Jim Fitzpatrick signed Limited Print of Elizabeth O'Farrell Regular readers of this column will know that I wholeheartedly support the efforts of the Moore St. Preservation Trust to preserve the 1916 Moore St. Battlefield site in Dublin that is under threat from the developers wrecking ball. This week the Trust - a not for profit organisation led by Relatives of the Signatories of the 1916 Proclamation – will launch a new limited edition signed print of Elizabeth O'Farrell by the renowned Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick. One hundred prints will be available from Thursday evening at €150 as part of the fundraising efforts of the Trust to raise much needed funds in support of its alternative plan for a cultural and historical quarter in the Moore Street battlefield site. Health and Care in a New IrelandLast month the European Movement in Ireland –Amárach Research – reported that a majority of people in both parts of the island were in favour of a united Ireland within the EU. The figures were 67% in favour in the North and 62% in favour in the South.Last week the Life and Times Survey, which is conducted by Queens University, reported that the gap between those who support the union with Britain and those who favour Irish Unity, has halved in the last year. In 2021 the gap was 23 points. In 2023 that had halved to 12 points. This year it has halved again to 5 points.An Act of International PiracyIn an act of international piracy Israeli forces hijacked the humanitarian aid vessel the Madleen in international waters as it was making its way to the Gaza Strip with much needed humanitarian aid for the beleaguered community. The Madleen is part of the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition and it had a crew of 12 including environmental activist activist Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan MEP. The Israel action is part of its strategy to control the public narrative around events in the Palestinian occupied territories, particularly Gaza, where millions face starvation.In the Gaza Strip and the west Bank the daily slaughter of innocents by the Israeli regime's murder squads continues unimpeded. So too does the deliberate targeting of the health service which has been all but obliterated by Israel's genocidal military campaign. The objective is clearly to remove sll Palestinians from Gaza.

As Israel has continued its attacks on starving Palestinians who are seeking aid in Gaza, the humanitarian aid flotilla that had been set to arrive from its journey across the Mediterranean sea bringing a small amount of basic support was captured early this morning by Israeli state piracy forces. The 12 humanitarian activists aboard that vessel from all around the world were kidnapped and brought as hostages to the Israeli port of Ashdod. Well over 600 days, now, of the zionist war of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, today, we return to our recurring segment, the Palestine Post.

THE PRC PLAN WAS PIRACY FROM THE FIRST OPPPORTUNITY: 1/4: Wireless Wars: China's Dangerous Domination of 5G and How We're Fighting Back by Jonathan Pelson (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Wars-Dangerous-Domination-Fighting/dp/1953295614/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DJU62K5HQ6WR&keywords=wireless+wars&qid=1662137784&s=books&sprefix=wireless+wars%2Cstripbooks%2C65&sr=1-1 In Wireless Wars: China's Dangerous Domination of 5G and How We're Fighting Back, author Jon Pelson explains how America invented cellular technology, taught China how to make the gear, and then handed them the market. Pelson shares never-before-told stories from the executives and scientists who built the industry and describes how China undercut and destroyed competing equipment makers, freeing themselves to export their nation's network gear—and their surveillance state. He also reveals China's successful program to purchase the support of the world's leading political, business, and military figures in their effort to control rival nations' networks. What's more, Pelson draws on his lifelong experience in the telecommunications industry and remarkable access to the sector's leaders to reveal how innovative companies can take on the Chinese threat and work with counterintelligence and cybersecurity experts to prevent China from closing the trap. He offers unparalleled insights into how 5G impacts businesses, national security and you. Finally, Wireless Wars proposes how America can use its own unique superpower to retake the lead from China. This book is about more than just 5G wireless services, which enable self-driving cars, advanced telemedicine, and transformational industrial capabilities. It's about the dangers of placing our most sensitive information into the hands of foreign companies who answer to the Chinese Communist Party. And it's about the technology giant that China is using to project its power around the world; Huawei, a global super-company that has surged from a local vendor to a $120 billion-a-year behemoth in just a few yearsE

