St. Jude’s Hospital in Fullerton had to partially evacuate after a bomb threat, and guests were left stranded when the hotel chain Sonder abruptly shut down one of its properties. Target is rolling out its “10-4” holiday strategy, and Conway floated the idea that he might—might—become an Anaheim Ducks fan. Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, joined us to talk about the incoming rain and what homeowners can actually do during a storm—mainly buckets, tarps, and sandbags—and what the right steps are after the weather clears to fix roof leaks, drainage issues, and water intrusion the proper way. The Conway Show “flipped” as Aldik Home set up their annual Christmas tree spectacular, and Dean & Conway chatted with Brian Gold and Rosie about holiday décor, lighting, and the art of making your home feel warm for the season. A major storm is expected to hit on Friday and Saturday, bringing heavy rain and potential flooding concerns across SoCal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sonder's bankruptcy has shaken the short-term rental world — and for good reason. Once the poster child of the “hotel-meets-Airbnb” model, Sonder's downfall marks a pivotal moment for operators everywhere. In this episode, AirDNA's Chief Economist Jamie Lane and co-host Scott Sage unpack what went wrong, what it signals for the rental arbitrage model, and how changing travel demand is reshaping the industry.From a surprising partnership failure with Marriott to the ripple effects in urban markets still struggling post-COVID, Jamie and Scott connect the dots between Sonder's story and broader market trends. They also dig into fresh October 2025 performance data, including occupancy declines, rate adjustments, and a critical PSA for hosts affected by Airbnb's new service fee model.The episode closes with a behind-the-scenes look at AirDNA's latest data model upgrades, revealing how machine learning is improving accuracy and trust in industry insights — setting the stage for even more powerful analytics ahead.You don't want to miss this episode — especially if you rely on rental data to guide your business decisions.Key Takeaways for STR Pros

British luxury department store Selfridges has just launched a Christmas campaign co-created with Disney across almost the entire Selfridges portfolio of in-store and digital media assets. Now it’s pushing harder into retail media – and looking for similarly deep relationships with select brands aiming to tap its 36 million annual customers. Selfridges head of brand partnerships Kate Eastop is driving that agenda – and bringing in more non-endemic brands, i.e. those it doesn’t stock in stores – into the retail media business. “I see this as a significant growth area for the business over the next few years”, says Eastop. So, she commissioned owned media advisor Sonder to develop a rate card for its physical and digital assets – and ensure everything is properly valued. The new rates will be live for 2026 and Eastop says the process has helped “establish Selfridges as a serious player in retail media” while bringing internal stakeholders together on the kind of assets and partnerships the luxury retailer will build – and what remains off limits. Sonder’s Jonathan Hopkins and Angus Frazer see momentum in the luxury retail media market as the supermarket and grocery sector matures. They say brands are willing to pay a higher premium to tap audiences that are more immersed in “retail theatre” experiences versus the transactional hit of the grocery aisle. “If you’re walking into a theatre of brands in a store like Selfridges, then there is immense dwell time,” per Hopkins. “You’re there to enjoy the shopping experience, not get out as quickly as possible – so those factors are considered in the valuation.” Sonder has benchmarked a global owned media asset pool of circa $12bn – and Frazer says the market is “approaching an inflection point” with in-store static and digital assets now presenting “the next wave of opportunity” for retail media networks versus commoditised low hanging fruit, like sponsored search and website product tiles. He says the department stores Sonder has worked with on owned media “typically top out at around 25 per cent of revenues being derived from non-endemic brands”. Key to netting that upside is not being too greedy and eroding both the customer experience, the value of the brand, and thereby undermining the sustainability of the retail media business. Their advice? Partner wisely. “Deep with a few can be better than light with many,” says Hopkins. “Find brands that are a really good fit with your customers and go deep in terms of those brand partnerships across the year. Find those mutually beneficial activations that are going to add value to your customers that you could never have achieved without that partnership. “If you manage to achieve that, it’s going to create a proven use case within the business, start to normalise behaviour for stakeholders who might have been resistant to it, and then make it easier for future growth.” Which is precisely the playbook that Selfridges is following – and carving out a deeper niche within the UK’s increasingly crowded retail media market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

U.S. travel companies are feeling the sting of fewer international visitors, Airbnb tests a hotel strategy in major cities, and Sonder's meteoric rise ends in collapse. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down what's behind the tourism slowdown, why Airbnb's next chapter might look more like Expedia, and what Sonder's downfall means for hospitality's tech-driven future.

