Lets Be Frank Podcast - Men's Mental Health
A highlight from Shadows of a Silhouette - Fortune Favours The Fortunate
"Welcome to Let's Be Frank, the men's mental health podcast. Join us as we break the stigma, embrace vulnerability and prioritize mental health in men. Together, let's use your voice. Guys, welcome back to Let's Be Frank, the home of men's mental health. Today, we have got a brilliant rock and roll quarter in the house that go by the name of Shadows of a Silhouette. And the sound is a fusion of alternative, rebellious and personal vibes. Coming from the heart of England, this band has released over 25 original tracks on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon. We're joined by Nathan Tyler, who, along with friend Greece, have been creating music for four years, turning out more than 50 songs on SoundCloud and major platforms. Drawing inspiration from legends like Arctic Monkeys, Bowie and Nirvana, the music has even graced BBC introduces for the East Midlands. And they've rocked the Metrodome in Nottingham. They've also played the Quarry Stage during the Wyandotte Festival in front of 2000 fans, an experience that fueled their passion for music. This year, they have hit the main stage at Wyandotte Festival, producing an unforgettable show. So guys, girls, stay tuned as we dive into the guys world and discover what drives this band's unstoppable journey. But as always, let's check in with resident host Mr Ryan Smith. How are you doing, mate? What an introduction that was, eh? I'll tell you what the hell's going on. This is like the big time now, isn't it? This is just like, I'm going to say so rock and roll, but that's like, I think that's more like 60s rather than the 90s, I don't know. Anyway, I just know I'm older than most of this band put together. So, yeah, no, absolutely brilliant to get these guys on. I'm feeling good. Started watching the ice hockey today, you know, a little bit late jumping on with you just because of the ice hockey. But do you know what? I'm in a good place. So, yeah, guys, welcome to the show. How are you all doing? Well, thank you. Thank you for having us on. You say you're a lot older than us all put together, but we all know, mate, you're still 21 in that. Hard to show if it was, but we break through and still look like a one year old messing about. Bless you, bless you, bless you. Panthers or Steelers? Don't mention that second one. No, if you mention that second one, you mention that second one and we'll just stop this right now. All right. No, no, no. I didn't realise. That's all right then. That's all right then. Yeah, yeah, Panthers, Panthers through and through. No, but guys, honestly, welcome to the show. We've been throwing a couple of conversations back and forth for a bit now and it's finally here. So, you know what? Guys, introduce yourselves. Well, we're Shadows of a Silhouette and, of course, we're a four piece band from Derby. We just, Derbyshire, we try and focus on sounds that are a bit more like authentic, like through and through. Even all of us playing our own instruments on songs like you wouldn't think that to be something that you'd be lacking in the music industry. But actually, nowadays it's more dominated by electronic simulated sounds. I'm Nathan Brown, the lead singer. I've got Rhys Carter, lead guitarist. And Ferg's in Corfu at the minute, but we've also got Tyler Anderson, our drummer. Fantastic. So, yeah, guys, I managed to listen to your latest track that's going to be released, I think, later this month. You know, well, later in September. We're recording this at the beginning of September. But, you know, you're going to be releasing that one. I'll tell you what, I was listening to my car on the way back from Mansfield earlier and it's catchy and I get it. You know, it's I think it speaks. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that being released. It's my personal favourite song that we've written for a long time. Yeah, it's fun to play in all life. Yeah, it's quite political. It's a banger. But, you know, it's really like a partial political. It doesn't really speak to supplement anybody else, any political party or belief system. It's more for the common man, isn't it? Yeah, it's just more for the common good side of politics. The politics doesn't actually get spoken about in politics. No, no. And, you know, I actually thought, you know, it actually reminded me of sort of Age of the Shadow puppets. Like Shadow puppets? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's that sort of... You're sorry? It's funnily enough the first band I ever saw live, actually. Yeah, that's why it's had that sort of beat to it, that sort of rhythm to it. And it just, yeah, you know, it was good, it was good. Well, I'll take that. Anyway, no, absolutely. What was the whole process behind writing that song? So, what was your thinking behind it and kind of how long has it taken you to... Well, I had a riff kicking about from the start of lockdown, really. Obviously, we couldn't practice, so... We were writing other songs. Got me loop pedal, yeah, and got the riff down. But we didn't really touch it until about, when was it? Like January? It started kicking it about, didn't we? We got some drums on it, and then Nathan wrote, as he does with most of our tracks, wrote all the lyrics for it. And, yeah, it's... It came quite quick, though, didn't it? It was just one of them, like, kick your fingers movement when you and us rehearsing. And then it just, we just all looked at each other and just thought, this is awesome, this. And then Nathan's writing side to it. It just... Put the structure together. Put the structure together, and then, like I say, it was just about... The words just came straight out. It's this one. Yeah, it's what we opened up the main stage with one or two as well. Yeah, it's brilliant. It's quite... Yeah, like, straight in your face, isn't it? Tempo, it's got tempo, it's got attitude. It's like hitting a knockout punch in the first round. It is a cracker, it is truly a cracker. It is really a cracker. Yeah, the lyrics, the lyrics. And it was, as you say, it... It's just the whole idea of that track. Straight in your face. Yeah, that's what we wanted. It's a song to get people's attention, really. And then it's... You know, who are these? And then it's... We've got you in the palm of his hand then. Crick up your ears. Also, it's an expression of that... Those little thoughts we all have about, you know, on a daily basis, when we're considering what's going on in the world around us. It's just a... No. With our ability to create media, to add into the great ocean of it, we think certain songs come out in principle, or because of principle, that something to have been spoken like that, or in a way, just for some... It can be heard from somewhere by someone. It's just about the rich going rich and the poor going poor early on, isn't it? Well, it's about the trap. We're all trapped. It seems like we're... The fucking mouse trap's already come down over us, and we're all stuck, you know. But life keeps going by for everyone as an individual. But there's a stranglehold on a lot of us, personally, as people trying to get through this world, but it's so slow for some people who don't have to suffer it. So, looking at kind of that... You know, looking at the song, are you speaking from your own sort of backgrounds and stuff as well, your own experiences? I think it's kind of impossible not to, of course. Like, when you are writing Straight From the Heart, not all of our songs are, right? Because sometimes it's nice to write a song about an idea that doesn't paint a memory. It's just... But then again, on the other hand of that, a lot of our tunes are personal anyway. Especially over the last couple of years, with what's gone off with Reece and Nathan and stuff like that. So, it's a way that I sort of... I'm sure Nathan's probably the same as to get these thoughts that are in your head. I have to get them out on paper and write them down about lyrics or poetry and then channel that into some of that music, which then becomes something tangible. The thoughts that you've got in your head, for me, it's the perfect way to sort of... Say what you want over it. Yeah, get it out and... To make room. Then it becomes relatable, because although it's personal to you, other people can then relate to that and hear what you're saying. Like, yeah, I know what you're on about here. Well, certainly we want to know what it feels like when they can hear the fact that we're getting something off our chest in these songs. Yeah, yeah. Because it's not whitewashed at all, really. We all work full -time, full -time jobs. We didn't go to uni or study music or anything. We came together because we all... Look like rockin' art. Look like rockin' art. We think it's one of the best things in the world. It's a freedom from life. That's good the thing about music, where it doesn't matter what race you are, doesn't matter what religion you are, everybody can come together and just be in the same field or at a venue and enjoy the same thing. Everything goes out the window. It's a universal language. And there's a lot of culture where we come from, a lot of working culture of people working really hard, raising families, but not really making enough time for themselves. We come from an area in the East Midlands where lot a of insufferable mental health is right there on the surface, but people don't even talk about it. They all know what's going on with each other. I know Jack's got a question for you, but obviously we've just jumped on beforehand and where I live, it's actually, what, five, ten minutes from... Not even ten minutes, is it, from where a couple of you guys live? So I get what you're saying. You're looking at the smaller sort of outlying villages that are ex -coal mining places. It's a similar sort of state in Wales. It's a similar sort of state in Lancashire, Yorkshire and things like this. And it's these forgotten roots. And listening to that track that you've shared with us, you can really hear what you guys are trying to achieve. So it's more of an observation rather than a question. But I know Jack's got a question for you. Before we come, because obviously we're going to look at your personal journeys and kind of delve into there and prod around a little bit, but while we're on the subject of why not, I want to ask you guys, how was that experience going main stage? It didn't even seem like that much of... There was a feeling of being out of place, but also at the same time being exactly where we're going. Yeah, it wasn't imposter syndrome, but you feel like... The best thing is if you feel like you've earned it, but then you also feel that if you're not getting nervous for a gig like that, I think you've got to get nervous to some degree, because at the end of the day, you're entertaining people and everyone's around on you to put a good show out. And then we just hope we deliver. And that's like, it doesn't matter how much of a buzz we've got to have to play. And the first thing I said to people closest to me was, did you like enjoy it? It's not about us, it's about the fans. Yeah. But the experience is just... What was that feedback like? Oh, brilliant, yeah. Absolutely awesome.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Fresh update on "midland" discussed on The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
"Yes, it's very concerning. And again, the issue that you and I talk most about our ability to deter war with China and then win the new Cold War of the long term, I fear is suffering. We don't have 18 months to waste. We simply cannot waste 18 months awaiting the coming of some messianic presidential figure to solve all our problems. Congress needs to step up and lay the foundation for a successful foreign policy in the short term, in the mid term and in the long term. Yeah. If you have a chance to encourage McHenry today to go over and sit down with Senate leadership on the Republican side and do a package, take the heat and then go back to financial services, what he's really good at, and let someone have 15 months of just a clear sailing, because we can't do this three or four more. Well, we can. We probably will, actually. I've been around longer. There's actually probably no way out of this, but I'm glad you're at work with the time. Did you stay there all night or did you just come in this morning? I have to do a few meetings this morning, Hugh. But hey, I want to reassure you, Hugh, I want to end on a note of optimism and just say it's always darkest before it gets pitch black. That's exactly. We could do this all again next week. I mean, really. But these these 10 knuckleheads are not going to Wile E. Coyote, congressman, are not going anywhere. Chairman Gallagher, thank you for joining us. Keep doing the work of this special select committee, please. I'll be right back. America, stay tuned. When the government used emergency edicts during COVID to restrict the gathering and worship of churches, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines and their own churches being ripped apart, took a courageous stand and reopened their doors and the face of a world that chose to comply. The Essential Church is a feature length documentary that explores the struggle between the church and government throughout history. This fascinating story uncovers those who've sacrificed their lives throughout history for what they truly believe in. We discover why the church