Matthew Pinnock is the COO of Altura.In this new episode of DeFi Frontier, we walk through Altura's multi-strategy vault and how it generates yield from three sources: a physical gold arbitrage trade, delta-neutral crypto strategies including market-making and funding rate arbitrage, and private credit yield through Fasanara's Midas mF-ONE. Matthew explains how every leg of this real world gold trade is insured. He also breaks down their Yield Run program and the related Pendle market for AVLT including the PT fixed yield and YT points leverage.------
Peter Huessy explains that Russia views low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons as usable battlefield tools to achieve victory or coerce opponents. He contrasts this with U.S. doctrine, which keeps such weapons under central command. Huessywarns of the lack of transparency regarding China's dual-use nuclear capabilities and Russia's "reckless" potential to use these weapons. (10)1933 PERSIA
Preview for Later Today: Peter Huessy details Russia's focus on low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons designed for "tailored effects" on the battlefield. These weapons are viewed by Moscow as practical military instruments rather than just tools of mass destruction.MAY 1930

With input costs remaining high and profit margins under pressure, producers are increasingly looking for ways to improve productivity without simply adding more fertilizer, more irrigation, or more crop inputs. In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Chad Godsey, Chief Agronomist at Green Evolution Technologies, to discuss how growers are evaluating new technologies, why efficiency has become the new benchmark for success, and how innovations at the soil and root level may help unlock future yield gains.Chad brings a unique perspective to the conversation, combining a PhD in Agronomy and Soil Science with a lifetime of farming experience on his family's multi-generational Colorado farm. He shares how his work as a consultant across more than 100,000 acres has shaped his views on technology adoption and why today's farmers are demanding proven, measurable results before investing in new products.The discussion explores how growers are increasingly conducting their own on-farm trials to validate new technologies and why return on investment has become the deciding factor in purchasing decisions. Chad explains that while farmers have been inundated with new products in recent years, many are now focused on technologies that can consistently improve water-use efficiency and nutrient-use efficiency rather than simply promise yield increases.A major focus of the episode is Green Evolution Technologies' InteliGel hydrogel platform. Chad explains how the technology works by absorbing and storing water and nutrients within the soil profile, making them available to crops during periods of stress. He discusses how the hydrogel can be applied using existing farm equipment, reducing barriers to adoption while fitting into current farming practices.The conversation also dives into field trial results from corn and soybean production systems. Chad shares data from third-party research that demonstrated significant yield improvements and profitability gains, particularly during periods of late-season drought stress. He also discusses the potential for multi-year benefits from a single application, an important factor when evaluating long-term return on investment.Listeners will hear Chad's perspective on the challenges facing ag technology companies, including the common mistake of bringing products to market before they have been fully validated across different environments and management systems. He offers practical advice for growers evaluating new products, emphasizing the importance of establishing clear benchmarks and measuring efficiency improvements over time.Whether you're interested in water management, nutrient efficiency, precision agriculture, or the future of crop production, this episode offers valuable insights into how innovative technologies are helping farmers do more with less while maintaining profitability.Learn more about Green Evolution Technologies and InteliGel by visiting https://greenevolutiontechnologies.com, or send Chad an email with your questions to chad@hydrogel.us.Thank you to Chad Godsey for joining us on North American Ag Spotlight and sharing his expertise on the future of agricultural productivity.Send us Fan MailEcorobotix, together with DFS Finance & AgDirect, is making it easier for growers to access the ARA Ultra High Precision Sprayer.

Banks have fought a comprehensive effort to ensure stablecoins cannot offer yield. But the Senate Banking Committee passed a bill that the banking industry still says falls short. Does that mean banks have lost the fight? Will a crypto market structure bill pass this year? Brendan Pedersen of Punchbowl News offers insights into the current and future state of play.
