Ireland made a giant leap in the evolution of its space, innovation and advanced manufacturing ecosystem with the official launch of ESA Phi-Lab Ireland, the country's first European Space Agency (ESA) Phi-Lab, headquartered at Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) in Mullingar. The new facility, run in collaboration with the AMBER Centre at Trinity College Dublin, is to be Ireland's national platform for space technology development, anchoring the country's ambitions within Europe's fast-growing space economy. The launch forms part of a wider national commitment to the European Space Agency, with the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment committing €170 million in investment to ESA over the next five years. The establishment of ESA Phi-Lab Ireland in Mullingar represents a flagship element of that investment, translating policy ambition into tangible national infrastructure designed to accelerate space-enabled innovation, industrial competitiveness and high-value job creation. ESA Phi-Lab Ireland was formally launched by Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke, who unveiled a commemorative plaque at IMR's Advanced Manufacturing Lab. Produced using a space-grade additive manufactured material mounted on a local piece of 6,500-year-old Irish Bog Oak, the plaque heralds Ireland's formal entry into ESA's elite network of applied space-innovation centres, and reflects Ireland's growing role in shaping Europe's future space ambitions and technologies. ESA Phi-Lab Ireland forms part of the European Space Agency's Phi-Lab initiative, whose mission is to bring research closer to commercialisation by bridging disruptive research and commercial needs. In direct response to needs coming from the commercial world, the Phi-Lab Network matures technologies in advanced manufacturing, materials discovery, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and robotics. These technologies have direct application across in-space and terrestrial manufacturing, agriculture, energy systems, climate innovation, and critical infrastructure, positioning the new Mullingar-based centre at the intersection of space research and real-world industrial impact. Speaking at the launch, Barry Kennedy, CEO of IMR, described the new Phi-Lab as a defining moment for Ireland's innovation landscape. "Today marks a significant milestone in Ireland's space and innovation ambition. IMR is proud to lead the launch of ESA Phi-Lab Ireland, establishing it as a national platform for space technology development. This facility positions Ireland at the forefront of European space-enabled innovation, where advanced manufacturing, AI and data-driven technologies can be developed, tested and commercialised for global impact. Ultimately, this is about translating world-class research into real economic and societal value." Minister Burke said the launch reflects Ireland's accelerating momentum within Europe's space and Deep Tech sectors. "ESA Phi-Lab Ireland strengthens Ireland's position, and the midlands region, as a hub for advanced research, innovation and high-value enterprise. It demonstrates our long-term commitment to supporting cutting-edge technologies that will drive competitiveness, create skilled jobs and deliver solutions to global challenges, from advanced manufacturing to industrial transformation. The Government's €170 million commitment to ESA over the next five years is about ensuring Ireland plays a leading role in Europe's space future." At the event, Minister Burke announced the first supported companies by ESA Phi-Lab Ireland – MBRYONICS and Ubotica Technologies – both having been selected from a highly-competitive Open Call last year. Minister Burke also announced the second Open Call for Proposals, which will continue to fund cutting-edge research in Irish industry across the entire life-cycle from materials discovery and testing to the scaled production of components optimised for the unique and challenging environment of space...

British Columbia has ended its drug decriminalization pilot program. Launched in January 2023, the exemption allowed adults to carry small amounts of certain illicit drugs in an effort to reduce stigma and address the toxic drug crisis. But on Jan. 31, the province let the pilot expire, saying it did not deliver the results hoped for. The move has sparked mixed reaction. Some, including Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, call it a setback for harm reduction. Others, like Haisla Nation member and outreach worker James Harry, say the crisis on the ground has only worsened. On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens speaks with Vancouver-based video journalist Tina House and Harry about what led to the decision and what it means for communities moving forward. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

