Today's episode starts with a rambling overview of how things are around here in the beeyard from hive beetles to one year mark from the WNC floods. Then a discussion of a YouTube interview with the legendary Vermont beekeeper for 50 years, Michael Palmer who says being "near row crops" is seriously hurting his beekeeping in a severe new way. Then a related article I happened to find on how neonics make varroa destructor much more destructive. I encourage you to listen to the two part video interview presented by Inside The Hive TV, a YouTube channel with some very interesting interviews.  Links to the material discussed: Part One of the YouTube featured on the Inside the Hive TV channel. Part Two is here. Part Three is just a short about Palmer talking about the book he is still trying to write. And OH I hope he does! Here's the article I quote from in Entomology Today.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes back Maxim W. Furek Date: September 30th, 2025 EP: 621 TOPIC: Maxim joins me today to talk about his book " Paranormal Apocalypse" . - Book Overview - - What if our obsession with the end times reveals something extraordinary about human nature? From a forgotten 1969 song that predicted our technological nightmare to the mysterious drone swarms of 2024, something dark threads through human consciousness—an inexplicable attraction to our own destruction. The Secret Psychology of Doomsday Why did a simple folk song about the year 2525 become a massive hit during the Summer of Love? What drives ordinary people to abandon everything and follow apocalyptic cult leaders? And why can't we look away when the world seems to be ending? Author Maxim W. Furek has uncovered a hidden pattern—a psychological phenomenon he calls "Apocalyptic Awe" that explains everything from ancient prophecies to modern conspiracy theories, from Hollywood blockbusters to political movements. The Questions That Will Haunt You: What did H.P. Lovecraft see coming that we're only now discovering? Why do the same apocalyptic fears resurface generation after generation, just wearing different masks? How are online "rabbit holes" weaponizing humanity's oldest anxieties? What connects the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to your social media feed? The Dark Discovery Through shocking case studies—from Jonestown to January 6th, from nuclear panic to AI anxiety—Furek reveals how apocalyptic thinking isn't just shaping our entertainment and politics. It's rewiring our brains. But here's the twist: understanding this hidden force might be the key to our survival. Some truths about human nature can only be found in humanity's darkest fantasies. The Bridge Between Worlds Why do the paranormal and apocalyptic thinking always appear together? Why do UFO sightings spike during social upheaval? What's the real connection between ghost stories and global catastrophe? The answers will change how you see everything—from the news to your nightmares. Ready to discover what your fascination with the end times says about you? Paranormal Apocalypse isn't just about predicting the future—it's about understanding the hidden forces already shaping it.

New insights from Microsoft Ireland reveal Ireland's workforce is navigating a period of transformation. The Microsoft Ireland Work Trend Index 2025 is based on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 Irish workers, conducted annually as part of a general population study, ensuring a demographic balance year-on-year. The results show that AI is emerging as a career catalyst, while job turnover hits a record? 38%, according to the respondents who took part in the survey,?while workplace satisfaction trends marginally downward. With AI adoption up 27% year-on-year, 41% of workers say it helps them work smarter. Half (50%) believe AI skills are critically important to remain competitive in the job market, while 54% say having these skills will broaden their job opportunities. Additionally, 40% believe knowing how to use AI at work will help them get promoted faster, and 34% say AI has made them consider other career paths. Yet, this optimism is tempered by uneven access and training gaps, with over half of workers calling for structured or employer-led AI training to help speed adoption. A Workforce in Flux and Under Pressure - Employees call for Balance Despite 57% of workers seeing opportunities for growth within their current roles, Ireland's labour market is in motion. Based on the survey results, turnover has surged from 19% in 2023 to 38% in 2025, positioning Ireland as a market with significant talent volatility. This churn underscores the importance of investing in retention strategies that empower employees to thrive by supporting their well-being, balance, and growth, which in turn help organisations to remain resilient in a rapidly changing workplace. Ireland's workforce trends align with global insights that highlight how emotional strains are compounded by the realities of today's workday, where digital overload and constant interruptions challenge even the most flexible environments. Linking this workforce feedback to Microsoft's global telemetry, a picture emerges showing the modern workday is increasingly distracted. Workers are interrupted every two minutes or 275 times per day, receive 117 emails daily, and spend 57% of meetings in unscheduled sessions. AI Eases Employee Strain - But Wider Access and Training is Required AI offers a practical remedy, helping employees manage their workload, reduce stress, and focus on higher-value tasks. It is increasingly seen as a solution to workplace pressure, with 91% of users in Ireland saying it improves the quality of their work. Additionally, 34% of workers say AI has made them reconsider their career path, highlighting its influence on professional ambition and future career opportunities. However, AI use remains uneven: · Board-level executives: 91% use AI at work · Non-managers: Only 39% use AI at work (versus 66% of managers) · Gender imbalance: 63% of men versus 47% of women use AI at work · Generational usage: 55% of Gen Z (18-24) use AI at work, compared with 62% of younger millennials (25-34), 59% of older millennials (35-44), 47% of Gen X (45-54), and 48% of Boomers (55-64). These disparities raise concerns about who has access to AI tools and benefits from them, and who risks being left behind. Lower engagement with AI could limit opportunities for efficiency and relief from routine tasks, potentially exacerbating stress levels for employees under pressure. It's perhaps no surprise, therefore, that over half (61%) of Irish workers are calling for structured AI training, saying their employer could support adoption by offering more training either in-house or through external providers, and 47% believe they should be given more time to research AI independently. Commenting on the alignment between Irish trends and the broader global perspective, Microsoft Ireland General Manager, Catherine Doyle said: "Ireland is at a turning point. As AI transforms the world of work, Irish employees and employers are navigating rapid change and new opportunities. The me...