is essential and how we prove that this stand remains true from a scientific, legal and most importantly, biblical perspective. This is not your typical movie. It'll change your life. You need to see this movie with your friends and family. The Essential Church is streaming today exclusively at Salem now dot com. That's Essential Church streaming at Salem now dot com. Hey, good morning, Governor. How are you? Good. How are you doing? I'm great. I would be committing malpractice if I didn't ask for your reaction to what happened yesterday in the House of Representatives. You are an alumni of the House. What do you think? Well, it's a strong contrast to how we do business in Florida. I think you see a lot of theater, a lot of chaos. I'm not sure it ever leads to any results, whereas in Florida, everything we do is is calculated to deliver outcomes and to create a better life for the people down here. I also think just reflecting on you had like, what, five or six members, Republicans joined with all these Democrats. You know, we were supposed to have a red wave in 2022. And that didn't happen. It happened in Florida. And we delivered four additional Republicans. But that was one of the best environments to run in for Republicans, probably since like the 1940s. And we totally muffed it. And I think that that this is part of the follow on from that. But we just need leadership. I mean, we need to put leaders out there, deliver for the folks that we represent. So I think that we need we need order, we need smooth government operations and we need to deliver results. That's what we've done in Florida for the last five years. And you see the contrast. Governor, now let me turn to the big stuff. I had dinner last night with a Marine Corps general, not general officer, a field officer. And they asked me to ask you about grand strategy. And I read your your promises to fix the military and how you are going to do that, quote, within six months, the performance of all personnel in forest and our command and staff billets will be reviewed and goes on. It's very good plan. He asked, though, what is the grand strategy you will sit down by me, the resolute desk on day one with specifically China, Russia and Iran? They are working together. How do you break up that deal? Well, we need a whole society approach to fending off the CCP. This is our top threat. This decade will be the decisive decade. This is a military confrontation, perhaps a technological, economic, cultural, all of those things. We need to be have national policy geared towards fending off the CCP. And I think that Washington's policy, the D.C. kind of smart said they they've had all bark and very little bite with respect to China. I think on the current course, China will surpass us as we get into the next decade to some of the things we're going to do. You need more hard power in the Indo-Pacific. We are going to have a naval buildup. We'll have we'll shoot for three hundred fifty five ships after the first term and we'll get to three hundred eighty five ships after term two. But I think even more importantly than that, reinvigorating our defense industrial base and our shipbuilding capacity so that within 20 years we could get close to six hundred ships. I think that we had an opportunity when covid hit to really mobilize the country behind a common purpose of fending off the CCP. And we could have started doing some of this naval buildup there, but that's really, really important. And so we're going to do that. But I think everything we do is going to be viewed through the prism of how do we counter the China threat? Obviously, there's other threats in the world and we'll deal with those. But just like Reagan dealt with the Soviets, above all else, we need our grand strategy to focus on China above all else. Now, Governor, how does Russia fit in that? Because what my officer friends had last night, what's the end state that he envisions in Russia vis-a-vis Ukraine? What do you consider stability for the world in a position from which we can turn to the main player in the threat, which is China in the new Cold War? Well, we can stop empowering Russia through a dysfunctional energy policy. You can have the Green New Deal. I don't want that. I think it's bad. But just understand, when you go in Biden's direction, you are helping Russia. You're helping Iran. You're helping Venezuela. You're also helping China. So we put out in Midland, Texas, a couple of weeks ago our plan for American energy dominance. We're going to choose Midland over Moscow. We're going to choose the Marcellus over the Mullahs and we're going to choose Bakken over Beijing. Biden is effectively funding both sides of that conflict. His energy policy helps Moscow. He's also relieved sanctions on Iran and then, of course, did the six billion. They're very much invested in helping Russia with all those things. But I think we have the economic levers to be able to weaken Russia, and that's just beyond the current conflict. That is what they rely on. And Biden's energy policy will make Russia more powerful. My energy policy will weaken Russia. Now, you are a veteran and a Navy man, but you realize I think you realize the budget just can't continue on as it has. We have to re reallocate between the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Space Force and the Coast Guard. Do you have a plan and do you have someone in mind who would be the sec def that would come in and really do what Weinberger did for Reagan, which is reshuffle the DOD so that we get it back to warfighting? Yes, and so I would say rather than name and name, I'd say what I'm looking for in a sec def is somebody, one, I think it's been a mistake to have some of the retired generals go in. I supported the Mattis waiver. I think he's a great officer. But I think you need somebody who's not part of kind of that club, somebody that's got strong executive skills, and that's really going to be able to hold people accountable. It's not going to be popular in Washington, but is going to be willing to make the tough decisions and show that there's a new sheriff in town because the bureaucracy in the Pentagon is totally out of control. I do think that if you're if you're pursuing a China strategy like like I would, you do need a stronger Navy and a Marine Corps. I mean, that's just the reality of the threat that we face. So we're going to do that, but we're going to have a culture of accountability. It's to me, you look at the Afghanistan debacle, not one person has been held accountable for that entire Afghanistan debacle. And I kind of feel like 50 years ago, if that had happened, there would have been massive resignations, massive terminations. And yet you had none of that. So so we do need to have a culture of accountability and we will deliver that. When you get there, if you're the president, will you do an after action report on everything from closing Bagram right down to Abigail? And will you name names? Yes, absolutely. We need to. All right. I appreciate that. I want to talk about running mates for a second, Governor, because it's always been a tradition to wait till the last week. That's a stupid tradition. I want a fighter and I want generational change. And I say that as a 67 year old, we just cannot have an old running mate. We you know, we don't need a Lloyd Benson. We know. What is your idea for running mate? Because I don't believe in racial and gender balance on the ticket. I want someone who can fight and articulate.
THE EMBC NETWORK
A highlight from Women's Empowerment Series with Dr Hynd and Heather Egginton.
"We're going live. OK, we're live. Wonderful. Welcome, everyone, to a new episode of the Women's Empowerment Series. I have with me an incredible and beautiful guest, Heather Egginton, from UK. I am so happy and honored that we finally made it to be able to actually do this episode together. So the Women's Empowerment Series is a platform where we have female leaders from around the world who are making a difference and who, through their work, they're really impacting their community, people around them, and impacting people from all around the world. So welcome, Heather. Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. May I say, like, I appreciate you so much. I've seen you have these conversations on a regular basis and, like, to show up regularly. Yeah, consistently. It's quite big stuff, isn't it, you know? It is, but you know what? Because I love meeting incredible women like you. And each time, it's just fascinating. And I just love your accent. So it's going to be a fun, fun conversation. Yeah, so where are you? Are you based in London? Or where are you connecting from? Right, so I'm based in the Midlands. And that's, like, literally in the middle of the UK, like, if you're looking at the map, in a place called, or an area called Tropshire, which is very country -esque. That's nice. It's green. Yeah. It's a lot of, ah, I love that. Horses? Sheep, horses, cows, you name it. I like that. Oh, we have our friends from Facebook. Hello. We have people connecting. Let us know where you're connecting from. We want to greet you. And let's talk about love today. This is what's our theme. Our theme is love. You are a love life coach. And I think it's incredible that you have that as a title, because it's just on its own. It's like, wow, it's intriguing. And we want to hear more of it. So what brought you, Heather, to become a leader in this, in the coaching business, and also a wild mentor? Hey to everyone who's watching. It's lovely to see other people joining in. I, well, I call it a love first coach. A love first, OK. Yeah. And the reason I kind of made that distinction is because a lot of things I created before I was around 40, I didn't really love. Like, I kind of did it for everyone else, you know? And I wasn't really kind of that aware of who I was being in those moments when I started, I suppose, performing for others. You know, I was really successful. I mean, I worked in quite a male -dominated environment. I was closing million -pound deals with the likes of IBM and Vodafone and whatnot. And I was earning lots of money driving a Porsche. You know, I had all the money. There was lots of... And were you living where you live today? Were you always there? Near, near to. Yeah, near to. I mean, actually, you know, it's... While I was doing that, I had a side hustle as well. I do property and development. So, like, I've renovated, I think it's eight houses now, and I've built one from scratch as well. Yeah, I was doing it in the background, and it was an accidental, kind of, bought my first house at 21, and then just kept buying them and renting them, you know? So, I was kind of doing that in the background. And then I was just presented with an opportunity to kind of coach my boss into an exit plan, really. And I'd already had some support at 35. And they asked me, you know, what is it you want, Heather? I mean, like, who gets asked that question? Like, tell me, like, when was the last time you sat with someone and they actually genuinely wanted to know? And so I was like, I don't know. Like, I really don't know. I just know that I'm not happy and I feel really lonely. And like, although I've got all of these things, right, I don't feel like in love with my life at all. Not at all, no. And you were successful. You were like a businesswoman, you know, like structure and, you know, closing deals. It's a dream, right? That's a dream. You'd like to think, you'd like to think, right? That was like, on the outside, everything about me said success, amazing. I think she's really happy on the inside of dying. Wow. Did you feel that all the way or when you reach certain level of wealth and of achievements in your business? As a real estate or as a deal closer? So what do you mean? Did I always, even while I was doing other things, did I feel, yes, and it was because what I'd done is I've really, really worked hard to control my emotions, my feelings. Like all the things that - Like you shut them down. You don't - Totally, yes. Like all the things that are uncontrollable, right? Unpredictable. Like I was like, no, I'm not gonna feel that today, you know, and it was just like a box, a box, a box. Let's just put all this here. And like falling in love, like, hold on, the last time I fell in love, my fiance cheated on me. Why would I even wanna do that again? And like, ugh, you know? Wow, yeah. So you were looking for passion and spark and you know, like emotional, feeling alive emotionally. That's the word I think. Oh my gosh, yes. I wanted to feel alive again. I'd lost sight of who I was, what really mattered to me as well. Like I didn't see my family and even if I did, I was on my phone, on emails, supporting clients, you know. And that was like really a good chunk of my life. I started work when I was 14 and hallelujah. I kind of, when they asked me what I wanted, I was like, do you know what? I'm gonna retire at 40 from having to work. That's what I want. Well, if you started that early, yeah. That seems a lot of years, yeah. So many. This is incredible, yeah. And so what was that day where you decided this is it, that's enough? Because obviously you had to listen to yourself because before, it's not that you were not there, you had that drive and looking for emotional spark, but what is it that made you listen to it? I think there was two key elements to this. One was like my boss at the time who had worked tirelessly for 10 years that threw me under a bus, literally.

