During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! Last week, we introduced Oracle GoldenGate and its capabilities, and also spoke about GoldenGate 23ai. In today's episode, we'll talk about the various iterations of Oracle GoldenGate since its inception. And we'll also take a look at some new features and the Oracle GoldenGate product family. 00:57 Lois: And we have Nick Wagner back with us. Nick is a Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate at Oracle. Hi Nick! I think the last time we had an Oracle University course was when Oracle GoldenGate 12c was out. I'm sure there's been a lot of advancements since then. Can you walk us through those? Nick: GoldenGate 12.3 introduced the microservices architecture. GoldenGate 18c introduced support for Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Autonomous Transaction Processing Databases. In GoldenGate 19c, we added the ability to do cross endian remote capture for Oracle, making it easier to set up the GoldenGate OCI service to capture from environments like Solaris, Spark, and HP-UX and replicate into the Cloud. Also, GoldenGate 19c introduced a simpler process for upgrades and installation of GoldenGate where we released something called a unified build. This means that when you install GoldenGate for a particular database, you don't need to worry about the database version when you install GoldenGate. Prior to this, you would have to install a version-specific and database-specific version of GoldenGate. So this really simplified that whole process. In GoldenGate 23ai, which is where we are now, this really is a huge release.  02:16 Nikita: Yeah, we covered some of the distributed AI features and high availability environments in our last episode. But can you give us an overview of everything that's in the 23ai release? I know there's a lot to get into but maybe you could highlight just the major ones? Nick: Within the AI and streaming environments, we've got interoperability for database vector types, heterogeneous capture and apply as well. Again, this is not just replication between Oracle-to-Oracle vector or Postgres to Postgres vector, it is heterogeneous just like the rest of GoldenGate. The entire UI has been redesigned and optimized for high speed. And so we have a lot of customers that have dozens and dozens of extracts and replicats and processes running and it was taking a long time for the UI to refresh those and to show what's going on within those systems. So the UI has been optimized to be able to handle those environments much better. We now have the ability to call database functions directly from call map. And so when you do transformation with GoldenGate, we have about 50 or 60 built-in transformation routines for string conversion, arithmetic operation, date manipulation. But we never had the ability to directly call a database function. 03:28 Lois: And now we do? Nick: So now you can actually call that database function, database stored procedure, database package, return a value and that can be used for transformation within GoldenGate. We have integration with identity providers, being able to use token-based authentication and integrate in with things like Azure Active Directory and your other single sign-on for the GoldenGate product itself. Within Oracle 23ai, there's a number of new features. One of those cool features is something called lock-free reservation columns. So this allows you to have a row, a single row within a table and you can identify a column within that row that's like an inventory column. And you can have multiple different users and multiple different transactions all updating that column within that same exact row at that same time. So you no longer have row-level locking for these reservation columns. And it allows you to do things like shopping carts very easily. If I have 500 widgets to sell, I'm going to let any number of transactions come in and subtract from that inventory column. And then once it gets below a certain point, then I'll start enforcing that row-level locking. 04:43 Lois: That's really cool… Nick: The one key thing that I wanted to mention here is that because of the way that the lock-free reservations work, you can have multiple transactions open on the same row. This is only supported for Oracle to Oracle. You need to have that same lock-free reservation data type and availability on that target system if GoldenGate is going to replicate into it. 05:05 Nikita: Are there any new features related to the diagnosability and observability of GoldenGate?  Nick: We've improved the AWR reports in Oracle 23ai. There's now seven sections that are specific to Oracle GoldenGate to allow you to really go in and see exactly what the GoldenGate processes are doing and how they're behaving inside the database itself. And there's a Replication Performance Advisor package inside that database, and that's been integrated into the Web UI as well. So now you can actually get information out of the replication advisor package in Oracle directly from the UI without having to log into the database and try to run any database procedures to get it. We've also added the ability to support a per-PDB Extract.  