Members of the Department of Government Efficiency have made their way into the National Science Foundation, as grants throughout the agency are being terminated. Three DOGE affiliates are currently listed as working in the Office of the Director at NSF, according to multiple sources within the agency: Luke Farritor, a former SpaceX intern and AI engineer who has shown up at other agencies DOGE has entered; Rachel Riley, a former McKinsey consultant who has also appeared at the Department of Health and Human Services; and Zachary Terrell. As part of the arrangement, Farritor has a “Budget, Finance, and Administration” clearance, which a source said allows him to view and modify the agency's funding opportunity system. Farritor and Terrell are listed in an agency directory as consultants. On April 18, NSF published a statement that it was terminating grants and awards that don't align with the administration's priorities, including those related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and misinformation and disinformation.

Rachel Riley, the brilliant mind behind Countdown, has gained some powerful life lessons along the way. Starting her TV career at just 22, Rachel faced the pressures of the spotlight head-on. With the help of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), she learned to break free from perfectionism, shifting her focus from obsessing over mistakes to celebrating her successes and learning from challenges. Her approach to life is all about embracing growth, knowing that the best lessons often come from taking risks and making mistakes.A profound turning point came in Rachel's life after a huge loss. This experience gave her a new perspective, driving her to focus on what truly matters: family, health, and making the most of every moment. For Rachel, failure isn't something to fear—it's a stepping stone to growth. She's a big believer in pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, because that's where the real learning happens.Rachel's passion for making a difference goes far beyond the screen. In 2023, she was awarded an MBE for her dedication to Holocaust education, bravely standing up for important causes. At home, she's just as inspiring, opening her doors to Ukrainian refugees and instilling values of kindness and compassion in her children. For Rachel, success is about more than fame—it's about living a meaningful, balanced life, surrounded by family and making a lasting impact on the world.Rachel hosts the UK's Biggest Business event from the 2nd-4th April 2025 in Farnborough.

The charges were dropped by the CPS in February this year.The final decision on Greenwood's place at the club was announced yesterday, with a "mutual deicison" that he will be leaving. But just last week, there were rumours of a plan to bring the player back. So what happened? And what changed?Jon and Lewis talk to The Athletic's Adam Crafton, who has the inside story of what went on at Manchester United last week and we hear from TV presenter and fan of the club, Rachel Riley.Later, we take a look at the government's stance on small boats crossing the channel.

She also told me about the vitriolic trolling that she suffered during her campaign against antisemitism, which coinicided with the birth of her first daughter.She and her husband, Pasha, are bringing up their two little daughters to speak both English and Russian, with a little Ukranian added into the mix.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones Hosted on Acast.

