Chaz's wife, Jennifer handled the Top 10 list this morning. She put together her list of the worst Thanksgiving sides, but not without some controversy.

Had Martin Nolan studied engineering instead of accounting, his career might never have intersected with icons like Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, or Michael Jackson. Born and raised in Ireland, Nolan's journey to becoming CFO of Julien's Auctions, the world's leading entertainment auction house, was as unique as it was unpredictable. His path to New York City—and ultimately to Julien's—was made possible by a Green Card lottery, not an accounting degree.Upon arriving in New York in the early 1990s, Nolan worked at the front desk of the New York Hilton, immersing himself in American culture. Through determination and networking, he ascended into the finance world, becoming a stockbroker and investment advisor at firms like JP Morgan Chase and Merrill Lynch. Yet, when he met Darren Julien in 2004, everything changed. Julien was running a Johnny Cash auction and, as Nolan explains, “He was a marketing guy who needed a finance guy, so I joined him.”The following year, Nolan resigned from Merrill Lynch to join Julien's Auctions as CFO—a decision met with surprise from his Wall Street colleagues, who questioned the risks. But Nolan saw no difference between auction halls and stock exchanges, where buyers and sellers converge. By 2010, he became an equal partner in the business, embracing the risks and rewards of the auction world.Today, with Julien's at the forefront of entertainment memorabilia, Nolan's journey highlights a unique blend of finance acumen, adaptability, and an enduring sense of adventure—a career truly shaped by chance and daring choices.

Are our sentencing laws too harsh or too soft? Any opinion offered depends on who you ask. International research shows people tend to think sentencing is more lenient than it actually is. Judge Martin Nolan is no stranger to controversy over some of his decisions. Social media users frequently criticise the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court judge for opting to fine some offenders while jailing others. Barristers take a more nuanced view and say much of the criticism is ill-informed. In this episode Legal Affairs Correspondent, Mary Carolan, and Senior Counsel, Tony McGillicuddy, aim to demystify the process. Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast.

*) Russia aims to take Mariupol as part of eastern Ukraine onslaught Russian troops are planning to take control of Mariupol as part of an anticipated onslaught across eastern Ukraine. But the Ukrainian army has insisted that "the defence of Mariupol continues". In an address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a fresh plea to his allies for more weapons to boost the defence of the besieged city. He said: “we are not getting as much as we need to end this war sooner.” *) UN: Ukraine children, women need more protection Top officials at the United Nations have called for a probe into violence against women and the protection of children in the Ukraine conflict. Sima Bahous, director of the UN women's agency, told a meeting of the Security Council in New York that the organisation is hearing of increasing rape and sexual violence incidients. She said the “allegations must be independently investigated to ensure justice and accountability”. It is not clear if the Security Council, on which Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member, would agree to any investigation. *) Shehbaz Sharif elected Pakistan's new prime minister Pakistan's parliament has elected Shehbaz Sharif the country's new prime minister after the ouster of Imran Khan. Sharif was elected with 174 votes in his favour after more than 100 lawmakers from Khan's party walked out of the National Assembly in protest. Sharif, the brother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, was the only contender. *) US monitoring rise in rights abuses in India US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the United States is monitoring what he described as a rise in human rights abuses in India by some officials. He made the remark in a joint press briefing with US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austinand India's foreign minister and defence ministers. It came days after US Representative Ilhan Omar questioned the alleged reluctance of the US to criticise Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on human rights. And, finally... *) Cobain's guitar in Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video to be auctioned The guitar Kurt Cobain rocked out with in Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video is expected to sell for up to $800,000. The 1969 blue Fender is arguably one of the most famous in rock, said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions. The guitar will come to the auction block next month, Nolan said, calling it “one of Kurt Cobain's favourite guitars of all time.”

A keel-laying ceremony took place at Finnish shipyard Meyer Turku to officially mark the start of the revolutionary ship's physical construction, with Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku senior executives and teams in attendance.The keel laying, a longstanding maritime tradition, involved a 3,000-ton crane lifting a massive steel block that is placed into the new ship's building dock and on top of freshly minted coins, which represent the shipyard and cruise line. The coins are meant to bring luck during construction, and they will be retrieved and given to Icon's captain and crew before setting sail.Icon will set sail next year with the latest innovations and signature features Royal Caribbean's teams have imagined and reimagined in bold, new ways, including a shift toward cleaner energy.

Combining LNG with a lineup of the cruise line's proven applications, such as shore power connection and waste heat recovery systems that repurpose excess energy to help power the ship's operations, Icon will be the next important step in Royal Caribbean's journey toward a clean-energy future.Signed, sealed, delivered… Celebrity Beyond.

