Join me, Trevor Freeman, as I explore the traditional, unconventional, and up-and-coming facets of the energy industry. If you have any thoughts, feedback, or ideas for topics we should cover, please reach out to us at thinkenergy@hydroottawa.com. [00:26] Trevor Freeman: Hi everyone, and welcome back. We often talk on this show about the what of the energy transition. What needs to happen, what is happening, what technologies or initiatives are growing or up-and-coming. But it's also important to consider the how of it all. Energy systems are complex. That is something that should be clear in all the conversations we have around here, but it's not just technical complexity that we need to consider. Our energy systems are also socially, politically, and societally complex. It's not just a matter of picking the right technology and implementing it. If it was that case, we've got, you know, most of the technology we need, and we'd be in a much better position than we currently are. We have to figure out how we move these projects forward. [01:14] Trevor Freeman: Traditionally, energy projects have been these large, top-down infrastructure projects. But increasingly, we're moving into a time when collaboration, equity, and stakeholder engagement are critical components of project success. One area where this can be seen—and, in fact, it's an area that's really pushing a lot of this change—is Indigenous leadership. [01:38] Trevor Freeman: Over the past decade here in Canada, at least, we've seen a profound evolution where Indigenous communities are not just participants in the clean energy transition or kind of bystanders; they are actively leading it in many cases. That's not to say all the problems or challenges have been solved, but we're seeing a lot of movement here. And that's the topic of my conversation today. [02:02] Trevor Freeman: To help us understand the scale of this movement, I'm joined by James Jenkins. James is the Executive Director of Indigenous Clean Energy, which is a leading organization accelerating First Nations, Inuit, and Métis participation in clean energy projects from coast to coast. I'm really excited to have James on the show today because his expertise comes straight from real, actual experience on these projects. As a proud member and former CEO of the Walpole Island First Nation, James personally drove the equity development for two 100-megawatt wind farms for his community. Today, he leverages that firsthand experience along with a diverse background in consulting, local government, and academia to serve as a national champion for Indigenous clean energy partnerships. [02:54] Trevor Freeman: His organization just released their third national survey, the Regenerative Energy 2026 report, which provides a really eye-opening snapshot of how Indigenous communities are shaping Canada's energy future through innovation, equity ownership, and community-driven solutions. So today, we're going to dive into the findings of this report, talk a little bit about, you know, what a just energy transition looks like, and explore what utility and industry players can learn from these successful partnerships. James Jenkins, welcome to the show. [03:31] James Jenkins: Hi Trevor, thank you for having me. [03:34] Trevor Freeman: So, James, let's start a little bit with some background. Tell us about Indigenous Clean Energy and how your organization works to advance First Nations, Inuit, and Métis participation in the clean energy sector. [03:47] James Jenkins: Sure. Indigenous Clean Energy is a not-for-profit organization, and we've been operating for about 10 years. So we started 10 years ago with the 2020 Catalyst Program, which was designed to develop a cohort of clean energy leaders coming primarily from Indigenous communities and businesses that could really shape the future of Indigenous participation in the energy transition. So we started with a cohort. It was led by just a few staff and our founding director, Chris Henderson. And this is our 10th year, so we'll be celebrating 10 years of the 2020 Catalyst Program at our national gathering in August. [04:24] Trevor Freeman: Awesome. Congrats. [04:26] James Jenkins: Thank you so much. So the goal of that program was to really expand the opportunities, the capacity, and the number of communities engaged in clean energy. And we have seen that progress tremendously over the last 10 years. We've seen federal grant programs to support that work also emerge as major contributors, and we've seen utilities across the country get on board and try to find ways to expand Indigenous participation. [04:54] James Jenkins: So we've seen quite a bit of success, and with that success, we've grown as well. So we're now a team of about 35, and we're much larger. So we've expanded into a few other areas. One of them is youth, so we have two different youth programs. And we've expanded into energy efficiency as well, mostly under our "Bringing It Home" umbrella. [05:16] James Jenkins: And the idea behind that is we've seen the success of the 2020 Catalyst Program and clean energy leaders really pushing the envelope in terms of what is possible when it comes to Indigenous-led generation projects. So now we're identifying a gap still existing when it comes to energy efficiency. And so, in a way, we're trying to replicate the success of the 2020 Catalyst Program. We'll be running our third year of the Project Accelerator soon. So that's geared towards energy efficiency; it's an intensive training program, and it comes with a grant. [05:47] James Jenkins: And finally, we have a policy arm as well that's also very involved in engaging at the community and regional level. So that's through our Energy and Climate team, and we have a national hub that just completed a series of directional gatherings regionally. We also have a global hub as well that's active in Oceania and Latin America. [06:09] Trevor Freeman: Oh, that's fantastic. Tell me a little bit about the youth programs that you're running. [06:14] James Jenkins: So, we support youth across our programs, but we have two programs in particular that are geared towards youth. One of them is the Imagination Program, which comes with wrap-around supports and training. Right now, we're developing a micro-credential with the University of Saskatchewan for our program participants. It comes with a grant to lead a community-scale project. A good example might be a solar-powered greenhouse. Many of them are linked to schools, and, you know, we see the passion of younger members of communities that want to move these projects forward, but it's entrepreneurial in spirit. [06:49] James Jenkins: The second is called Generation Power, which is a wage subsidy program for Indigenous youth, and we pair them with employers in the clean energy field. So some of them are utilities or renewable businesses; in some cases, they're communities or Indigenous businesses that are moving forward on projects. And it's more than just a wage subsidy; we identify all of the potential barriers for Indigenous youth entering these jobs and provide those kinds of support to increase their chance of success and staying in the workforce after the placement. [07:22] Trevor Freeman: Oh, that's very cool. We've talked a few times on this show about building that next generation of energy champions and people that are focused, you know, on this new form of energy—this new energy transition or this new world of energy that we're moving into. So fantastic to see you guys participating in that. That's really cool. [07:42] Trevor Freeman: So, I want to spend some of our time here talking about the report that your organization recently released titled Regenerative Energy 2026. So before we dive into the specific data and the numbers, let's talk about, you know, just that title itself and what the document sets out to achieve. So first of all, tell us about that term, "regenerative energy." What does that mean? Why did you choose that title? [08:09] James Jenkins: Sure. So just generally, regenerative energy is the idea that these projects are doing more than producing electricity for the market and potentially bringing in revenue. They're also contributing to the broader ecosystem, which could mean the ecology of the landscape or a reduction of carbon into the atmosphere. So it's looking at the wider impacts and planning energy with that in mind. [08:33] James Jenkins: In the Indigenous context, it goes deeper than that. We're incorporating sovereignty, energy sovereignty, and acknowledging that communities are increasingly expecting to be able to move through their energy journey on their own terms. And so that could mean other outcomes in addition to just energy stability and security. It expands to food security, but also ultimately the community being able to plan its future—how does energy fit into that? [09:03] James Jenkins: I think it fits into what we're seeing in Indigenous communities in general, where there is a need to revitalize our cultures, our practices, our governance structures. We're finding that the energy sector—it's a business sector and an opportunity and an expanding sector—but there's also alignment in terms of values in many places, with communities looking to have an impact on their landscape, on the ecology, and this is a way to do that. [09:30] James Jenkins: So regenerative energy is acknowledging that there is this revitalization happening. It's not as though our communities, our governments, our nations were extinguished over the last 300 years. What does it mean in terms of revitalizing those practices, and how do all of these projects and ambitions when it comes to energy fit into that? [09:51] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I like that description. Thanks for that, James. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but is it fair to say that the choice to use "regenerative" instead of "renewable"—which is fairly buzzy as a term, everyone kind of has renewable energy on their mind—was a deliberate choice? You're building more aspects to it; there are more facets of the description you just gave of regenerative energy compared to just renewable energy. Is that fair to say? [10:19] James Jenkins: Well, and that's true as well. And as you've read in the report, we're seeing projects expand beyond just what we would term "renewable" projects. So that was the bulk of the projects up until recently, but now transmission lines and battery storage are becoming more prominent. [10:36] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, absolutely. Great. Okay, I do want to talk to you about that. So my second question kind of at a high level around the report is, you know, one of the goals or one of the things you're doing in this report is really compiling and tracking national data around these projects. Why is that important? Why is that something that you're striving to do—to really track and compile that data? [10:59] James Jenkins: Well, in the context right now, we have a federal government that is trying to identify meaningful projects that can have an impact on the economy, have an impact on spurring economic growth in different regions. And so it's a critical time for us to broadcast information on our dataset because collectively, these projects that have Indigenous ownership and co-ownership are a massive portion of the electricity generating infrastructure of Canada, and they have a meaningful impact on the economy, but also the ability for communities to finance their own programs, to reinvest in economic development. [11:36] James Jenkins: So it's a critical time from that perspective. I think there's a need for us to be even louder because collectively as a nation, we seem to be looking for these wins that can be a shot in the arm. You know, we're worried about economic growth, and here we have many examples of projects that have Indigenous participation and that are having these benefits that are allowing different regions that are not participating in the economy in as active a way—this is a real opportunity for them. [12:05] James Jenkins: And unlike many of the mega-projects that we're thinking about right now, these have shorter timeframes, less challenges, and the risk is much more manageable in comparison. So, you know, we are trying to point out that, A, these kinds of projects—which are renewables, but also battery storage and some of these other projects—these are important for the federal government to continue to invest in because they have been investing in it heavily over the last 10 years, and that's part of the success story. [12:35] James Jenkins: But there is also a set of learnings that can be drawn from when we have so many examples of good partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations moving these projects forward. So I think when we look into the future as to how this should look, what does Indigenous participation look like for these mega-projects, we have a bit of a blueprint that we can draw from. [12:57] James Jenkins: And so we are trying to bring more attention to this. I think it's really step one. The federal government can pat itself on the back that it's been one of the key reasons why Indigenous participation in the energy sector has grown over the last 10 years, but it's not getting the attention it deserves in the current conversation. So I think that's why it's a really critical time, possibly for other non-government actors as well that are asking, "Well, in the current global and national framework, what is the best way to achieve climate outcomes, Indigenous participation in the economy, greater social outcomes?" And so we do want to point to this as a good news story that has a track record, and that's what the data really does—it speaks to that track record. [13:41] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, you often hear it framed, and in fact, just, you know, we're recording this on a Monday—just over the weekend I was listening to the radio, one of those call-in shows that really framed the choice as, "you know, we either invest in climate solutions or we focus on the economy." And I think you can probably say, "we invest in, you know, Indigenous partnership or the economy, or climate solutions." And what I'm hearing from you is it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game. It doesn't have to be either/or. In fact, the data you're showing and the projects that you're highlighting show that all of these outcomes can be achieved with the right focus and with the right investment. Is that fair to say? [14:21] James Jenkins: It is. And generally, the bucket of renewable projects or clean energy projects, the timelines are shorter, the cost is going to be easier to quantify, and the cost is coming down for these technologies—wind, solar, battery—in comparison to some of the other technologies that are being framed as the solution, which I think they will be. But framing it as either/or doesn't make much sense, especially when electricity demand is growing and it's an immediate issue. [14:51] James Jenkins: So we should look at some of these immediate solutions and acknowledge it's still a question mark for some of the other sectors that are going to be involved in building out our electricity capacity. Mining, some of these other sectors, there are some examples of Indigenous participation, but not hundreds of examples of equity participation. And so, absolutely, I've been hearing those kinds of either/or arguments, or "no more federal grants, we should have access to capital instead." That could do a real injustice to the existing capacity that's already there, like the number of people in energy offices at Indigenous communities right now. [15:28] Trevor Freeman: Yeah. So let's dive into some of the data then. You know, you see headlines sometimes about major Indigenous clean energy projects happening in collaboration, and the data in your report really backs this up. I don't want to throw too many stats out there for our listeners, but just quickly, you know, there are over 350 medium-to-large electricity generation projects across Canada with Indigenous participation. We've got 250 of those already operational, the rest in either construction or planning stages. From your perspective, James, you kind of already touched on this—the role of the federal government driving some of this momentum and visibility—just expand on that a little bit. Like, how did we get to these pretty impressive numbers where we're seeing lots of these projects? [16:15] James Jenkins: Sure, definitely. I think the origin goes back at least to around 2000 to 2008 when there was a series of Supreme Court decisions that ruled in favor of Indigenous communities when it comes to the duty to consult and accommodate—that's what the Supreme Court ultimately called it. So that's a framework that was very important when it came to Indigenous engagement in energy projects. [16:43] James Jenkins: As the UN Declaration starts to gain traction in our country, it may become less important, but it was certainly a turning point. So decisions like Mikisew Cree up to Tsilhqot'in created a framework where communities could get involved and had the legal backing to do so. Some jurisdictions—with Ontario probably taking the lead at that time, BC following, and many others following that model—supported Indigenous communities so that they could be involved in what the Supreme Court was framing as consultation. And what that meant was having the capacity to be engaged in project review. And often, the developer bore the cost of that. [17:23] James Jenkins: But there could be positive outcomes because it meant there was a framework and an impetus for communities and developers to sit down at the table when the development was taking place in the territory of an Indigenous community and their rights were potentially going to be impacted. So as that process became the norm in most regions in Canada, what emerged was this mechanism called an Impact Benefit Agreement as a way for the developer and the Indigenous community to sit down and say, "Okay, we've identified these impacts—and these are impacts to the practicing of rights that are enshrined in the Constitution, so there's this channel back to the Supreme Court decisions—so we'll have a confidential agreement called an Impact Benefit Agreement to offset those impacts," which never really fit the spirit of the Supreme Court decisions, but it was adopted all over the country. [18:14] James Jenkins: And when Ontario and BC went to bring more renewables onto the grid more quickly, they were looking at different ways to ensure there was the kind of local participation, and so they experimented with creating incentives for Indigenous equity participation in the projects. Sometimes that included municipal participation as well, but we saw a large uptake in that. And that was something I was involved in; I was a band manager in my community of Walpole Island First Nation in the past, and while this was happening, I had some other roles. [18:47] James Jenkins: But we saw it as an opportunity, and ultimately, there were many renewable projects entering the grid in Southern Ontario at a rapid rate. One of the things we were able to identify was that equity participation brought much more benefit to the community than an Impact Benefit Agreement. In the kind of projects we were looking at, it was usually tenfold if you quantified the net revenue from equity participation versus the takeaway from an Impact Benefit Agreement. [19:17] James Jenkins: So that started to become the norm, and Indigenous communities started to see this as a more meaningful way to address the need for development to happen rapidly in certain regions and especially with renewables. So there was a period where new hydroelectric projects started to include some equity participation, and then we saw, with the expansion of wind and to some extent solar, that happening at a rapid rate starting about 2008. [19:44] James Jenkins: It's expanded since then for a few reasons. So one is that over time, most regions in Canada have—most provinces have directed their utilities to put incentives in their calls to power to try to ensure more examples of Indigenous equity participation. The other possibility that's happened, which was more an Alberta story but it's been experimented with in some other jurisdictions, is a deregulated market where an Indigenous partner and non-Indigenous partner, or a fully Indigenous-owned project, can go to a consumer and negotiate a power purchase agreement, sell power directly. Sometimes having an Indigenous community providing power provides other benefits to the purchaser, whether it's the industrial or commercial partner, and so that led to quite a few projects as well in Alberta for completely different reasons. [20:34] Trevor Freeman: Would those other benefits be like preferred rates? What are the other benefits that you're referring to there? [20:39] James Jenkins: It could be preferred rates. In many cases, it's things like corporate responsibility, just the sustainability measures of having, you know, purchasing from an Indigenous partner. So that was enough of an incentive to really, you know, spur a market in those areas. [20:56] James Jenkins: And then we've seen the federal government invest through grant programs in Indigenous capacity in the energy sector. So that has allowed communities in many regions to engage in these opportunities and just have the staff to do it. Because most communities are generally dealing with many, many issues all at once—it's like three levels of government all in one, and most services are underfunded. So being able to actively participate in these opportunities, ensure there is enough trust to move forward and that the community is coming along with it, usually requires some expertise and people in the community that understand energy enough to keep everybody engaged. And these federal grant programs have contributed to that as well. [21:40] Trevor Freeman: Yeah. So with this change over the last let's call it 20-odd years or so, is there a fairly established model or process now that you see Indigenous communities and partners working through, or is every kind of new project finding its way anew? I guess what I'm asking is, yeah, is there an established process? Is it kind of like you know how these projects are going to go now, given that there's quite a bit of experience over the last 20 years? [22:06] James Jenkins: It's not an established process. And so we—for our Energy and Climate team—we engaged with BC Hydro and Manitoba Hydro to some extent on their recent calls to power and procurement because they're both looking at ways to ensure there's more Indigenous equity in projects, and there are different models to choose from. But there is the ability to look at what happened in different jurisdictions, draw from maybe what worked and what didn't, and so we're seeing utilities start to do that as they develop new procurement procedures. [22:38] James Jenkins: On the partnership side, things continue to evolve, and there's always the risk that some of these partnerships may be less beneficial to the Indigenous partner. So another report we released six months ago with Clean Energy BC is an equity guide, and the target audience of that is Indigenous communities that are looking at these equity participation opportunities to make sure that the process is fair to them and transparent to them. So there is a framework in place, but I think there's always a need to ensure that communities have access to the tools so that they have a meaningful seat at the table. And it's not a given that those will be in place, so it is an area where we place some of our efforts. [23:22] Trevor Freeman: And have you seen a change—like you talked about kind of the initial push for a lot of renewable projects being part of the impetus of seeing a big expansion here in Indigenous partnership—at least here in Ontario, which of course is where I'm sitting and we're having this conversation, there was a bit of a slowdown in that, but as we see demand significantly increasing, we're looking at more and more projects. So are you seeing that ebb and flow of project participation as well, or has it been pretty steady in terms of engagement over the last little while? [23:54] James Jenkins: In most regions, it's been growing. So you look at the Atlantic region, Quebec is really pushing for Indigenous participation in renewables. In most regions, that's happening—Maritimes very much so right now. [24:10] James Jenkins: In Ontario, we saw with the results of the most recent call to power quite a few northern projects, which is a bit surprising, but I know that's what they wanted to see happen, and it opens up some opportunity for communities in Northern Ontario. In Ontario, I think there are more regions where renewables are less socially accepted right now. And I talk to some people in Southern Ontario that are surprised how accepted it is in most of the country, with a few exceptions. So, you know, I think we might see ways that Ontario tries to draw projects in, whether it's within regions or partners where there is that social acceptance. But that's to be seen. [24:50] James Jenkins: But Ontario, like other places, knows they need to meet this growing demand, and renewables are relatively quick to deploy, relatively low risk, and will likely be part of that solution, just like everywhere. [25:05] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, absolutely. Great. Okay, I do want to talk to you about that. So my next question, you mentioned this a few times, that we're not just talking about solar panels and wind turbines, which I think is what most people think of when they think of clean energy projects, but you have mentioned a significant growth in transmission projects as well as battery storage. And there's a number of projects that are now kind of in operation with Indigenous co-ownership that fall into that transmission and battery storage category. So tell us about the economic opportunity for Indigenous communities of these types of projects, not just generation projects. [25:44] James Jenkins: Right. So battery storage is growing more along the same trajectory as those generation projects have been in the past, and as the cost for battery storage has come down, it's become a very viable way for utilities and provinces to deal with the intermittency of electricity and increase stability while meeting targets for carbon emissions. So we're seeing more Indigenous leadership in that area. [26:10] James Jenkins: And there's a premier project in Ontario, the Oneida Energy Storage Project, where Six Nations of the Grand River approached NRStor, their partner, to develop the project and then went to the Ontario government and said, "This is what we'd like to do, this is how we see it will meet some of the needs." So there was some real ingenuity in there, and I think in some way, that's an example of what could be the next stage in terms of Indigenous energy planning as that kind of capacity builds because Six Nations of the Grand River had quite a bit of experience under their belt in terms of participating in energy projects. [26:45] James Jenkins: And then Ontario has also been the leader in procuring battery storage projects, and for the most part, most of them have Indigenous equity participation in those projects. A lot of them benefit from existing relationships between construction companies and communities that can look at these opportunities and co-design them together. And I think we'll start to see that in other parts of the country as that builds. But it is a major opportunity as the technology allows us to meet some of the need to stabilize the grid, and, you know, it could reduce our reliance on solutions like natural gas, so it's a real opportunity. [27:21] James Jenkins: When it comes to transmission lines, it's a slightly different trajectory, but I think it goes back to the duty to consult and accommodate and parties sitting at the table understanding where do we go from here when there's a project that is going to have this enormous landscape impact and we can no longer do what we did in the past, which was ignore any Indigenous rights on the landscape. [27:46] James Jenkins: And I was in Ontario for the last 20 or so years and witnessed the demand from Indigenous communities to participate in transmission projects. It wasn't passive in any way. So now we hear from utilities that are saying the right thing to do is to provide these opportunities, which is fantastic. But back then, it really was Indigenous people with the foresight and the stubbornness to for years say, "No, we need a solution that's going to meet all of our needs." And as we started to see some examples—Saugeen and Nawash being one of the first, and then others in Ontario where there would be this kind of Indigenous co-ownership—it gradually started to become more accepted. [28:25] James Jenkins: And now it's part of the plan in many regions of Ontario, and this is a way to move the project forward, have Indigenous communities on board, and when they're sitting there as partners, there are a number of advantages that they bring to the table because in many cases there is knowledge of the landscape itself. And looking at preferred routes and other major decisions can really benefit from having these communities at the table providing their knowledge as opposed to sitting sort of on the other side of an adjudication table, which is only going to add risk to a project. [29:00] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I mean we see all parts of the electricity sector growing, and transmission is one of those areas for sure that in order to support electrification across the province, we're going to see more transmission. So it's great to hear that this is an area that is growing, or getting more buy-in, or there's more partnership happening in all parts of the electricity sector. [29:21] Trevor Freeman: So, James, you talked about regenerative energy earlier, we touched on that a little bit, and how that term is focused on being built on fairer and more equitable relationships. In your report, you kind of take this a step further by explicitly stating that this work seeks to advance the Truth and Reconciliation Commission—notably, Call to Action number 92. And so for our listeners who are not familiar—and please, definitely step in here if you want to explain it differently than I'm going to—but Call to Action 92 specifically calls on corporate Canada to adopt the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to commit to meaningful consultation and consent, and ensure Indigenous communities gain equitable access to jobs, training, and long-term economic benefits. [30:13] Trevor Freeman: So we often hear reconciliation discussed in a social or a political context, but your report really points to the actual act of Indigenous-led clean energy infrastructure and how that can embody this reconciliation in a material and meaningful way. And I apologize that I'm rambling a lot, this is a long question. How does building out physical infrastructure—like generation programs, transmission lines that we've been talking about, battery storage—how does that advance these goals that are kind of laid out and described in this particular Call to Action? [30:52] James Jenkins: Mm-hmm. And you're right, the benefits of these projects isn't just the net revenue, but it's also apprenticeships, jobs, the business capacity that comes with participating in the project, and sometimes the ability to open up opportunities for practicing harvesting rights where, when Indigenous communities don't have a seat at the table, often the gate or the door is shut to opportunities and access. So it's a way to open those up. [31:19] James Jenkins: And in my experience with projects in my community, when we were reviewing projects through the IBA or Impact Benefit Agreement process, the goal was always a number of apprenticeships, contribution to education, capacity, and it was always a good news story getting some jobs, employment readiness out of the project. And it was a remarkable shift to be sitting at the table as a partner and be discussing those same outcomes and really led to more of a spirit of cooperation. And we had some really great successes come out of that. [31:51] James Jenkins: As well as community members feeling like, "This is an industry that I can go work in, and I'm not a stranger in a strange land. My community has a stake in this," and feel that sense of ownership but also home, which can be this indirect challenge when it comes to people entering the workforce and sticking with it. So that kind of ownership—it's part of the solution, how do we grow the Indigenous workforce? When the Indigenous communities have a financial interest in it, it really changes the picture quite a bit, and it really helps with the foreignness that can exist. And so we've seen the opposite in renewable industries and clean energy where many communities and youth are starting to see this as a viable career path and one that makes sense for them. [32:38] James Jenkins: So, you know, and like I said before, when Indigenous communities are sitting at the table—and in my experience we had gone through project review on many, many projects because of the Impact Benefit Agreement process—we were able to bring that knowledge we had of project review to the table, which can help the project. So it was a real meaningful exchange of, "How can we meet these milestones on time? What can we bring to the table?" So there's that aspect of it, but then there's also the multi-generational knowledge that comes with living on the land. [33:10] James Jenkins: And, you know, in some ways sitting down with elders, that does take a long time and commitment and is often different than how we would typically view going through the early stages of a project. But at the end of the day, it can lead to better outcomes and actually not take as long because the pathway to gain the knowledge for the least impact through a traditional process is also incredibly time-consuming. And so having an Indigenous party at the table that can bring the correct knowledge keeps things forward, making a meaningful decision from their perspective can really add value in that way as well. [33:48] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, it's great to hear that you're seeing the impact of these programs on both the projects themselves and better outcomes in the projects, as well as building capacity and partnership in Indigenous communities. And I'm glad you kind of brought those youth programs back up; it's great to hear about those programs. [34:07] Trevor Freeman: So, you have a report or you have a section sorry in your report called "Opportunities Unrealized," which really highlights major gaps or a gap for community-focused projects right now as different federal funding programs sunset, and you specifically call out three particular pillars that need renewed policy and funding commitment. So first off, you talk about 78 healthy energy housing projects that are mostly just small pilot initiatives. And that's looking at energy efficiency in homes, which you did touch on earlier, and how that's tied to Indigenous health and energy sovereignty. So how do we move beyond those pilots to fund these at scale? What are your thoughts on how we do that? [34:53] James Jenkins: Right. So our approach is really, A, to support these pilots as much as we can so that we have that cohort of Indigenous leadership that has that experience in community, and so it can have that ripple effect where, when we started to see successful generation projects, some of them coming out of the 2020 Catalyst Program, other communities said, "Well, I want to do that too. How do I make that possible?" And then there's some leadership to grow from. So it's really catalyzing that momentum. And where do we start? So that's the piece in terms of making sure that there is a core group of energy leaders in communities that are almost at the stage where they can have a very impactful, community-scale project when it comes to efficiency that can be replicated and that there are individuals with this knowledge that are in the community. [35:41] James Jenkins: So that's the first piece, but then the second piece and the other side of the coin that we're very active in is identifying what would the solution look like to make that kind of change repeatable on a national scale. And what we're generally pointing towards is some aspect of federal support, but also private investment as well. So what kind of mechanism can be put in place that will allow private finance to make sustainability programs for Indigenous healthy homes and buildings and infrastructure feasible? [36:15] James Jenkins: And we think it is going to have to be some kind of partnership between the federal government to secure some kind of financing tool and then to bring that private capital in. And so we have a number of partners that's expanding in the finance sector, in government, to really look at what a solution like that looks like. [36:35] James Jenkins: Indigenous housing, being a federal responsibility with the federal government having a large role in it, is certainly unusual and comes with some very unique challenges that make change at that scale difficult, but it's also an opportunity. And it does put the federal government in a position where it could lead a process like that and have some very large impact. So we want to make sure there is the existing community capacity for community members to know what meaningful change looks like at the local level, what the challenges and opportunities are that can contribute to that process. So that's the idea behind the Project Accelerator, but also design at the national level of a program that can lead to new builds, new sustainable builds, and retrofits on a major scale. [37:21] James Jenkins: And there are interesting examples. I was in the US earlier this year at a clean energy conference and was surprised to learn that there were very large subsidies for energy efficiency that were available to Indigenous communities up until recently—I would say at a scale tenfold of what we've ever seen in Canada. So those kinds of programs are possible, and I think we need to think outside the box and think about how do we put this into action. [37:51] James Jenkins: But ultimately, what we point out in those reports is that energy efficiency also leads to other very critical outcomes, including health and social outcomes at the community level. And speaking with communities, politicians from communities, housing tends to be a near number one or number one issue, with housing in need of repair being the core issue. And so ensuring that new housing is built with these sustainability measures in place will lead to houses that stay healthy for longer. And so, you know, it really goes much farther than just energy outcomes and that's why it's so critical. [38:34] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, it's another example of it it's not an either or question here, it's, you know, do it right in the right way and have a focus on both healthy and affordable housing at the same time as making sure it's energy efficient and you're kind of achieving both of those goals. So that's great. [38:58] Trevor Freeman: So, the second item you've identified in this section is, you know, a lot of northern and remote communities who rely on diesel for their energy focus, and our listeners may remember about a year ago we had a conversation with Quest Canada on this topic as well. And so, a lot of those communities are among the most affected by climate change and natural disasters, and you address what needs to happen from an early-stage planning and funding perspective to ensure that those communities that are not necessarily connected to a grid aren't left behind in this transition. Can you speak to us a little bit about that? [39:41] James Jenkins: Absolute. So already the cost of diesel in these remote communities is very high. So it's already an economic and social challenge in the territories and remote areas in the northern provinces. And so it's an area where communities tend to be very engaged and have been since the beginning. So we've been engaged with northern communities since the beginning with 2020 Catalyst. [40:15] James Jenkins: And I think it has a really—for them, clean energy has this impact on them like on a visceral level. For communities that have been able to implement clean technology and turn off the diesel generator for a while, they've talked about the impact of that silence that they haven't heard in so long, you know, the smell of clean air and that sort of thing. So there's this real passion, but also acknowledgment that, you know, they want to be part of a larger climate solution, they're feeling the impacts. And so there are many initiatives in the north, a number of which we've supported. [40:53] James Jenkins: But there are many challenges as well in terms of logistics, the value chain. Transportation is a real challenge compared to infrastructure in the south. So because there have been so many projects and we partnered with the federal government through two phases of a program called the Indigenous Off-Diesel Initiative—and that was supported by a number of federal programs and we're just finishing off the second cohort—there is so much that we've learned through a couple dozen communities that have been heavily invested in reducing their diesel reduction. [41:35] James Jenkins: And we're really at a stage now where we can learn—we can take stock of what we've learned through this process and identify how do we get this to the stage of successful projects. And we've learned a number of things. It's also bringing technology to these places that's robust enough to withstand the challenges and just be at a utility scale, ensuring different technologies can work well with each other. [42:04] James Jenkins: But there's a real need to continue that growth, especially when there's been so much investment and so many communities are so close, with a few success stories and so much pride that comes with this. But ultimately, if they are left behind, the cost for them to power their communities with diesel is not going to become less of a challenge over time. It's only going to become more problematic. And so it's a real priority, and something that, you know, we need to keep staying loud about as well because these are where some of our real energy leaders are living and coming from when it comes to clean energy and ensuring that their priorities have a seat at the table. [42:52] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, you mention success stories, James, and as we kind of wrap up our conversation here, I want to touch on that a little bit. So you talk about looking at this in perspective of the global stage, and one of your policy recommendations discusses Canada Global Indigenous Cooperation. And you outline that there are more examples of successful Indigenous-led energy projects in Canada than anywhere else in the world. How is your organization, Indigenous Clean Energy, sharing this expertise internationally, and what can the rest of the world learn about what's happening here in Canada? [43:32] James Jenkins: So we started to learn just how far ahead Canada is in this area through participation in forums like the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, and we participated in a pre-conference with 88 global Indigenous delegates. And many of them were surprised to learn of these equity projects and opportunities that exist in Canada. For us, it can still be very frustrating, so it is good to put that in perspective in terms of—from many other jurisdictions, they're still at the beginning stages. [44:06] James Jenkins: But we do have some programs in place, and for several years we've been supporting a sister organization in Australia called First Nations Clean Energy Network using a train-the-trainer model. So we've been active in Australia every year. We've been active in New Zealand as well. And we have some programming in South America in Ecuador and Colombia. And over the last year, we finished a program where we engaged with all of the provinces within Colombia with delegates from communities to assist in developing clean energy plans for their communities that they could bring to the government and and discuss a partnership framework so that they could start to reduce their reliance on diesel and other other carbon fuels. [44:59] James Jenkins: And we supported those meetings with the government as well and supported delegates from these countries to also visit communities and see success stories in Canada. And the US is another area where there have been some really positive success stories over the last few years, and there were a number of energy programs that particularly rural and remote communities benefited from, Alaska having probably a slight majority and then others in the northern part of the Lower 48. I think they're going to start to struggle because those programs are sunsetting now, I think most of them have recently sunsetted. And so I think it should be a wake-up call to our federal government that there has been this investment in the form of grants from the federal government. If we don't have some kind of programming in place, we will start to see that progress recede. [45:57] James Jenkins: But just in general, there's a lot that we can share with other jurisdictions globally, everything from what a good partnership looks like, you know, what are the learnings for meaningful participation. But we do have some examples that are very unique, I think, in almost every jurisdiction—Indigenous equity in transmission lines is is really unheard of, so so we should, you know, acknowledge that there are some things that we're doing well and um sharing that and learning what other communities are going through in other jurisdictions. It also really helps us in our strategy. [46:40] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I mean we started this conversation with you describing what your organization does, and something that struck me is it's a combination of supporting projects and project models and helping things get up and running off the ground, providing education, and focusing on advocacy. And I imagine that, you know, even within Canada but also looking at some of the partners you've just mentioned around the world, the focus on, you know, each one of those individual aspects will vary depending on what the biggest need is in that jurisdiction at that time as things change, as funding programs change. So I imagine, you know, advocacy becomes more and more important as you see funding programs change or even just project structure change. Is that kind of fair to say? [47:28] James Jenkins: Definitely. And our model is very community-driven with with community-tailored solutions and with education and capacity building at the community level being our our primary focus, which does set us apart from other organizations to some extent, but does reflect that that um every every solution is going to be different, and really bringing up that capacity at the community level is the most effective way to do it. And for these kinds of projects, there isn't one solution that fits everybody. [48:02] Trevor Freeman: Is there, to kind of wrap it up here, is there, you know, one piece of advice that you'd give to—I know this is a bit of a big loaded question, it's hard to boil it all down to one piece of advice—but is there something that you would kind of leave with let's say a utility or a developer who wants to build a successful and mutually beneficial partnership with Indigenous communities? What's that kind of one piece of advice you'd leave with them? [48:30] James Jenkins: Um, the one piece of advice, and sometimes I am asked that question, and I know there are developers outside of Canada that are starting to look at our market as things change globally. And what I would share, first of all, meeting with the communities is incredibly important. Community leadership, finding out what their process is for engagement and then establishing that relationship is hugely important. And um I think the advice usually stops there. I think many utilities and developers have heard that. [49:07] James Jenkins: But what I would suggest based on my own experience is that engagement occurs from the very top of the organization, from the utility and the developer. And that if the C-suite isn't meeting with the Indigenous partner themselves, they should be fully aware and engaged in what's happening. And that's usually the recipe for success. And you know, for these opportunities, many communities have a history where trust is something that does need to be cultivated, and that would be my main suggestion. I think it's where really successful partnerships have their strength, is there's that level of engagement from the entire vertical organization of the non-Indigenous partner. And so when there is an issue, political leadership from the community, they know who to call and vice versa, and it doesn't lead to larger misunderstandings. And it can lead to some of the more innovative projects we've seen like Oneida Storage, and there are many other examples of that where the developer and the community, after a successful project, they sit down together and they say, "What's next?" And they want to build on what they've developed together. [50:37] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I guess that's an indication of there actually being a relationship, trust built, rather than just kind of boxes checked and a process being followed. But if there's that actual trust built, it is more of a conversation that what next question can come up and there's sort of that mutual learning. So that's great. Thank you for that. So James, we always end our interviews with the same series of questions to our guests. So I'm going to dive right in here. What's a book that you've read that you think everybody should read? [51:11] James Jenkins: These are the top uh these are probably going to be the tougher questions for me, but um so I recently read a book by Cal Flyn, a UK author from Scotland, and it's called Islands of Abandonment. And the subtitle is Nature Rebounding in the Post-Human Landscape. And what she does is, in an investigative journalist style, goes to places where there hasn't been human presence for 50 or more years. Some of them are no man's land in war zones, some of them are cities facing urban decay, some of them are environmental catastrophe sites like Chernobyl, but then finding that nature has rebounded and that there is remarkable biodiversity in some of these places. [51:59] James Jenkins: So the message I don't want to take away from that is that if you get rid of humans everything will be perfect, because humans have had an impact on the landscape everywhere for much longer than we can comprehend. And in some cases, negative impacts to the landscape are because humans aren't doing what they were doing for a long time. So human intervention has a role and always will, but I think it's important to tell more stories that aren't a story of loss when we get to that point. [52:36] James Jenkins: And for Indigenous communities, many of us have been going through a process of healing, and many of us are still in that process. But as we start to heal and and ask ourselves what's next, that's when we start to think about regeneration, so regenerative energy, revitalization of our culture and and that's what's next and acknowledging that practices that have been lost are near lost can be revitalized in a way that that is uh is incredibly meaningful. And so I was happy to see that story in a widely publicized book because the major story in conservation, but also climate and other areas, has been one of loss. And so, with all of this loss, and and in some cases, you know, a bedrock of tragedy and historical tragedy, where is the, you know, where is the good news story? And I think having these stories about how nature can regenerate is important. It's important to tell that story. [53:50] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, that's fantastic. I appreciate that explanation, and these aren't supposed to be my questions to answer, but I do want to quickly mention a book called What If We Get It Right?—and I can't remember the author off the top of my head, but it really is a series of essays and poems and an exploration of like, what if we do the right things and we can address climate change? And I found it very helpful to kind of be able to imagine, yeah, this is what happens if we do the right thing, if we can address some of these challenges. So, along the same vein as what you mentioned. So, the next question is kind of the same, but what's a movie or a show that you've watched that you think everyone should take a look at? [54:36] James Jenkins: Uh, that that's a really tough one. I do like movies and shows. Um, I recently started watching two British series, um and uh they seem to be very into murder mysteries in the UK, which uh isn't something, you know, normally my favorite, but they do it really well. So I I really liked um Shetland, which is a series that takes place in remote islands in Northern Scotland. [55:06] James Jenkins: In some ways, I think even the setting that it's trying to tell, it resonates with our work in some ways and even the experience of living in an Indigenous community in a less remote location. So I enjoyed that, and then that led to um Sherlock, the the newer one starring Benedict Cumberbatch, which I thought was a very intelligent um show with a, you know, a compelling uh character with sort of superhero, but but somewhat comic book style realistic attributes, but also failings. Um, so I find I enjoy shows that are drawing from literature and putting them into today's terms and not worrying too much about um, you know, what's realistic and what's not, but really trying to—what would we how would this be written today? So I enjoyed that as well. [55:58] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I like that. Um, if somebody offered you a free round trip anywhere in the world, where would you go? [56:05] James Jenkins: So, Air Canada used to have contests for that, and we used to say Nunavut because it would get the most bang for your buck. You know, these are $4,000–$5,000 tickets, which speaks to the challenges that those communities face when it comes to decarbonizing the north. Um, for me, I mentioned I spent much of my childhood in Northern Arizona. I think at this time I'd probably use it for that, you know, I hope to visit again soon. [56:39] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, fantastic. Um, James, who is someone that you admire? [56:44] James Jenkins: Um, I've been grateful for wonderful mentors in the course of my career. Um, I'm really grateful that the founder of ICE, Chris Henderson, has dedicated himself to be a mentor for me and has has really he's committed to that um and I've learned a great deal from him. [57:04] James Jenkins: Working at Walpole Island, there were a number of chiefs that I worked closely with and have been thinking about one, um Charles Samson, who's passed away, and he really came into his own once he was chief. He had run for a long time, over 10 years, and um really learned a lot from him and his perspective. But then, uh other chiefs, Burton Kewayosh and Dan Miskokomon really really supported me and helped um helped develop my uh the breath of experience that I draw from. And today, um the current chief, Leela Thomas, is really showing some really great leadership, and I think it's a real breakthrough in our region that most of the chiefs in Southwestern Ontario are female, which was um really more rare in the past. So that's a breakthrough as well. [57:59] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, that's great. Uh, and final question, what is something about the energy sector or its future that you're particularly excited about? [58:08] James Jenkins: Um, I think what I'm excited about is that the door is open for Indigenous communities to really change the way that they're engaged with the economy, um for there to be some real opportunities for business development. Um, you know, for many years because I lived in the United States for a while, it felt like the overall economic development capacity of US tribes was far beyond what exists in Canada for a number of reasons. And and one of them is there were a few key industries in the US that the federal government, um it cultivated at different times, gaming being one, uh but it did lead to the infrastructure for US tribes to engage in business all across the country in a way that's still the exception rather than the rule in Canada. [59:02] James Jenkins: So it is exciting for me to think about there being that shift and that um truly Indigenous-led projects stop becoming one-offs, um but they start to be that real uh, you know, Indigenous leadership becomes embedded in the framework of energy decision-making. Um, the idea of it becoming a career path becomes more solidified. So I think it was a dream at one point that some ambitious leaders had, like thinking of Saugeen and Nawash equity participation in that transmission line, there was no blueprint for that. [59:39] James Jenkins: Um, but now that there's been a dream and we've seen it come into practice, so um it's exciting to think that we may continue to see that progress, and then in 10 years there there will be some foundational pillars for communities to really meet their own communities' needs on their own terms. Right now it continues to be a challenge in most places. It's uh, you know, what do we prioritize with limited resources? And um yeah, exciting that this could be a pathway to to start thinking more in terms of abundance. [1:00:19] Trevor Freeman: Yeah, I mean we started this conversation with you describing what your organization does, and something that struck me is it's a it's a combination of supporting projects and project models and helping things get up and running off the ground, providing education, and focusing on advocacy. And I imagine that, you know, even within Canada but also looking at some of the partners you've just mentioned around the world, the focus on, you know, each one of those individual aspects will vary depending on what the biggest need is in that jurisdiction at that time as things change, as funding programs change. So I imagine, you know, advocacy becomes more and more important as you see funding programs change or even just project structure change. Is that kind of fair to say? [1:01:03] Trevor Freeman: James, thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate you coming on the show and helping us understand the work that Indigenous Clean Energy is doing, some of the great success stories, but also a little bit of the path that's still to be walked in order to get to success. So thanks very much, I appreciate your time. [1:01:21] James Jenkins: Thank you, Trevor, really enjoyed it. Thanks so much. [1:01:23] Trevor Freeman: Great. Take care.

