Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Nog steeds vanuit het hart van Miracle Town in Costa Rica. Deze week gaat het in the Miracle Town Radio Show over Identiteitscrisis en het afscheid (moeten) nemen van oude Identiteiten. Ik had zelf niet in de gaten hoe sterk mijn (oude) identiteit van moeder (en daarna nana) is, terwijl mijn kinderen allemaal volwassen zijn en mij niet meer nodig hebben zoals toen ze klein waren. Dit op zich is natuurlijk logisch, maar ik had niet in de gaten dat ik hén nog altijd nodig had als bevestiging van mijn bestaan, terwijl ik een ander bestaan aan het opbouwen ben..! Dit blijkt een klassiek fenomeen bij Identity Shifts. De zgn IDENTITY DESTABILISATION OF THE OLD REFERENCE SYSTEM. Wanneer je stopt met jezelf te reguleren via externe bevestiging, voelt het systeem tijdelijk onbeschermd. Niet omdat je zwakker bent geworden, maar omdat je een oude regulatiestrategie niet meer gebruikt. De oude identity reguleerde zich via - nabijheid - bevestiging - respons van belangrijke anderen (In mijn geval dus mijn kinderen) De nieuwe Identity reguleert zich via: -interne stabiliteit -zelf referentie -structurele identiteit (Bij mij de Empire State Being) En precies op dat overgangspunt voelt het soms alsof je ‘bloot' bent. Niet omdat je minder stabiel bent, maar omdat je stabiliteit nu van binnenuit komt in plaats van van buitenaf. Dat is de identiteitscrisis. Niet het verlies van jezelf. Maar het verlies van de oude manier waarop je jezelf stabiliseerde. Wanneer je afscheid neemt van een oude identiteit kunnen er momenten zijn waarop je zenuwstelsel nog reageert vanuit de oude structuur. Niet omdat je perse terugvalt maar omdat je zenuwstelsel aan het leren is dat het zichzelf nu anders stabiliseert (of moet leren te stabiliseren) Je stabiliteit is dan niet langer afhankelijk van hoe anderen reageren, maar van wie je besloten hebt te zijn. In deze radio show weer reuze aha's bij mezelf hoe het vasthouden aan mijn ‘core' identity als moeder/nana mijn succes in de weg zat. Verder een gesprek over hoe je als Identity verder moet zonder je partner en wat te doen met al die ‘negatieve emoties' als schuld, schaamte, boosheid, verdriet etc. Want die zitten je manifestaties toch in de weg?! Dat hoeft dus helemaal niet. Hoe? dat hoor je in deze show. Het is een heel eerlijk en transparante show geworden, waarin ik de schellen die me weer eens van de ogen zijn gevallen openhartig met je deel. Inmiddels is in Miracle Town ook de Miracle Town Chronicles toegevoegd aan the MT Press & Broadcasting House. Inwoner worden van Miracle Town is nog steeds gratis. Dat kun je via deze link doen:

Oh lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Vanuit Miracle Town in Costa Rica. Jetlag is eigenlijk een hele mooie metafoor voor Identity Shifting en Identity Based Reality Creation. Je bent al in het nieuwe land, je bent al in de nieuwe tijdzone maar je lichaam moet zich nog aanpassen aan de nieuwe realiteit. Dat doe je door de nieuwe tijd aan te houden. Als je steeds vanuit je oude tijdzone zou blijven opereren dan zou je dus nooit echt aankomen. En dat is wat we zo vaak doen als het gaat om manifesteren, we blijven vanuit onze oude identiteit opereren. Hoe dan ook, in deze uitzending gaat het over verticaal bouwen in plaats van horizontaal bouwen. Als we maar in de breedte blijven meegaan met iedere creatieve ingeving, iedere nieuwe inspiratie, iedere nieuwe ruis, dan ben je steeds weg vlák voor de Miracle. STABILITEIT creëer je nieuwe REALITEIT. Blijf lang genoeg staan om gebruik te maken van de gravitational potential energy. Als je nét weer weg bent voor het dominosteentje kan vallen, dan kán je gedroomde realiteit zich niet ontvouwen. Rise UP! Verder hebben we het over de vraag of je bij je nieuwe Identity ook meteen een hele levensstijl ziet of dat je alleen bij het gevoel blijft dat alles er al is. En tot slot zijn Tika en ik hier weer begonnen met B-School. Zij voor haar nieuwe business, ik voor voor Miracle Town en mijn nieuwe workshop serie: Identity Shifting: van Identity naar Reality. Ik ben weer helemaal opnieuw geïnspireerd. Zowel voor B-School als voor mijn business zelf. Op dit moment is enrolment voor B-School geopend (tot vrijdag 20 februari). Deze keer kun je uit twee opties kiezen. Self pased of met coaching erbij. En ze heeft een speciale AI tool erbij ontwikkeld die er voor nieuwe B-Schoolers t.w.v $297, een jaar gratis bij zit. Ik denk dat je daarmee rázendsnel per module de hele outline van je business maakt. En de dollar is voor ons nu heel gunstig. Je vindt alle info over B-School hier:

