Christine Khariv is Business Development Manager at DLF attorneys-at-law Ukraine. Christine writes eloquently and passionately about Ukraine on LinkedIn and Twitter, exposing Russian falsehoods, and advocating for Ukraine's cause.----------LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-khariv-qris/https://twitter.com/2QriShttps://pen.org.ua/en/100-knyzhok-yaki-dopomozhut-zrozumity-ukrayinu/https://chapterukraine.com/----------The Steel Porcupine https://www.thesteelporcupine.com/I'm proud to say that this series of ‘Ukrainian advent' interviews is supported by The Steel Porcupine – a unique and powerful film about a country that refuses to lie down, a people who turned themselves into a fortress of needles when Russian tanks rolled in. The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------WORKS NOMINATED BY: Christine Khariv BOOKSArtem Chapeye - Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns (2025)Lesia Ukrainka - Cassandra: A Dramatic PoemLesia Ukrainka - The Forest Song: A Fairy PlayFILMSSergei Parajanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)Pavlo Ostrikov - U Are the Universe (2024)WORKS OF ARTIvan Marchuk----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Michael Acevedo is the Business Development Manager for Nassal. Growing up in Orlando, Michael turned a summer job at Universal Orlando into a two decade career that has spanned ride operations, tech services, engineering, Universal Creative, Walt Disney Imagineering, and now themed construction and fabrication. He has worked on projects such as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Transformers, the Fantasyland expansion, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, before moving into project management and business development at Nassal and its design build brand, nFusion. In this interview, Michael talks about reliability & guest experience, being yourself, full circle career moments. Reliability & Guest Experience “Every minute of downtime on this one attraction impacts the guest experience so much more than even 10 minutes of downtime at this other attraction.” Michael explains how his time in tech services engineering at Universal revealed the tight bond between reliability and guest satisfaction. By combining uptime data with daily guest ratings and information on which rides guests could or could not experience, his team could see which attractions caused the biggest drop in satisfaction when they went down and prioritize problem sensors and components accordingly. This moves reliability from a back of house statistic to a strategic lever, guiding where to invest time and resources so that technical decisions protect the most emotionally important moments in the visit. Being Yourself “So the most important piece of advice I would give people is just be yourself.” Looking back, Michael admits he spent years trying to match an imagined standard of who he should be at companies like Universal and Disney. Over time, he noticed that promotions, project invitations and leadership responsibilities tended to appear when he was showing up as his authentic self. In an industry that needs everyone from artists and engineers to plumbers, accountants and ticket sellers, he argues there is no single template for success. Bringing your real background, culture and personality into the work, and remembering that you are also a consumer of these experiences, is part of what makes you valuable. Full circle career moments “I don't know if I'll ever be able to top that moment, standing there with people who I looked up to, that I was right alongside them.” Michael recalls a defining full circle moment on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. After years of development, he stood at the exit on opening morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios and watched guests step off the attraction in disbelief, some in tears, thanking the team for making their Star Wars dreams real. He links that experience to seeing creative leader Scott Trowbridge at Universal years earlier and wondering what it would be like to work with him, then later sitting together as peers on Galaxy's Edge. Through mentoring students, hosting shop tours and sharing his story, Michael hopes to help others create their own full circle career moments.   Michael encourages listeners who want to learn more about Nassal to visit nassal.com, where they can explore the company's portfolio of themed projects and capabilities. He also invites anyone seeking career advice or interested in working with Nassal to connect with him directly on LinkedIn.

The era of 3G is ending. For many industrial businesses, smart infrastructure systems, remote device management, and IoT connectivity rely on networks that are now being phased out globally. The question isn't if—but when your operations could be disrupted.In this episode of Tech Transformed, Trisha Pillay speaks with Jana Vidis, Business Development Manager at IFB, about the worldwide 3G sunset, what it means for enterprises, and how proactive planning can prevent costly disruptions. They explore the reasons behind the transition to 4G and 5G, the impact on various industries, and the strategies organisations can implement to assess their reliance on legacy devices. Why the 3G Sunset Matters3G networks have powered connectivity for decades, offering wide coverage and reliability. But as global operators move to 4G and 5G, maintaining 3G is no longer sustainable. Carriers are discontinuing services, and support is dwindling, leaving legacy devices vulnerable to:Operational downtimeInconsistent performanceIncreased security risksJana emphasises:“Have a good understanding of what devices you have. Work with IT partners to prepare for future changes. Plan your transition and act before disruption hits.”Jana also stressed the importance of understanding current technology deployments, planning for transitions, and future-proofing investments to avoid disruptions. The conversation highlights the need for proactive measures in adapting to technological advancements and ensuring operational continuity.A Global TimelineThe transition is already well underway across multiple regions:North America: AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile 3G networks discontinued in February 2022; Canada's shutdown begins in early 2025.Europe: Most countries, including the UK, Germany, Hungary, and Greece, will complete shutdowns by the end of 2025.Asia: Japan phased out 3G in 2022, Singapore in July 2024, and India plans completion by the end of 2025.Africa: South Africa started in July 2025; other countries are slowing the transition.South America: Providers like Telefonica, Entel, and Claro completed shutdowns in 2022–2023.Middle East: Oman started shutting down in July 2024; Zain Bahrain in Q4 2022; Kuwait, Iran, and Jordan are following.Industrial devices still using 3G must transition now to avoid operational disruption.

