Today's Headlines: The fragile Gaza ceasefire is officially over after 18 days, with Israel launching new airstrikes in Rafah after claiming Hamas fired rockets and mishandled the return of hostage remains. Hamas still holds the bodies of 13 hostages, and the stalled recovery effort is blocking the next phase of negotiations — including disarmament and postwar governance. Meanwhile, the U.S. carried out deadly strikes on boats off Colombia's coast, killing 14 people; Mexico's president condemned the attack as a breach of international law. Back home, Trump's legal team is appealing his 34 felony convictions from the hush money case, arguing the trial violated his supposed immunity. A federal judge extended an order blocking the administration from firing federal employees during the shutdown, which continues to drag on. ICE is seeing a wave of leadership purges as the White House pushes for higher deportation numbers, and Trump just greenlit over 1.5 million acres of Alaska's Arctic refuge for oil drilling, reversing Biden-era protections and alarming conservationists. Globally, the U.N. warned that the world will “inevitably” overshoot the 1.5°C warming target, while Bill Gates called for a “strategic pivot” away from limiting warming toward reducing poverty and disease instead. Hurricane Melissa slammed Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm — one of the strongest in Atlantic history — and Trump's Truth Social is launching Truth Predict, a crypto betting platform for everything from sports to elections, because of course it is.

He has had a long fruitful career in greenkeeping to get to where he is today which includes a number of years working in Asia.From first mowing a green at the age of 10, Dion was exposed to the trade of greenkeeping through his father. Growing up around greenkeeping didn't mean it would be Dion's chosen field, turns out he had a second significant vocation, rugby league! Dion received a contract through the Cronulla Sharks rugby league team in his early years, and through that, he was also able to work as a greenkeeper at the local Cronulla Golf Club. Dion eventually left the greenkeeping industry to pursue a career in rugby league for a while before a return to the industry at Ashgrove Golf Club in Brisbane. It was from here, and on the eve of being married, that Dion would get an opportunity to manage the large 54 hole golf facility of Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort in Malaysia. A number of years, a couple of clubs, and two children later, Dion and his family were to move back to Australia. Dion went through a few different work places in Australia before arriving and leading the team as Superintendent at Redland Bay Golf Club. He and the course team have been working through a greens replacement program to TifEagle putting surfaces as the club continues to improve the quality of their golf offering.Join Dion and myself for this sizable yarn into the depths of Redland Bay Golf Club, his greenkeeping career, the ups and downs of life, his structured and methodical approach to golf course management, and just listening to a great person from two fantastic industries greenkeeping and football!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - thegolfinggreenkeeper@gmail.comPeople and places mentioned in this podcast:Redland Bay Golf ClubCraigieburn - Wilmott Golf ClubOcean Shores Country ClubMeadowbrook Golf ClubRiverlakes Golf ClubCronulla SharksAndrew Ettingshausen (ET) - WikiCronulla Golf ClubRoyal Pines ResortAshgrove Golf ClubTunjong Puteri Golf ResortISO 9001Glenmarie Golf & Country ClubEP.44 Keeper of the Greens - Mick PascoeMt Warren Park Golf Club

In this episode, Hayley Mears sits down with Shakira Dickinson, the founder of Hair Candy, an award-winning hair extensions business with three salons across Queensland and an e-commerce education brand. Shakira shares her 18-year journey from working out of a spare bedroom to building one of Australia's leading hair extension empires.She opens up about the power of consistency, adapting to change, and learning on the job — even when faced with challenges like team turnover, economic downturns, and the constant evolution of digital marketing.From surviving the chaos of COVID-19 to mastering Meta ads and embracing AI in creative development, Shakira's story is a masterclass in entrepreneurial resilience and reinvention.✂️ Highlights from the EpisodeThe 18-Year Journey of Hair CandyShakira shares how she started Hair Candy at just 20 years old, working from home and slowly building her client base. What began as a single-person operation has grown into three salons across Brisbane and the Gold Coast — plus a thriving wholesale and education business.Consistency, Persistence & GrowthShakira believes consistency is the real key to success — choosing one thing, sticking to it, and growing within it rather than constantly chasing new ideas. She reveals how this focus allowed Hair Candy to expand sustainably, even during uncertain times.Adapting to Change in Business & MarketingFrom industry shifts to the rise of rent-a-chair models and changing consumer behaviour, Shakira explains how she keeps Hair Candy relevant. She also discusses how authenticity on social media now outperforms polished marketing.Mastering Meta AdsAs the upcoming speaker for Salon Forum 2026, Shakira will share her talk “Meta Moves” — diving into how salon owners can take control of their business growth through Meta advertising. She discusses how ads can act like a “tap” for client flow — and why personally managing ad campaigns can make all the difference.AI, Canva & Creative InnovationShakira and her team use AI and Canva to streamline their creative process, from quick content editing to adding realistic elements to brand visuals. She highlights how AI is reshaping creative work for salon businesses by making design faster and more intuitive.Overcoming Setbacks & Rebuilding LeadershipShakira reflects on one of her biggest challenges — when her entire team left during COVID-19. Instead of folding, she rebuilt stronger, using the moment to refine her leadership style and align her team with Hair Candy's long-term vision.Learning by DoingShakira embodies the philosophy that “everything is figureoutable.” She shares how on-the-job learning and failure have been her best teachers — and how embracing uncertainty has allowed her to evolve alongside her business.

