Bom dia! Vamos para mais uma #MensagemDoDia (https://open.spotify.com/show/29PiZmu44AHH8f93syYSqH)A escritura de hoje está em Lucas 1:37–38 "Pois para Deus nada é impossível. Respondeu Maria: 'Sou serva do Senhor; que aconteça comigo conforme a tua palavra'."Palavras Cheias de FéAs palavras têm um poder extraordinário. Uma jovem chamada Maria ficou grávida, não por um homem, mas por uma palavra vinda de Deus.Quando o anjo Gabriel apareceu a ela e disse: "Maria, você é muito favorecida! Você conceberá e terá um bebê sem conhecer homem algum", ela estava diante de algo humanamente impossível. Mas entenda: quando Deus quer criar algo novo, Ele não usa coisas materiais; Ele usa palavras.Maria poderia ter focado na lógica e dito: "Isso é impossível, nunca aconteceu antes". Em vez disso, ela disse: "Que aconteça comigo conforme a tua palavra". Ela entrou em concordância com Deus. Ela usou suas palavras para confirmar o que ouviu, e não para debater o que ouviu.Quando Deus coloca uma promessa no seu coração, o seu papel é simplesmente concordar com Ele. A Escritura diz: "Pelas Suas feridas você foi curado". Não debata isso dizendo: "Mas eu não me sinto curado".Crie o hábito de falar palavras cheias de fé. Diga: "Senhor, obrigado porque eu já fui curado. Que se cumpra em mim o que a Tua Palavra diz". Pare de analisar o impossível e comece a declarar a promessa!Vamos fazer uma oraçãoPai, obrigado porque nenhuma das Tuas palavras jamais falhou ou falhará.Assim como Maria, eu declaro que sou altamente favorecido e que as Tuas promessas para a minha vida se cumprirão. Eu escolho alinhar as minhas palavras com as Tuas, acreditando que o Senhor fará o impossível acontecer.Em nome de Jesus, Amém.

1. La Crisis del Arbitraje y el concepto de "Feudo"Problemas estructurales: Elmer Bonía explica que el arbitraje se maneja como un "feudo", donde impera el amiguismo y la falta de transparencia en las designaciones y evaluaciones [33:51].Falta de profesionalismo: Se critica que las comisiones de arbitraje suelen ser ad honorem, lo que limita el compromiso y la capacidad de exigir resultados reales [24:41].Crítica a la reunión con Iván Barton: Lisandro Pohl cuestiona la foto de la reunión entre la federación y el árbitro Iván Barton, calificándola de "pantomima mediática" que no ataca la raíz del problema, sino que busca calmar las aguas tras un error puntual [18:04].2. Análisis de la Jornada de LigaInter FA vs. Águila: Consideran que es un partido difícil para Águila, que viene de una derrota dura ante Alianza, mientras que Inter FA busca recuperar el liderato tras perder su invicto [41:51].Cacahuatique vs. FAS: Se menciona que FAS es favorito por su racha de victorias, a pesar de los problemas de impago y liquidez que han rodeado al equipo recientemente [45:13].Alianza vs. Municipal Limeño: Una prueba de fuego para Limeño para demostrar si está para pelear cosas serias, enfrentando a un Alianza motivado tras su victoria 3-0 ante Águila [56:14].Duelo por el descenso: El partido entre Fuerte San Francisco y Zacatecoluca es calificado como de "alarma", ya que una derrota de Fuerte San Francisco los dejaría en una situación muy comprometida en la tabla acumulada [58:24].3. Moneda Conmemorativa del ÁguilaSe realizó el "unboxing" de una moneda de edición limitada (solo 100 unidades) por los 100 años del Club Deportivo Águila [40:52].La moneda tiene un valor de $59.90 y se puede adquirir en la tienda oficial en línea del equipo [44:34].4.

Welcome to CropCast Conversations. On today's episode Mark is joined by Iain Riddell. Iain was a consultant and project manager with SAC Consulting for 45 years, before becoming self-employed and operating under Graystones Consulting. Iain's work focuses on agricultural supply chains and his main interest is industrial hemp, which will be the focus of this episode. The global market for hemp is expected to quadruple by 2030 and as markets here evolve, there is great potential for Scotland's farmers to reap the benefits. Hemp was actually grown in Scotland in the Middle Ages for rope and textile production, before it became more economic to import, to make ropes and sails for ships. It has recently attracted interest as a new arable crop as more uses for hemp become viable, including fibre/shiv for insulation and boarding in house construction and seeds used for cold pressed oil and food health products, plus many other uses. Hemp has also been shown to improve soil structure and quality, store CO2 and improve biodiversity and could play an important role in reducing Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions. There is potential for this highly versatile crop to be a profitable break crop for farmers as demand increases for biobased materials to replace products derived from fossil fuels. Industrial hemp is used across sectors such as agriculture, automotives, bio-energy, construction, food and beverages, furniture, paper, personal care, recycling and textiles. Several years field crop experience in Angus and the Borders, and hemp crop trials in Scotland in 2024 has confirmed that the crop grows well in our climate.

You are listening to Agri Culture, a podcast that aims to explore the stories of the people that make up our agricultural industry and culture of farming, in Scotland and beyond. On today's episode Mary-Jane Lawrie is joined by Bertie Troughton, Hugh Chamerlain and Laura McDonald of Atholl Estates. They join us to talk about how in recent years they have started to move towards regenerative farming practices, a big shift in focus for the farms and the staff who work there. They share what has worked well for them, balancing agricultural productivity, with biodiversity and sustainability goals. It's clear that community resilience is important to them as they refer to the longer-term initiatives such as peatland restoration and woodland planting, in hand with shorter term wins such as sward diversity and enjoying the flora and fauna now found on Atholl Estates. Thanks for joining us for this episode of Agri Culture. If you'd like to find out more about Atholl Estates, you can find links in the show notes.

Muhyiddîn İbn Arabî, kitaplarında kendi miraç tecrübesinden beş defa bahseder. Mahmûd Ğurâb, bunları “el-Hayâl” isimli kitabında bir araya getirmiştir. Bir miracını anlatırken, bunun önceki miracından seneler sonra gerçekleştiğini söylemesinden (Bk. Mahmud Ğurâb, el-Hayal, s.152) anlaşılıyor ki İbn Arabî, birden fazla miraç tecrübesi yaşamış ve bunları farklı metinlerde farklı üsluplarla anlatmıştır. “Kitâbu'l-İsrâ ilâ'l-Makâmi'l-Esrâ” isimli eserini 594/1198'de Fas'ta yaşadığı bir miraç tecrübesini anlatmak üzere yazmıştır. Remizlerle dolu bu eserde secili nesir ve sık sık da nazım yoluyla oldukça edebî bir dil kullanmıştır. Fütûhât-ı Mekkiyye'nin 367. bâbında ise miraç tecrübesini edebî bir üslup kullanma kaygısı gütmeden daha anlaşılır bir dille detaylıca açıklamıştır. Biz, Fütûhât'ın bu bâbında anlatılan miracı özetleyeceğiz.

While completing a functional behavior assessment is an ethical requirement before engaging in behavior change programming, only a minority of BCBAs consistently do this. And since many of the barriers to completing FAs revolve around seemingly insurmountable (and ethical concern of) risks to clicents, wouldn't having a more structured way to assess the risk of an FA and more quickly review mitigating factors provide a potential solution to these problems? Well, that's exactly what Dr. Stephanie Peterson and her former students Dr. Rebecca Eldridge and Dr. Neil Deochand thought when they developed their Functional Analysis Risk Assessment Decision Tool. This week, as voted on by our Patrons, how to complete a risk assessment before starting your functional analysis from the people at the forefront of this research.

The aircraft was equipped with Garmin Aviation’s latest Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Autoland systems, automatically engaged when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels. The system selected a suitable airport per Garmin criteria (KBJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), navigated to it, and landed safely.

