A Clare TD fears artists in this county will inadvertently be discriminated against in the selection process of a Government support scheme. The 2026 to 2029 edition of the Basic Income for the Arts Scheme will provide €325 a week to 2,000 artists selected at random. A total of 54 Clare artists benefitted from the pilot version of the scheme introduced in 2022. Speaking in the Dáil, Bodyke Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney believes choose recipients through a random draw will produce an "urban-heavy result".

Luke 3:4-14 New International Version 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness,‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.5 Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low.The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.6 And all people will see God’s salvation.’”[a] 7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” 10 “What should we do then?” the crowd asked. 11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” 12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told them. 14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we speak with Elvis Ebikade, Director of Strategic Market Development at Bioleum Corporation, about why the Global South should be producing SAF rather than just exporting raw feedstocks, how renewable fuels are becoming an energy security play, the technical challenge of getting aromatics into SAF, and what actually separates a bankable SAF project from a good-looking spreadsheet.Ebikade discusses:The case for Africa and Southeast Asia as SAF producers, not just feedstock suppliersWhy exporting feedstocks and reimporting SAF adds a carbon intensity penalty that undermines the product's core valueFeedstock diversity in Africa: HEFA, alcohol-to-jet, woody biomass, and e-fuelsThe energy security reframe: why renewable fuels change who sits at the tableExport vs book-and-claim: why there's no single model for Global South SAFWhat Bioleum is building: lignin-to-aromatics, cellulosic ethanol, and the Hexas Biomass acquisitionWhy most SAF today still needs to be blended with fossil jet fuel before it can be used to power aircraftWhat makes a SAF project bankable: feedstock, offtake, EPC, and a credible path to cost parityThe gap between financial models and operational realityIf you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Meg Gentle, Executive Director at HIF Global, about how synthetic fuels and waste-based pathways could reshape the economics of sustainable aviation fuel.

In the film Where the Wild Things Are, a boy in a wolf suit discovers what most of us already know but rarely say out loud: loving others is hard. The wild things wanted a king who could keep them together and shield them from sadness — but no king, no matter how great, can do that. And neither can we. In this beautifully crafted episode, Sophia Bricker weaves together film, literature, Scripture, and raw honesty to name something we all experience but often feel guilty admitting — that love, in all its forms, is messy, costly, and sometimes feels beyond us. C.S. Lewis wrote that to love at all is to be vulnerable — that a heart given to anyone will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. Yet Jesus, who knew this better than anyone, chose to love anyway. He gave up divine privilege, took on human flesh, and died a criminal's death — not because it was easy, but because love requires sacrifice. Paul's instruction to the Philippians was simple and staggering all at once: have the same mindset as Christ in your relationships. That kind of love — wildly generous, sacrificial, seeking the good of others above our own — is not natural to us. But it is possible. Not through sheer willpower, but through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in us, mirroring back the love we have already received from the nail-scarred hands of God. Today's Bible Verse "Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross." — Philippians 2:6-8, NLT Ponder Today Loving others is hard — and admitting that is not a failure of faith. Every family, friendship, and community experiences conflict, hurt, and misunderstanding. Acknowledging the difficulty of love is the first honest step toward growing in it. To love is to be vulnerable. As C.S. Lewis reminds us, a heart kept safely away from others is a heart that never truly loves. The risk of being hurt is not a reason to withhold love — it is the very nature of it. Jesus is the ultimate model of sacrificial love. He did not cling to comfort or divine privilege. He entered our mess, bore our sin, and loved us at great personal cost. That is the standard — and the Spirit in us makes it possible. We are not more deserving of love than those we struggle to love. As Sophia asks so pointedly — are we not equally guilty of breaking a heart or speaking a careless word? Remembering our own need for grace softens us toward others who need it too. A Prayer for You Today Savior, I am amazed by Your choice to enter this broken world, taking the curse of sin upon Yourself to save all people. Who am I that I should receive such love? Yet I confess that I struggle to love those around me — people with pasts and flaws not so different from my own. Work in me to produce the fruit of sacrificial, wildly generous love that seeks nothing other than to reflect what You have given me. Produce in me by Your Spirit a new way of life marked by grace and mercy — and the courage to love, even when it's hard. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.William Walker of Jersey Fresh joins Mark Pascal and Francis Schott for a conversation about New Jersey agriculture, local produce, farmers markets, and why fresh food tastes different when it does not have to travel halfway across the country.Why This Episode MattersJersey Fresh is more than a label. It is a long-running New Jersey Department of Agriculture program built to connect farmers, supermarkets, restaurants, and consumers.William explains why “local” is not just feel-good marketing. Produce picked closer to ripeness often has better flavor, better texture, and a much shorter trip to the plate.The conversation gets into the real economics of small farms: if New Jersey farmers cannot win on volume, they can win on quality.Farmers markets, U-pick farms, and seasonal forecasts all become tools for helping families and restaurants eat better while keeping farmers on the land.Mark and Francis make a strong case for treating Jersey tomatoes, strawberries, peaches, and farm stands like the seasonal treasures they are.BanterMark and Francis cover stolen car seats in Jersey City, motorcycles with laptops in the saddlebags, and a glowing local newspaper article that names Francis “the mean one” and Mark “the rock.” The real question: after 70 hours a week together, who wouldn't be?The ConversationWilliam Walker explains how Jersey Fresh grew from a supermarket promotion into a broader effort to connect New Jersey farmers with restaurants, markets, and home cooks. The conversation covers farmers markets, U-pick farms, strawberries, tomatoes, peaches, and the simple reason local produce tastes better: it can be picked closer to ripe.Mark and Francis also dig into the real challenge behind “buy local”: preserving farmland only matters if farmers can still make a living. Along the way, William offers practical advice on storing produce, including the all-important rule that tomatoes do not belong in the refrigerator.Timestamps0:00 – Jersey City car seats, motorcycle regret, and a local article about The Restaurant Guys6:45 – Why local ingredients changed fine dining8:30 – William Walker joins to explain Jersey Fresh10:00 – Farmers markets, U-pick farms, and connecting people to local agriculture15:00 – Why local strawberries, tomatoes, and peaches taste different25:45 – Why tomatoes do not belong in the refrigeratorGuest BioWilliam Walker was part of Jersey Fresh, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture program promoting New Jersey-grown fruits, vegetables, and farm products.