Ozeáš 2,4-15 4 Žalujte svoju matku, obžalujte ju, že nie je mojou ženou, a tak ani ja nie som jej mužom. Nech si odstráni z tváre znaky smilstva a z pŕs znaky cudzoložstva! 5 Ak nie, vyzlečiem ju donaha a vystavím ju takú, akou bola v deň svojho narodenia. Obrátim ju na pustatinu, spravím ju podobnú vyprahnutej zemi, nechám ju zomrieť od smädu. 6 Nad jej deťmi sa nezmilujem, keďže sú to deti zo smilstva, 7 lebo ich matka smilnila, ich rodička sa dopustila hanebnosti, veď hovorievala: ‚Pôjdem za svojimi milencami, za tými, čo mi dávajú chlieb a vodu, vlnu a ľan, olej a nápoje.‘ 8 Preto hľa! Zahradím jej cestu tŕním a ohradím ju múrom, takže nenájde svoje chodníky. 9 Vydá sa za svojimi milencami, ale nedostihne ich, bude ich hľadať, ale nenájde ich. Vtedy povie: ‚Vrátim sa k svojmu prvému mužovi, lebo vtedy mi bolo lepšie ako teraz.‘ 10 Ona však nevie, že to ja som jej dával obilie, mušt a čerstvý olej. Dal som jej mnoho striebra a zlata, ale venovala ho Baalovi. 11 Preto si vezmem späť svoje obilie, až príde jeho čas, a svoj mušt, keď príde jeho obdobie. Odnímem od nej svoju vlnu a ľan, určené na zakrytie jej nahoty. 12 Teraz odhalím jej nehanebnosť pred očami všetkých jej milencov a nikomu sa nepodarí zachrániť ju z mojej moci. 13 Urobím koniec všetkým jej radostiam — sviatkom, oslavám novmesiaca, sobotám a všetkým slávnostným príležitostiam. 14 Zničím jej vinič aj figovníky, o ktorých hovorí: ‚Je to poplatok, ktorým ma vyplácajú moji milenci.‘ Nechám ich zarásť lesom a potom ich požerie divá zver. 15 Potrestám ju za dni zasvätené baalom, keď im prinášala kadidlové obety, zdobila sa náušnicami a šperkami a chodila za svojimi milencami, na mňa však zabúdala,“ znie výrok Hospodina. Obvinená. Otvor si dnes Božie slovo a čítaj: „Obviňujte si matku“, … „vyzlečiem ju donaha“, … „nezľutujem sa“, … „spustoším“… Čo sú to za myšlienky? Tvrdé slová, však? Nie, nechcú nikoho znechutiť ani odradiť. Môže to znamenať, že Pán vidí do môjho srdca, do mojej mysle. Nie je tajomstvom, že aj myšlienkami hrešíme, že koketujeme s rôznymi názormi iných náboženstiev, filozofických smerov, že nás ovplyvňujú spoločenské názory. Nie som súčasťou neverného ľudu Božieho, raz som tu a zase tam. Ako to bolí, keď „kresťania“ prestávajú chodiť na Služby Božie, čítať Bibliu, lebo sa káže, že Hospodin vidí do nášho myslenia, lebo Pán Ježiš káže milovať blížneho – bez môjho vlastného výberu. Prorok píše o neviere Izraela. Cítil si, človeče, vo svojom svedomí, že nie vždy konáš podľa vôle Božej? Že hľadáš iné spoločenstvá, iné osobnosti? Iba po obvinení a pokání nasleduje odpustenie a požehnanie. A ide o to, aby tvoj i môj život bol požehnaním. Tvoje srdce nech patrí iba Pánovi Ježišovi – nikomu inému! Modlitba: Ďakujem Ti, Pane a Bože náš, že si aj dnes, aj každý deň, v každom okamihu s nami, so Svojou milosťou! Amen. Pieseň: ES 453 Autor: Zuzana Moncoľová Mladíci sa unavia a ustanú, mládenci sa potkýnajú na každom kroku. Tí však, čo očakávajú Hospodina, dostávajú novú silu, ako orly stúpajú na krídlach, budú utekať a neustanú, pôjdu a nevyčerpajú sa. Izaiáš 40,30-31 Vytrvajme v behu, ktorý máme pred sebou. Upierajme zrak na Ježiša, pôvodcu a završovateľa našej viery. Hebrejom 12,1-2 1.Petra 4,7-11 •  Modlíme sa za: Slovenská Ves (TaS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes vnímam Božie obvinenie — či som si vedomý/á, že Boh vidí do môjho srdca a mysle, a či koketujem s inými náboženstvami, filozofiami alebo spoločenskými názormi, ktoré ma odvádzajú od Neho? Kde v mojom živote som ako Izrael, ktorý hľadá „milencov“ (materiálne istoty, úspech, uznávanie) namiesto Boha — čo som si odomkol/a Boha a venoval/a to niečomu inému? Ako dnes odpovedám na Božie obvinenie — či sa vraciam k „prvému mužovi“ (Ježišovi) s pokánie, alebo stále hľadám „milencov“ a čakám, že ma oni spasia? Aplikácia do života: Dnes si spomeňte na jednu oblast, kde ste koketovali s iným názorom, vierou alebo hodnotou, ktorá vás odvádzala od Boha. Napíšte si modlitbu pokánia za to a povedzte Bohu: „Vraciam sa k Tebe, lebo len Ty mi dávaj život.“ Potom urobte jeden krok vrátenia sa: čítanie Slova, modlitba, alebo vyznanie hriechu pred niekým. Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

