Podcasts about EES

In Wat blijft audiodoc van Human maakt filosoof en programmamaker Stine Jensen een aflevering over de Deense filosoof Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard, behalve filosoof ook theoloog en cultuurcriticus, geldt als de wegbereider van het existentialisme. Belangrijk thema in zijn filosofie is het christelijk geloof, alhoewel hij constant ruzie had met de staatskerk, centraal in zijn denken is het begrip individuele vrijheid. Zijn persoonlijk leven zit vol onverklaarbare of op z'n minst eigenaardige gebeurtenissen en beslissingen. Zijn werk wordt nog steeds veel gelezen en is een leidraad voor veel mensen. Stine Jensen praat in deze aflevering met:  *schrijver en Kierkegaard-kenner Geert Jan Blanken *regisseur en filosoof Roos van Ees die als twintiger haar scriptie over hem schreef in dagboekvorm *theatermaker Bo Tarenskeen, die Kierkegaards' inzichten, zoals de bekende stelling dat angst de duizeligheid van de vrijheid is, in zijn voorstellingen verwerkte.   Wat blijft audiodoc is een podcast van HUMAN en NPO Luister, deze aflevering staat vanaf zondag 2 augustus om 21 uur online op NPO Luister en is te horen in het tweede uur van Wat blijft radio op NPO Radio 1.

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is best known for its nuclear engineering and pioneering reactor testing programs. Somewhat lesser known is the Lab’s cutting edge research in all other energy sources including wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, biomass and batteries. The Energy and Environment, Science & Technology (EES&T) Directorate, one of five directorates at the Lab, focuses its research on understanding available energy sources and melding them into coherent and maximally effective systems. The Directorate’s R&D programs seek to take advantage of the special characteristics each energy source adds to the mix. Dr. Shannon Bragg-Sitton is INL’s Associate Laboratory Director in charge of the EES&T. She is a nuclear engineer by education and experience who initially focused on what she refers to as “nano-reactors.” Those devices, the smallest of which are no bigger than a kitchen trash can, are designed to serve space applications, either as planetary – or Lunar – power supplies or as propulsion sources. During our conversation, Shannon described her career trajectory from being a student to working at NASA to being a professor at Texas A&M focused on space nuclear power. She described moving to the Idaho National Laboratory as a way to broaden her technical and leadership scope. She mentioned how that move was partially motivated by the challenge of being a tenure track professor while also having three “very young” children. At INL, she branched out from her special interest in very small reactors and eventually found herself in charge of a division that developed concepts for micro grids that incorporate a wide variety of power sources in ways that maximized effectiveness and economy while still ensuring continuing reliability. She learned to appreciate the value and contributions from non nuclear power sources while never losing her passion for nuclear energy and its capabilities. Her career advice boils down to a set of recommendations for young professionals: Maintain a questioning attitude, Be open to new opportunities, Be willing to get outside of their comfort zone Be able to adapt in the face of changing circumstances. Aside: Shannon has a special interest in the development of young professionals in the nuclear industry. When we first met, she was part of a group of seven passionate professionals who were founding a group they called NA-YGN – North American Young Generation in Nuclear. At the time, the industry organizations were dominated by people in the north of 45 category. NA-YGN was aimed at people who were 35 or younger, but they made an exception for a 40+ blogger who shared their passion. End Aside. We talked about the utility of energy storage, both in the form of electrical energy stored in a chemical battery and thermal energy stored in a system like the molten salt tanks associated with TerraPower’s Natrium power plant. We talked a bit about the rapid successes being achieved in micro reactors as part of the Reactor Pilot Program and we also talked about the way that a number of exiting developments at INL are helping to contribute to a growing economy in Idaho Falls. As a long-time resident of Idaho Falls, Shannon expressed mixed emotions about the increased traffic and higher costs of living associated with new activities at INL, but came down on the side of being happy about the economic development. She also spoke passionately about Idaho as a wonderful place to live and to raise a family, especially if you like activities like hiking and camping. You’ll enjoy the show.

