Celebrating Life at 52: Lyndon Taylor's Scorpio Squad European Birthday JauntWhen CEO and entrepreneur Lyndon Taylor turned 52 in November 2025, he proved that adventure has no age limit. Following his unforgettable Bangkok birthday celebration in 2024, Taylor and his Scorpio Squad—a group of November-born friends—embarked on a two-week European escapade that would redefine milestone celebrations. From dancing until dawn in Barcelona's legendary clubs to witnessing the Eiffel Tower's nightly sparkle and navigating London's historic streets, this journey showcased how intentional travel can transform birthday celebrations into life-affirming experiences.The Scorpio Squad tradition emerged from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Taylor missed celebrating his 50th birthday—a milestone many consider significant. Determined to make up for lost time, he connected with fellow Scorpio-born friends: one from Florida who kicks off Scorpio season on October 23rd, and another whose birthday falls on November 12th. Taylor himself celebrates on November 10th."I thought, hey, why not? I'm still here with good health. Let me go explore, make some memories, and have wonderful moments," Taylor explained during his appearance on Tripcast360. The group's chemistry stems from what Taylor describes as "vibrating on the right frequency"—a connection built over more than a decade of friendship.The tradition began with Bangkok in 2024, and for 2025, the squad set their sights on Europe. After Taylor's initial vote for Africa was vetoed due to vaccination concerns, the group settled on Spain, France, and England as their destinations, choosing Barcelona and Paris as anchor cities due to their proximity and reasonable pricing.Landing in Barcelona on November 8th, 2025, Taylor's European birthday celebration started with an auspicious welcome. His taxi driver, a single mother working in transport for 17 years, became an unexpected ambassador for the city. Their conversation flowed as if they were old friends, setting a warm tone for the entire trip.The group stayed at the Hampton by Hilton Barcelona Fira Gran, where front desk associate Victoria provided what Taylor calls a "cheat sheet"—a one-page guide covering train routes, city navigation, and budget-friendly activities. This personalized service exemplified the human connections that transformed the journey from a simple vacation into a meaningful cultural exchange.Barcelona's efficient public transportation system became the squad's primary mode of travel, with trains proving both affordable and convenient compared to taxis or rideshares. The decision to use public transit reflected the group's budget-conscious approach to European travel, where costs can quickly escalate.As Taylor's philosophy states: "Every day above ground is a gift." His 52nd birthday celebration across Europe proved that with gratitude, intention, and the right energy, that gift can be unwrapped anywhere in the world—one dance floor, one train ride, one magical moment at a time.Support the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Estamos repasando todo los rumores y fichajes de Inter Miami#InterMiami #Messi #InterMiamiCF 

Muchos municipios celebran ya el ensayo de las uvas para despedir el año, mientras las grandes ciudades preparan dispositivos especiales de seguridad ante las aglomeraciones de Nochevieja. También en países como Estados Unidos o Australia porque, aunque no hay amenazas concretas, algunas ciudades están en máxima alerta. En política, el PSOE celebra las conclusiones de la auditoría interna que niega financiación irregular, aunque cuestiona algunos gastos de José Luis Ábalos. El PP la cuestiona y cita a José Luis Ábalos el 8 de enero en la comisión del caso Koldo del Senado. Y en Cataluña, la Generalitat descarta que el virus de la peste porcina que ha causado la muerte de 29 jabalíes en Barcelona proceda de un laboratorio.

• Trayectoria y especialización: Fiscal de Seguridad Vial desde 2013 en la Fiscalía Provincial de Barcelona. La estructura de especialidades permite dedicar recursos a los casos más graves —fallecidos y lesionados graves— con seguimiento exhaustivo e intervención directa en todas las fases. • Funciones diarias: Asume conocimiento inmediato de todo siniestro mortal en Barcelona capital y provincia. Impulsa la instrucción para que avance con agilidad, sostiene la acusación en juicio oral cuando procede y vela en ejecución por los derechos de las víctimas y la exigencia de responsabilidad penal. • Responsabilidad y causalidad técnica: La atribución de responsabilidad exige primero saber qué ocurrió. La Policía Judicial de Tráfico resulta esencial para reconstruir los hechos mediante informes objetivos; a partir de esa base técnica se determina si existe o no responsabilidad penal. • Tecnología y EDR: El EDR (registrador de datos de evento) aporta variables técnicas del vehículo en los cinco segundos previos y hasta la colisión —velocidad, frenada, activaciones—. No es una “caja negra” autónoma, sino una prueba más que se integra con testificales, cámaras y estudios de velocidad para esclarecer la verdad. • Privacidad y derechos: Desde la óptica de la Fiscalía, los datos del EDR son objetivos y técnicos del vehículo, no datos personales del conductor, por lo que no afectan a derechos fundamentales como la intimidad. • Nueva movilidad en Barcelona/Cataluña: La expansión de los vehículos de movilidad personal incrementa la exposición al riesgo en vía urbana. Las reformas normativas en curso —p. ej., seguro obligatorio— buscan ordenar el fenómeno y garantizar el resarcimiento de víctimas cuando se producen siniestros.