"You know, massive, massive sort of world-renowned sort of TV programme, you know, you look at the cast now on that, and his role come from, you know, his, you know, so why is that being closed down to everybody else? You know what I mean? It's tough. It's like, he can afford to not do the roles that we need, like, for example, Hugh Grant can afford to skip a paycheck or two, he can afford to skip a film or two, where people like us can't, and if I could chat to him and the casting director, my question would be, why? That's what I want to know, that's what I want to know more than anything, because why?

Real Estate Coaching Radio
"midland" Discussed on Real Estate Coaching Radio
"Neighborhood specific Facebook pages, neighborhood specific WhatsApp groups. This is inexpensive and can be effective. Now, I would say randomly effective. Post your just listed in just sold as well as wanted request for your buyers. So this is kind of like now and then you're going to have little sorties into neighborhood specific online media. This, I would not necessarily put as a stand-alone spoke. This is more of a support spoke to your existing business. But I have to say, I have had coaching clients tell me that what they're doing. I'll give you an example of what I mean by going in and using it now and then. I had a coaching client in Louisiana. She took a listing. She sold it right away. She had multiple offers. She posted on her neighborhood next door for that neighborhood listing. She said, the good news is, we sold it right away. The bad news is, there's four other people looking in this neighborhood who's next. She got an immediate listing off of next door doing that. Again, this is the reason it's point number 15. It's 30 ideas of lead generation. That's right, Midland, because we do know if you work it correctly, you will generate leads from it. And they're also next door, I think they're selling ads now. Angie's list sells ads, things like that. But at the end of the day, this is an effective way, but understand it is passive, you can not essentially spend time or even money on a little ad on nextdoor and really 100% know you're going to get anything from it. We don't like that for you. No. We want you to spend your money in your time on things that will a 100% get you a lead that will result in a closed transaction that will get you paid. That is our focus. Hopefully that's your focus as well. So is it worth doing yes, but can you absolutely count on it and call it predictable and duplicatable?

"-year yield in the US at 4 .95 percent after it briefly hit the 5 percent handle earlier looking at levels the highest since 2007 across the 10 and 30 -year end of the curve. In the European bond space, the German 10 -year bond yield at 2 .99 percent, two basis points higher this morning after briefly touching the 3 percent level as well. On equity markets, the stock 600 down a 10th of 1 percent, the FTSE 100 is a 10th of 1 percent higher, the CAC Caron down by two tenths, the DAX in Frankfurt is four tenths of 1 percent lower as well. In terms of the sectors that are moving in trading in Europe, Europe, we had been looking at the vast majority of sectors in the red, we're now seeing some more positivity return to European stocks, utilities up by seven tenths, media shares six tenths higher, with about a third of sectors in the green, but auto in parts as the worst performing sector down by 1 .24 percent Anna. Those are the markets, let's get to a market stories story. this morning, One of our the top relentless sell -off in US government bonds is sparking turmoil across global bond markets. The 30 year treasury briefly hit five percent for the first time since 2007, while the German 10 -year yield crossed three percent for the first time in 12 years. The route deepened after the latest US data showed job openings increasing by more than expected in the month of August. Our markets reporter Valerie Titel says the moves are in recent times. This route in the treasury market is just absolutely phenomenal. I've never seen anything like it myself. I've been in the markets for nearly 15 years now. The steepening that we're seeing since Jerome Powell's testimony two weeks ago, that was 10 sessions ago. The sell -off mentioned by Valerie Titel is also seeing conditions deteriorating corporate credit. At least two borrowers standing down planned issuances on Tuesday amid the market volatility. The market reaction comes as Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic shared his thoughts on the hiking cycle. Speaking at an event in Atlanta, he said the Fed should hold rates at elevated levels. What I'm grateful to say is that we've seen inflation come down. I feel like we're in restrictive space now, and now we just need to let that restriction play out and let it continue to bring inflation down to get back into the range of our target, and if we can do that, that would be a good thing. Bostic's comments come as the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also weighed in on the debate. She told a conference in Washington that while the strength of the US economy suggests rates will remain higher for longer, it's by no means a given. Saying in the US, Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as the House Speaker after Republican hardliners rebelled over his compromise with Democrats to avert a government shutdown. Goldman Sachs says the move raises the risk of a shutdown next month as his eventual successor will be under even more pressure from those on the right of the party. The move ends a tumultuous nine months in the job for McCarthy, who says he won't run for the position again. I don't regret standing up for choosing governing over grievance. It is my responsibility. It is my job. I do not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise. I don't regret my efforts to build coalitions and find solutions. I was raised to solve problems, not create them. Despite McCarthy's lack of regret, the latest turmoil has fueled concerns about deepening dysfunction in Washington. The last time the House even voted on removing a speaker was in 1910 and in that case the office holder survived the test. Here in the UK, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to announce that part of Europe's biggest infrastructure project, HS2, is being scrapped. It's understood the Prime Minister will use his speech at the Conservative Party conference to soften the blow announcing that some of the savings will be used to boost other parts of the UK's transport network but Labour's Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the plan is a disgrace. Do not pull the plug on the North of England. Do not treat people here as second -class citizens when it comes to transport because if you do do those things people here will never forget. Burnham's criticism has been echoed by both the former Chancellor George Osborne and Conservative West Midlands Mayor Andy West. Here's what he told Bloomberg Radio. My argument is you do need to have HS2 so that's not really the question is it? And of course what's been put to the Prime Minister is a proposal which is supported by private businesses to say let us try to rethink the lake to the north but it is still needed Those comments from Andy Street and others have helped to cast a long shadow over the annual Tory gathering. HS2 was a core plank of the party's previous pledge to level up economic opportunities across the country. Palantir the data analysis firm co -founded by the tech billionaire Peter Thiel has emerged as the top pick for a major NHS data contract. The five -year deal could be worth close to half a billion pounds and focuses on analyzing medical information. Palantir's relationship with the NHS has been criticized by civil and rights patient advocacy groups who worry about data privacy and the firm's work with intelligence and defense agencies. And billionaire investor Ray Dalio says US -China relations are close to breaking down. Speaking to David Weston, the Bridgewater Associates founder warned of the conflict between the largest world's economies. The US -China relationship are in a number of areas on the brink of red lines. So, in other words, these irreconcilable differences, they're right on the brink. Dalio went on to say the breaking point would be if the United States came out in favor of an independent Taiwan that he said would be quote the equivalent of a declaration of war. Dalio's nurtured long relations with Chinese officials and previously expressed admiration for some of Beijing's economic policies. Those are our top stories on the markets then. The stock 600 is down by around a tenth of a percent on Wall S Street &P E -mini futures are down by a quarter of 1 % and the 10 -year US Treasury yield is at 4 81%. We see that yield going up higher again this morning. And it is on those markets where we're going to turn to next the route that is upending of course all markets it appears this morning or at least across asset classes as well. We had those milestones hit for the 30 -year Treasury yield in the US hitting 5 % briefly it's now at 4 .94 % the 10 -year German bunch yield hitting 3 % for the first time since 2011 as well. Joining us now to discuss Valerie Tytel our Market Supporter and Chrissy Gupta as well of course Bloomberg Anchor with us too. This Valerie has been quite the 24 hours on bond markets can you just take us through that give us a size and scope rundown of what's happened? I have not taken my eyes off the screen I barely slept last night amid this Treasury route it was one of the worst sessions for the Treasury market yesterday and the concerning thing is is Stephen that it's continuing today we're continuing to see these yields march higher but yesterday's move was just phenomenal we had the 15 basis point move in the long

"There are many ways to raise your average sale price on purpose, my favorite being expired, because unlike many other spokes, avenues of business, unlike many others, you can actually choose. You can literally choose your own listing inventory. You can say, you know what? Today, I'm going to look through those hundred expires that happened over the past 90 days in my market. And I'm going to identify 20 of my favorite my favorite neighborhoods, price range, et cetera. And I'm going to list at least ten of them. The thing that will surprise all of you is that it is not only is the same skill set that the Illinois premier coaching is it applicable in all price ranges in all market conditions. But unfortunately, fortunately, and think opportunistically, then it'll be fortunately. Upper end agents generally speaking don't have as great of a skill set because they don't have to is say average or lower price agents. If you find an agent who's selling like 75, a hundred plus homes per year and a market where the wherever the average sale price is, if you take that agent and you drop them in a market that's upper end, that agent that's used to having to battle every single day to get a transaction will dominate in that upper end market. Every upper end agent knows what I'm saying is true because the upper end agents make so much more money per house. They really haven't ever had to get really good at their skill set. They aren't very good at lead follow-up generally speaking. They aren't very good at presenting. They're not very good at being competitive. A lot of them especially in the last 15 years have gotten their business from social from CO2 centers of influence past clients. So if you are a Midland agent like we were, we are selling real estate and you wanted to go to becoming upper end agent like we did when we were selling real estate, you will be shocked how frequently you can just essentially just move to that geographic area and assuming you followed the plan for the first three or four years of what we just laid out for you. You'll be able to go in that market and you'll be able to actually take more or less things and get more business faster because your competitors are ill prepared because they are coming. They don't have your experience. So there you go. Point number 7. Exactly. Point number 7 continue to invest, but keep your investments non speculative. It's a well-known fact that people with less net work worth make riskier investments have read lots of reports on that. People with higher net worth are more careful with what they invest in. Rental properties, stocks with a solid history, et cetera, are better than, say, crypto, for example. Yeah. So be careful with what you're investing with.