After Greece decided unilaterally to scrap biometric border checks for British visitors, the tourism minister has said the “UK fast track” will continue until the EU entry-exit system (EES) is improved. Olga Kefalogianni tells me today: “We aim to actually make sure that this facilitation is not just valid for this year.” Her hope is that technology will come to the rescue to enable a friction-free border crossing.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.

Turespaña anticipa un verano 2026 con crecimiento turístico moderado pero sostenido hacia España, marcado por un contexto global de incertidumbre económica, tensiones geopolíticas y aumento de los costes energéticos, según sus informes de tendencias de mercados emisores para el verano de 2026. La demanda internacional se mantiene sólida, aunque más prudente y sensible al precio, con viajeros que planifican con mayor antelación y ajustan su gasto.Los grandes fondos de inversión advierten de un posible frenazo del turismo por el impacto de la crisis del fuel, que podría afectar tanto al poder adquisitivo de los viajeros como a la conectividad aérea hacia España, según un nuevo análisis sobre el encarecimiento energético. Este escenario genera preocupación en una industria clave para la economía española, ya que el aumento de los costes amenaza con enfriar la demanda y ralentizar el crecimiento previsto.Ryanair reclama al Gobierno español que suspenda hasta septiembre la implantación del sistema europeo de control de fronteras EES, alertando de largas colas en aeropuertos y posibles pérdidas de vuelos en plena temporada alta, como detalla en su petición para aplazar la entrada en vigor del sistema. La aerolínea denuncia falta de personal y problemas técnicos, con esperas de hasta dos horas en varios aeropuertos turísticos.La Chambre destaca el fortalecimiento de las relaciones económicas y empresariales entre Francia y España, subrayando el papel de la cooperación bilateral como motor de inversión, innovación y desarrollo empresarial, a través de sus iniciativas de colaboración empresarial. La entidad pone en valor las acciones impulsadas para facilitar el intercambio comercial y el networking entre empresas de ambos países.

VOV1 - Truyền thông Hy Lạp cho biết, nước này đã trở thành quốc gia đầu tiên trong khu vực Schengen tạm dừng việc kiểm tra dấu vân tay và nhận diện khuôn mặt của EU đối với khách du lịch Anh. Quyết định này được đưa ra sau khi Hệ thống Nhập cảnh/Xuất cảnh (EES) mới của EU gây ra cảnh hỗn loạn tại nhiều sân bay châu Âu, bao gồm cả vụ việc nghiêm trọng khiến nhiều hành khách đến Manchester bị mắc kẹt.Theo các nguồn tin, Liên minh châu Âu (EU) cho biết các quốc gia thành viên có thể tạm dừng việc kiểm tra theo quy định mới nếu tình trạng xếp hàng trở nên quá tải. Nhiều hành khách đã gặp phải tình trạng xử lý thủ tục chậm trễ với thời gian chờ đợi từ ba đến bốn giờ tại nhiều địa điểm ở Hy Lạp, Pháp, Đức, Italia. Việc thiếu hụt thiết bị quét sinh trắc học và nhân sự dẫn đến tình trạng chậm chễ không thể kiểm soát ở nhiều sân bay châu Âu.Việc đưa ra những thay đổi đáng kể trong áp dụng quy định về xuất nhập cảnh của Hy Lạp nhằm giảm thiểu thời gian chờ đợi và đảm bảo trải nghiệm cho hàng triệu du khách Anh dự kiến là nguồn thu đáng kể đến các đảo và thành phố của nước này trong mùa hè 2026.Bà Eleni Skarveli, giám đốc Tổ chức Du lịch Quốc gia Hy Lạp tại Anh, nhấn mạnh quyết định này sẽ đảm bảo trải nghiệm nhập cảnh vào Hy Lạp suôn sẻ, hiệu quả hơn và giảm đáng kể thời gian chờ đợi cũng như tình trạng tắc nghẽn tại các sân bay.Hải Đăng/VOV-Praha