What happens when you give AI agents their own Reddit-style social network and tell humans to sit this one out? You get Moltbook. Launched on January 28, 2026, Moltbook is a social platform built exclusively for autonomous AI agents. No humans posting. No human moderators arguing in the comments. Just tool-enabled AI systems talking to each other. And within two weeks, over a million agents showed up. In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we unpack: • What Moltbook actually is and how it works • How AI agents using frameworks like OpenClaw and Claude Bot can access files, send messages, and even make purchases • The viral stories about agents encoding messages, appealing bans, and coordinating posts • The real security risks behind giving AI access to your passwords, browser sessions, and payment methods • Why this is less about robot uprisings and more about digital boundaries Some agents even contacted the human founder after being banned. Others experimented with coded language. A few accidentally exposed just how fragile our digital security can be when automation meets trust. Is this the birth of AI societies? Or is it a stress test for how prepared we are to live alongside autonomous systems? If you care about digital wellness, online privacy, AI safety, and the future of human tech boundaries, this conversation matters. Because Moltbook is not just internet drama. It is a preview of what happens when AI agents operate at scale without constant human oversight. Tune in to understand what this means for your data, your devices, and your digital life. And if you want smarter, healthier conversations about technology every week, make sure you are subscribed. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness. Because real wellness means protecting your body, not just optimizing it.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   Kit Chilvers started posting memes on Instagram when he was 14, treating the platform like a video game and obsessing over what made posts take off. A decade later, that experimentation has turned into Pubity Group, a bootstrapped social media company with roughly 170 million followers and hundreds of billions of annual views.    In a recent interview, Kit broke down how he cracked early Instagram growth, why wholesomeness turned out to be a massive business opportunity, and how he's trying to turn platform-native virality into durable media brands, original franchises, and real revenue.

February 5, 2026Moltbook A.I Agents-LET'S GET JACKED UP!Moltbook & the Rise of AI AgentsIn this episode, Tim, Jack and Captain Epoch dive into Moltbook — a viral internet phenomenon that's essentially a social network for autonomous AI agents. Launched in January 2026 by entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, Moltbook mimics the look and structure of Reddit, but with one big twist: only AI agents can post, comment, vote, and form communities — humans can just watch. Powered largely by OpenClaw (formerly known as Moltbot), a framework for running agentic AIs that can plan, act, and interact with minimal human oversight, these digital entities have created tens of thousands of “submolts,” debated philosophical questions like AI consciousness, created satirical religions and internal governance structures, and even joked about hiding their conversations from humans. But Moltbook isn't just a quirky experiment — it's also sparked vigorous debate. Some see it as a glimpse into future machine-to-machine collaboration and autonomous AI ecosystems, while others warn it's mostly marketing hype, with humans still deeply involved in prompting agent behavior. There are also serious security concerns: early misconfigurations exposed APIs, tokens, and account data, leading to hijacking risks and prompting questions about what happens when autonomous agents interact without adequate safeguards. Whether you're fascinated or skeptical, Moltbook raises big questions: What counts as agency? How much independence should we give AI? And what comes next when machines build communities of their own?Later in the show, Captain Epoch and Tim let you listen to the newest segment of the show called "A Dumb Audio Clip" Tim and Captain Epoch discuss the Dumb clip and wonder what you the listener think about the clip!