The latest figures from the Department of Housing show that 16,353 people were homeless or living in emergency accommodation in the State last month. Léiríonn na figiúirí is deireanaí ón Roinn Tithíochta go raibh 16,353 duine gan dídean nó ag cur fúthu i lóistín éigeandála sa Stát an mhí seo caite. This is an increase of 295 on the number of people who were homeless in July. Méadú de 295 is ea é sin ar an líon daoine a bhí gan dídean i mí Iúil. The number of children living in emergency accommodation in August included 5,145, the highest number ever recorded. Áírítear 5,145 leanbh ar na daoine a bhí ina gcónaí i lóistín éigeandála i mí Lúnasa, an líon is mó leanaí a taifeadadh riamh. Commenting on the new figures, Seán Moynihan from the elderly charity Alone said that the number of people over 65 who rented a home had increased by 83% between the last two censuses. Ag trácht dó ar na figiúirí nua, dúirt Seán Moynihan ón gcarthanas do dhaoine aosta Alone gur tháinig méadú de 83 faoin gcéad idir an dá dhaonáireamh dheireanacha ar an líon daoine os cionn 65 bliain d'aois a raibh áras cónaithe ar cíos acu. The situation must have gotten worse, he said, since there are so many people in their fifties and forties who currently don't have a home of their own. Ní foláir nó gur i ndonas a rachas an scéal, arsa sé, ó tá an oiread sin daoine atá sna caogaidí agus sna daichidí faoi láthair nach bhfuil áras cónaithe dá gcuid féin acu. According to the Munster, 25% of the houses to be built by the State should be made available for older people to get ahead of the problem. Dar leis an Muimhneachánach gur cheart 25 faoin gcéad de na tithe atá le tógáil ag an Stát a chur ar fáil do dhaoine aosta le teacht roimh an bhfadhb. He was talking about the commitment in the Government Programme to build over 300,000 homes between now and the end of 2030. Ag caint a bhí sé ar an ngealltanas atá i gClár an Rialtais barr ar 300,000 áras cónaithe a thógáil as seo go deireadh 2030. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Ahead of the historic Steelers Vs. Vikings NFL game this Sunday (28th September) in Dublin, the Irish government's trade and innovation agency, Enterprise Ireland has launched a report, powered by PItchBook data on Ireland's sports tech sector. The report points to Ireland's robust domestic sports tech sector, home to 93 VC-backed sports tech companies, including 40 homegrown global innovators. These companies include Orreco, Kitman Labs and Output Sports, who joined Enterprise Ireland for the launch of the report. All three companies are working with NFL teams and many other global sporting brands, including NBA, NHL, PGA Tour, F1, Olympians, Premier League and Premiership Rugby. Orreco the global leader in bio-analytics solutions for professional athletes, also announced today that they are supporting the Harvard Football Players Health Study, funded by the NFL and NFLPA. The study leads efforts to develop and support innovative research that has the potential to impact the health of current, former, and future NFL players. Examining the VC level of activity in Irish sports tech, the report, powered by PitchBook data reports that Ireland's sports tech ecosystem has notably defied the recent downward trend in VC activity seen in other regions since 2022. Irish sports tech VC deal count grew by more than 50% in 2023, compared with a drop of more than 30% for Europe overall in the same period. In 2024, Ireland's deal count grew an additional 47.1%, while broader European deal count declined again by 15.5%. Since 2014, Irish sports tech start-ups have collectively raised over €224 million in VC funding across 181 transactions. Notable VC funding rounds include Kitman Labs (€71.1 million raised) and Xtremepush (€18.6 million) and Output Sports with €4.5 million raised in 2025. Year to date 2025 data show that Ireland ranks seventh in Europe for total sports tech VC deal count, despite its relatively small population. On a per-capita basis, this ranking rises to first, and Ireland has maintained a top four ranking nearly every year over the past decade. Enterprise Ireland has emerged as a central force in shaping the sports tech investment landscape, not only in Ireland but across Europe. Since 2024, it has led the region in deal activity with 19 sports tech investments - more than triple the number recorded by the next most active investors. Commenting on the report, Keith Brock, Enterprise Ireland's Senior Client Advisor for Enterprise Solutions, said: "The Irish sports tech industry has expanded rapidly over the past ten years, both in terms of the number of companies, but also in the level of investment they have attracted and the impact they are achieving internationally working with global sports leagues. Across Enterprise Ireland's portfolio of sports tech companies, there are 89 active or pending patents covering wearable devices, augmented reality, diagnostic, exercise equipment and equine health. This level of patents points to the strong level of R&D and innovation happening in the sector, which in turn is accelerating the international sports industry from athlete performance to fan engagement. "We are proud of Enterprise Ireland's role in supporting the Irish sports tech industry, leading sports tech investment not only in Ireland, but in Europe, with 19 sports tech investment since 2024 alone. However, while Enterprise Ireland has been backing the Irish sports tech industry, the industry has also attracted major global VC investment including from Octopus Ventures (UK), Partech (France) and Apex Capital (Portugal)." Irish companies working with NFL Teams: Kitman: Kitman Labs' Intelligence Platform (iP) is an advanced operating system for performance, health, and talent development, unifying data across medical, performance, coaching, and operational domains to deliver AI-driven, evidence-based insights. iP enables leagues, federations, and elite organisations to connect data, streamline workflows, and optimise ath...

