1 billion is owing to us. For about 24,000 of these overseas based borrowers, the debt is more than 15 years old. Inland Revenue has collected more than $207 million in repayments since July last year from student loan borrowers living overseas, and that's 43% up on the same period the previous year. And the reason for the sudden flurry of productivity and getting the money back? Inland Revenue was given the money, student loan compliance funding, to go after the little thieves, so they finally had the resource to be able to do it. According to Inland Revenue, they've contacted more than 12,000 borrowers – 1,320 of them have entered repayment plans, 960 have fully repaid their overdue amounts. Inland Revenue has seen a collective repayment of $9 million once they took an interest. Thank God. The department is also looking at borrowers who own property in New Zealand – there are just over 300 of them. And ever since “hello, it's Inland Revenue on the phone. We understand you owe us money. We also understand you have property in New Zealand”, shockingly, these people are suddenly able to find the money to repay the New Zealand taxpayer. So they've paid up $1.7 million. Any defaulters within the group who have refused to engage and resolve their defaults, says Inland Revenue, will see further legal enforcement taken, which may include New Zealand based bankruptcy or charging orders over their properties. They're doing the same for student loan defaulters who have investments or bank accounts receiving interest income in this country. Just watch these people suddenly come up with the money they owe once they realise Inland Revenue will be able to go sniffing around in their accounts. And as a last resort there'll be arrests at the border. This is so overdue. In the past there seems to have been a reluctance to go after overseas based student loan defaulters. What about when they all flocked back to New Zealand during the Covid times? That was the perfect time to collect the money owed. It is a kindness to the borrowers to keep that student loan debt at the front of their minds. If you can forget about a big debt, if there are other people screaming at you for money who are up in your grills, you'll park it and put it to one side and think I'll do that when I get a bonus at work, or I'll do that one day, and then it gets so big that it becomes terrifying and you just don't think about it. You will remain in blissful and wilful ignorance of the monies owed, and then the penalties and interest that blow out that original loan. Keep it at the forefront of their minds. There are all sorts of arguments that have been put up by student loan thieves over the years. We're the best and the brightest. If you come after us, we won't come home. We'll keep our enormous intellects overseas. Well, you can't be that bloody bright if you don't understand what a loan is, can you? It's not a gift. It was a loan. You have to pay it back. Another argument is, “it's all right for you, your generation got free university education we had to pay for it”. Well, it was really the generation before that received free education. But back then, they really did only take the best and the brightest, numpties need not apply. Total enrolments at all universities in New Zealand was 16,524 in 1960. Today there are 177,000 university students in New Zealand. I'm quite happy to have a discussion about making unit centres of academic excellence and restricting access once again to only the very best and the brightest and pay for that education, absolutely. If we reduce it down from 177,000 to 16,000, we can afford that. Happy to have a chat about means testing but not until you do what most of us manage to do, even the most lowly qualified of us ... pay your bills and pay what you owe.

