How can technology be used in the fight against modern slavery? This week, Technology Now is exploring the impact of modern slavery and how technology can be used to try and reduce it. We ask what the scale of the problem is today, we examine what modern slavery can look like, and we discuss how organisations and consumers can work together to try and combat this practice. John Schultz, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary for HPE, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About John:https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.htmlSources https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/blog-post/2025/12/when-good-intentions-are-not-enough-the-importance-of-data-and-ai-in-solving-the-modern-slavery-epidemic.htmlhttps://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.html

We're talking travel and TSA woes on this episode of the show. Billy and Lisa share some good news about a recent trip, but also dive into the challenges of navigating airport security.

In this first episode of a new three-part series, I'm joined by Dr. Erica Howe to talk about the real power of community for high-achieving women. This conversation explores why so many professional women carry the badge of doing everything on their own—and what becomes possible when you step into a room where honesty, strategy, and shared experience replace isolation. We talk about the small conversations that can shift your perspective, why community is more than just support, and how the right environment can spark the courage to change something in your career or life. About Dr. Erica Howe Dr. Howe is a board-certified Hospitalist and a nationally known educator, wife, and mother to three crazy kids. As a prolific speaker and lifelong advocate for improved wellness in medicine, she has delivered hundreds of talks nationally and internationally on topics like conflict management and boundary setting. In 2018, she founded the Women Physicians Wellness Conference, held in Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Amelia Island, exclusively for women physicians. In 2024, she expanded this vision by founding the Women Professionals Wellness Conference, a three-day event in the Bahamas each January designed to bring women from demanding professions together to share their struggles and strategies for success. Dr. Howe believes women are stronger together and is passionate about helping them find the courage, clarity, and community to succeed on their own terms—not someone else's.   Resources: Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/209  Get The Body Reset Mini Course: https://burnstressloseweight.com/bodyreset  Take the Stress Quiz: https://burnstressloseweight.com/stress Connect with Dr. Erica Howe: https://www.womenphysicianswellness.com/

What if retirement isn't about doing less, but about becoming more? George Jerjian spent his career as a retirement mindset coach, helping others navigate life after work. Then he decided to practice what he preached. He planned an 80-day round-the-world journey, intentionally choosing unfamiliar countries where he'd be forced out of his comfort zone and into transformation. This greatest hits crossover from Stacking Adventures brings George's story to the basement, not because it's about exotic travel (though the destinations are incredible), but because it illustrates something crucial about the retirement mindset. The question isn't whether you can afford to travel. The question is whether you're willing to reinvent yourself when the structure of work disappears. George shares the planning behind his epic journey, including why he used a travel agent (yes, really), how he chose destinations that would challenge him rather than just relax him, and what each stop taught him about identity, purpose, and staying relevant after a career ends. From South Africa's Robben Island and a five day safari that taught him about patience, to Australia's Great Barrier Reef and a Melbourne Immigration Museum exhibit that forced him to rethink identity, to New Zealand's Milford Sound and a Maori dance lesson about seeking approval, to Japan's samurai service culture and Hiroshima's lesson in resilience, to Canada's awe inducing Rockies and French-flavored Quebec. Every stop was chosen deliberately to teach him something, not just show him something. The conversation explores his DARE method for retirement planning, why so many retirees struggle with identity once their business cards disappear, and how intentional travel creates the mindset shift that makes retirement feel expansive rather than diminishing. Along the way, Joe and Crystal plug the "Where in the World is Crystal Hammond?" guessing game (she's not in the continental U.S. or Aruba), announce Seattle and Boston community meetups, and mention the Vault tool for credit monitoring. Plus, you'll hear about George's book, Odyssey of an Elder: Around the World in 80 Days. What You'll Learn: • Why retirement success depends on mindset transformation, not just financial preparation • George's DARE method for retirement planning and identity • How to plan transformational travel versus just vacation travel • Why choosing unfamiliar destinations matters more than comfortable ones • What each stop on George's journey taught him about life after work • How travel forces identity shifts that make retirement feel expansive • Why so many retirees struggle once their professional identity disappears • Practical strategies for reinventing yourself when work ends • How to use travel as a tool for personal growth, not just leisure This Episode Is For You If: • You're approaching retirement and worried about losing your identity • You've saved enough money but haven't thought about who you'll become • You're recently retired and struggling with the transition • You want retirement to feel like expansion, not contraction • You believe travel can transform you, not just entertain you Question for You: If you could take an 80-day trip designed to transform you (not just relax you), where would you go and why?