Boeing's $724 million radar plane lives on, despite Pentagon efforts to kill it The E‑7 Wedgetail program is designed to replace the legacy E‑3 Sentry/AWACS-type aircraft (Airborne Warning And Control System) with a modern, networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform. The E-7 is designed to provide long-range, 360° air and maritime surveillance using an electronically scanned array radar mounted on a Boeing 737 airframe. It's intended to serve as an airborne battle management node, coordinating fighters, surface units, and ground-based air defenses. The Pentagon wants to cancel the purchase of two prototype E-7 Wedgetail jets, but Congress refuses to do so. In fact, Congress provided $847 million in additional funding for the two prototypes. Major Radio Failure Paralyzes Greek Airspace A major failure of aviation radio communications across Greece led to a temporary shutdown of Greek airspace, grounding or diverting flights nationwide for several hours and causing knock-on disruption across Europe. The collapse of radio frequencies in the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) forced authorities to halt departures and arrivals until communications were partially restored. Travelers stranded in Caribbean as US military operation sends airlines scrambling to add flights A US military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro led to a temporary FAA closure of Caribbean airspace, causing more than 425 flight cancellations and stranding thousands of travelers across islands including Puerto Rico, Anguilla, St. Maarten, and Aruba. Airlines are now restoring service and adding extra capacity, with most commercial restrictions lifted and operations gradually normalizing. Alaska Airlines Captain Sues Boeing Over 737Max Door Plug Incident Alaska Airlines captain Brandon Fisher has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Boeing and subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems, alleging they tried to make him a scapegoat for the January 5, 2024, mid‑air door plug blowout on Flight 1282. He claims Boeing falsely suggested the incident was due to maintenance or crew error, despite later NTSB findings that pointed to Boeing's inadequate training, guidance, and oversight in its manufacturing processes. Fisher says he has suffered “profound physical and mental repercussions” since the blowout, describing ongoing deterioration linked to emotional injury. Alaska Airlines Hits New All Time Record of 540+ Flight Attendants Going Sick With Carrier Struggling to Operate Full Schedule Flight attendants and pilots are calling out sick in great numbers as the flu season takes hold. Alaska Airlines reports that 540 flight attendants are out. Meanwhile, Frontier, JetBlue, and Spirit have activated contingency plans. In an internal memo, Spirit Airlines said, “Our reserve levels are virtually the same as they have been since 2023, but during this holiday, our sick calls have exceeded previous periods by nearly 250% on some days.” Weather delays and ATC shortages have compounded the problem. A memo reviewed by PYOK explained that nearly 20% of the airline's flight attendants called out sick just before the New Year. My Crew Is Done: United Airlines Captain Refuses to Push Tired Flight Attendants And One Passenger Thanks Him For The Delay FAA regulations generally limit a flight attendant's maximum scheduled duty day to 14 hours on domestic flights. With an augmented crew (adding additional flight attendants), duty can be scheduled beyond 14 hours but is capped at 20 hours. This PYOK article relates the observations of a passenger who saw a United Airlines Captain refuse the attempts of the ground crew to keep the timed-out flight attendants on the boarded plane while another cabin crew could be found. With the FAs exiting the plane, the passengers would have to deplane. Top 10 airlines with the biggest fleets in 2026 United Airlines has the largest fleet with 1,050 single-aisle and widebody aircraft. American Airlines follows with 1,023 aircraft, then Delta Airlines (989), Southwest Airlines (810), China Southern Airlines (708), China Eastern Airlines (679), Skywest Airlines (600), Air China (531), Turkish Airlines (399), and Ryanair (349). The data comes from Planespotters.net and individual airlines. It is current as of December 2025. Mentioned Micah was a guest on WBZ, AM Radio 1030 in Boston with Bradley Jay.

À la une aujourd'hui : douze photographies marquantes, choisies avec soin par la rédaction de Courrier International. Des images signées des photographes des agences AFP et Reuters, mais aussi du New York Times. La première, celle d'une « jeunesse en colère » prise dans les rues de la capitale du Népal, Katmandou, c'était le 8 septembre dernier. Une jeune femme, cheveux bruns, manifeste les yeux dans l'objectif, un regard en colère et un drapeau népalais derrière le dos. Selon Courrier International, cette photo « symbolise à elle seule la révolte de la génération Z, qui aura marqué les esprits dans de très nombreux pays en 2025 (...) »  Donald Trump aura également marqué l'année 2025. Courrier International a choisi de publier une photo prise la veille de son investiture, le 19 janvier. On y voit le milliardaire républicain rejoindre sur scène le groupe Village People pour une danse pour le moins surprenante. « Depuis, le très disco “YMCA”, longtemps hymne de la communauté gay (même si le groupe s'en défend aujourd'hui), est devenu la bande-son officielle de toutes les sorties de Donald Trump. » explique la légende de la photo. Beaucoup de conflits représentés La guerre en Ukraine a aussi marqué l'année avec une photographie prise à Soumy, ville du nord-est du pays, le 13 avril 2025. « L'Ukraine sous pression » peut-on lire en titre. On y voit un soldat ukrainien épuisé, assis sur des débris, la main tenant sa tête changée à jamais par la guerre. « Le dimanche des Rameaux, deux missiles balistiques ont frappé le centre de Soumy, faisant 34 morts et 80 blessé » explique la légende. C'est l'une des attaques russes les plus meurtrières de l'année. « Gaza, un champ de ruines » est le titre donné à un autre cliché. Sur la photographie on voit un ciel bleu qui contraste avec des bâtiments gris et abîmés. L'un d'eux est en train de tomber, disparaître… avalé par une fumée noire et une poussière opaque. La scène se passe en septembre dernier, dans « le quartier de Tel Al-Hawa, dans le sud-est de la ville de Gaza, (...) après un nouveau bombardement israélien. » explique la légende. « Depuis, les armes se sont tues dans l'enclave palestinienne, mais la trêve reste fragile en attendant le lancement de la phase 2 du plan de Trump, qui prévoit notamment le désarmement du Hamas et le retrait de [l'armée israélienne]. » Le Soudan aussi est représenté par une photo marquante : celle d'un Khartoum défiguré. Sur ce cliché pris le 28 mars 2025, on y voit un soldat soudanais faisant sa prière devant un véhicule blindé incendié. « Cette guerre qui échappe aux radars de l'actualité et qui oppose, depuis avril 2023, les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) du général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, dit « Hemeti », aux forces armées soudanaises (FAS), dirigées par le général Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan ». La légende de la photo rappelle que c'est « une guerre qui « provoque “la pire crise humanitaire et de déplacement au monde”, selon l'ONU. Près de 13 millions de personnes ont été déplacées, les maladies se propagent et la famine, confirmée dans dix régions, s'étend. »  Une autre photo, sélectionnée par Courrier international : deux femmes au regard épuisé, les mains autour de leurs enfants dans un bus pour fuir Goma – capitale du Nord Kivu dans l'Est de la RDC. Le cliché est pris « À la frontière, entre la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, le 19 mai 2025. » Ce bus est « affrété par le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés [et] rapatrie des civils rwandais qui fuient les combats autour de Goma, où les rebelles du M23, soutenus par Kigali, font régner la terreur. » Courrier International recontextualise dans la légende : le 4 décembre, le président congolais, Félix Tshisekedi, et son homologue rwandais, Paul Kagame, ont signé à Washington un accord de paix très fragile. Et de fait, moins d'une semaine après, Uvira, deuxième grande ville du Sud-Kivu, tombe face à la pression du M23.  « Au moins 10 000 réfugiés affluent vers le Burundi pour fuir les combats, selon le site burundais “Iwacu”. » Haïti, les manifestations de l'opposition en Turquie sont aussi représentées dans la sélection de photos 2025 de Courrier international. Sur une note un peu plus légère et sportive, on retrouvera aussi du bleu, du blanc, du rouge sur les Champs-Élysées… C'était le 1er juin 2025 avec « le sacre européen des joueurs du Paris Saint-Germain, qui défilent en bus pour présenter leur trophée à leurs supporteurs. La veille, les joueurs de Luis Enrique ont écrasé l'Inter de Milan en finale de la Ligue des champions (5-0), à Munich. Un titre après lequel le club de la capitale courait depuis des années. »  Paris, capitale des espions ? Cette semaine dans l'Express on nous explique pourquoi Paris est surnommée la « capitale des espions ». Il faut dire que le folklore et la culture parisiennes ont été parfaitement intégrés par les services de renseignements du monde entier. On parle par exemple « de la diplomatie des grands hôtels ». Ces palaces parisiens où se déroulent souvent des discussions secrètes, notamment sur la guerre à Gaza. « Les services de renseignements ont intégré les charmes de Paris dans leur programme : tant à la DGSE qu'à la DGSI. (…) Le bateau-mouche, un « grand classique » sourit un ex-agent secret. » La cuisine française plaît aussi beaucoup aux agents des renseignements. Interrogé par l'Express, un ex-patron de la DST confie : « Les espions sont comme tout le monde, ils aiment la gastronomie. Ils ont souvent une préférence pour la cuisine française à l'ancienne. Après ça ils coopèrent tous. » Sur le plan pratique, certaines stations de métro comme La Motte-Picquet Grenell, dans le 15e arrondissement, sont particulièrement appréciées, car elles possèdent beaucoup d'entrées et de sorties, c'est qui est plus simple pour disparaître quand on est suivi, raconte un ancien agent de la CIA. Rivalisation avec d'autres capitales Comment expliquer cet attrait pour Paris chez les espions ? Parmi les raisons exposées, il y a la position géographique de la capitale. Paris est un lieu de choix pour les rendez-vous clandestins : « Si vos sources sont au Moyen-Orient ou en Afrique, leur connexion naturelle vers le reste du monde passe toujours par la France », peut-on lire. Paris rivaliserait à la fois « avec Vienne pour le fortement entre l'Ouest et l'Est, avec Genève pour les tractations dans les palaces, avec Bruxelles pour le renseignement politique et même avec New York L'Unesco est « une couverture de rêve », raconte L'Express. Le magazine explique que l'organisation internationale culturelle basée à Paris abrite de nombreux agents secrets opérant au nez et à la barbe du contre-espionnage français. Toutes les institutions internationales connaissent ce phénomène d'espionnage car « elles facilitent des procédures d'accréditation spécifique. » Par ailleurs, la culture « ça permet d'aller partout, personne ne vérifie ce que vous faites, vous avez du temps libre » raconte un ancien coordonnateur adjoint du renseignement de l'Élysée.  Tout ça est digne d'un roman d'espionnage.