The Outer Realm welcomes back Joshua Cutchin Date: September 24th, 2025 EP: 619 TOPIC: Joshua joins the show to talk about his latest book " Fourth Wall Phantoms: Reflections on the Paranormal, Narrative, and Fictions Becoming Fact " Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Michelle Desrochers and The Outer Realm :https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Joshua: A full-time author and musician, Joshua Cutchin has appeared on hundreds of paranormal programs such as Coast to Coast AM and is regularly invited to speak at paranormal conferences about his work. He is the author of nine books, including 2022's critically-acclaimed two-part series Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal. His latest book, Fourth Wall Phantoms: Reflections on the Paranormal, Narrative, and Fictions Becoming Fact, was released in April 2025. In addition to his own books, Joshua also regularly contributes to essay collections, most recently Dr. Jack Hunter's Deep Weird(2023) and Dr. Simon Young's The Cottingley Fairies (2024). He has appeared on the hit History Channel television series Ancient Aliens and was featured in 2024's breakout UFO documentary, Cosmosis. He is a regular guest on the Where Did the Road Go? podcast and maintains an online presence at JoshuaCutchin.com About The Book ( borrowed from Amazon) Few of us ever expect to encounter flying saucers, monsters, or ghosts in our lifetime. Yet those who do inevitably face an unsettling realization: that reality is far stranger than we've been led to believe. As shocking as these revelations might seem, they pale in comparison to an even more controversial phenomenon lurking in the shadows: encounters with fictional characters made real. Over the centuries, countless individuals have reported coming face-to-face with characters and creatures seemingly ripped from our collective imagination—everything from literary heroes to mythical beasts, even comic book superheroes. What at first seems like a rarity soon reveals itself as a pervasive aspect of the paranormal writ large. UFOs mimic elements of pulp depictions. Cryptids emerge from folklore and fiction. Urban legends materialize as authentic ghostly phenomena. Evidence abounds for those willing to listen with open minds… and confront the impossible. In Fourth Wall Phantoms, acclaimed paranormal author Joshua Cutchin dares to explore one of the few remaining taboos of High Strangeness: the permeable “fourth wall” separating fiction from reality. Through a mixture of both celebrated cases and rare or never-before-published accounts, Cutchin invites readers to venture beyond the page in a search for truth in the unlikeliest of places: the crossroads of the paranormal, the imaginary, and the real. “The story in which fiction becomes fact saved Joshua Cutchin's life. It can save yours, too. That's because it is you. This was once called ‘myth,' by which our intellectual ancestors did not mean untruth but something like, ‘This is really weird.' I laughed a lot reading this book, giggling in recognition and realization. This is really weird, even more so because it is so.” - Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else Where to Buy the Book: Amazon link https://a.co/d/jcYMRgO

Azets Ireland has unveiled new data which reveals that 60% of Irish businesses are using AI in some form as part of everyday operations. AI adoption grows among Irish firms The survey of 119 firms across Ireland in May 2025 reveals how Irish SMEs are using technology to future-proof their operations amid the accelerating digital transformation. Findings reveal growing rates of adoption of AI tools and technology, with the number of organisations using AI across their organisation every day rising by 11% since last November. Despite growing levels of adoption, a significant proportion of firms remain at an early stage on their AI journey. 21% of firms have not yet integrated AI in their business, while 19% of firms are researching the technology but have yet to implement it within operations. Only 1% of firms consider themselves to be at the forefront of AI adoption and innovation in their sector. Smaller firms lagging behind There are also signs of a correlation between company size and adoption, with smaller companies struggling to keep pace with larger counterparts. 71% of micro businesses (10 employees or less) have yet to adopt AI within operations, compared to only 12% of large organisations. The Finance sector has the highest level of AI adoption, with 76% of organisations having implemented AI in some capacity. This compares to 54% of firms in the construction sector and 53% of firms in the retail sector. Cybersecurity tops business priorities Findings show that cybersecurity is the top business priority for firms in Ireland, amid the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Data on key growth indicators show that firms expect to significantly strengthen cybersecurity over the next 12 months, scoring a projected change in capabilities at 6.7 out of 10. Digitalisation and future turnover follow at 6.4 out of 10, indicating an elevated focus on growth and technology investment. Irish firms experience a lower level of cybersecurity incidents across Northern Europe The results show that Irish organisations experienced the lowest level of cybersecurity incidents (30%) across the six northern European countries surveyed. This compares to an average of 38% across the UK, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Only 8% of Irish firms reported multiple cyber incidents across the year, demonstrating a high level of cyber resilience across the Irish business community. The construction sector experienced the highest average rate of cyber incidents, with 45% reporting at least one incident over the past 12 months. This is followed by the finance sector, with 43% of surveyed firms reporting a minimum of one incident. More than 1 in 3 (37%) medium-sized businesses reported a cyber incident over the past 12 months. Commenting on the findings, Neil Hughes, CEO of Azets Ireland, said: "In an era of heightened economic and trade volatility, business leaders need to navigate their organisation through short-term turbulence while planning effectively for the future. "Many SMEs in sectors such as hospitality, retail, and other family-owned businesses are under pressure as a result of the rising cost of business and need greater support if they are to grow and thrive into the future. Reducing the cost and regulatory burden on these businesses must be a priority in the months ahead. "Despite these challenges, our findings show that leaders are taking decisive steps to future-proof their organisation and drive growth from harnessing the power of AI to strengthening cybersecurity. It's clear that leaders increasingly recognise the potential of AI to enhance productivity and efficiency across their organisation and are embracing the technology in their business. "Not every business has the resources to keep pace with the rapid pace of innovation. Our findings show that small, owner-managed businesses in particular are struggling to advance innovation and embrace AI tools and technology. With a growing skills gap at many of these firms, it's crucial that d...