UFC Mexico didn't look great on paper but we did get some great moments in reality and it started with the very first bout on the card. Damien Pinas stopped Wes Schultz in opening stanza, showing fight fans that Aruba isn't just for vacations in the sun. Francis Marshall would submit Erik Silva in the first round, and Javier Reyes would make quick work of Douglas Silva de Andrade via TKO.Lacy Chiasson would take her third, straight defeat, this time at the hands of Ailin Perez, a much smaller woman who bullied her for most of the fight. One has to wonder if Lacy has hit her ceiling. Ryan Gandra finishing Jose Medina was a pretty easy prediction for many, and Gandra did it in just 41 seconds to round out the prelims.The main card saw Imanol Rodriguez stop Kevin Borjas late in round two via TKO, and King Green scored a second round TKO over Daniel Zellhuber. One has to wonder if Daniel has also found his ceiling, as this marks his third, straight loss. Finally, in a surprising twist, Lone'er Kavanagh soundly defeated Brandon Moreno via unanimous decision.

Miles, Points & Creative Spending: A Tribute to Bill Dickerson (Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast) Justin of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast remasters and re-releases an episode recorded 2–3 years ago with twins Eric and Bill Dickerson as a tribute to Bill, following his death from stroke-related complications. This conversation captures their early journey into miles and points and creative spending: credit card welcome bonuses, bank account bonuses, gift card reselling (including buyers like CardCenter.cc and QCGC), and using ACH payouts to help meet bank bonus requirements. They also discuss finding an edge with online gambling in Pennsylvania and New Jersey using blackjack strategy, casino promos, referrals, and gift-card-funded play. Since this recording, their strategies helped unlock meaningful travel, including trips to Aruba and Florida. Bill will be missed.

Is there any better for a race than Phillip Island? Well, given all the news at the weekend Steve and Gordo report from on the ground with the thoughts of the locals, the staff and the paddock on the bombshell news that MotoGP will move to Adelaide. Will WorldSBK follow? It certainly seems that way. On track, Nicolo Bulega was imperious as he starts his quest for global domination. The Aruba.it Ducati star man is a little more likeable than a bond villain and a hell of a rider. We break down his weekend which featured an incredible, almost unnecessarily, dominant performance in the wet conditions of Sunday. There are plenty of stories to follow this weekend. The first double podium for bimota since 1988 has confirmed the resurgence of Axel Bassani. His Sunday double will have given him a huge boast in confidence that this season he can be a closer challenger to his teammate, Alex Lowes. Lowes was one of the fallers in the wet conditions in Race 2 and we look at what caused many of the falls. The rise and fall of Independent Ducati's is set to be a big story this year. Steve said in our preview show that "on your good days you've got to take advantage of the package." Lorenzo Baldassarri certainly did that. The Italian, who refuses to acknowledge his season aboard a GMT94 Yamaha as a Superbike campaign, impressed the paddock this week. In testing he was quick but to withstand the pressure from Bassani in the closing stages of Race 1 was rewarded with his first career podium finish. Yari Montella had his first career front row and podium too. At BMW are the reigning World Champions in a tailspin? It depends on who you ask. That being said the two-day Portimao Test on March 9-10 will be critical for them. It was a weekend of highs and lows Miguel Oliveira. The rookie had everything thrown at him over the weekend. A superpole crash that relegated him to the back of the field was followed by two superb recovery rides in both conditions to leave him one point ahead of his teammate, Danilo Petrucci, in the standings. The performance gap between them seemed much higher this week. Yamaha's Xavi Vierge was the fastest man in blue this week but came away with zero points after a big crash in Race 1. Andrea Locatelli looked lost for most of the opening round but in wet conditions he found some confidence and came away fifth position. Thanks to Renthal Street for supporting the podcast.

