Ryder takes executive chef position at Twelve
Apr. 9—Hannah Ryder, chef de cuisine at Twelve, is taking over as executive chef for the fine dining restaurant.
Ryder will replace Colin Wyatt, Twelve's executive chef since its launch on Thames Street in 2022. Wyatt will remain involved with Twelve, but is turning his attention to the upcoming launch of Douro, the Portuguese- and Spanish-inspired venue that will be a sister restaurant to Twelve and Evo Kitchen + Bar, all properties of the Prentice Hospitality Group.
A Cumberland native, 27-year-old Ryder has previously cooked at Evo and another Prentice property, the Chebeague Island Inn. She also worked in New York City at legendary Chef Daniel Boulud's Café Boulud and at the acclaimed Scandinavian restaurant Aquavit. Ryder has been chef de cuisine at Twelve since the restaurant opened.
Ryder said in a news release that she is "honored" to step into her new role, and "incredibly grateful to Chef Colin Wyatt, whose guidance and mentorship have been instrumental in my growth and in shaping Twelve's success."
"I feel fortunate to work alongside such a talented and passionate team — one that consistently pushes the boundaries of creativity and remains deeply committed to delivering unforgettable guest experiences," Ryder added.

Grey list for Moscow: EU plans to make transactions with Russia more difficult
The European Commission is considering adding Russia to its "grey list" of countries with inadequate money laundering controls. Source: Financial Times Details: The decision could have been announced as early as this week, but the European Commission postponed its approval at the last minute for "administrative/procedural reasons". The document is expected to be updated early next week. The addition of a country onto the list entails reputational losses and additional checks by financial institutions when processing transactions related to the relevant jurisdiction. This increases costs and complicates international cooperation. Typically, the EU's grey list is based on the one compiled by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global money laundering watchdog. Although Russia's membership in the FATF was suspended a year after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a number of countries are still blocking its inclusion on the FATF list itself. The previous version of the EU list, seen by the FT, included Algeria, Angola, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, and Venezuela. The exclusions of Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, Senegal, Uganda and the UAE were also planned. However, the vote did not take place: the Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals opposed the exclusion of the UAE, and the Spanish conservatives opposed lifting oversight of Gibraltar. MEPs say that the inclusion of Russia on the list could help to pass the document as a whole. The European Parliament can only support or reject the list in its entirety, without amendments. Meanwhile, the UAE authorities say that the issue of money laundering should not affect trade negotiations with the EU, which began in May. Brussels is under pressure as the UAE has an 18-month deadline to complete the negotiations. Spain, in turn, insists on keeping Gibraltar on the "grey list" to strengthen its position in negotiations with the UK over the territory's post-Brexit status. Background: At the FATF's meeting on 21-25 October, they upheld their decision to suspend Russia's membership in the organisation. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

How Wall Street's exuberance — despite Trump's tariffs — masks major warning signs
'Either the entire street is wrong, or the good times will continue to roll.' So said a top hedge fund manager, remarking recently to On The Money about the weird disconnect he's seeing lately in how the market is pricing in Trump's trade war. What surprised him is the latest iteration of the market zig-zagging is that after freaking out, investors appear to be pricing in the Trump tariffs as a big bowl of nothing. Advertisement 4 With Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick out of the picture, investors appear to be pricing in the Trump tariffs as a big bowl of nothing. Jack Forbes / NY Post Design The recent maybe irrational exuberance comes even as Trump keeps throwing fuel on the tariff fire. After pausing them on the world, including the most draconian levies on China, which supplies the US with cheap goods and keeps our inflation rate stable, he just blurted out that he's doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum. The market didn't tank as it did during the early days of the tariff tantrum. In fact, there's green on the screen for a policy that is supposed to slow growth and/or increase inflation, according to most economists. Advertisement So, what gives? First, economists aren't making the market bets you're seeing. Asset managers, hedge funders, traders and a bunch of so-called mom-and-pop investors continue to show an appetite to buy, and digest bad news in the most favorable light. The best I can tell is that they're making a forward-looking bet that Trump, through his trusty and highly competent Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, will negotiate all of the tariffs — even against super adversaries like China — down to something either meaningless or manageable for the economy to absorb. Advertisement 4 The recent maybe irrational exuberance comes even as President Trump keeps throwing fuel on the tariff fire. AFP via Getty Images Stocks will then trend higher on his deregulation and tax policy found in the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' the thinking goes. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's MAGA-inspired dream that tariffs on foreign goods will create a domestic manufacturing utopia will never materialize, because Lutnick is largely out of the picture. Bessent has taken the reins, and he's crafting trade deals that will lead to stable economic growth, low inflation and high-tech manufacturing jobs the Trump tax and regulatory policy will create, or so the thinking goes. So, what could go wrong? A lot, according to a few smart Wall Streeters I know as they look back at recent market history and figure out when was the last time the markets defied conventional wisdom and got things so wrong before an economic storm hit. Advertisement 4 Stocks will then trend higher on his deregulation and tax policy found in the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' the thinking goes. REUTERS One big misread came in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. Every major CEO and most large investors (not all but most) viewed the 2007 'credit crunch,' where banks cut back lending as housing prices tanked, as simply a downturn in the economic cycle. A few Fed rate cuts, and presto, things would be back to normal. Recall how the Dow hit then historic highs in October 2007 (around 14K), just before the bottom fell out early the following year. It began with bond insurers imploding, then subprime lenders, then Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. By the end of September 2008, the meltdown hit nearly ever bank and Wall Street firm because the housing downturn was more than a downturn, it impaired the balance sheets of major financial institutions so much that most (except Jamie Dimon's 'fortress balance sheet' at JPMorgan) were on the verge of insolvency 4 Traders are betting Trump will negotiate tariffs down to something either meaningless or manageable for the economy to absorb. JOHN G MABANGLO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock After the financial collapse, and the government bailouts, came the Great Recession, which forever altered the political landscape. It ushered in a wave of left-wing (Barack Obama) and later right-wing populism (Donald Trump). There are plenty of structural differences between 2008 and today. Our banks are pretty sound, but we have more debt, a lot more. We are more dependent on foreign buyers of the debt, without whom interest rates would be much higher as debt payments continue to grow. Advertisement The trade war has pissed off some of our foreign bond buyers, namely Japan and China. Plus markets hate being surprised. If we're experiencing a bit of irrational exuberance before the reality of higher baseline tariffs kick in no matter what deals are cut, if the economy does begin to falter and inflation does pickup, if foreign buyers don't keep buying our debt and interest rates spike, the correction could be pretty brutal if history is any guide, traders tell On The Money. Until that happens, it's all blue skies ahead.

