It's a full-blown Stupid Newsapalooza on today's episode of The Treehouse Show!We start with a guy whose peaceful mushroom-picking adventure takes a slight turn when he gets attacked by a bear. Then it's off to Florida, where a man discovers a very old LIVE GRENADE and makes the questionable decision to pick it up and personally deliver it to the police station. Right idea. VERY wrong order.Then we meet a woman who somehow registered a .4 blood alcohol level, which sends the Treehouse crew down memory lane wondering just how high their own BACs might have gotten during their prime drinking days.And finally, Reddit delivers the relationship question we didn't know we needed: Should a woman leave her boyfriend because he can't keep it up... and says HER ASS is the reason?Apparently, he has a very particular preference.And no, it's probably not the one you're guessing.It's bears, booze, bombs, bad decisions and bedroom problems on today's Treehouse Show.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.
Bacsó György tréner, coach, aki egyebek közt azzal is foglalkozik, miként lehet az AI-t jól használni, különösen az oktatásban és a vezetői gondolkodásban. A beszélgetés egyik kiindulópontja egy egészen különleges kezdeményezés. Gyuri és kollégái - Németh Zoltán "Dr Prezi" és Marton Gábor - tanároknak kezdtek el AI-val kapcsolatos workshopokat tartani, eredetileg teljesen önkéntes alapon. Az első alkalom után gyorsan kiderült, hogy óriási az igény, hiszen pillanatok alatt betelt a létszám, azóta pedig már több mint száz iskola kereste meg őket azzal, hogy szeretnék helyben is látni ezt a tudást. A tanárok érdeklődése nagyon beszédes. Egyszerre keresik azt, hogyan tudja az AI megkönnyíteni a mindennapi munkát, az adminisztrációt vagy a felkészülést, és azt is, hogyan lehet a diákokat úgy tanítani, hogy közben ne butítsa el őket a technológia. Gyuri szerint itt dől el minden. Nem az a kérdés, hogy használják-e a mesterséges intelligenciát, hanem az, hogy miként kérdeznek tőle. Egy feladat megoldását kérik, vagy segítséget a megoldáshoz. Szóba kerülnek azok az eszközök is, amelyek már most képesek teljes tananyagokból beszélgetéseket generálni, mintha egy podcastet hallgatnánk. Egy tankönyv anyagából percek alatt készülhet egy párbeszéd, amelyet a diákok hallgatnak, elemeznek, vitatnak. A tanulás így nemcsak gyorsabb, hanem sokkal személyesebb és játékosabb is lehet. A beszélgetés túlmutat a technológián. Arról is szól, milyen állapotban van ma a tréneri és vezetői világ, mennyire nyitottak a szervezetek a fejlődésre, és hogyan változott meg az elmúlt húsz évben a tanulás ritmusa. Ma már nincs idő többnapos tréningekre, minden sűrűbb, gyorsabb, célratörőbb lett, miközben az igény a valódi tudásra továbbra is jelen van. Gyuri számára az AI egyelőre eszköz, amely segít rendszerezni, ötletet ad, gyorsít, de nem veszi át az irányítást. A hangsúly azon van, hogy az ember megmaradjon gondolkodó lénynek, aki használja a technológiát, nem pedig kiszolgáltatja magát neki. A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

Das Bundesamt für Cybersicherheit (BACS) hat mit der Cybersicherheits- und Resilienzmethode (CSRM) einen strukturierten, aber bewusst pragmatischen Ansatz entwickelt, um die Cybersicherheit und die Cyberresilienz von Organisationen und Unternehmen zu verbessern. Im Mittelpunkt steht der erweiterte Grundschutzansatz: Eine festgelegte Menge von Basisanforderungen gilt grundsätzlich für alle Informatikschutzobjekte und muss unabhängig vom individuellen Schutzbedarf umgesetzt werden. Wenn ein erhöhter Schutzbedarf erkannt wird, werden zusätzliche technische und organisatorische Massnahmen (TOMs) ergänzt. Andreas Wisler und Sandro Müller diskutieren in dieser Folge über die neue Methode.