En este episodio 545 nos movemos entre mapas incómodos y territorios que despiertan prejuicios. Desde el movimiento therian y la atmósfera caribeña de Aruba hasta las carreteras que llevan a Siria, la conversación con Jordi Vall nos enfrenta a esa pregunta que siempre flota sobre los viajes: ¿cuánto hay de peligro real y cuánto de miedo heredado? Oriente Próximo, México y el espíritu libre del Motorbeach Festival 2026 aparecen como estaciones de una misma ruta donde el viajero aprende a mirar más allá de los titulares. Un episodio que huele a arena caliente, a gasolina y a historias que rompen el guion previsto.

Dale and Christophe discuss the February 1942 German U-boat attack on Aruba and why the island's Lago Oil and Transport Company refinery was a critical Allied fuel source, processing Venezuelan crude into high-octane aviation gasoline. They explain Operation Neuland, Germany's coordinated Caribbean submarine offensive aimed at sinking tankers and crippling oil production, and detail U-156 (commanded by Werner Hartenstein) torpedoing multiple anchored tankers near San Nicolas Harbor, including the USS Pedernales, while attempting to shell the refinery. The shelling effort failed when the crew fired the deck gun with the muzzle cover still on, injuring crew and leaving the refinery largely intact; refinery workers activated emergency systems and production resumed quickly. The episode covers the psychological impact on Aruba, limited early defenses, casualties among sailors, and the broader campaign involving U-502, U-67, and U-129, which disrupted shipping across the Southern Caribbean. They describe the U-boat deck guns (8.8 cm and 10.5 cm) and the purpose of the muzzle plug, discuss convoy expansion, air patrols, blackouts/light discipline, and strengthened Caribbean bases and defenses that reduced U-boat effectiveness by 1943. The hosts emphasize logistics and energy infrastructure as strategic targets, industrial resilience, hemispheric defense cooperation, and how Caribbean oil supported later Allied operations, including aviation over Normandy. The episode ends with a “Hero Card” honoring Specialist Robert E. Hall Jr. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US Army Reserve 467th Engineer Battalion, killed by a suicide car bomb at a gate in Iraq on June 28, 2005, and provides contact info for the podcast via email, X/Twitter, and Discord.

In deze editie van Nieuws van de Week bespreken Rogier van Bemmel, Ad Verbrugge en Jelle van Baardewijk de geopolitieke en maatschappelijke verschuivingen die Europa en Nederland raken. Van de versnelde federalisering van de EU tot de schokkende onthullingen rond Jeffrey Epstein, en van de demonisering van Forum voor Democratie tot de escalerende conflicten in Oekraïne en het Midden-Oosten. Europa lijkt in een stroomversnelling te zitten: een Europees leger en een geïntegreerde kapitaalmarkt worden gepresenteerd als noodzakelijk antwoord op de veranderende wereldorde, maar critici zoals Bart de Wever waarschuwen dat we hiermee "de afgrond in gaan". Ondertussen zorgt de vrijgave van de Epstein-documenten voor schokgolven, waarbij netwerken blootgelegd worden die verder reiken dan gedacht.

For 17 years, Heather L. Arnold has been studying the archaeological record uncovering evidence of an ancient race of Giants who inhabited the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao nearly 7,000 years ago. When Heather moved from the island of Manhattan to the Island of Aruba to start her own tour company, her quest to provide historically accurate tours for her clients led her down a path of research shrouded by mystery. Through extensive investigations, field expeditions, explorations, and interviews, Heather determined that the true, rich history of the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, had been systematically repressed, and vehemently denied. Join us as we dive in to all of the secrets Heather has found! Heather has appeared on several television shows, podcasts, radio programs, and conferences, and her research is cited in several published works of fellow researchers, as well as entered into the Aruba National Archives. She recently moved back to the island of Aruba, where she continues her research while joyfully raising her daughter, who is of Aruban descent., "Mysterious Aruba: Giants, Dwarves, Dinosaurs, and Bigfoot," will be available this year on Amazon.〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