This week the fellers chat the skin tight title race, Calafiori’s awkward absence, broke Barcelona behavior and the signing of the season!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let me start with a disclaimer—this isn't a political editorial. It's a conversation about ideas. Lessons from business, design, culture, and philosophy that might help us grow—individually and collectively. And if you disagree, email me at ConvoByDesign@Outlook.com. I welcome the debate. As this year closes, I'm feeling a mix of frustration and optimism. This moment feels chaotic—as does most of life lately—which is why I often end the show with, “rise above the chaos.” We can't eliminate it, but we can manage what's within our control. The Stoics told us that long ago: focus on what you can control, release what you can't, act with virtue, and let obstacles sharpen resilience. This essay is about taking back even a small amount of control through the work we do and the spaces we shape. The Problem with Trend-Driven Design This year, phrases and hashtags flew faster than ever—Quiet Luxury, Brat Green, Fridgescaping, Millennial Grey. Much like the “big, beautiful bill” language we've all heard tossed around in political discourse, design's buzzwords can distract from what actually matters. They generate attention, not meaning. They look good on social media, not necessarily in the lived experience of a home, workplace, or public square. So instead of centering our design conversations around fleeting edits, let's pivot toward the global innovations that are transforming the built world in ways that truly matter. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Real Innovation Worth Talking About Across the globe, designers, architects, and researchers are developing ideas that transcend buzz. These are the concepts with longevity—the ones shaping smart, resilient, human-centered spaces: Biophilic Design, rooted in the work of Edward O. Wilson, Erich Fromm, and Japanese shinrin-yoku, continues to reframe our relationship with nature. Net-Zero Architecture, pioneered in Canada, Germany, and Australia, redefines building performance through projects like Seattle's Bullitt Center and Colorado's RMI Innovation Center. Smart Homes and Invisible Tech, building on early Asian innovation, hiding circuitry and functionality behind seamless design powered by Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems. Prefab and Modular Construction, originally exemplified by structures like the Crystal Palace and the Sydney Opera House, now reimagined by firms such as Plant Prefab. Passive House Design, born in Germany but rapidly shaping U.S. projects in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. And the list goes on: Self-Healing Concrete by Hendrik Marius Jonkers Guggenheim Abu Dhabi by Frank Gehry Bët-bi Museum in Senegal by Mariam Issoufou Powerhouse Parramatta in Australia Pujiang Viewing Platform in China by MVRDV Landscape and biophilic approaches—Wabi-Sabi gardening, edimental gardens, climate-adaptive landscapes, and indoor biophilia—are redefining how we engage with natural systems in daily life. Even infrastructure has become a site of innovation: CopenHill/Amager Bakke, Denmark's waste-to-energy plant with a ski slope Urban Sequoias by SOM—skyscrapers designed as carbon sinks 3D-printed timber in Germany, Finland, and France This is the work that deserves our attention—not the color of the week on TikTok. Rethinking the Shelter Space For years I described architecture as a language, design as a dialect, and landscape as the narrative. Mies van der Rohe famously introduced the concept of architecture as language. It caught on, and then the bandwagon effect took over. But today, the metaphor feels insufficient—especially for the shelter space, where people spend their lives, raise families, work, heal, and age. The shelter space isn't like a retail store or restaurant, where design is often intended for those who pass through briefly while the people who labor there navigate the leftover space. The shelter space must serve those who inhabit it deeply and continuously. And that shifts the conversation. Design begins with the usual questions—purpose, function, users, goals, budget. But these questions don't define design. They only outline it. There is no universal purpose of architecture or design, no single philosophy, no singular “right” answer. The shelter space varies as widely as the people living within it. So instead of treating architecture and design as technical processes, we should approach them philosophically. A Philosophical Framework for Design Stoicism offers clarity: Accept that budget overruns and changes will occur. Respect