4. Climate Change and Risk Management Strategies. This final section addresses climate change and risk management strategies. Koalas are highly vulnerable to fires because they are dependent on eucalyptus trees. The arrival of El Niño is associated with hot and dry conditions, increasing fire danger. A major concern is that climate change is rapidly increasing the incidence, frequency, and severity of fires. Even in non-high-risk seasons, fires can occur due to factors like arson. The expansion of civilization into bushland areas—particularly in urban interface areas (bushy outskirts of cities)—presents a unique risk. These areas often have high populations with low fire preparedness and experience. Australia, being a very fire-prone country, tends to allow large park fires to take their course. The country also utilizes preventative burnings (a practice learned from Indigenous Australians) to reduce the fuel load. However, this practice needs to be carried out delicately and on a small scale, paying attention to local ecology, rather than through broad-scale burnings. 1915 QUEENSLAND

1. A Future in Flames: Worldwide Wildfire Phenomenon and Historical Context. Danielle Clode's book, A Future in Flames, addresses wildfires (or bushfires in Australia) as a worldwide phenomenon challenging civilization in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The discussion emphasizes that bushfires are not solely a product of civilization but were present historically. Early European explorers, such as Captain Cook in 1770, frequently reported seeing fires along the Australian coast, often interpreting them as indicators of people ashore. Once explorers went ashore, some observed really intense fires that were clearly out of control. The sources highlight the long history of fire use by humans, focusing on Indigenous Australians. Prior to European settlement, Indigenous people used fire in various ways, including hunting, clearing movement passages, signaling, defense, and crucially, land management. They used fire selectively to stimulate new growth and promote grass for grazing prey. This land management system, perfected over more than 60,000 years, is known as "fire stick farming" and is integral to the Australian ecology. In contrast, early European settlers failed to apply these lessons well, often using fire indiscriminately merely to clear forests. While the land clearance supported the economy by regenerating grass for sheep, the uncontrolled fires became a serious problem relatively early in the colony's history. By 1851, settlers realized the severity of the issue, exemplified by events like Black Thursday (February 5, 1851), which featured extreme heat (47°C or 120+°F). 1864 QUEENSLAND

In northeast Australia, the capture of the legendary saltwater crocodile “Old Faithful” is causing protest. The animal, which was once made famous by Steve Irwin, was considered a safety risk by the authorities and brought to a government facility. However, traditional landowners speak of a “wrongful arrest” and accuse the Queensland government of faulty testing, lack of transparency and disregard for indigenous rights. - Im Nordosten Australiens sorgt die Gefangennahme des legendären Salzwasserkrokodils „Old Faithful“ für Protest. Das Tier, das einst durch Steve Irwin bekannt wurde, wurde von den Behörden als Sicherheitsrisiko eingestuft und in eine staatliche Einrichtung gebracht.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial are joined by Patrick Coyne to discuss his investment journey from Liverpool to Australia, including strategies for remote property investment. Dissatisfied with his construction job in Liverpool, Patrick and his best friend relocated to Australia, where he built a successful career across Brisbane, Sydney, and Darwin, eventually founding his own company. A family emergency arising from his mother's cancer diagnosis prompted him to return to Liverpool and prioritise family over his flourishing business. Back in the UK, Patrick shifted his focus to property investment in Australia, seeking financial stability and growth. To manage investing from afar, he enlisted a buyer's agent, enabling him to navigate market complexities and secure a property in Townsville, Queensland, which increased in value significantly within a year. Despite logistical challenges, professional guidance and careful planning allowed him to turn obstacles into successful outcomes.