On this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Brandreth Canaley are joined by Skift Senior Hospitality Reporter Sean O'Neill to unpack the breaking story of Marriott Bonvoy ending its licensing agreement with Sonder Inc. after the company defaulted on the deal. The partnership had been a much-needed lifeline for Sonder, allowing its apartment-style properties to be listed across Marriott's booking channels. But with the agreement now terminated, and Sonder's own website currently showing zero available listings, the situation is raising questions about the company's operations, liquidity, and future as a public brand. Marriott has said it's assisting guests with existing bookings made through its platforms, while those who booked via third parties should contact their providers directly. As this story continues to develop, Sean shares what's known so far, and the GMH crew digs into what this could signal for Marriott's extended-stay ambitions, Sonder's next move (if any at all), and how confidence in hotel–tech partnerships may shift in the days/weeks ahead.

Australië het drie spelers sonder toetservaring aangewys vir die eerste toets om die As teen Engeland wat die 21ste in Perth begin. Die aanvangskolwer Jake Weatherald en die snelboulers Sean Abbott en Brendan Doggett kan hul buiging maak. Marnus Labuschagne is teruggeroep, terwyl die veelsydige Mitch Marsh en Matt Renshaw oor die hoof gesien is. Steve Smith voer die span aan in die plek van die beseerde Pat Cummins. Hoofkeurder George Bailey het vertroue in Weatherald:

RISE Mzansi sê Suid-Afrika se gevangenisse is oorvol, met ongevonniste gevangenes wat aansienlik tot die krisis bydra. Mabine Seabe van die party sê volgens die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste se 2024/25-verslag is fasiliteite 61-persent bo kapasiteit, wat 65 000 gevangenes sonder beddens laat. Die Oos-Kaap staar die ergste oorbevolking in die gesig, met Butterworth se aanhoudingsfasiliteit wat 231-persent vol is. Seabe doen 'n beroep op alternatiewe vonnisoplegging, herstellende geregtigheid en maatreëls om die risiko te verminder dat gevangenes by bendes aansluit:

Send us a textDeuteronomium 31:6 “Wees sterk! Wees dapper en vol geloofsvertroue! Moenie bang wees vir al hierdie mense nie! Die Here jou God trek voor julle uit. Hy sal julle vyande verslaan. Hy sal julle nie in die steek laat nie. Julle is nie alleen nie. Die Here is saam met julle!” (DB) Dink ‘n bietjie terug aan ‘n tyd toe jy so gespanne en onseker was, dat jy net nie geweet hoe jy die krisis gaan hanteer nie. Hoe het jy gevoel toe daar 'n onseker gesondheidsdiagnose was, of 'n finansiële nood, of 'n verhouding, wat besig was om skeef te loop? Ek dink ons voel almal  onder sulke omstandighede baie onseker. Ek het onlangs 'n jong paartjie met hul vyfjarige dogter wat met  kanker gediagnoseer is, dopgehou. Eers was daar die indringende, pynlike en traumatiese toetse... en toe die finale diagnose en chemoterapie...Die gerusstellende teenwoordigheid van daardie kind se pa en ma, was deurslaggewend tot haar vermoë om deur daardie lewensbedreigende situasie te kom. Sonder hulle sou dit heeltemal ondraaglik gewees het.En as ons eerlik is, laat die dinge wat somtyds met ons gebeur, ons net so klein en kwesbaar soos daardie vyfjarige voel. Ons verkeer in ‘n maalkolk van dinge, wat ons nie kan begryp of hanteer nie, wat rondom ons dwarrel. Het jy ook al so gevoel? Op ‘n tyd toe die Israeliete op die drumpel gestaan het om die Beloofde Land binne te gaan, het Moses hulle betroubare leier, ‘n nuwe leier aangestel. Moses was oud en sy gesondheid was besig om agteruit te gaan en sy opvolger, Josua, moes die volk op ‘n onbekende pad lei. Kan jy jou voorstel hoe hy moes gevoel het in so 'n onseker en gevaarlike tyd in Israel se geskiedenis? Maar kyk wat sê Moses vir Josua en die volk:Deuteronomium 31:6 “Wees sterk! Wees dapper en vol geloofsvertroue! Moenie bang wees vir al hierdie mense nie! Die Here jou God trek voor julle uit. Hy sal julle vyande verslaan. Hy sal julle nie in die steek laat nie. Julle is nie alleen nie. Die Here is saam met julle!” (DB)Dit maak nie saak waardeur jy gaan nie, die Here jou God sal jou nooit verlaat nie. Nooit nie.Wees dus ook sterk en dapper. Moenie bang wees nie, die Here jou God is met jou. Hy sal jou nie in die steek laat of jou verlaat nie.Dis Sy Woord.

