The World Changers Candidate - WCC - is calling on churches, parents, and communities to unite and take action against the normalisation of drug culture among young people. This as TOMORROW, Easter Sunday, coincides with the globally recognised "4/20" phenomenon—a day synonymous with cannabis celebration. The clash of these two dates has sparked concern over the potential escalation of youth-led "dagga parties" and drug-related activities. WCC launched the month-long campaign YESTERDAY and wants to ensure that schools remain safe spaces for growth. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Lucas Mahlakgane, Chairperson of WCC

We kick off our two-part Circumcision series— a topic you all have been begging us to cover for the last two years!— with none other than the Executive Director and Chairperson of Intact America, Georganne Chapin MPhil, JD.There is nothing we shy away from in this episode. Don't worry, we don't walk on any egg shells. While debunking common circumcision myths, like how this surgery helps to prevent UTIs, STDs, and HIV, is fun and intriguing, Georganne reminds us that it's important to shift our focus away from debunking myths (don't worry, we still do!) and instead onto exercising our innate common sense about the necessity of this practice. You'll hear about the origins of this surgery, which countries do it and why, and the undeniably uncomfortable details of the procedure itself. This isn't for the faint of heart, but if you are going to put your son through this, then you should know what it entails, FULLY. Georganne explains why circumcision is not exclusively a men's issue, and why circumcision has a lasting effect on women from the mothers of circumcised sons to the future female partners of circumcised men. Women DO have a voice in the circumcision debate, and soon-to-be moms should not sit on the sidelines while tasking their husbands to call the shots on this permanent, life-altering choice on behalf of their son.We learn about the lasting trauma of the procedure, the function and benefit of foreskin, how the trends and stats have changed over time in regard to the choice to circumcise, and why we prefer the term "intact" over "uncircumcised."Follow @intactamerica on instagramCheck out Intact America's resourcesResources mentioned in this episode:This Penis Business, Georganne's bookIntact AmericaCircumcision, an Elephant in the Hospital Excerpts - the video April references Skin in the Game Event in New York with Alan Cumming April 30th, 2025!Foreskin Day 2025 VideoHealthy Children Foreskin Retraction resourceReport circumcision injury through DoNoHarm.ReportPlease Don't Cut the Baby: A Nurse's Memoir Listen to our friend Fierce Lizzie's episode on circumcision on Unmedicated Girlies podcast hereSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

Chairperson of the Clare Tourism Advisory Forum, Hotel Woodstock Owner Sean Lally says while it's welcome that properties will be registered, the planning aspect shouldn't have been rushed through.

Students involved in Trinity College Dublin's Engineering Society were welcomed by staff at EirGrid, the operator and developer of Ireland's electricity grid, as part of STEPS Engineers Week recently. STEPS Engineers Week, managed by Engineers Ireland, aims to promote engineering education, celebrate innovation, and encourage the future engineering workforce. During the visit, students were given an in-depth look at EirGrid's work and operations with presentations delivered by the Head of Interconnection, John Ging, as well as colleagues across system operations, offshore wind and future networks, who shared their expertise on the technical and operational aspects of Ireland's energy system and how it is evolving to support a sustainable, low carbon future. "It's great to see the interest and curiosity of students when they come into the office. It's essential that engineering students coming from universities understand the opportunities available in the energy sector, as their skills will be so valuable in the future," said Ging. "As EirGrid work towards facilitating that eighty per cent of the electricity on our grid comes from renewable sources, we hope these engagements help inspire the engineers of tomorrow, who will make this happen. We look forward to welcoming more third-level students to the office and our converter stations throughout the year in similar visits." The visit also highlighted the importance of making technical information available to students, particularly those who will soon be stepping into roles where they will shape the future of energy and the environment. Garbhan Power, Chairperson of TCD Engineering Society said, "We had a fantastic day as a society, the enthusiastic and professional way EirGrid staff treated us with was genuinely inspiring and is a testament to the "can do" attitude of the organisation. I hope this visit can be the start of something in generating more interest and enthusiasm amongst students on work in the energy sector generally, and in renewable energy and EirGrid in particular." The visit comes just a week before the final of EirGrid's second annual CleanerGrid Competition, where third-level students from across the country will compete for the chance to win a top prize of €12,000 (€6,000 for the winning student team and €6,000 for the student's third-level institute). For this year's theme asks students to "Present your vision of what the growing energy sector will need to look like in 2050 to have sustainably achieved net-zero emissions". Finalists will present their innovations to industry experts including members of the EirGrid senior management team on Tuesday 25th March 2025.