Now, here’s your host. Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host Alan Hall in the queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina, where a cold front is just blown through, but we’re not nearly as cold as Joel was up in Wisconsin, Joel, you had a bunch of snow, which is really the first big storm of the season. Joel Saxum: Yeah, the crazy thing here was the Wind Energy Podcast. So since that storm I, we, we got up in northern Wisconsin, 18 inches of snow, and then we drove down on last Saturday after US Thanksgiving through Iowa, there’s another 18 inches of snow in Des Moines. I talked to a more than one operator that had icing and snow issues at their wind farms all through the northern Midwest of these states. So from [00:01:00] North Dakota. All the way down to Nebraska, Northern Missouri, over into Indiana. There was a ton of turbines that were iced up and or snowed in from that storm, Allen Hall: and Rosemary was in warm Australia with other icing knowledge or de-icing knowledge while the US has been suffering. Rosemary Barnes: But you know, on the first day of summer here, a couple of days ago, it was minus one here overnight. So. Um, yeah, it’s, uh, unseasonable and then tomorrow it’ll be 35. Allen Hall: The smartest one of us all has been Yolanda, down in Austin, Texas, where it doesn’t get cold. Yolanda Padron: Never. It’s so nice. It’s raining today and that’s about it. Traffic’s going crazy. Joel Saxum: Rain is welcome for us, isn’t it though, Yolanda? Yolanda Padron: It’s sweet. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does. Very rainy for like 24 hours. Allen Hall: We’ve been saving a story for a couple of weeks until Rosemary is back and it has to do with birds and a year long study over [00:02:00] in Germany. And as we know, one of the most persistent arguments against wind energy has been the risk to birds and permitting and operation shutdowns have been the norm, uh, based on models and predicted collision risks. Well. A new study comes, has just come out that says, what if the models are all wrong? And the new German study suggests that they may be wrong. The Federal Association of Offshore Wind Energy, known by its German acronym, BWO Commission Research to examine. Actual collision risk at a coastal wind farm in Northern Germany. The study was conducted by Biocon Consult, a German research and consulting firm, and funded by eight major offshore wind operators, including Sted, Vattenfall, RWE, and E, roa, and. Rosemary using some of the newer technology. They were able to track bird movements with radar [00:03:00] and AI and stereo vision cameras to, to watch birds move through and around, uh, some of these wind farms. And it analyzed more than 4 million bird movements and over 18 months, and they searched for collision victims and what they found was pretty striking more than 99.8% of both day migrating and night migrating birds. Avoided the turbines entirely. The study found no correlation between migration intensity and collision rates. And BD and BWO says The combination of radar and AI based cameras represents a methodological breakthrough. Uh, that can keep turbines moving even when birds are in transit. This is pretty shocking news, honestly, Rosemary, I, I haven’t seen a lot of long-term studies about bird movements where they really had a lot of technology involved to, besides binoculars, to, to look at bird movement. The [00:04:00] 99.8% of the migrating birds are going around The turbines. No, the turbines are there. That’s. Really new information. Rosemary Barnes: I think. I mean, if you never heard anything about wind turbines and birds, I don’t think you’d be shocked like that. Birds mostly fly around obstacles. That’s probably an intuitive, intuitive answer. Because we’ve had it shoved down our throat for decades now. Wind turbines are huge bird killers. It’s kind of like, it’s been repeated so often that it kind of like sinks in and becomes instinctive, even though, yeah, I do think that, um, it’s. Not that, that shocking that an animal with eyes avoids a big obstacle when it’s flying. Um, but it is really good that somebody has actually done more than just trying to look for bird deaths. You know, they’ve actually gone out, seen what can we find, and then reported that they found mostly nothing. We already knew the real risks for birds, like hundreds or thousands, even millions of times [00:05:00] more, um, deadly to birds are things like. Cats. Cars, buildings, even power lines kill more birds than, um, wind turbines do. In fact, like when you look at, um, the studies that look at wind, um, bird deaths from wind turbines, most of those are from people driving, like workers driving to site and hitting a bird with their cars. Um, you know, that’s attributed to wind energy. Not a surprise maybe for people that have been following very closely, but good to see the report. Nonetheless. Joel Saxum: I think it’s a win for like the global wind industry, to be honest with you, because like you said, there’s, there’s no, um, like real studies of this with, that’s backed up by metric data with, like I said, like the use stereo cameras. Radar based AI detection and, and some of those things, like if you talk with some ornithologists for the big OEMs and stuff, they’ve been dabbling in those things. Like I dabbled in a project without a DTU, uh, a while back and it, but it wasn’t large scale done like this. A [00:06:00] particular win this study in the United States is there’s been this battle in the United States about what birds and what, you know, raptors or these things are controlled or should have, um, controls over them by the governments for wind installations. The big one right now is US Fish and Wildlife Service, uh, controls raptors, right? So that’s your eagle’s, owls, hawks, those kind of things. So they’ll map out the nests and you can only go in certain areas, uh, or build in certain areas depending on when their mating seasons are. And they put mild buffers on some of them. It’s pretty crazy. Um, but the one rule in the United States, it’s been kind of floated out there, like, we’re gonna throw this in your face, wind industry. Is the Federal Migratory Bird Act, which is also how they regulate all like the, the hunting seasons. So it’s not, it’s the reason that the migratory birds are controlled by the federal government as opposed to state governments is because they cross state lines. And if we can [00:07:00] prove now via this study that wind farms are not affecting these migratory bird patterns or causing deaths, then it keeps the feds out of our, you know, out of the permitting process for. For birds, Rosemary Barnes: but I’m not sure this is really gonna change that much in terms of the environmental approvals that you need to do because it’s a, you know, a general, a general thing with a general, um, statistical population doesn’t look at a specific wind farm with a specific bird and you’re still need to go. You’re still going to have to need to look at that every time you’re planning an actual wind farm. That’s it’s fair. Yolanda Padron: And it’s funny sometimes how people choose what they care or don’t care about. I know living in a high rise, birds will hit the window like a few a month. And obviously they will pass away from impact and the building’s not going anywhere. Just like a turbine’s not going anywhere. And I’ve never had anybody complain to [00:08:00] me about living and condoning high rises because of how they kill the birds. And I’ve had people complain to me about wind turbines killing the birds. It’s like, well, they’re just there. Joel Saxum: If we’re, if we’re talking about energy production, the, if everybody remembers the deep water horizon oil spill 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. That oil spill killed between 801.2 million birds. Just that one. Speaker 6: Australia’s wind farms are growing fast, but are your operations keeping up?