Dining out on acronymsWe use abbreviations every day - in writing, texting, note-taking, talking and, of course, in paymentsThere are a few different categories of abbreviations, and acronyms is one of themWhen you shorten a phrase by using just the first letter of each word and then pronounce it as a new word, you're using an acronymPayments aficionados often dine out on acronyms with the first letters often replacing the full phraseIt's been a while since Direct Debits were processed by Bankers Automated Clearing Services or you purchased your house with a payment sent via the Clearing House Automated Payment ServiceIt has been many years since both Bacs and CHAPS entered our vocabulary as clear derivations of long established payment scheme namesBack in 2006/7 a name was needed for a new kid on the payments blockIt was time to invent a name for the near real time payment system scheduled for introduction by the UK banks in May 2008.Today's global payments naming convention would have led to this new payment type to be christened Instant Payments but 2006/7 was a long time ago and, as a deferred net settlement or Near Real Time system with a SLA time of 2 hours perhaps an “instant” moniker would not have been appropriate.For a time it looked like the new payment type might be called Immediate Payments but if “instant” didn't work then it was unlikely that “immediate” would either. Also, an additional complication that was that Immediate Payments Limited wasn't a company that the Payment System Operator (at the time CHAPS Clearing Company Limited) owned.So with a distinct lack of creative innovation we ended up with a Faster Payment and an acronym of FPS - with the “S” being interchangeable between Service, System and Scheme!Today, we all know Faster Payments (and don't really care about what the “S” stands for) but did you know that, in 2008, the UK nearly ended up with what was referred to as a Scandinavian model designed to deliver a “same day Bacs1”?The term “Swedish model” is referred to as the special institutional arrangements of a society that is sometimes described as a middle way between capitalism and socialism.In the second half of the first decade of the 2000's a different type of Swedish model was about to take centre stage for the “same day Bacs” payment type slated for launch in May 2008.In response to the demand for a “same day Bacs” payment by Payment Systems Task Force set up by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) the industry initially offered ELLE(Early for Late and Late for Early) where a payment submitted by midday would be delivered by close of business that day and one submitted after midday would be delivered by midday the next day.However, in December 2005 the Payment Systems Task Force accepted an APACS2recommendation for a still more ambitious target on payment times to ensure access to funds within a couple of hours of any payment being made, and allowing payments to be sent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to be available by November 2007 (later amended to May 2008).With the ELLE acronym ceasing to be relevant and naming options including instant and immediate not really working the industry opted for the easy option of a Faster (than Bacs) Payment - along with three variations of “S”.And the rest, they say, is history - interestingly despite the “couple of hours” translating into a two hour SLA the Faster Payment Scheme has actually delivered an instant or immediate transfer of funds between the remitter and the beneficiary (albeit with a deferred net settlement happening in the background) so, perhaps, an instant payments moniker could have been used instead of defaulting to a Faster (than what?) Payment.Whilst the naming convention may leave a lot to be desired we should be thankful that sense prevailed and the “same day Bacs” design chosen was the Faster Payments Scheme / Service / System that we have enjoyed for the last 15 years - the UK would have been mush poorer with Elle.

What would you sacrifice for freedom? For Monet Bacs, Strategic Director at the LIBRE Initiative in Arizona, her father's answer was clear—everything. In this moving episode, host David From sits down with Monet to explore the legacy of her father, who fled Guatemala in search of opportunity, safety, and a future he couldn't find at home. Arriving in the U.S. as a teenage exchange student who spoke no English, Monet's father built a life rooted in hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in the American Dream. “I'd rather be homeless in America than live under tyranny,” he once said—and he lived those words, choosing struggle in freedom over comfort in oppression. Monet also opens up about her grandfather's horrifying experience in communist Cuba and how her father's heartbreaking death during COVID, amid a broken healthcare system, ignited her passion for meaningful policy reform. Today, she works through the LIBRE Initiative to empower Hispanic communities with access to economic opportunity, education, and better healthcare—carrying forward the legacy of sacrifice and service passed down by her father. It's a powerful story of resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to honor freedom.
Who built John? We find out that it takes more than just a village/borough/nation to raise such a superhunk. He has an entire team behind him, like all of the top athletes of his generation. And not just any top athlete superhunk, but one on the verge of yet another birthday.With this year's birthday, Elis has pushed the present boat out even further than the standard BACS. John's got more gifts coming out of his A than he does roulade, and they will no doubt be sweet and wreak yet more havoc on his energy levels.Plus there's loads of other stuff to get into including the struggles of eating a big salad, yet more wins and a belting follow up to Elis's paint travails.Get in touch via WhatsApp on 07974 293 022 or elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk if you're more old school.