So in the past, when GoldenGate would run on a multitenant database, a multitenant database in Oracle, all the redo data from any pluggable database gets sent to that one redo stream. And so you would have to configure GoldenGate at the container or root level and it would be able to access anything at any PDB. Now, there's better security and better performance by doing what we call per-PDB Extract. And this means that for a single pluggable database, I can have an extract that runs at that database level that's going to capture information just from that pluggable database. 06:22 Lois And what about non-Oracle environments, Nick? Nick: We've also enhanced the non-Oracle environments as well. For example, in Postgres, we've added support for precise instantiation using Postgres snapshots. This eliminates the need to handle collisions when you're doing Postgres to Postgres replication and initial instantiation. On the GoldenGate for big data side, we've renamed that product more aptly to distributed applications in analytics, which is really what it does, and we've added a whole bunch of new features here too. The ability to move data into Databricks, doing Google Pub/Sub delivery. We now have support for XAG within the GoldenGate for distributed applications and analytics. What that means is that now you can follow all of our MAA best practices for GoldenGate for Oracle, but it also works for the DAA product as well, meaning that if it's running on one node of a cluster and that node fails, it'll restart itself on another node in the cluster. We've also added the ability to deliver data to Redis, Google BigQuery, stage and merge functionality for better performance into the BigQuery product. And then we've added a completely new feature, and this is something called streaming data and apps and we're calling it AsyncAPI and CloudEvent data streaming. It's a long name, but what that means is that we now have the ability to publish changes from a GoldenGate trail file out to end users. And so this allows through the Web UI or through the REST API, you can now come into GoldenGate and through the distributed applications and analytics product, actually set up a subscription to a GoldenGate trail file. And so this allows us to push data into messaging environments, or you can simply subscribe to changes and it doesn't have to be the whole trail file, it can just be a subset. You can specify exactly which tables and you can put filters on that. You can also set up your topologies as well. So, it's a really cool feature that we've added here. 08:26 Nikita: Ok, you've given us a lot of updates about what GoldenGate can support. But can we also get some specifics? Nick: So as far as what we have, on the Oracle Database side, there's a ton of different Oracle databases we support, including the Autonomous Databases and all the different flavors of them, your Oracle Database Appliance, your Base Database Service within OCI, your of course, Standard and Enterprise Edition, as well as all the different flavors of Exadata, are all supported with GoldenGate. This is all for capture and delivery. And this is all versions as well. GoldenGate supports Oracle 23ai and below. We also have a ton of non-Oracle databases in different Cloud stores. On an non-Oracle side, we support everything from application-specific databases like FairCom DB, all the way to more advanced applications like Snowflake, which there's a vast user base for that. We also support a lot of different cloud stores and these again, are non-Oracle, nonrelational systems, or they can be relational databases. We also support a lot of big data platforms and this is part of the distributed applications and analytics side of things where you have the ability to replicate to different Apache environments, different Cloudera environments. We also support a number of open-source systems, including things like Apache Cassandra, MySQL Community Edition, a lot of different Postgres open source databases along with MariaDB. And then we have a bunch of streaming event products, NoSQL data stores, and even Oracle applications that we support. So there's absolutely a ton of different environments that GoldenGate supports. There are additional Oracle databases that we support and this includes the Oracle Metadata Service, as well as Oracle MySQL, including MySQL HeatWave. Oracle also has Oracle NoSQL Spatial and Graph and times 10 products, which again are all supported by GoldenGate. 10:23 Lois: Wow, that's a lot of information! Nick: One of the things that we didn't really cover was the different SaaS applications, which we've got like Cerner, Fusion Cloud, Hospitality, Retail, MICROS, Oracle Transportation, JD Edwards, Siebel, and on and on and on.  And again, because of the nature of GoldenGate, it's heterogeneous. Any source can talk to any target. And so it doesn't have to be, oh, I'm pulling from Oracle Fusion Cloud, that means I have to go to an Oracle Database on the target, not necessarily.  10:51 Lois: So, there's really a massive amount of flexibility built into the system.  11:00 Unlock the power of AI Vector Search with our new course and certification. Get more accurate search results, handle complex datasets easily, and supercharge your data-driven decisions. From now through May 15, 2025, we are waiving the certification exam fee (valued at $245). Visit mylearn.oracle.com to enroll. 