In this episode of Rising Voices of Fundraising: The AFP Emerging Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Fritz, CFRE, MPNL and Muneeb Syed, CFRE, the first-ever co-chairs of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada. Amanda and Muneeb reflect on stepping into a role with no precedent, from building their own playbook to navigating moments of self-doubt along the way.

They discuss the treasury's increasingly strategic role, the practical realities of AI adoption, real-time information, communication, and how treasurers can make better-informed decisions.Drawing on 20 years covering the industry, including 15 years as a freelance journalist, Ben explains how he uncovers the stories behind treasury projects and change. His perspective connects the treasury's evolution through financial disruption with the skills, technology, and clear communication needed to address today's challenges.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow AI adoption depends on reliable source data, connected systems, and consistent information from across the business.Why treasurers need to combine technology skills with the ability to communicate clearly with colleagues outside finance.The goal of real-time treasury is access to complete, reliable information when a decision needs to be made, rather than reacting to every data change.How experienced treasurers can provide context and judgement while newer entrants challenge established ways of working.Why scenario planning is essential when macroeconomic and geopolitical disruption has become an expected part of treasury management.How defining a problem in plain language can help teams assess whether a new technology has delivered a meaningful result.Episode Breakdown with Timestamps[00:00] – Teaser[01:05] – Welcome & Introduction to Treasury Leaders with Ben Poole[04:39] – Constant Change: From GFC to COVID to Geopolitical Disruption[09:17] – Business as Usual: Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Disruption[13:15] – Real-Time Treasury: Information on Demand vs. Real-Time on Demand[19:38] – Treasury as a Career Destination, Not Just a Stop on the Tour[24:51] – What Treasurers Are Doing Well and What Makes Ben Hopeful[27:05] – One Thing: Keep Coming Back to the Problem You're Trying to Solve[27:56] – Closing Remarks and ThanksFollow Our Guest Ben Poole:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benpoole78/Follow Treasury Leaders:Website: https://corporate-treasury-101.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/treasury-leaders/Treasury 360 sign-up link:Link: https://treasury360europe.comFollow Our Hosts:Hussam Ali on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hussam-r-ali/Guillaume Jouvencel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaume-jouvencel/Jan-Willem Attevelt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/attevelt/Philip Costa Hibberd on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-costa-hibberd/GHA Marketing Website: https://ghapodcast.com/Automation Boutique Website: https://automationboutique.com/-----------------------------------------------------------------------Get $100 off any AFP product, including their CTP Exam Prep Platform, using our discount code!

A CIA record released in part in 2013 contains pages from Chan Thomas's catastrophe book, The Adam and Eve Story. The stamps are genuine. So is the contradiction on its title page: Thomas is named as author, and Emerson House of Los Angeles as publisher.This episode follows the document backward and forward through Thomas's public theory, the geological evidence that tests it, his later aerospace association, a longer public edition published before the CIA release, and AFP's 2023 effort to learn why the agency held the material.The record establishes CIA custody, not CIA authorship or scientific endorsement. Its unresolved question is narrower and more durable: who put this public book into a controlled file, for what purpose, and what did the withheld context concern?This podcast uses artificial intelligence in its research, writing, production, and narration. Episodes are editorially reviewed before publication.#TheConspiracyFilesWithPaigeCarter #DeclassifiedDocumentsGovernmentMysteriesApocalyp #ChanThomas #TheAdamAndEveStory #CatastrophicPoleShiftYES OR NO: Does the CIA's unexplained custody of Chan Thomas's public book justify continued archival investigation?????????

