The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.​MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.

In December 2025, Slovenia completed its two-year term on the United Nations Security Council-participating in 558 formal meetings and 238 consultations of the Security Council, and so much more. Throughout its term, Slovenia addressed the most pressing issues, upheld its values, and shared its expertise globally to maintain international peace and security.rnrnMore recently, in its final month as a member of the UN Security Council, Slovenia held the Presidency for the second time. A visit to Syria and Lebanon was on the agenda, as well as topics related to Bosnia, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, and others. At the helm is Ambassador Samuel ?bogar, who brings a wealth of policy knowledge and experience to the table. There may be few others with such timely insights on global affairs that have recently dominated the headlines.rnrnIn addition to his term in the Security Council, Ambassador ?bogar has had an impressive diplomatic career. He has served as Slovenia's Foreign Minister, Deputy Foreign Minister, Ambassador to the US, and Head of the EU Delegation to Kosovo and North Macedonia.

This Valentine's Day, we invite you to step into one of the most extraordinary love stories in contemporary art — a story where passion became performance and devotion became artistic legacy. In this intimate and thought-provoking episode of Feel Slovenia the podcast, we explore the powerful intersection of love, risk and radical creativity.At its heart is Art Vital, the landmark exhibition at Cukrarna in Ljubljana, which traces the groundbreaking collaborative work of Marina Abramović and Ulay, who were partners in life as much as in art — living nomadically in a van, placing absolute trust in one another and testing the limits of endurance, vulnerability and connection. In this deeply personal conversation, Marina Abramović, arguably the world's most famous living artist, reflects on how they met, how their creative alliance took shape, and what it meant to make art at a time when performance had no market, no clear institutional support and no safety net. What drove them forward was a shared vision — radical, uncompromising and profoundly human.The episode also illuminates Slovenia's vibrant contemporary art landscape — from Moderna galerija and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova in Ljubljana to the forthcoming museum in Bled — underscoring the country's growing role as a compelling cultural destination in Europe.Feel Slovenia the Podcast is brought to you by the Slovenian Tourist Board and hosted by Dr Noah Charney.Sound Production: Urska Charney For more inspirational content, check out www.slovenia.info and our social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Tripadvisor.