Leading hiring platform IrishJobs has today published new data, revealing that nearly 8 in 10 employers in Ireland are using AI in the hiring process. Recruiters report that AI tools are helping to enhance productivity and enabling more efficient hiring. The IrishJobs Hiring Efficiency survey gathered insights from 475 recruiters and 824 job seekers in Ireland to identify changing attitudes and actions on hiring processes in a fast-evolving labour market. Findings from the survey reveal that 78% of recruiters in Ireland are using AI at some point in their recruitment process to enhance productivity. Adoption of AI among recruiters has increased by 50 percentage points over the past 12 months. 28% of employers reported using the technology in recruitment in August 2024, according to previous research by IrishJobs. Recruiters in Germany, the UK, and Austria also took part in the research, with results indicating that Irish recruiters are following a similar trajectory to international HR professionals regarding the adoption of AI. Over half of employers in Germany (60%) use AI in their hiring processes, while 77% of recruiters in the UK report using the technology to boost productivity and efficiency. In Austria, more than two-thirds of recruiters (66%) reported leveraging AI to support recruitment activities. Impact of AI 52% of recruiters in Ireland report that manual administrative tasks take up too much time in their everyday role and slow down the hiring process. The use of AI tools and technology is having a direct impact on reducing the time spent on these tasks and streamlining the hiring process. Writing and publishing job adverts (28%) is the top way in which recruiters are using AI to automate the recruitment process and enhance productivity. Reviewing job applications and CVs (23%) is the second most frequent use of AI among recruiters. This is followed by preparing and sending offer/contract documents (17%). 13% of employers are using AI technology to conduct interviews. Despite the rapid growth in AI adoption, a sizable minority of recruiters remain uncertain about the adoption and implementation of the technology in operations. 19% of recruiters reported that their current IT systems do not support integration of AI tools. Candidate dissatisfaction with recruitment processes The survey reveals several factors that are affecting hiring success, including the length of recruitment processes and the number of stakeholders involved. 23% of job candidates report that there are too many steps involved in the hiring process and drop out before it is complete. Overall, more than 1 in 4 job candidates who apply for a role do not complete the hiring process. Many employers are considering reducing the number of interviews in response to candidate dissatisfaction, with 36% of HR leaders admitting there are now too many interviews in the hiring process. A further 44% of employers call out the need for quicker internal processes, saying it takes too long to receive feedback from hiring managers. Commenting on the findings, Christopher Paye, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs, said: "The Irish economy is set to face a new period of elevated economic uncertainty over the coming months, prompted by the introduction of international trade tariffs. However, despite this heightened volatility, the outlook for the labour market remains positive, with Davy recently forecasting that the workforce will grow by 2-3 per cent in 2025, while recent data from the CSO reported that the number of people employed in the state has risen above 2.8 million for the first time. This resilience will mean that many employers in Ireland continue to navigate a highly competitive market for talent and face skills shortages across various sectors. The IrishJobs Hiring Efficiency survey provides a timely insight into the opportunities and challenges facing recruiters in this evolving environment. It's clear...

The total amount of grid-scale solar energy produced in 2024 was surpassed five months early in July of this year, EirGrid has confirmed. Official metered data shows that by the end of July this year, 753 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of solar energy had been supplied on the grid, up from a total of 659 GWh for the whole of 2024. EirGrid's National Control Centre carries out the complex task of balancing the supply of solar energy alongside conventional generation sources and other renewable resources such as wind power to ensure that demand can be met. The new yearly record comes against the backdrop of a series of solar activity peak records set over the course of the summer, with the highest level of 798 Megawatts (MW) recorded at 3 pm on Wednesday, 9 July. Megawatt (MW) values provide snapshots of electricity demand at a particular moment in time, whereas Gigawatt Hours (GWh) reflects electricity use over a longer period. Meanwhile, the latest provisional data from EirGrid shows that 35% of electricity came from renewables in August. Overall, 27% of electricity in August came from wind, with 5% coming from solar. Gas was the single largest source of electricity generation for the month at 45%, with 19% coming from imports. Overall electricity system demand stood at 2,704 GWh for August, down slightly from July. Commenting on the data, Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "While the overall percentage for solar power remains relatively small compared to some other sources of generation, its strong growth has marked an evolution in Ireland's fuel mix. This has been driven by progress in connecting large-scale solar energy to the national electricity grid in recent years."

ESB Networks has announced that it has successfully installed over two million smart meters in homes, farms and businesses across every county in Ireland. More than four out of five households across the country now have a smart meter installed. The roll out is continuing and has expanded to include the upgrade of three-phase whole current meters, thereby ensuring these customers will also have access to the benefits of smart meters. Smart meters allow customers to see detailed information and insights into their energy use directly through the ESB Networks Online Account. This can help customers use electricity more efficiently, reduce consumption and to choose a suitable smart meter tariff from suppliers. To date, a significant number of customers have registered for the ESB Networks Online Account with over one million views of the 'energy consumption' service on the platform. Other benefits include access to the microgeneration scheme with currently over 140,000 customers with smart meters who generate their own electricity (e.g. solar panels) receiving payments for any excess electricity they sell back to the network. In addition, smart meters reduce the need for estimated bills and will improve network services to customers in areas through fault monitoring and the prioritisation of system improvements nationally, the Smart-Pay-As-You-Go service, and supporting energy demand flexibility. Minister for Climate, Energy and Environment, Darragh O'Brien TD, commented: "To reach over two million smart meter installs across the country demonstrates what a success the National Smart Metering Programme has been. Now, people are starting to really see the benefits. Smart meters provide individuals with more information, giving them more control over their usage and ultimately, electricity costs. As the rollout continues, I commend ESB Networks for their delivery. A smart meter in every home and business in the country will help us to meet our climate targets while empowering all across society to be a part of the country's clean energy transition." Commenting, Nicholas Tarrant, Managing Director, ESB Networks, said: "We are really proud of the progress of the National Smart Metering Programme and reaching the milestone of over two million smart meters installed. I would like to thank all of our customers for their patience and for accommodating the installation process. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge all of our teams and contractor partners who have helped to get us to this significant stage, along with the many stakeholders who are involved in this key national infrastructure programme. With a smart meter, customers can take more control of their electricity usage, and we are increasingly seeing customers sign up to their ESB Networks Online Account. "This positive change empowers customers to choose the best tariff for their home by using their actual meter data on price comparison websites, making it easier to get accurate advice on which is the best tariff for them. Smart metering is also a vital component of our Networks for Net Zero Strategy that is enabling a smarter, low carbon electricity network which will ultimately benefit all customers and help support the delivery of national climate targets." Commissioner Jim Gannon, Chairperson Commission for Regulation of Utilities, said: "The successful rollout of the meter replacement programme now gives smart meter customers access to more information about their consumption, either through supplier platforms or through the ESB Networks online account. This empowers active customers to feel the full benefits that smart meters can bring. Ultimately, customers can use the information that smart meters provide to understand and reduce their electricity use. Customers can also choose a suitable smart meter tariff from their supplier, allowing them to have more control over their electricity costs. "The growth in the number of customers either accessing their usage dat...