This book is about more than just 5G wireless services, which enable self-driving cars, advanced telemedicine, and transformational industrial capabilities. It's about the dangers of placing our most sensitive information into the hands of foreign companies who answer to the Chinese Communist Party. And it's about the technology giant that China is using to project its power around the world; Huawei, a global super-company that has surged from a local vendor to a $120 billion-a-year behemoth in just a few yearsE
THE PRC PLAN WAS PIRACY FROM THE FIRST OPPPORTUNITY: 4/4: Wireless Wars: China's Dangerous Domination of 5G and How We're Fighting Back by Jonathan Pelson (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Wars-Dangerous-Domination-Fighting/dp/1953295614/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DJU62K5HQ6WR&keywords=wireless+wars&qid=1662137784&s=books&sprefix=wireless+wars%2Cstripbooks%2C65&sr=1-1 In Wireless Wars: China's Dangerous Domination of 5G and How We're Fighting Back, author Jon Pelson explains how America invented cellular technology, taught China how to make the gear, and then handed them the market. Pelson shares never-before-told stories from the executives and scientists who built the industry and describes how China undercut and destroyed competing equipment makers, freeing themselves to export their nation's network gear—and their surveillance state. He also reveals China's successful program to purchase the support of the world's leading political, business, and military figures in their effort to control rival nations' networks.

First in a double podcast about the Golden Age of Piracy, with historian Marcus Rediker. The legendary pirates of this era weren't just thieves—they were daring rebels challenging the very systems of power and authority of their time. Fighting every colonial empire, and creating their own ways of living free from authority, pirates became symbols of liberty and resistance to working-class and poor people everywhere.

“A lot of people in our communities don't view them as pirates. I think they are defenders of the sea.”In 2011, Somali piracy peaked. Crews were attacked at gunpoint and many held as hostages for months. The World Bank says there were 243 incidents that year. After a crackdown involving international navies, attacks plummeted to almost zero.But since last year there's been an uptick in incidents. Houthi attacks on shipping using the Suez Canal - in support of the Palestinians in Gaza – drew global attention, and firepower, away from the Somali coastline. And the root causes of the problem – poverty and lack of infrastructure for local fishing communities, and illegal fishing by foreign trawlers – were never addressed.So could piracy return to the levels of 15 years ago?Alan @kasujja speaks with a local fisherman from the affected town of Eyl, and to fisheries expert Abdirahman Mohamed.
Did you know Hong Kong used to be a hub for pirates? That factoid has long been part of the popular history for Hong Kong—and for Southern China broadly. For centuries, Chinese pirates raided merchants and coastal communities up and down the Chinese coast, taking advantage of weak imperial rule and safe havens like what's now present-day Vietnam. Robert Antony tells the story of pirates like Zheng Yi Sao in his recent book Outlaws of the Sea: Maritime Piracy in Modern China (Hong Kong UP, 2024) Before retiring in 2019, Robert Antony was distinguished professor at Guangzhou University and recently visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. His recent books include Unruly People: Crime, Community, and State in Late Imperial South China (HKU Press: 2016), The Golden Age of Piracy in China, 1520-1810: A Short History with Documents (Rowman & Littlefield: 2022), and Rats, Cats, Rogues, and Heroes: Glimpses of China's Hidden Past (Rowman & Littlefield: 2023), also covered by the New Books Network.

Send us a textEver wondered if you could survive being stranded alone on the red planet? Our latest deep dive examines The Martian, where astronaut Mark Watney must use ingenuity and science to stay alive on Mars after being accidentally left behind by his crew.We tackle the film's survival realism - from the questionable Martian dust storm that launches the plot to the scientifically sound (though explosive) water-making chemistry that keeps Watney alive. Did you know Mars' atmosphere is only 1% as dense as Earth's, making those dramatic windstorms physically impossible? Or that Watney's potato-growing strategy using human waste actually makes scientific sense?The episode sparks fascinating discussions about survival psychology and problem-solving. As Watney says, "You're in outer space, you are going to die, you have to solve every problem, one at a time, and when you solve enough problems you get to come back home." This methodical approach translates to any survival situation - focus on immediate challenges rather than becoming overwhelmed by your circumstances.We also debate which would be worse: being stranded in space or lost at sea. Space offers a quick death but absolute isolation, while the ocean presents the terror of marine predators, storms, and a slower demise. Which would you choose? The conversation highlights how different survival scenarios require unique mental frameworks and coping mechanisms.Whether you're a science fiction fan, a survival enthusiast, or just curious about what it takes to overcome impossible odds, this episode offers both entertainment and practical insights. Join us as we break down what it really takes to survive when you're the only human on an entire planet. Subscribe now and let us know in the comments: what movie should we analyze next?