Según los expertos, Centroámerica será la parte más afectada por los efectos de El Niño, donde se espera que 16 millones de personas sufran inseguridad alimentaria. En América latina ya se sienten los efectos del fenómeno climático natural El Niño, especialmente, en Centroamérica, donde sus ciudadanos podrían pagar un precio muy alto por las sequias causadas por este fenómeno, dejando a un total de 16 millones de personas en la más absoluta inseguridad alimentaria, tal y como alertó la ONU en un reciente informe.  En Honduras, por ejemplo, el 80% del país ya se encuentra en alerta por la sequía, obligando a las autoridades a decretar la alerta roja en varios municipios por falta de alimentos.  El director del programa Mundial de Alimentos en Honduras, Nicolas Bidault, afirma que el impacto más visible del fenómeno del El Niño en el país se puede ver en la cosecha de los granos. "El impacto que vemos en Honduras ya es el impacto sobre la cosecha de los granos. El impacto también es un impacto sobre los ganados. Hay muchos municipios que reportaron pérdida de ganados", cuenta para los micrófonos de RFI.  Una alerta que se espera que dure al menos los próximos 6, o incluso, 8 meses, manteniendo la alerta roja en 103 municipios de Honduras. Sobre la cifra de personas que estarían en riesgo de inseguridad alemantaria, Bidault insiste en que sigue siendo incerta, ya que se trata de un fenómeno imprevisible. "No tenemos todavía la cifra. Estamos haciendo con el Gobierno un levantamiento en varios municipios para confirmarlo. Lo que sabemos es que en diciembre 2025 tenía 1.4 millones de personas en situación de inseguridad alimentaria, en agosto 2026, entonces, ocho meses después, 1.9. Entonces, un aumento de 500.000 personas en inseguridad alimentaria. No todas ellas están afectadas por la sequía aguda. Ahora estamos verificando la situación. Lo que hemos visto es que alrededor de 160.000 familias están municipios de alerta roja que no todavía no tienen asistencia". Reparto de saco de arroz y tarjetas de comida  Actualmente, el programa Mundial de Alimentos está llevando a cabo un plan de reparto de alimentos en Honduras para paliar esta situación. "Estamos entregando sacos de alimentos que tienen arroz, frijol, harina de maíz, harina de trigo, proteínas, algo bien completo y lo estamos entregando a las familias de un promedio de cinco personas. Una entrega mensual. En zonas donde hay supermercados, lo que entregamos es una tarjeta que tiene un valor equivalente a 150$. También es mensual para una familia de cinco personas". La organización, además, trabaja apoyando al gobierno mediante el Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar para garantizar la entrega de alimentos en los centros educativos a 1.2 millones de niños y niñas. Al mismo tiempo que apoyan a los pequeños productores, quienes también se han visto fuertemente afectados por El Niño. El Canal de Panamá estudia restricciones de tránsito  El canal de Panamá no descarta nuevas restricciones al tránsito de buques debido a una sequía agravada por el fenómeno de El Niño, dijo a la AFP la nueva administradora de esta ruta por donde pasa el 5% del comercio marítimo mundial. La vía interoceánica ya redujo progresivamente el límite máximo de barcos de 36 a 32 al día. Pero Ilya Espino de Marotta, quien asumió este lunes la administración del canal, afirmó en una entrevista que no descarta nuevas medidas si la sequía no remite.

De gegevens van 8,7 miljoen passagiers van een drietal Britse luchthavens zijn gelekt door cybercriminelen op het dark web. Het gaat om luchthavens die worden beheerd door de Manchester Airports Group (MAG). Het gaat onder andere om namen, emailadressen, telefoonnummers, locatiegegevens en kentekengegevens. Verder hoor je over hoe Noorwegen een verbod op slimme brillen met camera's overweegt. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens MAG heeft het datalek geen invloed op processen en blijven de getroffen luchthavens zoals normaal functioneren. Ook zou de veiligheid van passagiers niet in gevaar zijn, volgens een statement op de website van MAG. Volgens cybersecurity-onderzoekers wisten de cybercriminelen binnen te komen via gelekte API-sleutels. Daarmee konden ze toegang krijgen tot de interne systemen van de luchthavens en gegevens stelen. MAG zegt contact opgenomen te hebben met getroffen passagiers en adviseert ze om in de gaten te houden of ze verdachte emails krijgen. Noorwegen overweegt om slimme brillen met camera's te verbiedenDe Noorse overheid overweegt om slimmem brillen met camera's in het montuur te verbieden. Dat heeft de Noorse minister Karianne Tung van Digitale Zaken gezegd tegen persbureau AFP. Ze is van plan om een expertgroep bijeen te roepen zodat er advies uitgebracht kan worden over wetgeving. Of er daadwerkelijk een totaalverbod op de brillen in Noorwegen komt is nog niet duidelijk. In de eerste instantie lijkt Noorwegen bepaalde functies zoals gezichtsherkenning te willen verbieden. Slimme brillen met camera's, zoals de brillen die Meta in samenwerking met RayBan maakt, zijn al langer in opspraak. Digitale rechtenorganisaties en overheden maken zich zorgen om de privacy van mensen, omdat ze vaak zonder dat ze het door hebben gefilmd kunnen worden door gebruikers van de slimme brillen. Gegevens van miljoenen passagiers van Britse luchthavens gelekt op dark web Noorwegen gaat gebruik van slimme brillen handhaven Over de maker:Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update. Hij interesseert zich vooral in cybercriminaliteit, privacy, social media en (computer)hardware. Hier en daar kan je Niels ook in All in the Game horen, waar hij graag vertelt over zijn favoriete games. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348 In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Kevin Williams, a longtime AFP volunteer and host of the Rocky Mountain Freedom Zone podcast, to share how he has refused to let blindness keep him from pursuing his passions. Born blind, Kevin developed a fascination with radio as a child that eventually led him to earn a degree in broadcasting and begin producing his own shows. He shares how technology—from screen readers and Braille displays to smartphones and AI-powered tools—has given him greater independence and allowed him to record, edit, and produce his own podcast. Kevin also discusses his passion for politics and his decision to move from simply following the news to getting involved. He has advocated on Capitol Hill, volunteered with Americans for Prosperity, helped fight a local tax increase, and even earned recognition for making the most grassroots calls during an AFP campaign. His message is simple: whatever obstacle may be standing in your way, find the tools and training to overcome it, start small, and take your own one small step toward making a difference.