Almost six in ten Irish businesses (57%) do not regularly update their software, while more than half (51%) fail to run regular automated data backups, indicating a worrying lack of protection against cyber criminals. Furthermore, just four in ten (39%) Irish organisations report having provided cybersecurity training to their staff, one of the most effective methods of preventing cyber incidents. These findings come from new research conducted by insurance broker and risk management firm Gallagher in Ireland. The company commissioned a survey of 300 business decision-makers across the UK and Ireland, 100 of whom are based in Ireland, to assess what critical cybersecurity tools organisations are using to protect themselves. Experts at Gallagher warn that, despite these basic gaps in protection, nine in ten (92%) Irish businesses believe they are adequately protected against cyber-attacks highlighting a disconnect between perception and reality. Commenting on the survey findings, Laura Vickers, Managing Director of Commercial Lines at Gallagher in Ireland said: "Our research suggests that there is a mismatch between how well protected businesses in Ireland believe they are against cyber attacks - and the steps they have taken to manage such threats. Regularly updating software is a very basic step but it is crucial for cybersecurity, as updates often include security patches that address vulnerabilities and this in turn could potentially prevent cyber attacks and data breaches. Yet our survey shows that only 43% of Irish businesses do this. "Automatic data backup is another crucial cybersecurity measure, as it helps protect against data loss from various incidents - such as ransomware attacks, hardware failures, and accidental deletions. Automated backups are considered more reliable and less error-prone than manual backups. Yet only half of Irish businesses run regular automated data back-ups." When asked what steps Irish organisations take to protect themselves against cyberattacks, Gallagher found: 1. 49% conduct regular automated data back-ups 2. 48% use multi-factor authentication for all applications utilising remote access 3. 43% conduct regular updates of software 4. 41% run system vulnerability scans 5. 39% provide training for all staff on cybersecurity 6. 38% use multi-factor authentication for employee email accounts 7. 36% undergo regular data back-ups Ms Vickers added: "Cybercrime is no longer a niche or occasional risk - it's a persistent, evolving threat that affects almost every organisation in some shape or form. Training and awareness are crucial when it comes to protecting an organisation against cybercrime - such training will not only equip staff with the skills they need to spot a potential cyberattack, it will also help them protect their business against such an attack. Yet less than four in ten of the businesses in our survey have trained staff in cybersecurity, which is a big oversight." Other headline findings from the Gallagher research reveal that: Almost two-thirds (64%) of Irish businesses believe they are "very protected" against a cyber-attack, with a further 28% saying they are "quite protected". At 92%, the number of Irish businesses that feel adequately protected against cyber attacks is slightly higher than in the UK, where 89% of firms indicated this to be the case. When it comes to the measures taken by firms to improve cybersecurity, UK businesses are more inclined than their Irish counterparts to run regular software updates (71% of UK businesses did so versus 43% of Irish firms) and to train all staff on cybersecurity (57% versus 39%). While numbers were still high, the businesses that feel least protected against cyberattacks are those in the professional services (75% of business decision makers said they feel safeguarded against such threats), healthcare (83%), IT/computing (83%) and financial services (89%) sectors. The businesses that feel most protected against cyber-attacks a...

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chair of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, slams former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu for setting the Hawks on a satirist. “..it's just absolutely ridiculous, ludicrous to say the least - and that they would fly down a team from Johannesburg to come and waste time when there's actual real crime to fight. So proper North Korean-style operation…” Cameron calls 40 gunmen taking control of a municipal council in Northwest a “municipal coup d'etat". He says it begs the question whether we could expect “more on a provincial and even a national level” and says “this is exactly one of the reasons we should fight against the disarming of lawfully armed citizens”. Commenting on delays in the launch of the Ad Hoc committee that has to hear the Mkhwanazi allegations of Police Capture, Cameron says it is “extremely frustrating process…we continued to see the delays move forward. We just kept on hearing more excuses for things not happening. And now we're already more than a month in since when we could have started work in the beginning of August, and we still haven't finalised the programme”. Meanwhile, he laments the “bloodbath” on the Cape Flats. “…in the top 30 stations in the Western Cape, over the last month of August, we saw over 300 people being murdered. The impression is given that the police are doing what they can, but to be honest with you, they're not. They don't have the capacity even if they wanted to.”