Welcome to the final 2025 episode of The Electropages Podcast, hosted by Robin Mitchell. Today's guest is Cary Horan, Business Development Manager at Omron, who specialises in sensing solutions for emerging smart city and smart agriculture applications.  In this episode, Cary explains how Omron's long history in relays, switches and board-level sensors has evolved into complete device and module solutions, including an all-in-one weather sensor designed for both street-level infrastructure and remote, solar-powered deployments.

Watch to learn how Omron's sensing platforms are helping to enable smarter cities, more efficient farms, and more sustainable infrastructure.

Send us a textIn this episode of the FuturePrint Podcast, we speak with Martin Burns, Business Development Manager for Nazdar's OEM Ink division, about how the company is driving innovation across the fast-evolving world of industrial inkjet.While many in the industry know Nazdar for its global ink portfolio, the OEM division operates differently—functioning as a specialist R&D partner for equipment manufacturers, integrators and emerging industrial innovators. Martin explains how his team acts as an extension of partners' technical groups, providing chemistry expertise, printhead insight and application knowledge that most OEMs cannot resource internally. This collaborative model accelerates development and supports more reliable and more capable inkjet systems.A major theme of the conversation is Nazdar's ultra-high-viscosity inkjet technology, capable of jetting at up to 100 cP. This opens a much wider formulation space, enabling new levels of stability, opacity, adhesion and performance. Martin outlines its impact across several sectors: textiles, where higher-density whites improve hand-feel and wash resistance; corrugated packaging, where better optical density can be achieved even on uncoated substrates; and coding and marking, where high-speed barcodes and QR codes benefit from sharper definition.Water-based development remains central to Nazdar's strategy, particularly for markets where regulatory and environmental pressures demand safer, lower-impact inks. Martin describes how Nazdar is helping OEMs overcome challenges around drying, energy consumption and substrate performance.Finally, Martin previews Nazdar's participation at FuturePrint Industrial Print in Munich, where senior members of the OEM team—including R&D chemists—will be on site for in-depth technical discussions. Rather than a traditional sales booth, the aim is to enable meaningful collaboration and accelerate the next wave of inkjet innovation.Listen on:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastSpotifyWhat is FuturePrint?

Buying a home in Ireland can be one of the most exciting and daunting parts of an expat move.In this episode, I chat with Rob Priestman, Business Development Manager at EBS, who's been helping people secure mortgages for over 20 years. Rob's also an ultra-marathon runner, which might explain his stamina for navigating the twists and turns of Ireland's mortgage market!We talk through what's really happening in the market right now and what expats and returning Irish need to know before applying. Rob explains how Central Bank lending rules work in practice, how lenders assess affordability, and what to expect if you're earning in a foreign currency (including why only 80% of that income is typically taken into account). We also cover practical essentials like getting “mortgage ready,” working with a solicitor or buyer's agent, and why opening a euro bank account early on can save you trouble later.The key thing to note here is that every case is different, but Rob's advice will help you plan ahead and approach the process with confidence. His calm, practical insight is a real reassurance in what can be a complex journey.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Changes in the Irish Mortgage Market: Rob outlines how lending practices have evolved since the Celtic Tiger years, with Central Bank rules now enforcing stricter loan-to-income and affordability criteria to ensure borrowers can manage repayments.Getting Mortgage-Ready from Abroad: We discuss the practical steps expats should take before applying—understanding costs, securing mortgage approval in advance, and assembling the right professional support team including a solicitor and buyer's agent.Foreign Income and Currency Considerations: Rob explains how lenders assess non-euro income (typically taking 80% of its value to allow for currency fluctuations) and why having a euro bank account is essential for repayments.Understanding Affordability and Repayment Capacity: We look at how repayment capacity is tested, including why existing overseas rent or mortgage payments must still be included until you return to Ireland—often reducing how much you can initially borrow.Buying vs. Building in Ireland: Rob shares how the process for self-builds mirrors that of a purchase, with extra focus on documentation and costings, and stresses the importance of starting conversations early to make the process smoother.Get in touch with Rob (and mention the podcast when you do!):Email: rob.priestman@ebs.iePhone: +353 879 037 867LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-priestman-3767277/*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