“Be kind to people and treat your beer well.”It's been an emotional few days for Nemesia Dale-Cully – or Meesh as she's known to most. For almost half a decade, she's been running the venue at Wildflower in Marrickville, where they bade farewell to their last customers on May 31.We took the opportunity to chat to Meesh ahead of the closing weekend, not just to reflect on her time at Wildflower but also to find out what she believes goes into creating a great hospitality experience – both for staff and customers.Her insights have been earned over a period in which she swapped running events at libraries for bar shifts at Sweet Amber in Adelaide, which led to working at Pirate Life as the brewery swapped its OG Hindmarsh home for its Port Adelaide behemoth, then being headhunted by Shapeshifter as they set up home, before swapping Adelaide for Sydney's Inner West.Her advice ranges from the importance of respect, kindness and “meeting people where they are”, to cleanliness and theatre. And we go deeper too, with Meesh one of the most respected voices in the beer community on diversity and inclusivity, not least when businesses or individuals – on either side of the bar – fail to meet even basic standards of civility.There was big news in the world of big beer this week, with Lion announcing they're to cease brewing at James Boag Brewery in Launceston, while in the world of indie beer, the IBA revealed they‘re switching the focus of their Indies awards from liquid to people, and our Building A Brewery series returned for a third chapter.With Pint of Origin wrapped up, we've lined up a bunch of new specials for members of our Crafty Cabal beer club, so if you'd like to boost your beer experience while supporting us on our good beer mission, feel free to sign up.