Acquired by Mastercard in 2017, the UK's Vocalink manages the UK's Bacs payment system, ATM LINK switching platform, and the Faster Payments System, FPS. To make this more tangible, consider these statistics: Vocalink processes over 90% of UK salaries, more than 70% of household bills, 98% of state benefits, and powers 60,000 ATMs. Vocalink's influence goes beyond the UK, with technology that powers fast payments infrastructure in countries such as the US, Thailand, Sweden, the Philippines, Peru, and Saudi Arabia - just to name a few. Vocalink's origin story, which began in 1998, spurred payments modernization efforts worldwide. For this episode, we sat down with Gregor Dobbie, former CEO of Vocalink, to discuss what we can learn from Vocalink's journey and what the future holds for core payment systems.
A Missouri court recently found NAR, HomeServices of America and Keller Williams liable for $1.8B in damages for conspiring to keep commissions artificially high. And there's a long list of copycat lawsuits advocating a shift in the way commissions are paid in real estate. So, what might that look like? What does it mean for you and your business? Rob Levy has been a licensed Portland REALTOR since 1988 and currently serves as Principal Broker with The Rob Levy Real Estate Team, a top-producer in the Pacific Northwest. On this episode of The Portland Real Estate Podcast, Rob joins hosts Joe Fustolo and Steve Nassar to walk us through the lawsuits against NAR and discuss how buyer's agents might be paid in the future. They describe how the decoupling of commissions will impact first-time homebuyers and why buyer's agents will have to sell what we do to consumers moving forward. Listen in as Rob explains how decoupling commissions will increase the barrier-to-entry in real estate and learn how to adapt to a change in how BACs are paid and thrive in a ‘specialist's market.' Key Takeaways What's behind the $1.8B lawsuit against NAR (and the long list of copycat lawsuits) Rob's insight on how the real estate industry resisted change in 1993 when buyer's agency came out Why the listing agent and buyer's agent are both paid by the seller right now How buyer's agents might be paid by homebuyers or negotiate commissions when an offer comes in Why buyer's agents being paid by buyers is bad for the industry and first-time homebuyers Why buyer's agents will have to sell what they do to consumers moving forward How a shift in the way BACs are paid will impact the attrition rate for REALTORS How a decoupling of commissions might be a good thing for listing agents How the decoupling of commissions will increase the barrier-to-entry in real estate Why it's crucial for real estate agents to anticipate and adapt to change The similarities and differences between the current market and the Great Recession Opportunities to buy in the current real estate market (and how first-time homebuyers are priced out) How the recent dramatic rise in interest rates killed demand in the real estate market Life events that drive people to buy and sell homes regardless of the market Connect with Rob The Rob Levy Real Estate Team Connect with Joe Soldera Properties Joe on LinkedIn Connect with Steve Steve's Team at Premiere Property Group Steve on LinkedIn Resources Sitzer v.