Federico y Amorós analizan la Feria de Sevilla destacando a Morante de la Puebla y la previa de la novillada de Alcurruén en San Isidro 2025. "No salimos no salimos de Sevilla y ya entramos en San Isidro", ha apuntado Federico Jiménez Losantos en el comienzo de Al Alimón, la sección taurina de Es la Mañana que hace junto a Andrés Amorós durante las ferias de Sevilla y San Isidro. En la edición de este martes han hecho un resumen de los festejos celebrados estas últimas semanas en la Real Maestranza de Caballería y la previa de la novillada de Alcurrucén en la Monumental de Las Ventas. Una de las cosas que ha destacado Amorós es que en los tendidos de Sevilla ha habido "una cantidad de gente como yo creo que no he visto nunca. Estaban muchísimos días con el cartel de No Hay Billetes y los otros días casi todo lleno". El cronista ha dicho que "la gente tiene ganas de ir a los toros" y que eso es un "éxito enorme" del ministro de Cultura, Ernest Urtasun, por su persecución personal contra la tauromaquia. Amorós ha destacado que es "gracias a él". En cuanto a lo sucedido en el ruedo maestrante, Andrés Amorós ha destacado las actuaciones de Morante de la Puebla, pero antes ha hablado del estado de las ganaderías. Ha dicho que "los toros están regular" y que "el tercio de varas es puramente simbólico" y que eso "indica la decadencia del toro bravo". Sin embargo, ha dicho que hubo "dos corridas muy buenas, la de Alcurrucén y la de Santiago Domecq", también "una de Juan Pedro Domecq muy buena dentro de su línea" y "luego toros sueltos que salen en todas las ganaderías buenas aunque salga la mayoría de la corrida regular". Cree que algunos ganaderos "buscando un toro noble, colaborador y que se deja (expresiones terribles)" esto "acaba en la falta de casta, en la falta de fuerza y en la falta de emoción". Ha advertido que "en Madrid hay un poquito más de exigencia que en Sevilla". Sobre los toreros ha dicho que "sólo uno ha abierto la Puerta del Príncipe: David de Miranda". Un matador de toros que "tiene muchísimo mérito". Ha indicado también los que han cortado "dos orejas" y que son: Morante, Roca Rey, Borja Jiménez, Manuel Escribano y Pepe Moral". Andrés Amorós ha indicado que tiene "mérito especial lo de Pepe Moral con los Miura y lo de Escribano con los victorinos"."La feria de Morante" Andrés Amoros ha explicado que "sin duda esta ha sido la feria de Morante y se recordará absolutamente". Ha contado que "sorprendió" rescatando suertes antiguas y "lo que ha demostrado es una entrega y una regularidad como hace tiempo que no tenía". Federico ha recordado cómo el torero de La Puebla del Río "en el año del Covid asumió la responsabilidad". "Ahora, después de la enfermedad, otra vez ha dicho, voy a estar ahí. ¿Cuánto le durará? No lo sabemos. ¿En qué estilo torea? Yo lo resumo muy rápido: no es Joselito el Gallo, es Rafael el Gallo. Hace pinturerías y cosas que la gente no conoce y se va del toro con una gracia… Ahora bien, el centro de la faena: verónicas y naturales. Verónicas magníficas y naturales muy cerca y jugándose el tipo. Tiene valor", ha indicado el cronista. Amorós ha dicho que el papel de Morante "ha sido magnífico" y que "ha ayudado a una cosa bonita que es que en Sevilla se hablaba de toros porque ha sido el acontecimiento y todo el mundo comentaba lo de Morante". Además de las actuaciones del genio de La Puebla, el cronista ha destacado las actuaciones de Daniel Luque y Miguel Ángel Perera porque son toreros "poderosos". "El problema es que la espada está impidiendo" que triunfen y, según Jiménez Losantos "ambos se venden muy mal". Son "dos toreros muy serios y que están muy bien", ha añadido Amorós. Otro matador de toros que ha destacado es a "Manuel Escribano" que "está estupendamente para las corridas duras". Andrés Amorós ha criticado "el comportamiento del público". "Yo lo siento muchísimo. Amo y respeto a Sevilla, me encanta ir allí, pero la decadencia del público es evidente, como de la España actual", ha indicado. El cronista ha cargado con "el paso de cubatas de Gin Tonic continuo" que "es terrible" y que produce "un desbarajuste y una falta de exigencia muy grande". Ha reiterado que siente "mucho, sobre todo, una cosa que es que Sevilla tenía una sabiduría, un sentido de la medida y una prudencia" ya ya no tiene y que es "lo que ha sido Sevilla y lo que debía seguir siendo de alguna medida".De Sevilla a Madrid Aunque la Feria de San Isidro 2025 lleva ya tres tardes y una Puerta Grande descafeinada de Talavante hoy se celebra la primera novillada del ciclo. La terna se se presenta en Las Ventas en este encierro de Alcurrucén. Amorós ha dicho que hoy se incorpora a San Isidro y que en Madrid sí que hay un "sector que cumple su papel" y que "aunque a veces se equivoca, pero claro, los exigentes pues también ayudan". De la novillada de Alcurrucén ha comentado que es una ganadería "interesante" que "ha tenido éxito en Sevilla". Ha contado que "es de encaste Núñez" lo que "quiere decir que suelen salir abantos o distraídos muchas veces" y que "depende también a veces del que lidia" para que "al final saque un fondo de nobleza muy grande". Es "es un cartel interesante: Sergio Sánchez, Aarón Palacio y Javier Zulueta". De la terna ha dicho que a Sergio Sánchez no lo ha visto y que por eso no opina sobre él. De Zulueta ha explicado que es "el príncipe heredero de Sevilla" y que allí "lo quieren muchísimo porque es de la familia de los alguacilillos de la plaza". "Es un jovencito rubio, muy guapo, muy fino y torea con mucho gusto, muy delicado. Va a tomar la alternativa ya. Vamos a ver si es capaz de dominar a los toros, además de conseguir la estética", ha apuntado. El tercero de los que se presentan esta tarde en Las Ventas es Aarón Palacio un novillero aragonés que "nos deslumbró y nos ganó a todos porque torea de verdad, pero dentro del clasicismo, sin hacer tonterías". "Yo le he visto ganarse al público en plaza exigentes" y "la exigencia, sin llegar al exceso, es necesaria. Y si no exiges, pues todo se cae, naturalmente", ha finalizado Amorós.

