Počet podnetov na zneužívanie eurofondov sa od kontroly znásobil. Najnovšie zistenia sa netýkajú len predražených detských preliezok, ale aj systémového kradnutia, podvodov, či dokonca vydierania starostov, ktorí chcú eurofondy na kanalizáciu vo svojej obci. Tí čelia žiadostiam o úplatky vo výške 5 - 20 percent z dotácie. Podľa europoslanca za EPP Tomáša Zdechovského na to kontrolný výbor upozorňujú aj starostovia alebo zastupitelia za Smer či Hlas. Europoslanec Mazurek je podľa neho v Bruseli neviditeľný: "Do včerajška som nevedel, kto je Mazurek a že je v europarlamente," hovorí Tomáš Zdechovský.V podcaste s českým europoslancom za KDÚ-ČSL Tomášom Zdechovským sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – že kontrolnému výboru europarlamentu prišlo 15-tisíc strán dokumentov upozorňujúcich na zneužívanie eurofondov;– po 3:00 – že našli vydieranie a žiadosti o úplatky v prípade eurofondov na kanalizácie;– po 4:00 – prečo požiadal komisiu, aby sa pozrela na dianie v PPA a prípadne jej opäť odobrala akreditáciu;– od 6:00 – že kontrolnému výboru sa sťažujú stovky bežných Slovákov, vrátane starostov za Smer a Hlas;– po 7:30 – za aký čas dokázali Taliani odsúdiť podobnú kauzu ako Dobytkár a prečo to u nás nejde;– od 8:30 – že nefunguje kontrola európskych dotácií v PPA;– po 9:30 – že v PPA sú ako kontrolóri nasadení ľudia blízki oligarchom;– od 10:30 – či po zisteniach europoslancov skončia niektorí ľudia vo väzení;– po 10:30 – do akej miery hrozí pozastavenie preplácania eurofondov;– od 12:30 – že jeho rodine sa ľudia vyhrážajú smrťou;– po 13:30 – že aj minister Migaľ prišiel na systematické kradnutie;– od 14:45 – že argumenty Miroslava Lajčáka sú na úrovni žiaka druhej triedy základnej školy;– po 15:00 – ako teraz idú kontrolovať aj Ukrajinu a Česko;– od 17:30 – že aj Bulharsko malo problém s dotáciami na súkromné penzióny, ale aspoň to riešilo;– po 20:00 – že Slovensko je srdce Európy, ktoré potrebuje bypass, lebo je choré;– od 21:30 – na ktorých výrokoch Petra Kotlára sa smeje aj jeho dvanásťročný syn;– po 23:00 – že do včerajška nevedel, kto je Milan Mazurek a ani že je europoslancom;– od 26:20 – ako paradoxne slovenskou europoslankyňou s najlepším kreditom bola donedávna Monika Beňová;– po 28:30 – ktorí súčasní slovenskí europoslanci sú známi kvalitnou prácou;– od 29:45 – či fungujú protiruské sankcie;– po 31:00 – že ďalšie sankcie nám nepredražia energie;– od 33:00 – ako si Viktor Orbán myslí niečo iné ako hovorí, a ešte úplne inak hlasuje;– po 33:30 – že Robert Fico by v sebe mohol objaviť trochu cti a že Viktor Orbán sa drží pri moci vďaka Rusku;– od 35:00 – ako sa pozerá na trestné stíhanie Jaroslava Naďa;– po 37:00 – že Andrej Danko priamo poškodzuje ekonomické záujmy Slovenska a prípadným vystúpením z EÚ by našla životná úroveň klesla o tretinu;– od 39:00 – ako jeho dedo bojoval na Slovensku proti maďarským vojskám;– po 41:00 – nech sa idú ľudia pozrieť na kolóny a kontroly na hraniciach EÚ s Britániou;– od 41:30 – o čom je EÚ, ak nie je iba o peniazoch.