Calls are being made for more lands in Clare to be zoned for green energy development. It follows Cabinet's approval of the Large Energy Action Plan, which aims to facilitate future investment in energy intensive sectors. The ESB is aiming to deliver the Green Atlantic at Moneypoint Project by 2029, which would power up to 1.6 million homes. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch, however, believes there's scopes for many more grid connections to Moneypoint and Ardnacrusha.

Episode 22 of Matt Likes Beer focuses on one of Matt's all-time favorite beer styles: the Strong Bitter. The featured beer is Trooper, the iconic Iron Maiden collaboration brewed by Robinsons Brewery in Cheshire, England, a beer Matt has been drinking—and defending—for years. Matt opens by clarifying a common misconception: while many drinkers refer to beers like this as “ESBs,” that name is technically reserved for Fuller's ESB. Under BJCP guidelines, Trooper is properly evaluated as 11C Strong Bitter, the strongest subcategory within the British Bitter family—though still very much a low-ABV, balance-driven beer. The episode explores Matt's long history with Trooper, including how its rarity and style alone made it an instant purchase when he first encountered it years ago. That history leads into a fascinating discovery: the vast global Iron Maiden beer lineup, brewed with multiple partners worldwide and spanning everything from lagers and IPAs to stouts, sake pilsners, and imperial beers—far beyond the single Trooper label most fans recognize. Using BJCP 11C Strong Bitter guidelines, Matt conducts a full judging breakdown, highlighting the beer's brilliant clarity, deep copper color, caramel-forward malt profile, restrained earthy hop character, and deceptively dry finish. While the beer hits many stylistic markers, excess sweetness and slightly muted bitterness hold it back in competition terms, resulting in a final score of 34 out of 50 (Very Good). As with many episodes, Matt emphasizes the distinction between judging to style and drinking for enjoyment. Despite the lower-than-expected score, he makes it clear that Trooper remains a beer he will gladly continue to drink whenever it's available. The episode then delivers a collection of savage one-star reviews, ranging from stale malt complaints to over-the-top Iron Maiden insults, providing some much-needed levity.