Concursurile de sărituri cu schiurile de la trambulina normală de la Jocurile olimpice nu aveau cum să nu se soldeze cu surprize. La individual, pe primul loc s-a situat un german care recunoaște că are frică de înălțime. În proba mixtă de sărituri, românii au terminat pe locul 12, ceea ce este încurajator ținând cont că Festivalul Olimpic al Tineretului European se va organiza la anul la Brașov. La Jocurile olimpice de iarnă de la Milano-Cortina avem parte de performanțe uimitoare. De exemplu, Philipp Raimund, a devenit campion olimpic la sărituri cu schiurile deși nu era considerat favorit. Ce-i drept, germanul concurează la cel mai înalt nivel din 2019, dar nu a obținut niciodată vreo victorie în Cupa Mondială sau alte competiții importante. Cele mai bune rezultate ale sale au fost 4 prezențe pe podium, prea puțin pentru ca cineva să-l fi inclus pe lista favoriților la Predazzo, acolo unde se desfășoară săriturile. În plus, în sesiunea de antrenamente, Raimund a avut rezultate modeste. La concurs însă, exact când a contat cel mai mult, a reușit să-și depășească limitele. Sportivul originar din Oberstdorf, în vârstă de 25 de ani, a impresionat prin constanță și execuții sigure, cu sărituri de 102 și 106,5 metri, suficiente pentru a-l propulsa pe cea mai înaltă treaptă a podiumului olimpic. Philippe are frică de înălțime! Ceea ce depășește orice imaginație este faptul că Philippe stă rău la un capitol la care toți cei care s-au apucat de acest sport nu au vreo problemă. Germanul, are, nici mai mult nici mai puțin, rău de înălțime. Boala se numește acrofobie și o suferă cei care au o teamă intensă de situații care implică înălțimi, cum ar fi să se afle pe munte, la un etaj înalt într-o clădire sau când folosesc o scară. Chiar Philippe a recunoscut că are această fobie, una care în trecut l-a împiedicat să ia startul în anumite competiții. Ultima dată când s-a retras din cauza fricii de înălțime a fost acum mai puțin de un an, la o etapă de Cupă Mondială, cea de la Planica în Slovenia. Atunci, neamțul a explicat că pe trambulinele mici, cum a fost și cea de la Predazzo, nu prea are probleme, dar când trebuie să sară de pe trambulinele foarte mari, care se folosesc mai ales la Cupa Mondială, în concursurile de zbor cu schiurile, uneori nu-și mai poate controla corpul. El a povestit că de obicei e sigur pe el, dar sunt și situații când are probleme la zbor. Practic, corpul său reacționează fără să-l poată controla și de aceea nu riscă în condițiile în care nu știe dacă mai este el pilotul. Dacă poate reacționa sau se lasă în voia sorții. Vă dați seama cât de umilitor este pentru un săritor să ia telescaunul și la coborâre, nu numai la urcare. Cum s-or uita ceilalți competitori la el? Raimund a obținut rezultatul carierei La Pedrazzo pe trambulina normală de 90 de metri, Philippe Raimund nu a avut nicio problemă cu frica de înălțime, ba chiar a obținut rezultatul carierei cu un total de 274,1 puncte. Acesta l-a depășit cu 3,4 puncte pe Kacper Tomasiak, un polonez de numai 19 ani, care nu ajunsese niciodată nici măcar în manșa a doua a unei etape din Cupa Mondială. Bronzul a fost împărțit de un japonez și un elvețian care nu sunt în top 10. Slovenul Domen Prevc, marele favorit, a terminat abia pe locul 6. Deși e clar că alcătuirea podiumului în primul concurs masculin de la Jocuri e o surpriză, rezultatul are o explicație. În Cupa Mondială se concurează foarte rar pe trambuline atât de mici cum e cea normală de la Predazzo, astfel că marile staruri cum ar fi Prevc, Kobayashi, Lanisek, Tschofenig, Hoerl sau Kraft nu sunt obișnuite și nu reușesc să se adapteze la timp. Aceștia își pot lua revanșa în concursul pe trambulina mare, cea de 160 de metri, de la Jocurile Olimpice, care va avea loc luni, 16 februarie. România pe locul 12 la proba pe echipe mixte Cât despre români, aceștia au obținut un rezultat onorabil în proba de echipe mixte la sărituri cu schiurile, pe trambulina normală HS107, aceeași pe care a evoluat și germanul Raimund la individual. România a ocupat locul 12, un loc obținut după prima manșă, cu 393,1 puncte, ratând calificarea în manșa finală în care au intrat primii 8. Este pentru prima dată la o ediție de Jocuri Olimpice, când România a aliniat la start o echipă completă în această probă mixtă, unde a reușit să califice câte doi sportivi, atât la feminin, cât și la masculin. Echipa a fost formată din doi sportivi cu experiență olimpică: Daniela Toth, aflată la a treia participare la Jocuri, și Daniel Cacina, cu două prezențe la Olimpiadele albe. Alături de ei au concurat doi sportivi care au trăit pentru prima dată emoțiile unei întreceri olimpice: Mihnea Spulber și Delia Folea. Toți cei patru au contribuit cu câte o săritură și au arătat că pot face față atmosferei și rigorilor unei competiții olimpice. Acest rezultat marchează o premieră și dă mari speranțe pentru viitor, având în vedere că suntem la prima participare de acest gen, iar la anul, la Festivalul olimpic al tineretului european care se va desfășura în România, săritorii români pot obține rezultate bune pe trambulina de la Râșnov.