An open access Asia Shorts edited volume from AAS. The spring of 2020 will remain etched in collective memory as a moment of profound upheaval. The COVID-19 pandemic forced schools and universities around the world to close their doors, reshaping education overnight. Teachers scrambled to reimagine their classrooms in online spaces, while students adjusted to a new, distanced reality. For educators of Asia-related topics, these shifts carried unique challenges. Already marginalized within English-speaking curricula, Asia's place in classrooms faced further reductions amidst the chaos of pandemic adaptation. Recognizing this, our Asia Shorts volume, Teaching about Asia in a Time of Pandemic (AAS, 2025), was conceived as a timely response, offering guidance and inspiration during those uncertain times. Almost five years later, the world has moved forward, but the ripple effects of that historic spring are still felt. This supplemental set of open-access essays, edited by Kin Cheung (Associate Professor of East and South Asian Religions at Moravian University) builds upon the foundation of the original volume, reflecting on the enduring impacts of the pandemic on education, equity, and how we teach about Asia. One lasting consequence of the pandemic has been the rise in anti-Asian racism. Harassment and violence against Asians, fueled by pandemic-related scapegoating and xenophobic rhetoric, surged globally. In the United States, inflammatory phrases such as “China virus” and “kung flu” further stigmatized Asian communities, exacerbating a wave of hostility. Educators now face the challenge of addressing these injustices while fostering inclusive, empathetic learning environments. The essays in this collection delve into the pedagogical responses to anti-Asian racism, advocating for teaching frameworks that prioritize social justice and counteract harmful stereotypes and complement the important work of the scholars whose work appears in our recent Asia Shorts volume, Global Anti-Asian Racism, edited by Jennifer Ho. Another critical dimension explored in this volume is the necessity of representation. Asian Americans remain underrepresented in both the teaching workforce and teacher education programs, leading to a curriculum that often overlooks the rich cultural and linguistic assets of Asian students and their families. This gap underscores the importance of preparing teachers to adopt culturally responsive practices, ensuring that all students—especially Asian American learners—feel seen and valued in the classroom. These essays also challenge educators to move beyond surface-level engagement with Asia. A case in point is the life and legacy of Grace Lee Boggs, an Asian American activist whose story offers rich insights into the intersections of race, gender, and political activism. By teaching figures like Boggs through an antiracist, transnational lens, students can develop a deeper, more empathetic understanding of complex historical narratives. This approach not only enriches their knowledge of Asia and its diasporas but also equips them with critical tools to navigate and challenge systemic inequities in their own societies.

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Ravi Dutta Misra about the newly signed Free Trade Agreement between India and the United Kingdom and its potential impact on tariffs, jobs, and investment, and why its timing is significant. Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Amitabh Sinha about the new government data that indicates India's actual Covid-19 death toll may have been higher than officially reported. (11:04)And in the end, we discuss Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address following Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack.

Today, and for the past several years, many people both here and abroad have been trying to make sense of the radical right and its financial and ideological grip on the Republican party. Why is it that so many Americans have turned against democracy? What explains the authoritarian reaction of so many American citizens, even when that reaction works so directly against their basic interests? How is it that this anti-democratic trend has escaped the explanatory frameworks of pundits and scholars alike? Perhaps we need to re-frame the narrative about the MAGA movement and the various constituencies that have somehow conspired to undermine democratic values and replace them with radical libertarian principles joined by theocratic, White nationalist, and anti-intellectual ideals. Addressing these concerns, Katherine Stewart has written Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy (Bloomsbury Press, 2025). Casting a light on the religious right's “Funders, Thinkers, Sergeants, Infantry, and Power Players,” Stewart recounts her effort “to record what I have seen and heard from the leaders and supporters of the antidemocratic movement in the auditoriums and breakout rooms at national conferences, around the table at informal gatherings of activists, in the living rooms of the rank and file, and in the pews of hard-line churches. The story features a rowdy mix of personalities: ‘apostles' of Jesus, atheist billionaires, reactionary Catholic theologians, pseudo-Platonic intellectuals, woman-hating opponents of ‘the gynocracy,' high-powered evangelical networkers, Jewish devotees of Ayn Rand, pronatalists preoccupied with a dearth of (White) babies, COVID truthers, and battalions of ‘spirit warriors' who appear to be inventing a new style of religion even as they set about undermining democracy at its foundations.” Over and against the idea that religion is a relatively insignificant factor in the rise of the radical political right, Stewart makes plain how Christian nationalism is “front and center” in the effort to solidify the power of the MAGA movement and Donald Trump's presidency. Richard B. Miller is the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Emeritus Professor of Religion, Politics and Ethics at the University of Chicago. He previously taught in the Department of Religious Studies at Indiana University where he also served as Director of the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions.