This week on The Profitable Photographer, I had a fun and inspiring conversation with Angela Lawson, an international award-winning pet photographer with 28 years of experience. For the past 15 years, she's focused exclusively on animals of all shapes and sizes—from dogs and cats to reptiles and pocket pets.She has also earned her Accredited Professional of Animal Imagery from the International Society of Animal Photographers and has taken the PPA judges' training Angela shares how understanding animal behavior and breed traits has been essential to her success, and how she brings compassion and purpose to every session.One of her most meaningful offerings is her Legacy Sessions, created for senior or terminally ill pets. These sessions capture the deep bond between pets and their people and result in lasting keepsakes like albums and wall portraits.Her sadness that she doesn't have nice portraits of a beloved pet that passed over the rainbow bridge motivated her to start, and teach, this specialty.She breaks down some of the things to know before one of these special sessions.How to gently navigate emotional sessions and support grieving clientsWhy it's important to research each animal before photographing themHow Angela uses local groups and The Tilly Project to market Legacy SessionsTips for intentional business building and meaningful client relationshipsWhether you're already photographing pets or thinking about it, Angela's insights will help you connect more deeply with clients and create work that truly matters.To get in touch with Angela:angela@aglphotography.net www.aglphotography.net www.facebook.com/aglphotoWant support with your business goals?

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol – the global gold standard for measuring corporate emissions – is under review, and the proposed changes could dramatically reshape how clean energy is bought, sold, and reported. New draft rules are expected by the end of the year.What changes could we see? And how will they impact the energy transition? To find out, Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie covering solar markets, speaks with Lee Taylor, CEO of Resurety – a leading provider of data and analytics for clean energy buyers. Lee has spent over a decade helping companies understand not just how to procure renewables, but how to do so with real carbon impact.Together, they explore what's changing in Scope 2 emissions accounting, why location and timing of energy use now matter more than ever, and how voluntary clean power markets might evolve. They break down complex concepts like emissionality, 24/7 procurement, and consequential accounting – and what these mean for corporate net-zero strategies, PPA structures, and the future of Renewable Energy Certificates.If your business buys clean electricity or reports against Scope 2, this is essential listening.Plus, Taylor shares his advice for buyers and developers navigating the shifting landscape, and explains why the next six months will be key in shaping rules that will define voluntary climate leadership in the coming years.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Today's episode features Lauren - who tells the story of her mother Pat's journey with Alzheimer's - PPA and lung cancer. Lauren describes noticing her mother's speech becoming jumbled in August 2022, which led to a challenging path to diagnosis involving family dynamics between her, her two sisters, and their father. Lauren so astutely recounts how navigating the family dynamics helped her recognize their family patterns - and ultimately helped her realize her own strength in showing up for difficult situations.This is such an incredibly raw, deep and meaningful conversation and we are so thankful to Pat for opening up to us.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
A study released this month examined the state of mothers' mental health in the U.S. from 2016 to 2023. Using data from 200,000 mothers, the study reveals a "significant decline" in emotional and physical well-being for mothers in all age groups and demographics. Margaret and Amy break down the data, the implications, and the causes—which certainly include the pandemic, although there are many other social, economic, and cultural forces contributing to the stress of modern motherhood. Amy and Margaret discuss: What a major national study reveals about maternal mental health trends Why the decline in mental health extends far beyond the postpartum period The role of pandemic-related stress, financial pressures, and lack of support How parents can prioritize their own well-being—even in small, actionable ways Why maternal mental health impacts the whole family system Mothers' mental health is showing up as a true crisis, and not just in the postpartum months, but throughout the parenting journey. The clear connection between children's mental health and that of their caregivers makes maternal well-being an imperative public health priority.

Namibië se pluimveebedryf se groeikurwe duur voort. Verlede jaar was die bedryf se produksiewaarde 1,74 miljard Namibiese dollar, ‘n styging van 13 persent teenoor die vorige jaar. Naas beesboerdery lewer pluimvee die tweede grootste bydrae tot landbou in die land. Pluimveeboere word versoek om by die Lewendehawe- en Lewendehaweprodukteraad, LLPB, of die Pluimveeprodusentevereniging, die PPA, te registreer.

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a shift with the rapid adoption of multi-die design, driven by the promise of improved power, performance, and area (PPA). But with innovation comes complexity, and one of the biggest challenges is ensuring silicon reliability and health through effective multi-die testing.In this episode, we dive deep into the world of multi-die design for test: what it means, how it differs from traditional monolithic design testing, and why it's critical for the future of semiconductor manufacturing. Learn how testing spans from individual dies to multiple dies to die-to-die links, and why silicon data is essential for maintaining multi-die health during both manufacturing and in-field operations. We will explore the future of multi-die design for test and discuss Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) strategies that designers can implement today to stay ahead.