Katja Hrobat Virloget"Esodo. Il silenzio di chi resta"Traduzione Lucia Gaja ScuteriBottega Errante Edizioniwww.bottegaerranteedizioni.itIo avevo chiesto a casa, avevo fatto delle domande, me lo ricordo, nel '54, '55, perché in prima elementare eravamo in quarantatré, ma ogni giorno mancava qualcuno. E io tornavo a casa e dicevo: “Mamma, non c'è questo e questo, non c'è Vinicio, non c'è Lucio, non c'è più Maria, ma dove sono andati?”. “Ah, sì” mi diceva “vedrai che torneranno”. Ma io ero piccola, vivevamo molto isolati… Guardi, ora le dirò una cosa: io l'esodo l'ho scoperto soltanto quando ho letto i libri di Tomizza. E questo all'Università di Belgrado! Non se ne parlava, ecco.Un'antropologa e ricercatrice indaga le memorie dei rimasti dopo l'esodo: uomini e donne che nei turbolenti anni del secondo dopoguerra non hanno lasciato l'Istria assieme a gran parte della comunità italiana per raggiungere l'Italia; persone che sono rimaste in Jugoslavia e da maggioranza sono diventate minoranza. Voci scomode sia per chi vorrebbe raccontare l'esodo solo come migrazione di vittime sia per chi invece lo intende solo come opzione di scelta. Voci ridotte al silenzio per decenni che finalmente raccontano la propria storia.Nel complesso mosaico di ciò che è stato l'esodo giuliano-dalmata, si inserisce ora un tassello mancante: il racconto dei destini delle persone comuni che rimasero, che si adattarono, che ricostruirono una società assieme a coloro che arrivarono dall'interno della Jugoslavia a colonizzare il “selvaggio West” istriano.Un racconto composto da testimonianze toccanti, raccolte in dieci anni con rigoroso metodo antropologico nell'area litoranea slovena e con un obiettivo principale: abbandonare gli stereotipi e lasciare finalmente parlare il silenzio.Katja Hrobat Virloget  (Koper/Capodistria, 1976) Professoressa ordinaria e direttrice del dipartimento di Antropologia e Studi culturali della facoltà di Studi umanistici dell'Università del Litorale di Koper/Capodistria.

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

On February 16 Netflix will release “Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model” — a three-part series on the controversial modelling competition. Tyra Banks, the supermodel who hosted the show, features prominently in the ANTM documentary, along with former judges and coaches Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker and Miss J. We look at why Tyra might want to offer her own take on past controversies. Melania Trump, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Billie Eilish are among other celebrities who feature in documentaries, docu-series or concert films. But why are these celebrity docs so popular — and what's the business motivation behind them? BBC reporter William Lee Adams joins us to explain.We also discuss “Melania,” which follows First Lady of the United States Melania Trump during the twenty days leading up to President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025. During the film she discusses her background as an immigrant from Slovenia and the painful loss of her mother Amalija Knavs. The film also captures intimate moments within the Trump family, helping showcase the president as a person rather than a politician. We assess whether the sympathetic portrayal will change opinions in a divided America.And what about music stars? We look at how concert films — Beyoncé's “Renaissance: The Film,” Billie Eilish's “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” and Taylor Swift's “The Eras Tour” — can help singers mythologise themselves while also bringing in a lot of revenue.