Welcome back to True Blue Conversations. Today, I'm joined by someone whose journey through the Australian Defence Force spans service, deployments, communications, international operations, and an enduring passion for defence, intelligence and geopolitics. Darwin Fermo enlisted in January 2000 as a Reservist, marching into 10th Light Horse Squadron as a Driver/Crewman before transferring to the Australian Regular Army in February 2001 as an Operator Specialist Communications Signalman. He was posted to the School of Signals, where he was completing his training when the world changed forever with the September 11 terrorist attacks. From there, Darwin was posted to Brisbane's 1st Joint Support Unit, serving with Radio Troop. His career would soon take him well beyond Australia, including a deployment to the Solomon Islands in 2003, participation in the first Talisman Sabre exercise aboard USS Boxer in 2005, and deployment to Iraq with AMTG2 later that year. He would go on to serve in Darwin with HQNORCOM, supporting Operation Resolute, while simultaneously undertaking university studies in Security, Terrorism and Counterterrorism. Darwin ultimately made the difficult decision to leave the Army in 2008, choosing to pursue his university studies full-time. But the ADF never really left him. He was offered the opportunity to re-enlist in 2018, which he declined while preparing for his wedding. Then, in 2019, he sat an Officer Selection Board for the Maritime Warfare Officer role. Despite being assessed as highly suitable, an unexpected medical classification issue prevented him from progressing. Today, Darwin continues to maintain a deep interest in the ADF, international relations, security and geopolitics. But his service didn't end when he left the Army. Darwin went on to serve as an Australian Federal Police officer, bringing together his military communications background, operational experience and passion for security and national service. In this conversation, we're going to explore Darwin's journey — from a young Reservist joining the 10th Light Horse, through the School of Signals and the post-9/11 military, to the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Talisman Sabre, and ultimately his transition from the ADF into policing and transitioning out of the AFP. We talk about the decisions that shaped his career, the opportunities he pursued, the ones that didn't work out, and what it means to continue serving in a different uniform and finding purpose again after the uniform comes off.

Se poate lansa o rețea socială globală din Europa, cu inima și echipa în România?   În cel mai recent episod din „Poiana lui Chinezu", Cristian China-Birta îl are ca invitat pe Grégoire Vigroux, antreprenor francez stabilit de 20 de ani în România și cofondator al eYou (eu.so) — o nouă rețea socială europeană gândită ca o alternativă curată la giganții Meta, X (fostul Twitter) sau TikTok. Născut din frustrarea față de manipularea algoritmică și valul de fake news din social media, proiectul își propune să redea controlul utilizatorilor. Numele rețelei vine de la „empowered YOU" (tu deții controlul, nu mogulii tech) și se bazează pe o viziune axată pe valori, nu doar pe cifre financiare. Deși scepticii ar spune că șansele de a concura cu marile platforme americane sau chinezești sunt minime, eYou demonstrează deja un potențial uriaș: în doar primele trei săptămâni de la lansare, platforma a atras peste 600 de utilizatori exclusiv organic, fără bugete de marketing sau campanii de influenceri. Una dintre funcțiile revoluționare ale aplicației este butonul integrat de fact-checking (verificare a informațiilor), dublat de secțiunea „Pulse" — un feed de știri alimentat în timp real prin parteneriate cu agențiile internaționale de presă AFP și Reuters, care livrează știri verificate adesea mult mai rapid decât marile publicații de pe glob. Pe lângă aspectele tehnice și modelul de business axat pe creștere organică înainte de monetizare, podcastul oferă și o poveste inspirațională despre dragostea de România. Grégoire explică de ce el și cofondatorul său, Jasim, deși francezi, au ales să își bazeze întreaga echipă aici, oferind un argument puternic împotriva fatalismului „mioritic". Este o discuție spumoasă despre risc, optimismul nebunesc al antreprenorilor cu ADHD și cum poate fiecare dintre noi să pună umărul la un proiect care ar putea rescrie viitorul internetului european.