11:26 Nikita: Welcome back! Now that we've gone through the base product, what other features or products are in the GoldenGate family itself, Nick? Nick: So we have quite a few. We've kind of touched already on GoldenGate for Oracle databases and non-Oracle databases. We also have something called GoldenGate for Mainframe, which right now is covered under the GoldenGate for non-Oracle, but there is a licensing difference there. So that's something to be aware of. We also have the OCI GoldenGate product. We are announcing and we have announced that OCI GoldenGate will also be made available as part of the Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@ Google Cloud partnerships.  And then you'll be able to use that vendor's cloud credits to actually pay for the OCI GoldenGate product. One of the cool things about this is it will have full feature parity with OCI GoldenGate running in OCI. So all the same features, all the same sources and targets, all the same topologies be able to migrate data in and out of those clouds at will, just like you do with OCI GoldenGate today running in OCI.  We have Oracle GoldenGate Free.  This is a completely free edition of GoldenGate to use. It is limited on the number of platforms that it supports as far as sources and targets and the size of the database.  12:45 Lois: But it's a great way for developers to really experience GoldenGate without worrying about a license, right? What's next, Nick? Nick: We have GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics, which was formerly called GoldenGate for big data, and that allows us to do all the streaming. That's also where the GoldenGate AsyncAPI integration is done. So in order to publish the GoldenGate trail files or allow people to subscribe to them, it would be covered under the Oracle GoldenGate Distributed Applications and Analytics license. We also have OCI GoldenGate Marketplace, which allows you to run essentially the on-premises version of GoldenGate but within OCI. So a little bit more flexibility there. It also has a hub architecture. So if you need that 99.99% availability, you can get it within the OCI Marketplace environment. We have GoldenGate for Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, which used to be called Oracle Enterprise Manager. And this allows you to use Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to get all the statistics and details about GoldenGate. So all the reporting information, all the analytics, all the statistics, how fast GoldenGate is replicating, what's the lag, what's the performance of each of the processes, how much data am I sending across a network. All that's available within the plug-in. We also have Oracle GoldenGate Veridata. This is a nice utility and tool that allows you to compare two databases, whether or not GoldenGate is running between them and actually tell you, hey, these two systems are out of sync. And if they are out of sync, it actually allows you to repair the data too. 14:25 Nikita: That's really valuable…. Nick: And it does this comparison without locking the source or the target tables. The other really cool thing about Veridata is it does this while there's data in flight. So let's say that the GoldenGate lag is 15 or 20 seconds and I want to compare this table that has 10 million rows in it. The Veridata product will go out, run its comparison once. Once that comparison is done the first time, it's then going to have a list of rows that are potentially out of sync. Well, some of those rows could have been moved over or could have been modified during that 10 to 15 second window. And so the next time you run Veridata, it's actually going to go through. It's going to check just those rows that were potentially out of sync to see if they're really out of sync or not. And if it comes back and says, hey, out of those potential rows, there's two out of sync, it'll actually produce a script that allows you to resynchronize those systems and repair them. So it's a very cool product.  15:19 Nikita: What about GoldenGate Stream Analytics? I know you mentioned it in the last episode, but in the context of this discussion, can you tell us a little more about it?  Nick: This is the ability to essentially stream data from a GoldenGate trail file, and they do a real time analytics on it. And also things like geofencing or real-time series analysis of it.  15:40 Lois: Could you give us an example of this? Nick: If I'm working in tracking stock market information and stocks, it's not really that important on how much or how far down a stock goes. What's really important is how quickly did that stock rise or how quickly did that stock fall. And that's something that GoldenGate Stream Analytics product can do. Another thing that it's very valuable for is the geofencing. I can have an application on my phone and I can track where the user is based on that application and all that information goes into a database. I can then use the geofencing tool to say that, hey, if one of those users on that app gets within a certain distance of one of my brick-and-mortar stores, I can actually send them a push notification to say, hey, come on in and you can order your favorite drink just by clicking Yes, and we'll have it ready for you. And so there's a lot of things that you can do there to help upsell your customers and to get more revenue just through GoldenGate itself. And then we also have a GoldenGate Migration Utility, which allows customers to migrate from the classic architecture into the microservices architecture. 16:44 Nikita: Thanks Nick for that comprehensive overview.  Lois: In our next episode, we'll have Nick back with us to talk about commonly used terminology and the GoldenGate architecture.