Šesťdesiat miliónov eur. Presne toľko mala Pôdohospodárska platobná agentúra naliať do dotačnej schémy na podporu agroturizmu. Dnes, po takmer desiatich rokoch, sa však objavujú dôkazy o tom, že peniaze pravdepodobne skončili vo vreckách zopár ľudí, ktorí si za ne postavili súkromné vily, či dokonca haciendy. Prípad, ktorý posledné týždne otriasa Slovenskom, zaujal už aj Európsky parlament a delegácia europoslancov kvôli nemu zavítala priamo k nám. Podľa Radovana Geista, vydavateľa portálu Euractiv.sk, ktorý sa venuje mapovaniu európskej politiky, ide o vážny škandál pre Slovensko. „V týchto mesiacoch totiž začínajú debaty o európskom rozpočte a o tom, ako majú vyzerať eurofondové programy. Každé takéto odhalenie poukazuje na neefektívnosť existujúcej politiky, či už poľnohospodárskej alebo regionálnej,“ vysvetľuje. Navyše, veci neprospieva ani to, ak vláda, respektíve jej predstavitelia, nie sú v prípade podobných delegácií súčinní, respektíve nezvládnu komunikáciu. Stalo sa tak napríklad v prípade poslednej delegácie v roku 2018, kedy europoslanci na Slovensko prišli v súvislosti s kauzou Dobytkár a rozprávali sa aj priamo s premiérom Robertom Ficom. „Pýtali sa napríklad na prideľovanie dotácií na neexistujúcu pôdu, aj na prípadné zapojenie talianskej mafie.

Energy is required at every step of the food and beverage industry supply chain, from growing grapes to bottling and delivery, making it a significant source of emissions and a prime target for climate innovation. On this episode of Earth911's Sustainability in Your Ear, we explore how wineries and other producers are turning to clean, renewable energy to cut costs, reduce emissions, and future-proof their operations. We're joined by James Presta, Business Development Manager at REC Solar, and Mario Trinchero of Trinchero Family Estates, a storied family-run winery in California's Sonoma County. REC Solar and Trinchero teamed up to bring solar energy to one of the country's largest winery operations, showing how collaboration between energy experts and agricultural producers can drive meaningful progress toward a carbon-neutral future. James explains that a decentralized electric grid is emerging—powered by modular solar installations and guided by power purchase agreements (PPAs) that lock in long-term energy prices. When networked together, these individual installations can form a resilient web of renewable power. Solar, wind, and geothermal systems will provide flexibility and stability in a world of climate extremes—if we act quickly enough to scale them. Mario reflects on the motivations behind his family's move to solar: sustainability is not just good business, it's essential to preserving the land and legacy that define the brand. By using solar energy in its winemaking process, Trinchero has cut emissions and operating costs while strengthening its commitment to environmental stewardship.We also delve into the mechanics of PPAs—a modern-day version of the 1930s rural electrification initiative that brought power to American farms. But now, companies like REC Solar—not government agencies—extend the grid through private partnerships. These agreements offer fixed pricing, shared risk, and maintenance contracts, but it's critical to understand the provider's long-term plans. A strong PPA can unlock the potential to electrify entire supply chains, eliminate dependence on diesel generators, and drive innovations where wires have never reached. And the potential for abundant, clean power is growing. What could we build if we end up with more energy than we need? As James and Mario suggest, the answer may be anything we can imagine with the right infrastructure—without the pollution that defined the last century.

Eric interviews Craig McBride and Ana Arntsonfrom the Pond Professionals Alliance (PPA). They discuss the organization's recent successes, highlighting a large-scale swim pond build at an expo and thanking the numerous sponsors and manufacturers who donated products and support. The conversation then shifts to the challenges the PPA faces, particularly administrative overwhelm and the need for more member and manufacturer support as they grow internationally. Finally, they outline their future vision for the PPA, which includes expanding global reach, developing training and recognition programs, and actively engaging with legislation affecting the industry, and they promote an upcoming summer retreat designed to foster peer connection and professional development. Pond Builders' Summer Retreat (July 31 - Aug 3rd) Key Takeaways: Actively invest in your community by sharing knowledge and experiences, not just seeking help. Embrace vulnerability and share your failures and challenges, as they are valuable learning opportunities for yourself and others. Seek dedicated time away from the daily grind for introspection and thoughtful planning for personal and business growth. Utilize peer groups and networks to find answers to problems, whether technical or administrative. Prioritize building and maintaining relationships within your industry or group, as these connections create value and support.