Wind Energy o and m Australia [00:09:00] is created by wind professionals for wind professionals because this industry needs solutions, not speeches Allen Hall: well in the high desert of Central New Mexico, near a lot of what were ghost towns that were abandoned during the Great Depression. If there is a flurry of activity pattern, energy sunzi, a project is near completion after 20 years of planning and permitting. When. It’s supposed to be finished in 2026. It’ll be the largest renewable energy project in the Western hemisphere. More than 900 turbines spread across multiple counties. A 550 mile transmission line stretching to Arizona and then onward to California, and $11 billion bet that’s being made on American wind. Now, Joel, it’s a kind of a combination of two OEMs there, Vestus and ge. The pace of building has been really rapid over the last six, eight months from what I can [00:10:00] tell. Joel Saxum: Yeah. We have talked to multiple ISPs, EPC contractors. Um, of course we know some of the engineers involved in building a thing on the pattern side. Right. But this sheer size of this thing, right, it’s, it is three and a half gigawatts, right? You’re talking 900 turbines and, and so big that one OEM really couldn’t, I mean, it’s a, it’s a risk hedge, right? But couldn’t fulfill the order. So you have massive ge tur set of turbines out there. Massive set of vestas turbines out there. And I think one thing that’s not to be missed on this project as well is that transmission line, that high voltage transmission line that’s feeding this thing. Because that’s what we need, right? That was when we built, started building up big time in Texas, the cre, the crest lines that were built to bring all of that wind energy to the major cities in Texas. That was a huge part of it. And we have seen over the last six months, we have seen loans canceled, uh, permits being pulled and like troubles being in hurdles, being thrown up in the face of a lot of these transmission lines that are planned. [00:11:00] These big ones in the states. And that’s what we need for energy security in the future, is these big transmission lines to go. So we can get some of this generation to, uh, to the market, get electrons flowing into homes and into industry. But this thing here, man, um, I know we’ve been talking about Sunz, the Sunz project, uh, and all the people involved in it, in the wind industry for a, what, two, three years now? Oh, at least. Yeah. It’s been in planning and development stage for much longer than that. But the. The, the big bet. I like it. Um, bringing a lot of, um, bringing a lot of economic opportunity to New Mexico, right? A place that, uh, if you’ve driven across New Mexico lately, it needs it in a dire way. Uh, and this is how wind energy can bring a lot of, uh, economic boom to places that, uh, hadn’t had it in the past. Allen Hall: And this being the largest project to date, there’s a, I think a couple more than a pipeline that could be larger if they get moving on them. We see another project like this five years [00:12:00] from now, or we think we’re gonna scale down and stay in the gigawatt range just because of the scale and the things that Sunzi went through. Joel Saxum: We have the choke chair, Sierra Madre project up in Wyoming that’s been chugging the Anschutz Corporation’s been pushing that thing for a long time. That’s, that’s along the same size of this unit. Um, and it’s the same thing. It’s, it’s kind of hinged on, I mean, there’s permitting issues, but it’s hinged on a transmission line being built. I think that one’s like 700. 50 miles of transmission. That’s supposed to be, it’s like Wyoming all the way down to Las Vegas. That project is sitting out there. Um, it’s hard to build something of that size in, like say the wind corridor, the Texas, Oklahoma, uh, you know, all the way up to the Dakotas, just simply because of the massive amount of landowners and public agencies involved in those things. It’s a bit easier when you get out West New Mexico. Um, I could see something like this happening possibly in Nevada. At some point in time to feed that California [00:13:00] side of things, right? But they’re doing massive solar farms out there. Same kind of concept. Um, I, I think that, um, I would love to see something like this happen, but to invest that kind of capital, you’ve got to have some kind of ITC credits going for you. Um, otherwise, I mean, $11 billion is, that’s a lot of money Allen Hall: since Zia will have PTC. Which is a huge driver about the economics for the entire project. Joel Saxum: Yeah. But you’re also seeing at the same time, just because of the volatility of what’s happening in the states wind wise, uh, there was a big article out today of someone who got wind that EDF may be selling its entire Allen Hall: US onshore renewable operation or US renewable operation. That was Wood Mac that. Put that out. And I’m still not sure that’s a hundred percent reliable, but they have been 50% for sale for a while. Everybody, I think everybody knew that. Joel Saxum: Yeah. I don’t know if it’s a hundred percent reliable as well. I would agree with you there. However, there’s, it’s the [00:14:00] same thought process of European company pulling outta the United States. That’s where a lot of the renewable energy capital is, or it has been fed to a lot of that capital comes from Canada and other places too. Right. But that’s where it’s been fed through. Um, but you’re starting to see some, some. Uh, purchasing some acquisitions, a little bit of selling and buying here and there. I don’t, I don’t think that there’s, uh, massive ones on the horizon. That’s just my opinion though. Allen Hall: Well, won’t the massive ones be offshore if we ever get back to it? Joel Saxum: Yeah, you would think so, right? But I, that’s gonna take a, uh, an administration change. I mean the, the, all that stuff you’d see out in California, like when we were originally seeing the leases come out and we were like, oh, great. More offshore opportunity. Ah, but it’s California, so it’ll be kind of tough. It probably won’t be till 20 32, 20, something like that. I don’t think we’ll see possibly California offshore wind until 2040 if we’re lucky. Allen Hall: Joel, what were the two wind turbines selected for Sunz? They were both new models, right? One from Renova and then the other one from [00:15:00] Vestas, Joel Saxum: so the Vestas was 242 V, 1 63, 4 0.5 megawatts machines, and the, and the GE Renova. Just so we get, make sure I get clarity on this. 674 of its three. They were 3.6, but they’re 3.61 50 fours. Allen Hall: Okay. So both turbine types are relatively new. New to the manufacturer. CZ has two new turbines styles on the site. Joel Saxum: Yeah, we were told that when they were originally like getting delivered, that they didn’t have type certificates yet. That’s how new they were. Allen Hall: So Yolanda. As Sania starts to turn on, what are things that they need to be aware of blade wise, Yolanda Padron: besides the lightning and the dust in New Mexico? It’s probably gonna tip them. I don’t know exactly what they’re counting with as far as leading edge protection goes. Allen Hall: Pattern usually doesn’t, uh, have a full service agreement. Joel, do you remember if that was an FSA? I don’t think so. Joel Saxum: I would say [00:16:00] because those are Vestas turbines on the one that, yes, Vestas really doesn’t sell a turbine without it. Knowing internally how big patterns engineering group are, I don’t know if they can completely take on the operations of a thousand more turbine, 900 more turbines overnight. Right? So I think that there is gonna be some OE EMM involvement in these things, uh, simply to be at that scale as well. I don’t know of anywhere else with a 1 54 install a GE 1 54. So the things that I wouldn’t looking out is the. It’s the brand new type stuff, right? Like do internal inspections when they’re on the ground. You don’t know what kind of condition these things are in, what, you know, what is the, you haven’t, nobody’s seen them. Like you’re the first ones to get to get your hands on these things. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I think they’re definitely gonna have to go with some sort of consulting or something externally as far as what exactly they’re dealing with. I know, Rosemary, you’ve touched on it a lot, right about. [00:17:00] How the changing the blade types and changing the turbines every x amount of years is really not conducive to, to being able to repeat the same results. And if you’re having that for hundreds of turbines at a new site that you’ve already had so much time and money invested in creating, it’ll, it’s, it’s a big undertaking. Rosemary Barnes: It’s really interesting because. When you have such a large wind farm be, I’m assuming one of the first wind farms may be the first to get this new turbine types, then if there’s a serial defect, it’s gonna be very obvious. ’cause with smaller wind farms, one of the problems is that, uh, the numbers are too small to definitively say whether something is, um, serial or just random bad luck. Um, but when you get. So how many wind turbines is it? Joel Saxum: Almost a thousand total. It’s [00:18:00] 674 GE turbines and 242 Vesta turbines. Rosemary Barnes: You can do statistics on that kind of a population and this area. I mean, there’s lightning there, right? Like this is not an area where you’re not gonna see lightning. You know, in know the first couple of years, like there, there will be. Hundreds of turbines damaged by lightning in the, the first couple of years I would suggest, um, or, you know, maybe not. Maybe the LPS are so, so great that that doesn’t happen. But, you know, the typical standard of LPS would mean that, you know, even if you only see, say we see 10 strikes per turbine to year and you get a 2% damage rate, that is, you know, lots of, lots of individual instances of blade damage, even if everything works as it should according to certification. And if it doesn’t, if you see a 10% damage rate or something from those strikes, then you are going to know that, you know, the, um, LPS is not performing the way that the standard says that it should. It’s not like that’s a slam dunk for, um, [00:19:00] proving that the design was not sufficient or the certification wasn’t correct. It’s always really, really tricky. My recommendation would be to make sure that you are monitoring the lightning strikes, so you know exactly which turbine is struck and when, and then go inspect them and see the damage. Ideally, you’re also gonna be measuring some of the characteristics of the lightning as well. But you do that from day one. Then if there is a problem, then you’re at least gonna have enough information within the, um, you know, the serial defect liability period to be able to do something about it. Joel Saxum: Let me ask you a question on that, on just the, that lightning monitoring piece then. So this is something that’s just, it’s of course we do this all the time, but this is boiling up in the thing. How do you, how do you monitor for lightning on 916 turbines? Probably spread, spread across. 