the expertise of the designer you hired. Invest in authenticity rather than dupes. Create environments that support health—clean air, clean water, noise reduction, resilience. Utilitarianism reminds us that choices have consequences. If the design decisions you make are based on influencer content instead of expertise, the result is no surprise. And now, a new framework is emerging that could transform our shared spaces entirely. Sensorial Urbanism: Designing the City We Actually Feel One of the most compelling movements emerging globally is Sensorial Urbanism—a shift from focusing on how the city looks to how it feels. It's neuroscience, phenomenology, and inclusive design rolled into a multi-sensory toolkit. Five Key Sensory Principles Soundscaping Water features masking traffic. Acoustic pavilions. Designed sound gardens. Paris' Le Cylindre Sonore. Soundscape parks in Barcelona and Berlin. Smellscaping Native flowers, herbs, and aromatic trees restoring identity—especially critical after disasters like wildfires. Kate McLean's smellwalks map a city's olfactory signature. Tactile Design Materials that invite touch and respond to temperature—stone, wood, water—connecting inhabitants to place. Visual Quietness Reducing signage and visual clutter, as seen in Drachten, Netherlands, creates calmer, more intuitive environments. Multisensory Inclusivity Design that accommodates neurodiversity, PTSD, aging, and accessibility through tactile paving, sound buffers, and scent markers. Why It Matters Because cities didn't always feel this overwhelming. Because design wasn't always rushed. Because quality of life shouldn't be compromised for aesthetics. Sensorial Urbanism reconnects us with spaces that are restorative, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. A city is not just a picture—it is an experience. The Takeaway for 2026 Rising Above the Chaos: Lessons from 2025 for a Smarter 2026 HED (3-sentence summary): As 2025 closes, the design and architecture world has experienced unprecedented chaos and rapid trend cycles. In this episode, Soundman reflects on lessons from business, culture, and global innovation, emphasizing resilience, purposeful design, and human-centered spaces. From Stoic philosophy to sensorial urbanism, this conversation offers guidance for navigating the next year with clarity and intentionality. DEK (Expanded description): Twenty twenty-five tested the design industry's patience, creativity, and adaptability. In this reflective episode, we explore the pitfalls of trend-driven design, the enduring value of service, and the innovations shaping architecture globally — from net-zero buildings to multisensory urbanism. With examples ranging from TimberTech decking to Pacific Sales' trade programs, we examine how designers can reclaim control, prioritize meaningful work, and create spaces that heal, inspire, and endure. A philosophical lens, practical insights, and actionable guidance make this a must-listen for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Outline of Show Topics: Introduction & Context Reflection on the chaotic year of 2025 in design and architecture. Disclaimer: this is a philosophical conversation, not a political editorial. Invitation for audience engagement via email. Trends vs. Meaningful Design Critique of buzzwords like “quiet luxury” and “millennial gray bookshelf wealth.” Emphasis on global innovation over social media-driven trends. The gap between American design influence and international innovation. Global Innovations in Architecture & Design Biophilic design and its philosophical roots. Net-zero buildings: Bullitt Center (Seattle), RMI Innovation Center (Colorado). Smart homes, modular construction, and passive house adoption in the U.S. vs. abroad. Focus on Service & Professional Support Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home: Pro Rewards program and exceptional service. TimberTech: innovation in sustainable synthetic decking. Importance of performance, durability, and client-focused solutions. Philosophical Approach to Design Architecture as experience, not just a visual language. Stoicism, utilitarianism, and mindfulness applied to design. Sensorial urbanism: engaging all five senses in public and private spaces. Emerging Global Examples of Innovation Self-healing concrete (Henrik Marius Junkers), Copenhill (Denmark). 3D printed timber in Germany, Finland, France. Climate-adaptive landscapes, Wabi-sabi gardening, inclusive urban design. Moving Beyond Social Media Trends Rejecting influencer-driven design priorities. Returning to performance, resilience, and quality of life. Practical guidance for designers in all regions, including overlooked U.S. markets.