What do decades of adventure, jumping off moving trains in rural Australia, and raising children adopted from Russia have in common? They are all part of Laura Dilts's remarkable travel journey, which she shares in this captivating episode of Stamped: Global Travel Stories.Laura's travel adventures began with family road trips exploring America's national parks while her nuclear physicist father conducted research at Los Alamos. Her childhood home regularly welcomed international visitors through her mother's cultural organisation, creating a foundation of global curiosity that would shape her entire life. By sixteen, Laura had negotiated with her parents to visit Greece independently, working to fund half the trip herself, the first of many solo adventures that would take her across continents.Perhaps most fascinating is Laura's nine-month Australian exchange programme, where she lived with 36 different host families across rural South Australia and Queensland. She shares hilarious stories of working on farms, encountering wildlife, and even having to jump from a moving train that “only slowed down like an escalator” at her rural stop. Her descriptions of Kangaroo Island and watching hundreds of penguins return to shore at dusk reveal hidden gems most travellers never experience.As Laura's life evolved, so did her travel experiences, from exchange programmes to adoption journeys in Moscow, where she discovered cold so intense that sunny days were worse than cloudy ones. Now entering a new chapter as an empty-nester, Laura approaches travel with a refreshing philosophy: “Life's too short to wait.” After losing a friend unexpectedly at 56, she is embracing solo adventures while prioritising connections with friends worldwide, proving that at any age, the world remains full of possibilities for those willing to explore it.⭐️ Guest - Laura Dilts

Meteorology Bureau Abandons Cyclone Forecasts Amidst Extreme Australian Weather Jeremy Zakis Jeremy Zakis reports that the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has stopped issuing cyclone forecasts for Western Australia for the first time in 50 years. The BOM admitted its models are failing due to unexpected ocean temperatures and upper atmosphere warming, resulting in unpredictable forecasts. New South Wales has experienced highly erratic weather, including the "hottest October ever" and three seasons—winter's end, spring, and the start of summer—in just two days. The warm temperatures are driving residents to the beaches and pools. Although recent rain has provided abundant food for wildlife, Jeremy warns that the currently lush grass will quickly become tinder dry, creating a severe bushfire hazard if lightning storms arrive before more rain. 1952 QUEENSLAND

Australia's housing shortage isn't just about planning approvals or red tape — it's about money. In this episode, commercial finance expert Jean-Pierre Gortan, Joint Founder of Simplicity Loans & Advisory, joins Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates to unpack the financial bottlenecks preventing new homes from being built, even in areas crying out for supply.Jean-Pierre draws on more than two decades of experience structuring complex, multi-lender deals to explain why so many developments are stuck in limbo. From Parramatta to Penrith, he reveals how post-COVID construction cost blowouts, tighter lending standards, and broken feasibility models have made many projects impossible to fund — even with demand at record highs.They discuss how non-bank lenders are filling the void left by traditional banks, why build-to-rent projects still struggle to stack up in high-cost cities like Sydney, and what state governments are doing through rezoning, TOD corridors, and density incentives to unlock supply. Jean-Pierre also shares insights into how the market differs between NSW, Victoria, and Queensland, and what policy shifts could finally make housing delivery viable again.This is a candid, ground-level look at the economics of housing supply — and a reminder that Australia's housing crisis won't be solved by planning reforms alone, but by rethinking how development is financed.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction02:12 — How COVID Cost Blowouts Crushed Feasibility03:51 — When Projects Don't Stack Up Financially05:22 — Why Government Fixes Aren't Solving Supply15:38 — Non-Bank Lenders: Who's Funding Projects Now18:02 — Developers Adapting to a Tougher Market21:32 — How Finance Shapes Future Housing Supply25:53 — Residential vs Commercial: Shared Challenges26:27 — Why Banks Pulled Back from Construction Loans28:18 — Can Government Programs Reignite Building?29:48 — Pre-Sales Pressure: A Hidden Project Killer31:10 — Quality, Oversight, and Building Regulation Costs32:39 — Red Tape and Rezoning: The Slow Path to Supply36:40 –  Transport Oriented Development (TOD) and LMR Zones43:08 — Property Dumbo: Overconfidence in Feasibility44:45 — Final Thoughts: Funding and the Road AheadLinksJean-Pierre Gortan (website bio)LMR ViewerAbout the GuestJean-Pierre Gortan is the Joint Founder of Simplicity Loans & Advisory and one of Australia's most respected figures in commercial finance.