"Members of the conservative party rejected rishi sunak as leader they voted for liz truss they got rishi sunak after liz truss's disastrous mini budget and the crashing of the uk bond markets effectively but he stabilized things and joining me this morning to discuss what could be in this speech is bloomberg's uk correspondent lizzie you and i have been at party conference for four days you know the whole buildup has been towards the speech from the prime minister at lunchtime today what do you think might be in it well caroline you're asking what the theme tune might be what he might walk into i know he's a taylor swift fan maybe it'll be look what you made we do that could be a good reference to hs2 maybe it'll be blank space referring to the lack of policy at this conference no surely something much more positive and upbeat that is what rishi soon is going to try to do what we've been told is that he's going to promise to fundamentally change britain that could include an increase in the legal age at which you can smoke here in the uk effectively a ban what's likely to dominate the speech as i say is hs2 grant shaps the defense secretary has already confirmed this morning we're going to be speaking to him but he's already confirmed that we are expecting the northern leg to be scrapped in this speech there's a sense that this conference slogan long -term decisions for a brighter future are jars with that decision given that the project has been in the works for five predecessors this time of rishi sunak but you could actually get other transport projects in the north announced to sweeten the blow andy burnham the manchester mayor he says why does manchester the north have to choose why can't it have it like all the south but fundamentally this is a government that's been in for 13 years it's going to be hard to present himself as the long -term change candidate the latest savanta polling that's just landed in my inbox suggests that last week when the tories actually clawed back a bit of the gap in the polls it was just an anomaly and now that's been reversed so i wonder whether this is the moment where rishi sunak actually shows a bit of personality the real rishi sunak and whether he hints at his personal story because at the end of hunt speech if you remember the chancellor jeremy hunt there was one line about rishi sunak's personal story being about about aspiration maybe we get a bit more of that today yes absolutely um this is the the person who of course made it to an elite private school then to oxford then to golden sachs made it as a an mp voted in then to chancellor and now the first british asian prime minister in the uk's history and of course i think trying to breakthrough perhaps the slightly more technocratic air that he often gives off and which he shares as with kier stammer he does and also perhaps this speech needs to convince the hall of his political now so as you say hs2 has overshadowed a lot of the discussions today but there was also a sort of similar snafu when it comes to rolling back some of the green pledges that the party had he had to come with an emergency press conference totally right but it's not just the other policies that are stealing the like it's also with the personalities the former prime minister liz making their thinly veiled auditions like suella braverman like kemmy beat beat it now but also nigel farrar has been an unlikely star of this conference so rishi sunak as you say is is going to have to demonstrate some political now so if he wants to put the spotlight back on himself yes we have seen a lot of these individuals um of course walking around the hall which we're sitting in here in manchester and especially nigel forage and i think this is peculiar now to the uk you know the politician turn broadcaster what hat after they wearing at which point i think it's quite fascinating and you're going to be speaking to go out shots on the big tv uh a little bit later on today i can see him over there okay oh yes we certainly he's inches away on television and we also are going to be presenting the uk politics podcast later on we'll bring you the prime minister speech live we're also going to bring you um our interview with robert hayward who is the crossbench pier and pollster uh to think a little bit about the electoral maths also the next to by elections that are coming um what do we need to think about in of terms response reaction from business as well as politics to what the prime minister has to today say well we've already been getting a lot of loud warnings from other politicians outside the tory party and within it let me say the mayor of the west midlands andy street has warned that scrapping the northern leg of to would damage the uk's international reputation among investors and in fact there are fears he that could resign over it would be a huge embarrassment given that he himself is a conservative but you also asked about the business response on bloomberg tv this morning we were speaking to the may ceo he says that it would undermine a massive amount confidence of in uk plc that's exactly the same message that i got from rayne newton smith the cbi director general yesterday what business wants is certainty yeah that word is crucial and peculiar also so that the devolved mayor seemed to be the main power centers uh you know outside of london now such significant influence who knew devolution would be like this yeah absolutely andy burnham and andy street uh bloomberg tk

"I think you maybe had one little Midland producer. Up and coming. Right. Up and coming. Right. We don't call them new agents who come up and coming. And from your perch, talking with all these folks from all over the country, any big takeaways, and I know a lot of your personal coaching clients are actually also really huge listing agents as well. Yes, I would say the big takeaway that I have, first of all, big shout out and kudos to them for being really drilled down with some extremely specific goals. We're not just, yes, we're doing goal setting for next year. But also for the rest of this year to have some really specific monthly goals. So if you have when you have listings, are they selling or aren't they selling? I would tell you one observation from a coaching standpoint is that unlike what we've seen over the past even decade or so we're kind of the market moved the same. Most people are getting multiple offers and escalating prices blah blah blah. Now we're having to really look at each individual listing as its own thing. And that's kind of the point of this podcast series is if your listings didn't sell right away right away being in the first weekend or two, what are you supposed to do about it? Because they don't all act the same. My listing agents that carry ten, 15, 20 actives, they're still having some that get multiple offers, mostly in the more moderate price ranges, where maybe they got investors competing, whatever. And then others where it seems like we're having to make some changes. We're going to have to do something about the feedback. We're going to maybe do a price adjustment. But overall, I would say agents have to be a lot more aware, a lot more tuned in, communicating at a higher level, and at the same time building listing inventory because as you said, this is the best time to be doing that.

"What else do they offer? And don't be surprised if you talk to two different lenders and they don't have the same list, different lenders do different things. Point number three, do you keep any of the loans or are they sold on the secondary market? A lender who keeps loans is called a portfolio lender. You can think of them as putting the loans into their portfolio. Some will keep a 100% of the loans in-house and others only keep certain types of loans in-house. Portfolio lenders are sometimes more flexible with their requirements. This is important if you have somebody that maybe has an interesting combination of employment or maybe they are recently moved to a different type of job. You just wanted to ask, why is it important that they keep it in-house? Because if they don't have to market it on the secondary market, then their requirements are perhaps a little bit more lenient. So let's break this down. What you should have in a market like this is you should have a lender that's a first time specific specifically geared towards first time buyers. Most lenders you talk to are going to say they can do any kind of loan and maybe some of them can. But for the most part, you're going to find some lenders are going to be FHA VA approved. Those are generally speaking great first time buyers. And then you're going to have the Midland buyer and the Midland lender. And that's going to be a lender that's going to be able to work with a lot of people that are, you know, basically they're not first time buyers necessarily, but they're moving up. They have some down payments. They're going to have to have a very wide variety of different loan products. They're going to have loan products. And again, these are generally speaking, not going to be these are all going to be conforming loans, right? So conforming loan is where essentially it's not a consider to jumbo or a non conforming loan. Those are the ones that, you know, Fannie Mae will essentially fall within Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines.

Some dot work so. It's just interesting. Because i think every single lemon i know comes from oil and gas right as in when we originally talked. We're talking about You know lemon that. Wanted to transition from oil and gas to renewables. You know it's very much. It's very analogous right in. It's close to one to one skillset transfer and so we were talking about. You know helping lemon the transition from willing guests to renewables and so tell us a little bit you know. How did you get started with vanguard When did you start that firm. And what was the model there you know. Just have a bunch of in house landman. And that's where you're kind of seeing these problems with reliability and transparency. Sure absolutely so. I got my start doing it with the hilliard energy out of midland texas. Yeah they they opened a shop in lincoln nebraska so was was with those guys forbid went onto another firm was a project manager for them for eight years. And then yeah the opportunity to step out and do my own thing and so you know through my experience working for others. I knew that. I wanted to pay as much as i could to. Really reward folks for for their abilities and maintain and retain top talent and again one of the frustrations was. We did that. And you know that worked. That worked well but we still ended up in certain situations where we just ended up paying somebody A fair amount of money to to you know not not do their job and so if we could figure out how to really learn about someone and analyze their background their character traits their skill sets. And so that's where with vanguard. We started to do that.

A European University Adds An Esports Education Platform ft. Richard Withers of KAMK
"Led to the development of this new. Kind of Esports education platform for the University. Yeah. So so firstly, thank you for having me. I appreciate it off. Any opportunity to discuss the topic of Esports education especially in this day and age. I think they're sort of a a stigma surrounding the topic of a sports education. Especially with certain people in the industry, wanting to put out some less than valuable should I say opportunities for for up-and-coming talent, where you're not really getting a valuable education and you're putting a lot of money into this. So, it's really important for me to come on these sort of shows and just highlight that there are some some great players in the scene who are really providing some valuable education for those who want to pursue a career in sports. As you said I'm the E Sports development manager here at kind of University of applied sciences. We're definitely not the largest here in Midland but when it comes to sort of gaming and he Sports, we've developed quite a unique ecosystem surrounding that from the University universities Inception, quite some time ago. Now far before I join a gym One, they've had a well-known and well-respected game development. Degree offered in finished. Some of the graduates of went on to the largest game development, companies in the world, like supercell Rovio soft. So there was already that amazing gaming culture here that University, but when we were able to be one of the first, if not only the, the first in the world to offer a full bachelor's degree, these Sports business, of course that further exemplified our, our ecosystem here surrounding gaming and Esports. So although we are a smaller University on many of our students are focusing on the topic of either game development or e-sports. So it's definitely a very exciting opportunity for us. The degree itself is practical degree, of course, not during these times with covid-19 and everything, we've had to transition to an online format but fingers crossed going into the upcoming month. Autumn all of our students will be back with us on campus. That said, has been for the past three years, which is amazing. Especially as our course heavily focuses on the Practical elements. So getting our students that valuable hands-on experience and allowing them to grow their Network pool. So, of course, that is made much easier. When you're able to actually come in person off, we're constantly having industry experts. Come to speak to the students. And there are many student owned and operated organizations, like constant GT, which you mentioned. I'm the CEO off. So, I sort of act as the connection between the students and the upper management here at the University. But that organization allows the students to sort of get their hands in an industry that they do. It's sort of an all-encompassing brand. They do everything you can imagine from organizing large-scale events, they create digital content, they host, and manage, various Competitive Edge. Stores in csgo Valerie, Etc. So a little bit of everything.

"It was October 14th 1987, an 18 month old Jessica McClure was playing in her Midland, Texas backyard. The phone rang in the house, and her mother walked in to answer it. In that brief window of time tragedy struck. Apparently, there was a small eight inch diameter abandoned well in the backyard. Somehow Iraq that was covering the opening was moved and little Jessica fell down the well. CNN heard the developing story being covered by the local news and decided to send a camera crew. Initially, the team didn't think much of the story when we got the call and said we were going, I thought, well, you know. Girl in a while, she'll probably be out by the time we get there. We just didn't realize the significance of it. When they arrived, they set up in a neighbor's backyard. They borrowed a ladder from another neighbor and set up their camera to film the scene. As for young Jessica, she appears to be doing all right considering Cameras and microphones have been dropped down. Jessica can be heard to call to her mother. She has been singing, humming and occasionally crying. The rescuers learned that Jessica was wedged 22 ft down the well. Her legs were kind of in the splits with their right foot above her head. Because of the size of the hole, it became apparent that they weren't just going to be able to reach down and pull her out. CNN's camera crew thought they'd have baby Jessica out of the well and maybe a few hours. I mean, this was oil country. People from this area knew how to drill holes. The rescuers are making progress literally by inches, and at that rate, it may be some time before young Jessica is brought to the surface. But two hours turned to four than eight and 12 as CNN was filming the unfolding drama film crews from other networks began arriving. They got a little taller ladder so they can pick over the first guys and the later guys got even taller ladders, and it was like a grandstand tear. Before you know it. There were news organizations from every corner of the world covering that story. The entire world was captivated by the rescue. As 12 hours turned to 16 24. Americans wanted to watch every second of the dire situation, but the major networks were cutting away for their regular scheduled programming. The only place to see it was on CNN, so viewers flocked to the 24 hour news network. She hasn't had anything to eat or drink for more than a day that medical personnel on the scene say they don't want anything passed down to work. Fear she'll choke. Friends and neighbors have come here offering their prayers and support for the McClure's. In Jesus' name. We pray for your health, a male a plan was devised. Rescuers would drill a hole parallel to the well about six ft. Away from the opening. And a paramedic would be dropped down where he drill sideways to the other shaft to free Jessica. But the ground near the well was made of hard rock drilling was so violent that baby Jessica's forehead that was wedged into the well split open. For the second night Floodlights have lit the backyard of this West Midland, Texas home and take care center. Eventually, the rescue crew got a break, A good Samaritan from Tennessee shipped a high pressure water drill to the site, making.