Edición en caliente de Lucky Losers porque no se podía dejar pasar. Jannik Sinner viene de 30 partidos ganados al hilo, tres Masters 1000 de arcilla seguidos (Monte Carlo, Madrid y Roma), Alcaraz fuera del torneo, y todo apuntaba a su primer Roland Garros. Iba 2 sets a 0, 5-1 en el tercero y sacando para el partido. Y se cayó.Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, el mismísimo "Cerúndolo zurdo" que el equipo lleva años llamando con cariño "el malo", aprovechó los calambres y los problemas de Sinner con el calor parisino para llevarse el partido 3-6 2-6 7-5 6-1 6-1 y mandar al número uno del mundo a la casa en segunda ronda.Por primera vez desde el US Open 2023, un Grand Slam masculino no lo va a ganar ni Sinner ni Alcaraz. Se abre el cuadro, Djokovic huele el 25, y nuestros pronósticos de la previa se van todos al tacho. Conversamos sobre cómo se reordena Roland Garros con esta bomba.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

“It's so great to see that people care, that there is still interest in the movement.”Fresh off the back of the Australian International Beer Awards and both the federal and Victorian state budgets, we invited the CEO and chair of the Independent Brewers Association (IBA) to join us on the show.There was plenty to reflect on and project from in the respective budgets, as well as the ongoing conversations around excise that have been capturing headlines and the public's attention alike, not least off the back of Independent Senator David Pocock's campaigning.Those discussions form just part of the episode, with Sabrina and Evin offering insight into the IBA's key priorities, the real costs to consumers of the various container deposit schemes across the country, the impact of non-payment of bills across the industry, funding to reboot the Tasmanian Ale Trail, and plans to replace the Indies with awards that celebrate the people of the indie beer community.James sat out the main chat due to his position on the board of the IBA, but joins Will for the intro. As well as looking back on a booming opening half to Pint of Origin, they summarise this week's features on two of the country's independent breweries: Mog Brew and the rebirthed Zig Zag Brewery.If you enjoy the show – or have enjoyed any past episodes – we're really appreciate it if you could like, subscribe, rate, review or tell your beer-loving mates too.Start of segments: 0:00 – The Week On Crafty 9:39 – Are You Australia's Biggest Beer Fan? 10:46 – Sabrina & Evin Part 1 38:49 – 100 Years of Roasting at Joe White Maltings 39:57 – Sabrina & Evin Part 2To find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

(29.4.2026) Klasikárska jar je za nami a je čas si ju zrekapitulovať. Víťaz je jasný. Tadej Pogačar sa triumfom v San Reme míľovými krokmi priblížil ku kompletizácií všetkých piatich monumentov. Pavé sektory severovýchodného Francúzska však pre neho ostávajú naďalej výzvou. Paul Seixas priniesol na kopcovité klasiky čerstvý vietor. Na Pogačara ešte zďaleka nemá, ale je to on, kto sa dokáže najdlhšie držať jeho zadného kolesa. Príjemným oživením jari boli výsledky Wouta Van Aerta, korunované víťazstvom na Roubaix. Monument sa tentoraz neušiel Mathieuovi van der Poelovi, hoci výsledkovo môže Holanďan uzavrieť jar minimálne uspokojivo. Prepadákom jari je jednoznačne Lidl-Trek. Iba jedno pódium Matthiasa Skjelmoseho pôsobí v kontexte tímu so silnou klasikárskou identitou až príliš skromne. Diskutujte a súťažte s nami na Discorde!

