Ireland's electric vehicle market is booming, with registrations up 69% in August and over 20,000 new EVs licensed so far in 2025 - a 37% increase year-on-year. With one in six new cars now electric, EVs are becoming the mainstream choice for both drivers and businesses. This rapid growth makes the return of the Nevo Electric Vehicle Show to Dublin's RDS Simmonscourt this November especially timely - uniting industry leaders, public sector decision-makers and consumers for Ireland's largest ever showcase of electric mobility, clean energy and sustainable transport. The Nevo Electric Vehicle Show, in partnership with Bank of Ireland, is set to return to Dublin's RDS Simmonscourt this November with its most ambitious programme yet. Running across two days, Friday 7th November for businesses and Saturday 8th November for the general public, it will be Ireland's largest ever event dedicated to electric vehicles, clean energy, and sustainable mobility. Bank of Ireland is once again the show's title partner in 2025 while SSE Airtricity will continue as the exclusive Energy Partner, reflecting the growing importance of energy solutions in driving Ireland's shift to electrification. Every automotive brand operating in Ireland will be present, alongside exhibitors spanning public and home charging, solar energy, personal and public electric transport, smart home technology and wider energy services. Business day, on Friday, 7 November, is designed to help businesses, fleets, and the Public Sector of all sizes plan for a sustainable future. With climate targets looming, the event will bring together CEOs, CFOs, Heads of Fleet and Sustainability from across Ireland. The agenda will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and case studies from organisations already transitioning to electric mobility. Workshops will be hosted throughout the day by GEOTAB, ESB, SSE, Activ8 Energies and Pragmatica, covering topics such as fleet management, smart energy, and business strategy development. The goal is to empower decision-makers to accelerate their journey towards net zero while also gaining practical advice on costs, infrastructure, and policy. For the general public on Saturday, 8 November, the Nevo EV Show promises a full day of discovery, excitement and hands-on experiences. Over 120 electric vehicles will be on display across 56 stands, representing 34 car brands. Nissan is confirmed as the official vehicle launch partner this year, where the brand will unveil the all-new Micra and the latest Leaf, marking their first official appearance in Ireland, giving visitors an exclusive first look. More than 30 vehicles will be available to test drive as part of the SSE Airtricity Driving Experience, while ESB ecars will showcase 12 vehicles in the new live demonstration area with EV expert Derek Reilly offering insights into performance, design and features. Visitors can also look forward to exclusive vehicle launches from more leading brands, expert panel discussions on everything from vehicle grants to charging, and a chance to explore the very latest in sustainable transport solutions. Attendance is once again expected to be significant! Organisers are targeting 10,000 registrations for the business day and 20,000 attendees for the public day, backed by a nationwide marketing campaign and strong support from event partners including Bank of Ireland, SSE Airtricity, ESB ecars, GEOTAB, ZEVI and SEAI. The Nevo EV Show aims to build on the extraordinary success of last year's event, which attracted almost 20,000 visitors. With a broader programme, bigger displays and more vehicles than ever before, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be Ireland's definitive showcase of the electric future. Admission is free, but registration is required. Tickets for both the Business Day and Public Day are available now at nevo.ie.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 bhí na Gardaí ag fiosrú tine sa halla pobail I gCorcaigh le níos mó ná 50 míle punt de dhamáiste déanta. I 1983 bhí 12 stáisiúin gin ESB chun dúnadh timpeall an tír.. I 2001 tháinig daoine sinsearach a raibh ag obair ag Institiúid Tiobraid Árann amach ag rá nach raibh na mic léinn ábalta lóistín a fháil. Bhí campas I nDurlas agus Cluain Mheala agus bhí nach mór 200 mic léinn nua ann. Ach roimh a thosaigh siad ní raibh na mic léinn ábalta lóistín a fháil. I 2008 bhí Larkins I Garrykennedy sa treoirleabhar Michelin Eating Out Pubs 2009. Bhí sé teach tábhairne amháin amach as 17 sa tír a raibh sa leabhair de 550. Sin ABBA le Dancing Queen – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1957 tháinig Reet Petite ó Jackie Wilson amach don chéad uair ach chuaigh sé chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain 29 bhliain tar éis. I 1973 chuaigh Marvin Gaye chuig uimhir a haon lena hamhrán Lets Get It On agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh dhá seachtain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Martin Freeman sa Bhreatain I 1971 agus rugadh amhránaí Avicii sa tSualainn ar an lá seo I 1989 agus seo chuid de amhráin. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1976: Gardaí were investigating fires which caused more than £50,000 in damages to a community hall in Cork. 1983: 12 of the country's ESB generatingstations were threatened with closure. 2001 - SENIOR personnel at the Tipperary Institute expressed bewilderment at the difficulties being experienced by students in getting accommodation. The Institute, with campuses in both Thurles and Clonmel, and the intake in the coming year is expected to be between 150 and 200 students. However, before the educational year commenced, students were finding it impossible to secure accommodation.   2008 - FAMED eatery Larkins Bar & Restaurant, Garrykennedy, once again featured in the prestigious Michelin Eating out in Pubs 2009 guide.