Cyber Security is big business. In fact, it's estimated to be worth $160 billion. But that's likely to be peanuts compared to the value of cyber crime, which is estimated to cost the global economy $600 billion in 2022 - nearly 1% of the global economy. And just one corner of that - ransomware - costs the same in damage and paid-out fees as the entire cyber security industry: $160 billion. In fact, if ransomware was a country, its GDP would be higher than Morocco or Kuwait. In this episode, we'll be examining the rise of ransomware, where the risk lies in modern-day attacks, who is behind them, and what we can do about it.For Hewlett Packard Enterprise Senior Vice President and Global Chief Security Officer Bobby Ford, defeating ransomware is a constant and growing battle because its a straightforward payout for criminal gangs - there is no need to try and sell stolen data on the dark web or to foreign governments, you simply sell the victim back their access. He argues that the key to protecting ourselves is twofold. Firstly, use two-factor authentication wherever possible to guard against human weak-points such as opening infected emails. Secondly, be prepared to defend yourself. Be aware of the threats and where they are coming from, and mitigate them where you can, so long as it doesn't affect the running of your organisation. Beyond that, have a plan in place for being attacked, be that data recovery or, unfortunately, paying up. Chris Rogers is a Technologist at cyber security firm Zerto. He agrees that ransomware can be hard to avoid because humans are an inherent weakpoint, and ransomware attacks often come through human social engineering rather than password cracking. He points out that even momentary downtime can cause millions of dollars in damages. He agrees with Bobby that robust, quickly spooled up backups are an essential part of doing business. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done: Backups can sometimes be limited access, which is great for security but leaves organisations vulnerable if the key holder isn't immediately available. Beyond that, backups have to maintained incredibly regularly, as even a day's lost work for a large organisation can be a major blow. On the other hand, any back-up is better than no preparation at all. But how are cyber security threats like ransomware being treated at the very top of the tree? When it comes to cyber security, it doesn't get much more high value or (hopefully) secure than financial institutions. George Webster is chief Security Architect for HSBC. His office is tasked with quickly assessing threats, in particular APTs or Advanced Persistent Threats, and providing tools to counter them. He argues that the primary risk increase of the last couple of years has been people working from home, in situations where there are distractions and their security awareness may not be as strong as it was in the office. He also argues that on a wider level, it's not just staff who become more vulnerable as they are spread out: As ransomware becomes an increasing problem internationally, no organisation is safe anywhere in the world and being aware of the risk is key to countering it without shutting yourself off from the outside.The long show notes for this episode can be found here: https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-blog-uk-ireland-middle-east/ransomware-should-we-be-worried/ba-p/7183709#.Y_3FpHbP1PY

In Episode 73 this week, The 966 features an exclusive conversation with Jacob Mumm, Senior Vice President for Bechtel and Managing Director for Bechtel Saudi Arabia. Bechtel's role in over 300 major projects throughout 80 years in Saudi Arabia, including the world's largest single industrial development project at Jubail, the ambitious Riyadh Metro project, "The Spine" at Neom, Ras Al Khair, and many more, make it a significant part of the story of modern Saudi Arabia. Bechtel was also recently chosen for a project management role in the building of Trojena, an alpine-themed resort area within Neom. The hosts also ask Jake about the engineering marvel that is the late Zaha Hadid-designed metro station at KAFD, whether the Riyadh metro will help alleviate traffic woes in a growing Riyadh, the increasing number of Saudi women working for Bechtel, and the importance of developing local talent in the Kingdom.

Aurel has an extensive career in watches and in the last few years, he and his wife Livia have partnered with Phillips Auction House to help run their watch department. Now, Aurel is of course a collector of watches himself, but instead of talking about his collection, we wanted to talk about the psychology of collecting. What makes someone go further than they had planned at an auction? What about the little nuances that makes a collector buy a piece that to the naked eye, may match the other 10 that they currently own? There are a lot of aspects of collecting that I feel a lot of us don't think about. Aurel has auctioned off some of the most important pieces known in the market. From Paul Newman's Paul Newman Daytona to many others, he has dealt with collectors and buyers of all kinds.- Phillips Watch Department: In Association with Bacs & Russo - https://www.phillips.com/watches- Auction Video of Paul Newman's, Paul Newman Daytona - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0tjSUOvi5k&t=10sRecorded February 10th, 2021

With John Robins now joining co-host Elis James on the more mature side of 40, the potential mood of our birthday boy was anyone's guess today. Luckily, the pep in John's step was there for all to see… or at least it was until our old friend technology did its level best to de-rail proceedings at every turn. Did it manage to? We'll let you be the judge of that, dear listener (it did, and now John is sad again), but when did a little bit of on air jeopardy hurt anyone? Enjoy the chaos.