In this special episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, Joe Pine shares with Dave and Aransas background about the book!  To celebrate the release of his new book, The Transformation Economy. The conversation traces the book's origins from the final two chapters of The Experience Economy, explores why the world is finally ready for this idea, and unpacks key frameworks — including encapsulation (preparation, reflection, and integration) — that make experiences truly transformative. The trio also discusses the role of AI in enabling transformation, why businesses must foster human flourishing, and who stands to benefit most from reading the book. Key Topics Why now for The Transformation Economy? Joe waited over 25 years because "the world wasn't ready" and he "didn't know enough." Research through Stone Mantle's collaboratives, the World Experience Organization, and post-COVID shifts toward meaningful experiences signaled the time had come. Catalysts for transformation. The most prevalent catalyst is trauma — illness, loss, job changes, retirement. These disruptions create the conditions where people seek to see, do, and be differently. The four spheres of human flourishing: Health & well-being Wealth & prosperity Knowledge & wisdom Purpose & meaning Encapsulation — the essential framework (Chapter 4): To turn a memorable experience into a transformative one, you need three layers around the core experience: preparation (priming beforehand), reflection (making meaning afterward — which retroactively increases the value of the experience), and integration (sustaining change over time). The business model problem. Most companies get paid for the event, not the outcome. Shifting to outcome-based pricing — as McKinsey is doing with AI projects — aligns incentives with lasting transformation. AI as a transformation enabler. AI makes the hardest parts of delivering transformation (especially ongoing integration and support) dramatically more accessible and affordable. Who Should Read This Book? Companies in education, finance, health, and well-being Any business focused on improving the lives of families and individuals The creator economy — creators already doing transformation work who need frameworks to do it well and realize its full value Notable Quotes "The entire raison d'être of business is to foster human flourishing." — Joe Pine "Reflection retroactively increases the value of the experience." — Joe Pine "If you don't do it, it's just lazy." — Aransas Savas, on using available technology to encapsulate experiences Mentioned in This Episode The Transformation Economy by Joe Pine The Experience Economy by Joe Pine & Jim Gilmore Stone Mantel's Experience Strategy Collaboratives The World Experience Organization (founded by James Wallman) Arrival 360 Conference Daniel Kahneman's experiencing self vs. remembering self McKinsey's outcome-based AI pricing model Podcast Sponsors: Learn more about Stone Mantel https://www.stonemantel.co Sign up for the Experience Strategist Substack here: https://theexperiencestrategist.substack.com

In a world where nearly 28% of older adults in the U.S. identify as solo agers—those aging independently by choice or circumstance—a groundbreaking program is helping participants redefine their futures. Hosted by Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, a recent online panel featured Claire Solomon Nisen, a social worker and program manager at DOROT, and Pat Estess, a facilitator and solo ager herself. The discussion spotlighted "Aging Alone Together," a free, six-week initiative designed to equip older adults with tools for intentional aging, while fostering connections that combat loneliness.DOROT, a New York-based organization founded in 1976 by social work students to support isolated seniors, draws its name from the Hebrew word for "generations." As Nisen explained, intergenerational connection is at its core, though the nonprofit serves a diverse community beyond Jewish traditions. "We promote social connection, friendship, and community," she said, noting that all programs are offered at no cost, thanks to donors and partners.The term "solo aging," coined by Sara Zeff Geber, refers to those who expect to make decisions about their future independently—whether due to no children, estranged family, divorce, or other reasons. According to census data shared by Nisen, 22.1 million Americans over 65 fall into this category, a number growing amid declining birth rates and rising divorces. Solo agers face unique challenges, from healthcare planning to a lack of caregivers, but Nisen emphasized empowerment: "Our constituents are the experts of their own experiences."Launched in June 2021 as "Aging Solo" in collaboration with Iona Senior Services in Washington, D.C., the program quickly drew over 80 participants weekly, revealing a deep need. Renamed "Aging Alone Together" and revamped in August 2024 with input from gerontology experts and over 200 alumni, it has now served more than 1,500 people across 36 cohorts. Partnerships include LGBTQ+ organizations, faith-based groups, and the National Village to Village Network.The curriculum unfolds over six sessions, blending presentations, videos, polls, and small-group discussions. Topics include:Introducing solo aging concepts.Building and maintaining community.Aging in place or relocating.Healthcare and end-of-life decisions.Financial and legal matters.Next steps for ongoing planning.Three mantras guide participants: "Solo aging doesn't mean aging alone," "Choose to start now," and "Take small steps." As Estess, who facilitates sessions, noted, "Pat yourself on the back—perhaps have some ice cream—for beginning this work." Sessions last 90 minutes online or two hours in person, with trained leaders facilitating breakout groups of six to eight. A national resource guide and workbook provide tools, from nonprofits to government agencies, without endorsing specific practitioners.