Snow here isn't background scenery; it's a way of life. In this episode, we step into Slovenia's winter pulse, where ski jumping is a family ritual, weekends revolve around the forecast, and visitors are welcomed not just as guests, but as participants. From the lively slopes of Kranjska Gora and Krvavec to the serene cross-country trails of Pokljuka and the valley beauty of Jezersko, we explore the most accessible, rewarding ways to ski, glide, sled, and enjoy winter – without the crowds.Two elite athletes, both with their family roots from Gorenjska, a region named among the Best Places to Go in Europe in 2026 by Condé Nast Traveler, guide us through this landscape from opposite sides of the Atlantic.Hockey legend Anže Kopitar, who built his career in the United States, shares what he recommends to friends when they visit Slovenia: basing themselves in Bled or Ljubljana, day-tripping across Gorenjska, and balancing crisp mountain mornings with riverside coffee and Michelin-starred dinners. He reflects on bringing the Stanley Cup to Lake Bled and explains why Slovenia's small size is one of its greatest strengths – where the sea, the Alps, and the capital city are all within easy reach.We also head to Planica, Slovenia's iconic ski-flying valley, where visitors can walk beneath the legendary hill, tour the Nordic Museum, experience indoor skydiving, or zipline across the valley for a ski jumper's-eye view.Slalom racer Lila Lapanja offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at elite alpine skiing. Raised in Lake Tahoe and now competing for Slovenia, she speaks openly about her decision to return to her roots and join the Slovenian national ski team. She shares her personal life story, her strong USA–Slovenia connection, and what it takes to run a lean, independent “Team Lila” – from coaching and ski service to logistics and mental preparation. We dive into race-day details: breathing cues at the start gate, trusting feel as light and ruts shift, and how hundredths of a second can define an entire season. If you're planning a winter holiday, think Slovenia: come for the snow, stay for the culture, and leave with a new respect for mountains that shape everyday life.Enjoyed the show?

Cleveland Kurentovanje Northeast Ohio is home to the largest population of Slovenians outside of Slovenia, roughly 47,000 people. It's no surprise that it's also home to the largest winter festival celebrating Slovenian arts and culture outside of that European country. Cleveland Kurentovanje, also known as the Slovenian Mardi Gras, begins this weekend. Its a multi-day festival that celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The festival has been volunteer-run for 14 years, and is a program of the Slovenian Museum and Archives, which has a new exhibit part of the festival celebrating the life and legacy of one famous Clevelander of Slovenian and Serbian heritage — George Voinovich, who was a Republican mayor of Cleveland, governor of Ohio and U.S. senator. The exhibit is called "Together We Can Do It!" and honors Voinovich's passion for public service and global cooperation. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll learn more about the festival and exhibit by hearing from some of the organizers joining me in studio. Guests: - Suzana Češarek, Consul General of the Republic of Slovenia in Cleveland - Greg Nosan, President, Slovenian Museum & Archives - Kathy Walters, Member, Cleveland Kurentavanje Executive Committee Terry Pluto's new book on the Browns Sports commentator Terry Pluto has a new book out that builds on previous releases "False Start" and "Browns Blues" and arrives at another turning point for the Browns. With a new head coach, a reshuffled team, and a new stadium on the way, Pluto explores the questions fans never stop asking, such as "Why can't the Browns find their quarterback?," "When will there be a Super Bowl run," and "Why does this team still inspire such fierce loyalty?" People may know Terry Pluto from his weekly "View from Pluto" segment with Ideastream "All Things Considered" host Amanda Rabinowitz. He's also a longtime columnist for The Plain Dealer, and formerly for the Akron Beacon Journal. Pluto will talk about his new book, and the moment Browns fans find themselves in. Guest: - Terry Pluto, Sports Commentator & Author, "Why Can't This Team Just Find a Quarterback?” The Menu: Sports Bars Later in the show, regardless of how they're playing, many folks still tune in to watch the Browns each week. And that's good news for Cleveland's bars and restaurants. Whether it's to watch that team win or lose, or watch a Guardians game in the summer, a Major League Soccer game or even just get a basket of chicken wings, the sports bar remains a reliable fixture in Northeast Ohio. But is the sports bar still just cheap Budweiser's and guys yelling at a TV, or is it morphing into something else? On this week's installment of "The Menu," our food series in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine, we'll discuss a new sports bar in Lakewood, just ahead of the Olympics kicking off this Friday, and the Superbowl taking place on Sunday. Guests: - Will Hollingsworth, Owner, Buildings and Food