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE Sermon Part 2: Christ in Our Conversations So for this part two, our theme of our preaching is “Christ in our conversations.” Sabi nga sa Matthew chapter 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” But of course, we also honor and value ‘yung mga intimate at personal conversations natin with God through prayer. While it is true na mas yumayabong at nabibigyan ng buhay ang ating mga conversations with each other and the community. After all nga ‘di ba, bilang isang Metropolitan Community Church, community is our middle name. Tama ba?. I also believe na mahalagang pagtuunan din natin ng pansin and a good practice ‘yung pagiging self-aware. Ang matutong makinig sa pansariling pangangailangan, to listen to our bodies, to affirm ourselves first na hindi kasalanan ang pagiging bakla, so that we can also affirm others. We need to resolve our own struggles before we can do that for other people. The famous line: you cannot pour from an empty cup. And we have clarity in our personal lives to inspire that capacity to others. Shit ba? Paborito na ni Joseph?. Mga kasita, we miss you, Chang. So we know that God, through Jesus, has always been with us in our journey. At napakinggan din natin ang isa sa mga pinaka-life-changing na holy conversation moment doon sa ating gospel reading , kung saan, after nilang mag-sharing about scripture ng breaking of bread ay bigla na lang naglaho ‘yung stranger na kasalubong nila patungong Emmaus. At sa punto ring ‘yon, na-realize nila na it was Jesus, that it was him all along. Christ is present in our conversations. Hindi lamang tuwing linggo sa ating praise and worship, kundi sa mga ordinary moments in our lives. Hindi lamang sa mga masasaya, lalo’t higit sa mga masasalimuot at difficult conversations that we have to deal with. Naalala ko ‘yung chika ko, paniniwala ako nung bago ako dumating sa MCC sa Open Table. Pansin niyo ba na sa mga moments na when we have personal conversations with God, may mga times na tayo lang ‘yung nagsasalita, where we cry out to Jesus. We give thanks, we ask forgiveness, and may mga moments naman na tayo ay tahimik lang and letting our hearts speak the prayers that our mouths couldn’t utter. Parang ‘yung mga moments na ‘yon na siya naman ‘yung nangungusap sa atin. Man through words, pero alam mo at ramdam mo ‘yung healing, ‘yung kagaanan ng loob, at sa mga ganitong moments natin tila mas nararamdaman ang kanyang presence sa ating buhay. So last week ay na-mention ko ‘yung tungkol sa mga naging struggle ko sa work recently at kung paano ko binaka ‘yung feeling of being overwhelmed. I mean, I am glad that I was able to get through it, but I am also aware that it’s not the same for everyone. Some people may still be in that situation or perhaps find themselves in the loop na paulit-ulit lang or paikot-ikot lang. Sa dami ng aking iniisip—trabaho, travels, at iba pang ganap as an extrovert at natural people person. At the same time, ‘yung mga gampanin sa ating simbahan as pastor in discernment, in that journey, I stumbled upon ‘yung podcast of Coach Pia Acevedo. Kilala niyo ba si Coach Pia? So si Coach Pia is a life coach, author, and a leadership trainer with over two decades of experience in coaching and counseling. She helps people cut through confusion and live with clarity, purpose, and intention so that they can focus on what truly matters. Isa sa mga magandang napulot ko from her ay connected sa pagiging present. Hindi man lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na marami sa ating mga akla ay mga breadwinner. Imagine as a queer person who is already struggling to fight discrimination on top of the fight for the same rights as our straight allies. Isa pa sa mga dagdag na challenge ang pagiging breadwinner. Hindi ko na alam kung ilang beses ko nang na-tackle ang topic na ito. I think deserve na nito ng isang preaching series at malalang holy conversation moments at kasama na sa mga listahan ng mga personal advocacies na malapit sa aking puso. Pero habang wala pa tayo doon, I suggest you can grab muna ‘yung copy nung books from Coach Pia. Nag-promote pa, not sponsored. So I’m yet to finish ‘yung first book and ito ‘yun. Ito ‘yung unang “Focus on What Matters”. I’m yet to finish this and plan to start ‘yung isa pa, ‘yung “Moment to Moment”, right after. I hope na makatulong ito upang magkaroon tayo ng clarity sa dami ng ating mga iniisip. So anyway, I’m sure nag-aantay na kayo kung ang haba na ng sinabi ko at wala pa ako doon sa main point. Ito na nga, bilang isang breadwinner na bakla, at another example is sa ating mga straight allies na as a parent, sa mga kapatid nating OFWs na nagtatrabaho at kumakayod , ginagawang araw ang gabi para lang makapagpadala ng pera sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. ‘Di ba nga sila ‘yung mga sagot natin sa tanong na, “Para kanino ka bumabangon?”. “Para sa pamilya, para sa future ng mga anak ko.” ‘Di bale nang magkalayo kami kaysa naman sama-sama kaming mamatay na dilat at gutom. At dahil sa dami na nating iniisip, siyempre wala na tayong capacity para sa maliliit na bagay. Tama ba?. No more time to play with the kids after work dahil madalas pagod na lang sa trabaho kung ‘di pa rin sa commute. Buti kung ganun lang, pero minsan mas malala. At personally, ganito ‘yung eksena ko nung mga unang taon ko sa BPO industry bilang isang breadwinner. Napansin ko na sobrang mainitin ang ulo ko at ang dali kong ma-trigger, ‘yung angil sa mga tao kahit na wala pa naman silang ginagawang masama or kahit sa mga maliliit na bagay. Kayo rin ba may ganitong eksena? Let’s pause for a moment at balikan ‘yung mga sandali ng ating mga buhay na tayo ay napasabi ng, “Ang dami ko nang iniisip, dumagdag pa ‘to.”. Ito ang isang manifestation ng kawalan ng clarity. Akala ko ba para sa kanila ka bumabangon, pero sila rin ‘yung unang nakakaramdam ng mga angil at frustrations mo sa buhay. And si Coach Pia reminds us that when we don’t do our inner work, we don’t just suffer alone. The people we love encounter a compromised version of us. ‘Yun ‘yon. Meet the compromised version of you. Imagine that you’re in front of the mirror ng mahiwagang salamin, boy, for a few moments. Look at that compromised version of you. Do you like what you see?. And imagine kung ano na kaya ang extent ng damage that it had cost you and your loved ones. So paano natin matutulungan ‘yung ating compromised version? What does it take to achieve clarity and focus sa ating mga buhay?. So sa book na “Focus on What Matters,” Coach Pia talks about the need for inner work, which is a journey that starts by laying the groundwork for clarity through practices like self-mastery, self-development, and self-commitment. She talked about habits that we can commit to in order to achieve personal clarity. And for today, I’d like to share to you about M.I.C.K. abbreviation siya. That stands for motivating, inspiring, cheering, and being kind to ourselves. It is both a habit that we can commit to and a muscle we exercise because, again, we can’t pour from an empty cup. And these intentional habits will help us fill our cup. So number one is ‘yung letter M, Motivation. Motivation habit is any regimen or routine that you know works well for you. It involves committing to routines, no matter how trivial, that bring out the best in you. Through these personalized activities, we nurture ourselves and anchor on the stability they provide. An example could be making your bed in the morning, listening to music, and preparing breakfast. One more example could be dedicating a time to exercise, let’s say three times a week. So how do we know if a habit or activity is worth committing to?. We know when we feel something is missing if we skip it, and when we distinctly feel recharged by integrating it into our schedule regularly. Motivation habit serves as a fuel to our tank. By committing to these habits, we experience a steady rhythm that keeps us grounded, whether these are daily, weekly, or monthly habits. Next is your Inspiration, your I. If motivation muscle provides the structure for self-care, inspiration muscle naman brings a wave of joy that refreshes us. Unlike motivation habits which follow rhythm, inspiration habits are done less frequently but offer a full recharge. It enables us to stay connected to what makes us feel alive, providing a surge of deep joy in moments when it is needed. Tapping our sources of inspiration which ignite our natural creativity can foster positive energy and overall well-being. And sabi ni Coach Pia, among doon sa mga clients niya, travel is the most common source of inspiration. We can only take trips every so often, but when we do, there’s infusion of new energy. Traveling reconnects us to the natural enthusiasm and joy reminiscent of childhood. And to activate inspiration muscle is to take ownership of your need for mga picker-upper choices and activities that infuse you with the surge of energy. Other than travel, this can also range from planning a trip or to simple pleasures like enjoying a YouTube video or tuning into a podcast. Mga ka-eme. May mga ka-eme ba dito? Yes. Or listening to music that swiftly recharges you to become your best self. Learning something new or engaging in hobbies that awaken your creativity can also serve this purpose. Even revisiting ‘yung mga old hobbies that once sparked joy can once again ignite your enthusiasm for life and tap into the best version of yourself. As clarity is a personal journey, only you yourself are capable of choosing the inspiration that you need. An inspired person feels alive. Whatever brings you inspiration is a non-negotiable in your life. Next naman is ‘yung C which stands for Cheer. Picture yourself as your own personal cheerleader. The cheer muscle involves encouraging ourselves to push past our limits, especially in our adversity. Cheer is a non-negotiable habit we put in place to help us manage stress. We can proactively anticipate stressful times and plan ahead by intentionally plotting activities and inserting habits into our schedule. This will help us manage the demand of our hectic schedule. Sensitivity toward ourselves is crucial in strengthening our cheer muscle. Start exercising sensitivity and observation skills. Look at your calendar and anticipate which specific meetings, social events, projects, or deliverables you know will trigger your stress, anxiety, or heaviness. Kumbaga paghahandaan mo na siya. Pag alam mo mas-stress ako sa week na ‘to , kailangan gumawa na ako ng mga habits na magre-recharge sa akin. This approach provides you with the support needed to manage potential heaviness or disengagement. Since we know ourselves best, let’s prepare ourselves for anticipated stress and activities. Just like a cheerleader motivates the team during the final seconds of a game, we cheer for ourselves to stay resilient and persevere towards our goals. Even when the going gets tough, our cheer muscle enables us to face life’s challenges well-prepared as they often come relentlessly unexpected. A strong cheer muscle enhances our resilience, enabling us to bounce back more quickly from stressful situations. Last naman is ‘yung Kindness. Kindness is your capacity to be nurturing, kind, patient, and compassionate towards yourself just as you would a loved one or a best friend. The strength of our kindness muscle should allow you to be intentional in your caring for others as you would care for yourself. One strong measure of the strength of your kindness muscle is our capacity to forgive ourselves, forgive others, or ask for forgiveness for when we feel we may have hurt. And kindness is the most difficult muscle to strengthen. As often than not, we did not grow up with strong models of people around us living a life of kindness, nurturing patience and love for ourselves. Nabanggit ko rin ‘to doon sa ano natin, parang hirap para sa atin na maging forgiving of ourselves. From a young age, we are also taught to prioritize the needs of others. Yet, our ability to care for others hinges on how well we take care of ourselves. Showing kindness to ourselves is important, especially when we face setbacks or disappointments. It’s about offering ourselves the same support and encouragement that we readily give others. Strengthening our kindness muscle means taking the time to pause, relax, and rest. Doing anything that nurtures you, like eating well, enjoying your favorite food, and getting plenty of sleep is essential. We must accept that we cannot always meet our own expectations and let go of attachments to specific outcomes. By forgiving ourselves when we falter, honoring the progress we’ve made, and staying open to learning from failures, we create a space for us to grow into the best versions of ourselves. Being kind to yourself is also a non-negotiable in your life. So ano siya, pwedeng magkakahalo siya, ‘yung mga what motivates you can also inspire you. Pwedeng-pwede siyang pumasok doon sa alin sa mga iyon. So our internal guide has a big say in how we make decisions. It’s all about progress, learning, and embracing our imperfections along the way. This journey of growth allows us to center ourselves and focus on what truly counts in life. The more we nurture this process, the better we become at self-care and connecting with our genuine selves. So I hope that you also learned something as much as I did nung sa book na ‘to at marami pa. Ipapa-hiram ko kasi hindi pa ako tapos. At ‘yun sa part na nai-share ko sa inyo about sa “Focus on What Matters” by Coach Pia, ito ‘yung mga simpleng bagay na pwede nating gawin para sa ating mga sarili to move from a compromised version to the best version of ourselves. Pero hindi natatapos doon ang lahat. As we strive to become the best version of ourselves, mahalaga ring pag-usapan ang pagse-set ng boundaries. Beep beep. Baka may matamaan sa pagse-set ng boundaries. Minsan parang profound pakinggan kasi nung boundaries at hindi siya ganoon ka-common sa kultura nating mga Pilipino. Pero just because it’s not common doesn’t mean hindi na natin ito dapat pagtuunan ng pansin. Halimbawa sa pagiging breadwinner, dahil ikaw na ‘yung naghahanap-buhay, mahalagang mag-set ka ng boundaries through shared responsibility sa inyong mga bahay, mga tahanan. I-delegate mo ang mga simpleng gawain upang kahit papaano ay mabawasan ang iyong iniisip. Some might say na madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin , lalo na para sa ilan na bukod sa pagiging breadwinner ay magulang din, or to be specific, nanay. Mahirap talagang iwalay ang pagiging nanay sa pagiging provider as a mother. Pero mahalaga na naiintindihan ito ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Oo, nanay ka , maghahanda ka ng pagkain, mag-aasikaso ka ng gamit ng mga anak mo, but it’s also important to set boundaries. Tandaan mo na kailangan mo rin ng sapat na pahinga para makapag-focus ka sa trabaho na siyang nagbibigay ng kakayahan mong mag-provide para sa iyong pamilya. Kailangan itong ma-communicate. Kailangan ng maayos na usapan kung paano mas mapapagaan ang inyong sitwasyon. At isa lang ito sa marami pang mga halimbawa. Iba’t iba ‘yung dynamics ng bawat isa. Pero ang punto ay ito: Huwag mong piliting saluhin ang lahat. Matutong manghingi ng tulong kapag kailangan. Alam ko hindi ‘to madali, but I hope you are able to do so and have these conversations. After all, wala namang hindi nadadaan sa maayos na usapan. So now let’s go back to the journey ni Cleopas at isa pang disciple. Let us be reminded of their enthusiasm when they realized that they had been in conversation with Jesus all along. This story reminds us that God is always with us sa ating paglalakbay, that we can be that other disciple na unnamed. Hindi man tayo ever makapaglalakad kasama ang historical Jesus, ‘di ba, o baka sa panaginip, pero ano ba ‘yung pangako? That we have each other. We experience Christ in our many conversations with our families, with our loved ones, with our chosen families like here sa ating simbahan, at lalo na when we are intentional sa ating pakikinig at pagiging in solidarity sa iba’t iba pang community lalo na sa mga maralita. As I close this part two, keyword “close,” napaisip rin ako baka lumalayo na ako sa theme na “Christ in our conversations.”. Pero I had a Holy Spirit activate moment. I feel that this is a perfect opportunity to also talk about self-love —ang matutunang makinig sa kung anong sinasabi ng ating mga katawan at isip. After all, magkaugnay ang pagkakaroon ng personal clarity sa ating buhay at ang pagkakaroon ng meaningful conversations sa ating kapwa. By building these small habits for ourselves ay mas mapapayabong natin ang ating mga conversation at ang pag-unawa sa journey ng bawat isa, dahil hindi naman tayo pare-pareho ng kwento, and that’s the beauty of our diversity. Maaaring hindi tayo pare-pareho ng ating pinagdadaanang struggle pero pareho lang naman ang ating pinaglalaban. At sa bawat pakikipag-usap natin sa iba, we find Christ in their stories and hope that they find Christ in us and through us. Napapalalim ang ating pakikipagbahagi at pakikisangkot sa pakikinig ng kanilang kwento. We hold the power to carry these stories and share them with others. And being with Open Table MCC for almost 10 years now, marami na akong nakasama, nakasalamuha, nakadaupang-palad, nakausap at narinig ng mga kwento—ang mga Lumad, ang mga persons deprived of liberty sa QC Women’s Penitentiary , ang mga magsasaka sa Lupang Ramos, ang mga batang PLHIV na nasa pangangalaga ng Duyan Foundation at Project Red Ribbon, at ang ilan sa mga communities na naabutan ng tulong ng Pride Cares, mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa Rodriguez, Rizal at iba pang naabutan ng tulong through our partnership sa iba’t iba pang LGBTQIA+ organizations. Ang kanilang mga kwento ay patuloy kong dadalhin at subukang maibahagi sa marami pang pakikipag-usap, lalo na sa panibagong responsibility as pastor in discernment. Ganito rin ang sinasabi ko sa mga students who come and be in immersion with us. Iilan lang sa kanila ang bakla at may katulad na kwento sa atin, pero ibinabahagi natin ang ating mga kwento in the hope na dalhin nila ito as they go on in their lives hanggang makarating na sila sa kanilang adulting journey, sharing the good news sa mga kapwa nila estudyante who still struggle to resolve their sexuality with their spirituality, to tell them about the small church where you can come as you are in your most authentic self, where you can express your love of God in the most fantabulous and flamboyant way. Amen ba? At bilang Easter people, dahil hindi lang natapos ang kwento sa muling pagkabuhay ni Kristo, let us be reminded that we are the continuation of the story. Galing kay RD ‘yan at lagi kong panghahawakan ‘yang narinig ko sa preaching niya. Ayan, nawala na ako. And with that comes the power na magpatuloy at bilang Open Table MCC to have meaningful conversations, even difficult ones, to take part in the call for ceasefire and to put an end to meaningless war. Conversations that continue to create safe spaces, and our participation in the wider work of justice and peace through Jesus who proclaimed a radically inclusive love for all people, at ‘pag kinakailangan ay harapin ang mga usapang mahirap lalo na sa mga kakilala or kapamilya natin na patuloy nagbubulag-bulagan at pumipili at naghahalal ng mga leader na corrupt at sangkot sa katiwalian. Hindi man ito madali, I hope that we’re always reminded na parte rin sila ng pinaglalaban, that there’s more that unites us than separates us. Let us also be intentional sa pangangamusta sa mga mahal natin sa buhay knowing always that Jesus is present in our conversations to speak with love and compassion. At kung ikaw naman ‘yung may kinikimkim sa loob mo kung ano man ‘yan, I hope that the Holy Spirit touches your heart so you can find the courage to have that conversation, one that could inspire, heal, and transform you and others, knowing that God, Jesus, will be there with you. Amen. The post Easter: The Walk To Emmaus Part 2 appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