We don't want to do that when we can create more mysterious better and so he just a the way they broke out while you know how long you're from two hundred foot thousand for impract- right. Now what would that practice was or a significant evolution in thinking and that happy valley. Chart is really good. Because he's basically explaining how techie you wanna get versus your straight in it's keeping Perfect of on basically. They call it integrating the integrating engineering economics maximize happy valley is that we find. You're getting your property tax rate or the sound. it's also when you're hanging out with the second day was a Yield tax. Go on freckly and talking with the engineers awesome. Because it's something that i've experienced mind tech rear of talking with at the i'm actually sort of fracking. So their charts that they show where they talk about reduction awhile. Poss- increases in performance or nelson through these The techies just. I think it's slide thirty six starting on in these several slides israeli about. Where are you though employees. You the order in which you're fracking wells so understanding that actor wells in fact that you want them to try to go round of your refractoriness order. If you're you're aaron altering your may saying acre speeds playing in theory and these complex theoretical down pool forty speak urged that basically what the trying to act in do and that means by your really it comes to like a tight. Wells was sickening can reduce that these not three to pitch other. The timing of these are getting facing right. You're gonna more output not for six this lots of old now. Not cracking too much. And then fracking destroy in space interest. Just right sort of game game changing. You got right and performance. That's huge repair company. And then this wonder. I'm not sold on diverse. I knew here. G talks warmers on auditors and usage of probably heard this come up pretty significant re tova divert. He's basically you can have like new areas more outs or maybe not winning. Too far wounded neared. Where around will if you could actually works away. Doesn't weary very not quite that works out that way enough that playing around with it. So it's very to me and you know we're seeing it in showing off her actually me. And the fact was faucet radius operator. it's really does. The is the and certain on but in houston about these. These guys were using liberty liberty. Elliot's ours great one and you know. His answer was privacy as a time. The big voice. So i certainly there. That's as the reality is. Look if you're the way van. I know all right not means if the wedge of these guys pretty significant in this portion of they're looking like they're flat lining rigs. Let's just say you know the half of the guys drilling no. There is a lot of technical growth that can be with them because they're not all using liberty until services and even more so. I mean i think they're all know. Prices are high now but these guys are just getting to the scale especially the permian that they can sort of. Do this stuff. So i think from toko. There's a lot of growth throwing anything from rushing. It is born ford. You ask folks be thinking about and really oh back to thinking about like. We're on whether or not by all this to pass the single wells one thing the ability to get more out of the ground. It's definitely there. I think we're you know when you're on site and your ability to the ground is huge. Now these guys are making money. The rest of the end of the day was on these on. Move racks on. This is not a well on each topic. Next year has certainly mentioned it in the earnings call a couple times and really tried to break it out of standing simultaneously is now. I'm not talking science operations in which you can have. Our lines. Workover rigs happening on location. But i'm talking about fracking a well breaking to wells with less than two full. Frankly the whether that's one half reckless whether that's one whether that's one point seven you know it's less menu field or less less than the actual threat groups. It typically less equipment said you need double date and at least for my understanding. And i think chris kind of tease this out into the playback of the people may be hyping this up and so it's quite one doing to two once. He was saying it has been doing this for awhile right. liberty has been doing. Sarah axiom to once which in and of itself gives you a massive but if you think about it from respective of not a full practically It's one breakfast. Is the main equipment in the navy. You add you know. Maybe it's a little horse power. Maybe you know obviously you hit more standard footman an extra equipment there and those types of thinking from that perspective. You know it's still not it's not too. I know that's happening today. I know the we we do have lots of simul. fracking happening. Not just in the premium but also in the which means you know. We may not be counting the frankly whites and that's important because you know people saying we have two hundred twenty While artist two hundred twenty frankly. It's our weekly dedicated. We other than we know that they're not really busy. We also note. Liberty did a great job in their investor. Day explaining to folks. You make money and you make money by every minute cracking. And so you wanna be tracking all the time you do now in downtown. He won't be fracking. Twenty four. seven is your idol. You're making money. Well that's a problem because we know those two hundred frankly out. There are not fully consistent right. We know in this business of Like i know is that operators will have a dedicated for for for a little while but then they'll say no. We don't want this the way two months bring it on and this is ben congress. Post covid weird lumping that we don't see so that's pretty meaning that if we're also having this simultaneous operations whether it's whether it's to practice or something in between it means that we're probably not counting place rights And it means that we probably need more efficient in the space and that you know some suffered way are probably better than others. And i just think it's very much notice. Rates mentioned it with internet and i was before for your own analysis of that near the dot com boom in internet. We had a lot of companies that have internet did not die.

Look at the moment you get excited about prices. People started building it. Up is the moment that prices come back down. So it's just one of those things so just as long as you're comfortable that two three four dollar window and drizzly it's really you know how. How can you get on the water. And how cheap can you get it to asia. And that's the story you know in their moments that you can make good money with that. But i think that's really important. I i kinda like ellen g and gas very much like the service sector which will get into shortly that look. It's the current standard market. We have today is probably not exactly how it's gonna look in the future. But i damn sure believe that it's gonna be there. I'm not concerned that we aren't going to be producing gas or exporting beyond g but probably the exact structure. We're doing it today. How financing in these. Things might be a little bit different in future. Probably needs to be to make money. But it's definitely something. I would bet on goodwill are. Don't wanna get into too much now but would like to shut up to ring james who has been talking about a very bullish appropriate visas of potential supply. An crutch. I think that these successive legs in would would encourage people to take a look propane market in jails and investments centered upon the rav. So we on average expert about a million barrels today remain on properties on weekend. We will owen all propane Seles move now to your field trips in midland texas where you had a lot of interests on unladen when you posted what your trip to midland. And i'm not surprised you get a lot of tracks on midland in a linked it to be on a split some. Tell us about the trip while it was special in more. Portly what you learned that. Help shimmy energy. yeah. I mean well you know. I am a to nerd. So i wanna to be there. I wanna see it A boatswain Say that i have not been to the permian. I'm okay saying that. Admitting it because i have you know literally you know. My dad had been detect worked in texas until he works. He worked for us for a little while a couple years ago. He hasn't been there because he chased the oil booms around where we grow up. So he rifle around rifle in the nineteen nineties methane in wyoming early mid to early two thousand. And then obviously the balkan you know into us when everything crazy so on. This was my first trip to midland. I was actually visiting client end. We just sorta were driving out in the field and taking looks thanks. It was funny. Because i the first thing you notice like you you i've flown into bahrain. Arias very tiny little country and it's basically a whole Failed and i felt like that's midland flying into midland and the cool part is worth ridiculously expensive united flight justifying midland and see all the into the actual locations. You can see your true nerd in your sort of studying like outlets evolved right where these are single well pads and now you're you're getting to the point where i think it was a former. Rsvp 'field that we were driving by looking at and you can see where the pump jacks are massively consolidated as opposed to what you see when you fly in everything sort of separate so flying in was just awesome. But then you get to the airport. It is the midland international airport. So that is the international. So you see plenty of private planes that it is busy. One one question about when is always a trip to the permian ago once a year. And i always thought about the private just jet park just going to say. Yeah the first thing. I knows that. I'm looking everything you know when i see stuff and i was looking at airports on that i noticed first thing to my right in the window was the private jet sitting there And then i also notice. Even when i went to dinner of know some foreign voices you know some foreign accents unto mir paean accent since the middle eastern accents that harare clearly had probably flown private jets on the guy. The guy had even said you know. I'm exhau- was up. Might twenty four hour flight or whatever and he's midland which means they're they're making deals so that's really real so i noticed that for sure enough their purchased busy so this is quite thing that the traffic in and out of midland actually. The suffering midland was quite as busy in some brexit See them quite busy. But what the flight was full after It expensive that's absolutely so great finance. That united jacking up prices. Everything about flight was packed. And it's been on these tiny planes in quite a while. Because it's i would be on the in our code and everything work by so the tiny blames it. It's really funny. 'cause you're like yet three women on the plane Everybody up mostly male engineers flying into midland from north dakota in denver and me sitting in by the window. Infra clam tiny but like these guys having trouble Normal sized guys just having trouble news tiny seats and i think it really excited when they're sat next to somebody who's not Next to them that actually have some room with arm. Sex sister tricia. Even if you weren't pretty. And i got on a southwest led a try to sit next to you. You only take up this much. Exceed snuggling sitting so tinier also hung operationally. Anythere everybody talking. I mean you're hearing everybody talking. Airport plane was delayed so her plenty of that. And then you know the traffic in and out. So i did see a quite a liberty filter restricts you know at the mid linear reporting folks up so you just you can literally see the activity from airport and then driving outs. I think that's when i say it's like araine in. it's like you're immediately seen pump. Jacks are right there. I mean the moment you're on edge town is is pumped everywhere so i would say that. They are equally as close to houses as the ones we see in the denver basin here in colorado. You something but also say it's it's extremely expensive. So there's definitely a price premium to this talent midland That you know when. I was in richmond texas visiting aids like those prices were beyond reasonable and midland. Is like you've flown into. I say Prices higher than denver in some cases so really expensive hotels expensive in deflate. There's plenty spaces open know in hotel. So there's just kind of this premium. But i think the big takeaways for you know actually seeing some sand mines and i do think you know. We'll talk about the liberty safe. Because i was able to ask chris straight about it but i think the actual the san mind trajectory. You have busy things like the four hundred seventy towed rigs so we're not the level we were you know when things were crazy Know twenty nineteen. And so we're not we're not you know the pre code levels and so i didn't expect to see this. You know every sand mine going gangbusters. But i think that's the interesting thing is the service sector is that you still have a lot of entities in that are not fully utilized and then something like san mine so we drove by a couple of mines. That is so. let's digress. There just quickly. Because i'm sure there are some people who haven't sold the change in how.