On Wednesday's Morning Focus, we were joined by Cathal Crowe. The Meelick Fianna Fáil TD was refuting reports he called for the reinstatement of Shannon Airport Stopover Rule. The rule, which compelled transatlantic flights to the Republic of Ireland to stop at the Clare airport, was ended in 2008, following the EU-US ‘Open Skies' agreement. According to the trade publication Travel Extra, Deputy Crowe had recently called for legislation demanding that flights stop at Shannon, in line with the “stopover” rule. This led to the CEO the DAA, Kenny Jacobs describing any resurrection of the rule as “bizarre”. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Owner of Travel Extra, Eoghan Corry.

A Clare TD is refuting reports he called for the reinstatement of the “stopover” rule at Shannon Airport.

Kayal, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS is the founder, president, and CEO of Kayal Orthopaedic Center located in northern New Jersey and New York. Dr. Kayal is the husband of Kim S. Kayal, RN and father of their six children: Katlyn Madeline, Michaela Noel, Robert Joseph, Shannon Isabella, Mia Grace, and Luke Christopher. Dr. Kayal is the proud grandfather (or "Gido") of their newest family addition, Hope Madeline.  During the last twenty-five years, Dr. Kayal built one of the most successful multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practices in the United States, and in 2021, in one of the most substantial health care transactions ever to close, he partnered with RWJBarnabas Health, the largest and most comprehensive health care system in New Jersey.  Dr. Kayal considers it an honor, pleasure, blessing and privilege to help restore an active lifestyle and joyful life to each of his patients. He gives all his thanks to God for his talents and skills and prays his practice will always be used to honor, glorify, and exalt his awesome Triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  Specializing in partial and total joint replacements, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Kayal knows the importance of staying abreast of the latest technologies. By keeping his finger on the pulse of innovation, he can provide beneficial treatments to help patients recover quickly. “What you'll find here aren't just state-of-the-art facilities. It's an entire philosophy,” says Dr. Kayal. With both New Jersey and New York locations, the award-winning practice prides itself on offering advanced orthopaedic treatments in a compassionate environment. As a patient, “you aren't just a number,” says Dr. Kayal. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life. Besides the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, Dr. Kayal's practice includes centers for Pain & Spine, Rheumatology, Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, bone metabolism, and advanced, high-resolution, cross-sectional medical imaging. These facilities allow him to provide a wider range of musculoskeletal treatments and therapies. “I believe our patients do their homework and choose this practice because of our training, skill, experience, and innovation,” Dr. Kayal says. “But what they also find from us is patience, compassion, and a genuine concern and commitment to each and every one of them.”  The Kayal Orthopaedic Center is also dedicated to staying abreast of the latest treatments and technologies in each specialist's field of expertise. Years ago, Dr. Kayal and his team of orthopaedic surgeons began using the Stryker Mako robot, a sophisticated instrument that allows for greater precision and control during partial and total hip and knee replacement surgeries. This customized joint replacement technology, using the Mako robot, in combination with high-resolution cross-sectional medical CT scan imaging and Stryker's proprietary software, ensures accurate sizing, placement, fit, balance, alignment, and rotation of installed components, much akin to being fitted with a "tailor-made suit." At Kayal Orthopaedic Center, this Mako robotic technology has also been used in combination with the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) for hip replacement surgery. “You can be certain that the Kayal team has done its homework and is ready to provide our patients with the best treatment approaches available,” says Dr. Kayal.  The philosophy of Kayal Orthopaedic Center is to provide every patient with the pain-free, active lifestyle they deserve. With decades of orthopaedic surgery experience, Dr. Robert Kayal and his staff provide comprehensive care that gives patients the one-on-one attention they need. Kayal Orthopaedic Center uses a patient-focused approach that has a proven track record of success. Dr. Kayal has built his practice around highly trained surgeons and specialists, innovative treatments, and state-of-the-art equipment. “Our philosophy is that the most beneficial service is the one that offers the best outcome for each unique patient,” Dr. Kayal says. “We offer everything our patients may need under one roof,” says Dr. Kayal.  As of November 2024, Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS has 666 five-star ratings on healthgrades.com. On the practice's website, Dr. Kayal says patients aren't just a number and that the office's patient experience is second to none. “We're focused on building lifelong relationships, accelerating rehabilitation, and inspiring quality of life,” says Dr. Kayal.  Kayal Orthopaedic Center is a proud sponsor and supporter of many local non-profit organizations. Furthermore, the office also works to support local and state police departments by sponsoring golf outings and providing meals to the men and women in blue. Also, as a preceptorship for many physician assistant educational programs in both NY and NJ, Kayal Orthopaedic Center offers shadowing opportunities for students as part of its commitment to the next generation of healthcare providers.