Higher Ed AV PodcastEpisode 337The Long-Awaited Special Guest EpisodeIn this special episode of the Higher Ed AV Podcast, Joe welcomes a long-awaited guest, his wife, Amy, for a candid, hilarious conversation that pulls back the curtain on their life behind the scenes. Together, they reflect on the sacrifices, support, and real-world tradeoffs that shaped Joe's career journey, balancing ambition, family, and the grind of leadership. The episode closes on a powerful note as Amy shares a message about grace and contentment, reminding listeners they don't have to build their lives alone.The conversation opens with pure “Way household” energy, Joe and Amy playfully spar over his signature intro, the pressure of being on video, and what it's like stepping into a space where thousands of listeners feel familiar, even if Amy would rather stay behind the scenes. Joe admits he rarely scripts episodes, but tries this time… only to watch it immediately go off the rails in the best way. It's light, authentic, and sets the tone for an episode that feels more like a front-porch conversation than a formal interview.From there, they move into the real stuff: their blended family, the behind-the-curtain reality of Joe's career trajectory, and the seasons where Amy carried extra weight at home while Joe pursued degrees and chased the next calling. Amy speaks candidly about what that looked like day-to-day with kids, schedules, dinner, the emotional load while Joe acknowledges the cost and names something many leaders forget. Career growth is rarely an individual accomplishment… it's often built on unseen support, shared sacrifice, and a partner willing to hold the rope while you climb.They also take a fun detour through “conference life” as Amy describes being dropped into the pro AV world with trips to Barcelona and Bangkok, rooftop bars, industry personalities, and the moments that made her realize this community is both nerdy and genuinely relational. But her sharpest insight comes as an outsider looking in… Titles don't impress her, character does. That perspective becomes a mirror for Joe's imposter syndrome and constant drive for “more,” and it lands as a timely lesson for leaders: not everyone is chasing the same ladder, and success isn't always promotion, it's alignment with what matters most.By the end, this episode stops being “Joe finally got Amy on the mic” and becomes an enduring a reminder that the best leadership is anchored before it's amplified. The laughs are real, but so is the message… Ambition without connection will always feel hollow, and achievement without gratitude will never feel like enough. Whether you're building a career, a team, or a legacy, the takeaway is simple, don't do it alone. Let faith, community, and the people who truly know you keep you grounded, so the life you're building is one you can actually live.Connect with Joe Way:Web: https://www.josiahway.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/josiahwayX (Formerly Twitter): https://www.x.com/josiahwayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josiahway

As 2025 comes to a close, we're stepping back from individual destinations to reflect on how we traveled this year, and how that is starting to shift everything for us. From revisiting familiar places in new ways to discovering hidden regions, connecting deeply with locals, and saying yes to moments we almost skipped, this episode is about travel moments and experiences that stay with you long after the trip ends. Instead of chasing checklists, we focused on connection, curiosity, and slowing down, and those choices led to some of our most meaningful travel moments yet. Some links are affiliate links.

Xavi Ginesta founded Voxel in 1998, a Barcelona-based company that became a global leader in electronic invoicing and payments for the travel industry. Voxel was recognized as the third best workplace in Spain by the Best Workplaces ranking in 2019 and 2020. Xavi’s professional journey has always been closely intertwined with a personal commitment to fostering a more conscious worldview. This dedication led him to become CEO of the Spanish chapter of Conscious Capitalism in 2019 and to co-author the book Humanitas with Sergi Torres in 2022. That same year, he co-founded The Festival of Consciousness, a landmark event that ultimately inspired his decision to sell Voxel in 2024 and fully align his personal and professional paths through the creation of the Humanitas Foundation. The Humanitas Foundation supports initiatives rooted in transformational philanthropy. Unlike traditional impact philanthropy, which seeks to solve systemic problems without altering the system itself, transformational philanthropy addresses the underlying mindset that gives rise to those problems—aiming for deep inner impact as a catalyst for systemic outer change.

