Podcasts about Rollout

Die energiewirtschaftliche Woche stand im Zeichen des sogenannten NEST-Prozesses, in dem die Bundesnetzagentur die Anreizregulierung für Energienetze auf ein neues Fundament stellen möchte. Viele Ideen sind dabei in der Branche umstritten. Jetzt biegt das entsprechende Festlegungsverfahren die Zielgerade ein. Grund genug, noch mal genauer auf die Vorschläge der Regulierungsbehörde und die jüngsten Änderungen zu schauen. Auf dem Metering Days in Fulda standen derweil der Smart-Meter-Rollout im Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen. Dabei wurden nicht nur über Wege zur Beschleunigung der Netzdigitalisierung gesprochen, die Marktteilnehmer rätselten auch darüber, welche Änderungen bei der Zuständigkeit für den Rollout das Bundeswirtschaftsministerium wohl plant.

Can we align AI with society's best interests? Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the risks to humanity and society as tech firms ignore safety and prioritize speed in the race to build more and more powerful AI models. AI is the most powerful technology humanity has ever built. It can cure disease, reinvent education, unlock scientific discovery. But there is a danger to rolling out new technologies en masse to society without understanding the possible risks. The tradeoff between AI's risks and potential rewards is similar to deployment of social media. It began as a tool to connect people and, in many ways, it did. But it also become an engine for polarization, disinformation, and mass surveillance. That wasn't inevitable. It was the product of choices—choices made by a small handful of companies moving fast and breaking things.

Zak Mir talks to Stafford Masie, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO, Africa Bitcoin Corporation, which is set to list on the Aquis Exchange. I sat down with Stafford Maisy, Executive Chairman, and Warren Wheatley, CEO of Africa Bitcoin Corporation to understand how a South African financial services group plans to combine an established SME lending business with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. What follows is a clear view of their thesis, the mechanics behind the plan, and why they believe Africa is the ideal place for a Bitcoin-first corporate treasury. What is Africa Bitcoin Corporation? Africa Bitcoin Corporation is the first publicly listed company in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The business started as a financial services group focused on secured lending to small and medium enterprises across South Africa and has now announced a strategic pivot: use Bitcoin to strengthen the balance sheet, access cheaper global capital, and scale lending and impact across the continent. Bitcoin was made for us. That tagline captures their conviction. Stafford and Warren describe Bitcoin not as a speculative novelty but as a practical, life-changing instrument in African markets where currency debasement and weak rails make reliable stores of value precious. They are positioning ABC to be the regulated, listed vehicle that gives African investors, citizens and institutions exposure to Bitcoin in a jurisdictional, compliant manner. Why a Bitcoin treasury strategy in Africa? The argument is straightforward and rooted in local economic realities: Demand is pent up. In many African countries access to Bitcoin is restricted, exchanges are nascent, and investors lack regulated entry points. Currency debasement makes a fixed-supply, globally recognised asset attractive as a store of value. Bitcoin is being used as a medium of exchange in sub-Saharan Africa at higher rates than almost anywhere else. Merchant acceptance and day-to-day use are significant. The informal economy is large, sophisticated and largely cash based. Creating rails to bring informal participants into regulated Bitcoin exposure is an opportunity to increase financial inclusion. They point to examples like Namibia, where ABC has already completed a dual listing, as evidence of demand for a regulated way to gain Bitcoin exposure across the continent. How the strategy works in practice ABC's plan is not just to buy Bitcoin and sit on it. The stated objective is to increase Bitcoin per share over time by using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to unlock cheaper capital globally and then deploy that capital into secured, high-impact lending within Africa. Key mechanics include: Bolster the balance sheet by holding Bitcoin as a core asset, increasing the company's creditworthiness. Borrow in deep capital markets such as Japan, Switzerland or the US at single-digit interest rates. On-lend to African SMEs at materially higher rates, creating an interest-rate arbitrage that can be accretive to shareholders and increase Bitcoin