Embedding workplace wellbeing takes more than good intentions and one-off initiatives. It requires people across the organisation who are willing to champion it every day. In this episode of the Wellness Works mini-series on The HR Room Podcast, Dave Corkery and Laura Barry, Head of People Development at Insight HR, are joined by special guest Brian Crooke, Founder of Workplace Wellbeing Ireland and The Work Well Institute, to explore how wellbeing champions can bring strategy to life on the ground. Together, they unpack what a wellbeing champion really is (and what they're not), why peer-led influence is so powerful, and how champion networks help bridge the gap between wellbeing policy and everyday employee experience. The conversation covers how to select, train and support champions, the importance of role clarity and leadership backing, and how to avoid common pitfalls such as overload, lack of structure or tokenism. Drawing on practical examples from organisations across Ireland, including Irish Life and ESB, this episode offers clear, actionable guidance for HR professionals and leaders who want to embed wellbeing in a sustainable, credible and inclusive way - not just as an initiative, but as part of organisational culture. Guests Brian Crooke – Founder, Workplace Wellbeing Ireland & the Work Well Institute Topics include: What wellbeing champions are, and how they differ from mental health first aiders Why peer influence is critical to embedding wellbeing Selecting champions through voluntary, inclusive processes The importance of role clarity, expectations and boundaries Training champions to take ownership and shape their role Supporting champions without overwhelming them Governance, structure and leadership sponsorship of champion networks Measuring impact without turning wellbeing into a tick-box exercise Common mistakes organisations make, and how to avoid them What “good” looks like when a champion network is working well Useful Links & Resources Workplace Wellbeing Ireland – Wellbeing Champion Programmes Workwell Institute – Postgraduate Certificate in Workplace Wellness Insight HR – Workplace Wellbeing Consulting & Support Wellness Works Live Webinar – Designing Your Wellbeing Strategy (February 17) Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Terwijl jij deze aflevering binnenkrijgt ben ik onderweg naar Costa Rica. In deze aflevering onder andere hoe Identity zich verhoudt tot (je) Human Design. Zelf ben ik door het zijn van the Empire State Being een veel betere beschermer van mijn Projector Energy. Daarnaast een belangrijk verschil tussen het OMGevoel en de OMGlimlach. Die laatste zien we vaak als gewenning. Manifestaties leveren soms alleen nog een glimlach op en we zijn op zoek naar de pieken van het OMG!!gevoel. Maar de Identity die al heeft wat jij graag wilt ervaren, die hééft het al, dus die heeft ook geen OMG!!gevoel (meer) bij het leven wat ze leeft. Voor háár (hem) is het net zo gewoon als jouw realiteit op dit moment voor jou is. Dit is geweldig nieuws! Je bent niet blasé, je bent op het veld van: ‘of course, I manifested this. Dus ook al heb je geleerd dat je met manifesteren vast oefent met het gevoel dat je droom uitkomt, wil je éígenlijk al een stap verder, namelijk naar het gevoel dat het heel gewoon is dat je het (al) hebt. Normaliseer Miracles! En tot slot: Charlie en de Wonderlijke Wetten van Juf Universe is nu in een Super Sale. Voor het hele seizoen betaal je geen 244,- maar 98,-! Voor een upgrade van de Pilot naar het hele seizoen betaal je geen 222,- maar 88,50! Voor alleen de Pilot betaal je nu geen 27,27 maar maar 13,50..!! Alle info vind je hier:

Last month the government announced significant changes to the rules surrounding data centres. Gone was the moratorium imposed by the previous environment. Minister Eamonn Ryan and in came strict new rules for energy creation and usage. Digital Infrastructure Ireland says that the new rules are not enough and the likes of EirGrid and the ESB need to improve the provision of electricity infrastructure themselves. All to discuss with Michelle Wallace, Interim CEO of Digital Infrastructure Ireland.

Efnahagsmál Konráð Guðjónsson, hagfræðingur Már Wolfgang Mixa, dósent við HÍ Hver er staðan í efnahagsmálunum, er ástæða til að hafa áhyggjur, vextir áfram háir og verðbólga lætur ekki undan síga. Atvinnuleysi eykst en þó er enn mikill kraftur í vinnumarkaði og einkaneyslu veruleg á sama tíma og opinberir aðilar nota tækifærið til að hækka gjöld.  Alþjóðmál/loftslagsmál Geir Guðmundsson verkfræðingur Björn Brynjúlfur Björnsson, framkvæmdastjóri Viðskiptaráðs Er EST kerfið, meginverkfæri ESB til að draga úr losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda með því að krefja fyrirtæki um greiðslu fyrir útblástur sinn, íslendingum einstaklega óhagstætt. Undanþágur gilda til næstu áramót en viðbúið að gjöld hækki þá verulega - Viðskiptaráð krefst aðgerða af hálfu stjórnvalda en Geir segir þetta kerfi virka eins og það átti að gera.  Leikskólamál Halldóra Guðmundsdóttir, leikskólastjóri Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir, formaður Eflingar Bréf 63 leikskólastjóra til Reykjavíkurborgar í síðustu viku með kröfu um tafarlausar umbætur í rekstri leikskóla, vakti mikla athygli.

Ha lieve Luisteraar Lou hier. Met een nieuwe uitzending van de Miracle Town Radio Show. Deze week o.a. antwoord op de vraag of ik nou wel of niet op social moet/wil/zal zijn. Mijn pen en mijn journal gaven me confronterende inzichten… in deze aflevering de eerlijke waarheid. Verder heeft het zijn van de Empire State Being me enorm geholpen toen jaloezie zijn lelijke kop weer eens op stak. Nog niet eerder kon ik het zó helder zien en zo makkelijk shiften. Identity Based Reality Creation is the key and the cure gebleken. En. De hele maand februari kun je Charlie en de Wonderlijke Wetten van juf Universe voor €98,- I.p.v €244,- aanschaffen zodat je deze voorjaarsvakantie met je (innerlijke) kind(eren) alles kunt leren over de wonderlijke wetten van het universum, hoe je je eigen dromen waar kunt maken en je kunt experimenten doen die BEWIJZEN dat jouw gedachten écht effect hebben op materie. Zelfs de Pilot episode los kun je nu voor maar €13,50 I.p.v €27,27 kopen…We hebben er nog een stuk of 40, zowel van de Pilot episode als van het hele seizoen. Heb je de Pilot al? Dan kun je voor maar €88,50 ipv €222,- upgraden naar het héle seizoen. Alleen deze maand, of zodra we uitverkocht zijn, whatever comes first. Je vindt alle info hier