200 square miles. Rosemary Barnes: Well, there’s, there’s heaps of different ways that you can do it. Um, so I mean, you can do remote, remote lightning detection, which is [00:20:00] not good enough. Then there are a range of different technologies that you can install in the, um, turbines. Um, the most simple and longest standing solution was a lightning cart, which is installed on the down conductor at the blade route. That will just tell you the amplitude of the biggest strike that that turbine has ever seen when it’s red. I have literally never seen a case where the lightning card definitively or even provided useful evidence one way or another when there’s a, a dispute about lightning. So then you move on to solutions that, uh, um. Measuring they use, uh, Alan, you’re the electrical engineer, but they, they use the, the principle that when there’s a large current flowing, then it also induces a magnetic field. And then you can use that to make a, a, a change and read characteristics about it. So you can tell, um, well first of all, that that turbine was definitely struck. So there are simple systems that can do that quite cheaply. The OGs ping [00:21:00] sensor, does that really cost effectively? Um, and then OG Ping. Phoenix Contact and Polytech all have a different product. Um, all have their own products that can tell you the charge, the duration, the um, polarity or the, yeah, the, the, if it’s a positive or a negative strike, um, yeah, rise time, things like that. Um, about the strike, that’s probably, probably, you don’t. Need to go to that extent. Um, I would say just knowing definitively which turbine was struck and when is gonna give you what you need to be able to establish what kind of a problem or if you have a problem and what kind of a problem it is. Joel Saxum: I think that like an important one there too is like, uh, so I know that Vest is in a lot of their FSA contracts will say if it’s struck by lightning, we have 48 or 72 hours to inspect it. Right. And when you’re talking something of this scale, 916 turbines out there, like if there’s a lightning storm, like [00:22:00]we’ve been watching, we watch a lot of lightning storms come through, uh, certain wind farms that we’re working with. And you see 20, 30, 40 turbines get struck. Now if a storm comes through the middle of this wind farm, you’re gonna have 200 turbines get struck. How in the hell do you go out without ha Like you need to have something that can narrow you down to exactly the turbines that we’re struck. That being said that next morning or over the next two days, you need to deploy like 10 people in trucks to drive around and go look at these things. That’s gonna be a massive problem. Pattern has about 3000 turbines, I think in their portfolio, and they, so they’re, they’re familiar with lightning issues and how things happen, but something at this scale when it’s just like so peaky, right? ’cause a storm isn’t through every night, so you don’t have that need to go and inspect things. But when you do. That is gonna be a massive undertaking. ’cause you gotta get people out there to literally like, at a minimum, binocular these things to make sure there isn’t any damage on ’em. And it’s gonna be, there’s gonna be storms where hundreds of turbines get hit. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, well [00:23:00] those three companies, those three products that I mentioned are aiming to get around that. I mean, it will depend how contracts are worded. I know in Australia it is not the norm to check for lightning ever. So if the contract says someone has to, you know, use human eyeballs to verify lightning damage or not, then. That’s, you know, that’s what has to happen. But all of these technologies do aim to offer a way that you wouldn’t have to inspect every single one. So Polytech is using, um, different lightning characteristics and then they’ve got an algorithm which they say will learn, um, which types of strike cause damage that could. Potentially progress to catastrophic damage. Um, and then the other one that is interesting is the eLog Ping solution because they’ve also got the, um, damage monitoring. That’s their original aim of their product, was that if there’s a damage on the blade tip, say it’s been punctured by lightning, it, it actually makes a noise. Like it makes a whistle and they listen out for that. So if you combine the [00:24:00]lightning detection and the, um, like blade. Tip structure monitoring from Ping, then you can get a good idea of which ones are damaged. Like if it’s damaged badly enough to fail, it is almost certainly gonna be making a noise that the ping can, um, detect Allen Hall: as wind energy professionals. Staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it, d. That’s why the Uptime podcast recommends PES Wind Magazine. PES Wind offers a diverse range of in-depth articles and expert insights that dive into the most pressing issues facing our energy future. Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit PE ps win.com today and this quarter’s PES WIN Magazine. There’s a lot of great articles, and as we roll into December. You’ll have time to sit down and read them. You can download a free copy@pswin.com. And there’s a, a really interesting article about [00:25:00] offshore, and there’s a number of articles about offshore this quarter. Well, two Dutch companies developed a solution to really one of the industry’s most persistent headaches. And when it’s flange alignment. So when you’re trying to connect the transition piece to the mono paddle out in the water, it’s not really easy to do. Uh. So PES interviewed, uh, Ontech and Dutch heavy lift consultants to explain their flange alignment system known as FAS. And it started when a turbine installation needed a safer, faster way to try to align these two pieces. So if you can think about the amount of steel we’re talking about, these are really massive pieces you’re trying to line and put bolts in, not easy to do out in the ocean. Uh, so what this new device can do is it can align the flanges in a couple of minutes. It can reshape deformed, flanges and Joel, as you know, everything offshore can get dinged warped. That’s pretty easy to do, so you don’t want that when you have a, a heavily loaded, bolted joint, like those flanges to be [00:26:00] perfectly, uh, smooth to one another and, and tight. So these two companies, Amek and Dutch heavy Lifting consultants have come up with some pretty cool technology to speed up. Installations of wind turbines. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I would say anybody who’s interested in wind, offshore wind, any of that sort, and you have a little bit of an engineering mind or an engineering, uh, quirk in your mind. As, as I think we said earlier in the episode today, engineering nerds. Um, I would encourage you to go and look at some heavy lift operations offshore, whether it is offshore wind, offshore oil and gas, offshore construction of any time or any type even pipe lay operations and stuff. Just to take, just to take in the, the sheer scale. At how, uh, at how these things are being done and how difficult that would be to manage. Think about the just tons and tons of steel and, uh, trying to put these pieces together and these different things. And then remember that these vessels are thousands of dollars, sometimes a minute for how specialized they are. Right? So a lot of money gets put into [00:27:00] how the, like when we’re putting monopiles in that these transit transition pieces get put on. A lot of money has been spent on. The ver like technology to get, make sure they’re super, super tight tolerances on the verticality of those when they’re driving the actual piles in. And then you’re doing that offshore in a nasty environment, sometimes from a jack up vessel, sometimes not from a jack vessel, sometimes from a mor or like a, you know, a pseudo mor vessel on, uh. Dynamic positioning systems, and then you’re swinging these big things with cranes and all this stuff, like, it’s just a crazy amount of engineering eng engineering and operational knowledge that goes into making this stuff happen. And if you make one little mistake, all of a sudden that piece can be useless. Right? Like I’ve been a part of, of heavy offshore lifting for oil and gas where they’ve. It’s built a piece on shore, got it out to the vessel, went to go put it off sub sea in 2000 meters of water, lowered it all the way down there and it didn’t fit like you just burned [00:28:00] hundreds and hundreds and thousands of millions of dollars in time. So this kind of technology that Anima Tech is putting out in Dutch Heavy Lift consultants. This is the key to making sure that these offshore operations go well. So kudos to these guys for solve for seeing a problem and solving a problem with a real solution. Uh, instead of just kind of like dreaming things up, making something happen here. I’d like to see it. Allen Hall: Check out that article and many more in this quarter’s. PES Wind Magazine downloaded free copy@pswind.com. Well, Yolanda, as we know, everybody’s out with Sky Specs, uh, doing blade inspections, and so many turbines have issues this year. A lot of hail damage, a lot of lightning damage and some serial defects from what I can tell. Uh, we’re, we’re getting to that crazy season where we’re trying to get ready for next year and prioritize. This is the time to call C-I-C-N-D-T and actually take a deep hard look at some of this damage, particularly at the blade root area. We’ve seen a lot more of that where, [00:29:00] uh, there’s been failures of some blades at the root where the bolt connection is. So you’re gonna have to get some NDT done. Boy, oh boy, you better get C-I-C-N-D-T booked up or get them on the phone because they’re getting really busy. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, you definitely need to schedule something. Make sure that you know at least where you stand, right? Be because imagine going into try to fix something and just have a hammer and then close your eyes and then see what you can fix. That way, like sometimes it feels like when you’re in operations, if you don’t have the proper. The proper inspections done, which sometimes there’s, there’s not enough budget for, or appetite or knowledge, um, in some of these projects to have early on. You come in and just, you, you see the end result of failure modes and you might see something that’s really, really expensive to fix now. Or you might think of, oh, this problem happened at X, Y, Z. [00:30:00] Site, so it’ll probably happen here. That’s not necessarily the case. So getting someone like NDT to be able to come in and actually tell you this is what’s going on in your site, and these are the potential failure modes that you’re going to see based on what you’re getting and this is what will probably happen, or this is what is happening over time in your site, is a lot more indicative to be able to solve those problems faster and way. More way, in a way less expensive manner than if you were to go in and just try to fix everything reactively. You know, if you have half a bond line missing. Then later you, your blade breaks. It’s like, well, I mean, you, you could, you could have seen it, you could have prevented it. You could have saved that blade and saved yourself millions and millions of dollars and, and so much more money in downtime. Joel Saxum: Yeah. The first time I ran into Jeremy Hess and the C-A-C-N-D team was actually on an insurance project where it was Yolanda, like you said, like [00:31:00] they let it go. The, the operator and the OEM let it go way too long, and all of a sudden they had a, like wind farm wide shutdown costing them millions in production. Uh, to find these, these issues that, uh, could have been found in a different manner when you talk to the team over there. Um, why we like to recommend them from the podcast is Jeremy has an answer for everything. He’s been around the world. He’s worked in multiple industries, aerospace, race, cars, sailboats, you name it. Um, he’s been a client to almost everybody, you know, in the wind industry, all the OEMs, right? So he knows the, the issues. He has the right tool sets. To dive into them. You, you may not know, not, you don’t need to be an NDT expert to be able to have a conversation because he will coach you through, okay, here you have this problem. Alright, this is how we would look at it. This is how we would solve it. Here’s how you would monitor for it, and then this is how you would, you know, possibly fix it. Or this is what the, the solution looks like. Um, because I think that’s one of the [00:32:00] hurdles to the industry with NDT projects is people just don’t. Know what’s available, what’s out there, what they can see, what they, you know, the issues that they might be able to uncover, like you said, Yolanda. So, um, we encourage, um, anybody that says, Hey, do you know anybody in NDT? Yeah, it’s Jeremy Hanks and the C-I-C-N-D-T team. Call ’em up. They’ve got the solutions, they’ll help you out.