In her third collection, Nova Scotian poet Jaime Forsythe has created an elegant long poem with Yield (Buckrider Books, 2026). In these dreamlike lines a mother faces the postpartum void from a porous house by the ocean as the veil between land and sea, and between being lost and being found, grows thinner. With repeated waves of couplets Forsythe brings the reader unforgettable images: a pom-pom that hardens into a sea urchin, an underwater dance club, a coast that melts into the sea. Delicately tracing the disorientation and dark edges of new motherhood, this is a collection that embraces beauty and ambiguity with a baby that roots for milk while what's ancient—whether history or memory—floods in. Jaime Forsythe's previous books are I Heard Something (Anvil Press, 2018) and Sympathy Loophole (Mansfield Press, 2012). Her poetry and fiction have appeared in Arc, EVENT, Grain, The Malahat Review, Geist, The Ampersand Review and This Magazine, among others. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph and currently lives close to where she grew up in Nova Scotia/Mi'kma'ki. Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph. Fuse, her memoir of mixed-race identity and mental health, was released by Guernica Editions in 2021 and won the 2023 Canadian Bookclub Award for Nonfiction/Memoir. Learn more about your ad choices.

The conversation also takes a profound turn as Derek recounts a recent humanitarian trip to the high Andes of Peru, reflecting on how experiencing a simpler, yet fulfilling life shifts one's perspective on success and significance. Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on balancing the "debt and equity" equation and the importance of creating resident experiences built on trust and quality.

https://agxplore.com/assessment/ How do top growers consistently push yield boundaries while still focusing on return on investment? In this special Farm4Profit episode recorded from the AgX booth at Commodity Classic, Tanner and Corey sit down with AgX Sales Agronomist Billy Carter and three progressive farmers who are proving what's possible in modern agriculture. Minnesota farmer Ron Pagel shares how he surpassed the 300-bushel corn mark by combining advanced fertility programs, drone applications, fungicide timing, and a commitment to trying new ideas. Wisconsin farmer Dave Justman discusses balancing farming, retail agronomy, and the pursuit of higher-yielding soybeans while helping customers implement proven agronomic practices. Kentucky farmer and Kentucky Soybean Association President Jonathan Reynolds explains how conservation practices, cover crops, no-till management, and long-term soil health improvements have created a foundation for both yield and profitability. Throughout the conversation, Billy Carter breaks down the agronomic principles behind AgX's high-yield programs, including seed treatments, fertility management, fungicide strategies, plant growth regulation, hybrid selection, and the importance of focusing on details many growers overlook. Topics include: Breaking the 300-bushel corn barrier Building profitable high-yield systems Contest plots versus whole-farm ROI Cover crops and soil health as yield drivers Fragipan soils and improving water infiltration Nitrogen efficiency and fertility management Hybrid and variety selection strategies Drone applications and late-season management High-yield soybean challenges and opportunities The role of mindset, observation, and continuous learning Whether you're chasing yield contest results or simply looking to improve efficiency and profitability across your operation, this episode delivers practical lessons from growers who are constantly pushing the limits of what's possible in the field.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
AI is quickly becoming the go-to tool for property research—but can it actually predict where the market is heading?In this episode, Luke Metcalfe returns to put that assumption to the test, analysing thousands of suburb predictions across multiple GPT models and real market data. The result is clear: AI doesn't just struggle to forecast property growth—it often underperforms the market entirely.We unpack why this happens, from the way large language models are trained to the dangerous feedback loop of consensus-driven data. If AI is simply reflecting what's already popular, are investors just paying a premium to follow the crowd? The conversation also explores the rise of AI-generated property reports, the risks of relying on median data, and why many “data-driven” strategies may not be as objective as they seem.Beyond the critique, this episode shifts the focus to what actually drives capital growth. From owner-occupier demand and supply constraints to hyper-local, street-level dynamics, Luke shares what the data reveals when you strip away the noise. We also touch on how recent policy changes and shifting incentives could reshape investor