For the second episode in a special two-part series of Destination on the Left episodes, I talked to ten inspiring leaders in the world of destination marketing all about successful partnerships that their destinations are taking forward into the post-pandemic world. My interviewees also share the most significant challenges they are facing today and how they are moving through them creatively to serve their residents, visitors, and partners alike. I'm excited to share these mini-interviews, and I hope you find them as fascinating and insightful as I did. In this episode, you'll hear from these extraordinary leaders: Louise Bishop – President of South County Tourism Council in Rhode Island Olivia Novak – Marketing Manager with Discover Lancaster, Pennsylvania Paul Nursey – CEO of Destination Greater Victoria, BC Racene Frieda – CEO of Glacier County Regional Tourism Commission in Montana Rachel Ludwig – CEO of Tourism Canmore Kananaskis in the Canadian Rockies Rachel Riley – Associate Vice President of Communications for the Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board Rebecca McKenzie – President and CEO of the Culinary Tourism Alliance Sarah Hughes – Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Visit Norfolk Scott McCray, President, and CEO of Fairbanks Alaska Stuart Butler – Chief Marketing Officer with Visit Myrtle Beach Stories of Inspiring Partnerships at the Destinations International 2022 Annual Convention I love coming to the Destinations International Annual Convention because it provides a unique opportunity to come together as marketing specialists, network, share ideas and discuss our wins and our challenges. I asked each of my guests this week to share the word that they would use to describe the convention, and each of these wonderful leaders shared a word or idea that really encompassed the experience of attending the event, from ‘opportunity' to ‘camaraderie.' I was also excited to learn about the creative partnerships all of the destinations represented in this show have built to move forward. Louise Bishop of South County Tourism Council Lousie joins me to share why she feels it is so important for her destination to partner with environmental and coastal resource management organizations, in addition to the cities and towns that make up the South Country region. She also discusses techniques she uses to get all of the stakeholders in a project on the same page and going in the same direction. Olivia Novak of Discover Lancaster Olivia is one of the Destinations Internations 2022 30 under 30 honorees, and she joins me to discuss the key partnership her organization started with the Lancaster Farmland Trust, food producers, and local restaurants to promote an amazing restaurant week in Lancaster that became a win-win for everyone and enabled all of the partners to realize their goals. Paul Nursey of Destination Greater Victoria, BC Paul and I talk about Destination Greater Victoria's goal to lead the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in a sustainable way. He shares the details of the Impact Sustainability Conference that his destination launched and how and why it has become a leading international conference. Racene Frieda of Glacier County Regional Tourism Commission Racene tells us all about the challenges her destination faced during the COVID-19 pandemic when a whole new type of visitor discovered the state of Montana as a desirable destination and how the solution to managing these unexpected tourists resulted in new public-private partnerships that have lasted beyond the pandemic. Rachel Ludwig of Tourism Canmore Kananaskis Rachel shares how her DMO in the Canadian Rockies started up as a new destination and why forming a new destination marketing organization intent on building a solid foundation of trust in the community and partnerships takes time, effort, and skill. She also shares why her words to describe the Destinations International Convention are ‘opportunity' and ‘connection.' Rachel Riley of Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board Rachel highlights the importance of partnerships in destination marketing and shares how a collaboration between the County Commerce Department, Chambers of Commerce, and the Tourism Office created the ‘Make It Main Street' campaign and hashtag as a way to help the community out of the pandemic and boost local businesses. Rebecca McKenzie of the Culinary Tourism Alliance Rebecca shares how the Culinary Tourism Alliance, a not-for-profit Destination Development Organisation based in Toronto, Ontario, works with member destinations to help them grow partnerships. She also very rightly points out that those authentic partnerships are the key to creating those unforgettable experiences that the consumer is looking for. Sarah Hughes of Visit Norfolk Sarah tells us all about the City with Bite video series that Visit Norfolk launched and why it's doing so well that they've just finished filming their second season. She discusses why her destination was inspired to focus on a chef-owned restaurant in each show highlighting everything from why they opened a restaurant in Norfolk to their specialties in the kitchen. Scott McCray of Fairbanks, Alaska I was excited to hear all about how the Tourism Office and Chamber of Commerce in Fairbanks rallied up their business partners and members of the local community to participate in positive picketing by holding pep rallies outside of local hospitals during shift changes to show support and thanks for health care workers during COVID-19. Scott shares their behavior's effect on hospital staff and why the business community was inspired to take action. Stuart Butler of Visit Myrtle Beach Stuart shares how his team rallied the brilliant people in the agencies that his organization at Visit Myrtle Beach works with, who are used to working in siloed organizations to perform cross-functionally. He goes on to explain how connecting people and organizations has led to better problem solving, more efficiency, and more effective campaigns. Challenges and Silver Linings In all of these mini-interviews, I asked similar questions about some of the challenges that destination marketing organizations face. Many of my guests cited workforce as being an issue they needed to put time and thought into currently, and although that didn't surprise me, frankly, I was wowed by the breadth of creativity that the travel and tourism community is putting into solving the problem – and some of the unexpected positive side effects of that creativity. We also discuss the importance of partnerships to DMOs, and they shared their predictions for the future of the travel marketing industry. I hope you enjoy the second part of the two-part Destinations International 2022 Annual Convention series. I'm excited to share it with you.

In the final episode of series two, Gabby meets adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys. A National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Alastair's many outdoor escapades include cycling round the world, rowing the Atlantic and walking across India, but he has also won acclaim for his pioneering work on the concept of cheaper, simpler, closer-to-home microadventures. He spends his time encouraging people to live more adventurously… but is his enterprising and often daring spirit reflected in his approach to money matters? It has certainly helped being married to an accountant, with whom he has two children. Among stories from his many adventures, he tells Gabby how he has become a self-confessed money geek after years of ignoring his finances, how he funded a four-year trip around the world with just £7,000, and how he managed to get a pizza delivered in the middle of Alaska.

Bogi Ágústsson og Jóhann Hlíðar Harðarson ræddu um stjórnarkreppuna í Perú, netníð sem beinist gegn stjórnmálamönnum og þekktum persónum. Meirihluti kvenna sem taka þátt í stjórnmálum í Evrópulöndum verður fyrir árásum nettrölla. Þessar árásir eru oft grófar, einkennast af kvenhatri, athugasemdum um útlit og oft eru hótanir um kynferðislegt ofbeldi. Breska sjónvarpskona Rachel Riley sagði í viðtali í Newsnight í sjónvarpi BBC að árásir á sig væru skipulagðar í hópum á whatsapp. Í lokin var svo fjallað um stefnuræðu Mette Frederiksen, forsætisráðherra Dana, sem dró upp augnabliksmyndir af lífinu í Danmörku, ræddi samfélagstraust og notkun tungumálsins. Henni fannst sérkennilegt að sjá talað um PLC, pædagogisk lærecenter (uppeldisnámsmiðstöð) , sem einu sinni hefði heitið skólabókasafn.