Hjördís Eyþórsdóttir er sennilega eina konan sem hefur haft fulla atvinnu af því áratugum saman að handleika spilastokk. Árangur hennar í spilum hefur leitt til þess að hún er tilnefnd í Hall of Fame bridgespilara í Bandaríkjunum. Hún ræðir lífið og vinnuna í samtali við Björn Þorláks.

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil where Asian and African elephants relocated from across South America live their best lives.Website: https://globalelephants.org/Donate: Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit.

Hey daar lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. Met weer een nieuwe Miracle Town Radio Show. Deze keer o.a. over de science achter de 5 mm Movement, het verschil tussen je Future Self en Identity en stap 3 van Identity Based Reality Creation. Maar ik begin deze uitzending met een mega OMG die ik gister had. Ongelooflijk hoe BLIND je kunt zijn, puur omdat je OVERTUIGD bent dat het er niet is. En dat was nog maar deel 1 van de OMG…!! Verder heeft de science achter de 5 mm movement en de ‘gravitational potential energy' van de dominostenen me enorm veel verder, hoger en dieper geholpen (het Nederlandse woord zwaarte-energie had me nooit bij het inzicht in deze radio show kunnen brengen..!) Plus: you can't start a fire without a spark, maar durf je tot een Bonfire uit te groeien en geen spark te blijven? Daarnaast dus nog het verschil tussen je Future Self en je Identify. Deze twee worden vaak door elkaar gehaald terwijl ze iets heel anders doen in je systeem. En tot slot stap 3 van Identity Based Reality Creation. Stap 1: Selecteer de tijdlijn van je gewenste Identity Stap 2: Stabiliseer je geselecteerde Identity Stap 3: hoor je in deze uitzending. Praat mee in the Miracle Town Cafe!

Join me on a journey deep into the reaches of the Coal Patch, following the anthracite trail to...Shamokin! I didn't think I'd do a coal country episode when I started the podcast, but Shamokin kept coming up (mostly because listener Jay Zalewski kept telling me about things in Shamokin), and here we are. But don't worry; Jay was right, this is a town worth a visit.  I interviewed Eric Kuijpers, a Dutch native who's been in the US for many years, and now owns and runs the Covered Bridge Brewhaus. We'll talk about his love for Dutch and Belgian beers, his micro-scale distilling, and why his flagship beer is named Ho-Butt.  We make other stops: the other brewery in town, Lost Mine-D,  and have an ESB. You know I love a good hot dog, like they have at the Coney Island Lunch, opened in 1918! I filled my cooler at Fisher's Boston Pierogi, and picked up some meaty snacks at Masser's Farm Market and Irish Isle Provisions. I met up with Jay and had drinks at Oliver's Cigars and Spirits, and the Heritage Restaurant & Pub, then enjoyed some pizza and camaraderie at James' Pizza, an old-time corner bar and pizza joint.  I learned a lot about the Coal Country, and I'll share it with you. But you really should go yourself, and meet the friendly inhabitants. Good bunch! What else? Well, What I'm Drinking Today is another Tröegs beer, their Dark Lager, but I'm doing it for a cause (and because it's really good!). The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about a winter jewel in the crown of Centre County, Black Moshannon State Park, where you can skate, ski, fish, and even go ice-boating; that's a wild ride! I don't talk about my new book, American Whiskey Master Class, for the first time in four months! Time we both took a break, eh?  Next episode? I don't know. Yet. I have one interview I can do, and I've got a couple I might do, and it's going to be one of those. The suspense is killin' me.   See you in two weeks! Until then?