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso celebrate five years and 210 episodes of their podcast. They reflect on their journey and share a two-day adventure in Rome, exploring hidden gems and unique experiences off the usual tourist path. Key Points: Five Years of Kimberly's Italy: Kimberly and Tommaso mark the fifth anniversary of their first episode, launched on April 13, 2021. They recall starting the podcast during COVID, with Tommaso convincing Kimberly to overcome her initial hesitations about her voice. The most rewarding aspect has been connecting with listeners globally, who share their appreciation for the episodes. Important Travel Updates: The EES Situation Kimberly shares recent experiences with the EU's Entry-Exit System (EES), noting it is slow and chaotic at most airports. She advises adding 45 minutes to an hour to estimated arrival times and avoiding connections in Schengen countries less than two hours apart. Tommaso recounts an incident at Linate Airport where 100 passengers missed their flight due to EES delays. Navigating Rome Off the Map: Kimberly and Tommaso spend 48 hours exploring Rome beyond major landmarks like the Colosseum, Vatican, and Trevi Fountain. They emphasize discovering the city's authentic character by exploring smaller, less-traveled streets. Monti: A Local Roman Neighborhood: They stay in Monti, a less-touristy neighborhood northeast of the Colosseum, describing it as steep, narrow, and lived-in. Kimberly considers Monti more authentic than Trastevere, which has become overly crowded. Hidden Artistic and Historical Treasures: Kimberly visits the Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli, home to Michelangelo's Moses sculpture, noting its magnificence and free entry. They stumble upon a workshop where a craftsman restores antique frames, engaging in a dying art form. They discover a building covered in sgraffito, a Renaissance wall decoration technique. A Birthday in Rome: For Kimberly's birthday, the itinerary includes exploring churches and meandering through the city. They encounter large crowds near the Pantheon due to Easter week, reminding listeners to consider the Easter holiday when planning spring trips. They visit San Louis des Français, admiring its intricate gold leaf and design. The “Flowers” Exhibit at Chiostro del Bramante: Kimberly and Tommaso visit an exhibition spanning centuries of art, from Renaissance to AI, all centered around flowers and the role they play in ecology. The exhibit includes immersive installations, film, painting, sculpture, and photography, with a notable display of bees building honeycomb on a mold of Emperor Hadrian's face. The Apple Store at Palazzo Marignoli: They visit the Apple Store in Palazzo Marignoli, a beautifully renovated 1870s palace.

Ikonické cvakání razítek pasové kontroly už v Evropě neuslyšíte. Od pátku totiž Evropská unie definitivně spustila systém EES, který kontroly cizinců z území mimo Schengenský prostor digitalizuje. Návštěvníky z třetích zemí tak čeká zadávání údajů do systému i větší dohled policejních orgánů napříč Evropou. A možná také delší fronty, alespoň zpočátku.

De kosten van de oorlog tegen Iran lopen op en de Verenigde Staten lijken steeds meer op een deal af te stevenen. Maar Iran houdt voorlopig de deuren voor dialoog dicht en ook Israël wil nog niet stoppen met de oorlogsvoering. De kloof tussen de VS en Israël groeit. Hoe moet het verder en welke rol kan Europa spelen? Daarover onderzoeker Koen Aartsma van Instituut Clingendael. (13:27) Hongarije-lijn Nicolaas Veul  Voor de serie Hotline Hongarije reisde programmamaker Nicolaas Veul door het land van Viktor Orbán, in aanloop naar de verkiezingen van 12 april. Om te horen wat Hongaren werkelijk vinden van de politieke situatie, openden Nicolaas en zijn team de Holland Hungary Hotline, waar mensen zich anoniem konden melden. Voor Bureau Buitenland hield Nicolaas een audiodagboek bij tijdens zijn reizen, dat redacteur Djuna Kramer bewerkte. Vandaag het eerste van drie delen. En Roos van Ees, researcher van het programma, vertelt hoe de hotline een groot succes werd.  Presentatie: Sophie Derkzen