What does it take to build something incredible from nothing—and then know when it's time to step back? In this episode, Casey sits down with Natalie Batlle, founder of Juno House Club, the women's membership club in Barcelona that has become a sanctuary for ambitious, soulful, and creative women from around the world. Natalie shares her journey from being a first-time founder building something fast without a playbook to transitioning out of the CEO role into a more strategic position as Chairwoman, and how she's learning to embrace this season of soul-searching and reflection. This is a conversation about the evolution of leadership, the gift of creating space for others even when you can't always enjoy it in the same way yourself, and what it means to honour both the vision and the journey. Natalie opens up about the founder's paradox—operating something so intensely that you can't fully experience it—and the bittersweet beauty of watching your creation take on a life of its own. They explore why not every founder is meant to be the operator, the discomfort of stepping into reflection when you're built to do, and the importance of celebrating what already exists before chasing what's next. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why building something doesn't mean you're meant to operate it—and how to recognize the difference The reality of being a first-time founder learning to be CEO in real-time without a playbook What it means to transition from CEO to Chairwoman and step back from daily operations The founder's paradox: creating something so magical you can't fully experience it yourself Why soul-searching seasons can feel more uncomfortable than the intensity of building How intentional design and thoughtfulness attract the exact community you envision The importance of pausing to celebrate what you've built before visioning what's next What it means to trust that your creation is strong enough to evolve beyond you Resources & Next Steps: Connect with Natalie and learn more about Juno House Club Follow Natalie on Substack (yes, she started one!!).

Original Release Date: November 13, 2025Live from Morgan Stanley's European Tech, Media and Telecom Conference in Barcelona, our roundtable of analysts discusses tech disruptions and datacenter growth, and how Europe factors in.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Paul Walsh: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Paul Walsh, Morgan Stanley's European Head of Research Product. Today we return to my conversation with Adam Wood. Head of European Technology and Payments, Emmet Kelly, Head of European Telco and Data Centers, and Lee Simpson, Head of European Technology. We were live on stage at Morgan Stanley's 25th TMT Europe conference. We had so much to discuss around the themes of AI enablers, semiconductors, and telcos. So, we are back with a concluding episode on tech disruption and data center investments. It's Thursday the 13th of November at 8am in Barcelona. After speaking with the panel about the U.S. being overweight AI enablers, and the pockets of opportunity in Europe, I wanted to ask them about AI disruption, which has been a key theme here in Europe. I started by asking Adam how he was thinking about this theme. Adam Wood: It's fascinating to see this year how we've gone in most of those sectors to how positive can GenAI be for these companies? How well are they going to monetize the opportunities? How much are they going to take advantage internally to take their own margins up? To flipping in the second half of the year, mainly to, how disruptive are they going to be? And how on earth are they going to fend off these challenges? Paul Walsh: And I think that speaks to the extent to which, as a theme, this has really, you know, built momentum. Adam Wood: Absolutely. And I mean, look, I think the first point, you know, that you made is absolutely correct – that it's very difficult to disprove this. It's going to take time for that to happen. It's impossible to do in the short term. I think the other issue is that what we've seen is – if we look at the revenues of some of the companies, you know, and huge investments going in there. And investors can clearly see the benefit of GenAI. And so investors are right to ask the question, well, where's the revenue for these businesses? You know, where are we seeing it in info services or in IT services, or in enterprise software. And the reality is today, you know, we're not seeing it. And it's hard for analysts to point to evidence that – well, no, here's the revenue base, here's the benefit that's coming through. And so, investors naturally flip to, well, if there's no benefit, then surely, we should focus on the risk. So, I think we totally understand, you know, why people are focused on the negative side of things today. I think there are differences between the sub-sectors. I mean, I think if we look, you know, at IT services, first of all, from an investor point of view, I think that's been pretty well placed in the losers' buckets and people are most concerned about that sub-sector… Paul Walsh: Something you and the global team have written a lot about. Adam Wood: Yeah, we've written about, you know, the risk of disruption in that space, the need for those companies to invest, and then the challenges they face. But I mean, if we just keep it very, very simplistic. If Gen AI is a technology that, you know, displaces labor to any extent – companies that have played labor arbitrage and provide labor for the last 20 - 25 years, you know, they're going to have to make changes to their business model. So, I think that's understandable. And they're going to have to demonstrate how they can