In deze aflevering van Toegevoegde Waarde (uit het eerste seizoen) hoor je alles over de Nederlandse staatsschuld. Al decennia kent Nederland een torenhoge schuldenberg, maar aan wie is de staat dat geld eigenlijk verschuldigd? Hoe komen die leningen tot stand en nog belangrijker: moeten we die schulden niet aflossen? Daar gaan we het over hebben met Karen van der Wiel, econoom en plaatsvervangend directeur bij het Agentschap bij ministerie van Financiën, het instituut dat zich dagelijks bekommert over onze staatsschuld. Van der Wiel legt uit hoe en waarom staatsobligaties worden uitgegeven en vertelt hoe dat eeuwen geleden ging toen er nog geen snelle computers of dealingrooms waren. Ook spreken we met econoom en ESB-hoofdredacteur Jasper Lukkezen, die bij het Centraal Planbureau jarenlang onderzoek deed naar de staatsschuld. Hij vertelt je meer over de rol van een staatsschuld in de economie én legt uit waarom het zelfs voor heel rijke landen goed kan zijn om een staatsschuld te hebben. Volgende week zijn Anna en Marijn weer terug met een nieuwe aflevering.

Bókmenntir Einar Már Guðmundsson, rithöfundur Einar Kárason rithöfundur Þeir félagar segja frá nýútkomnum bókum og fjalla um stöðu bókmenntanna, tungumálsins og eitt og annað þessu tengt.  Stjórnmál Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir, formaður Sjálfstæðisflokksins Guðrún fer yfir stöðuna á vettvangi stjórnmálanna, fylgistap flokksins sem hún leiðir og framtíð hægrimennskunnar í íslenskum stjórnmálum auk annars.  Alþjóðamál/Úkraína Hilmar Þór Hilmarsson, prófessor við HA Hilmar ræðir stöðuna í Úkraínu í ljósi nýrrar þjóðaröryggisstefnu Bandaríkjanna og annarra tíðinda, m.a. lánveitingar ESB til Úkraínu og árlega blaðamannafundar Pútíns Rússlandsforseta þar sem hann ítrekaði kröfur sínar um að eigna sér stóra sneið af Úkraínu. 

Martin Michael, forstjóri Niceair 2,0, virðist ekki sérlega þekktur í flugheiminum og efasemdir hafa heyrst eftir kynningarfund hans á Akureyri á þriðjudag. Eins og hann hefur kynnt áform um að hefja flug milli Akureyrar og Kaupmannahafnar er ekki um að ræða flugfélag í eiginlegum skilningi, eða einhvers konar flugrekstur, segir Jón Karl Ólafsson, sem hefur áratuga reynslu af flugrekstri og ferðaþjónustu. Heldur sé þetta söluskrifstofa sem selji flugsæti í leiguflug. Meginástæða þess að framlög til neyðaraðstoðar í heiminum fara minnkandi er upplausn í alþjóðastjórnmálum, segja alþjóðlegu mannúðar- og hjálparsamtökin International Rescue Committee. Ný, reglubundin heimsskipan tuttugustu aldar hefur vikið fyrir nýrri heimsupplausn, með skelfilegum afleiðingum. Þessi heimsupplausn einkennist af vaxandi ágreiningi og átökum á alþjóðasviðinu, óstöðugum og síbreytilegum hagsmunablokkum, og auknu vægi hrossakaupa og baktjaldamakks. Lungann úr deginum sátu leiðtogar Evrópusambandsríkja og Volodímír Selenskí, forseti Úkraínu, á rökstólum í Brussel og ráðguðust um hvort og hvernig fjárhagsstuðningi ESB við Úkraínu yrði háttað næstu árin. Og sambandsríkin eru ekki á eitt sátt um hvort eigi að setja frystar eignir Rússa að veði fyrir láni til Úkraínu. Talað hefur verið um að ESB láni Úkraínustjórn 90 milljarða evra og fái þá endurgreidda, þá og þegar Rússar borga þeim stríðsskaðabætur.