The Irish Management Institute (IMI) today announced the launch of the 2025 National Leadership Conference (NLC), taking place on Thursday, October 2nd at IMI's Sandyford campus, which will bring together Ireland's top business leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of leading organisations in an era of heightened volatility and disruption. This year's NLC will focus on helping leaders move from insight to impact, develop key capabilities to navigate uncertainty, and position their organisations for long-term success. Former Editor-in-chief of the Economist, Bill Emmott, is to address the 2025 Irish Management Institute (IMI) National Leadership Conference on the critical role of leadership in driving transformation in an era of heightened volatility and disruption. As the AI transformation accelerates, speakers will offer insights on how decision makers can successfully harness the power of the technology in their business; developing an organisational culture of innovation that embraces change; and cultivating and leading high-performance teams. Keynote speakers at the event include Dómhnal Slattery, former CEO of Avolon, and Enda O'Coineen, Group CEO of the Business Post Group. Other speakers at the conference include Jennifer Melia, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, Alice Mansergh, CEO at Tourism Ireland, Joe Heneghan, CEO at Revolut Europe, and Emma Redmond, General Counsel & Head of OpenAI Ireland. Commenting on the event launch, Shane O'Sullivan, CEO of the IMI, said: "Irish business leaders are navigating a highly complex environment, shaped by global volatility, a tightening domestic economy, and the accelerating pace of technological change. In this climate, it's all too easy to become consumed by immediate pressures and lose sight of the bigger picture. But long-term success depends on leaders keeping their focus on future growth, building the capabilities to adapt, and seizing opportunities even in uncertain times. "At IMI, we see that many leaders already have the insights - the real challenge lies in turning those insights into tangible impact. The National Leadership Conference is an important forum bringing together Ireland's leadership community that can help to forge the capabilities for current and future success. IMI research shows that while most leaders are aware of the key challenges facing their organisation, many are finding it difficult to identify and put in place the capabilities and strategies to overcome these obstacles and drive growth. "With an impressive line-up of national and international industry leaders, this year's conference will give Ireland's decision makers the tools to sharpen their capabilities, navigate uncertainty with confidence, and unlock future growth."

The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (43) cites a verse in the Book of Debarim (10:12) in which Moshe Rabbenu turns to Beneh Yisrael and says, "Ma Hashem Elokecha Sho'el Me'imach" – "What does Hashem your G-d ask of you?" Moshe proceeds to explain that Hashem asks that we fear Him and obey His commands. The Gemara, however, comments that the word "Ma" in this verse may be read as "Me'a" – one hundred. This means that we are required to recite 100 Berachot each day, and this is what Hashem wants from us. It seems from the Gemara that source of this obligation is the word "Ma," which is read as though it is written "Me'a." Some commentators, however, understood the Gemara's inference from this verse differently. The Shiboleh Ha'leket (Rav Sidkiya Ben Abraham Ha'rofeh, Italy, 13 th century) noted that this verse contains 100 letters, and thus the Sages found in this verse an allusion to the requirement of 100 daily blessings. In truth, this verse contains only 99 letters, but since the Gemara reads the word "Ma" as "Me'a," which contains an additional letter (an Alef), the total reaches 100. Others explain that this inference is based on the "Atbash" system, whereby a letter can be substituted with its corresponding letter at the opposite end of the alphabet (e.g. Alef is replaced by Tav; Bet is replaced by Shin, Gimmel is replaced by Resh, etc.). In the system of "Atbash," the letters that form the word "Ma" – Mem and Heh – become Yud and Sadi, which have the combined numerical value of 100, alluding to the 100 daily Berachot. Another allusion to this requirement is found in the verse in Tehillim (128:4), "Hineh Ki Chen Yeborach Gaber Yereh Hashem" ("Behold, this is how a G-d-fearing man shall be blessed"). The word "Ki" in Gematria equals 30, and the word "Chen" equals 70, for a total of 100, such that the phrase "Ki Chen Yeborach Gaber" may be read to mean that a man should recite 100 Berachot. As the Gemara inferred this requirement from a verse in the Torah, we might conclude that this constitutes a Biblical obligation, mandated by the Torah. This is, in fact, the view taken by the Ba'al Halachot Gedolot, in his listing of the 613 Misvot. Rav Shlomo Ibn Gabirol, in his "Azharot" poem which lists the 613 Biblical commands following the view of the Behag (and which we customarily chant on Shabuot), makes reference to this requirement ("U'mi'berachot Tasmid Me'at Ha'nigmarim"). By contrast, the Rambam maintained that this obligation was enacted later, by the Sages. The Sefer Ha'yere'im (Rav Eliezer of Metz, France, 1140-1237) similarly maintained that this requirement was instituted by the Ansheh Kenesset Ha'gedola ("Men of the Great Assembly") at the beginning of the Second Commonwealth. According to this view, the inference from the verse in Debarim is meant as an allusion to a law enacted by the Sages, and is not the actual source of this requirement. A third opinion is that of the Shiboleh Ha'leket and others, who maintained that this obligation was verbally transmitted as a "Halacha Le'Moshe Mi'Sinai" – a law taught to Moshe at Sinai, without having been written in the Torah. At first glance, we might question the view of the Behag and Shiboleh Ha'leket based on the Midrash's comment that it was King David who instituted the recitation of 100 Berachot each day. The Midrash relates that a devastating plague ravaged the nation during the reign of King David, killing 100 people every day. David determined that to end the plague, everyone must recite 100 daily blessings. (David later refers to himself as "Hukam Al" (Shemuel II 23:1), which could be read to mean, "the one who established 'Al,' as the word "Al" in Gematria equals 100, an allusion to the 100 Berachot which David instituted.) Seemingly, if this constitutes a Biblical obligation, or a requirement transmitted orally since the time of Moshe Rabbenu, then there would be no need for David to introduce this law. The answer, it would seem, is that the people were lax in their fulfillment of this obligation, and so David ordered the people to be more scrupulous in this regard and ensure to recite 100 blessings every day. A fascinating theory regarding the origins of this obligation was advanced by Rav Aharon Amarillo (1700-1772), in his work Peneh Aharon. He writes that Moshe Rabbenu instituted the requirement to recite 100 Berachot each day at the time of the construction of the Mishkan. The wooden planks that formed the structure of the Mishkan were inserted into "Adanim" – sockets embedded in the ground. In all, there were one hundred sockets, which together formed the base and foundation of the Mishkan. The word "Me'a," Rav Amarillo writes, is an acrostic representing the words "Me'at Adneh Ha'Mishkan" – "the one