VOV1 - Bộ trưởng Tài chính Ấn Độ Nirmala Sitharaman mới đây đã cảnh báo các rủi ro liên quan đến trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI) đang gia tăng nhanh chóng và ngày càng phức tạp, đồng thời yêu cầu hệ thống ngân hàng Ấn Độ khẩn trương tăng cường năng lực phòng thủ mạng và siết chặt chế độ báo cáo, giám sát. Phát biểu tại cuộc họp cấp cao với các cơ quan quản lý và lãnh đạo ngân hàng Ấn Độ, bà Nirmala Sitharaman nhấn mạnh các mô hình AI thế hệ mới đang tạo ra những mối đe dọa “chưa từng có tiền lệ”, đòi hỏi mức độ cảnh giác, chuẩn bị và phối hợp cao hơn giữa các tổ chức tài chính. Trong bối cảnh đó, các ngân hàng được yêu cầu ưu tiên nâng cấp hệ thống an ninh mạng, tăng cường giám sát giao dịch số và chủ động phát hiện sớm các dấu hiệu bất thường.Một nội dung trọng tâm được người đứng đầu ngành Tài chính Ấn Độ nhấn mạnh là việc thiết lập cơ chế chia sẻ thông tin tình báo về các mối đe dọa theo thời gian thực. Theo đó, các ngân hàng cần phối hợp chặt chẽ với Đội ứng phó khẩn cấp máy tính Ấn Độ (CERT-In) và các cơ quan liên quan nhằm bảo đảm mọi rủi ro mới nổi được phát hiện, cảnh báo và xử lý kịp thời trên toàn hệ thống. Đồng thời, các tổ chức tín dụng phải báo cáo ngay lập tức mọi sự cố hoặc hoạt động đáng ngờ tới cơ quan chức năng nhằm hạn chế nguy cơ lan rộng.Bên cạnh đó, Bộ trưởng Tài chính Ấn Độ cũng đề nghị Hiệp hội Ngân hàng Ấn Độ (IBA) xây dựng cơ chế điều phối mang tính thể chế nhằm tăng cường khả năng phản ứng nhanh trước các cuộc tấn công mạng. Các ngân hàng được khuyến khích hợp tác sâu với các chuyên gia và tổ chức an ninh mạng để liên tục cập nhật, nâng cấp các lớp bảo vệ. Đồng thời, cần rà soát toàn diện các lỗ hổng công nghệ, đánh giá mức độ phụ thuộc vào nhà cung cấp bên ngoài và hoàn thiện quy trình báo cáo sự cố.Giới chức Ấn Độ cũng lưu ý rằng, dù AI mở ra nhiều cơ hội trong mở rộng tiếp cận tài chính và cải thiện quản trị rủi ro, nhưng nếu không được kiểm soát hiệu quả, công nghệ này cũng có thể bị lợi dụng cho các hình thức tấn công mạng ngày càng tinh vi.Trong bối cảnh hệ sinh thái tài chính số phát triển nhanh, yêu cầu chuyển sang cách tiếp cận chủ động, kết hợp giữa ứng dụng công nghệ và tăng cường phối hợp thể chế, đang trở nên cấp thiết. Điều này buộc các ngân hàng phải nâng cao năng lực chống chịu, nhằm bảo đảm an toàn và ổn định cho toàn hệ thống tài chính trong thời gian tới.

3. nedeľa po Veľkej noci – Jubilate (Hlasne jasaj Bohu, celá zem! Žalm 66,1) Ak je niekto v Kristovi, je novým stvorením. Staré veci pominuli, nastali nové. 2.Korinťanom 5,17 Ján 15,1-8 1 „Ja som pravý vinič a môj Otec je vinohradník. 2 Každú ratolesť na mne, ktorá neprináša ovocie, odrezáva, a každú, ktorá prináša ovocie, čistí, aby prinášala viac ovocia. 3 Vy ste už čistí pre slovo, ktoré som vám povedal. 4 Zostaňte vo mne a ja vo vás. Podobne ako ratolesť nemôže prinášať ovocie sama od seba, ak nezostane na viniči, tak ani vy, ak nezostanete vo mne. 5 Ja som vinič a vy ratolesti. Kto zostáva vo mne a ja v ňom, prináša veľa ovocia, pretože bezo mňa nemôžete nič urobiť. 6 Ak niekto nezostáva vo mne, vyhodia ho von ako ratolesť a uschne. Potom ich pozbierajú, hodia do ohňa a zhoria. 7 Ak zostávate vo mne a ak aj moje slová zostávajú vo vás, proste, čo len chcete, a stane sa vám. 8 Môj Otec je oslávený tým, že prinášate veľa ovocia a že sa stávate mojimi učeníkmi. Zostaňte vo Mne a Ja vo vás! V slovách nášho Majstra a Pána o pravom vínnom kmeni sa opakujú dva ústredné pojmy: prinášanie ovocia a zostávanie na vínnom kmeni. Iba ak hrozno zostane na vínnom kmeni, je predpoklad, že vinič prinesie ovocie aj v budúcnosti a rovnako, ak nasledovníci zotrvajú pri Ježišovi, je predpoklad, že sa stanú Jeho učeníkmi, a tým oslávia nebeského Otca. Aj nám má byť jasné, že postoj učeníka prinášajúci ovocie podmieňuje stále, hlboké a vnútorné spoločenstvo s Ježišom Kristom. Obraz vínneho kmeňa nesúceho ovocie je zrozumiteľný a myslím, že nepotrebuje veľa vysvetľovania. Hovorí veľmi zrozumiteľne o životodarnej, ovocie prinášajúcej jednote vínneho kmeňa s ratolesťou. Keď počujeme Ježišove slová: „Ja som vínny kmeň“, vieme, že všetko ohľadom prinášania ovocia závisí od Neho – Božieho Syna. On jediný je pôvodcom ovocia, ktoré oslavuje Otca. Oddeliť sa od Ježiša – „vínneho kmeňa“, znamená nevykonať nič, čím by bol oslávený Otec. Preto dnes počujeme Ježiša, ako nám hovorí: „Zostaňte vo Mne a Ja vo vás.“ Modlitba: Láskavý Pane, ďakujem za Tvoje slovo! Požehnaj nás, prosíme Ťa, aby sme prinášali ovocie hodné Teba a nech aj náš dnešný deň je oslavou Tvojho a nášho nebeského Otca! Amen. Pieseň: ES 450 Autor: Pavel Kollár Boh urobil ľudí priamymi, oni však hľadajú samé úskoky. Kazateľ 7,29 Zjavila sa totiž Božia milosť prinášajúca spásu všetkým ľuďom, ktorá nás vychováva, aby sme sa zriekli bezbožnosti a svetských žiadostí a žili v terajšom veku rozvážne, spravodlivo a nábožne. Títovi 2,11-12 Skutky apoštolov 17,22-34 • 1.Mojžišova 1,1-4a(4b-25)26-28(29-30)31a(31b); 2,1-4a • Žalm 66 •  Modlíme sa za: Vydavateľstvo Porta libri Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes zostávam v Ježišovi ako pravom vínnom kmene, aby som prinášal ovocie oslavujúce Otca? Čo pre mňa znamená byť čistý Jeho slovom, spojiť sa s Ním tak, že bez Neho nemôžem nič urobiť? Ako môžem dnes zotrvávať v spojení s Ním, prosiť v súlade s Jeho slovami a stať sa pravým učeníkom prinášajúcim veľa ovocia? Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

En marzo de 2025, un científico francés del CNES fue detenido y deportado al pisar suelo de Estados Unidos. Fue la primera vez que un científico fue calificado de enemigo por parte del nuevo gobierno de Trump. Desde entonces, decenas de científicos han sufrido ataques similares. El último de ellos es el español Roger Calabuig. Es nuestro inviado. Iba a dar un conferencia a Estados Unidos. En cuanto llegó a Las Vegas fue detenido... ¿Qué está pasando?

In this Executive Spotlight episode, Brian Ankney talks with Kyle Martin about the factors shaping today's carwash industry. Martin explains why strong relationships with equipment manufacturers and distributors are essential for long-term success, especially when wash systems are designed to operate for decades. The conversation also explores why in-bay automatic and self-serve washes are gaining momentum again. With lower equipment costs, minimal staffing requirements and strong profit margins, these formats are increasingly appealing for operators navigating labor shortages and rising operating costs. Martin also breaks down how carwash owners can use data to improve performance. By analyzing financial metrics, operational efficiency and customer behavior, operators can uncover opportunities to increase revenue, reduce downtime and refine their marketing strategies. Finally, the discussion touches on how carwash businesses can differentiate themselves in saturated markets through branding, membership programs, superior customer experience and targeted promotions.