We're going to the Slovenian coast this week during the final years Yugoslavia with Ana Schnabl.  Dunja has finally launched her literary career, but the shadow and spectre of her brother's death haunts both her and her family. What happens when she returns to investigate her brother's death? And what happens when the truth becomes stranger than the fiction she writes? Ana Schnabl's novel is published by Divided Publishing. Ana is a Slovenian writer, and this is her second novel to be translated into English, by Rawley Grau. Her first novel to be translated into English was The Masterpiece, that time by David Limon. In Slovenia, she is a winner of Slovenia's prestigious literary prize, the Kresnik award. She's also a regular contributor to the journal The Guardian, writing on Balkan politics and culture.

Click here to send me a quick message :) I read a post this morning from someone in Slovenia who said we are "underreacting" here in the United States. In some cases, this may be true. But I also see a lot of people highly reacting to the immense onslaught of too much-ness that we're navigating right now.And in that reacting, it could be actively doing things, but it may also look like reactively numbing or shutting down completely.Because let's be honest, too much-ness is often... overwhelming.  Maybe we're not underreacting, maybe we're overwhelmed. And if so, that makes a LOT of sense.Can we normalize not feeling regulated right now? Like, how can we expect ourselves to be okay, really?But -- simultaneously, somehow, miraculously, nature continues. The sun shines, the moon returns. The earth is always here for us.That said, overwhelm is real, and exploring tools to help us understand our own personal relationship to it is what this week's guest, Sherene Cauley, brings.She researched overwhelm, and then created this beautiful image that she calls the Talisman against overwhelm.Such a creative way to bring interactive practice that encourages self-reflection into our daily lives.If you're in the murky muck right now and want to explore a creative path to deeper self-awareness and navigating overwhelm, this conversation is perfect for you.Resources:Grab a spot on the Natural Contraception waitlist (opens feb 8th 2026)Today's shownotes: Check out the Talisman of Overwhelm image + Sherene's links Episode 197: Somatic practices for healing childhood wounds using IFS with Kristen StakeEpisode 209: Sacred Rage with Andrea Thompson Episode 210: How to build capacity and resilienceIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Today's episode is with the extraordinary Eva Sajovic, an artist whose art works provoke questions about labour, value, and exchange. We talk about how growing up with her grandma in the countryside in Slovenia shapes not just what she makes, but how she makes it and how that early encounter with political rupture still informs her resistance to spectacle, speed, and extractive systems.  We unpack the emotional, ethical, and practical labour beneath participatory work, and talk candidly about teaching, money, sustainability, and authorship. Eva shares what shifted during her British School at Rome fellowship, and what it takes to build a practice that can hold complexity without collapsing. She also reflects on joining the Artist Mastermind Circle, and why vulnerability is essential to getting the work into the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Eva´s childhood experiences of scarcity and playing in freedom taught her to explore and be resourceful and that “makeshift” muscle is still at the core of her work.  When you move out of your body and into your head to “solve” the work, it tends to die. Instead let materials, repetition, instinct and sensation lead. Often, the images and ideas are already in your body, waiting for the right process to draw them out. If you work with people, factor in the emotional and ethical labour as part of the project, not an add-on. Build in support, debrief time, and clear roles.  BEST MOMENTS “Art is really about deep care and attention. About what you offer and what you are willing to hold.” “The images are in my body, not somewhere else. They are inside and they come out.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.evasajovic.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/eva_sajovic https://www.arts.ac.uk/whats-on/eva-sajovic-rise-and-fall-of-a-temple PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

On this episode of the Below the Radar B-Sides, we're joined by Ivana Filipovich, a Serbian-Canadian artist with a background in educational media, architecture, archaeology and design. We discuss her journey as an artist and her first graphic novel ‘What's Fear Got To Do With It?'