hundred sockets of the Mishkan." The 100 daily blessings were instituted to correspond to the 100 sockets of the Mishkan. The question naturally arises, what connection is there between the "Adanim" and Berachot? Why are the 100 daily blessings associated with the sockets that formed the base of the Mishkan? We can perhaps answer this question based a discussion by Rav Yosef Salant (Jerusalem, 1885-1981), in his Be'er Yosef, regarding the symbolism of the "Adanim." He writes that the Mishkan itself represents the Misvot that the Torah commands us to observe, and the sockets represent the foundation of it all, the pillar upon which the entire Torah rests. And that pillar, Rav Salant explains, is Emuna – faith in Hashem. Our faith in Hashem as the Creator who governs and controls everything is the foundation upon which all of Torah is based. If so, then we can perhaps understand the association between the "Adanim" and the Berachot that we recite. Numerous times each day, we are required to take a few moments and recite a Beracha, with Kavana (concentration), reminding ourselves of Hashem's involvement in the world and in our lives. Indeed, the word "Beracha" in Gematria equals 227 – the same Gematria as the word "Zecher" – "remembrance." The purpose of Berachot is to remind us of Hashem's existence and control over the world. And, in fact, the verse from which the Gemara derived this obligation tells us that what Hashem asks is "Le'yir'a Et Hashem Elokecha" – that we "fear" Hashem, meaning, that we live with an awareness of His unlimited power and His greatness. Accordingly, the 100 Berachot we recite each day are truly the ''foundation" of Torah life, as they serve to reinforce our Emuna. For good reason, then, the Berachot we recite are associated with the "Adanim," which comprised the foundation of the Mishkan and thus symbolize faith, the foundation of the entire Torah. A number of sources speak of the great reward which one earns through the proper fulfillment of this obligation – reciting 100 Berachot each day with concentration, and pronouncing each word correctly. (For example, one must ensure that the words "Baruch Ata" do not sound like "Baru Chata," and to recite "Melech Ha'olam," and not "Melecholam," skipping the syllable "Ha-.") The Ba'al Ha'Turim (Rabbenu Yaakob Ben Asher, 1270-1340) writes that those who fulfill this Misva are rewarded with long life. Commenting on the verse, "And you who cling to Hashem your G-d, you are all alive today" (Debarim 4:4), the Ba'al Ha'Turim observes the custom followed in some communities to add a crown in the Torah scroll above the letter Kof in the word "Ha'debekim" ("who are attached") in this verse. This crown, he explains, emphasizes that we attach ourselves to Hashem through the 100 blessings we recite each day – as the letter Kof in Gematria equals 100, and the reward for reciting these Berachot is "Haim Kulechem Hayom" – long life. The Seder Ha'yom (Rav Moshe Ben Machir, Safed, 16 th century) adds that when one recites a Beracha properly, the Beracha ascends to G-d in the heavens, and He takes the Beracha and embeds it into His "crown." Hashem's "crown," as it were, is made from the Berachot which we recite properly with Kavana. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) would advise people experiencing hardship to devote themselves to the meticulous observance of this Misva, and try to recite 100 Berachot each day with proper attention and concentration. The verse from which the Gemara inferred this obligation begins with the letter Vav ("Ve'ata Yisrael") and ends with the letter Chaf ("Nafeshecha"), and these letters have the combined numerical value of 26 – the Gematria of the divine Name of "Havaya." The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) thus writes that the fulfillment of this Misva saves a person from the dreadful punishments described in the section of the "Kelalot" ("curses") in Parashat Ki-Tabo, a section in which the Name "Havaya" appears 26 times. Moreover, this section contains 98 curses, and also includes a warning about "every ailment and every punishment which is not mentioned in this book" (Debarim 28:61) – adding another two curses, for a total of 100. We protect against these 100 curses through the recitation of 100 Berachot each day. Additionally, the Zohar Hadash teaches that we remain in exile because of our failure to properly observe this requirement to recite 100 Berachot each day. It emerges, then, that our commitment to properly fulfill this obligation helps end our long, bitter exile and bring our final redemption. The Arizal taught that the 100 daily Berachot allow us to harness the power of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet – the letters that Hashem used to create the world. The 100 daily blessings are, according to Kabbalistic teaching, associated with the 22 letters, and we thus benefit from the spiritual force of these letters by properly reciting 100 Berachot every day. The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (43b) tells that Rabbi Hiyya went out of his way to purchase special foods for Shabbat and Yom Tob in order to ensure he would recite 100 Berachot. On Shabbat and Yom Tob, the Amida prayer contains far fewer blessings than the weekday Amida prayer, making it more challenging to reach a total of 100 Berachot. Rabbi Hiyya thus made a point of having additional foods on Shabbat and Yom Tob so he would have more Berachot to recite. The Hida, in his work Mahazik Beracha (290), noted the Gemara's implication that this practice marked a special measure of piety on Rabbi Hiyya's part. The Gemara appears to laud Rabbi Hiyya for his piety – indicating that this was not strictly required. The Hida thus suggests that reciting 100 Berachot each day does not constitute a strict Halachic obligation, but is rather a worthwhile practice to follow. The consensus view among the Poskim, however, is that this is indeed a strict obligation. The Petah Ha'debir (Rav Haim Binyamin Pontremoli, Turkey, d. 1872) explains that Rabbi Hiyya was praised for fulfilling the Misva at the highest standard – going out of his way to buy special delicacies, rather than buying simpler foods. But ensuring to recite 100 blessings is a strict requirement, and not just a measure of piety. Hacham Ovadia Yosef adds that there are ways to reach a total of 100 Berachot without actually reciting Berachot, but Rabbi Hiyya chose not to rely on these leniencies, and instead went out to buy food so he could recite 100 blessings on Shabbat and Yom Tob. Indeed, the Shulhan Aruch explicitly rules that one is required to recite 100 Berachot each day. The Poskim indicate that 100 Berachot is a minimum amount, and not an exact amount. Hacham Ovadia notes that from the explanation mentioned earlier associating the 100 daily Berachot with the 100 sockets beneath the Mishkan, one might conclude that we must recite precisely 100 Berachot, and no more, but this is not the Halacha. One must recite at least 100 Berachot, but certainly may recite more. The Rambam, in Hilchot Tefila, brings a custom that some observed to count the Berachot that one recites over the course of the day. This was the practice of Hacham Ovadia Yosef on Shabbat, when it is more difficult to reach a total of 100 blessings, as he wanted to ensure to fulfill this obligation. It is told that the Brisker Rav (Rav Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, 1886-1959) would count the Berachot he recited every day, following this custom mentioned by the Rambam.

Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated: “Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It's been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, “Resonate”. There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016”.“When writing “Chosen”, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It's an album of soul food, and I've never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!”, he added.Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is his calling card. He's known as a singer's singer. Stevie Wonder once called Glenn Hughes his favorite white singer. After a nine years hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is back with “Chosen”, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin' fashion. An explosive record that offers Glenn Hughes at its absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Chuck Todd breaks down the Trump–Putin Alaska summit and the uncomfortable reality it revealed: Trump siding with Moscow while European leaders rallied behind Zelenskyy. From Putin's effortless manipulation to Trump's worldview that could leave Ukraine out in the cold, the conversation exposes how America's message to the world has shifted away from defending democracy. He also unpacks how today's GOP—reshaped by MAGA, not conservatism—has abandoned Reagan-era principles, embraced government expansion and authoritarianism, and morphed into a party unrecognizable from its past. Then, legendary sports analyst and Radio Hall of Fame inductee Colin Cowherd joins Chuck  for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond game scores. From the craft of storytelling to the evolution of “edginess” in sports media, Cowherd reflects on his path from radio guy to national voice, why podcasting feels like “radio with a cocktail,” and how he balances audience feedback with staying true to himself. Along the way, he and Chuck dig into the overlap of sports and politics, the state of modern media, and why Gen X may have lost its leadership moment.The conversation also veers into college football's money-fueled future, Major League Baseball's challenges, and the broader question of where traditional networks fit in a fractured media landscape. Whether it's the shifting power of the Big Ten and SEC, the relevance of Johnny Carson, or how podcasting creates a uniquely intimate experience, Cowherd makes clear that for him, it's always been about the joy of preparation, the art of storytelling, and the thrill of connecting with an audience.Finally, Chuck unloads takes on several stories from the world of sports and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction02:00 Putin owned the show at the Trump/Putin Alaska summit03:00 European leaders physically joining Zelenskyy to back him up04:00 Trump is more generous to Russia than Europe/Ukraine05:30 Trump's worldview leads him to back Putin07:00 Trump doesn't view Zelenskyy as an ally08:00 Putin tells Trump what he wants to hear09:15 Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle 10:15 Trump's administration is divided over Russia12:30 Trump sent a message that America doesn't defend democracy13:45 Today's Republican party is NOT the “party of Reagan”17:30 The Republican party has MAGA in its DNA, not conservatism18:30 Trump is expanding government power, not shrinking it20:30 If Trump rebranded the party as MAGA, the GOP would go along22:15 The GOP has been changed for a generation24:15 Other than the name, the Republican party is gone25:30 Steve Witkoff is in over his head28:00 Colin Cowherd joins the Chuck ToddCast! 29:30 Commenting on sports and politics without sensationalizing 30:45 The importance of educating your audience 32:00 Loving the process and preparation 33:30 Colin always thought of himself as a radio guy 35:15 Did you want to be a play by play guy? 36:30 Colin's journey to a national platform 37:45 Regardless of the medium, storytelling is what matters 39:15 The evolution of "edginess" in sports broadcasting 40:30 Podcasting is radio with a cocktail, is looser 41:45 When did you get over caring what the public thought of you? 42:45 Critics and audience feedback matter 44:30 Favorite books - Johnny Carson 47:30 Relevance of major networks in new media landscape 49:15 FOX has been a perfect fit for Colin 50:15 Colin's corporate partners have let him be himself 51:45 Will Roger Goodell make sure over the air TV gets NFL rights? 53:15 Linear TV viewers are boomers 54:30 Do you consider yourself Gen X or boomer? 55:30 Gen X lost the leadership fight 56:30 Sportscasters like Stephen A. venturing into politics 57:45 The joy has been sucked out of modern politics 59:45 The media has gotten more neurotic as it's gotten younger 1:00:30 When people say "the media" who are they referring to? 1:03:00 Traditional media had more guardrails than new media 1:04:45 COVID dinged traditional media's credibility in Colin's eyes 1:06:30 The siloing of information in the modern ecosystem 1:09:00 Colin's first sports love was college football 1:11:30 Miami won with many coaches, 2000/2001 teams were insane 1:13:15 Miami, USC and Texas are the glamour teams in college football 1:14:00 Non-profit hospital systems fund many of the best football programs 1:15:30 Big Ten schools are massive and flush with cash 1:16:15 What does college football look like in 5 years? 1:18:00 The Big Ten and SEC are diminishing the rest of the schools 1:19:30 College football was lacking in great games before realignment 1:21:00 Chances there's no baseball season in 2027? 1:22:30 The disparity in money between team owners 1:24:45 MLB's star players are in the right cities 1:25:30 Does the MLB need to contract and have fewer teams? 1:26:45 The playoffs are the equalizer in baseball 1:28:30 Baseball needs some level of a salary cap 1:29:15 Any advice on getting into a radio mindset for podcasting? 1:31:15 Podcasts are a more intimate experience for the audience1:32:45 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Colin Cowherd 1:33:15 Spike Lee's comments on the LeBron/MJ GOAT debate 1:36:00 Player prop bets shouldn't be legal 1:39:45 Big Ten's new college football playoff plan is great 1:45:00 Nats split with Phillies, giving fans hope 1:46:30 Ask Chuck 1:46:45 A pathway for older people to get into local journalism? 1:50:15 Could the Republicans postpone elections? 1:53:45 Would there be more criticism if America didn't use nukes in WW2?