per share. Warren explained the arbitrage clearly: borrow at around 6 to 9 percent in developed markets and on-lend in Africa at roughly 20 to 22 percent, resulting in a margin that can be reinvested into the treasury strategy and into the core lending book. Lending model and impact ABC's lending is secured and targeted at businesses rather than microfinance. Typical loan sizes are between £100,000 and £1,000,000, and the company has a three-year track record of deploying such loans. This is presented as high-impact lending: Stafford noted the social multiplier effect — for every modest amount deployed, jobs are created. The combination of secure lending with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet is intended to simultaneously deliver financial returns and measurable local impact. Regulation, listings and rollout across Africa ABC's listing strategy begins with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as its home market and has expanded with a dual listing in Namibia. The company plans further listings in five other sizable African markets to create regulated access points for citizens where Bitcoin cannot easily be bought today. Key points on compliance and execution: Using the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as the regulatory anchor simplifies subsequent listings because many African exchanges accept a fast-track process that recognises the rigor of JSE scrutiny. Additional listings are described as access points, not liquidity hubs. Deep liquidity is expected to come from listings on major markets such as London, Frankfurt and the US. ABC argues that South Africa offers the best combination of liquidity, governance and integration with global capital markets, giving the company a practical moat for a continental rollout. Why ABC believes it can be the dominant player Stafford and Warren set out several competitive advantages: They bring on-the-ground experience across African townships and informal economies, not just a financial services pedigree. Their lending business is naturally synergistic with a Bitcoin treasury. The balance sheet amplification unlocks cheaper capital which scales the lending model. They claim a governance and regulatory network, including relationships with the South African Reserve Bank and the JSE, that many competitors lack. They also stressed differentiation from other companies that have taken on Bitcoin treasuries without an operational fit. Unlike firms that can only announce a holding, ABC intends to actively use Bitcoin as collateral to build a repeatable, accretive business model. Our sole objective is continuously and perpetually to increase Bitcoin per share. Practical concerns and responses Addressing obvious questions, Stafford explained that cross-border expansion can be managed without an explosion in compliance costs because partner exchanges usually accept the JSE's due diligence and offer a fast-track listing. The company will still meet KYC and AML checks locally, but the model is designed to be operationally manageable. On the human side, both leaders emphasised their township roots and the reality of local economies. They challenged western misperceptions about African economies, arguing that informal cash markets are sophisticated and primed for the benefits Bitcoin can bring when offered through regulated, understandable rails. What to watch next Key milestones to monitor include: Final listing on the Aquis Exchange and subsequent planned listings across African markets. Announcements about the size and timing of initial Bitcoin purchases for the treasury and the financing structures used to leverage that collateral. Rollout of lending products that blend fiat and Bitcoin exposure, such as hybrid instruments or "bit bonds", which the company mentioned as a way to grow the treasury without causing dilution. Partnerships with deeper capital markets to provide liquidity and enable the interest-rate arbitrage at scale. Conclusion Africa Bitcoin Corporation presents a thesis built on a credible underlying business, continental demand, and a conviction that Bitcoin offers more than speculative upside in African markets. By using Bitcoin as pristine collateral to access global liquidity and scale secured lending locally, ABC aims to be both accretive for shareholders and transformational for customers on the ground. Whether you view Bitcoin as a speculative asset or as money, ABC's approach is pragmatic: use the asset to create real economic value, deliver credit to businesses that need it, and increase Bitcoin exposure for investors and citizens who currently lack regulated access. For those tracking the intersection of crypto, emerging markets and impact finance, this is a story to follow closely.