"The end of the day. You can bank on. At least three million barrels as progressing. I am not worried about spirit capacity And then i think and then we also know that you know this whole wrong thing is that iran has added a million barrels a day of production in the end of last year to now so they did the also sanctions also increasing the uranium enrichment. So they can probably add another million barrels day back relatively quickly but there are bringing these barrels back and i do think the you only concern for opec really you know for the saudis control is that everybody wants to bring barrels back. You know they're gonna wanna increase this How long can they sorta keep this in. It seems like they have been able to keep decent continuity during their monthly meetings. And also just because it's work or prices rob so people seem happy now on the us side. I cautioned this. Because i think it's where people point the us and then they say okay that's where we're have shortfall of investment in. Certainly if you're looking at shell and you're looking at Exxon and you're looking at chevron you're looking at what their shareholders observe the near the desk court ruling. What's happened with exxon chevron respective. i would. i don't think you can hold those in your portfolio anymore whether you're a generalist or whether you're a you know you're managing a portfolio and you say i want some oil in that. I don't know if this are the best stocks anymore. Because i don't think the represented so those guys are probably not indicative of everything but if you break out the recount Over half her private companies and that recount. We're it also. Just were born in seventy rigs. According to make your total now in various will say we have more which is important Take that into account of foreign seventy total as the eighteenth of june. Now three hundred. Seventy three of those rigs were oil ninety seven of them. Yes if we rewind this to beginning of april april. Third twenty twenty. We had three hundred and seventy-eight oil rigs and we had a foreign sixty five total so we are back to where we were in april and look they're continuing to go higher and you can't you know looking at. The recount is not a perfect indication of production. And there's a lot of nuances for side and everything but it's important that the recap can't keep going up production just gonna flat stay flat. That's not going to happen and to really interesting is when the privates are the ones that are driving. That can growth. They are the drill. Baby drill folks okay. They are the ones that are gonna drill. Complete those wells and bring on production. So lewis. look it's a whole different world for these privates in and everything in the thing hot and the money is good. You know they don't have the Have lots of different types of constraints on the right now. Everybody's making money unless they're not they're spending really really poorly and you don't have the service cost inflation just yet that we'd had before so now is the time if you're absolute public or private. You should be going gangbusters. So i think that that's That will hit the market. You know we. We certainly aren't to see the us eleven million barrels per day you don't exiting meter so i just cautioned a are. We gonna be back with thirteen million barrels a day no way but are we are we declining and are we pegase gotten a wrong before. I'm just saying hundred or two hundred thousand barrels a day higher. Thank you know. Yeah those around us on a ton of crude. It's not like we're still largest oil producer in the entire world by far i will note that you know russia's ten point seven five million barrels per day in that doesn't include. I believe that basically the liquids. I think if more on top of that with condensate so look russia may not want prices. Get too hot either. So they're hold other piece of this of trying to eke out production so just this whole shortfall of investment bankers will watch shows me. What's the nobody has been you know the. Us shell producers is certainly has not been heiki slowdown vokes seventy three wti Chance in you know if you're even if you're a public the thing you're managing is espn investor pressure. All that crap but your private you it. You're not sitting idle so it seems like the natural outcome here would be more of a companies dying or private companies like we saw the double eagle transaction. Where if you got other companies that are flat maybe moderately growing. You got a company's going gangbusters building up these peop- basis with aggressive drilling that naturally that if you need growth as a public company you buy these guys. You can as a public company. So if you think you're if that's favorable frankly you should Is you're better for your private. You just you don't have all this pressure you can actually actually produce oil and gas that the market is is demanding. You're producing it. So i mean it is shall making the comments you know. We probably dig into that deeper in a letter. Podcast show making you know having the whole dutch court ruling at peeling and but then making the comments. Hey you know thinking that they may consider exiting the permian. of course. there's a lot of folks public to those. It's huge now. And that makes you know the world. The sorta come to a reckoning. Ep is saying they're going to divest or or or something with their amalia field in iraq. Iraq's freaking out right now because bp's a huge Has a massive position actually in the middle east across the board so whether or not they put that into a company in the not putting that in their missions i can. We know that when they the hill. The hill for the assets in alaska. When are we know that there's youtube missions. Probably increase in those are no longer disclose private company. That's one hundred percent. Going to be the case especially in iraq because lot of gas is flared and so i mean we know that from just a juicy missiles perfect but probably from a methane in planning in everything we know that that's probably can increase as they divest assets. So i really think you know if they're being true stewards. They need to take this into consideration. But they're just so much pressure think from itchy side and now we will definitely not on this. Podcast was happening within. Sec an what you know the the pressure on thinking about you know way. We're going to regulate these companies especially all companies to have these missions. That's gonna get really messy very very tricky fast And but this is a component of that. I mean we don't even right now. Don't even have full. Disclosure from oil and gas companies on exactly what emissions are go to a lower emission fuel notre. Gus sumer of natural gas three dollars. Thirty four cents as podcast today. Pretty fantastic result after years of really anemic gas prices. You know the the marcellus particularly with to delay in a girly type line looks to export constrain at some point. You know we've got to a new poll cease arriving on the the eagle ford and the hanes over because of proximity dale and markets What do you think gasol ending rates.

You can certainly headshot but i mean the market location as those used as a reason. Why has a at you know the reason why they have driftwood in the ovaries. Why folks want to have exposure to the hanes. Bill anders reason. Why use begun eldorado. Which is an extension of their eagle. Eagle asset is that it's close to market. You don't have these infrastructure constraints. You're not worried about the marcellus. Great from marching perspective. You're gonna be capped out at you have to be fda probably less now.

There's so many I mean I've been playing fevers such a long time ever since the World Cup 1998. I would say be for 17 honestly for several reasons. I like the gameplay and I also like that fever because that's what everything sort of started right on so, I mean not not to say that the other FIFA's aren't as good. Let's be very clear about that. Right? Yeah for sure. There's several pieces that I really do like it was a tough decision. I mean it took a while to think of all the FIFA's I mean 16-15 was a really really good. The thing is though. I mean FIFA changes every single FIFA some people don't believe this but it really does change. Whole lot in terms of the gameplay mechanics what works what doesn't work the way the players move just so many little details that ultimately change the game. So, yeah, it's just it's just interesting people like certain FIFA's While others don't like some FIFA's well forgetting about fever first second, right? You actually were pursuing a career as a professional footballer write soccer player, You literally sustained an injury that stopped you from playing for not stopping employment is kind of stunted that that career path for you a little bit more and So you you're recovering your your home away from from actual soccer for a bit and you start picking up FIFA more and more and that leads you down this path towards becoming I mean what you are now, you're just awesome see from the optional Caster.

"Today we are talking to john. Stein voice network. If you have not heard of his organization you need to check it out. And that's what we're talking about primarily today so welcome to the santa marketing. John thank you so much opportunity. Go hey introduce yourself your background. And how open. Voice came about led to stein based on portland oregon and background. I in retail and then in technology if the past twenty years first intel corporation and cisco systems that backed in a while. I was at until i'm at a coffee shop near the campus of mit about four years ago. The more than four years ago in sitting down with some friends and professors at mit. And we were. I thought heavens we were in boston. Nitsa summer we talk about the red sox or we talk about the weather or something in one of them. Raise the question. What do you think would be the technology that most might reshape the relationship between consumers and patients and clients constituents individuals and the various organizations that work with on a daily basis. Peter retailer healthcare provider financial services institution. What technology is going to be most important between individuals in those organizations. Will you ask that question. And twenty six tino put ourselves in the way back machine and you think oh my goodness what are. The technologies do your. Everyone is talking about well. Of course you talk about a You talk about m. l. You talk about a rv. Are i o t blockchain etc. You know all the usual suspects and it came around. And i said well. This voice thing is voice assistant thing in what it might mean to the day to day relationship say between a shopper at a brand between a patient and a provider in just the ease in ability to ask questions say yes replenishing order order. Your your your prescriptions. Do whatever but all of a sudden the presence of a kind of persona of a brand new. We're talk one voice in marketing year. The persona of a brand with you all the time listening to you speaking to you responding to with a that led to research that led conversations and that led to a big question which was if we think this is all going to be so exciting and tremendous and transformational. What would it take. What must be true in order for that to happen. And it's from that question. The open voice network then began to emerge very cool. So you like your background was in retailing. All these different companies. You're with your title kinds of things. Were you in technology. At the time. I was no evanson in the retail. Business i was head of sales for a womenswear apparel company on the new. Your working with major department stores. I was worried about skirt length than thread. Count and how the line would come together Which then led me into them jumped technology and had responsibility i it until then at cisco for marketing and sales to the retail and consumer goods industry. How do you use technology to not just do technology. But how do you use technology to draw. Pnl value top line midland audio creative agencies. How do you win more in terms of using retailers example. How do you create more traffic. Raise the conversion rate. Raise the average basket size using technology and it was applying what i knew about processing people and adding in the technology. That's what i did for a number of years. Did the globally working around the world lot of frequent flyer miles and all that led to open. No you definitely were just the right person because you had that consumer mentality you worked with the consumer all the time in new that It's not just about the statistic. There has to be some kind of engagement. Some usability for people like you know the the tech you can get crazy unhappy about it all day long. But if you're not communicating to the the actual consumer that you want to consume it it's null and void so that's that's a fascinating angle that you had will. You're absolutely right you just absolutely right that it has to start with the user. It has to start with the individual who's using technology. You know. I was back in the retail days than retail technology. Days talking about such things as we don't was a big idea. Let's put a back in the days of tablets. Where the hottest thing. Let's stick a tablet on a shopping cart and by golly then we can you know just tap away in shop away an inter things in have prices and everything right there in our shopping cart from a technology perspective very exciting. It involves wi fi in goals. Computer chips you can sell. A lot of technology can sell the idea. Well no one really asked. Have you ever put a child in the seat of tablet the equipped shopping cart thing you know. And what about Excuse me but any of you. Who are developing this Are any of you happen to be women with children in stores all the time here. I hate shopping. That's why i want you know what. Wait a minute timeout. It has to be the user the consumer at the center of this and we have talked from the start of the open voice network. When you think about the future of voice we can talk about our from a technology perspective. We can talk about it from a platform perspective. Weekend you know. What's the latest coming from the great great technology companies. The issue is from the user perspective from the individual who's using voice from the marketers who are using voice in their companies from the confirm the enterprise decision makers who want to use voice not as a toy for entertainment but as a tool for efficiency top line mid line operational whatever for transforming improving celebrating business results when we begin to approach voice from the user's perspective our perspective begins to change dramatically and again that's one of the things that really led to the formation. The open voice now. Would you say that will be the number one mission of your organization. We say that we use this phrase and it's can we make voice worthy of a users trust. That's a loaded phrase. Can we make Worthy the users crust can user trust voice on topics like did use on. Privacy can a enterprise zero marketer. You want to reach all your customers well right now. There's not really interoperability invoiced. So you need to do it for this platform this platform this platform this platform. And if someone's on another platform you're not gonna reach.