An historic storm set to hit our shores tonight what will it mean for your electricity, transport and flights? Pat discuss all with Graeme McQueen, Head of Media Relations, DAA, Siobhan Wynne Regional Manager with ESB Networks and also Jeremy Ryan Director of Public Transport Services National Transport Authority.

Fingal County Council says it will not consider an application to lift the passenger cap that limits numbers at Dublin Airport to 32 million a year, saying the application from the DAA is invalid. Speaking to Pat this morning with more on this was Councilor Cathal Boland, former mayor and deputy mayor of Fingal Co. Council and former Vice President of the Airport Regional Council of Europe.

After all the craziness this summer at Dublin Airport, a seat cap for next year is to be introduced. However, the DAA, the authority overseeing Dublin Airport, is not happy about it - and their CEO Kenny Jacobs says it will cost the economy hundreds of millions.He joins Kieran to discuss his thinking.

Nidhi Bouri, DAA at USAID Bureau for Global Health, joined us to speak to the U.S. response to the dangerous mpox outbreak (clade 1b) centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, boosted by President Biden's commitment at UNGA to $500m in support, including 1 million vaccine doses. Much better data is urgently needed on the needs for diagnostics and vaccines. Tensions remain high among Africa CDC, WHO, and other key institutions with proven response capability, most notably Gavi, UNICEF and the Global Fund. Much is not known about modes of transmission, and the durability and efficacy of the Jynneos vaccine for clade 1b. As the virus inevitably lands in the United States, communications will be critical. Some important progress was seen in the High Level Meeting on anti-microbial resistance. The Marburg outbreak in Rwanda is of acute concern for multiple reasons: no vaccine, little testing, little knowledge of the pattern of spread. It is crunch time, as multiple replenishments converge. “Let's be clear, there is not enough money.”

The United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative, will officially launch its Ireland network this November at an exclusive event for senior representatives from business, government, academia, and civil society. The launch aligns with new sustainability compliance regulations in Ireland, aimed at accelerating meaningful and sustainable business actions. The network will be officially launched by Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Global Compact, on the afternoon of 28th November at Dublin's Exo Building. High-level representatives from organisations across the Irish corporate sector will gather to explore how ambitious change can be implemented for a more sustainable future in Ireland. Founded in 2000, the Global Compact Network aims to accelerate and scale the impact of businesses by upholding ten key principles covering human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. To date, 20,000 members across 160 nations have committed to these universal principles, grounded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, conducting business responsibly, and taking strategic actions through collaboration and innovation. Ireland needs forward-thinking leaders from the private sector committed to prioritising sustainability, says Nessa Whelan, United Nations Global Compact Ireland Country Manager to ensure a future where the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are achieved. "The official launch of the network in Ireland marks a groundbreaking milestone towards driving positive sustainable change. New members can expect to join like-minded organisations that will advance their business beyond mere regulatory compliance, towards sustainable actions that add true value through longevity and profitability." The UNGC launch coincides with the introduction of the Forward Faster initiative in the Irish market - a strategy urging expedited action by Irish businesses to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by the 2030 deadline. With only 15% of the goals currently on track, accelerated and purposeful change from the public and private sectors is essential. With national and international keynote speakers, the event will lead and inspire conversations around some of the most pressing Forward Faster themes for Irish businesses, such as gender equality, living wage, climate action, and water resilience. "We encourage Irish businesses interested in joining an initiative focused on actionable sustainable change to be a part of this thriving community," says Nessa Whelan. Upon launch, new registrants of the Global Compact will join existing Irish members accelerating their impact, including An Post, DAA, Smurfit Kappa, Ryanair, ICON plc, and AIB. The Network launch event is by invitation only, but requests for attendance are being considered. UNGC Ireland invites like-minded business leaders to express their interest by contacting ireland@unglobalcompact.org. See more stories here.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 5 stories for you: Drone ban updates, Green Day concert paused for drone flight, FLIR and AirData partner, 3 men in a stolen vehicle were found using a drone, and SkyeBrowse updates everyone to Lite Processing! First up, The house has voted to pass the Countering CCP Drones Act. This is a setback that was expected but it changes little. Representative Stefanik stated during her speech “Over the last seven years, the US government has publicly confirmed time and time again that DJI drones are being used to collect information on US critical infrastructure and pose significant risks to US national security,” Not sure where the evidence is, but we'd love to see it. The Countering CCP drones act was also passed with the House NDAA, so the bill has already passed before. Both bills still must still go through the Senate prior to landing on the President's desk. It doesn't matter what vertical you're in, now is a great time to weigh in on this issue, and educate your senators and representatives. If you're having trouble with where to start, head over to the DAA website, which is linked below. Next up, Green Day rushed off stage this week after security spotted a drone in the stadium. Detroit Police confirmed the interruption to the show was due to a drone and that the operator was located and detained. Currently, it's unclear what drone was flying or how close it was to the band. An important note was that this did not qualify for a stadium TFR, and no TFR was in place. This brings up an interesting situation where a Part 107 pilot could legally operate over the stadium with a category 1 or 2 drone. We'll keep you updated when we see more. Third, FLIR and AirData UAV have partnered to provide SIRAS flight tracking. If you're unfamiliar with the FLIR SIRAS, it's a quadcopter with a 640x512 FLIR Hadron series sensor designed for industry and public safety. The integration with AirData uses SIRAS's offline log-export and isn't connected to the internet. For users of the SIRAS, AirData is a great tool and one that we use for tracking our aircraft's flights, battery cycles, and determining what when wrong if things do. Fourth, a shout out to some students from Gaston County Police. Gaston County police used a drone this week to assist in recovering a stolen vehicle and arresting 3 men who fled the stolen vehicle after a car chase. The drone was utilized after officers lost sight of the vehicle when it drove into a soybean field. A Gaston County Police Officer was part of the drone unit, and launched to determine where the vehicle went. Once the police officer found the vehicle, they began to track the suspects, locating them in the field attempting to evade police. All 3 suspects were taken into custody without incident. Great use of the drone! Next, SkyeBrowse has updated everyone on the Freemium plan to Lite processing! This will increase the quality of all models from folks with free accounts. If you're unfamiliar with SkyeBrowse, the program uses video from nearly anything to make 3D models. You can sign up for free and start making models immediately. Models can be accessed on any device and can be easily marked up for measurement and shared as needed. And to wrap up, check out this clip for something coming next week… https://dronexl.co/2024/09/10/us-house-votes-to-ban-new-dji-drones/ https://dronexl.co/2024/09/05/green-day-interrupted-mid-song-by-drone-threat-at-detroit-concert/ https://www.flir.com/suas/ https://airdata.com/about https://www.instagram.com/p/C_jIAlFTnbf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&img_index=1