Why has it taken us so long to get serious about forcing people to pay back their student loans? Last month, IRD had someone arrested at the border. They have now paid back their loan. Isn't that amazing? They had been chased and chased and chased and chased - and you know that they had, because the IRD only arrest you at the border as an absolute last resort, but suddenly they were arrested at the border and despite presumably years of not paying back their loan - they pay it back. Isn't it incredible what a little bit of pressure can do? We've got more on this, by the way. The IRD has got in contact with more than 12,000 people who are living overseas who owe money on their student loans. 960 of them have paid back everything that was overdue, 1300 of them have started repayment plans, and 89 people have been warned they will also be arrested at the border if they don't start paying up. 11 of them, as a result of that warning, have started dealing with their debt - either by paying it back or by applying for hardship provisions. Now, why I'm telling you this is because it's nearly a year since the Government threw extra money at the IRD to chase down these bludgers. And the IRD has put out a press release with the latest figures to show that actually, yeah, putting that extra money in for the enforcement is bearing fruit. The only question we now have is - why didn't we do this earlier? I mean, it is not like this is a new problem, is it? We have complained about this for years, about these people freeloading on the ever-generous New Zealand taxpayer and then getting a free education over here, going off overseas to live their best lives, paying taxes somewhere else, helping out some other country, and then leaving us holding the baby in their debt. Now, I suspect our lack of action in the past - but I probably can't answer the question on this - comes down to a general attitude towards taxpayers, which is a lack of respect for our money. It's been treated like it's never-ending for too long. We've simply handed out to all without actually really requiring them to pay it back. We say you've got to pay it back, but we don't actually mean it. And this is not a historic problem - it's a current problem. A recent case in point is the small business COVID loans that were handed out by Grant Robertson in 2020. Unsecured, right? They are now due to be repaid. At least $800 million is outstanding and a lot of that will never be repaid. We have to get used to that idea. We handed it out and we're not gonna get it back. It is probably too much to wish for - but wouldn't it be great if we could carry on getting money back like the IRD are with student loans at the moment?