Ireland's ambitions to strengthen female leadership across its technology sector have taken a leap forward with the launch of NOVA - Women in Tech Leadership Programme, designed specifically for the top tier of emerging female tech leaders. Created by Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet in partnership with Connecting Women in Tech (CWIT), NOVA will focus on combining human-centred leadership with the advanced strategic technology and AI-enabled capabilities expected of senior tech leaders in the years ahead. For the Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet, the NOVA programme builds on a decade of impact on women in the technology sector, through its multi award winning women tech returner programmes, bringing over 900 women back to the tech sector, and impacting on gender balance across the sector. The initiative will see over 20 professionals from 25 CWIT member companies advance their leadership journey when the first cohort commences in January. Máire Hunt, Director of Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet, said: "As a sector we must continually find new ways to attract, retain and promote women. Particularly in the age of AI, women can be disproportionately affected. The NOVA programme is a high-performance accelerator specifically designed for women leaders who can shape the future of technology in an AI driven world. It equips participants not just to take a seat at the table, but to shape it." Women are often underrepresented in tech and AI leadership roles, which can influence how AI systems are developed and implemented. If AI systems are developed without diverse perspectives, they may perpetuate biases that disproportionately affect women. Una Fitzpatrick Director of Technology Ireland, said: "Women in Technology already excel in their technical domain. However, they are under-represented at more senior management positions. Companies across the sector are looking for a sector driven, development pathway that prepares female leaders to make an impact in an AI driven world." Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet partnered with CWIT for the pilot NOVA programme, which was formally launched on Friday last. Maire Hunt added: "CWIT exists to help women thrive in the tech industry, so they were a natural partner for the first NOVA programme." The inaugural intake in January includes 25 female leaders across domains such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, fintech, AI services, semiconductors, and enterprise technology. Companies such as Ergo, ADM, HPE, Workday, Kerry Group, ESB, Mastercard, Salesforce, BT, Accenture and Microsoft are represented. Commenting, Sabrina Staunton of Mastercard and CWIT, said: "CWIT exists due to the power of the network to attract, retain and promote females to thrive in the technology space in Ireland. We are excited to launch the first-of-its-kind development program to address the challenge of female talent retention across the Irish technology industry, through the power of partnerships built on our collective power to empower." NOVA includes modules on strategic thinking, future technologies, emotional intelligence, AI-enabled decision making, high-impact communication and personal leadership identity. Combining live workshops, one on one coaching and a leadership impact project, the NOVA programme blends in-person and virtual sessions, one on one coaching and practical insights. Held over a six-month period it is designed to build skills progressively and embed new leadership habits. Individual companies can also deliver the programme in-house for groups of female leaders. Version 1 is one example where the programme is contextualised for a fast-growing AI driven organisation. Ireland's technology sector employs more than 170,000 people across global multinationals, high-growth Irish companies and a vibrant start-up ecosystem. As businesses continue to adapt to AI-driven transformation, programmes such as NOVA that develop strategic awareness, adaptability and leadership presence will be in de...

We're back after our holiday and have a lot to talk about! Kat and Scott have just returned from the US, where part of their trip included attending one of the film festivals screening The Ramba Effect, the documentary about Chile's last circus elephant and beloved late ESB resident, Ramba. We also share how Kenya is doing after the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her companion, Pupy.As the year draws to a close, we turn to our end-of-year fundraiser, which kicked off on GivingTuesday, 2 December. This year's campaign is made up of two parts: the GivingTuesday goal of USD 150,000 (including a USD 75,000 match), and a second year-end goal of another USD 150,000 (with a USD 75,000 match). In total, the combined goal is USD 300,000, with USD 150,000 of that coming from matching donations. This campaign supports the major expansion of the Female Asian Habitat: an additional approximately 200 acres, bringing the total area for the girls to around 280 acres.The new area is one large, undivided landscape with natural vegetation, hills, streams, and endless opportunities for exploration — offering Maia, Rana, Mara, Bambi, and Guillermina even more freedom, choice, and room to heal.*For scale: 280 acres ≈ 1.13 km², or about 159 soccer fields, 212 American football fields, and roughly one-third the size of Central Park in New York City.The next podcast airs on Tuesday, 30.

Rætt er við Heiðu Njólu Guðbrandsdóttur verkfræðing og forstöðumann hjá Icelandair um þann gríðarlega kostnað sem fellur á íslensk flugfélög í formi umhverfisskatta- og gjalda, en hún er sérfræðingur í margs konar kerfum sem sett hafa verið á flugfélögin í nafni loftlagsmála. Heiða Njóla útskýrir í þættinum hvernig ETS viðskiptakerfi Evrópusambandsins með losunarheimildir virkar og hver þróunin hefur verið og fer yfir plönin framundan. Annar vaxandi kostnaðarliður í rekstri flugfélaga er SAF eða sjálfbært eldsneyti og hefur ESB sett reglur um að notkun á því skuli margfaldast á næstu árum. Þá er einnig til kerfi á vegum ICAO Alþjóðaflugmálastofnunarinnar sem kallast CORSIA og heldur utan um losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda í alþjóðaflugi, svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Öll þessi kerfi þýða marga milljarða króna kostnað á ári fyrir félag eins og Icelandair og útfærslan þýðir að Ísland ber langhæstu kostnaðarbyrðar allra landa Evrópu í formi loftlagsskatta. Núverandi plön og regluverk gerir ráð fyrir að þessi kostnaður muni bara hækka á næstu árum og það verulega. Áhugavert og upplýsandi viðtal um stöðu flugsins í þessu samhengi.