Þórarinn ræðir við Magnús Árna Skjöld Magnússon, formann Evrópuhreyfingarinnar og prófessor við stjórnmálafræðideild á Bifröst, um kosti og galla þess að ganga í Evrópusambandið. Farið er um víðan völl og rætt um Draghi skýrsluna, stjórnmálin í Evrópu, stjórnmálin í Evrópu, hvað það þýðir að kíkja í pakkann, hvaða praktísku þýðingu það hefði fyrir Ísland að ganga í ESB, stöðu Evrópuríkjanna og margt fleira.- Á Ísland að ganga í ESB?- Hvaða þýðingu hefur Draghi skýrslan á ágæti þess að ganga í bandalagið?- Mun aðildarumsókn verða samþykkt? Þessum spurningum er svarað hér.

Het was me het Trump-dagje weer wel. De president dreigt de EU én China met heffingen, hij wil nog meer aandelen in Amerikaanse beursbedrijven opeisen en als klap op de vuurpijl ontslaat hij een bestuurder van de Fed.Haar naam is Lisa Cook. Ze wordt door het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie onderzocht, maar dat onderzoek wacht Trump niet af. Hij wil haar weg. Ongekend. Nog nooit, in meer dan een eeuw, ontsloeg een president een bestuurder bij de Fed.Deze aflevering onderzoeken we wat zo'n ontslag betekent voor de economie en de beurs (en dus voor jou). Mocht Trump haar namelijk wegkrijgen, dan heeft 'ie 4 van de 7 Fed-gouverneurs in zijn invloedsfeer. Iets dat het rentebesluit behoorlijk kan sturen. Dan hebben we het ook over een beursgang van Klarna. Die is meerdere keren uitgesteld, maar volgens persbureau Reuters gaat het volgende maand dan echt gebeuren. De vraag is wat Klarna waard is, want de potentiële beurswaarde holt elke dag achteruit... Verder hoor je meer over de politieke chaos in Frankrijk. Als je dacht dat het erg was in ons land, dan moet je vooral kijken naar de Fransen. Het heeft nu zelfs invloed op de beurs en dan met name op de financials. Die gingen hard onderuit.En het gaat over een bijna communistische actie. Niet alleen Intel, maar ook defensiebedrijven moeten er aan geloven. De Amerikaanse overheid wil een deel van hun bedrijf hebben!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nederland moet meer gaan uitgeven aan Defensie. Maar waar haal je zo even €19 miljard vandaan? ‘Bij de bijstand', aldus VVD-leider Yesilgöz. Prima, Dilan! Nog maar €18 miljard te gaan. Op links zijn de ideeën niet veel beter: SP en Denk willen zorg, onderwijs en sociale zekerheid buiten schot houden, maar schermen daarmee 283 van de in totaal 457 miljard aan overheidsuitgaven af. Dr. Jasper Lukkezen van de ESB maakt korte metten met luchtfietsende politici en rekent de oplossing wel weer even voor. Het goede nieuws: het is in ieder geval wél haalbaar.