En Capital Intereconomía hemos celebrado una nueva Tertulia de Mercados con la participación de destacados expertos del sector financiero: Víctor Asensi, Country Head en España de DPAM; Félix de Gregorio, Business Development Manager de Nordea; Fernando Fernández-Bravo, responsable de ventas institucionales de Invesco; y Mariano Guerenstein, co-head de clientes institucionales y ventas de J. Safra Sarasin AM. Los analistas han coincidido en que la actual temporada de resultados empresariales está siendo sólida, con un número elevado de compañías que están superando las expectativas del mercado, lo que refuerza el optimismo de los inversores. Sin embargo, algunos advierten que, pese a los buenos datos, el riesgo de complacencia podría aumentar si las bolsas siguen marcando máximos sin una mejora significativa en las previsiones de beneficios a medio plazo. Uno de los focos de debate ha sido el impacto de la reunión entre Estados Unidos y China, que ha contribuido a relajar las tensiones comerciales y mejorar el apetito por el riesgo. Los tertulianos han valorado positivamente este acercamiento, señalando que “cualquier signo de estabilidad entre las dos mayores economías del mundo se traduce en una mayor confianza en los mercados de renta variable y en un alivio en los bonos soberanos”. Respecto a la estrategia de inversión, los expertos han reflexionado sobre si el mercado se encuentra en una fase de exceso de optimismo. Algunos gestores recomiendan “mantener la exposición a renta variable, pero con una mayor diversificación sectorial y un enfoque más selectivo”, mientras que otros sugieren “ajustar ligeramente las carteras hacia activos defensivos para proteger las ganancias acumuladas durante el año”. En cuanto a las ideas de inversión, la renta fija sigue ganando protagonismo. Los representantes de las gestoras han coincidido en que los bonos corporativos de alta calidad y las emisiones soberanas a medio plazo ofrecen rentabilidades atractivas, especialmente en un entorno de tipos estables. En renta variable, destacan oportunidades en sectores como salud, tecnología y transición energética, con especial atención a compañías europeas que combinan crecimiento y dividendos sostenibles. La jornada se ha completado con el análisis de preapertura de los mercados junto a Alexis Ortega, profesor de Finanzas de la EAE Business School, quien ha subrayado que el sentimiento positivo de los inversores se apoya en los buenos resultados y la menor tensión geopolítica, aunque ha advertido de que “el mercado podría entrar en una fase de consolidación antes de un nuevo impulso de cara al cierre del año”.

This is a crossover episode with the Spring Street Passive House education and advocacy series.How do Passive House enclosure decisions actually happen? There's a stubborn storyline that passive house designs go “too far” and result in a wholly different, and painful, design and construction process. The reality is that designing and building a Passive House is not all the different from building any project. In both cases you are working with a blend of the rigor of building science, the skill and craftsmanship of the construction team, the realities of project specifics like site, climate, budget, and schedule, and the personalities of the people involved. All of this then gets organized and systematized within the context of the Passive House standard of care which simply asks that we do all we can to ensure that a good design translates into long-lasting positive outcomes.Our guest today is Cameron Caja, CPHC. Hearing all he's doing in the industry/world and the level of expertise he brings is an good reminder of the many intelligent caring people working tirelessly and with great resolve in the AEC today. Hearing his intelligence, wisdom and warmth is encouragement not lose sight of the goal of better buildings, and to not lose heart - we can do this.Links from the Episode:Spring Street Passive HouseEarth AdvantagePHIUSPHICameron CajaCameron Caja is the Business Development Manager at Positive Energy, a role that utilizes the skills he gained through diverse cultural landscapes and his passion for sustainable building practices. His story began as a builder's apprentice in high school, laying the foundation for a career marked by a deep appreciation for construction and design.Cameron studied at National Central University in Jhongli, Taiwan, and Soonchoonhyang University in South Korea, to understand how culture, language, and policy can guide development of the built environment. His studies continued in Japan, Thailand, and Russia, delving into the intersections of politics, housing, and food systems. Cameron earned his Masters degree in Education from the University of Arkansas, where he later managed specialized international education programs for the Graduate School.Sustainability, human and environmental health have always been at the heart of Cameron's endeavors. As a licensed residential builder and the owner of Polaris High Performance Homes, he committed that 100% of his projects would at least meet Energy Star, EPA Indoor airPlus, and WaterSense certifications. As one of the first Certified Passive House Consultants in the state of Arkansas, he actively contributes to advancing building standards in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri as the Central Region Representative of the Phius Alliance Council. Cameron's commitment to community service is evident in his roles with the Habitat for Humanity of Washington County Construction Committee, Tri Cycle Farms Food Recovery Program, and the Omni Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology. These organizations allow him to extend his impact beyond the realm of building science, addressing crucial social issues like homelessness and food insecurity.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.