change and invest and produce a business model that addresses those concerns. I'd probably put info services in the middle. But the challenge in that space is you have real identifiable companies that have emerged, that have a revenue base and that are challenging a subset of the products of those businesses. So again, it's perfectly understandable that investors would worry. In that context, it's not a potential threat on the horizon. It's a real threat that exists today against certainly their businesses. I think software is probably the most interesting. I'd put it in the kind of final bucket where I actually believe… Well, I think first of all, we certainly wouldn't take the view that there's no risk of disruption and things aren't going to change. Clearly that is going to be the case. I think what we'd want to do though is we'd want to continue to use frameworks that we've used historically to think about how software companies differentiate themselves, what the barriers to entry are. We don't think we need to throw all of those things away just because we have GenAI, this new set of capabilities. And I think investors will come back most easily to that space. Paul Walsh: Emmet, you talked a little bit there before about the fact that you haven't seen a huge amount of progress or additional insight from the telco space around AI; how AI is diffusing across the space. Do you get any discussions around disruption as it relates to telco space? Emmet Kelly: Very, very little. I think the biggest threat that telcos do see is – it is from the hyperscalers. So, if I look at and separate the B2C market out from the B2B, the telcos are still extremely dominant in the B2C space, clearly. But on the B2B space, the hyperscalers have come in on the cloud side, and if you look at their market share, they're very, very dominant in cloud – certainly from a wholesale perspective. So, if you look at the cloud market shares of the big three hyperscalers in Europe, this number is courtesy of my colleague George Webb. He said it's roughly 85 percent; that's how much they have of the cloud space today. The telcos, what they're doing is they're actually reselling the hyperscale service under the telco brand name. But we don't see much really in terms of the pure kind of AI disruption, but there are concerns definitely within the telco space that the hyperscalers might try and move from the B2B space into the B2C space at some stage. And whether it's through virtual networks, cloudified networks, to try and get into the B2C space that way. Paul Walsh: Understood. And Lee maybe less about disruption, but certainly adoption, some insights from your side around adoption across the tech hardware space? Lee Simpson: Sure. I think, you know, it's always seen that are enabling the AI move, but, but there is adoption inside semis companies as well, and I think I'd point to design flow. So, if you look at the design guys, they're embracing the agentic system thing really quickly and they're putting forward this capability of an agent engineer, so like a digital engineer. And it – I guess we've got to get this right. It is going to enable a faster time to market for the design flow on a chip. So, if you have that design flow time, that time to market. So, you're creating double the value there for the client. Do you share that 50-50 with them? So, the challenge is going to be exactly as Adam was saying, how do you monetize this stuff? So, this is kind of the struggle that we're seeing in adoption. Paul Walsh: And Emmet, let's move to you on data centers. I mean, there are just some incredible numbers that we've seen emerging, as it relates to the hyperscaler investment that we're seeing in building out the infrastructure. I know data centers is something that you have focused tremendously on in your research, bringing our global perspectives together. Obviously, Europe sits within that. And there is a market here in Europe that might be more challenged. But I'm interested to understand how you're thinking about framing the whole data center story? Implications for Europe. Do European companies feed off some of that U.S. hyperscaler CapEx? How should we be thinking about that through the European lens? Emmet Kelly: Yeah, absolutely. So, big question, Paul. What… Paul Walsh: We've got a few minutes! Emmet Kelly: We've got a few minutes. What I would say is there was a great paper that came out from Harvard just two weeks ago, and they were looking at the scale of data center investments in the United States. And clearly the U.S. economy is ticking along very, very nicely at the moment. But this Harvard paper concluded that if you take out data center investments, U.S. economic growth today is actually zero. Paul Walsh: Wow. Emmet Kelly: That is how big the data center investments are. And what we've said in our research very clearly is if you want to build a megawatt of data center capacity that's going to cost you roughly $35 million today. Let's put that number out there. 