De defensie-industrie is booming, bij het Duitse bedrijf Rheinmetall klotsen de winsten tegen de plinten. Hoe kan Nederland zich aanpassen op de veranderende geopolitieke omstandigheden? Dr. Jasper Lukkezen legt uit waarom de defensiesector net even anders in elkaar steekt dan andere industrieën: een beperkt aantal bedrijven en een beperkt aantal klanten: overheden. De wederzijdse afhankelijkheid werkt zo lang de situatie stabiel is. Maar wat te doen nu daar langzaamaan verandering in komt?  Prof. dr.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 13ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 tháinig sé amach go raibh na praghsanna ag ardú dhá oiread is tapúla I gcomparáid leis an Bhreatain. I 1993 tháinig an Roinn Oideachais amach ag rá go raibh an rabhadh I gcoinne scrúdaithe chun dul isteach chuig scoil ag bogadh chuig scoileanna a raibh daoine ag íoc chun freastail ar. I 2002 tharla timpiste san Aonach Urmhumhan nuair a thit 10 míle volta ESB chuig an talamh. Bhí sé suite taobh amuigh de shiopa Gough, O'Keefe agus Naughton agus bhí péintéir ag maisiú an siopa ag an am. I 2003 bhí caingean dlí a bheith I ndán idir Comhairle Baile an tAonach Urmhumhan agus Comhairle Chontae Thiobraid Árann de bharr comhrá a bhí idir comhairleoir agus bainisteoir an chontae. Bhí na comhairleoir ag bagrach go raibh siad chun caingean dlí a bheith ann de bharr an cíos don Comhairle Baile ó shuíomh stadach. Sin Anastacia le I'm Outta Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1992 chan Neil Diamond a chéad oíche ó 6 I Madison Square Garden I Nua Eabhrac.

Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 13th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1976: It was reported that prices in Ireland were rising roughly twice as fast as in Britain. 1993: The Department of Education revealed last night that the move against entrance tests will extend to fee paying schools 2002 - A SERIOUS accident was averted in Nenagh, when a 10,000-volt ESB cable was knocked from its mounting and fell to the street below. The accident occurred when a mechanical hoist came in contact with the cable and knocked it to the ground. The hoist was located outside Gough, O'Keefe and Naughton's drapery shop and was being used by painters who were decorating the facade of the building at the time.   2003 - Legal action was looming between Nenagh Town Council and North Tipperary County Council following heated exchanges between councillors and the county manager. Councillors were threatening to take legal action over rent due to the Town Council from a halting site constructed by the County Council on a site at Dublin Road. Nenagh.  That was Anastacia with I'm Outta Love – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1992 Neil Diamond played the first of six sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York. 2007 Amy Winehouse pulled out of two Rolling Stones gigs in Hamburg Germany citing exhaustion And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Alfred Hitchcock was born in the UK in 1899 and actor Sebastian Stan was born in Romania on this day in 1982 and this is some of the stuff he has done.

A century ago only a quarter of the population had any electricity at all and few had running water. The newly independent State had little or no money but little it had it bet the house on one project: the building of the then largest hydro electric plant in Europe at Ardnacrusha in Co Clare. Today is the 100th anniversary exactly of the turning of the first sod to build that plant which provided enough electricity for the entire nation a century ago. JOw spoke to Brendan Shine is the Plant Manager for ESB at the world famous Ardnacrusha Generating Station.

 Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed two of the driving forces behind Green Man Brewing Company: Joe Summers, Managing Director, and Matt Peyton, Director of Brewing. We dove deep into the world of legacy beer styles, the ebb and flow of trends in the craft beer scene, and how Green Man keeps pivoting and thriving even as the industry gets more crowded and competitive. From war stories about hay-infused brews and pumpkin beers arriving way before the harvest, to the real-world logistics of steering a brewery battleship in the wake of ever-shifting consumer preferences, this conversation was packed with insight, laughs, and a couple of surprise bottles (including some soju in a plastic liter bottle). We explored everything from experimental IPAs to the comforting return of classic ESBs and sessionable lagers, not to mention what it will take to bring Asheville's South Slope back to full vibrancy. Joe Summers has nearly two decades of experience in the beverage industry, steering Green Man Brewing through thick and thin as Managing Director. Matt Peyton, whose background is in civil and environmental engineering, has spent almost every waking moment of the last twelve years climbing from delivery driver all the way up to Director of Brewing. Both are passionate advocates for beer brewed with balance, intention, and a healthy respect for tradition—even as they chase after the occasional trend or wacky adjunct. "Brewery is not an F1 car, it's a battleship. And it takes a long time to turn it and move it in a direction." ~Matt Peyton Today on Consuming the Craft:·     Trends in the craft beer industry are cyclical; legacy beer styles, such as ESB, IPA, and Porter, are making a comeback as trends shift from fads to classics.·     Steering a brewery toward a new trend requires years of planning, from label approval to production schedules; you can't just pivot overnight.·     The “haze craze” and IPA experimentation are still very much alive, but there's growing consumer interest in sessionable, lower-ABV beers and clean lagers.·     Legacy brands, dependable classics consumers know and trust, help breweries stay resilient when distributors prioritize trendier items like hard seltzers.·     Economic uncertainty means more people are reaching for tried-and-true classic beers, rather than taking a chance on expensive new releases.·     The Asheville craft scene is recovering after a tough year, and both breweries and locals are eager to welcome back visitors and celebrate a return to normal.·     Experimentation isn't dead, surprise tastings during the conversation included a robust Armagnac and a surprisingly smooth (and subtle) Korean soju.·     Food, beer, and community remain at the heart of what breweries like Green Man do, whether its chili made with porter or a scotch egg and a pint at Jack the Wood. Contact Green Man Brewing Company: Website: https://www.greenmanbrewery.com/ Locations: 27 Buxton Ave, Asheville, NC (plus additional taproom info online) Resources Mentioned: Green Man Brewing Company beers: ESB, Porter, Damn Fine Pilsner (currently on draft) East Village Grill (offering Green Man's “Easy Drinking Pills”) Sierra Nevada Brewing (new pilsner noted for excellence) McConnell Farms This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

A new mobile app, ESB Networks AR: The Story of Electricity, developed by Walton Institute at South East Technological University, was recently launched during the annual ESB Networks' Apprentice Network Technician of the Year. This innovative app offers an interactive, educational experience that brings the history and infrastructure of electricity in Ireland to life using cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) technology. The app also allows users to explore the ESB Networks Training Centre's live field in Portlaoise through a guided AR tour. Onsite visitors can use the app to access multimedia content, presented by a virtual tour guide, that explains the real-world electrical equipment and infrastructure they see around them. For those accessing the app, ESB Networks AR offers a rich multimedia journey through the evolution of electricity in Ireland - from generation to transmission, distribution, and final delivery to homes and businesses across the country, both urban and rural. The project was delivered through a research and development collaboration between the ICS Technology Gateway at Walton Institute and ESB Networks. Stephen Barnes, Senior Project Manager of the Extended Reality (XR) team at Walton Institute, said: "We're delighted to launch an app that combines education, storytelling, and technology. It's an exciting new way to engage people with the story of electricity and the important work ESB Networks does every day. As a former electronic engineer, I hope that this will not just give users a better understanding of the great work done by ESB Networks but also inspire the next generation of apprentices." David Harrington, Training Design and Systems Manager at ESB Networks, added: "This app reflects ESB Networks commitment to innovation and education. It enhances how we engage with visitors, apprentices, and the public, offering a hands-on, immersive understanding of the infrastructure that powers Ireland." This app is more than a tour. It serves as an educational tool that demystifies the fundamentals of electricity and showcases the vital work of ESB Networks. Schools, training centres, and colleges can also benefit from its use as an engaging introduction to electrical systems and infrastructure. One of the standout features is a virtual tour guide, created using advanced 3D scanning and facial animation technologies. Users can also experience immersive 360° footage from a technician's climb up a transmission tower, offering a unique and thrilling perspective on the work carried out by ESB professionals. The ICS Technology Gateway Programme is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

Dr Paul Deane, Senior Lecturer in Clean Energy UCC discusses the news that, from today, the ESB is ceasing to burn coal at its Moneypoint electricity generation station in County Clare.