Attend the 2026 Testicular Cancer Conference: https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/tcc-indianapolis-2026At just 24, personal trainer Andrejs Lejietis was building a business and living what he thought was a healthy, active life in Stockholm, Sweden — until a strange abdominal pain that kept returning after lunch led to one of the most confusing diagnoses in testicular cancer. In this episode of It Takes Balls, our first-ever Swedish guest shares a remarkable story about an extragonadal germ cell tumor: testicular cancer with no primary tumor in the testicles at all.Andrejs describes months of uncertainty as recurring pain near his aorta sent him from ultrasound to CT scan to a bone marrow biopsy, with doctors ruling out lymphoma before finally landing on a testicular cancer diagnosis. Encouraged by his girlfriend Emily to stop putting it off, he learned the value of self-advocacy the hard way — and discovered that a "good cancer to have" still hits hard when you're 24 with corporate clients lined up and a future you'd just started building.He opens up about four rounds of BEP chemotherapy at Karolinska University Hospital, an initial AFP tumor marker of 21,000, and stage 2C disease. Andrejs shares the realities of inpatient chemo, losing his hair, sperm banking and stem cell harvesting before treatment, and the unexpected gift of community — meeting other young men going through testicular cancer treatment at the same time.The conversation also covers his open RPLND (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection), a surgery Sweden has centralized to two hospitals for the best outcomes. Andrejs recounts a tumor wrapped around a vein near his left kidney, a difficult six-week recovery, neuropathy, retrograde ejaculation, and being discharged on Christmas Eve. Fourteen lymph nodes were removed — all clear.Andrejs and host Steven Crocker also dig into the Scandinavian healthcare system, where treatment, surgery, sperm banking, and even taxis to chemo are largely covered by taxes — and how testicular cancer, one of the most common cancers among young men, is treated across Europe.Now cancer-free and back to work, Andrejs reflects on how the journey reshaped his path toward becoming a physical therapist, the scar he wears with pride, and his advice for anyone newly diagnosed: take it one day at a time, stay as physically active as you can, and don't wait to get checked.Whether you're a testicular cancer patient, survivor, caregiver, or want to understand rare presentations like extragonadal germ cell tumors, Andrejs's story is a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives — and that you should never ignore symptoms that keep coming back.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

AI may be dominating the technology conversation, but delivering real value in treasury requires much more than adopting the latest tools.Felix Meyer, Treasury Technology and IS Head at ABB Capital AG, returns to the show to explore why strong data, fit-for-purpose systems, cybersecurity awareness, effective project management and specialist knowledge are all essential to successful technology transformation.Felix Meyer works as Treasury Technology and IS Head at ABB Capital AG, the in-house treasury and corporate finance centre of the ABB Group.In his role, Felix oversees key treasury applications, reviews ABB's internal technology landscape and assesses external systems and market developments to determine which solutions can deliver meaningful value within the organisation.In this updated episode, Felix explains how treasury teams can respond to rapid technological change without becoming distracted by hype.Drawing on a recent global treasury management system implementation, he discusses the importance of involving stakeholders early, selecting experienced implementation partners and setting realistic expectations around project timelines.Felix also explores the foundations required before treasury teams can take advantage of AI, including harmonised data, system resilience, traceability and appropriate backups.

What is the black fungus epidemic? Thanks for asking! Since May 2021, India has been faced with an additional epidemic on top of Covid-19. It's that of a black fungus, also known as mucormycosis. This rare infection spreads among Covid patients, first of all attacking their faces, in particular the nose, sinuses or eyes, before moving onto the brain and lungs. According to AFP, India has recorded over 45,000 black fungus cases in the last two months. That's compared to less than 20 cases per year in pre-Covid times. The real figure may be much higher and the epidemic is causing major concern, especially given the infection has a mortality rate of 50%. Why has this epidemic taken off in India? What is done to treat those infected with mucormycosis? Is the black fungus a new kind of Covid then? Has it been seen in other countries? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: ⁠What is geophony? ⁠ ⁠What is Earth Overshoot Day?⁠ ⁠What is Godwin's Law?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

Loved ones of missing people are desperate for answers, and unfortunately there are people more than happy to exploit their despair for their own gain. In part two of her conversation with Gary Jubelin, missing persons advocate and author Nicole Morris calls out clairvoyants and psychics, exposing the very real trauma caused by false hope. The pair discuss why all missing persons should be treated as homicides until proven otherwise, how dangerous assumptions made early in an investigation can derail justice and leave families without answers for years, and call for better resourcing and a national approach to missing persons investigations.