Meditación del Evangelio según San Juan 4, 43-54 por el biblista P. Norberto Padilla, misionero claretiano.Lunes 16/mar/2026, Anda, tu hijo vive.Canción: Aumenta mi fe (2016), de Athenas----------Lectura del santo evangelio según san Juan 4, 43-54En aquel tiempo, salió Jesús de Samaria para Galilea. Jesús mismo había hecho esta afirmación: «Un profeta no es estimado en su propia patria». Cuando llegó a Galilea, los galileos lo recibieron bien, porque habían visto todo lo que había hecho en Jerusalén durante la fiesta, pues también ellos habían ido a la fiesta. Fue Jesús otra vez a Caná de Galilea, donde había convertido el agua en vino. Había un funcionario real que tenía un hijo enfermo en Cafarnaún. Oyendo que Jesús estaba llegando de Judea a Galilea, fue a verle, y le pedía que bajase a curar a su hijo que estaba muriéndose. Jesús le dijo: «Como no vean signos y prodigios, no creen». El funcionario insiste: «Señor, baja antes de que se muera mi niño». Jesús le contesta: «Anda, tu hijo está curado». El hombre creyó en la palabra de Jesús y se puso en camino. Iba ya bajando, cuando sus criados vinieron a su encuentro diciéndole que su hijo estaba curado. Él les preguntó a qué hora había empezado la mejoría. Y le contestaron: «Hoy a la una lo dejó la fiebre». El padre cayó en la cuenta de que esa era la hora cuando Jesús le había dicho: «Tu hijo está curado». Y creyó él con toda su familia. Este segundo signo lo hizo Jesús al llegar de Judea a Galilea.Palabra del Señor...

Se reivindica: si "Joaquín Sabina o Joan Manuel Serrat" dicen lo que quieren, pues él es "igual de libre que ellos". Este miércoles, 18 de marzo, Pitingo estrena en el Circo Price de Madrid un espectáculo de una magnitud como pocos. Veintiún artistas en el escenario "de todas las partes del mundo" arroparán al gran cantaor flamenco. El creador de la Soulería vuelve a mostrar su talento para la fusión de géneros, un gran gesto de humildad ante el arte mismo. Pitingo pasó por la sección 'No te Equiwokes' de La Trinchera de Llamas hace unos días. Iba de camino a los ensayos de este nuevo montaje, Pitingo y punto. Al darle la bienvenida al programa, bromeaba: "La verdad es que yo no me equiwoco". Y es que Pitingo ha plantado cara a los intentos de cancelación que ha sufrido y en redes sociales es batallador contra todo lo que huela a woke, progre o políticamente correcto. Su nuevo disco es un homenaje a Carlos Vives, Juan Luis Guerra, Gloria Estefan o Jon Secada. Nos contaba que ha estado mucho tiempo viviendo en Latinoamérica, conviviendo con México, Santo Domingo, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico...". Pitingo se reivindica como mestizo, "hijo de gitano y guardia civil" y en esta nueva aventura musical lo pone en valor: "Hay gente americana, gente latinoamericana, de todo tipo de razas. Gitanos, no gitanos, mulatos, afroamericanos, afroespañoles, de todo, la verdad. Y estoy feliz y son mi familia". Es un planteamiento muy 'no te equivoques', ahora que quieren enfrentarnos con nuestros hermanos mexicanos, le preguntamos. "Exactamente", dice, "eso es lo que nos quieren imponer, el que fueron exterminados. No: si estuviesen exterminados, no estarían cantando ahí conmigo. Somos hermanos", comenta. El artista dice que no se mete en algo que ocurrió "hace 400 años", pero sí sabe "que tenemos muchísimo en común y que la gente de Latinoamérica nos ama de verdad. Hay una parte pequeña que ha generado hispanofobia, porque yo lo he vivido allí y te hacen esas preguntas, pero son los menos, te lo puedo asegurar". Y concluye: "Lo que hacemos en el escenario es que vean que tenemos muchísimo más en común, culturalmente, históricamente, musicalmente". Sobre la conquista dice "lo único que sí sé es que históricamente es bueno, que allí casi todos los apellidos son españoles, que tienen un idioma que compartimos, que es el español, maravilloso, y una cultura maravillosa, son católicos, cristianos. Y vuelvo a repetir: nos adoran y nosotros a ellos. Voy continuamente a México y es falso que nos odien".La cancelación en Murcia Nos cuenta que desde el Ayuntamiento de Murcia orquestaron una campaña "pagada", porque "salió por todos lados y te dabas cuenta de que los perfiles eran todos creados el mismo día", para que su actuación fuera un fracaso, "intentaron hacer un boicot". Por suerte, dice Pitingo, "tengo un público muy fiel y la plaza de toros se llenó hasta la bandera". Comenta: "Ahora todo el mundo es fascista. Sí, aquí en España somos todos fachas, fascistas y me duele, porque esa es una palabra que tiene una importancia muy grande, muy dura. Ha hecho mucho daño, como el comunismo. En cuarenta y cinco años que tengo no la había escuchado de esta manera, para insultar. Me da pena". Con humor, comenta: "Pero bueno, hay que bregar con ello". Y más en un gremio que intenta no salirse del tiesto. Se reivindica: si "Joaquín Sabina o Joan Manuel Serrat" dicen lo que quieren, pues él es "igual de libre que ellos". Y aunque Madrid "fue quien me levantó", dice, "de Madrid al cielo", con este espectáculo tiene ya cerrada una gira: "luego haremos América, Latinoamérica y Europa, por todos lados". Un directo que conecta con la emoción desde lo mínimo, lo íntimo, a la fiesta con palmas y guitarras.

She is a frequent guest on radio shows and podcasts such as “Coast to Coast-AM”. Chiljan, a graduate of U.C.L.A. in history, became interested in the authorship question after watching a TV debate between Charlton Ogburn and a Shakespeare professor on “Firing Line”. Ogburn's case for the 17th Earl of Oxford as the real Shakespeare was overwhelming, and inspired Katherine to do her own research.

Tiffy si po nepríjemnom rozchode s priateľom hľadá nové bývanie. Lenže ponúkané londýnske byty sú príliš drahé a so svojím nízkym príjmom pomocnej editorky si ich nemôže dovoliť. Je taká zúfalá, že odpovie na inzerát, ktorý ponúka spolubývanie so zdieľanou manželskou posteľou. Leon, ktorý inzerát napísal, pracuje na nočné zmeny a na víkendy odchádza preč. V skutočnosti sa teda v byte nikdy nemusia stretnúť. Začnú si nechávať odkazy – najprv o tom, kedy sa odvážajú odpadky, postupne sú však odkazy srdečnejšie, jeden druhému nechávajú jedlo či koláče, debatujú o všeličom možnom. Hoci sú rozdielni, čoskoro sa spriatelia. A možno medzi nimi vznikne aj niečo viac. Ibaže zaľúbiť sa do svojho spolubývajúceho asi nie je dobrý nápad, najmä ak ste sa s ním nikdy nestretli! „Očarujúca romantická komédia s príťažlivým príbehom a dobre načasovanými stretnutiami.“ - The Guardian Audiokniha: Spolubývajúca Autor: Beth O'Leary Interpret: Michaela Husárová a Adam Herich Dĺžka: 12:07 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing Audiokniha Spolubývajúca na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Spolubývajúca na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

Seguro que lo has oído muchas veces, tanto aplicado a modelos de calle como a coches de competición: "Cuanto más eficaz es un coche, más delicado se vuelve". Pero, ¿cuánta verdad científica hay detrás de esta afirmación? En el vídeo de hoy nos alejamos de la teoría árida para entrar en la técnica aplicada. Vamos a analizar por qué, en el mundo de la ingeniería automotriz, a menudo no se puede tener todo. El compromiso del ingeniero Un coche de calle es un compromiso constante: debe ser potente pero eficiente, amplio pero compacto, equipado pero económico. Sin embargo, cuando llegamos al bastidor y al comportamiento dinámico, el compromiso se vuelve crítico. Un coche "amable" es aquel que es predecible, intuitivo y, sobre todo, que perdona los errores del conductor. Por el contrario, un coche "eficaz" busca la décima de segundo, la neutralidad absoluta y el paso por curva más rápido posible, aunque eso signifique que su conducción solo esté al alcance de unos pocos elegidos. Como dijo un sabio ingeniero a un piloto en una carrera de resistencia: “¿Quieres que sea rápido o que sea amable? Elige, porque no lo puedes tener todo”. Soluciones técnicas: Cuando la eficacia sacrifica la nobleza A lo largo de la historia, diversas marcas han tomado decisiones drásticas para ganar agilidad, cambiando por completo el carácter del vehículo: Estabilizadoras y el Peugeot 205 GTi: El 1.6 era la nobleza pura, pero para el 1.9 de 130 CV, Peugeot endureció la estabilizadora trasera para mejorar la motricidad y ayudar a entrar en curva. ¿El resultado? Un coche mucho más rápido, pero con una trasera "viva" que solo manos expertas sabían domar. La batalla corta del Mazda MX-5: Con solo 2,26 metros entre ejes, el primer Miata era una oda a la agilidad. Sin embargo, esa misma característica hacía que, al perder el tren trasero, las reacciones fueran eléctricas y extremadamente rápidas. Motor central y el momento de inercia: Coches como el Toyota MR2 (AW11) buscan concentrar el peso entre los ejes para girar como una peonza. Es eficaz porque reduce la inercia polar, pero tiene una pega: no avisa. Cuando el límite de adherencia se rompe, el giro es tan violento que es difícil de recuperar. Geometrías agresivas (Hyundai Coupé de la Copa): Para corregir un coche "morrón" o cabezón por un mal reparto de pesos, los mecánicos "cabreamos" el eje trasero subiendo la suspensión y dando divergencia (ruedas apuntando hacia fuera). El coche entra en la curva solo con pensarlo, pero la estabilidad lineal desaparece. Componentes que cambian el "feeling" No todo es arquitectura; a veces son los componentes periféricos los que dictan la sentencia: Diferenciales Autoblocantes: En el Ford Focus RS Mk1, el diferencial Quaife era la clave para transmitir 215 CV al suelo, pero a cambio, la dirección cobraba vida propia, dando tirones y exigiendo un esfuerzo físico constante al conductor. Suspensión Multibrazo vs. Eje Torsional: El Seat León de la Copa usaba el eje multibrazo de las versiones 4x4. Era infinitamente más preciso, pero carecía de la comunicación del eje torsional de serie. Iba sobre raíles hasta que, de repente, dejaba de ir. El "Lag" del Turbo: El primer Porsche 911 Turbo es el ejemplo perfecto de potencia eficaz pero criminal. Entrar en apoyo y que los 300 CV llegaran de golpe un segundo después de pisar el gas requería una fe ciega y manos de cirujano. Silentblocks y Uniball: Sustituir las gomas de la suspensión por rótulas metálicas elimina cualquier retraso en las órdenes del volante. Ganas una precisión milimétrica, pero conviertes el coche en una caja de ruidos donde sientes cada rugosidad del asfalto en tus riñones. La física no entiende de sentimientos: El Gradiente de Subviraje En ingeniería existe el concepto de gradiente de subviraje. Un coche amable tiene un gradiente positivo: cuanto más rápido vas, más tiende el coche a abrir la trayectoria. Es aburrido, pero seguro porque coincide con nuestro instinto de supervivencia. Cuando buscamos la eficacia total, llevamos ese gradiente a cero (neutralidad absoluta). El problema es que la neutralidad es como equilibrar un lápiz sobre su punta: mientras está vertical es perfecto, pero en cuanto se inclina un milímetro, se cae. En un coche, ese "caerse" es un trompo inesperado. Conclusión La eficacia es una droga. Una vez que pruebas un coche que obedece al milímetro, es difícil volver atrás. Sin embargo, la amabilidad es lo que nos da la confianza para disfrutar de una carretera de montaña. Mi consejo es claro: busca el equilibrio. No "cabrees" tanto tu coche que acabes por tenerle miedo, porque el día que le tengas miedo a tu coche, habrás perdido el placer de conducir. ¿Qué prefieres tú: un coche que te perdone la vida o uno que te regale la vuelta rápida? Déjalo en los comentarios.

Život sa mi nečakane zvrtol, a tak som sa rozhodla na čas opustiť New York. Vybrala som sa do otcovho rodného mestečka Laurel Lake, ktoré sa pýši titulom najpriateľskejšieho mesta. Oddych v príjemnej atmosfére som potrebovala ako soľ. Žiaľ, až také vrúcne privítanie ma nečakalo. Hneď po príchode som natrafila na Foxa Cassidyho, atraktívneho, no protivného suseda, ktorý mi namiesto pozdravu iba čosi odvrkol. Uznávam, v tej chvíli som držala v ruke jeho poštovú schránku, trošku zdemolovanú, keďže som ju vytiahla spod kolesa svojho auta. A bez jeho pomoci by som sa nedostala do domu, v ktorom som mala bývať, pretože kľúč od vchodových dverí sa mi zlomil v zámke. Skrátka, prikvitla som vo veľkom štýle! Ale uznajte, až taký nevrlý zasa nemusel byť. Časom som si všimla, že sa na mňa občas pozrie aj inak, než len nevraživo. Do Laurel Lake som však utiekla pred problémami, nie si vyrábať nové. A keby som sa zaplietla s mužom, ako je Fox, priam by som si koledovala o malér. Ibaže tento rok mi dal naozaj zabrať. Tak prečo by som sa v lete trocha nezabavila? Napokon, čo sa stane pri jazere, to pri ňom aj ostane.