Eldhúsdagsumræður eru á Alþingi í kvöld og marka alla jafna þinglok - en þau eru ekki í augsýn Fjöldi mála er enní nefnd eftir fyrstu umræðu. Þórarinn Ingi Pétursson, Framsóknarflokki og Lilja Rafney Magnúsdóttir Flokki fólksins eru þó bæði á því að samkomulag náist um þingstörfin það geri það alltaf. Þeim sýnist þó sitt hvoru um eitt stærsta mál þingsins, veiðigjaldið. Víðtækar refsiaðgerðir gegn Rússum, sem vestræn ríki og Evrópusambandið hafa staðið fyrir undanfarin ár, virðast ekki hafa haft þau áhrif sem til var ætlast; það er að setja þrýsting á stjórnvöld í Kreml til að hætta hernaðinum í Úkraínu eða hnika þeim nær samningaborðinu. Nýjasti pakki refsiaðgerða Evrópusambandsins, meðal annars gegn skuggaflotanum svokallaða, var kynntur í gær. Það er hins vegar ekki ljóst hvort stjórnvöld í Bandaríkjunum eða öll ESB-ríkin ætla að spila með eins og þau hafa gert til þessa.

DP Energy has partnered with ESB to develop Lyra Wind Farm in Co. Mayo, a renewable energy project with the potential to generate up to 100MW of clean power. Located approximately 7km southeast of Westport, 2.2km southeast of Aghagower Village and 9.5km west of Ballintubber Village, the proposed area of development is situated in the townlands of Cordarragh South, Corveagh Upper and Teevinish West. The majority of the proposed turbine area is located at an elevation of between 100m and 200m above sea level and will generate enough energy to power up to 70,914 homes on an annual basis. The design of the proposed project is at an early stage and is following an iterative approach that will be guided by any potential environmental impacts, as advised by third-party technical experts. The wind farm, once operational, will only occupy a small portion of the overall site area - approximately 4% - allowing many of the existing land uses, such as farming and biodiversity management, to continue alongside the project. DP Energy has collaborated with ESB previously to develop Cappawhite Wind Farm, a 51MW onshore wind project in Co. Tipperary, located at the southernmost extent of the mountain range known as Hollyford Hills. DP Energy also previously sold its operating and pipeline projects to ESB in 2008. Simon De Pietro, Director and CEO at DP Energy Group, says: "We are delighted to be working alongside ESB to develop Lyra Wind Farm. This project has the potential to deliver substantial benefits to the local community while fostering local employment and enterprise. Having previously achieved excellent results working with ESB, we look forward to building on this strong partnership and using it as a foundation for future projects across Ireland and the UK." Jim Dollard, Executive Director, Generation and Trading at ESB, says: "At ESB, we are progressing a pipeline of projects and acquisitions, including initiatives with our trusted partners, to deliver our Net Zero by 2040 strategy. Building on our previous successes, we are delighted to partner once again with DP Energy on the proposed Lyra wind farm in Co Mayo. By leveraging our shared values and combined expertise, we believe the Lyra project will deliver significant benefits for the community, the environment and Ireland's net-zero energy commitments. We look forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure the project is a success." Visit the Lyra Wind Farm website for more information on the project.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 29ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 dúradh go mbeadh stailc ann de 400 oibreoirí ESB agus dá mbeidís chun an stailc a dhéanamh go mbeadh 140 míle custaiméirí chun a leictreachas a chailleadh. I 1987 bhí ráflaí ann go mbeadh laghdú sa phraghas I bpeitreal agus bhí an Rialtas na hEorpa ag labhairt faoi. I 1987 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh an t-aonad máithreachais chun dúnadh I Cahercalla de bharr gearradh siar. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach go bhfuair timpeall 8,500 feirmeoirí ón chontae timpeall 50 milliúin punt I maoiniú ó coimisiúin na hEorpa chun cúiteamh do gach rud a chaill siad faoin pholaisí talmhaíochta. Sin The Tamperer agus Maya le Feel It – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1998. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1992 bhí daoine buartha go raibh páistí sa Sacred Heart I New Jersey ag aitheantais mar Freddie Mercury, rinne siad an cinneadh gan We Are The Champions ó Queen a canadh ag an searmanas bronnta. I 2002 nocht siad mósáic sa mhúsaem The Beatles Story a bhí 16 troigh a bhí dearadh ag John Lennon. Bhí an mósáic pháirteach de linn snámha John Lennon ina dteach I Surrey nuair a bhí sé ina chónaí ann ó 1964 go dtí 1968. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Noel Gallagher sa Bhreatain I 1967 agus rugadh amhránaí Mel B sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 29th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: strike action by 400 esb engineers a tactic that wouldve left 140,000 consumers without power supplies had been deferred. 1987: a strong hint of a drop in petrol prices currently amongst the highest in europe was given by the government last night. 1987: maternity unit closure in cahercalla agreed in new health cutback deal. 1998: last year about 8,500 clare farmers recieved an estimated £50 million in grants and subsidies from the european commission to compensate for losses under the common agricultural policy. That was The Tamperer with Feel It – the biggest song on this day in 1998 Onto music news on this day In 1992 Concerned that some pupils were overly identifying with Freddie Mercury, the sacred heart School in Clifton New Jersey decided not to sing the Queen song 'We Are The Champions', at their Graduation Ceremony. 2002 A 16ft by 6ft mosaic designed by John Lennon went on display at The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool. The mosaic had been built into Lennon's swimming pool at his Kenwood home in Surrey where he lived between 1964 and 1968. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Noel Gallagher was born in the UK in 1967 and singer Mel B was born in The UK on this day in 1975 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Hlutfall ungmenna sem nota slíka níkótínpúða er hvergi hærra á Norðurlöndum en á Íslandi - Á stóru blaði sem hangir á veggnum á skrifstofunni hjá stækkunarstjóra Evrópusambandsins í í Brussel, eru nöfn níu ríkja sem sótt hafa um aðild að ESB og yfirlit yfir hvernig viðræðurnar ganga - Ísland er á listanum - með rauðu merki - enda er aðildarumsóknin í frosti eins og fram hefur komið. Nýleg skýrsla Europol varpar ljósi á hvernig skipulögð brotastarfsemi hefur þróast á undanförnum árum, meðal annars með nýrri tækni eins og gervigreind - þótt afbrot eins og fíkniefnasmygl, vopnasala og mansal séu áfram fyrirferðarmikil. Þetta er alþjóðleg starfsemi í eðli sínu og Ísland er þar ekki undanskilið; íslenskir og erlendir brotamenn starfa saman; flytja hingað fíkniefni og þvætta ágóðann af ólögmætri starfsemi, meðal annars með skipulögðum útflutningi á reiðufé og kaupum á rafmynt.