Twenty-five years ago, a landmark paper warned that the world's coral reefs could vanish by 2050. Now, halfway to that projected date (and amid ever more frequent coral bleaching events), that grim prediction feels increasingly close to reality. What is the current state of Earth's coral reefs, and what would happen to our planetary home without them?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the marine biologist who made this landmark prediction, for an update on the health of coral reefs and the primary ecological stressors driving their decline. Drawing on decades of research, he explains the mechanisms of coral bleaching, the critical biodiversity hotspots that reefs create, and the implications for human populations that depend on these ecosystems. Ove also touches on the emotional impact of witnessing the loss of reefs for the scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying them. How are human actions increasingly putting pressure on the very ecosystems that support more than one billion people? What would happen to the broader health of the oceans if reefs were to disappear entirely? And most of all, what changes can both individuals and institutions make today to support the health of these vital ecosystems – and in-turn, the well-being of the entire Earth? (Conversation recorded on August 6th, 2025)     About Ove Hoegh-Guldberg: Ove Hoegh-Guldberg is Professor of Marine Studies at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia,  as well as the Deputy Director of the Centre for Excellence in Coral Reef Studies. Over the past 10 years, he was also the Founding Director of the Global Change Institute. In addition to this work, Ove conceived and led the scientific XL-Catlin Seaview Survey which has surveyed over 1000 km of coral reefs across 25 countries and captured and analysed over 1 million survey images of coral reefs.  Ove's research focuses on the impacts of global change on marine ecosystems, and he is one of the most cited authors on climate change. He has also been a dedicated communicator of the threat posed by ocean warming and acidification to marine ecosystems, being one of the first scientists to identify the serious threat posed by climate change for coral reefs in a landmark paper published in 1999, which predicted the loss of coral reefs by 2050.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

En 1858, un jeune mousse français de 14 ans, Narcisse Pelletier, embarque à bord du Saint-Paul, un navire parti de Marseille vers l'Extrême-Orient. L'expédition transporte des marchandises et des émigrants italiens, mais au large de la Papouasie, le voyage tourne au drame. Le navire s'échoue sur les récifs de la côte nord-est de l'Australie, dans une zone aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de cap York, l'une des régions les plus isolées du continent.Les survivants, dont Narcisse, tentent d'atteindre la terre ferme à bord d'une chaloupe. Après plusieurs jours d'errance, épuisés et affamés, ils trouvent un point d'eau. Le capitaine, parti chercher de l'aide avec quelques hommes, ordonne au jeune garçon de monter la garde… mais ne revient jamais. Seul, abandonné sur une plage australienne, Narcisse Pelletier est convaincu qu'il va mourir.C'est alors qu'un groupe d'Aborigènes Uutaalnganu, peuple du nord du Queensland, le découvre. Loin de l'hostilité que craignait le jeune Français, ils le recueillent, le nourrissent et finissent par l'adopter. Ils le baptisent Amglo, et il devient, au fil des années, l'un des leurs.Narcisse apprend à chasser, à pêcher, à fabriquer des outils en pierre et en bois. Il se couvre de peinture rituelle, participe aux cérémonies, parle la langue locale, et épouse les coutumes du clan. Pendant dix-sept ans, il vit totalement intégré à cette communauté, oubliant jusqu'à ses origines européennes. Il n'est plus un marin perdu : il est un homme du bush.Mais en 1875, son destin bascule une seconde fois. Un navire britannique, le John Bell, longe la côte. Les marins remarquent un homme nu, à la peau claire, vivant parmi les autochtones. Narcisse est “retrouvé” et conduit à Sydney. Là, les autorités françaises apprennent son identité : le garçon disparu dix-sept ans plus tôt a survécu. Pourtant, le retour à la “civilisation” est un choc terrible. Il ne parle presque plus français, fuit la foule et le bruit des villes.Revenu à son port natal de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Narcisse Pelletier mène une existence discrète, hanté par le souvenir de son autre famille. Jusqu'à sa mort, en 1894, il restera tiraillé entre deux mondes — celui qu'il avait quitté et celui qu'il avait aimé. Son histoire, à mi-chemin entre le naufrage et la renaissance, demeure l'un des récits les plus émouvants de l'aventure humaine. Hébergé par Acast.