More than a dozen locations will be featured. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/soarin-across-america-at-disneyland-and-disney-world/ Southern Californians have been looking to the skies to get a glimpse of new possibilities coming to Disney Nighttime Entertainment. Recent drone testing in Santa Clarita, California has shown Disney characters from Peter Pan, to Moana, to Sorcerer Mickey, and more! Disney and ABC Studios own two lots on the Golden Oak Ranch where this testing is speculated to have taken place. To see what was being tested, check out the link in our show notes. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/22/is-this-video-a-major-clue-about-a-new-disney-drone-show/#more-1077132 https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disney-ranch-drones/ Something interesting that we learned when we were visiting is that Sip and Sonder, the coffee shop that was part of Parkside Market, had closed. In its place is Parkside Market Coffee & Tea. The location features hot and cold coffee and tea drinks, along with pastries, savory breakfast bites, and cinnamon rolls of different flavors. – https://www.micechat.com/425707-disneyland-update-halloweens-last-hurrah-holiday-sneak-peek-refurb-rush/ Last week, when we were in the park, we were able to catch a glimpse of Disney's partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This time, they partnered with some of the world's top creators to grant wishes for 40 kids at the ultimate Halloween experience. 16 kids met MrBeast with a scavenger hunt through the parks, A for Adley hosted a playdate with crafts, Disney dolls, and Rainbow Ghost Rescue. Mark Rober dropped eggs off the Millennium Falcon to teach families how to make contraptions to save their eggs from cracking. Chef Amaury Guichon did a live chocolate-making demo, Doctor Mike built a lightsaver, and San & Colby rode Haunted Mansion. Disney partners with Make-A-Wish to grant a wish for every hour of every day. – https://disneyparksblog.com/community-outreach/disney-make-a-wish-mrbeast-and-more-creators-grant-wishes-at-disneyland/ Last week, The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration taped segments for the holiday special overnight. D23 members could register to attend the event, which ran from 11pm to 6am. Guests were treated to performances by Nicole Scherzinger singing “O Holy Night” and “Mary Did You Know?” Gwen Stefani performed her new holiday song “Shake the Snow Globe” and “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.” – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-overnight-holiday-special-recording-recap/ Halloween is almost here, but the holiday season is quick to move on at the Disneyland Resort. 2025 Holiday Merchandise has arrived all over the resort. Some of the collections this year are the Mickey Mouse Family Christmas Collection, the Gingerbread Collection, the Snowman Trent Collection, Winter Scenic Collection, Disney Hanukkah Collection, Disney Holiday Haven Collection, Disney Winter Peppermint Collection, Disney Fair Isle Print Collection, and Disney Christmas Plaid Collection. – https://www.micechat.com/423292-disney-holiday-merchandise-2025/ SnackChat: Churro Talk with Vern Discussion Topic: Halloween Trip Recap and JPL Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Die meeste mense in die Westerse wêreld hou nie van enige beperkinge nie. Ons wil ons eie lewens lei, op ons eie manier. Grense is nie tralies nie; dit is die randstene van wysheid. Soos sypaadjies 'n pad veilig hou, 'n skildery eers tot sy reg kom in 'n raam, en musieknote jou gemoed streel wanneer dit in 'n bepaalde ritme en akkoord is. Sonder grense raak liefde goedkoop, werk 'n afgod, en plesier leeg. Hierdie generasie wil alles ervaar, vrees om iets te mis (FOMO - "fear of missing out"), met almal vriende wees, plesier najaag en bly lekker voel in die proses.In hierdie preek gaan ons kyk na die belangrikheid van GODDELIKE HEILIGE grense in ons lewens. Ons gaan ondersoek hoe God se grense ons nie beperk nie, maar ons bevry om in sy volheid te leef. Kom ons ontdek saam hoe ons deur die aanvaarding van God se grense, 'n lewe van oorvloed en vreugde kan lei. 