In dieser Episode des Energiezone-Podcasts haben wir erneut Kevin Wieland, den Gründer von OpenWB, zu Gast, um über die Entwicklungen im Bereich der bidirektionalen Wallboxen und deren Anwendung im Alltag zu sprechen. Angesichts des neuen Angebots von BMW, das bidirektionales Laden über eine DC-Wallbox ermöglicht, erörtern wir die Unterschiede zwischen AC- und DC-Ladetechnologien, welche Möglichkeiten OpenWB-Nutzer haben und was es für die Integration in heimische Energiemanagementsysteme bedeutet. Wir beginnen mit einem Rückblick auf die Fortschritte, die seit unserem letzten Gespräch vor über anderthalb Jahren gemacht wurden. Kevin gibt einen Einblick in die Anzahl der im Markt befindlichen Wallboxen und die wachsende Akzeptanz in der B2B- und B2C-Anwendung. Insbesondere erläutert er, dass OpenWB mittlerweile über zehntausend Wallboxen verkauft hat und sich in Richtung intelligenter Ladeinfrastruktur weiterentwickelt hat. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Entwicklung ist die Passive Speichersteuerung, die es den Nutzern ermöglicht, Strompreisschwankungen effektiv zu nutzen. Ein zentrales Thema der Diskussion ist das bidirektionale Laden, das es Nutzern ermöglicht, ihre Elektrofahrzeuge nicht nur aufzuladen, sondern auch als Energiespeicher für das Zuhause zu nutzen. Kevin erklärt die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, die mit AC- und DC-Ladetechnologien verbunden sind, besonders in Bezug auf Effizienz und Funktionalität. Zudem klärt er über die aktuellen Herausforderungen in Deutschland auf, die sich aus regulatorischen Vorgaben und technischen Standards ergeben. Im Laufe des Gesprächs kommen wir auch auf praktische Anwendungen zu sprechen, etwa wie die Integration von Speicherlösungen mit Photovoltaikanlagen und Wallboxen das Nutzererlebnis verbessern kann. Wir erörtern verschiedene Konzepte der Energiegemeinschaften und die potenziellen finanziellen Vorteile, die durch intelligente Energiemanagementsysteme und bidirektionales Laden entstehen könnten. Kevin beschreibt, wie Unternehmen und Privathaushalte von dieser Technologie profitieren können, insbesondere durch die Nutzung von überschüssiger Energie. Ein weiterer spannender Aspekt ist die Zukunft des bidirektionalen Ladens. Kevin äußert sich dazu, was Nutzer hinsichtlich der Entwicklungen in den kommenden Jahren erwarten können und welche Fahrzeugtechnologien dabei eine Rolle spielen könnten. Die Diskussion beleuchtet auch, dass während einige Autofirmen bereits Fortschritte im Bereich bidirektionales Laden gemacht haben, der umfassende Rollout und die breite Akzeptanz noch in den Kinderschuhen stecken.

As the federal government races to adopt AI, many agencies are looking to buy and build the same exact solutions. Recognizing this, the General Services Administration earlier this year launched USAi, a platform that offers agencies access to leading commercial AI models that they can deploy in a streamlined manner, eliminating redundancy across government and leading to greater efficiencies at scale. Zach Whitman, chief data scientist and chief AI officer for the GSA, recently joined me for a discussion at the Agentic AI Government Summit and Jamfest in Washington, D.C., to highlight the USAi effort, how it's progressing, the challenges GSA faces and what's next. The Department of Health and Human Services has tapped DOGE affiliate Zachary Terrell to be its chief technology officer, sources told FedScoop. Terrell's CTO title was confirmed by three officials, who were granted anonymity to be more candid. Taking on the role of CTO comes after his involvement in Department of Government Efficiency work at both HHS and the National Science Foundation, including the cancellation of grants at the science agency. One of those sources told FedScoop that Terrell has been in the technology chief role since the beginning of this month and is still at the NSF as well. While his leadership role is new, Terrell has previously been involved in work at HHS, including as a member of the department's DOGE team, according to a recent legal filing by the government. Per that document, Terrell was listed as one of the 10 team members given access to at least one sensitive system as part of the DOGE work. Specifically, Terrell was one of five team members who weren't directly employed by the U.S. DOGE Service — the White House home for the group. Congress is poised to make yet another run at legislation to reform agency software purchasing practices, with the reintroduction in the House last week of the Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets Act. The SAMOSA Act, which passed the House last December, would require federal agencies to comprehensively assess their software licensing practices, a move aimed at curbing duplicative tech, streamlining future purchases and reducing IT costs. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, said in a press release: “The GAO has found the federal government spends more than $100 billion annually on information technology and cybersecurity, including software licenses. Far too often, taxpayer dollars are wasted on these systems and licenses agencies fail to use.” The SAMOSA Act, Mace goes on to say, “requires agencies to account for existing software assets and consolidate purchases: reducing redundancy, increasing accountability, and saving potentially billions for American taxpayers.” Also in this episode: Salesforce Global Digital Transformation Executive Nadia Hansen joins SNG host Wyatt Kash in a sponsored podcast discussion on how Agentic AI is reshaping the way government teams work and why agencies need top-level sponsorship, transparent governance and workforce training to realize its potential.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 128-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 26,067 on turnover of 10-billion N-T. The market's recent record breaking winning streak stuttered on Wednesday and it closed slightly lower, as investors took cues from a decline on Wall Street overnight amid concerns about overvalued equity prices. Lai talks democracy UNGA side event President Lai Ching-te has warned that the expansion of authoritarian regimes is undermining the international order and urged democracies to strengthen cooperation in response. In a prerecorded address to the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit, Lai said the "international order is being undermined" as "geopolitical tensions rise and authoritarian regimes converge (聚集) and expand." According to Lai, "democratic societies are now more heavily targeted by disinformation and other forms of external interference, posing a serious challenge to global peace." It is the second time Lai has addressed the Concordia Annual Summit with a prerecorded message. Free flu vaccines from next week The government will be rolling out phase (階段) one of it's annual free flu vaccine program next Wednesday. Those eligible include minors from 6 months old through senior high school; seniors aged 65 and over; medical workers; high-risk individuals; pregnant women and parents of babies under 6 months old. The second phase of the free flu vaccine program will begin on November 1 - when people aged between 50 and 64 will also be eligible for a shot. Rollout of phase one of the program comes as the Centers for Disease Control is warning that this year's flu season has now entered an epidemic phase. Ukraine President Warns World of Arms Race Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is telling world leaders that the world is in “the most destructive (破壞性的) arms race in human history." He called on the international community to act against Russia now, asserting that Vladimir Putin wants to expand his war in Europe. Zelenskyy's comments came a day after he met with President Donald Trump, who expressed support for Ukraine's efforts and criticized Russia. Trump said Tuesday that he believed Ukraine could win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leader's repeated calls for Kyiv to make concessions to end the war. Zelenskyy said international institutions like the U.N. are weak and today “Weapons decide who survives.” Texas immigration facility shooting leaves two victims dead Three people have died - including the attacker- after a shooting by a suspected sniper at an immigration facility in Texas. The gunman is dead from a self-inflicted (自己造成的) gunshot wound after the incident. Charlotte North reports from Washington Ecuador to Offer More Land for Oil Exploration Ecuador's plans to offer dozens of blocks of land for oil exploration for more than $47 billion has prompted opposition from seven Indigenous peoples in the Amazon. Those groups say 18 of the proposed blocks overlap their ancestral territories and that they were not consulted. Government officials say their plan is key to modernizing (現代化) an oil sector that supplies Ecuador's top export. The dispute comes amid a state of emergency and a national strike over fuel prices, extractive (提取的) projects and the government's failure to honor a referendum limiting drilling in Yasuni National Park.