Hagsmunagæsla utanríkisþjónustu Íslands og Noregs í tengslum við verndartolla Evrópusambandsins á járnblendi var ein sú víðtækasta sem ráðist hefur verið í. Reyndar þótti embættismönnum ESB framganga vera slík að þeir sáu ástæðu til að kvarta undan henni. Konumorð eru ekki framin í tómarúmi, skrifar Sara Hendriks, framkvæmdastjóri Stefnumótunar Sameinuðu þjóðanna í málefnum kvenna, heldur eru þau oft endapunktur á löngu, samfelldu ofbeldisferli sem getur byrjað með drottnunargirni, hótunum og áreitni, þar á meðal rafrænni. Kynbundið, stafrænt ofbeldi gegn konum er einmitt það sem athyglinni er sérstaklega beint að á alþjóðadegi gegn ofbeldi á konum að þessu sinni. Árið 2025 verður gott ár í íslenskum sjávarútvegi og markmiðið sem fyrr er að reyna að fá sem mest verðmæti út úr hverjum fiski sem veiddur er. Jónas Gestur Jónasson, löggiltur endurskoðandi og meðeigandi hjá Deloitte, fór yfir afkomu í sjávarútvegi á Sjávarútvegsdeginum sem haldinn var í dag. Það eru stórar tölur í uppgjörum fyrirtækjanna, milljarðavelta og umræðan á þá leið að þarna græði menn á tá og fingri.

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.

Government-backed not-for-profit Business For Biodiversity Ireland has opened up its membership for 2026 to Irish businesses now and said there is no time to lose for the private sector to start factoring nature into decision-making to maintain a sustainable society and economy for Ireland. BFBI is partnering with global experts Business For Nature, Deloitte WorldClimate and KPMG Sustainable Futures Teams as they deliver a Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme, including an online information hub, step-by-step guidance and workshops to help Irish businesses of every size and sector to be prepared and understand the steps they should be taking regarding nature-related risk. Nature initiative for Irish businesses to boost biodiversity BFBI Executive Director Dr Maria Fitzpatrick said: "It is clear that 'business as usual' is not an option anymore, as the 2025 WWF Global Risks Report warns, four of the top 10 risks in the 10-year forecast are environment-related risks. With our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme, we support our members to understand the risks ahead, build resilience in the face of those challenges and find ways to adapt to what's in store." BFBI offers expert guidance and peer support, with long-term members including Bank of Ireland, Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail, ESB and SAP Landscapes involved since soon after BFBI's founding in 2021, with seed-funding support from National Parks and Wildlife Services and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. "Their feedback as they navigate the evolving sustainability reporting landscape has helped shape the BFBI Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme which incorporates international best practice, leading science-based frameworks and updates to help businesses to stay abreast of ESG regulation. "The members currently in our Strategy Track have been working closely with us since close to our inception and have been developing and honing their Nature Strategy and feeding back to us in workshops about the challenges and opportunities involved in navigating stakeholder engagement, environmental reporting and monitoring and assessment of their biodiversity actions in an ongoing, iterative process. Their testimonials feature on our website and our new brochure, available at businessforbiodiversity.ie" Many more businesses are joining each year, and BFBI has been undertaking research and educational collaborations with Irish institutions including Trinity College Dublin and Bord Iascaigh Mhara, and fellow initiatives including Horizon Nua and Go Nature Positive, and now various local authorities as they lead the movement to a Nature Positive Economy for Ireland. Maria adds: "We are collaborating on an upcoming free webinar with Waterford City & County Council. The overall aim of all our work is to support businesses in the move to a Nature Positive Economy for Ireland. This is a concept that emerged as a global goal, via a collaborative forum of business and nature institutions of which BFBI is a member, which aims to ensure, put simply, more nature in the world in 2030 than in 2020 and continued recovery after that. We advocate for ensuring that all of our economic and policy decisions are made with this goal in mind." BFBI has also collaborated with National Parks and Wildlife Services on the Biodiversity Duty for Public Bodies - a guidance document on how to assess and report on their biodiversity impacts and actions, launched earlier this year by Minister for Nature Christopher O'Sullivan, Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage. What is the Business For Biodiversity Ireland Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme? The Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme consists of four stages to progress through at the businesses' own pace.