C dans l'air du 20 novembre 2025 - Taxe foncière : une hausse qui tombe malUne mesure qui fait l'unanimité contre elle. Le ministère de l'Économie a annoncé une hausse de la taxe foncière pour 7,4 millions de logements en 2026. "C'est une question d'efficacité et d'équité de l'impôt : que chacun paie selon le type de logement qu'il détient", justifie la ministre des Comptes publics, Amélie de Montchalin. C'est autant de propriétaires qui pourraient voir leur impôt augmenter.Le calcul de cette taxe dépend de la taille du logement, mais aussi de six "éléments de conforts" listés par l'administration, comme l'eau courante ou la présence d'une baignoire ou d'une douche. Cette annonce a suscité un tollé politique général, du Rassemblement national (RN) au Parti socialiste. "C'est un coup dans le dos porté aux propriétaires français", a dénoncé Jordan Bardella. De vives critiques émergent également au sein du camp gouvernemental, Prisca Thevenot, députée LREM des Hauts-de-Seine, se disant "opposée" à cette hausse.Face à la levée de boucliers, le gouvernement a ouvert mercredi la porte à un possible abandon de la mesure. "On se réserve le droit d'interroger la pertinence de cette mesure dans quelques mois lors d'un point d'étape", a déclaré Maud Bregeon, porte-parole du gouvernement. Pour rappel, en dix ans, de 2014 à 2024, la taxe foncière a augmenté de 37,3%. C'est deux fois plus que l'inflation.Face à une dégradation financière sans précédent, les départements français multiplient les coupes budgétaires. François Sauvadet, président de l'association Départements de France (ADF), a réclamé à l'État un fonds de soutien de 600 millions d'euros. "54 départements sont en situation de quasi-faillite", a-t-il alerté, avant d'ajouter : "la situation financière des départements continue de se dégrader à vitesse grand V.