As Trump now knows and Doeden may learn, the governing is harder than the shake-up
Toby Doeden announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of South Dakota during an event on May 28, 2025, in Aberdeen. (Joshua Haiar/South Dakota Searchlight) And then there were two. In late May, Aberdeen businessman and political influencer Toby Doeden entered the race for the Republican nomination for governor of South Dakota. He joins state Speaker of the House Jon Hansen as the only announced candidates, so far, for the nomination. Throughout his announcement speech, and sprinkled liberally through his campaign website, are references to Doeden's support for President Donald Trump. It's hard to miss the comparisons between the president and the gubernatorial candidate. Doeden takes pride, as Trump did in his first campaign, at never having been elected to public office. Doeden, however, knows something about how to get other people elected. Through his Dakota First Action political action committee, he supported a bevy of anti-establishment Republicans who were able to unseat legislative incumbents in the last primary. While Doeden sees his lack of electoral experience as a positive, voters always run a risk when they decide to put someone in a position of power who has never been there before. In his first term as president, Trump often seemed befuddled by the finer points of how the federal government works. For Doeden, promising to shake things up in Pierre is the easy part. Harder than the shaking is the governing. Doeden joins race for governor with pledge to eliminate property taxes While he's shaking things up in Pierre, Doeden has promised to cut spending from a state government budget that he sees as bloated. That made it seem odd when among his first pronouncements as a candidate was the creation of not one but two new state agencies. He has proposed to create the South Dakota Department of External Revenue to find new revenue sources for the state and the South Dakota Department of Government Efficiency, which sounds eerily like Elon Musk's DOGE. We can only hope that Doeden's version of DOGE has a lighter touch than the Trump/Musk version, which is prone to cutting government by sending in a lumberjack to do work that was best suited for a surgeon. Much of DOGE's work and Trump's attempts to shrink the federal government have ended up in court battles that haven't been winners for the president. Doeden's version of his personal history seems to play off the Trump-inspired myth that people who have made a fortune can relate to the problems and challenges faced by the rest of us. Doeden touts his hardscrabble youth, something that Trump never had, as a way to connect with voters. Yet Doeden faces the same ironic set of circumstances as Trump, touting personal success that won't make him subservient to donors all the while that his website welcomes donations. That suggests that somehow candidates like Doeden and Trump are better suited to lead us because they're rich, yet their wealth doesn't keep them from asking for our money. In his announcement, Doeden railed against career politicians, the likes of which have yet to enter the race for the Republican nomination. Widely speculated as potential candidates are Gov. Larry Rhoden, U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson and Attorney General Marty Jackley. Hansen hails from the same populist wing of the party as Doeden, which runs the risk of them splitting the primary vote from that group. It will be Doeden's challenge to get Republican voters to choose his brand of populism over Hansen's. He'll need to do that while getting them to cast aside the established leaders who have devoted their lives to building up government. To be successful, Doeden will have to convince voters that it's in their best interest to let him tear it all down. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