After a 20-year hiatus, during which she worked in educational media and communications at a Canadian university, she returned to cartooning. In the last few years, her comics were published in Sweden, Slovenia, and Serbia and were exhibited at the French Institute (L'Institut français) galleries in Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, and at the NOVA comic arts festival in Serbia. Deeply interested in psychology, her work aims predominantly to portray complex female characters and other underrepresented persons and groups. Mainly focused on slice-of-life stories, she occasionally ventures into other genres. Stylistically close to French and Italian cartooning, she uses both traditional and digital tools. Most recently, the Canada Council for the Arts has supported her exploration of 3D storyboarding.

This episode explores the architectural legacy of Jože Plečnik beyond Ljubljana and presents him as Slovenia's defining architect and a creator of a distinct national architectural language.Listeners are guided on day trips and longer journeys across Slovenia to discover Plečnik's lesser-known works. The main focus is Kamnik, including the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher in the Franciscan Church, described as a complete, immersive work of sacred art rich in symbolism, materials, light and craftsmanship. Other works in and around Kamnik include bridges, baptisteries, church renovations, private interiors, and the Royal Hunting Lodge at Kamniška Bistrica.The episode then highlights Plečnik's sensitivity to place in other regions: the Rosary Steps and church renovations in Kranj; a gothic-modern church renovation near Tolmin; the Church of the Holy Spirit in Bogojina in Prekmurje, which blends monumental form with local craft and tradition; funerary architecture in Ljutomer; and unrealised but influential plans in Bled, including the origins of today's Belvedere Pavilion.Throughout, the episode emphasises Plečnik's use of local materials, artisans, symbolism and reuse of existing structures, presenting his architecture as spiritual, human-scaled and deeply rooted in landscape and culture. Explore Slovenia through Plečnik's works outside the capital, one journey at a time!  Discover the monumental legacy of Jože PlečnikYou may also wish to listen to another podcast episode dedicated to Plečnik, featuring a conversation with Ana Porok of the Plečnik House Museum and Peter Krečič, former director of the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana.Feel Slovenia the Podcast is brought to you by the Slovenian Tourist Board and hosted by Dr Noah Charney.Sound Production: Urska Charney For more inspirational content, check out www.slovenia.info and our social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Tripadvisor.

This episode of The Green Insider featured an interview with Rod Baltzer, President and CEO of Deep Isolation, who discussed the company’s innovative approach to nuclear waste disposal using horizontal drilling techniques. Rod explained Deep Isolation’s solution for spent nuclear fuel disposal and their global consultancy work in nuclear decommissioning and waste management, highlighting projects in various countries and their collaboration with national radioactive waste management organizations Deep Isolation's Solution Proposes a less expensive, faster alternative using small, modular, and transportable disposal systems. Utilizes directional drilling to bury canisters with spent fuel up to 2 miles underground. Each borehole can be drilled in under 2 months, holds about 200 canisters, and 20 boreholes can accommodate 60 years of fuel from a large reactor. Global Consultancy Projects Deep Isolation consults internationally, including with the UK Decommissioning Authority, Estonia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. Recent work includes a U.S. grant to help Bulgaria align its regulations with International Atomic Energy Agency standards. Nuclear Waste Management Focus Consultancy covers regulatory gap analysis, geology, waste form safety, and economics. Collaborate's with national waste management organizations and advanced reactor companies like Kairos and Curio. Nuclear Energy's Role in Sustainability Nuclear energy is seen as essential for meeting future energy demands, especially for AI and data centers. Acceptance of nuclear energy depends on effective waste disposal solutions and public perception. European regulations penalize new nuclear projects without operational disposal facilities by 2050. Universal Canister System Deep Isolation's universal canister allows storage, transport, and disposal without repackaging, reducing costs and worker risk. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) SMRs offer market expansion potential due to their transportability and efficient construction. Deep Isolation can design disposal solutions for various SMR waste types, supporting both co-located and centralized repositories. The discussion concluded with insights on the future of nuclear energy, including its role in meeting growing energy demands and the importance of developing disposal solutions to increase its acceptance, with plans for a full-scale demonstration project in 2026.