35 million. Roughly, I'd say 25… Well, 20 to 25 million of that goes into the chips. But what's really interesting is the other remaining $10 million per megawatt, and I like to call that the picks and shovels of data centers; and I'm very convinced there is no bubble in that area whatsoever.So, what's in that area? Firstly, the first building block of a data center is finding a powered land bank. And this is a big thing that private equity is doing at the moment. So, find some real estate that's close to a mass population that's got a good fiber connection. Probably needs a little bit of water, but most importantly needs some power. And the demand for that is still infinite at the moment. Then beyond that, you've got the construction angle and there's a very big shortage of labor today to build the shells of these data centers. Then the third layer is the likes of capital goods, and there are serious supply bottlenecks there as well.And I could go on and on, but roughly that first $10 million, there's no bubble there. I'm very, very sure of that. Paul Walsh: And we conducted some extensive survey work recently as part of your analysis into the global data center market. You've sort of touched on a few of the gating factors that the industry has to contend with. That survey work was done on the operators and the supply chain, as it relates to data center build out. What were the key conclusions from that? Emmet Kelly: Well, the key conclusion was there is a shortage of power for these data centers, and… Paul Walsh: Which I think… Which is a sort of known-known, to some extent. Emmet Kelly: it is a known-known, but it's not just about the availability of power, it's the availability of green power. And it's also the price of power is a very big factor as well because energy is roughly 40 to 45 percent of the operating cost of running a data center. So, it's very, very important. And of course, that's another area where Europe doesn't screen very well.I was looking at statistics just last week on the countries that have got the highest power prices in the world. And unsurprisingly, it came out as UK, Ireland, Germany, and that's three of our big five data center markets. But when I looked at our data center stats at the beginning of the year, to put a bit of context into where we are…Paul Walsh: In Europe… Emmet Kelly: In Europe versus the rest. So, at the end of [20]24, the U.S. data center market had 35 gigawatts of data center capacity. But that grew last year at a clip of 30 percent. China had a data center bank of roughly 22 gigawatts, but that had grown at a rate of just 10 percent. And that was because of the chip issue. And then Europe has capacity, or had capacity at the end of last year, roughly 7 to 8 gigawatts, and that had grown at a rate of 10 percent. Now, the reason for that is because the three big data center markets in Europe are called FLAP-D. So, it's Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin. We had to put an acronym on it. So, Flap-D. Good news. I'm sitting with the tech guys. They've got even more acronyms than I do, in their sector, so well done them. Lee Simpson: Nothing beats FLAP-D. Paul Walsh: Yes. Emmet Kelly: It's quite an achievement. But what is interesting is three of the big five markets in Europe are constrained. So, Frankfurt, post the Ukraine conflict. Ireland, because in Ireland, an incredible statistic is data centers are using 25 percent of the Irish power grid. Compared to a global average of 3 percent.Now I'm from Dublin, and data centers are running into conflict with industry, with housing estates. Data centers are using 45 percent of the Dublin grid, 45. So, there's a moratorium in building data centers there. And then Amsterdam has the classic semi moratorium space because it's a small country with a very high population. So, three of our five markets are constrained in Europe. What is interesting is it started with the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The UK has made great strides at attracting data center money and AI capital into the UK and the current Prime Minister continues to do that. So, the UK has definitely gone; moved from the middle lane into the fast lane. And then Macron in France. He hosted an AI summit back in February and he attracted over a 100 billion euros of AI and data center commitments. Paul Walsh: And I think if we added up, as per the research that we published a few months ago, Europe's announced over 350 billion euros, in proposed investments around AI. Emmet Kelly: Yeah, absolutely. It's a good stat. Now where people can get a little bit cynical is they can say a couple of things. Firstly, it's now over a year since the Mario Draghi report came out. And what's changed since? Absolutely nothing, unfortunately. And secondly, when I look at powering AI, I like to compare Europe to what's happening in the United States. I mean, the U.S. is giving access to nuclear power to AI. It started with the three Mile Island… Paul Walsh: Yeah. The nuclear renaissance is… Emmet Kelly: Nuclear Renaissance is absolutely huge. Now, what's underappreciated is actually Europe has got a massive nuclear power bank. It's right up there. But unfortunately, we're decommissioning some of our nuclear power around Europe, so we're going the wrong way from that perspective. Whereas President Trump is opening up the nuclear power to AI tech companies and data centers. Then over in the States we also have gas and turbines. That's a very, very big growth area and we're not quite on top of that here in Europe. So, looking at this year, I have a feeling that the Americans will probably increase their data center capacity somewhere between – it's incredible – somewhere between 35 and 50 percent. And I think in Europe we're probably looking at something like 10 percent again. Paul Walsh: Okay. Understood. Emmet Kelly: So, we're growing in Europe, but we're way, way behind as a starting point. And it feels like the others are pulling away. The other big change I'd highlight is the Chinese are really going to accelerate their data center growth this year as well. They've got their act together and you'll see them heading probably towards 30 gigs of capacity by the end of next year. Paul Walsh: Alright, we're out of time. The TMT Edge is alive and kicking in Europe. I want to thank Emmett, Lee and Adam for their time and I just want to wish everybody a great day today.