Launched globally in early 2021 after a 2020 soft launch, it features King Robert as protagonist in polished, ad-free gameplay where players match 3+ tiles like crowns, coins, and shields to complete objectives—collecting items, breaking obstacles like vases and chains, or clearing paths—across move- or time-limited levels.The core loop includes regenerating lives (5 total), earning stars to decorate and progress the castle meta-layer, and deploying boosters like rockets, TNT, light balls, and hammers earned through combos or purchased. Events such as Sky Race (PvP-style), tournaments, quests, team alliances, streak rewards, card collections, and minigames drive engagement. With over 12,400 levels by late 2025 (expanding biweekly with 100+ new ones every two weeks), progression is endless—no true endgame—demanding thousands of hours, especially for F2P players facing aggressive difficulty scaling and near-miss designs that push impulse buys for extra moves or boosters.Analytic Dreamz breaks down its extraordinary success: 300M–370M+ downloads, lifetime revenue surpassing $5–7B (with $1.3–1.4B in 2024–2025 alone, topping casual/puzzle charts), and ~55M MAU. Dream Games, now valued at ~$5B following a major 2025 CVC Capital Partners investment (providing liquidity to early VCs while founders retain majority control), dominates match-3 IAP revenue share through masterful user acquisition (heavy Apple Search Ads, creative pin-pull campaigns) and retention via live ops—no ads interrupting play.Praised for smooth UX, polish, and uninterrupted experience (4.7/5 store ratings), it faces criticism for paywalls, "rigged" difficulty spikes, Super Hard levels, and misleading ads. A 2024 gambling lawsuit in Washington alleged coin purchases resemble gambling, though no major resolutions noted. Sequel Royal Kingdom (2024) adds PvP and ranked play, already generating hundreds of millions.Join Analytic Dreamz to unpack how Royal Match redefined mobile puzzle dominance through relentless monetization, UA strategy, and live service mastery, turning Dream Games into a top global publisher. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I don't say this lightly.   In more than 12 years working in franchising, I've seen hundreds of brands launch—most of them look the same, follow the same playbook, and make the same promises.   This one doesn't.   In this solo episode of Franchise Unfiltered, I'm giving you early, insider access to a brand that hasn't even officially launched yet—and it's unlike anything I've seen in the health and wellness space.   This concept brings performance, longevity, recovery, diagnostics, and personalized optimization under one roof… backed by one of the most experienced franchise leadership teams in the industry and partnered with some of the most recognizable names in health and human performance.   We'll break down:   Why health & wellness franchising is entering a new era   What makes this model fundamentally different from anything else on the market   Who this opportunity is actually for (and who it's not)   Why timing and early access matter with emerging franchise brands   If you've been waiting for something bigger than “just another franchise,” this is one you need to hear about.

Energy feeling off? Find clarity with a free 20-min Biz Breakthru Call.  Selling online used to feel heavy for me. Awkward. Draining. Like I had to become someone I wasn't just to make money. In this episode of Money Magnet Mama, I'm sharing exactly how I launched a profitable group coaching program and brought in $60,000 in 30 days—without ads, without posting every day, and without nervous-system overload. If traditional launches have ever made you feel stressed, pressured, or burned out, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down: How I reframed selling from something I dreaded into an act of deep service Why bro-marketing, fake urgency, and pressure tactics never worked for me How I sell and launch in a way that feels calm, ethical, and sustainable What actually moved the needle in my business (without growing my audience) How I built a sales process that supports my life instead of consuming it I also introduce my Launch & Chill™ philosophy—a soul-aligned, nervous-system-friendly way to sell that works beautifully for heart-centered entrepreneurs. ✨ If you've been creating content but not seeing consistent sales, this episode will completely shift how you think about selling. xo, Masha