Opinie: BOR pariază pe Simion? (DW) - Interviuri EXCLUSIVE cu doi foști ambasadori americani / Adrian Zuckerman (republican): Să-i fie rușine domnului Simion! / Mark Gitenstein (democrat): Dacă Nicușor Dan nu ar fi ales, actuala abordare pro-NATO și pro-UE nu va continua! (G4Media) - Cât de extremist este extremistul Simion? (Libertatea) Reset în grotă: Simion se retrage în bula controlată, iar Georgescu agită blugii și bananele (SpotMedia)După turul întâi al alegerilor prezidențiale, George Simion a surprins printr-o prezență sporită în spațiul public, acceptând interviuri și expunându-se mai mult decât o făcuse anterior. Acum pare însă că a apăsat din nou butonul familiar: control total al mesajului și evitarea oricărui risc de erodare în presă.„Simion a revenit la strategia inițială de a nu ieși public în interviuri și dezbateri unde s-ar putea eroda, o strategie pe care – spre surpriza multora – și-a schimbat-o după turul 1. Devenise brusc foarte prezent”, remarcă sociologul și consultantul politic Cristian Andrei, într-o analiză scurtă publicată pe Facebook.Schimbare nu este întâmplătoare. Este un reset, o recalibrare după o săptămână de ezitări și încercări, care nu i-au adus clar beneficii.Așa se explică și recenta postare video, în care se filmează în timp ce îi admonestează pe reprezentanții postului Digi24 veniți pentru o negociere.Departe de un gest spontan, discursul este clar regizat, cu o regie simplă dar eficientă, și servește perfect narațiunii „noi vs. ei”, „anumite televiziuni sunt împotriva poporului”.În acest context, Călin Georgescu a publicat, luni seară, un mesaj video de 8 minute pe Facebook, fără a face vreo referire la George Simion, în care vorbește despre falsa democraţie, suferință și credință.E un mesaj tipic pentru el, care nu numeşte partide sau politicieni, însă e plin de trimiteri la pământ, rădăcini şi sărăcie. În acest peisaj, Nicușor Dan rămâne, paradoxal, într-o poziție mai vulnerabilă. Fără un adversar direct care să accepte confruntarea în spații neutre, el este forțat să alerge singur după voturi și să genereze singur emoție, într-o campanie unde celălalt joacă exclusiv pe teren propriu, cu regulile proprii.Integral pe SpotMedia.ro.Opinie: BOR pariază pe Simion? (DW)Biserica Ortodoxă Română (BOR) declară că se delimitează „de orice act de politică partinică” prin „evitarea implicării” în „susținerea publică a vreunuia dintre candidați”. Neutralitatea în fața unui candidat care cochetează cu Rusia, care vrea să scoată la suprafață naționalismul gregar și să schimbe azimutul țării, e mai degrabă o formulă de asociere, scrie jurnalista Sabina Fati.Oricum, Arhiepiscopul Tomisului a fost duminică la sfinţirea sediului AUR Constanţa și a spus că a mai ținut slujbe și la alte sedii ale acestui partid, fiindcă în astfel de cazuri n-ar fi vorba de „culori politice”, ci de iubire „de Biserică, de neam și de țară”. Pe scurt, Tomitanul, care în pandemie instiga împotriva vaccinării la fel ca liderul AUR, George Simion, acum le spune credincioșilor că acest partid se află pe lista preferințelor sale pentru că ar fi cu Biserica și cu țara. Dar el nu e singur, iar Patriarhia știe că încă de anul trecut prin mănăstiri și biserici, Călin Georgescu era preferatul clericilor. Iar acum, în locul lui, e George Simion. Pericolul căderii în trecut este tot mai evident în interiorul Bisericii Ortodoxe Române, unde curentul european nu reușește să învingă tradiționalismul bolnăvicios cu rădăcini în perioada pactizării BOR cu legionarismul și mai apoi cu regimul ceaușist.BOR își caută susținere politică pentru dezideratele sale tradiționale în lupta cu progresismul, de aceea la alegeri a pariat mereu pe partidul capabil să-i asigure susținerea financiară necesară și să militeze pentru valori similare.Mai mult, pe pagina DW.Interviuri EXCLUSIVE cu doi foști ambasadori americani / Adrian Zuckerman (republican): Să-i fie rușine domnului Simion! / Mark Gitenstein (democrat): Dacă Nicușor Dan nu ar fi ales, actuala abordare pro-NATO și pro-UE nu va continua! (G4Media)Doi foști ambasadori SUA la București,  Adrian Zuckerman (republican) și Mark Gitenstein (democrat), vorbesc despre pericolul alegerii unui candidat extremist în funcția de președinte al Româniiei și îl susțin deschis pe Nicușor Dan. Zuckerman afirmă că Simion este pro-rus și reprezintă o amenințare pentru democrație, în timp ce Gitenstein crede că dacă Nicușor Dan nu ar fi ales, actuala abordare pro-NATO și pro-UE nu va continua.Fostul ambasador trimis în primul mandat al președintelui Trump, Adrian Zuckerman, susține că George Simon nu spune adevărul atunci când susține că adminstrația Trump a sancționat politic România cu excluderea din programul Visa Waiver din cauza anulării primului tur al alegerilor din noiembrie anul trecut. ”E o rușine fără seamăn. Așa că să-i fie rușine domnului Simion. Ce spune el nu este adevărat”, a declarat Zuckerman pentru G4Media.Fostul ambasador trimis de administrația Biden în România, Mark Gitestenin este de părere că ”alegerea este clară”: ”Aveți un candidat eurosceptic, anti-NATO, declarat persona non grata în Ucraina și Moldova, adept al teoriilor conspirației privind Covid-ul, ostil presei și fără experiență semnificativă în guvernare. Pe de altă parte, îl aveți pe actualul primar al Bucureștiului, aflat la al doilea mandat, care a scos orașul din faliment, a reformat transportul public cumpărând 350 de autobuze noi și a început să modernizeze sistemul de încălzire, o funcție esențială pentru cetățenii orașului. Aveți un manager competent, liber de acuzații de corupție, care știe să facă guvernul să lucreze pentru cetățeni”.Cât de extremist este extremistul Simion? (Libertatea)George Simion este liderul partidului de extremă dreapta AUR, însă el nu practică un extremism în forma clasică a termenului, așa cum apare definit în cărțile de politologie sau așa cum a experimentat România de-a lungul istoriei. Ideologia sa este, mai degrabă, un amalgam de idei suveraniste, naționaliste și populiste, combinate cu o doză uriașă de oportunism politic, a precizat pentru Libertatea prof. Bogdan Bucur, sociolog și istoric în cadrul SNSPA București. Istoricul Bogdan Bucur consideră că George Simion – așa cum singur se laudă – este artist în a arunca cu vorbe. Și doar atât. Să ne amintim doar de casele în valoare de 35.000 de euro pe care le promitea înainte de alegeri și despre care acum a spus că n-au fost decât o strategie de marketing. Evident, continuă specialistul, pe același principiu s-ar putea răzgândi și în alte privințe. Prin urmare, Simion se face frate cu dracul cât să treacă puntea. Însă asta nu înseamnă că ceea ce spune el nu trebuie luat în serios. Dimpotrivă!

Mensen zeiden: “Dat kan je niet.”Matthijs zei: “Dan doe ik het juist.”