As Trump vows to resume nuclear explosive testing, Hans Kristensen — Director of the Nuclear Information Project at FAS, the world's most authoritative source on global nuclear arsenals — joins host Barry Stevens for an urgent conversation. Kristensen calls the move “chest-thumping,” with no strategic justification, warning it would likely trigger a disastrous chain reaction of testing by China and others.

Voilà bientôt dix ans qu'un commando terroriste a semé la terreur dans les rues de Paris, le 13 novembre 2015, assassinant 130 personnes et en blessant plusieurs centaines d'autres. Trois rescapés se sont depuis donné la mort, succombant à leurs blessures psychiques. Ces attentats ont profondément impacté la société française. Les médias jouent un rôle central lors de tels événements. Difficile d'informer avec précision dans un climat de peur et d'incertitude après un attentat. Le 9 janvier 2015 notamment, des chaînes d'information en continu ont divulgué la présence d'otages cachés dans la chambre froide de l'Hypercacher de Vincennes, mettant leur vie en danger. Les médias servent de caisse de résonance aux terroristes, qui, pour la plupart sont avides de spectacle. Face à la sidération après les attentats contre Charlie Hebdo et l'Hypercacher, la société française s'est immédiatement massivement mobilisée comme en témoigne la grande manifestation du 11 janvier 2015. La vie quotidienne a été transformée, bouleversée par les dispositifs de surveillance, de prévention et de lutte antiterroriste. Le terrorisme provoque également des effets perturbateurs comme la montée de sentiments xénophobes, antimusulmans ou antisémites et leurs réponses politiques. Il a induit des progrès considérables de la recherche, en particulier, depuis 2015, sur la question des traumatismes. Il impacte les procédures judiciaires. En France, depuis 2019, le nombre de procès criminels pour terrorisme a été multiplié par sept : la raison principale en est non seulement la création d'un parquet national antiterroriste, mais aussi la volonté de donner réparation à toutes les victimes et leur offrir la possibilité de s'exprimer dans le lieu symbolique d'une cour de justice.Procureur de la République de Paris en charge de la lutte contre le terrorisme entre 2011 et 2018, François Molins a vécu les événements les plus dramatiques qui se sont succédé pendant cette période, des attentats de Mohamed Merah en 2012, au 13 novembre 2015, en passant par le massacre de la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo. Insistant sur le fait qu'il a fallu trouver une juste mesure entre le durcissement de la réponse et le respect des libertés et droits fondamentaux, François Molins considère que « dans l'ensemble, la France y est parvenue » : L'état d'urgence décrété au lendemain du 13 Novembre a duré un peu moins de deux ans, jusqu'au 1er novembre 2017. Il a rassuré les gens et permis une amplification de la lutte - assignations à résidence, perquisitions, interdictions de séjour, fermeture de mosquées radicalisées -, toujours sous le contrôle de la justice administrative et du Parlement. Mais le risque de dérive est réel, met en garde François Mollins. En octobre 2025, cinq actes terroristes d'inspiration djihadiste ont été réalisés ou projetés, dans quatre pays européens, rappelle l'ancien procureur antiterroriste Jean-François Ricard. Ces faits, insiste-t-il, doivent nous alerter sur la persistance d'une menace qui prend des formes nouvelles.LA GUERRE AU SOUDAN Au Soudan, le 26 octobre la ville d'El-Facher, capitale de la province du Darfour du Nord est tombée aux mains des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) qui assiégeaient la ville depuis plus de dix-huit mois. C'était le dernier bastion, au Darfour, des Forces armées soudanaises (FAS). La guerre au Soudan a commencé en avril 2023 lorsque les tensions autour du projet d'intégration des FSR à l'armée régulière ont éclaté en un conflit qui a fait des dizaines de milliers de morts et déplacé de 12 à 13 millions de personnes. Deux acteurs qui s'étaient partagé le pouvoir après la chute du dictateur Omar el-Béchir, renversé en 2019 s'affrontent : l'armée soudanaise, héritière de l'ancien régime, avec à sa tête le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhane ; et les FSR, une unité paramilitaire dissidente dirigée par le général Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, dit Hemetti. En début d'année, l'armée soudanaise et ses supplétifs miliciens ont reconquis la capitale, Khartoum, ainsi que la région agricole de la Jézira, le long du Nil. Depuis, ils contrôlent toute la moitié orientale du Soudan. A l'ouest, en revanche, les RSF dominent. Le noyau dur des hommes de Hemetti est composé d'anciens combattants arabes jenjawids employés, à l'époque d'El-Béchir, pour effectuer les sales besognes du régime et écraser les mouvements rebelles du Darfour. Ils sont eux-mêmes originaires de cette région, grande comme la France métropolitaine.Situé à la lisière de la partie subsaharienne de l'Afrique et du Moyen-Orient, le Soudan concentre une multitude de richesses et d'avantages géostratégiques suscitant toutes sortes de convoitises et d'ingérences : d'immenses terres arables, les eaux du Nil, des mines d'or, du pétrole, l'accès à la mer Rouge face à l'Arabie saoudite, des frontières avec huit pays africains. Soutenues par une partie des Émirats arabes unis, les FSR contrôlent les mines d'or du Darfour, les circuits de contrebande vers la Libye et la Centrafrique, et finance une armée privée plus riche que l'État soudanais, tandis que les FAS ont bénéficié de l'appui de l'Égypte, de l'Arabie saoudite, de l'Iran et de la Turquie, selon des observateurs. Tous nient toute implication.Les réactions internationales demeurent d'une discrétion gênée. Lundi, toutefois, le bureau du procureur de la Cour pénale internationale a averti que les atrocités commises par les FRS à El-Fasher « pourraient constituer des crimes de guerre et des crimes contre l'humanité ». Le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l'homme mentionne des « massacres massifs de civils et de combattants désarmés ». La région, déjà extrêmement affaiblie depuis les massacres de Geneina en 2023, s'enfonce dans un nouveau cycle de violences entre communautés, où vengeance et désordre remplacent toute stratégie politique. Le pays s'est disloqué en zones d'influence : le Darfour aux mains des FSR, le Nord et l'Est sous commandement militaire, le Sud livré au chaos. L'État soudanais, déjà amputé du Soudan du Sud en 2011, se délite à nouveau.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Förväntningarna var upptrissade till max inför den här veckan. Trump lovade en fantastisk deal med Kina. The magnificent seven-bolagen lovade vinstregn. Nu har vi facit men vad innebär det? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ”Tolv av tio!”Donald Trump sätter högt betyg på sitt möte med Xi Jinping. Men inget formellt avtal är påskrivet, och en hel del frågor kvarstår. ”Man vet aldrig hur länge det håller”, säger Gabriel Mellqvist, programledare på EFN, apropå nedtrappningen i handelskriget.Nytt Fed-besked – och nya börsrekordSamtidigt har börsrekorden avlöst varandra. I veckan steg både Apples och Microsofts värdering till över fyra biljoner dollar.

In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships, I dive into the fearful avoidant attachment style sometimes called anxious avoidant and the blind spots that come with it. This was once my dominant attachment style, and even now I can see how it still pops up in relationships. Unlike anxious or dismissive avoidants, the fearful avoidant flips between hyper-activation (all emotion, seeking closeness, reassurance, and validation) and deactivation (withdrawal, coldness, the “ick,” detachment). This creates emotional whiplash for partners, leaving them unsure which version of you they're going to get. Here's what I unpack in this episode: Logic vs. Emotion – How fearful avoidants have access to both, but rarely integrate them at the same time. The Pendulum Swing – Why you may go from desperate for closeness one week to completely withdrawn the next. The “Lost Myself” Myth – Why feeling like you “lost yourself” in a relationship often just means hidden parts of you have been triggered. The Mask Crumbling – How the persona you've built (cool girl, caregiver, rescuer, strong independent woman) eventually cracks under stress, leaving you scattered and disconnected. The Integration Work – Using both emotion and logic as data, building authenticity, and leaning into micro-moments of vulnerability instead of extreme swings. Practical Tips – For anxious-leaning FAs: keep a scorecard of consistency and non-negotiables so you don't abandon yourself. For avoidant-leaning FAs: practice small disclosures and direct asks to build capacity for intimacy without shutting down. At the core, being a fearful avoidant isn't about shame, it's about learning integration, self-compassion, and balance. When you use both emotion and logic together, you can move toward secure love without the constant pendulum swings.