The United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative, will officially launch its Ireland Country Network this November at an exclusive event. The event will gather senior representatives from business, government, academia, and civil society to explore how the Irish corporate sector can implement ambitious changes towards a more sustainable future. This launch coincides with the introduction of new sustainability compliance regulations in Ireland aimed at encouraging meaningful and sustainable business practices. The event will be headlined by Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Global Compact, and will take place on the afternoon of 28th November 2024 at Dublin's Exo Building. High-level representatives from prominent Irish organisations, including An Post, DAA, Smurfit Kappa, Ryanair, ICON plc, and AIB, will also be in attendance to discuss how businesses can align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Founded in 2000, the UN Global Compact calls on companies worldwide to align their operations and strategies with Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. To date, over 24,000 signatories across 160 nations have committed to responsible business conduct and strategic actions that advance the SDGs. In Ireland, the focus is on accelerating corporate engagement beyond regulatory compliance towards sustainability-driven actions that deliver true value through profitability and longevity. Nessa Whelan, United Nations Global Compact Ireland Country Manager, highlights the significance of the launch: "The official launch of the Network in Ireland marks a groundbreaking milestone towards driving positive sustainable change. New participants can expect to join like-minded organisations that will advance their business beyond mere compliance, creating lasting value and fostering profitability through sustainability." The launch of the Forward Faster initiative will also be announced at the event. This global platform provides businesses with clear guidance on where they can make the most significant and rapid impact towards the 2030 SDG deadline. With only 17% of the Goals currently on track, the initiative stresses the urgent need for both public and private sectors to accelerate purposeful change. Attendance at the Network launch event is by invitation only, but requests for attendance are being considered. Like-minded business leaders interested in making a meaningful contribution to sustainability are encouraged to express their interest by contacting ireland@unglobalcompact.org.