In hierdie boodskap dink ons aan hoe Paulus die realiteit beskryf van die geestelike aanslagof oorlog teen elke mens.

Jenny Johnson är projektledare för Energimarknadsinspektionens projekt att korta ledtiderna för tillstånd i samband med utbyggnaden av elnäten. Det är ett politiskt hett och komplext uppdrag som involverar många olika intressenter från både myndigheter och näringslivet. I detta poddavsnitt berättar Jenny om hur de lyckats få de olika intressenterna att samlas kring ett gemensamt syfte och hur de byggt ett starkt lag som förmår driva frågan framåt. Prestigelöshet, laganda och ständig kommunikation är några av nycklarna till framgång i projektet. På sonder.se finns ett case från en föregångare till Jennys uppdrag, där Sonder bidrog till att kartlägga tillståndsprocessen. Där finns även tidigare poddavsnitt och ett inspelat webbinarium om att bygga handlingskraftiga organisationer som har beröring med metoder och filosofi i Jennys projekt.

Oktoberfest season is the BEST season, and this has become a must visit festival for me every year - Oktoberfest at Sonder!

Stefan Rachubiński – z pozoru był przykładnym obywatelem, mężem i ojcem. W rzeczywistości idealnie maskującym się groźnym mordercą i maniakiem seksualnym. Grasował w lasach w pobliżu rodzinnego Osielska i Bydgoszczy. Na cel brał kobiety, najczęściej prostytutki. Śledztwo prowadzące do jego pochwycenia było jednym z największych w historii bydgoskiej milicji. Było ono pełne błędów i niedopatrzeń, ale w końcu doprowadziło do pojmania Wampira z Osielska, czy Kuby Rozpruwacza, jak mówili o nim okoliczni mieszkańcy i lokalne media.

In this episode, I'm joined by pelvic health physical therapist and one of my friends, Amelia May! Amelia May is the owner of Sonder Pelvic Therapy & Wellness and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in pelvic health for the last 5 years. Before launching Sonder, Amelia served as Dallas Clinic Director at Genesis PT & Wellness and later Co-Owner of the Colorado branch, where she helped build a practice known for its whole-body, one-on-one, personalized approach to pelvic floor care. Her work centers on more than just alleviating pain—she's passionate about helping people feel fully supported, validated, and equipped to reclaim the activities they love. Amelia especially enjoys working with exercise enthusiasts, from CrossFit and running to Pilates and barre, helping them move with confidence through every stage of life! (which I love!) In this episode, she breaks down the myths and misconceptions around pelvic floor health. We dive into why Kegels aren't always the answer, how your core and pelvic floor work together during training, the changes women experience in perimenopause, and what every mom should know about postpartum healing.Whether you're an athlete, a new mom, or navigating perimenopause, this conversation will help you better understand your body and take simple steps to feel stronger, supported, and symptom-free.Connect with Sonder Pelvic Therapy & Wellness:Website: sonderpt.comInstagram: dr.amelia_dptConnect with Me:Instagram: sarahtmwellness1:1 Coaching: Schedule a free discovery call! Join my newsletter!!!!!Zebra- My favorite lip gloss & deodorant- code: sarahdavies LiveHealthIllie - All low-toxic finds in one shop- code:sarahdavies Sun & Moo Tallow-Based Skincare - Discount code: sarahdavies Prime Protein- 15% off Discount (my fave protein powder) Buoy Electrolytes (no sugar, 87+ trace minerals)- 20% off Namarie Activewear - Code: sarahtmwellness10 (non-toxic)Find the Good Brand - Code: sarahdavies10Royo Bread- High Protein, High Fiber Bread & Bagels- Code: sarahda10If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to share it with a friend or a family member and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform!

What does it look like to trust God when your heart is shattered?In this special Sonder episode of Anchor & Waves, Dawn Sparks joins Jacque and Stacy and shares her story of deep loss and quiet strength after her 15-year-old son, Julian, died by suicide. With deep compassion and authenticity, she invites us into the sacred space of grief, healing, and unshakable faith.Dawn reminds us that daily bread really is daily—and that God's presence shows up in the ordinary moments, not just the mountaintops. Through her story, you'll discover how to walk with others through tragedy, how to keep your eyes on Jesus through the darkest nights, and how even the most broken stories can become part of God's redemptive plan.