Yesterday I was sitting with an intern — three businesses, three sets of financials, three different industries spread out in front of us. Restaurants. Retail. Travel. Profit & Loss statements, balance sheets. And we're just digging in.   I asked her if any of this was the same as what she's learning in school. She looked at me and said, "God, no."   That answer stayed with me.   Because here's what we were really doing — we weren't just running numbers. We were reading a story. Food sales were up, but food cost shot up even more. Dairy up. Produce up. Meat down. Weather impacts. Fuel. All of it showing up in the space between the notes. Which is exactly what someone told me years ago when I was studying piano — the music lives in the space between the notes, not just the notes themselves.   Your business is the same way. The numbers, the foot traffic, the team dynamics, the cashflow rhythm — it's all telling you something. The question is whether you're willing to open your eyes, your ears, and your heart enough to hear it.   This episode is built around three things I walked that intern through — the same three things I come back to every time I'm in the weeds with a business. Story. Rhythm. Consistency. Not a cookie-cutter method someone handed you. A framework you build on your own terms, from the inside out.   If your business feels like it's whispering and you keep talking over it — this one's for you.   Key Takeaways: • Your numbers aren't just data — they're a story. Dairy up, produce up, meat down, weather impacts: every detail is a sentence in the chapter your business is trying to hand you. • The space between the notes is where the real information lives. Don't just read the headline metrics. Read what's in between them. • AI is most powerful when you already know what story you're trying to understand. Use it to interpret, not just to process. • Finding your rhythm with your team builds the bridge between the people running the business and the people making the results happen. Rhythm first. Flow follows. • Consistency is what creates congruency. When everyone's plating the dish the same way, running lineup notes the same way, showing up to meetings the same way — that's how alignment actually gets built. • Flow isn't something you chase. It's something you fall into when the story, the rhythm, and the consistency are all working together. • You're not following a cookie-cutter path. You're carving your own — and that only happens when you listen to what your business is actually trying to tell you.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:02   A mentoring session and three sets of financials on the table 00:45   What they were actually looking at — P&Ls and balance sheets 01:20   The real question: what do these numbers mean for how we run the business? 02:24   Three businesses, three industries: restaurants, retail, travel — and the nuances between them 03:00   Prime cost, table turns, GMROI — the metrics that are different by industry 03:45   The intern's answer: "God, no" — she's learning way more here than in school 04:10   The story starts to surface: food sales up, food cost up even more — what happened? 04:37   Dairy up, produce up, meat down — the nitty-gritty details that add up to a chapter 05:10   The piano lesson: the music lives in the space between the notes 05:45   Reading between the lines — how to hear what the numbers are actually communicating 06:15   The 360-degree view: why the story matters as much as the spreadsheet 07:02   Point One — your whole business is telling you a story 07:30   Broken processes, wrong people, ordering waste — the story reveals it all if you're willing to look 08:00   AI as a creative partner — using it to interpret the story, not just process tasks 08:30   What opens up when you stop checking boxes and start listening 09:00   Story leads to creative solutions — the customer experience, the business moving forward 09:24   Point Two — finding your rhythm 09:50   Rhythm with your team builds the bridge between leaders and the people creating results 10:15   Rhythm in cashflow — what does the weekly pattern actually look like? 10:40   Rhythm in numbers, processes, foot traffic, marketing, projects — it's all connected 11:05   Rhythm leads to flow. Flow is alignment. Flow is elevated thinking and elevated creativity. 11:20   Point Three — consistency 11:35   Consistency → congruency → alignment: plating food, running lineup notes, showing up the same way every time 11:49   The close: your business, your numbers, your heart — all telling you a story. Are you listening? 12:10   Carving your own path — on your own terms, not someone else's cookie-cutter method   If this episode hit — if you've been running your business and you know, somewhere underneath it all, that you haven't really been listening to the story it's trying to tell you — share this one. Send it to the founder who's buried in spreadsheets but can't figure out why nothing is moving. Send it to the leader who's grinding through a checklist but feels like something's off.   Hit follow so you don't miss the next one. And if you've been listening for a while and this show has been valuable to you, a review means more than you know — it helps more founders like you find their way here.   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