Sviðsstjóri ákærusviðs hjá lögreglunni segir það hafa verið vonbrigði þegar lögreglan fékk ekki heimild hjá dómstólum til að fylgjast með vændisstarfsemi í grónu íbúðarhverfi í Reykjavík.

Michael worked with Sony again less than 10 years later. 2006 Evanescence were at No.1 on the US album chart with their second album 'The Open Door.' It became the 700th No.1 album in Billboard since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956.

ESB says it expects the majority of electricity outages, caused by Storm Amy, in Clare to be restored before tonight. As a status yellow warning for wind expires, at present there are 640 homes, farms and business remain without power across the county, down from 5,500 at the height of the storm. The east of the county was worst affected, with over half of the remaining outages seen in Tulla, Bodyke, O'Callaghan's Mills, Scariff, Whitegate and Ogonnelloe. ESB Clare Area Manager, Alan Hogan, says they're expecting all major outages to be rectified today, however, some small pockets will remain without power overnight.

Over 70 graduates from Irish and international third-level institutions, spanning disciplines such as engineering, IT, HR, commercial, marketing, and finance, have joined ESB's bespoke Graduate Programme. The programme offers each graduate the chance to work on impactful assignments and major projects, gaining hands-on experience across the diverse areas of the organisation.

Budget 2026 must include tax measures to support green energy innovators, according to Hydrogen Ireland. With less than four weeks to go until October 7th, the organisation has identified supportive fiscal frameworks as crucial elements of the drive to promote emerging opportunities. CEO of Hydrogen Ireland, Paul McCormack, says the right framework of technologies and personnel with the right skillsets must be in place - and that requires support for funding now: "With the right approach, hydrogen projects could be having an impact on Ireland's energy landscape in three to five years. To achieve that, our hydrogen economy needs to be underpinned by a progressive tax strategy - one that rewards innovation, de-risks investment, and aligns fiscal tools with our climate ambition. We engage with dozens of investors and international organisations that all recognise Ireland's potential as the epicentre of the hydrogen revolution. What we need is the right support framework to convince them to invest here. We need to provide tax reliefs that will help convince people that Ireland is ready to lead the way towards a just transition, with hydrogen as a central element on that journey". Paul McCormack's comments follow the Taoiseach's comments in a letter to the EC President Ursula von der Leyen, expressing concerns about the impact of rising energy costs on semiconductor chipmakers, and calling for 'interim measures' to be taken to address the situation. CEO of Hydrogen Ireland Paul McCormack welcomed Taoiseach Micheál Martin's decision to raise the issue directly with Ms von der Leyen and sees the move as 'a strategic inflection point': "If Europe wants to lead in high tech, semiconductors, big data and AI, it must also lead in clean, affordable energy. That means coupling hydrogen innovation, grid reform, and industrial resilience into one cohesive vision. "Thanks to progress made to date, Ireland is in a prime position to harness the full potential of green hydrogen. We're calling on the government to create the kind of fiscal environment that will capitalise on the work done so far and allow innovators the space to accelerate progress towards a cleaner energy future for ourselves and our European neighbours". The global hydrogen dialogue will take centre stage at the World Hydrogen Technologies Convention in Dublin from October 21 - 23. Hosted by Hydrogen Ireland, WHTC is one of the best-known conventions in the fields of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology. Speakers will include Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Timmy Dooley TD, Tony O'Reilly, Founder and CEO of dCarbonX and President of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, Dr Ayfer Verizoglu. Sponsors include ESB, Gas Networks Ireland and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

I 1983 dúradh gur shiúil Garda nach raibh ar dualgas isteach chuig áit agus beir madra air agus níor scaoil sé leis. Chuaigh sé chuig an úinéir agus dúirt an t-úinéir gur ardaigh sé a cos chuig an madra. I 1997 bhí Dúlainn níos fearr agus bhí níos mó daoine ag dul ann nuair a tharla rásaíocht chapall sa bhaile.

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.

 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.