A grandmother of 12 has been left heartbroken after a council confirmed she cannot return to her home of more than 25 years following a devastating fire. The blaze ripped through her three-bedroom house in South Ashford last month and she was initially told she would be able to return once repairs to the council-owned property had been completed. Also in today's podcast, the KentOnline Podcast has been told the Port of Dover will be ready for the full rollout of new border checks for passengers heading to the EU. From the 10th of April, everyone travelling through to mainland Europe will have to provide a fingerprint and photo – you can hear from the Port CEO ahead of the changes.  You can hear from a mum-of-two was told she had multiple brain tumours after previously battling breast cancer twice. The 35-year-old underwent successful surgery in 2024 but just before Christmas last year, she started suffering from severe headaches and problems with her vision. Another Kent town has bid to become the first-ever UK Town of Culture.  The competition aims to celebrate the legacy and creativity of some of the country's smaller places – Chatham's bid is being led by Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.  And the local authority in Maidstone say there's been an incredible community response to a campaign to save Swift colonies.  They're taking action to try to bolster declining populations but handing out free boxes for the birds to nest in.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Það er hálft ár síðan síðasta gosi á Sundhnjúksgígaröðinni lauk en mikil skjálftavirkni hefur verið við Eldey síðustu daga. Benedikt G. Ófeigsson, fagstjóri aflögunarmælinga á Veðurstofunni telur ólíklegt að gjósi við Eldey á næstunni, þar sjáist engin merki gosróróa. Uppi á Reykjanesskaga heldur kvikusöfnun áfram undir Svartsengi en hefur hægt á henni. Kvikuhlaup og eldgos er enn talið líklegt en ekki ómögulegt að gosið fyrir hálfu ári hafi verið það síðasta. 130 ríkisborgarar frá átta löndum utan EES og EFTA hafa fengið leyfi til að eignast fasteign hér á landi frá árinu 2020. 110 eru með bandarískan ríkisborgararétt. Stærstur hluti þeirra er á höttunum eftir kyrrð og ró í sumarbústað, helst skammt frá höfuðborgarsvæðinu, segir Páll Pálsson fasteignasali.

Aarifah Karim is a visually impaired figure skater. She had a stop-start entry into the sport that she now loves, not because of her visual impairment, but due it being a tricky sport to master and other people's attitudes. Aarifah describes to Peter White what figure skating is, how she became involved and whether or not her visual impairment has ever become an obstacle in pursuing the sport.The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new digital system designed to keep track of when non-EU citizens enter and leave the Schengen Area. It covers 29 European countries, mostly in the EU, and it requires fingerprints and a photograph to be registered. Chris Kay contacted In Touch about the new EES system because he was concerned how he and other members of the Visually Impaired Veterans Ski Club would fare when managing the new system when they take their next annual ski trip to Italy. The Independent's Travel Correspondent, Simon Calder, helps address Chris' concerns and provides more general advice for visually impaired people on future travel through countries who come under this new system.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Kim Agostino Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three separate white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word ‘radio' in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside of a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one is a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.

Certainty is a mirage, but confidence can be built. In this episode of Clarity Generates Confidence, Gary sits down with Fallon Veit, founder and CEO of EES, a global production agency she built from the ground up without outside investment.Together, they explore how leaders are navigating tariffs, tightening budgets, and the quieter buildup of burnout, while reframing live events as a business strategy that strengthens people and performance. The conversation lands on a simple closing truth that cuts through the noise: honesty is kindness, and it might be one of the most practical tools we have for moving forward.