Ahead of the Budget we got the same message we got from a barefoot, jandal wearing Chippy on day one of his post summer break. More debt. Borrow more and spend more. Name an issue, pick a portfolio, any portfolio, where Labour has not criticised the government for cuts and promised to restore spending to pre-Willis levels. The latest example is pay parity, but that is just the latest in a long and growing list of items on the wishlist. In case they didn't get the memo, Kiwis voted for cuts at the last election. If we're doing our bit, the government ought to do its bit. That's the politics of it. The economics have been up for debate. Net core crown debt has more than doubled on pre-Covid to $182 billion or 42.6% of GDP. Like our tourist arrivals, debt has unfortunately not returned to normal pre-Covid levels. Some of this is inflation but much of it is not. There's spending that went too far and got baked in. A couple of things to note. Yes, government debt is low compared to other OECD countries. But, the credit ratings agencies are telling us we must get back to surplus and start paying it down. If you risk a credit downgrade, then borrowing costs you more. We're already spending more financing debt than we do on defence, Police, Corrections, Justice, and Customs combined. And remember, we're the shakey isles with huge exposure to trade. We need headroom to borrow big if shit hits the fan. Ask any economist or the person who runs your household and they'll tell you borrowing for everyday spending is a bad idea. We've been doing that year, after year, after year, and Willis is actually still doing more of it. If that's enough to convince you on debt, here's the kicker. The real doozy. Private debt. We have student loans and business debt and houses. We love houses. Loads of mortgages, and the problem is how much we owe and who we owe it to. Household debt is 120% of GDP and higher than America, Spain, Germany, Ireland a bunch of other countries. What's worse, much of it is owed to foreign banks. We don't have enough savings to lend to ourselves. This makes us more vulnerable as a country, keeps Reserve Bankers awake at night, explains why Nicola Willis's nickers are always in a twist when it comes to getting the government's debt levels down. Willis could, and many argue, should go harder and faster as she's still spending more than Grant Robertson. But one thing you can be sure of, because it has come from Hipkins mouth repeatedly this week, is that spending and therefore borrowing would be higher right now had they be given a third term.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love bringing on young, up and coming artists on the show, and this week, we do just that with England's own, Luke Marzec.  Luke is a multitalented musician,  who plays saxophone, violin, piano, and more, who also possesses the voice of an old soul.  His music is both unique and familiar at the same time, and is sure to gain traction with new audiences.  Hear all about Luke's upbringing, his music influences, what it's like to live on a boat during Covid, and his love for something called "The Egg Game".   Check out Luke's Something Good Out of Nothing (Part A) today!   We also learn that Mike has reincarnated his dog into a refrigerator, we learn about the Australian Emu War of 1932, and dive in a new sporting event known as Sperm Racing.  A typical, ridiculous week of Verbal Shenanigans.  Have a listen!

In this episode, we speak with Kristen Gwinn-Becker, founder and CEO of History IT, a pioneer in creating digital archives for museums, libraries, and historical societies. We explore effective leadership in mission-driven companies, focusing on trust and clear vision as foundational elements. Kristen shares her journey in building History IT, sparked by her passion for history and the urgency of digital transformation, especially highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss how a strong company vision fosters team alignment and drives the mission of democratizing access to historical content. Kristen also highlights the role of technology, particularly AI, in enhancing efficiency while maintaining the need for human oversight. The conversation underscores the necessity of adaptability and continuous growth in leadership, reflecting Kristen's commitment to preserving history and inspiring her team as they navigate the digital landscape.

We discuss ways we isolate and how to slowly emerge to re-engage with the world around us.

JimratTake a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know the Boston Shoegaze band Jimrat. This group of musicians got together in the Boston area after meeting in college, and various music scenes. Jimrat consists of: Sam Dvorin, Josie Arthur, Emma DeLaRosa, Elicia Benavides, and Tim Ro. In this episode, I get them to tell the story of how each of them came to be in the band. Since they each came along in a fascinating way, they tell the story 'popcorn' style. All of them have recently graduated or are still in college. They basically went to different schools. We got musicians from Boston University, Suffolk, Berkley, and Emerson. Throughout the episode, each of them explains how they came to Boston, and why most of them equate the city to living in Albuquerque! From Covid, to the cartoon Tom & Jerry, these young guns talk about everything. Finally, we discuss their new album. It's called 'Instant' and is 'an audio-visual album'. Each of the 11 tracks on the record have a corresponding video component, that all culminate in a 35-minute-long sensory experience like no other. They even let me play one of their favorite tracks from the record! Check out their audio / visual experience on YouTube by searching "Jimrat Instant", or checking out their website: WhoIsJimrat.github.io