The Shannon Airport Group insists it has the space available to cater for more airlines, flights and destinations amid a growing capacity crunch at Dublin Airport. It comes as the DAA is warning the possibility of breaching it's controversial passenger cap this Winter is imminent. The Dublin Airport Authority currently awaits the verdict of a planning application to Fingal County Council that would increase the passenger cap to 40 million a year, until then the airport is restricted to a maximum of 32 million passengers. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has been among the most vocal and is now blaming the cap for a steep increase in plane fares from Dublin to London, which could cost passengers up to 500 euro this Christmas. Minister of State at the Department of Transport, James Lawless will meet O'Leary next week and has indicated Shannon Airport can play an important role in ensuring Irish air traffic continues to grow in the short to medium term. CEO of the Shannon Airport Group Mary Considine insists they're well equipped and in the most suitable location to take on more capacity and meet market demand. A local councillor, meanwhile, believes the government's failure to maximise capacity at Shannon Airport is an own goal for the Irish economy. Last year, Shannon Airport only handled 5% of Irish air traffic, yet still contributed almost €4bn to the national economy , meanwhile Dublin handled 85% of last year's flights. Shannon also is just one of two European airports along with Dublin to offer US pre-clearance and boasts the longest runway in the country and is located adjacent to the M18 motorway. Shannon Sinn Féín Councillor Donna McGettigan believes the state is not doing enough to maximise opportunities at Shannon, which she claims is curtailing tourism, employment and economic growth across the country.

Kenny Jacobs, CEO of DAA, discusses the passenger cap in place at Dublin Airport.

First up is an update to the Chinese drone ban discussion. The Senate version of the 2025 NDAA was released this week, without the Countering CCP Drones Act language in the bill. This is a great win, but we can't let up. The NDAA is an act that must pass every year and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said that Congress plans to put together a China-focused bill later this year. Please continue to educate and talk to your Senators and Representatives. Let them know that this and other legislation that would ban Chinese drones is not okay. To see how you can get involved, visit the DAA's website! Next up, a drone show in Washington State lost 55 drones due to a malfunction. Starlight Drone Shows was scheduled to perform a drone show over Angle Lake, WA on the 4th of July. Despite initial GPS locks, 55 drones out of 200 lost GPS and landed in the lake. None of the drones flew away or went into the Geofence, showing that programming worked as expected. The remainder of the show was cancelled and 145 other drones were successfully recovered. Starlight was in charge of the Sun N Fun show that we attended in April in Lakeland Florida with over 500 drones, which went flawlessly for 2 nights during the show. We'll keep you updated if we see more about what caused the GPS loss. Third up, Freefly has released Astro Prime! The new Astro Prime has a 28-minute flight time with a Sony LR1, a new battery system guaranteed to 500 cycles, and a pro controller. Payloads include a Sony LR1 as a main camera with additional payloads including Wiris cameras, Sony Alpha 7R-IV, Green Valley Lidar, Sentra Multispectral cameras, Internal labs LiDAR, Hovermap LiDAR, Rock Robotic LiDAR, Micasense multispectral cameras, and more. The Astro Prime is also NDAA Compliant and Blue UAS, made in Woodinville, WA. Pricing for the Astro Prime is $27,000 for the aircraft only while a kit including batteries, controller, and aircraft is $32,250. Pretty cool aircraft from Freefly! Last up, Watts's Innovations appears to have shut down and is "Shifting to new horizons". It's unclear what the new horizons are, but we wish the folks over at Watt's Innovations the very best!

Liz Dillon joins Paul for Series 4, Part 2 of the Downtown Ashland Association and we are so happy to have her on the podcast! Liz is a native of Florida and grew up on a farm in a small community so it is no wonder that she told Paul that she loves Ashland. Liz and her husband have settled in Hanover and when doing so, Liz saw an opportunity to live out her dream and follow a true passion that she has had since she was a little girl and that was to have a bakery business. Along with her own hard work and planning, she went through the DAA Entrepreneurial Program and she won the Center Street Pitch Competition sponsored by the DAA. Paul learned the meaning behind the name as well as the type of baking Liz does which is very unique. She told Paul about what she's doing now and they also discussed her future plans for Bravo Bakery. They finished by talking about what Liz likes to do when she's not baking and about her three kids and one very special grand daughter who will be three next month.