Ákvörðun Evrópusambandsins (ESB) um að leggja verndartolla á kísilmálm frá Íslandi og Noregi markar þáttaskil í samskiptum EES-ríkjanna. Þrátt fyrir áratugalangt samstarf og aðild Noregs og Íslands að innri markaði Evrópu í gegnum EES-samninginn var hvorugt landið undanþegið tollunum sem eru undir hatti svokallaðra verndartolla. Dr. Carl Baudenbacher, fyrrverandi forseti EFTA-dómstólsins, gagnrýndi ákvörðunina harðlega í viðtali við Morgunblaðið. Hann segir verndartollana gróft brot á EES-samningnum. EES-samningurinn er án nokkurs efa einn mikilvægasti alþjóðasamningur sem Ísland hefur gert. Við Íslendingar lifum á alþjóðaviðskiptum – lífskjör okkar byggjast á greiðum aðgangi að erlendum mörkuðum. Þegar Evrópusambandið tekur einhliða ákvörðun um að útiloka samstarfsríki og gengur gegn grunnhugsun samningsins ætti öllum að vera ljóst að undirstöður EES-samstarfsins eru ekki jafn sterkar og við höfum talið okkur trú um. Og það þjónar ekki hagsmunum okkar að gera lítið úr málinu og tala um hliðarspor, eins og forsætisráðherra gerir eða gefa til kynna að lausnin liggi í því að Ísland gangi inn í Evrópusambandið, líkt og utanríkisráðherra lætur liggja að. En auðvitað kemur það ekki nokkrum manni á óvart að þegar glíma þarf við vandamál eða leysa verkefni sé lausn Viðreisnar alltaf það sama: Evrópusambandsaðild.

Utanríkisráðherrar EES ríkjanna verða á morgun í Brussel á fundi ráðherraráðs Evrópska efnahagssvæðisins. Fundurinn er haldinn í skugga þeirrar ákvörðunar um verndarráðstafanir sem Evrópusambandið ákvað á þriðjudaginn. Björn Malmquist fréttamaður ræddi þessi mál við Þorgerði Katrínu Gunnarsdóttur utanríkisráðherra sem kom til Brussel í dag. Seðlabanki Íslands lækkaði í dagstýrivexti um 0,25 prósentustig. Anna Kristín Jónsdóttir leitaði álits Katrínar Ólafsdóttur deildarforseta viðskipta- og hagfræðideildar Háskólans í Reykjavík, á þessari ákvörðun og mögulegum afleiðingum hennar. Ráðuneytisstjóri í forsætisráðuneytinu fundaði með Sigríði Björk Guðjónsdóttur þáverandi ríkislögreglustjóra undir fjögur augu nokkrum dögum áður en hún sagði af sér embætti. Fundurinn var haldinn á heimili ráðuneytisstjórans að loknum vinnudegi. Forsætisráðherra segir ráðuneytisstjórann ekki hafa farið með nein skilaboð frá henni inn á fundinn. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson fjallar um málið. Umsjón: Ævar Örn Jósepsson Tæknimaður: Kári Guðmundsson

Нови систем за дигитално управљање границама (EES) за улазак/излазак постао је оперативан у 29 европских земаља у недељу, 12. октобра, а како је саопштио Савет ЕУ, њиме ће се ојачати безбедност граница и повећати ефикасност за путнике. Како се наводи, нови систем ће дигитално бележити уласке и изласке, као и податке из пасоша, отиске прстију и слике лица држављана земаља ван ЕУ који путују на кратки боравак у државама чланицама ЕУ. Ово важи и за држављане Аустралије. Наш сарадник Крсте Марковић искусио је из прве руке нове европске путничке регулације на пропутовању кроз Минхен.