Staðan á Gaza og aðgerðir Evrópusambandsins var umræðuefni á ráðherrafundi EES ríkjanna í Brussel í dag, þar sem Kaja Kallas utanríkismálastjóri ESB var meðal þátttakenda. Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir tók þátt í þessum fundi; hún segir það ánægjulegt að aðildarríki ESB séu að ná samstöðu um harðari aðgerðir gagnvart Ísrael. Viljayfirlýsing um nánara samstarf á sviði utanríkis og öryggismála var einnig staðfest á þessum fundi. Björn Malmquist fréttamaður ræddi við Þorgerði Katrínu í Brussel í dag. Peningastefnunefnd Seðlabankans lækkaði stýrivexti í dag um 0,25 prósentustig, úr 7,75 prósent í 7,5. Þórarinn G. Pétursson varaseðlabankastjóri segir að verðbólgan þurfi að hjaðna í sumar til að hægt verði að halda vaxtalækkunarferlinu áfram. Horfur í efnahagsmálum séu góðar en óvissa á alþjóðamörkuðum út af tollastríði gæti sett strik í reikninginn. Menningarferðaþjónusta er nú í fyrsta sinn formlega skilgreind sem hluti af ferðamálastefnu stjórnvalda enda er menning talin afar mikilvægur þáttur í ferðaþjónustu og ferðamenn sem hingað koma njóta íslenskrar menningar með ýmsum hætti um allt land.