The biggest spenders in the last session are the same people that AFP is claiming are small government folks. Julie Jarvis voted to spend over $1.244 BILLION. That's BILLION with a B. Marilyn Connolly voted for $1.241 BILLION. While the conservatives averaged $28.5 MILLION. Million with a M and not a B. Spending isn't AFP's only problem.  Its biggest one is hypocrisy--especially their state director Tyler Lindholm.

Every single day, around 130 Australians on average are reported missing. For the families left behind, there are no funerals, no closure, and no answers, just an unbearable silence where a person used to be. Nicole Morris has spent over two decades refusing to let that silence win. As the founder and director of the Australian Missing Persons Register, Nicole has supported countless families through the devastating trauma of unexplained disappearance. For more than two decades, she has earned the trust of law enforcement agencies and government bodies across Australia and internationally through her relentless commitment to ensuring the missing are never forgotten. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary and Nicole break down the human cost of disappearance, what it truly means to live with an "ambiguous loss", and share the stories of families whose lives have been irrevocably changed by unanswered questions. Gary and Nicole also take a hard look at the system. Why does the first response to a missing persons report matter so much? What goes wrong when cases aren't treated with urgency? And why does the dangerous myth that you must wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing continue to cost precious time?

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What animal is the most lethal to humans?  Depending on how we define lethal, and animal, this answer is actually not straight forward.  Globally and in the U.S. the most lethal animal is humans, accounting for ~436,000 to ~20,000 deaths (homicides) per year on average respectively.  In the United States the most lethal animal is of the Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets). It accounts for approximately ~60 deaths per year from anaphylaxis. Globally the number is harder to track, but is estimated between 250–3,800 deaths globally annually.  Globally the most lethal animal is venomous snakes, accounting for between 60,000-150,000 per year (whereas in the United States this number is closer to ~5).  Mosquitos, as a vector however for the pathogens they transmit, out rank all as the most lethal globally (excluding humans).   What are the key take-aways for each insect discussed in this episode? Mosquitos: In the United States, of lesser concern. Can potentially transmit West Nile Virus in the United States. Otherwise, treatment for general mosquito bites is topical antihistamines and over the counter steroid creams.  Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets): Distributed throughout the US, and can also live in the ground.  Bees lose their stinger during a sting. Whereas wasps do not and can sting multiple times.  Typically stings are just localized for symptoms (pain and swelling) but can become anaphylactic.  Treat with IM Epinephrine as the first line. Consider bronchodilators from bronchospasms.  Multiple stings (around ~100), can cause end organ damage and rhabdomyolysis outside of just anaphylaxis alone. Require more aggressive management.  Fire Ants: Behave similar to bees (in swarm mentality), but have differing venoms. Can also cause global symptoms. Black Widow:  No deaths from Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow) recorded in the United States. There are 3 deaths globally from widow species. Two from Madagascar, and one from a Mediterranean species of widow. Debate in the toxicology community about use of the antivenom, which may account for more deaths than the bite itself.  Black Widow bites are typically painful. Which is different from bites from recluse species.   Brown Recluse:  Rare in Colorado Typically painless bite, that creates a center necrotic eschar.  Tend to also not be lethal.  Bed Bugs Typically harmless and more of a nuisance to have. Can cause localized infections.  Bite presents in a "Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" formation (i.e. linear 2-3 or more bites as the bug tracks and feeds on skin).  Will feed primarily on exposed skin. The biggest concern is ensuring no cross contamination from patient to provider or facility.  Bed bug bite delivers a small amount of local anesthetic, which can make them hard to detect.

Democrats' epic fails: Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's joint checking account with his MOM at 37, the "fail son" pattern from Graham Platner to AOC, and the new CNN poll showing just 29% of Democrats are proud to be Americans. Plus, why the Democrat midterm generic ballot lead is the weakest in decades. Then it gets WILD: inside California's $43 BILLION "gay certification" program for state contractors (yes, you read that right), Michelle Obama making Barack's presidential library all about "ME," and Amanda Seyfried hiring a bodyguard after attacking Charlie Kirk. We also welcome Ken Strang from AFP to talk America 250, the One Small Step campaign, his "Red, White & Do" project, building a guitar, and his hair metal band.