Why does Hollywood get hacking wrong in so many movies and TV series?
Meta is facing significant scrutiny following revelations that it allegedly used pirated books to train its AI model, Llama 3. An investigation by The Atlantic uncovered that Meta employees prioritized acquiring these books, deeming them more crucial than web data. The company reportedly accessed a vast library of over 7.5 million books through LibraryGenesis, a known source of illegal distribution. This situation raises profound ethical concerns regarding the future of knowledge sharing and the legality of generative AI development, as enterprises may hesitate to trust AI models lacking a clear intellectual property chain of custody.In the realm of technology investments, global spending on data centers surged by 51% last year, reaching $455 billion, with expectations of a further 30% growth this year. The majority of this capital expenditure is concentrated among the top 10 hyperscalers, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google Cloud, who are heavily investing to meet the rising demand for AI capabilities. However, the U.S. PC market is projected to see only modest growth due to ongoing tariff concerns, despite a notable increase in shipments driven by the commercial sector's demand for Windows 10 refresh cycles.CoreWeave, a cloud AI startup backed by NVIDIA, is preparing for an IPO aiming to raise up to $2.7 billion, but it faces challenges as Microsoft has opted not to exercise a significant option to purchase additional data center capacity. This decision reflects a shift in how tech companies are managing their AI budgets. Analysts have revised CoreWeave's revenue growth expectations downward, indicating a potential cash burn increase, which raises questions about the sustainability of its rapid growth and reliance on a single major customer.The podcast also highlights the implications of the current job market, which is increasingly reliant on government, healthcare, and education sectors, raising concerns about future labor market stability. As hiring in these sectors is expected to slow, the overall economic growth may be hindered, particularly for firms offering productivity-enhancing solutions. The convergence of these trends—ethical concerns in AI development, fluctuating tech investments, and a stagnant job market—paints a complex picture of the current business landscape.

In the early modern period, both legal and illegal maritime predation was a common occurrence, but the expansion of European maritime empires exacerbated existing and created new problems of piracy across the globe. The Problem of Piracy in the Early Modern World (Amsterdam UP, 2024) addresses these early modern problems in three sections: first, states' attempts to exercise jurisdiction over seafarers and their actions; second, the multiple predatory marine practices considered 'piracy'; and finally, the many representations made about piracy by states or the seafarers themselves. Across nine chapters covering regions including southeast Asia, the Atlantic archipelago, the North African states, and the Caribbean Sea, the complexities of defining and criminalizing maritime predation is explored, raising questions surrounding subjecthood, interpolity law, and the impacts of colonization on the legal and social construction of ocean, port, and coastal spaces. Seeking the meanings and motivations behind piracy, this book reveals that while European states attempted to fashion piracy into a global and homogenous phenomenon, it was largely a local and often idiosyncratic issue.

Ching Shih, born as Shi Yang, was quite possibly the most powerful pirate of all time. While famous UK pirates like Blackbeard, Black Bart, Calico Jack, Sir Francis Drake, or Captain Kidd get much more name recognition, none of them ever commanded a confederation of pirates up to 80,000 men strong, with around 2,000 ships.

In this throwback episode Sebastian takes you back to Season 2 and Episode #47. Piracy on the high seas has existed for as long as human beings have had boats. For most of history these maritime marauders were almost exclusively men. However, there have also been a handful of notable women who lived the pirate life. Their stories can often blur the line between myth and history. Tune in and find out how severed ears, guardian lizards, and the real life Captain Jack Sparrow all play a role in the story.