Omniprésente dans nos usages professionnels comme personnels, la visioconférence continue de transformer le paysage numérique. Un secteur ultraconcurrentiel qui pèse lourd et qui a même entraîné la disparition de Skype, pionnier du genre. Décryptage. Elle est aujourd'hui pratiquement omniprésente, aussi bien dans le monde professionnel que dans notre quotidien, la visioconférence.Vous vous souvenez sans doute de la fameuse sonnerie Skype, qui ne retentira plus. Si l'application née en 2003 était une vraie révolution, elle a depuis été reléguée au second plan, que ce soit pour un usage personnel ou professionnel. Son monopole a pris fin avec l'arrivée de FaceTime d'Apple, puis plus récemment avec Zoom, Google Meet ou encore Microsoft Teams. Ironie du sort : Microsoft possédait Skype, mais a préféré miser sur son autre outil, et a fini par l'abandonner. À écouter aussi8 milliards de voisins: Télétravail, fin de partie ?Un marché boosté par la pandémie et le télétravail hybride C'est pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, au printemps 2020, que le marché de la visioconférence a connu un véritable bond. Avant 2019, les logiciels Zoom et Teams étaient encore très peu utilisés par le grand public. Aujourd'hui, ces applications sont entrées dans le vocabulaire courant et le quotidien de centaines de millions de salariés.Le marché de la visioconférence est valorisé à 33 milliards de dollars. D'ici à 2033, ce chiffre pourrait doubler selon plusieurs projections. Chaque année, la croissance du secteur est estimée entre 7 % et 10 %, soutenue par l'essor du télétravail hybride, ce mélange entre présentiel et travail à domicile. Difficile, voire impossible pour les grandes entreprises de passer à côté de cette dynamique. À lire aussiTélétravail: un acquis de plus en plus remis en cause dans les entreprisesDes investissements massifs… mais aussi des limites Au-delà de l'apparente simplicité de la visioconférence, les entreprises investissent massivement, notamment en recherche et développement. L'intelligence artificielle est au cœur de ces efforts. Depuis 2023, Microsoft a investi plus de 2 milliards de dollars dans l'IA collaborative. Zoom, de son côté, rachète des start-ups spécialisées dans le traitement du langage, pour créer des assistants capables de résumer automatiquement les réunions. Certains vont encore plus loin et travaillent sur des solutions holographiques pour remplacer les écrans.La visioconférence devient ainsi un véritable outil de travail, un soutien à la productivité. Mais elle a aussi ses limites. Selon l'agence X2O Media, 9 entreprises sur 10 utilisent cet outil. Mais elle serait aussi responsable de 34 milliards de dollars de pertes par an, en raison de réunions mal gérées. Pour les salariés, cette pratique généralisée peut entraîner une certaine fatigue, voire une forme de dépendance, avec des conséquences négatives sur la productivité. Et ce n'est que le début : selon le cabinet Straits Research, d'ici à 2030 – autrement dit, demain – 60 % des interactions professionnelles pourraient être totalement dématérialisées. 

Time is running out for businesses who took out a Covid Small Business Cashflow Scheme. It's five years today since Inland Revenue introduced the loans. They were issued to more than 129,000 businesses and totalled $2.4 billion. The IRD says they're now reaching their cut-off point, and default loans not paid in full will be enforced. ABC Business Sales managing director unveils how many businesses are still owing - and by how much. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textCody Garrett (not to be confused with our good friend, Justin), is a CFP and a regular on the ChooseFI message boards and FB group. By know, most of us know about the Roth IRA, 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b)...but many of us (myself included) have been in the dark about a taxable brokerage account. Cody is here to talk about all the positives of having one of these amazing accounts.  Remember, after you retire, you won't be able to contribute to your workplace 403(b), 457(b) etc. Also, you need EARNED income (pension doesn't count) to still invest into an IRA. Personally, I opened up a taxable brokerage account when the market dipped in COVID and I like to call it my "opportunity fund". It has been a major blessing to our family! https://youtube.com/@measuretwiceplanners?si=QXits06nDhEEWMykhttps://measuretwicefinancial.com/meet-cody/

Send us a textThe Black Metal perspective makes a long overdue debut to the Nordic Sound in episode 49 with the inimitable Thomas Eriksen (Mork, Udåd). Not only has Thomas made quite the name for himself as the mind behind Mork, but kept himself and others entertained during COVID running his own Black Metal podcast, the "Thomas Eriksen Podcast" which featured some in depth conversations with big names in Norwegian Black Metal. Join us as Thomas takes us through what the style means to him, his recent work on Mork's seventh album "Syv", and my favorite, his haunting experimental project Udåd.Thomas's work has captivated me over the last few years as I've explored his impressive discography defined by "urkraft", and a warm, organic approach to black metal inspired by rock production styles from the 60s and 70s. "Udåd" sealed the deal for me with its bleak and skeletal approach to a primitive black metal sound, reminding one of the atmosphere of films like the Blair Witch Project. If you haven't yet, I do sincerely hope you check out Thomas's music.Patreon.com/nordicsound0:00 Intro1:47 Why Black Metal?19:09 The Thomas Eriksen Podcast32:57 Mork56:16 Udåd1:21:19 Midgardsblot1:25:18 Black Metal Today1:32:43 Closing ThoughtsSupport the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/nordicsoundThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons:GeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTony

I am so pumped for this conversation because I have SO admired his work and blunt truth telling for almost 5 years. There is so much to this guy that despite hours of preparation, I have NO IDEA where this talk will go today! But hey, that's what makes it FUN & exciting!David was one of this most impactful warriors to gain prominence during the COVID crisis era which he very correctly and succinctly labels as the culmination of a 100 year plan criminal cartels to to commit financial & murderous crimes against humanity. His biography is astounding and includes decades of work in a variety of fields. He is a husband, father, scientist, inventor, mathematician, financier, diplomat, organizer and advocate for truth just to name a few!!As written in his biography:“An author, public speaker, business visionary, professor, researcher, oracle, father, and friend, David is a man Fully Living. Dr. David Martin knows who he is. And he's here to show others how to remember what it means to put humanity into the human experience. Over the past 5 decades he's fully lived and has done so in service to humanity. Unlike many who build an identity around accomplishments, he uses his actions to show others the vast extremes of possibility.”Recently Dr. Martin has been warning us that the war against humanity (which started in earnest circa 2020) IS NOT OVER despite the election of Donald Trump and the installation of Robert Kennedy Jr. With an uncertain future ahead we must be vigilant and actively involved in creating our own solutions because the powers that be will not.Today we get the BIG picture and how to THRIVE amidst the chaos.Join the Rumble LIVE chat and follow my Rumble Page HERE so you never miss an episode: https://rumble.com/c/TheShannonJoyShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Frances Lee, a professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton University. We delved into the political landscape during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring how our democratic systems struggled to cope with the crisis. Dr. Lee shared insights from her book "In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us," co-authored with Stephen Macedo. We discussed the concept of moralized antagonism and how it hindered productive dialogue during the pandemic. Dr. Lee highlighted the importance of leaders acknowledging uncertainty and avoiding the temptation to pretend they have all the answers. We also touched on the failures of federalism in the US, where partisan divides prevented effective policy learning across states. The conversation explored the broader implications for democracy, including concerns about free speech and the suppression of dissent. Dr. Lee emphasized the need for citizens and leaders alike to resist moralized antagonism and engage with diverse perspectives. Overall, our discussion provided a thoughtful examination of the pandemic's impact on democratic processes and the challenges we face moving forward.

While we have come a long way in destigmatizing the conversation around pregnancy and mental health, now we need to start talking about solutions. Anney and Samantha dig into the fallout from Covid, and where we go from here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He discusses the impact of mental illness diagnoses on understanding psychology, the complexities of parenting in an irrational society, and critiques societal norms and the philosophical depth of religious texts. Molyneux examines the influence of social media on travel choices and shares insights on government responses to crises like COVID-19. The lecture concludes with reflections on personal relationships and the importance of addressing misconceptions for meaningful connections.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

(00:01) - Transitioning to Premed Years(09:57) - Navigating the Premed Journey(21:15) - Preparing for Medical School Interviews(32:38) - Strategies for Medical School Application Stress(36:50) - Navigating Medical School and BeyondEmily's journey into medicine started with a simple passion for sports and healthcare, originally driving her to major in exercise science in college. It was a fateful human anatomy class that ignited a new ambition—to become a physician. Without any familial guidance in the field, Emily relied on her own research, pre-health advising committees, and online resources to navigate her path. Her experience as a scribe gave her invaluable insights into the medical profession and solidified her calling, especially through mentorship from an inspiring OBGYN doctor. Listen as Emily opens up about her transition into premed, underscoring the vital role of perseverance and strategic planning in overcoming early academic hurdles.Navigating the premed journey is no easy feat, and Emily's experience underscores the significance of maintaining a supportive network. She speaks candidly about how non-medical jobs, like catering, equipped her with crucial time management skills. The discussion also covers the importance of consistent self-improvement and strategic MCAT preparation, focusing on the benefits of analyzing practice tests. Emily shares her highs and lows, painting a picture of how determination and adaptability are essential in reaching one's medical school goals.The road to medical school is fraught with stress, especially during the application and interview processes. Emily reflects on the challenges of interviewing during the COVID era, where anxiety often overshadowed preparation. As we explore strategies to manage application stress, Emily emphasizes maintaining a balanced life beyond the pressures of medical school applications. She shares her thoughts on keeping passions alive outside of medicine, which not only aids personal well-being but also enriches professional growth. This conversation is a reminder that while the pursuit of a medical career can be intense, it is equally important to nurture other facets of life.

Story at-a-glance Multiple doctors have linked the DPT vaccine to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), noting that SIDS peaks coincide with vaccination schedules at 2, 4, and 6 months Since at least 1933, the medical community has known that vaccines cause infant deaths. To conceal this, those deaths were renamed “crib death” and then “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS), eventually being attributed to infants not sleeping on their backs This revisionism is not supported by the existing evidence nor the historical changes in the frequency of SIDS. Most recently, SIDS rates have had an unprecedented decrease in tandem with the COVID-19 lockdowns reducing vaccination rates The vaccine most strongly associated with SIDS, DPT, was protected for decades by the government despite knowing a large body of evidence around the world showed it killed infants — particularly when an inevitable hot lot was released. Eventually, so many injury lawsuits were filed that in 1986, the government had to give blanket immunity to the vaccine manufacturers This article will review the body of evidence showing vaccines cause SIDS and reveal the mechanism modern research has now repeatedly proven causes vaccines to trigger infant death