Themes tackle drama head-on, inspired by Cardi's real-life chaos—from her fourth pregnancy announcement (first with Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots WR) to a September 2025 courtroom win dismissing an assault lawsuit from a security guard.Family spotlight: With ex Offset, daughters Kulture (7), Blossom (1), son Wave (4); Diggs has daughter Nova (b. 2016). Star-studded features include Janet Jackson (historic generational collab on “Principal”), Lizzo (“What's Goin On”), Selena Gomez (“Pick It Up”), Megan Thee Stallion (“WAP”), Kehlani (“Safe”), Summer Walker (“Dead,” “Shower Tears”), Tyla (“Nice Guy”), Cash Cobain (“Better Than You”), and Lourdiz (“On My Back”). Standouts: Hard-hitting “Outside” (lead single, June 20, 2025, viral Hot 100 top-10), radio-ready “Imaginary Playerz” (August 15 single), and “Safe” (third single drop).Controversy brews over including old hits “WAP” (8x Platinum) and “Up” (2x Platinum)—Cardi clapped back on X in June 2025: “WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, they deserve a home… Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it!!!” Rollout vibes: Washington Heights “Bodega Baddie” pop-up (September 13), U.S. meet-and-greet tour (September 19-25), subway skits, and street sales echoing her Bronx roots.Cultural quake: Positions Cardi as self-aware icon, shrugging sophomore slump with assured mid-section fire (per Clash). Critics praise seamless old-new integration. Caps with Little Miss Drama Tour—her first arena run, 30+ dates starting February 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, CA, hitting LA, Chicago, NYC, Toronto, ending April 2026 in Atlanta, GA. Analytic Dreamz unpacks milestones, collabs, singles, and narrative spectacle in Cardi's bold 2025-26 era.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Honestly you guys, we spend a good portion of the episode fangirling over Ethel Cain, but that's not all. We dive into Taylor's current album rollout (are we ruining the joy of music by trying to crack every code?), the limits of stan culture (we've GOT to cool it), and the unfolding Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain discourse (a.k.a. the Kendrick vs. Drake drama for sad girls). We wrap things up with a full recap of the Ethel Cain concert, and spoiler alert, it was nothing short of transformative.

Andy and Brendan return to unpack Brian Rolapp's presser at East Lake ahead of the 2025 Tour Championship. Brendan is in especially high spirits following a strong start from Jacob Bridgeman who has found himself in contention to win the FedEx Cup after one round in Atlanta. The bulk of this episode is spent recapping Rolapp's press conference and discussing his first orders of business as CEO of the PGA Tour. It sounds like major changes are coming and Andy, Brendan, and PJ wonder where Rolapp and his newly formed committee will begin. Whether it's taking a piece of revenue from majors, various media rights deals, or shrinking the Tour even more, Rolapp seems eager to shake things up. The back half of this show previews the LIV Team Championship in Plymouth, Michigan. The event will be LIV's 50th tournament, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder whether the league will make it to 100 events. Brendan runs through some all-time LIV stats, as this golf entity actually has accurate bookkeeping - a rarity these days! Jon Rahm has come down from Mt. Everest and made an interesting draft choice when choosing his first-round opponent, drawing comparisons to his beloved Arizona Diamondbacks. We will be back on Monday to break down golf's Super Bowl in full after a new FedEx Cup champion is crowned at East Lake on Sunday night.

One of the best parts of homeschooling is the freedom to start the year in a way that works for your family. Instead of overwhelming everyone with a full schedule on day one, you can begin with connection and fun—like a “Not Back to School” outing, a day of games, or a creative project. Personal notes to each child, wish lists of activities, and a few well-chosen dates on the calendar can keep momentum going all year. By adding subjects gradually, stocking up on creative supplies, and valuing the experience of learning, you set the tone for a joyful, sustainable year.In this episode, we share practical tips, creative ideas, and mindset shifts to help you roll out your homeschool year gently while building curiosity, creativity, and connection. Listen in for ways to make your start feel exciting and doable—for both you and your kids.Resources:Find Prang watercolors, Prismacolor pencils, and other irresistible art supplies in the Brave Writer Book ShopFall class registration is open!