behaviour—and why thinking like a homeowner may be more important than ever.If you've been relying on AI, hotspot lists, or broad market trends to guide your decisions, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and give you a clearer framework for investing with confidence.Episode Highlights01:27 – Meet Luke Metcalfe: Data Meets Property Reality03:35 – AI vs Reality: Why Predictions Underperform05:35 – AI Reports & Buyer Agents: Risky Shortcut?13:52 – Selling at a Loss: A Hidden Growth Signal16:18 – Humans vs AI: Who Gets Forecasting Right?22:49 – Budget Shock: How Incentives Just Changed26:52 – Supply, Scarcity & Why Tranquillity Wins29:51 – Fast Food & Growth: The Signal No One Expects31:44 – Rezoning Risks: Predicting What's Coming35:14 – Melbourne vs Sydney: A Tale of Two Markets37:23 – Investor Incentives Are Shifting Fast39:35 – Holding Property: What the Data Reveals43:09 – Rental Crunch: What's Really Driving It49:33 – Airbnb & Second Homes: Supply Squeeze52:24 – Yield vs Growth: What Actually Matters55:15 – Model Accuracy: Where Data Goes Wrong57:54 – Key Takeaways: What Investors Must KnowAbout the GuestLuke Metcalfe is the founder of Microburbs, a property analytics platform focused on uncovering the underlying drivers of capital growth at a granular level. With a background in data science and machine learning, Luke has spent years analysing Australian property markets using large-scale, longitudinal datasets that go beyond traditional metrics like median prices.His work centres on understanding property performance at the street and individual asset level, incorporating factors such as resale data, supply dynamics, and behavioural patterns. Known for challenging conventional wisdom in property investing, Luke combines technical expertise with practical insight to help investors move beyond trends, hype, and surface-level data.Through his research and platform, he continues to push for a more evidence-based approach to property decision-making—one that prioritises real outcomes over popular narratives.Connect with LukeLinkedIn - Luke MetcalfeEmail - Luke MetcalfeWebsite - MicroburbsLinkedIn - Microburbs ResourcesVisit our website: https://www.theelephantintheroom.com.auIf you have any questions or would like to be featured on our show, contact us at:The Elephant in the Room Property Podcast - questions@theelephantintheroom.com.auLooking for a Sydney Buyers Agent? https://www.gooddeeds.com.auWork with Veronica: https://www.veronicamorgan.com.auLooking for a Mortgage Broker? alcove.com.auWork with Chris: chrisbates@alcove.com.auEnjoyed the podcast?

The months keep getting more eventful and flying by faster. For starters, we are now in the Kevin Warsh era as the chair of the Fed; and as this gets published we are entering into the IPO summer frenzy. Yield volatility continues to persist and this time, it's not because due to private credit. Rather, a strong jobs print and hotter than expected (by others, not us) inflation is now pushing rate expectations higher.

www.iasoybeans.com/Farm4Profit Through more than 200 on-farm trials each year, the Iowa Soybean Association is helping farmers make better decisions based on real-world conditions, not controlled plots. Their work spans everything from seeding rates to fungicide use to nitrogen efficiency, all with one goal: improving profitability and sustainability at the farm level. One of the biggest takeaways? Many farmers are planting more soybean seeds than they need. Research shows populations can often be reduced to around 110,000 seeds per acre without sacrificing yield, creating a clear opportunity to cut input costs in tight-margin years. Another major focus has been fungicide and insecticide applications. Despite common “program” approaches where these products are applied every season, multiple years of trials have shown that in the absence of disease pressure, these applications rarely pay. In fact, only about one in five blanket applications delivers a return, reinforcing the importance of scouting before making application decisions. The conversation also highlights how far crop genetics have come—reducing the need for routine treatments that may have made sense years ago but don't always deliver value today. On the corn side, nitrogen efficiency continues to stand out. Some of the most efficient operators are producing strong yields using as little as 0.6 pounds of nitrogen per bushel by leveraging practices like split applications and better timing. Trials are also exploring the value of stabilizers in spring-applied nitrogen, showing early signs that protecting that investment can make a difference. At its core, this episode reinforces a simple but powerful idea: farmers don't need more data—they need better data they can trust. And when that data comes directly from farms like theirs, it becomes a tool they can use with confidence. If you're looking for ways to trim costs, improve efficiency, and make smarter agronomic decisions, this is a conversation worth paying attention to. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | May 26, 2026 Give thanks deeply for the goodness of God, especially for the privilege of being planted in a community where truth is pursued, received, tested, and lived out. Do not take lightly the grace of being surrounded by people who are learning to follow the Spirit, grow in the word, and become more like Christ. This is not a call to pride or comparison with others, but to gratitude and responsibility. When God places you in an environment where truth is unveiled, He expects you to respond with hunger, obedience, discipline, and transformation. You must understand righteousness as a journey of formation. First, righteousness is imputed to you as a gift through faith in Christ. You did not earn it; it was given by grace through the finished work of Jesus. You must reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God. This reckoning is important because you cannot live rightly if you do not first believe and accept what Christ has made available to you. Then righteousness must be imparted to you as you hear, receive, and obey the word of God. This is where transformation happens. The word renews the mind, reshapes the heart, corrects wrong patterns, and forms Christ within you. You do not become mature simply because righteousness was imputed to you; you grow as you submit to the word and allow it to work deeply in you. Finally, righteousness must become your garment. This is the place where righteousness is no longer something you occasionally attempt; it becomes your nature. Your responses, choices, instincts, and desires begin to reflect Christ naturally. You do not have to be forced to obey God because obedience has become your life. This is maturity: when living as a son becomes your true expression. Return continually to the secret place. The most holy place is not meant to be visited occasionally; it is meant to become your dwelling. The presence of God is where you are transformed, corrected, strengthened, and built. Psalm 91 is not just a promise to quote; it is a dwelling to enter. Learn to remain where God can shape you. Learn to stay long enough for your mind to be renewed and your soul to be changed. Learn stillness. Before rushing into the noise of the day, practice gratitude, quietness, meditation, and attentiveness before God. Be still and know. If you refuse stillness, you will struggle to know. Stillness trains your spirit to hear, discern, and respond. Meditate on the word. Speak the word. Let it remain in your mouth until it becomes your reality. Do not only write notes from what you hear; internalize truth until it becomes life. Understand that intimacy with God is personal. No one can cultivate your secret place for you. You must learn to speak with the Lord, listen to Him, receive from Him, and allow Him to write His laws upon your heart. In that place, He builds you. He forms you as a living stone. He shapes you so you can fit into the spiritual house He is building. Do not resist the dealings of God. Coming before Him means coming ready to be purified. He will confront the flesh, expose false identities, challenge the “this is how I am” excuses, and strip away what cannot inherit His nature. The pruning, chiseling, cutting, and correction are not signs of rejection; they are part of your preparation. You are being shaped for a place in His house. Yield to the process. Recognize that every believer has a role in the body. Do not think ministry belongs only to apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists. Their work is to equip the saints, but the saints must do the work of ministry. Helps, administration, government, encouragement, giving, accountability, discipleship, hospitality, kindness, intercession, and support are all spiritual operations when done in obedience to God. Do not despise small acts. A phone call, a word of encouragement, a shared insight, financial help, a prayer, or a simple act of care can supply strength to the body. Exercise your priesthood over your life, your home, your work, your territory, and your circumstances. Do not assume every breakthrough will happen simply because a prophetic word was spoken. Some things require prayer, fasting, obedience, warfare, discipline, and sustained priestly engagement. Take charge spiritually where things appear disorderly. Do not surrender your atmosphere to darkness. Learn to stand in your priesthood and enforce the will of God. Pay attention when God repeats a matter through different vessels. Repetition is often confirmation. When the same emphasis comes again and again, do not treat it casually. God may be pointing to something He wants rooted out, planted, rebuilt, or established in you. Submit to the work of true spiritual foundations. Stay long enough for what is wrong to be uprooted and what is of Christ to be built properly. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