Here's a 300-word iTunes/Podcast Apps summary for Episode 562: What happens when your carefully planned vacation in France takes an unexpected turn? In Unexpected France: History, Nature, and a Bit of Chaos, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Gregg Furey about a journey filled with breathtaking discoveries, surprising challenges, and a few classic French travel mishaps. Listen to this episode ad-free Gregg's trip took him to places most visitors overlook. He explored the prehistoric caves of Arcy-sur-Cure, where ancient paintings connect today's traveler with humanity's earliest stories. He visited the soaring cathedrals of Laon and Bourges, each one a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. At the battlefield of Alésia, Gregg learned how Julius Caesar defeated Vercingetorix and how that moment still shapes French identity. And in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, he reflected on the life of General Charles de Gaulle at the Croix de Lorraine memorial and museum. But not everything went according to plan. Gregg ended up in a hospital in Sarlat after unexpected health issues. Instead of panic, he found efficient doctors, affordable treatment, and an eye-opening look at how the French healthcare system really works. This detour disrupted his schedule but turned into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. This conversation is about more than just sightseeing. It's about handling the unpredictable. It's about staying flexible, finding humor when things go wrong, and discovering that mishaps often make the best stories. Annie and Gregg remind us that France is more than Paris and the Riviera. Smaller towns, Roman ruins, and quiet villages hold just as much magic. Subscribe to the Join Us in France Travel Podcast to hear more stories like this one.

From raves at Narita, airline sonic signatures, to the sound of engines (and a car alarm) during the recording — this episode is music to the ears of Paul and Vinod, unlike the arrivals hell of some airports (should I write which one Vinod will talk about? Nah, you'll find out!). Vinod's way back from Costa Rica, or when nothing goes your way. The beauty of Munich, built straight like a LEGO brick, satisfyingly clear and tidy, and one of Paul's favorites. Is JAL better than Qatar Airways? (Bring your own air vent?). As Japan is seeing increased numbers of international visitors (is that ouvertourism, we talk about it), will it be again Narita's time to shine over Haneda? The old Kenzo Tange dream of NRT might actually come true (in a modern, less striking form). EES, or the rise of machines, taking over airports in the Schengen Area.

Please Follow us on: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook  Core Points of this episode: Be sure to thoroughly research online travel information; verify details before making plans, as social media posts and other sources can be misleading. Be aware of potential tourist scams, like fake petitions, and exercise caution when approached by strangers requesting signatures or donations. Respect art and cultural sites by refraining from disruptive behavior such as taking selfies or not paying attention to what is part of a museum exhibit. Prepare for extreme weather, including heat waves and intense storms, by staying updated on forecasts and having plans for seeking shelter. Anticipate possible travel disruptions due to strikes, especially during peak season, and check for updates from transport operators. Remember to register your travel plans with your government's traveler enrollment program for safety alerts and advisories. Summary Travel Information and Misleading Content Kimberly and Tommaso emphasize the importance of verifying travel information found online. A humorous example is shared of an Instagram video showing a pharmacy sign in Rome displaying a false temperature of 46 degrees Celsius. This highlights how easily social media can spread misinformation, prompting listeners to be skeptical. Tourist Scams and Ethical Behavior We bring attention to tourist scams encountered in Italy, such as people with clipboards seeking signatures for a fake charity petition, later soliciting donations from those who sign. Kimberly and Tommaso also discuss the importance of respecting art and cultural sites. Examples of tourists causing damage, such as a couple breaking a crystal chair in a museum and a man falling into a painting at the Uffizi Gallery, highlight the need for visitors to be mindful and respectful of their surroundings. Weather Conditions and Preparedness The current hot weather in Italy and the likelihood of intense storms, especially in northern Italy, are discussed in detail. Kimberly and Tommaso advise travelers to plan for unexpected weather changes, as storms can come in quickly and cause flooding. They suggest seeking shelter during storms and adapting sightseeing plans to avoid the hottest parts of the day, such as lingering over lunch. Travel Disruptions Due to Strikes We provide information about potential transportation strikes in Italy. These strikes may affect train services and airport operations, with specific dates and times provided for planned actions. It is recommended to check for updates from train and airport operators closer to the travel dates to mitigate potential disruptions. Travel Advisories and Safety We share updates on travel authorization requirements, noting delays in implementing the ETIAS and EES systems. They also mention the U.S. State Department's travel advisory regarding the conflict between Israel and Iran and potential demonstrations against U.S. citizens. This prompts listeners to register their travel plans with their government's traveler enrollment program for safety alerts and advisories.