How do you launch a business, partner with your spouse, and still be fully present for your kids? Sounds impossible, right? I sat down with Dan Culver—he and his wife, Nicole, ditched the 9–5 provider/caregiver model. They closed their granola side hustle, co-lead her personal brand, and raise three daughters under one roof…without losing their minds. Today on the podcast, Dan shares the unfiltered playbook for running a family-first business without sacrificing sanity (or date nights). Listen in and discover:   • Why they refused "my job vs. your job" roles—and how that fuels total flexibility   • The boundary-setting hack that keeps work and home from bleeding into chaos   • How they loop their kids into big decisions (Aruba trip postponed? Here's why…)   • Their strategy to prepare kids for an unpredictable future—college, careers, gigs   • Sneaky time hacks: from lunch dates to business brainstorms, even with three kids If you've ever felt guilty hustling for family…or wondered if you can scale your dream and be a great parent…this episode is your blueprint. Tune in now to hear Dan's candid stories—and my take on making business and family thrive side by side. Did you enjoy this episode?

Lighting Black skin isn't complicated - but it is often taught wrong. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we break down how to photograph darker skin tones beautifully, accurately, and intentionally. From highlights and contrast to common lighting mistakes photographers make, this is a must-listen conversation for anyone serious about portrait photography. Learn better lighting Create stronger images Photograph people more honestly For decades, photography education, film stock, and digital camera technology have been built around a narrow definition of "correct" exposure - one that often fails Black and darker-skinned subjects. The result? Images that lack depth, nuance, and respect for the full spectrum of skin tones. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we dive deep into the art, science, and responsibility of lighting Black-skinned subjects properly. This is not about shortcuts or presets - it's about understanding light, skin, and intention.

Four days of testing on the Iberian Peninsula gets underway this week at Jerez. Two days of action will get underway at the Southern Spanish circuit on Wednesday before the paddock moves to Portimao. Iker Lecuona's move to the Aruba.it Ducati squad will see the Spaniard armed with the best bike on the grid and a team looking for their star man of the future. Could it be Lecuona? If he can perform well this year he'll be in the pound seats to be the man at Ducati if Nicolo Bulega moves to MotoGP. If Iker underperforms the Italian squad will look elsewhere to a host of out of contract MotoGP riders. The pressure won't ramp up for a few rounds but Lecuona needs to hit the ground running in 2026. Miguel Oliviera has already made the move from MotoGP to WorldSBK but what can we expect from him this year? Steve and Gordo breakdown his prospects and why this test is important for him and his new crew chief, Andrew Pitt. Bringing with him a wealth of experience as a rider and enginner Pitty is a wildcard in the mix at BMW. He's the man that could unlock potential from the package and give Miguel an extra gear compared to his teammate, Danilo Petrucci. The intra-team battle at BMW is set to be intriguing with the experienced Michael van der Mark in the shadows as test rider and a good yardstick to judge their performances on this week. At Honda Jake Dixon will be back in action and out to prove that lessons have been learned since his last days on the Fireblade. Three crashes were a blot on the November copy book for the British rider and it'll be interesting to see how his pace fares this week. After a raft of injuries in recent years for Lecuona Honda are already down a man with his replacement, Somkiat Chantra, ruled out of action after fracturing his forearm. Jonathan Rea was always scheduled to test this week for the Developement Team but will he now be seen as a potential replacement for Chantra at Round 1? Ryan Vikers and Tetsuta Nagashima are the other options. At bimota the biggest change is personnel. Axel Bassani has a new crew chief for 2026 with Uri Pallares rejoining the Provec run operation. The Italian rider has shown flashes of potential on the bimota but needs to make a step forward this year. Will changing crew chiefs bring with it a change of fortunes? It looks like bimota will only run Alex Lowes for a single day of this test. They also saved a day in November for the British rider. Is that a way to allocate the test dates more evenly throughout the campaign? Testing is always a chance to run the rule over rider changes. No change will be more significant than Alvaro Bautista joning Barni Racing. The double champion has a brand new bike for 2026 and the improved Ducati V4R might be exactly what he needs to be back on top. The fight for top Independent Rider honours this year should be led by Bautista but Jerez will give us a chance to see him in his new colours and on his new mount. There's lots to talk about as every in WorldSBK and we'll keep you up to date throughout the campaign!