quadern.En: Marina observed Jordi taking notes and making sketches in his notebook.Ca: Inspirada, se li va acostar per preguntar-li sobre les seves impressions del parc.En: Inspired, she approached

comfortable.Ca: —Hola, sóc en Jordi.En: "Hi, I'm Jordi.Ca: Treballo en art —va respondre ell amb un to més suau—.En: I work in art," he responded in a softer tone.Ca: Crec que aquest lloc sempre té

podia parlar lliurement de la seva passió.En: Jordi found in Marina an unexpected camaraderie, someone he could freely talk to about his passion.Ca: Van continuar passejant pel parc, intercanviant històries i somnis.En: They continued to stroll through the park, exchanging stories and dreams.Ca: En aquell moment, en Jordi va saber que havia trobat la seva musa.En: At that moment, Jordi knew he had found his muse.Ca: Mentrestant, la Marina, fascinada per l'art i la visió de Jordi, va adonar-se que havia trobat un angle únic per al seu article.En: Meanwhile, Marina, fascinated by Jordi's art and vision, realized she had found a unique angle for her article.Ca: Quan ja estava començant a posar-se el sol, en Jordi va fer una decisió valenta.En: As the sun began to set, Jordi made a brave decision.Ca: Va mirar la Marina als ulls, ple d'emoció i esperança.En: He looked into Marina's eyes, full of emotion and hope.Ca: —Marina, t'agradaria venir amb mi a les celebracions de Cap d'Any aquesta nit?En: "Marina, would you like to come with me to the New Year's Eve celebrations tonight?Ca: Podríem veure els focs artificials a la platja.En: We could watch the fireworks at the beach.Ca: Seria un bonic final per a la teva història, no creus?En: It would be a beautiful end for your story, don't you think?"Ca: La Marina va somriure, il·luminant-se com les llums de Nadal al seu voltant.En: Marina smiled, lighting up like the Christmas lights around her.Ca: Acceptar la invitació era una decisió fàcil.En: Accepting the invitation was an easy decision.Ca: Aquella nit, els focs artificials van il·luminar el cel de Barcelona mentre en Jordi i la Marina, envoltats per la música i l'alegria de la ciutat, van començar la seva pròpia història.En: That night, the fireworks illuminated the sky over Barcelona as Jordi and Marina, surrounded by the city's music and joy, began their own story.Ca: Aquesta trobada al Park Güell havia transformat no només les seves vides

Comenzaremos el programa discutiendo la actualidad. La primera noticia trata sobre la sorprendente decisión de The Economist de nombrar a Siria país del año. La segunda noticia trata sobre el gasto navideño, que este año va a aumentar en toda la Unión Europea. El aumento del gasto, por desgracia, no es debido a un exuberante espíritu de navidad, sino que viene causado por la inflación y por normativas de seguridad más estrictas para los juguetes. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un estudio que indica que mucha gente usa la IA para apoyo emocional e interacción social. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa de hoy rindiendo homenaje a Rob Reiner, el aclamado actor y director, que fue asesinado en su casa de Los Ángeles junto a su esposa, Michele Singer Reiner. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, The Past Perfect Indicative - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de un atraco ocurrido en el Banco Central de Barcelona en el año 1981. Los atracadores secuestraron a 300 personas durante 37 horas. Incluso hubo la hipótesis de que podía ser una trama política vinculada al golpe de Estado del 23 febrero, ocurrido unos meses antes. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Marear la perdiz. La usaremos para hablar de la Ley de Dependencia en España, aprobada en 2006. Esta ley ofrece ayudas a personas con dificultades de autonomía por edad, enfermedad o discapacidad. Pero la realidad es muy distinta ya que la burocracia bloquea estas ayudas. A esta situación la llamamos el limbo de la dependencia.

We're joined by Professor Michael Neuman to talk about his book Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies.  We chat about why trees are important models for infrastructure development, the important lessons of Barcelona for the world, and why infrastructure is lately seen as a monetary asset instead of a public good.  This week we're going back in time to Episode 392 from July of 2022.  I really loved this book and hope that more people would read it.  It's an academic title but Professor Neuman really shared a lot of new ideas and thoughts in here.  And I love the discussion about trees as beings way wiser than us humans…. Also I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  We might have something for you next week but I'm not going to guarantee it.  We do have some AMAZING things coming next year so stay tuned! +++ Get the show ad free on Patreon!