Barry Farmer comes to the podcast via a connection with Louise Keeton and the Downtown Ashland Association. Paul learned about what Barry knew about Ashland as a young person growing up in the city. They talked about his upbringing and how he was raised by his grandmother and what she meant to him. He discussed the close relationships he had with his siblings growing up even though they were living in separate houses as children. Barry told Paul about his volunteer work and how it has led to many opportunities including a job. They had a lengthy discussion about Barry's three sons who he adopted and raised as a single father. They talked about Barry's journey of adopting each boy and there was one unique thing about Barry and his sons that was discovered during their conversation. They also talked about Barry's radio show, how it is growing (it's syndicated!) as well as its relationship to Ashland and the DAA.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have four stories for you this week: NDAA Markup, Commercial UAV Workshops, WingtraCloud, and two new courses from Pilot Institute! Now is the time to make our voices heard in the US Senate. The Senate Armed Services Committee is considering its version of the National Defense Authorization Act. The House's NDAA bill includes the Countering CCP Drones Act, which would ban DJI Drones.  It's also important to ensure the Drones for First Responders Act or the Countering CCP Drones Act isn't included in the bill's language. As a reminder, the Countering CCP Drones Act plans to ban Chinese drones by revoking to preventing new FCC approvals, which would affect EVERYONE, including public safety agencies. The DFR Act would ban Chinese drones in 5 years after creating an incremental tariff, which would affect everyone, including public safety agencies that would lose financial aid after 5 years and have to pay for expensive drones without subsidies. The Senate will vote on their version of the act next week, between June 11th and June 13th, so the time to act is NOW.  Please visit the DAA's website to contact your senator!  https://droneadvocacyalliance.com/ Next up, Commercial UAV Expo is around the corner! I'll be on a panel with Desiree Ekstein, Jared, Janacek, Vic Moss, Kenji Sugahara, and Amy T Wiegand discussing Regulations and Compliance, BVLOS, Airspace Management, Remote I, Operations Over People and Vehicles, and more.  The talk is on Tuesday, September 3rd from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM and I hope to see you there!  https://www.expouav.com/session/now-beyond-2024-essentials-for-every-drone-pilot/ Last up, Wingtra released WingtraCLOUD this week!  WingtraCLOUD is a new software solution for flight planning, site-based file organization, 3D Planning, and coordinate systems.  The primary goal of the new software is to streamline surveyors' workflows and enable more data capture.  It doesn't look like WingtraCLOUD currently integrates an image processing system but integrations are available according to Wingtra's website.  We'll keep you updated if we see more!  https://wingtra.com/wingtracloud/ Lastly, two new courses: LiDAR and Search and Rescue. Have a great week, and we'll see you on Monday for the Live!

On this week's episode of Inside Business, host Ciarán Hancock is joined in studio by aviation entrepreneur Ulick McEvaddy. With his brother Des, Ulick has established a successful aviation business over the past 40 years called Omega. He and Des also own a large parcel of land beside Dublin Airport. Along with two other landowners, it amounts to 260 acres and was put on the market for sale in the middle of last year. With no sale agreed, they subsequently submitted a concept plan to Fingal County Council to develop the site for a third passenger terminal at Dublin Airport, as part of a €2.2 billion development. He argues that for the same money as DAA is proposing to spend on its own expansion plan, his proposal would allow the airport to expand by an additional 20 million passengers while solving road access issues and providing a platform for Dublin to become a hub for sustainable aviation fuel. Crucially, however, he doesn't have access to the runway, something that was an issue for bidders in the land sale process. You'll hear Ulick address that issue and explain why his plan isn't, as many believe, pie in the sky. Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast.

Why is it triggering for black female entrepreneurs to sell an intangible product? There is a distinct discomfort around black women selling brain power and thought leadership services like coaching. Selling a product or physical labor is more accepted, but even that type of entrepreneurship comes with a disclaimer as being a side hustle or weekend job.There is a prevalent disregard for the value of black female entrepreneurs that is deeply rooted in systemic racism and our role as currency. In the history of the world, innovation has come from black people. But we have an ingrained history of being the workhorses. It's time to normalize exchanging something other than our physical labor.We need to make that identity shift and embrace being the root of innovation across all communities.Listen to this empowering conversation amongst successful black female entrepreneurs, doctors, and thought leaders about embracing your value, leaning into coaching, and the power of establishing your identity in your profession.Connect with Dr. Dr. Kimberly: @drkimberlybConnect with Dr. Dr. Sheneka: @theblkdoctorConnect with Dr. Daa'iyah: @capitaldynastyLet's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website