Exactly 20 years ago – on 5 April 2002 – the first two ships in the fleet were christened A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNA in Rostock. A-ROSA celebrates the anniversary on board its ships with an A-ROSA United Event, where guests celebrate together with the crew until late at night.With the introduction of the A-ROSA brand, river cruises were offered for the first time to a younger clientele – detached from conventions, casual, active and full of highlights on board and ashore. The company has always remained true to this concept.Review of the christening of A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNAAfter a construction period of only twelve months in the Neptun Yard Rostock, the two innovative river ships A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNA received their official names during a double christening ceremony on 5th April 2002 in Rostock's city harbour.Godmother of A-ROSA BELLA was the 18-year-old The Honourable Anna Sterling, daughter of Lord Sterling of Plaistow, Chairman of P&O Princess Cruises. A-ROSA DONNA was christened by Anja Mager, 19 years old and an office management trainee with Seetours in Rostock.After an experience ship tour and reception in the coffee house on board, the guests were invited to the dinner “La BELLA DONNA” with live entertainment in the Nikolaikirche Rostock.Immediately after the christening, the two 860-ton ships left the Rostock overseas port expertly packed and secured on a barge for the Danube delta.History of A-ROSAThe A-ROSA brand was founded in 2000 by Seetours, the German offshoot of P&O Princess Cruises. Shortly after the deployment of the first two Danube ships, the company was taken over by Deutsche Seereederei in 2003 and the Danube fleet was expanded by two more ships. The Rhône was introduced as a new trade lane in 2005, on which A-ROSA STELLA and LUNA have been cruising ever since.In 2009, the first cruises on the Rhine started and the financial investor Waterland bought A-ROSA. After three classic Rhine ships, two Rhine-Main-Danube ships were put into service in 2012 and 2014 with the A-ROSA SILVA and FLORA. In 2013, Jörg Eichler came on board as managing director and introduced the premium all-inclusive fare and family cruises with Kids Club from 2014.With the Seine, the second French cruising area was added to the portfolio in 2017. After the takeover by the British financial investor Duke Street in 2018, the A-ROSA ALVA set sail on Portugal's Douro.In the 20th anniversary year of 2022, a total of twelve A-ROSA ships will be sailing in five European destinations. In May 2022, the A-ROSA SENA, the most innovative ship in the fleet, will join them, offering more space for the A-ROSA concept – spacious balcony cabins, a dedicated Family Area with Kids Club, several restaurants and bars as well as a particularly large wellness and fitness area. Thanks to a hybrid drive system with battery storage, it is the most climate-friendly cruise ship on Europe's rivers. A-ROSA also presented its new orientation from 2023, where even more quality and individuality will be offered with a PremiumPLUS range.And more...

This week on "TheWrap-Up," we're joined by four up-and-coming actors -- Rhoemi Smith, Natalee Linez, Harley Harrison Yanoff and Lee Doud -- to discuss how they pivoted to other things during the pandemic (but never gave up on acting). Plus, NFTs are the big craze these days and you bet Hollywood wants in on it. The question is -- how? Oanda senior analyst Ed Moya and Martin Nolan, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Julien's Auctions, help us figure it out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Had Martin Nolan studied engineering instead of accounting, his career path would likely never have entered the worlds of Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, and Michael Jackson. Still, Irish-born Nolan is quick to point out that it was a Green Card lottery, not his accounting degree, that facilitated his relocation to New York City, where he would meet and ultimately team up with Darren Julien of Julien’s Auctions, the world’s leading entertainment auction house. Before the two men met, Nolan had traveled a remarkable distance from his early days in New York, where in the early 1990s—Green Card in hand—he had landed a job working at the front desk of the New York Hilton. In the years that followed, the determined Irishman had networked his way up into a string of Wall Street jobs, where he found success as a stock broker and investment advisor at such firms as JP Morgan Chase and Merrill Lynch.   “Darren was doing a Johnny Cash auction when I met him—he was a marketing guy who needed a finance guy, so I joined him,” explains Nolan, who met Julien in 2004 and the following year signed on with the auction house as CFO. By 2010 Nolan had become an equal partner in the business. “When I resigned from Merrill Lynch in 2005 and told my colleagues that I was joining Julien’s Auctions, there were looks of dismay—they would say: ‘Why auctions? It’s such a different business. It’s so risky …,’” says Nolan, who pointed out to his colleagues that the buying and selling on the floor of the stock exchange was no different than what takes place inside an auction hall. Fifteen years later, he continues to wield a healthy appetite for risk, a prerequisite for any CFO daring enough to enter the ebb-and-flow of the auction business. For Nolan, the risks are best hedged by using a mix of financial best practices and good humor. Says Nolan: “Darren wakes up in the morning and checks Google and asks: ‘Are we in the news?’ I wake up and check the bank accounts and ask: ‘Are we still in business?’” However, there’s one risk that Nolan may fear more than any other: that a finance career hatched by a lottery win could put Wall Street in its rearview and still someday be deemed as ordinary. – Jack Sweeney