Kelsey chats with Jen (@diveintopoints on Instagram) from Wisconsin, who lives on a hobby farm with her husband and three kids (a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old twin boys). Jen, her family, and her parents headed to San Diego in October 2025 staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, booked on points.In this episode, Jen shares about the waterslides and pools their kids couldn't get enough of, plus beach time at Mission Beach, beautiful sunset views, and their favorite moments at SeaWorld and aboard the USS Midway. Quick note: our connection dropped at the very end of recording, so Jen's answer to the final Trip Tales question is here in the show notes. If someone out there is considering this trip, what is it about San Diego and the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay that would make you say: Just Book It? I'd say just book it because you can't beat an easy trip to soak up the sunshine, slip down waterslides and enjoy a family friendly resort.

Brasil quer ser potência turística, mas hoje recebe menos turistas internacionais que Peru e República Dominicana, mesmo tendo Amazônia, Pantanal, litoral gigante e cidades históricas. Ao mesmo tempo, o turismo já responde por quase 8% do PIB e dos empregos do país e é movido, em mais de 90%, pelo brasileiro viajando dentro do próprio Brasil. Como é que um setor tão grande segue sendo tratado só como “férias” e não como política econômica, urbana e ambiental? Neste episódio do Mamilos, Ju Wallauer e Cris Bartis recebem Mariana Aldrigue, pesquisadora de turismo há 25 anos, professora da USP e ex-responsável pela área de inteligência da Embratur, e Ana Carla Fonseca, economista e urbanista, fundadora da Garimpo de Soluções, referência em economia criativa, cultura, cidades e desenvolvimento. Juntas, elas ajudam a responder: o que o turismo representa hoje para o Brasil e o que ele poderia ser se fosse levado a sério como estratégia de país?Ao longo da conversa, a gente fala sobre:a economia do turismo no mundo e no Brasil: participação no PIB, empregos, peso do turismo interno x internacional;o lugar do Brasil no ranking de destinos globais – e por que “turismo é o universo da manipulação estatística”;casos de países que se reposicionaram, como Peru, República Dominicana e Ruanda, usando soft power, gastronomia, audiovisual e campanhas como o Visit Rwanda;turismo, urbanismo e desenvolvimento territorial: projetos no Vale das Histórias e no Vale do Ribeira, autoestima de quem mora no território e risco de overtourism em lugares como Aruba;a diferença entre destinos “plastificados”, tipo parque temático (Gramado, Bonito, Balneário), e experiências mais conectadas com a comunidade e a cultura local, como o nomadismo digital no Rio Grande do Norte (Pipa, São Miguel do Gostoso);a imagem do Brasil lá fora e a frase incômoda de Ricardo Freire: “o pior embaixador do Brasil é o brasileiro”;e, no fim, uma chuva de hacks de viagem: como escolher destino sem cair em roubada, entender alta e baixa temporada, usar bem o mapa de chuvas e não ser enganado por “promoção imperdível” de passagem aérea.Se você se interessa por turismo no Brasil, viagens, economia do turismo, cidades, desenvolvimento regional, turismo sustentável, overtourism, nomadismo digital e planejamento de viagem, este episódio é pra ouvir com atenção – antes de comprar a próxima passagem.INSIDER: Se você curte o Mamilos, dá pra apoiar o podcast até na hora de renovar o guarda-roupa A Insider tá com uma condição especial pra nossa comunidade — aquelas peças confortáveis, tecnológicas e que duram muito mais tempo no uso do dia a dia. Desconto exclusivo pra ouvintes do Mamilos:Cupom de desconto: MAMILOS

Welcome to the first episode of 2026 where Rachel is talking to you from Aruba. This is her first time here since 2022 - which was a very complicated trip. She talks about her feelings from the last trip, the difficulties her and Dennis faced, and the feeling of rejection she had. This time around, things are different - but not uncomplicated. Rachel has realized there are still emotions that need feeling, chapters that need closing, and business that needs to be finished once and for all. Can she repair things that were once broken? Can your heart truly recover from such a loss? Take a trip down memory lane in this episode and you may realize - sometimes all it takes is a little bit of time.