I guess for agreement comeback. We've had a few of these kinds of who issues in a few weeks and it's frustrating. You know we we get by right. So i guess to kick off with. I think the for context. When i came across your personal story and your father story specifically I was quite alarmed. The fact that this was like going back a few years. But i was alarmed at the fact that i hadn't come across it sooner. It wasn't more prominent in the kind of mainstream And there wasn't talk of this reference of this as a particular case of anti muslim terrorism that had taken place on uk soil. And i think what's again quite alarming is that i only stumbled across it because i was kind of researching and i was trying to prove a point in an article or something that was putting together and i saw this and then i kind of went down the rabbit hole of finding out more and it was just astonishing that i there was no prominence to this so i guess i assumed that a lot of people. Listen this may not have come across yourself or your father story. So would you be able to very briefly. Kind of recap what happened. And how your family's life change in two thousand and thirteen yes of course On the twenty. Nine april twenty thirteen. That's is going to a eight years This year My father mohammed. Salim was eighty two years old at the time and he praised at the local moisture which is green mustard which is at the end of our street.

My uncle had some relatives so he basically said oh. I have to go home with you. Go don't worry i'll walk. You know because he's just not far as just at the end of our road and On this night my phone was followed home and know on the cc tv at one who lives on a street. Not many people will have double glazing. They can hear dot because he's not normally walking in the middle of the road because he's a quiet coup de sac area on these guys walking steak and he's normally hitting a code cannell something on the street and this particular night you can notice on the tv's walking quite fast. And then he crosses over the road to the school gate and he was basically funded home By a neo. Nazi called pablo up shane. Who'd only been in the country for five days and who got british sponsorship. He shook behind. Firstly of the british ambassador. In ukraine then go sponsorships small eve the predominantly muslim area and lived on the premises of dell com-. He followed my father home and this nine stabbed him to death from behind And then he went on a three month bombing campaign air and bombs side now bombed that saw three mosques in also over rampton tipton. This was one of the biggest oxyde terrorism on uk. So yet today your board explained now. Many people have heard the media have played down you know. At the time you know a doug's stanford they.

That's how reporting west midlands. Police were the way they treated us. than they were suspects united muslim household when doing source. You know when you'll pay no respects. Men and women are segregated. They had a male Family liaison officer. Googly is just standing there staring. All of us are looking at us. Like it was us and i do understand. The case is quite high number cases where certain cases off family related. When this particular circumstances they weren't and we made that playoffs and Yeah we had a very challenging time with west midlands police and yeah. We went back to taking complaints seriously. And prior to this six months earlier die My brothers jim who's got jim. Montcalm derided was receiving frightening letters from the house. If you don't close your terrorist jim. Because predominant muslims go there You just wait. What would happen and a lot of these letters. Were going out in the area. We showed those to the place. Could it be linked. But they didn't take any seriously and then six months later for the was murdered and this neo nazi was known neo nazi in ukraine. He's dip retort which add and again.

"Was just another day. Another crossing for alvin kid and his smuggling partner. Tim burson so we had brought to people from the town of ukiah and put them in a motel in midland on the ten there. At that time you could go across the river. There was a both there. If you're a college kid you could take a boat and go in and go have a beer and restaurant and then come back. No problem passing back and forth. The journey hadn't been easy the night before elden and tim had met their clients. Eighteen in total mbookie. Yes mahyco they then guided them on a three hour hike to the rio grande rover once. They're they waited across undercover of in camped out until morning. Once across they ran their reliable decoy scheme utilizing to vans one. That looked like a smuggler's fan which acted as a decoy and another that appeared to be a legitimate tour van inside which their clients would nervously ride into their new lives. It been working flawlessly for over a year as the old saying goes. If it ain't broke don't fix it as usual. They didn't encounter any resistance. It was smooth sailing all the way to the motel outside midland. Odessa called the fern. It was big giant pool. And we'd been swimming and they were all showed up and had a new client close on. We're gonna make sure. They had plenty of food. They they're taking care of and lot of times. We buy them socks and shoes so they had new socks and shoes on so they want us to flag for anybody. Who's looking for signs of passing the people. The final step was transport their clients from the motel and midland to the nearby airport or with false identification. They would board a flight to some other. American frontier were their new lives would officially begin. There's something so satisfying about a simple plan. Well executed about knowing every motel vending machine or local fast food joint every highway exit sign knowing every single detail by heart. Elton was no longer changing it. Up for every run had gotten too risky and the tried and true methods. Were still getting the job done. But there's risk in repetition. Eldon and tim didn't know it yet. But the gnarled hands of destiny were closing around them. Yes this trip would be different than the others very different indeed because this one would be their last.

How 'Bout Dem Apple Seeds
"Okay thomas we are talking about apple's today. Why don't you tell our listeners. Even got started down this weird little apple path so a few weeks ago i saw video of a dude eating apple from the bottom. And you know. I it up to the pitch me and at the time all i wanted to find out from the team was whom amongst us was with me in eating the entire. It was just way to start to get the conversation going. Yeah i remember. And i was horrified to find out so many members of our team eat the whole apple. We were pretty divided down the middle. Yeah that's right and the discussion led to the possible dangers of eating the apple seeds. Some of us had heard they might be toxic. Some of us hadn't so here we are chatting away about them apples and the science behind whether or not you can eat the core why we are here. Today is pretty cool. Yeah totally and i found a food. Scientists to help explain it all could also My name is islami outs. For last shoddy. I am senior lecturer in the department of food. Science outsider jackets ally investment technology. Islamia is a few scientists beast in nigeria and she told me on the one hand apples. Are these magical fruits. That are really nutritious. And good for you apple's Poplar fruits us are reaching nutrients such as anti oxidants minera house vitamese dietary fiber is an auditor nutrients but their seats are different than their flesh. Yeah exactly what i'd always heard. Is that apple. Seeds have like some amount of cyanide in them you know like generally not something that is good for humans i mean yes and no i asked islam yacht to explain it and it's a little more complicated seeds that is in the center of harpool copy above causing poisoning because the seed contains it compounds. That is called. I mean. I lean mick. Dolan is a compound that's found and lots of natural plants and things that humans eat such as apples but also peaches apricots and almonds. They're is a similar compound and cassava he staple in nigeria and on its own mattie in seeds a midland is usually harmless to people no concerns there but what is potentially concerning is when digestive enzymes in our bodies come in contact with the michelin and when they combine the enzyme breaks away the sugars in the dylan and leaves cyanide which could potentially lead to cyanide poisoning. What do you mean. Potentially thomas say more. Well the conditions have to be just right mattie for this to be more of a concern for starters the midland in apple seeds is encased by pretty tough outer layer in order to expose them make the land to our digestive enzymes have to chew those seeds really really. Well okay i get it and even whole eating monsters like you. Thomas are generally crushing those seeds down to a fine pace with your teeth right exactly. Mattie as much as i love that tidal more importantly though there's not enough apple seeds in one or two apples to really show in effect on our bodies the amount of cyanide that does get formed if at all our livers are pretty good at filtering out those hawks

Today president elect joe biden said this the trump administration's plan is to be vaccines is falling behind far behind. We're grateful to the companies. The doctors scientists researchers clinical trial participants in operation warp speed for developing the vaccines quickly. But as i long feared warrant the effort to distributed administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should and the pace of action. the vaccination program is moving. Now as if you continue to move is now. It's going to take years not months to vaccinate the american people. It could take years for you to get the vaccine. Dr richard bates used to deliver now. He delivers vaccines. The mid michigan medical center in midland michigan had the foresight to buy ultra-cold freezers for storing vaccine months ago when the earlier reports on the development of the vaccine indicated extreme refrigeration might be necessary especially in storing the pfizer vaccine and so the mid michigan medical center received early deliveries of the vaccine because they were capable of storing it correctly. Dr richard bates puts a refrigerated cooler in his honda pickup truck and drives it free hours north to michigan's most geographically isolated hospital in alpena dr daniel maxwell at the small hospital in alpena told the washington post. We're not getting at six months after detroit or new york or san francisco. We're getting it at the same time to me into our community. That's a really important message

Rio moved. incon- eight without particular thing and from that particular grassroots point. Using whatever it is that we do the technicalities which everybody's jonah anyway. Things like sessions blondes. But he stopped particular emphasis on. We've got to embrace it as as our own. it's all very well being saudi. Now kind of nice clean education offices or whatever it is but it's for notification is is. It's all about bhavan the people out there. Where amasses creating that connective conductivity with young people and their families and then the professional proximity to the den gives gives us an indication that what it is that will take for repair every so often often what he takes us a really kind hearts open mind aunt And a comfortable shoulder. Really official in plano so Yes breath of fresh air which also a movement of like minded professionals from the these as from from from this sometimes over this coach for all the way through to the south coast catch to brighton to cluster to you know so and everywhere else in between is fascinating and it is taking shape. It's it's it's running it's rainy. It's running wild all we need to do is to run with it. control it. So i'd said how long has not been in existence diego. Give us a sense of this cut. So i started no jr education out of particular frustration with the way that we will look in after the most vulnerable. So let me rephrase it. I i starts notification about five years ago and i was a single practitioner. Those make and i saw that. I had a bit of a knack to engaging with those couldn't necessarily engage with anybody else. I didn't know what it was about my practice. That was effective. Now do with help of others. We've unpack no just my just but what it is about the informed my practice it previous experiences and so when offered our networks this boy and middlesbrough five years ago. It's called him. Bob for now. And bob was was was described. Ferrell on and nobody can engage in from thirteen minutes before he is potentially dangerous to suffer this He before he got the had previously harmed quite substantially in animal pet from the Foster parents that lived with the poor dog at his is one of his legs amputated. Is we re all tall environment. So when you when you met with our kind of description you expect that kind of behavior you don't you had to put myself in any shoes and thinking. actually what's the story. The story daddy's boy who observed high levels of violence at home from from day one. It was the only child three. Who's taken out of was taken into care it'd been three different guy placements Exposed to all kinds of caribbean sexual events. Aunt child that needs to be to us to have to fight his sister for a biscuit which was a form of entertainment for darden and as friends towards the two of them fight. Anyway i saw. That isn't so the boy whose federal and nobody can engage with us. That's not the boy that i'm thinking about. I'm thinking about the boards that is broken and craving has not known love yet of potentially is not had fun of free play or whatever it is autonomy not process or actually states is boy gets is one. It's a really low on the main on states but when you pass around like you do as a child and of course for the sake of safety sometimes within limit within the limits of human capacity in patients of course people can't send me something but for that boy it was it was hard life was life wasn't worth living