Čo všetko je schopný urobiť premiér tejto krajiny aby zakryl svoju neschopnosť riešiť reálne problémy Slovenska? Premiérskou témou je kvalita života na Slovensku a od toho Fico neustále uteká, hovorí bývalá premiérka Iveta Radičová. Podľa nej sa premiér Fico dnes už ani netají snahou zmeniť režim na Slovensku, vládnuť krajine však zjavne nevie. Reč bude aj o zásadnej zmene chorého zdravotníctva.Pri príležitosti osláv konca Druhej svetovej vojny navštívil slovenský premiér Moskvu a tam rokoval priamo s Vladimírom Putinom, ktorý dnes vedie vojnu na Ukrajine. Opozícia v tom má jasno a označila to za akt vlastizrady a kolaborácie s nepriateľskou mocnosťou. Medzitým ako sa slovenský premiér klaňal vládcovi Kremľa, sa však štát, ktorý vedie - či by ho aspoň viesť mal, rozpadá doslova v priamom prenose.Stav verejných financií sa napriek opakovanej konsolidácií, ktorá nám zvýšila dane a zhoršila služby štátu, príliš nezlepšil no a to nás čaká ešte ďalšie uťahovanie opaskov. Zatialčo vláda siahla na daňové bonusy na deti či šikanuje podnikateľov bizarnou transakčnou daňou, sama sa ukromniť odmieta. Ministrom rapídne narástli platy, šéf rezortu vnútra objednal pre policajtov kávové uniformy a počítače za tritisíc no a pod rukami PPA nám tu rozkvitli penziony - nepenzióny.Namiesto riešenia reálnych problémov sa ale vládna koalícia neustále zaoberá sama sebou, utočí na média či mimovládny sektor no a dokonca vedie ľúty boj za práva extrémistu Bombica či konšpirátora Kotlára..Asi najlepšie úpadok štátu definoval šéf NKÚ, ktorý v rozhovore pre Aktuality povedal, že ministerstvo zdravotníctva ovládli lobisti a štát v oblasti zdravia na verejný záujem jednoducho rezignoval. Kam teda smeruje Slovensko pod touto vládou? Podari sa Robertovi Ficovi uniesť krajinu z Európy a dokedy sa vôbec dá tento Potemkin - vydávaný za štát, ešte predstierať a imitovať modernú a funkčnú demokraciu? Naozaj práve toto voliči chcú a stačí im to? No a kde je silná, jednotná a najmä zmysluplná alternatíva politickej opozície? Témy pre bývalú premiérku a profesorku sociológie Ivetu Radičovú.Stále častejšie som svedkom "úteku od slobody," kde mnohým ľuďom je sloboda na príťaž. Máme v sebe veľký potenciál prispôsobovania sa, ktorý v nás táto vládna garnitúra živí vetami typu: Nechajme Rusa, veď on raz odíde. Nie, neodíde.

Penzión v rodinnej zástavbe, kde sa nikto neubytováva a len občas sa tam konali detské tábory. Polyfunkčný dom v Dunajskej Strede, ktorý je v čase otváracích hodín prázdny, alebo rodinný dom, ktorý má byť penziónom, no jedna rodina v ňom v podnájme žije už dlhodobo.To sú len niektoré zo stavieb, ktoré v roku 2016 získali od Pôdohospodárskej platobnej agentúry (PPA) štedrú dotáciu. Niekoľko stotisíc eur, či prípadné milióny z eurofondov mali slúžiť na podporu agroturizmu, po rokoch sa však ukazuje, že výsledok je úplne iný.Na čo konkrétne dnes slúžia novovybudované budovy, aké sú prepojenia firiem, ktoré za nimi stoja na samotnú PPA a bude sa podozreniami, že eurofondy boli zneužité na súkromné vily, vôbec niekto zaoberať?Eva Frantová sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta Xénie Makarovej z Nadácie Zastavme korupciu.Zdroje zvukov: 360tka, Denník NOdporúčanie:Ak ste to ešte nezachytili, podcast denníka SME Rozprávky, ktoré číta člen činohry Slovenského národného divadla Robert Roth, sú späť.