After another clash with the Jackals, the cadre beats a hasty retreat from Sonder in search of the pet keeper, a mysterious road mage Ashwynn suspects holds clues to the secrets near the Cartographer's Mount. Though all signs point west, the party first returns to Myth, where Cecil, Sir Rose, and Cloudburst report to the Queen and her royal council, sharing the revelations unearthed in Sonder.

Vandag se gas is Suid-Afrika se eie legendariese privaatspeurder — 'n skaars glimlagger, 'n meester van ondersoek, en die ewige behoeder van geregtigheid.Hy het al in die in die oë van duisternis gekyk sonder om sy eie oë te knip...En tog dra hy sonbrille — want hy weet: lig is gevaarliker as skaduwee.But who is the man agter the bril?

What does it take to manage 420 apartments and create a million memorable moments? On this episode, host Dan Ryan sits down with Sebastián Torres-Calderón, the CEO of Stay U-nique, an award-winning short-term rental company in Spain. Sebastián shares his journey from customer journey intern to CEO and reveals how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) helped his company not only survive the chaos of COVID but quadruple in size. The conversation dives deep into how Stay U-nique uses data and technology to create a frictionless guest experience, the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry, and the political headwinds facing the short-term rental market. Sebastián offers a unique perspective on the debate between prohibition and regulation and provides a powerful case for why collaboration between the private and public sectors is the key to solving housing inventory issues.Takeaways: Track key metrics (KPIs) across all departments, not just leadership, to identify and address recurring issues. Use data to drive improvements in guest experience, operations, and communication.Use frameworks such as the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to set clear goals, break them into manageable projects (“rocks”), and review progress regularly. Involve the entire team in the process for maximum impact.Don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn, and adapt. Regularly test new approaches, measure their impact, and iterate quickly. Use technology to streamline operations (e.g., remote locks, cleaning apps) and enhance the guest experience, but ensure it remains personal and responsive.Success takes time and consistent effort. Focus on long-term growth rather than immediate results.Empower every team member with ownership of projects and clear goals to drive company-wide improvement.Quote of the Show:“To take that time and make it something that they will remember forever, and get to do that every day, that's amazing.” - Sebastián Torres-CalderónLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebasti%C3%A1n-torres-calderon-serkovic-310044121/ Website: https://www.stay-u-nique.com/en/ Shout Outs:0:53 - World Travel Awards https://www.worldtravelawards.com/ 10:46 - EOS https://www.eosworldwide.com/ 12:02 - Airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/ 13:43 - Traction https://amzn.to/4fEGOTZ 13:43 - Gino Wickman https://www.ginowickman.com/ 14:53 - Mitcham Rentals https://www.mitchamgrouprentals.com/ 16:23 - Enrique Alcántara https://www.linkedin.com/in/enrique-alc%C3%A1ntara-b9623b/ 24:28 - What the Heck is EOS? https://amzn.to/4fGGXGC 40:49 - Sonder https://www.sonder.com/ 40:56 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi 

The cadre finally comes face-to-face with Aster Guios, the infamous traitor king of Sonder. Alongside him stand the town's corrupt officials, and a mysterious red-haired stranger named Anastasia whose influence runs deeper than expected. Their mission: deliver a letter from the Queen of Myth to Aster himself. But will he receive it with grace… or with wrath? Steel may yet be drawn, and the fate of Sonder hangs in the balance.

This Monday, the GMH Short-Term Rental Crew, with Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, and Jamie Lane dive into the latest moves shaping the STR and travel landscape. Airbnb rolls out its new “Reserve Now, Pay Later” option, signaling a shift toward more flexible booking terms that could boost conversions for longer stays. BNPL trends are expanding across airlines, hotels, and cruises, raising questions about guest spending habits and potential adoption in vacation rentals. Expedia Group makes a strategic design hire with Rachel Been as SVP, underscoring the power of user experience in driving loyalty. Sonder faces a leadership shake-up with the departure of CFO Michael Hughes, while Vrbo's WeatherPromise program offers automatic payouts for rain-affected stays—no claims required—hinting at new ways to protect and reassure travelers. The hosts unpack what these changes mean for operators, platforms, and guests, and explore how innovation, design, and traveler trust are becoming critical in the competition for bookings.