The Ten Across Resilience Network convened in Jacksonville, Florida, in April to share strategies from their communities—the hottest in the nation—for mitigating the mortality and economic loss caused by extreme heat, and to identify common obstacles to both long-term planning and immediate response. Representatives from the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) joined the exercise to discuss and document the findings.  With co-author Dr. Melissa Guardaro, Senior Global Futures Scientist for ASU's Global Futures Lab, FAS's Grace Wickerson has drafted a set of policy recommendations for all levels of government and non-governmental actors, “Framework for a Heat-Ready Nation.” This document draws heavily upon the recommendations, challenges and successes raised by Ten Across participants and outlines a series of steps that can be taken to protect people and their livelihoods from rising temperatures nationwide.  In this episode, Grace walks us through the five high-priority measures defined in the report;  how these points were determined and what it will take to see them carried out. A scientist recognized for their policy advocacy work by last month's 2025 Grist 50 list, Grace discusses the importance of decisions based on sound science, and how to move forward even as most federal climate policy is rolled back.   Relevant Articles and Resources  Framework for a Heat-Ready Nation (Ten Across/Federation of American Scientists, July 2025)  2025 Heat Policy Agenda (Federation of American Scientists, January 2025)  “As summer ends, Maricopa County is on track to see fewer heat-related deaths than last year” (KJZZ, September 2025)  “Ten Across Joins 60+ Organizations in Supporting Federal Policy Agenda for Tackling Extreme Heat” (Ten Across blog, January 2025)  “Here's why an Arizona medical examiner is working to track heat-related deaths” (NPR, June 2024)  Relevant Ten Across Conversations Podcasts  ASU Researchers Tackle Extreme Heat Relief as Phoenix Temps Soar  Urban Planners: The Unexpected Champions of the U.S. Heat Resilience Effort  What Some of the Hottest Cities on The 10 Are Doing to Address Deadly Heat  CreditsHost: Duke ReiterProducer and editor: Taylor GriffithMusic by: Dew of Light and Lennon HuttonResearch and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine Butler  About our guest  Grace Wickerson is senior manager of Climate and Health on the Climate and Environment team at the Federation of American Scientists.

Kevin Werbach interviews Dean Ball, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation and one of the key shapers of the Trump Administration's approach to AI policy. Ball reflects on his career path from writing and blogging to shaping federal policy, including his role as Senior Policy Advisor for AI and Emerging Technology at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where he was the primary drafter of the Trump Administration's recent AI Action Plan. He explains how he has developed influence through a differentiated viewpoint: rejecting the notion that AI progress will plateau and emphasizing that transformative adoption is what will shape global competition. He critiques both the Biden administration's “AI Bill of Rights” approach, which he views as symbolic and wasteful, and the European Union's AI Act, which he argues imposes impossible compliance burdens on legacy software while failing to anticipate the generative AI revolution. By contrast, he describes the Trump administration's AI Action Plan as focused on pragmatic measures under three pillars: innovation, infrastructure, and international security. Looking forward, he stresses that U.S. competitiveness depends less on being first to frontier models than on enabling widespread deployment of AI across the economy and government. Finally, Ball frames tort liability as an inevitable and underappreciated force in AI governance, one that will challenge companies as AI systems move from providing information to taking actions on users' behalf. Dean Ball is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, author of Hyperdimensional, and former Senior Policy Advisor at the White House OSTP. He has also held roles at the National Science Foundation, the Mercatus Center, and Fathom. His writing spans artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, bioengineering, infrastructure, public finance, and governance, with publications at institutions including Hoover, Carnegie, FAS, and American Compass.

Farshid Jalalvand, skribent, mikrobiolog, tidigare forskare och numera anställd på Läkemedelsverket gästar Jacob och Wille i avsnitt 515 av Tyngre Träningssnack. Det här är ett långt avsnitt som i princip kan delas upp i två olika delar. Den första delen handlar lite om Farshids bok Apan och Filosofen. Här diskuterar vi en del vetenskapsteori och nyttan av att känna till filosofi om man vill bli bra på att förstå vetenskap. I den andra delen så berättar Farshid om sitt arbete på Läkemedelsverket där han för närvarande arbetar med godkännande och uppföljning av vaccin. Du får lära dig hur det går till från det att ett läkemedelsföretag har ett läkemedel som de vill testa i en klinisk studie tills det att ett läkemedel finns på marknaden och man har kontinuerlig uppföljning av det för att se om det dyker upp några ovanliga biverkningar som man inte kunnat fånga upp i studierna före godkännandet. Vi kommer också in lite på debatten kring de redan etablerade vaccinen och då framför allt barnvaccinen. Efter att Kennedy blivit hälsominister i USA så har det här fått mycket större plats i folks medvetenande igen. Farshid förklarar varför det som kan låta vettigt när man hör det första gången i själva verket är antingen helt omöjligt att utföra eller redan utfört och resultaten har visat att det inte finns någon fara. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt.

We talk with a floatplane pilot who flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially. In the news, we look at strategies for modernizing the air traffic control system, striking flight attendants and some who wish they could, and a wingsuit accident takes the life of an ICON Aircraft co-founder. Guest John Crawford flies the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver commercially on the Canadian West Coast. He began flying Beavers when he was the Chief Pilot and Operations Manager for a company specializing in floatplane training, where he overhauled the training program. In addition to his full-time flying job, John also has a coaching program that helps pilots get their first flying position without the unnecessary and expensive detour of instructing. He helps student pilots with resumes, job search beyond job ads, interview preparation, and more. John Crawford and the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. John describes his path to becoming a floatplane pilot, learning to fly, and using taildragger and bush-flying experience. He notes the origin of the Beaver and the challenges of flying a floatplane compared to other aircraft, including obstructions in the water, winds, and docking. John's coaching project started as a proof of concept but has grown to include Canadian, U.S., and international students. We look at his teaching methods, the pattern of floatplane student pilots who do well learning to fly, and how John shows people how to get work. John also provides a valuable perspective on flight instructing in general and how teaching is not for everyone. See John's website, find him on YouTube, and on Instagram. Aviation News The ‘brand new' ATC system might not be as new as you think The National Airspace System today is built on three main software platforms that help transmit flight plan data, collect aircraft position information, and display all of that on the screens of air traffic controllers: the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) used by approach and departure facilities, En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) used by enroute facilities, and the Advanced Technologies & Oceanic Procedures (ATOPs) used by oceanic facilities in California and New York. The FAA said that combining these three protocols into a single common automation platform would be more efficient. That proposal is a pillar of the administration's ATC modernization plan, and it would cost an estimated $31.5 billion. Instead of replacing STARS, ERAM, and ATOPs, FAA chief Bryan Bedford said the agency is exploring a cheaper way to connect the systems that "will look and feel and act exactly the same" as a common platform without actually being one. "There's technology that we can stick in between ERAM and STARS and ATOPs and the user, you know, a new interface. These interfaces actually exist today. We can take that data, we can re-present it across the users of the NAS." US flight attendants are fed up like their Air Canada peers. Here's why they are unlikely to strike Hourly wages for flight attendants can be very low relative to the cost of living.

Airline strikes are rare due to the Railway Labor Act of 1926, amended in 1936 to include airlines. For airline workers to strike, Federal mediators must declare an impasse. But even then, the president or Congress can intervene.