UK government under pressure for COVID-19 strategy
"Emergency covid downs across the north of England to put the division between Westminster and the rest made Steph into shot relief. Mass journalists voters across the North voicing their anger being dictated to as city leaders discovered happening towns through front pages, twitter blogs. According to Lisa Nanday, the government doesn't even know where weakness and a new report by End Child poverty was just came out says that even before the pandemic child poverty was rocketing in the north and Midlands eight of the ten. Hardest hit areas is England less the union fracturing. Alex Scotland Wales Northern Ireland each have their own approaches to covert the government is trying to centralize control of England even though English, cities and regions were desperate for the more path more local strategies has that approach failed? Is it going to have to be more more regional? I think I don't think it's a one ONS official question. For instance, when it comes to things like testing trays I, think to have a national overarching. Sort of strategy is a disaster because obviously local people will know how to do that better. But when it comes to for instance. You know. Contagion rules. I think collaboratively in simplicity of the message is so key to their success that having a sort of different set of rules complicated rules depending on one postcode or another I think that will fall down I. I can't see that looking. I'm Scott this perceived as doing much better than England, and Cave in Wales to the extent. Are. They really doing better. Do they just have? To they have better messaging that Nicholas Sturgeon is just somebody is more trustworthy Boris Johnson. Better messaging is part of doing better. Possibly one of the key banks. I had to look at a fairly comprehensive study by the Center for Constitutional Change that looked at the totality of what we loosely termed as the first wave and found a covert destroyed trajectories peaked sooner in both Scotland and Wales and came down foster. So one could say that national OAKTON, which came too late for England came even more disastrously nights from Scotland and Wales. But death rates were significantly above national average for England and consistently. Wales and Scotland so I, think yes they have objectively done better. I had Frank Cultural Boys on the Today program saying he actually missed springs national lockdown lockdown gold because the whole country was in the same boat. Matt downs are driven by local infection rates but they all currently in the north I'm is this crisis sort of making the relationship between national local government, the north and the south worse or at least more more strained yeah. Undoubtedly I mean he's also contains enormous opportunities in some ways for Metro Mas- in the North it's interesting that you've seen. You've seen the London Meh. Saudi con his authority has really diminished because he's been basically take files funding in which he greatly depends is being held. So tightly in could be manipulated so much by central government that he doesn't have as much leeway as he used to. Conversely in the north, they know that they can They can basically demand certain things in exchange for cooperation about Kobe measures. So this puts the whole metro messing I mean previously, they were seen as you know, a Nice Democrat Nice Democratic Nice to have but not something that had genuine power, and now of course, because of covid they do it's also worth. Mentioning that Johnson himself has no real idea think of how to hold north-and-south together. If you read his conference speech last week, the only mention of the North was north London in the context of a cultural jibe, the only mention of Scotland and Wales where in the context of wind, power. he really doesn't think about this stuff any session he hasn't given any attention to how to negotiate this new difficult and fragile relationship a rope, the prominence of some of these regional mez Andy Burnham Steve. Rotherham. that. Make the case for a larger. Merrill based system in this country when you labor introduced mayors lately took on in some places and then and then Nelson others. But you think they'll be more appetite for these figures. I mean it's it's it's hard to say because there wasn't a great dealer appetite for them when they were introduced I suspect because of their dynamics that was thought to see here the sort of purchase pull dynamics with the man's the big regional setting themselves up as defenders of particular cities or city regions against the hostile government. That's a great dynamic building, your legitimacy with voices building a profile, and it may well be the other places. Look at this and think well, I'd rather like to have an undefined and in my case, my sanity or Steve Rotherham because at the Reimann way rose again knocks I've by government, but there's no one in our corner as I think he could. Well. Stimulate that kind of demand the difficulty is no everywhere has like an obvious relation sensitive build a city region around. So I wonder what will happen for the places you know those rather I was towns That was so crucial in the twenty nine election How would this kind of system worked for them?
5 Minutes in Church History
Trouble Church Browne
"On this episode five minutes in Church history, we are talking about Robert Brown he was an English separatist t was born in fifteen fifty and he died in sixteen thirty three. But we've titled This episode Trouble Church Round because that's what he was known as by those who didn't agree with him and those that he tangled with throughout his life. So I'm sure you're intrigued. Let's jump right in he studied at. Cambridge. University and there he fully aligned himself with the puritans he came under a puritan influence. And he sided with the puritans against the Elizabethan forces in the church, of England at that time. Now, the puritans at that moment were attempting to reform the church from within and Robert Brown was part of that movement but by the end of the fifteen seventy. So he began to realize where he decided that that was not the right path to take, and so he gave up on that attempt to reform from within and he decided to separate in fifteen eighty one he is credited as founding what would be the first congregational church. He was the first to officially secede, and we need to realize that he's about thirty years old at this time as he's doing this. Well, he was arrested, but he was very quickly released and within a few months he left for the Netherlands. There in fifteen, eighty, two married he married Alice Allen and together they had nine children she died in sixteen ten. But he married her back in fifteen eighty to fifteen, eighty three. He wrote his book by this title, a treatise of reformation without tearing for any and of the wickedness. which will not reform till the magistrate. Command or compel them. In this book which is really small tract actually he puts forward the notion of the separation of church and state. He believes that the church is not ruled by the monarch by Civil Magistrate, but the church is ultimately ruled over by Christ himself and churches. A Matter Church membership is a matter of private conscience and not a public mandate were law enforced by the magistrate. The Queen was over the civil life and over the magistrate, but the church separate from that, and so this is a very important book in the history of ideas, very important book and political philosophy and in the history of the church. And the first paragraph Robert Trouble Church Brown says it is marvelled an often talked of among many why we should be so reviled and so troubled many and also leave our country we talking there about himself and his fellow dissenters and how they had to leave their country. He continues for Suth say the enemies there is some hidden sing in them more than plainly appear with for they bear evil will to their Queen Elizabeth into their country. They, forsake the Church of God and condemn the same and are condemned of all the also discredit and bring into contempt the preachers of the Gospel in other words these dissenters are something wrong with them. They're against the Queen there against the Church of England, and to that Robert Brown says, we say that they are the men which trouble Israel, these preachers in the Anglican Church. They seek evil to the Prince and not we. And that they forsake in condemn the church and not we. Well, that was Robert. Brown in fifteen, eighty three but in fifteen, eighty five, he decided to go back into the Church of England. So after about five years and after his book which caused many ripples in England he went back into the Anglican Church he wasn't a total conformist however, and he often clashed with the church and its leadership has said that he was arrested thirty two times over the course of his ministry for his views. He did end up in the East Midlands in a small little village Thorpe H. He was there from fifteen ninety one until his death in sixteen, thirty, his followers, the Brown lists you might have heard of them made their way onto the mayflower and cross the Atlantic. Well, that's trouble church. Robert. Brown the English separatists I'm Steve Nicholson. Thanks for listening in five minutes churches.

This is truly a beautiful beautiful beautiful location guys. It's known for its beaches. It's mountains, it's Jose Jimenez that are full the wildlife. It's definitely a must-visit location. If you need a place to stay well, why not look into the office in Nottingham Road Hotel just on Old Main Road legend has it that there have been establishments on this site since 1851. Before that's a long time. There was a not he's in or Tavern situated here that provided a hang out spot for soldiers who were stationed at nearby Fort Nottingham. The soldiers they were brought in for one mission in particular and that was to protect the local farmers from the thieving Bushman who were coming around and stealing their livestock. Apparently it become a real problem in these men did absolutely whatever they could to put an end to it. The overall location at this establishment, but it was ideal. It was actually able to cater to the mini horse-drawn carriages that passed through the area. This was a long before way would even be thought about the First Recording. Thanks about the hotel. We know today indicate that the land for the noughties as locals like to affectionately call. It was bought by a George Irwin around 1889 following the deaths of landowner James Ellis and his sister Jani-King the land being sold by the facts to pay off the siblings the States. What was the price received for that land a whopping sum of 125 pounds per acre. Wow. This was actually mean pretty steep for the time. My guess. It has that it had something to do with the favorable Loco. chicken I mean we have to stop and look at the fact that it's pretty much at a Crossroads where the road to the interior leads to the road that takes you straight to Fort Nottingham door window. He went on to a ranked what he called the Railway Hotel to serve the station that was built at the tiny Nottingham Road settlement. Local farmer and settler George Smith. Yes, Smith s m y bhe he writes in his diary July 12th 1882 off. The railway has it lasts commenced and there is a large staff of men on gallery busy putting a buildings in beginning the Earthworks. The station is to be just at the cross the road for Nottingham about two miles from straight turn. The railway line finally reached out to him Road at the end of 1885. The station was initially called Harrison's Camp after the contractor prior to the station's opening before being called Clark Lewis station. However, the name was changed to Nottingham Road station in 1887 as the locals decided that it was too far from karkloof to be so named previously Littleton was the last stop the real we changed the lives of the Midland settlers forever. There was a daily postal system and almost anything they needed could now be ordered from Durban or. It's Burg produce from the area could be quickly sent to the city centers for sale and travel between the coast and the interior was a matter of hours rather than weeks or days the railway also led to the development of the Midlands as a viable area for settlement that my opinion is always a great thing. The Railway Hotel was built by a mr. Morgan and was completed at the beginning of 1891 and it soon became the center of social activity at Nottingham Road. A gracious two-story building was set and rolling Lawns the hotel offered guess the Comforts of proper lighting package tennis courts and a Billiards room as well as activities such as shooting and horseback riding at the turn of the century another family took over the the last name Singleton. They would go on to run the business as they saw fit. But Nottingham Road Hotel was always the local favorite haunt weather for a social drink in the pub or for supposedly more serious matters such as meetings of the Dead Nottingham Road Farmers Association. Apparently, the farmers will often only survived home safely because they're faithful horses knew the way back to their Stables off the the system works smoothly until a prankster swapped the horses between the different traps and cards. So that drunken farmers were taken off in completely different directions often the locals would decide to stay over at the hotel especially at the weather was bad. One such farmer a Christopher groom was trying to reach the hotel to Shelter From a storm. He was unable to reach it in time and was unfortunately struck by a bolt of lightning just down side right where the first tennis courts were located in his dead horse were actually discovered some time later when the storm had passed over the bridge just man quite unaware of his narrow escape a hole was found straight through his saddle and it showed where that bolt of lightning had struck. Like all hotels or the history the Nottingham Road hotel is reputed to be haunted. Of course right in the past two guests and staff have reported that the spirit of a woman roams the hotel especially room 10:00 and it's ground this house proud gentle ghosts. Apparently. She was flower arrangements Tiny's away clothes and straightens wedding Legend has it that she is Charlotte a beautiful prostitute who frequent in the hotel catering were soldiers from the 45th regiment in the latter part of the nineteenth Century, her story says that she fell in love with a regular at the hotel a soldier a handsome man ended up having to leave Charlotte at one point to go off and fight in the Bushman Wars. Unfortunately, he was killed on the fields of battle and birth. Made it back to his beloved Charlotte upon hearing the news took to the balcony of her room and was so stricken with grief that she threw herself to her deathbed. Send story right? I'd say that so pretty it's pretty good reason to come back as a ghost. She's not the only one that lurks around in the darkness though God. Oh, no as it would turn out Charlotte. She's just the one who likes to appear the most. Today not he's is one of the Midlands more popular hotels.