"In the reign of the wicked Emperor Maximilian, there lived in Alexandria a maiden, Theodora, well-educated and of noble lineage. She was brought to trial before the pagans for her Christian faith. After long interrogation and torture for the Faith, the prince, her tormentor, ordered that she be thrown into a brothel and the soldiers given free access to her to indulge their carnal lusts. Theodora prayed fervently to God to save her from defilement, and, when she had prayed, a soldier called Didymus came in to her and told her that he was a servant of Christ. He dressed her in his soldier's garb and himself in her dress, then let her out and remained in the brothel himself. He was seized and brought before the judge, where he acknowledged that he was a Christian and had saved Theodora, and was now prepared to die for Christ. He was condemned to death and taken out to the place of execution. Theodora ran up to him there and cried out: 'Although you saved my honour, I did not ask you to save me from death. Yield the martyr's death to me!' Didymus replied: 'My beloved sister, do not hinder my death for Christ, nor the washing of my sins in my blood.' Hearing this exchange, the pagans condemned them both to death, and they were beheaded and their bodies burned. They suffered with honour and received eternal wreaths of glory in Alexandria in the year 304." (Prologue)

These guys like to make exclusive clubs... Markets - Starting to come in a bit..... - Yield curve steepening - potential for a hike over cuts - YIELDS! - Fuels running low - we have the list OH MY... - The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield has surged to around 5.14%, putting it at its highest level since the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis - Bets are pricing in the increasingly possibility of it reaching 5.5% to 6%, which would mark the highest levels since late 1999 - 30-Year mortgage near 6.35% (average) - DOWN from 6.91% at start of 2026 30-Year Yield Bored of Boards - The Board of Peace - remember that one? That was established in 2025 with 15+ countries that pitched in $1 billion for permanent seat - Indefinitely chaired by President Trump, the governing board is a mix of U.S. officials and prominent American businessmen. - So much for the peace part of that.... - Now we hear about the Board of Investment ---The US and China are discussing a mechanism for fast-tracking some Chinese investment deals and a reduction in tariffs on non-critical goods. - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned a "Board of Investment" that will be responsible for investment in non-sensitive areas. - The idea of the "Board of Investment" is to have a mechanism that could allow deals that wouldn't need to be referred to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. - In other words - working outside of the established channels that primary function is to determine whether these transactions pose risks to U.S. national security. IRAN - On and off as usual - Cancelled a scheduled bombing? - President Trump speaking with reporters says he will know "soon" if U.S. needs to give Iran another big hit; says Gulf states are helping with negotiations; says Iran keeps agreeing to things and changing their mind; says Iran has 2-3 days to make a deal - This is the parental attempt to manupluate a child - I am going to count to THREE.... 1-2-3-4-5-6 China Trip - Chinese President Xi Jinping warned U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday that the U.S. and China “will have clashes and even conflicts” if the long-standing issue of Taiwan's independence is mishandled. - Speaking just ahead of Trump, Xi noted the global attention on the meeting, and said a major question for the two countries was whether they could avoid the “Thucydides Trap,” according to an official English translation of his remarks broadcast by CCTV. - The Thucydides Trap refers to how tensions historically between a rising and ruling power have often resulted in a war. Some Observations - Veggie Prices are off the charts --- Cauliflower $9, Carrots $6 small bag (not organic) - - Favorite produce store noticed things going bad.... Realized that people are not buying stuff PPI Inflation - HOTTTTTTTT - Headline MoM: +1.4% - YoY: +6.0% - Core PPI (ex food & energy): about +1.0% MoM - Energy was a big part, but services also saw a large move - Highest monthly increase since march 2022 --- In reaction bonds are selling off - highest on 10 and 30 year since March 2024 (10 YR Broke above 4.65) Outbreak - An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization - 80 deaths were attributed to the disease. - Outbreak does not meet pandemic criteria, WHO says - Eight laboratory-confirmed cases and 246 suspected cases - At least six Americans in the DRC have been exposed to the Ebola virus, with three exposures deemed high risk WHAT? - One of the highest margin