In today's episode, I'm welcoming back Amy Cross from The Cross Legacy to dive into a topic that's more important than ever: saving money on groceries and keeping produce fresh for longer. Amy shares her tried-and-true methods for making fresh food last weeks (even months!), simple strategies for reducing food waste, and how she's kept her grocery budget the same despite rising prices.

Ever feel like you're stuck on a hamster wheel of lesson planning, collecting more resources than you'll ever use and never quite landing on a structure that actually makes life easier? If you're a middle or high school teacher juggling multiple preps, listen up. This week on The Secondary Teacher Podcast, host Khristen Massic is delivering exactly what you've been looking for: the introduce, practice, produce framework for lesson planning. If you've ever typed “planning framework for secondary teachers” into Google at midnight, desperately searching for order in the chaos, you're in the right place.Let's call out one of the big traps right away—overbuilding in the summer, obsessing over hooks, or grabbing shiny resources hoping they'll solve your planning headaches. Host Khristen Massic knows that empty resource collecting (without structure) just leaves you piecing together disconnected lessons and second-guessing every move. She's been there—so it's time to ditch the random and embrace a better way.The introduce, practice, produce framework is not some theoretical concept; it's a concrete, repeatable structure for every course on your schedule. Start with “introduce”—not just throwing content at students, but crafting that hook, sparking genuine curiosity, and making sure students actually want to be there. Khristen shares how her own mindset changed after workshops on student engagement, but the breakthrough came when she realized the hook is only the beginning.After the spark comes “practice”—that messy middle ground where students interact, try, discuss, and explore the concept, but aren't yet flying solo. It's not about independent work or grades. It's about building understanding with guidance, through labs, collaborative problems, or teacher feedback. Khristen notes this is where most secondary teachers—especially CTE and elective teachers—are already doing good work, often without naming or replicating the structure.Then comes “produce”—the phase where students prove what they know, whether it's a project, presentation, prototype, or even a quick exit ticket. Produce isn't just about summative assessment; it's your chance to collect real evidence of learning, big or small. For multi-prep teachers, this repeatable sequence means you can stop reinventing the wheel for every period and start looking at your courses and lessons through the same lens.A killer insight from Khristen: most teachers already have repeatable routines in one class (think consistent lab report formats or project flows), but rarely think to transfer that structure system-wide. The magic spark? Recognizing that the planning rhythm—introduce, practice, produce—works across content areas, grade levels, and even your busiest schedules.The result? Classroom routines become predictable and effective. Students know what to expect, you spend less time explaining “what are we doing today,” and your cognitive load goes down. Planning starts feeling lighter, not heavier. That's work life balance in the secondary classroom—efficiency and sanity, not burnout and survival mode.This episode is for all you teachers who are tired of operating in silos, exhausted by decision fatigue, and ready for a system that helps the lesson ideas you already have finally flow. Khristen is clear: you don't need more lesson ideas—just a way to organize and repeat what already works.Whether you're building from scratch as a CTE teacher, handling multiple preps, or desperate to stay out of summer overbuild mode, this framework travels. You build the structure once, then swap out content as needed. That's working smarter, not harder, with teacher tips you'll actually use.If you're ready to make your teaching sustainable, not just survivable, and create classroom routines that serve both you and your students, tune in and grab the introduce, practice, produce framework. Apply it to every prep, every unit, and every lesson.Tired of chaos? Build your flow, protect your sanity, and teach like you mean it. See you in the (lighter, smarter) classroom.Too many preps and not enough time?

Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Boston Red Sox in Boston 8-0 last night in game two of their three game series, and explain why they think the Braves have given Ronald Acuña Jr. enough time, and that it's time for Acuña Jr. to produce now.

Carl and Mike close out with more Falcons talk as they react to Jeff Ulbrich saying the Falcons safety tandom of Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts is the best one he has been around, to which the guys agree with and believe it will be important for Bates to remain with the team as he has proven he is able to produce at a high level despite being older. They then get back to comments by Kirby Smart is which he addressed not being afraid to say the SEC may have to consider breaking away.

Think you can outwork your problems? Many dentists default to seeing more patients and chasing higher production when things feel off. And it works... until it doesn't. The result? Dentists build practices that look successful from the outside while quietly becoming prisoners of the businesses they created. In this episode, Craig and Peter break down why grinding harder is just scooping water out of a sinking boat, what actually needs to change underneath, and how to stop being a hostage to your own practice. They discuss the mental models they use to make better decisions, avoid unnecessary complexity, and build businesses that support freedom instead of consuming it. They discuss why ambitious entrepreneurs often confuse movement with progress, why leadership pressure compounds as practices grow, and how high-performing dentists accidentally optimize their lives for achievement instead of fulfillment. The conversation also explores AI and the future of dentistry, the burden of carrying a growing team, the importance of community and mentorship, and why the quality of your problems matters more than the quantity of your success. If you've ever wondered whether your practice is serving your life or slowly taking it over, this episode is for you. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 438 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden, Dr. Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh In this episode, Peter Boulden, Craig Spodak, and Ian de Jongh unpack the hidden psychological cost of growth in dentistry. They explore the dangers of overproduction, why more revenue does not automatically create more freedom, and how ambitious practice owners often become trapped by goals they never stopped to question. From leadership fatigue and burnout to sustainable scaling and mental models for decision-making, this conversation challenges the traditional definition of success in dentistry and offers a different framework for building a practice that supports long-term fulfillment instead of exhaustion. TAKEAWAYS Overproduction often creates more stress instead of more freedom Many dentists become prisoners of the businesses they build Growth without clarity eventually leads to burnout More revenue does not automatically improve quality of life Leadership pressure compounds as practices scale Mental models help simplify business and life decisions High performers often confuse movement with progress Sustainable growth requires intentionality, not reactive expansion The quality of your problems matters more than the quantity of your success Working on your business becomes more important than constantly working in it Community and mentorship become critical as leadership pressure increases AI and technology will reshape the future of dentistry and practice ownership Time Stamps 00:04:00 Producer burnout in dental business. 00:09:27 Burnout and multi-location management. 00:11:31 Leadership and emotional state. 00:15:12 AI thought leadership and curiosity. 00:19:08 Emotional currency in life. 00:23:46 Group support in dentistry. 00:26:46 Quality of life comparisons. 00:28:34 Passive income in dentistry. 00:34:2 Defining happiness in goals. 00:35:41 Striver's blessing and curse. 00:40:39 Striving vs. contentment in success. 00:45:19 Prisoner vs. Hostage Mentality. 00:47:03 Inputs and outputs in life. 00:50:12 Bulletproof Summit ticket sales.