We first became aware of the story at the heart of this episode over three years ago. Details were scarce at the time, but we knew that heat casualties had been a major issue for units at Defener Pacific... except for one company that was completely unaffected. And as it turned out, that company had been doing afternoon physical training to deliberately prepare for the heat (plus leveraging H2F experts to optimize the training). Our guest for this episode was the commander of that company at the time, and he provides a ton of insight into how good training management left his company with zero heat casualties while the battalion experienced 45. MAJ Christian Wardynski is an Instructor of Economics in the Department of Social Sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, which he also graduated from in 2014. After graduating Engineer BOLC, Chris served in the 54th BEB, 173rd IBCT in Vicenza, Italy as a Light Equipment PL, Sapper PL, and BN Air Officer. Most recently, he served as the Company Commander for Bravo Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC. Chris holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from West Point, a Master of Science in Engineering Management from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago where he also served as a fellow at the Pearson Institute. Chris and his wife, Jackie, have four daughters.He also provided a bunch of clarifying notes that we'll share here:He said the DoD vs. VA alignment is a Principal-Agent Problem, but as he described it, it would probably fit the definition of a negative externality better - the DoD's decisions to "overuse"/ or under-rehabilitate soldiers impose uncompensated long-term healthcare costs on the VA (and thus the taxpayer); same for the current commander not considering the cost savings of proper rehabilitation/physical resiliency of soldiers for the next commander. Regardless, both principal-agent issue and externality issue apply. You can tell by this correction that he's a true econ instructor...For additional context on the heat acclimation they started in May 2021, they had Company STX the second week of June and he initially started reverse cycle PT to see if it'd help soldiers with performance during the STX event. They executed 9x ESB-style lanes focused on individual soldier and engineer tasks, and covered over 30 miles under load in 24 hours. As a bit of risk management for the event, he mandated that all soldiers had to eat at least the main meal of the MRE and a side, or three sides total if not eating the main meal, as well as the entire salt/electrolyte packet every four hours during the event. If they found any soldier who ate less than the required amount, it would result in a summarized article 15 (if there were no extenuating circumstances). It was on the TLs to decide if they needed to eat more frequently and if they wanted to eat on the move or not. Team leaders led their own teams movement through all the lanes and to each station. This provided a great opportunity for them to exercise some initiative and leadership. Surprisingly, zero heat casualties during this crucible event for the ~80 soldiers that completed it, despite a peak ~95 degree heat index in that timeframe. Regarding Defender Pacific, when he arrived to his company assembly area after the jump, his soldiers looked utterly unphased and appeared completely fresh. The BN TF, however, had about 45 heat casualties by that time. After the BN TF mission was complete, they had a 7 mi ruck to the training area where they'd rest overnight, and his soldiers handled the movement without any issue whatsoever. He did note that they did not have a very hard follow on mission, whereas most other companies in the BN TF had some pretty physically arduous movements/follow-on missions.

"Bitter" Truths, Big Beers, and Bold MovesThis week, we crack open a triple dose of hop-fueled commentary, brewery gossip, and World Beer Cup bombshells. We even got a little salty—literally.In Beers of the Week we pay tribute to a fallen Georgia brewer with Jekyll Brewing's Big Creek Kölsch. Jekyll, a longtime staple with both supporters and haters, is set to shut down all locations on Mother's Day. We dove deep into their history, rise, Kickstarter roots, and the harsh economics of brewery expansion in a post-industrial park taproom era.Then came the ESB talk. What the heck is an ESB anyway? Brian broke down the style—medium malt, medium hop, and no, it's not actually that bitter. We dug into the surprising World Beer Cup win: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale taking gold in the American ESB category. Wait, what? Pale Ale is an ESB now? According to the new guidelines, apparently so. The lines blur, styles evolve, and Brian drops knowledge.Speaking of the World Beer Cup, Georgia showed up big: 6 breweries, 9 medals. New Realm, Bold Monk, Wild Heaven, and others brought home serious hardware. We raised a glass to our local heroes and called out a few surprise absences (no Creature Comforts?).Economic chatter followed, and for once, the news wasn't all doom and gloom. The U.S. beer industry contributed over $470 billion in 2024, thanks to jobs, taxes, and of course, your favorite six-packs. But challenges remain—Tilray teeters on delisting, and even success stories sometimes mask hard decisions behind closed taproom doors.And finally, Tecate went weird: a salty light lager made with Gulf of Mexico water, available only on a floating bar off the Yucatan. No, really.So whether you're crushing cream ales with bourbon chasers, debating beer style semantics, or lamenting your favorite brewery's closure, this week's episode has you covered.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!