foods, pizza and pasta - Domino's Pizza, is among the pizza giants whose franchisees have filed for bankruptcy - Papa Johns: We have identified approximately 300 underperforming restaurants across North America that are not meeting brand expectations or lack a clear path to sustainable financial improvement, as well as locations where we can effectively transfer sales to a nearby restaurant - Pizza Hut, which also hasn't filed for bankruptcy (YET) , won't be left out of closings as the company's parent Yum! Brands in February said that it would close 250 underperforming locations as part of its Hut Forward plan in the first half of 2026. - PZZA down 65% over the past 5 years - The Papa John's board formally ousted founder and former CEO John "Papa" John" Schnatter in a series of steps culminating in July 2018 and March 2019 BONDS - Yields Spiking - U.S. Treasury yields spiked on Friday following a week of messy inflation data and as traders looked to price interest rate policy under new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh. - The yield on the 30-year bond jumped nearly 11 basis points to yield 5.121%, the highest since May 22, 2025, and nearing the highest since October 2023. - Japanese long-term bond yields have surged to multi-decade highs, with the 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) hitting 2.8%—its highest level since October 1996 M&A Utilities - U.S. power companies NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy announced a plan to merge on Monday in a $66.8 billion deal that ?will form one of the world's largest electric utilities during an expansion of energy-intensive data centers to support artificial intelligence. - The all-stock transaction, which is pending ?regulatory approvals, is one of the largest-ever energy mergers. - Industry consolidation - -- This year, AES Corp agreed to be acquired by a consortium led by Global Infrastructure Partners and Swedish ?private-equity firm EQT AB for $33.4 billion. ---- That followed Constellation Energy's $16 billion deal with Calpine and Blackstone's $11.5 billion deal for TXNM Energy last year. SOYBEANS - Trump's visit to China yielded little in the way of anything - The United States expects China to sign up to buy "double-digit billions" worth of U.S. farm goods following a summit between Presidents Donald ?Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on ?Friday. - Greer noted the 25 million metric ton per year soybean deal agreed last October and said the U.S. also expects to "see an agreement for double-digit billion purchases of ags over the next three years per year ?coming out of this visit." - Soybeans and other commodity prices moved higher on Monday as the news was disseminated. CHYNA Deals? - Looks like Boeing got an order of 200 more planes from China. ---- The problem is that was much less that was expected -- Boeing was down on the news. - Some murmurs about China buying more energy (oil, gas) from US - - - There was also something said about President Xi asking about the US intentions of Taiwan Bessent - Transitory - Even with recent inflation news universally bad, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expects price pressures to ease soon, just in time for new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to take over. -- Why are we listening to this crew? They have been wrong about everything - but say it with such confidence. - WAIT FOR IT...... - “I firmly believe that nothing is more transient than a supply shock, and we can, we can look through that, because before the Iranian conflict began, core inflation was coming down. - He noted that he sees substantial disinflation ahead ----- IF there is substantial disinflation that would be bad news as the economy will be slowing precipitously - could be problematic - so it is not clear what he is so excited about Earnings - NVDA is going to be position earnings Wednesday after the close - So far Semiconductor companies and storage companies have been saying that the orders keep flowing in and - Wall Street analysts project EPS of $1.78 on revenue of $79.2 billion, representing a year-over-year revenue increase of roughly 80%. Open AI - Musk - R0und 1- Musk looses on what looks to be a technicality - Perhaps jurors were miffed that he skipped closing arguments and went to China instead (to be the the Trump Posse) - Naturally he is already discussing appeal Even more Create Financing - Google (GOOG/GOOGL) and Blackstone (BX) are drawing significant investor attention following the announcement of TPU Cloud, a new U.S.-based joint venture designed to commercialize GOOG's Tensor Processing Unit infrastructure at greater scale. - The partnership underscores the accelerating arms race in AI infrastructure, while also highlighting how hyperscalers are increasingly turning to alternative financing structures to fund the enormous capital requirements tied to next-generation AI compute expansion.