Jesse James LeijaTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know San Antonio's very own Jesse James Leija. Jesse is a 2-time world champion boxer; having won the WBC belt in 1994 and the IBA belt in 1998. In this episode, we chat about growing up in San Antonio, and the series of events that led him to become a fighter. We also dive into a couple of his fights; especially his 4-fight series against Azuma Nelson. The Champ explains the difference between being a 'tough' fighter, and a 'smart' fighter, and then we jump into why his father was his trainer for Jesse's entire career. Along the way, Jesse James shares stories of hanging out with Sylvester Stallone, and even how he managed to sneak his way into a meeting with Muhammad Ali himself! I ask him about some of his other fights with Sugar Shane Mosely, Louie Espinoza, Arturo Gatti, and Oscar De La Hoya; before we trade opinions on the new spectacle of "boxing" involving Jake Paul, and what that is doing to the sport of boxing. Jesse James Leija is an advocate for mental health, started The Miracle League of San Antonio, owns Leija Boxing and Fitness gym, has the longest running charity golf tournament in San Antonio, and even started his own charitable foundation called The Leija Family Foundation. We touch on ALL of these things and more! Jesse James Leija has been a fixture in the city and is a name I have known for as far back as I can remember. It was an honor to speak with such a fantastic steward of my hometown. THIS IS EPISODE #500! THANK YOU, STREETWALKERS!!

Emisión del martes 27 de Enero de 2026 El lunes 26 de enero, la agencia de noticias Bloomberg informó que Pemex canceló un embarque de crudo con destino a Cuba. Iba a llegar a la isla antes de fin de mes a bordo del petrolero Swift Galaxy. Pero el cargamento dejó de figurar en el programa de exportación y Pemex y la Secretaría de Energía optaron por el silencio. Y ese silencio, para muchos, huele a presión, porque cuando una cancelación es técnica se explica y cuando es política se esconde "Deja que tus oídos te abran los ojos." #RuizHealyTimes #AbriendoLaConversación www.ruizhealytimes.com www.radioformula.mx

This week we cover a little bit of everything, including a brutal browser puzzle game, new tabletop RPG pickups, meditation meetups, comic books, and a short film with a great twist. REAL LIFE Ben kicks things off talking about the puzzle game that has completely taken over his brain, Enclose the Horse (https://enclose.horse/). The goal is simple but cruel: build the biggest possible enclosure using limited walls, while the horse avoids water, ignores diagonal movement, and sometimes teleports through portals. Steven shares some new tabletop RPG pickups including Orbital Blues from Soul Muppet Publishing and Star Borg by JP Coovert, plus updates from his latest Mutant Crawl Classics game where he's running as Judge. Ben also talks about attending a meditation Sangha he found through Reddit, sitting silently with about twenty people and ending the night with an unexpected cookie tailgate. FUTURE OR NOW In Future or Now, Ben brings up an issue of Absolute Batman where Batman fights white supremacists, leading Steven to attempt a recap that goes about as smoothly as you'd expect. The conversation shifts into Superman Smashes the Klan, a graphic novel Ben highly recommends for its powerful storytelling and accessibility. The discussion touches on why Superman works so well as a symbol against hate, along with how modern comics are tackling real-world themes more directly. A related video discussion can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ5ID_k_iBA. BOOK CLUB For Book Club, we talk about the short film Likewise, Olive from Omeleto (https://youtu.be/lwEssWpRrxg). Both Ben and Steven enjoyed it, even though Ben didn't see the twist coming while Steven guessed it halfway through knowing it was a time travel story. Either way, the film still lands emotionally and is well worth watching. Next week's reading is The Song of a Non-Human Intelligence by Mical Garcia, published January 12, 2026, available at Strange Horizons: https://strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fiction/the-song-of-a-non-human-intelligence/. The story explores cetacean communication, memory, and hope carried across oceans and time. That's it for this week. From fencing in digital horses to tabletop chaos, meditation cookies, thoughtful comics, and time travel feelings, it's a full episode. We'll see you next week for whales, non-human intelligence, and a whole lot of hope.

You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit -- Are you building your business with the end in mind? Whether you are ready to sell tomorrow or five years from now, understanding the mechanics of a successful exit is crucial for every founder. This week on The Exit, Steve sits down with Gregory Kovsky, President and CEO of IBA, the Pacific Northwest's oldest business brokerage firm. With over 25 years of experience and thousands of transactions under his belt, Gregory breaks down the complex game theory of M&A. We dive deep into the specific timing of when to sell, how to "run through the tape" to maximize your multiple, and why selling a business actually requires making four separate sales to four different stakeholders. If you want to avoid leaving money on the table or getting killed in due diligence, this episode is your playbook. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The "Four Sales" Theory: Why you aren't just selling to the buyer—you also have to sell the CPA, the Attorney, and the Bank. The Two Prime Windows: Why Jan-June and Labor Day-Thanksgiving are the golden seasons for M&A activity. Valuation Multiples 101: How to move the needle from a 4x to a 7x multiple by diminishing risk. The Fatal Mistake: Why failing to disclose material facts (like a competitor moving in across the street) is the fastest way to invite litigation. Pre-Exit Hygiene: Simple fixes—from website refreshes to cleaning up the "boneyard"—that create a strong first impression. The "Marathon" Mindset: Why you must keep your foot on the gas even during negotiations. Timestamps: (02:00) From veterinary clinics to M&A: Gregory's journey. (04:30) The 4 audiences you must convince to close a deal. (07:45) Why tax season dictates the best time to sell. (11:30) Tactical ways to increase your business valuation immediately.

  «Eliseo le envió un mensajero, diciendo: Ve y lávate siete veces en el Jordán, y tu carne será restaurada, y serás limpio. Y Naamán se enojó…» (2 Reyes 5:10-11, AMP) A menudo nos perdemos lo que Dios quiere hacer por nosotros, sólo porque Él no hace las cosas como nosotros creemos que debería hacerlas. Por ejemplo, nos ponemos a pensar en la manera en que va a sanarnos. Pensamos que enviará a algún predicador famoso a imponer sus manos sobre nosotros o que el Señor nos derribará con una descarga de Su poder. Pero cuando no lo hace así, nuestra fe decae y arruinamos lo que Él había planeado hacer. Eso fue lo que hizo Naamán. Él fue a Eliseo con la esperanza de ser sano de una manera en particular. Cuando no sucedió así, la Biblia nos dice que él se fue furioso. Lo que Eliseo le mandó que hiciera era fácil. Él tenía que sumergirse siete veces en el río Jordán. Naamán pudo haberlo hecho, pero ésa no fue la forma en que él pensó que sería sano. Este hombre creyó que Eliseo lo sanaría con sólo pasar sus manos sobre él, e invocar el Nombre del Señor. Naamán salió precipitadamente. Pero de no haber sido por uno de sus siervos que lo convenció de obedecer lo que Eliseo le había dicho, él hubiera perdido su sanidad. Yo era así. Deseaba tanto ver cosas espectaculares de parte de Dios que estaba perdiéndome las que Él tenía planeadas para mí. Cuando lo entendí, dejé de buscar cosas grandes y espectaculares, y sólo me limité a esperar que Dios cumpliera Su Palabra. Recuerdo una noche en la que fui a una campaña con el tobillo muy lastimado. El dolor era tan intenso que recorría desde mi pie hasta llegar a mis hombros. Pero fui con la esperanza de que Dios me sanara. Durante la alabanza ignoré ese dolor; cantaba y a alababa con los demás. Cuando empezó la predicación, tomé mi Biblia y me sumergí en la Palabra. Y como era de esperar, en algún momento del servicio recibí mi sanidad. No sé a qué hora sucedió. No sentí nada especial, ni vi destellos de luz alguna. Ni siquiera me di cuenta de que había sido sano, sino hasta después del servicio. Iba llegando a la puerta cuando pensé: ¡Gloria a Dios! Mi pie está bien. No dejes que tus propias ideas, acerca de cómo obrará el Señor, te quiten tu sanidad, tu liberación o tu prosperidad. Sólo confía en Dios y deja que Él haga las cosas como Él sabe hacerlas. Él actuará poderosamente en ti.

Durante algunos años, Imanol visitó a una doctora para tratar su vitiligo. Iba acompañado de su papá, que estaba un poco obsesionado con encontrar un tratamiento eficaz para su hijo. Él nunca entendió esa obsesión, porque esos cambios en la piel no le importaban demasiado, hasta que al llegar la adolescencia sí tomaron otro significado.

When entrepreneurs think about selling a business, they picture a clean formula: EBITDA × multiple, a "strategic buyer," and a smooth six-month process that ends with a big wire hitting their account.  What almost no one pictures is the real complexity behind an exit. The psychology, the timing, the identity shift, the risk calculus, and the reality that most founders aren't just selling a business… they're handing over a lifetime's work to someone else. That's the part nobody warns you about. Most owners obsess over valuation, but the real danger is preparing too late, choosing the wrong advisors, or stepping into negotiations with a fantasy number another broker promised them to win the listing.  And the cost of that mistake? Years lost, deals collapsing, and owners discovering too late that they should have fixed their accounting, diversified their customer base, or tightened operations years before approaching the market. And underneath all of it is an even deeper truth: exits aren't just financial events; they're emotional ones. If you don't know what your life looks like after the wire hits, you're at risk of waking up with more money than you've ever had… and less purpose than you've ever felt.  In this episode, I'm joined by Gregory Kovsky, president of IBA, one of the oldest and largest business brokerage firms in the Pacific Northwest. We dig into why the market is hotter than ever, how valuation actually works, the unique pitfalls sellers don't see coming, and why the real exit planning starts long before you think you're ready.   Guest Bio Gregory Kovsky is the President and CEO of IBA (International Business Associates), the Pacific Northwest's oldest and largest business brokerage firm.

(Día Internacional para la Erradicación de la Violencia contra la Mujer) «El marido le había pegado. Por la única habitación del bohío, caliente como horno, la persiguió, tirándola de los cabellos y machacándole la cabeza a puñetazos. »—... ¡Te voy a matar..., desvergonzada!... »El niño se agarraba a las piernas de su papá; no sabía hablar aún y pretendía evitarlo. Él veía a la mujer sangrando por la nariz. La sangre no le daba miedo, no, solamente deseos de llorar, de gritar mucho. De seguro mamá moriría si seguía sangrando. »Todo fue porque la mujer no vendió la leche de cabra, como él se lo mandara; al volver de las lomas, cuatro días después, no halló el dinero. Ella contó que se había cortado la leche; la verdad es que la bebió el niño. [Ella] prefirió no tener unas monedas a que la criatura sufriera hambre tanto tiempo. »[Él] le dijo después que se marchara. »—¡Te mataré si vuelves a esta casa! »La mujer estaba tirada en el piso de tierra; sangraba mucho y nada oía. Chepe, frenético, la arrastró hasta la carretera. Y se quedó allí, como muerta.... »[Pasaba por allí un extraño que] tenía agua para dos días más de camino, pero casi toda la gastó en rociar la frente de la mujer. La llevó hasta el bohío, dándole el brazo, y pensó en romper su camisa listada para limpiarla de sangre. »Chepe entró por el patio. »—¡Te dije que no quería verte más aquí, condenada! »Parece que no había visto al extraño.... »[Éste] le llamó la atención; pero [Chepe], medio loco, amenazó de nuevo a su víctima. Iba a pegarle ya. Entonces fue cuando se entabló la lucha entre los dos hombres. »El niño pequeñín, pequeñín, comenzó a gritar otra vez; ahora se envolvía en la falda de su mamá. »La lucha era silenciosa. No decían palabra. Sólo se oían los gritos del muchacho y las pisada violentas. »La mujer vio cómo [el extraño] ahogaba a Chepe: tenía los dedos engarfiados en el pescuezo de su marido. [Chepe] comenzó por cerrar los ojos; abría la boca y le subía la sangre al rostro. »Ella no supo qué sucedió, pero cerca, junto a la puerta, estaba la piedra; una piedra como lava, rugosa, casi negra, pesada. Sintió que le nacía una fuerza brutal. La alzó. Sonó seco el golpe. [El extraño] soltó el pescuezo del otro, luego dobló las rodillas, después abrió los brazos con amplitud y cayó de espaldas.... »La tierra del piso absorbía aquella sangre tan roja, tan abundante.... »La mujer... [salió corriendo]....»1 Este trágico relato procede de la pluma del autor y expresidente dominicano Juan Bosch. Es el primero de sus Cuentos escritos antes del exilio. ¡Qué triste que aún en el siglo veintiuno haya tantas personas como Chepe que, al escuchar o leer cuentos como este, se identifiquen con él! A puerta cerrada, maltratan físicamente a su pareja, conscientes de que casos como el suyo no se limitan al campo ni a personas iletradas, sino que incluyen las grandes metrópolis y a los privilegiados. Determinemos todos que, en lo que nos queda por vivir, jamás maltrataremos a nuestra pareja, sino que la amaremos y la cuidaremos como a nuestro propio cuerpo, tal como nos aconseja San Pablo,2 no sea que la induzcamos a matar a cualquiera que se interponga... o a querer matarnos a nosotros mismos.