VIDEO PREMIERES August 11th, 2025: https://youtu.be/QAjVMSWSFKU?si=gvoczMn002NVqXtg August brings a HAUNTOMANTIK look toward a seachange for PRAGMAGICK PODCAST and https://wethehallowed.org subscribers. The first few August uploads will be re-purposed, edited, transmuted and mutated transmissions originally found through https://patreon.com/pragmagick as a way to catch this current up before brand new transmissions and major announcements... A major tide is churning, both above and below, for Revelator Rosz. Of course, it just so happens to idio-synch with Rosz's anarchic metaphysical and artistic praxis, HAUNTOMANCY, in that a forthcoming graphic primer / zine is due next month via the SOMATICK MAGICK initiative through WE THE HALLOWED. The Primer refines the years of HAUNTOMANCY work through HAUNT MANUAL into concise graphics that prelude the printed collection of writings. https://keatsross.substack.com "ALGOL," the true debut from REVELATOR ROSZ (not counting the cassette-only release of its proto-born "ROSZ AL GHUL" which you can purchase via https://wethehallowed.bandcamp.com) is also rearing its true reveal. The track used in this podcast edit is of "GHEISZT", a draft of the opening track from ALGOL. You can hear drafts, new mixes, and fleeting sonicks via soundcloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/wdWvUNinQ1hCWarG5I REVELATOR∴ROSZ · GHEISZT ∴ Ectogaszmik Mix (Scratch Vocals / Rough Draft Lyriks) The track, "SONDER", is probably the closest to release ready and will most likely be the first single: https://on.soundcloud.com/d1qiUWbTaXoffI4wbb This first episode shares in the SPEKTRE of the sacred space, THE DIMMING ROOM, at the apex of its Cascadian iterations utility and creative fervor. Of course, three months ago didn't feel like anything outside of the normal hyper cast & conjure liminalstream for the newfound @hauntomancer imprint and "dead tech necromancy" specific media current. But now it makes perfect sense that it was the beginning of its rebirth. https://pandora.app.link/g4GL2FmAKVb PART 2 will explore the Aspektre's consistent punch of #draftmagick or the revelry outside the public eye, tinkering and toiling on the big projects that come. Largely recorded in bits and bops for patrons just 3 weeks ago... The intro and Patreon Thanks at the end was filmed and captured from VHS tape (thus intentional audio and video irregularities).

Trigger Warning: This episode references war, famine, starvation & rape. We are back this week to discuss something extremely important & sensitive that could not wait until the season resumes. We're unpacking the dark side of food, not as sustenance, but as a weapon. From the longstanding famine crisis in Sudan to the escalating emergency in Gaza, we explore how food scarcity is not always accidental, but often a deliberate tool of war and control. What exactly is a famine? Why does it happen and what makes it so devastating? Join us as we confront the politics of hunger, the human cost of food insecurity, and why recognising the true causes of famine is only the first step toward justice & change.Useful Resources & Further Reading Ethiopia: Conflict & food insecurity 40 years on from the 1984 famineTimeline: 54 years of hunger as a weapon of warUsing starvation as a weapon of war in Sudan must stopWhy isn't the world paying attention to Sudan?What really caused the Irish potato famine?Food as a weapon of warSubscribe to RELISH. by Sonder & Salt on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/sonderandsalt ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the podcast for updates and video content ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Die Namibiese Privaatpraktisynsforum waarsku dat Psemas sonder dringende optrede teen 2027 kan ineenstort. Dit sal sowat 300 000 staatsamptenare en hul gesinne sonder toegang tot huidige vlakke van privaat sorg laat, veral in geestesgesondheid, chroniese siektes en landelike dienste. Die forum vra lank reeds vir 'n statutêre Mediese Beheerraad om tariewe, kodering en nakoming te reguleer. Dit word nie deur Namaf of Namfisa gedek nie, wat 'n kritieke bestuursgaping laat. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met dr. Jürgen Hoffmann, die uitvoerende hoof van die Namibiese Privaat Praktisynsforum gepraat.

Die DA sê spesialis-skole in Gauteng, wat onderrig moet gee in hoëtegnologie-vakke soos lugvaart en kernwetenskap, is nie aan die internet gekoppel nie. Die LUR vir Onderwys, Matome Chiloane, het bevestig nie een van die skole is gekoppel aan die provinsiale breëbandnetwerk nie. Die DA-lid, Michael Waters, sê dit is 'n krisis, veral met die skole wat begrotingsbesnoeiings van 82-persent in die gesig staar. Waters het die regering aangespoor om hande te vat met die privaat sektor om skole aanlyn te kry:
