Is mise Sibéal Dempsey.Vótáil comhairle slándála na Náisiún Aontaithe i bhfabhar rún a thacaíonn le plean Donald Trump do Gaza. Tá roinnt gnéithe sa phlean, lena n-áirítear bunú Fórsa Cobhsaíochta Idirnáisiúnta, a bhfuil roinnt tíortha gan ainm tar éis tairiscint a bheith páirteach ann. Seachas an Rúis agus an tSín, a staon ón vóta, vótáil na tíortha eile go léir i bhfabhar an rúin. Dhiúltaigh Hamas dó, áfach, iad ag rá go gcruthaíonn sé páirtí eile sa choinbhleacht agus go bhforchuireann sé caomhnóireacht ar Stráice Gaza. Cruthaíodh comhlacht ar a dtugtar an Bord Síochána freisin, a bhfuil sé de chúram air maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar atógáil Gaza agus ar sheachadadh cabhrach daonnúla. Dúirt Trump gur “stairiúil” vóta na Comhairle Slándála agus meastar go mbeidh sé ina chathaoirleach ar an mBord Síochána.Chonacthas long spiaireachta Rúiseach amach ó chósta na hAlban an tseachtain seo, agus í ar a bealach i dtreo uiscí atá faoi smacht na hÉireann, agus geallann an Ríocht Aontaithe freagairt mhíleata dá n-aistreodh sí níos faide ó dheas. Is cosúil go bhfuil an long, ar a dtugtar an Yantar, in ann cur isteach ar cháblaí fomhuirí. Chonacthas an long ag seoladh síos Muir Éireann roimhe seo freisin, nuair a bhí long chabhlaigh agus aerárthach Éireannach á leanúint. Meastar an uair seo mar ardú céime, áfach, mar a fuarthas amach go raibh an long ag díriú léasair ar phíolótaí RAF a seoladh chun faireachas a dhéanamh. Ar an láimh eile, tá ambasáid na Rúise sa Ríocht Aontaithe tar éis cúiseamh a thabhairt do rialtas na Breataine as histéire mhíleata a chothú.Tá an tionscal ceoil ag agóidíocht níos mó i gcoinne na hintleachta saorga de réir mar a mhéadaíonn a húsáid sna meáin phríomhshrutha.

Mark sits down with Sahib “City” Patel, the founder of yhangry—a fast-growing platform that connects guests with private chefs at shockingly affordable prices. Think three-course meals starting around $60 per person… cooked in your vacation rental, cleaned up afterward, and delivered by vetted professional chefs.What started as a simple idea in London has now become a global movement—one that's reshaping guest experience inside short-term rentals. And here's the wild part: City didn't even realize STRs were half their market until the data smacked her in the face. Since then, yhangry has partnered with over 130,000+ vacation rental units, doubled the number of chefs Airbnb has in the U.S., and is rapidly expanding across the U.S., Europe, and Dubai.In this episode, you'll learn: • Why private chefs are becoming one of the most requested STR add-ons • How property managers are using yhangry to increase conversions and boost guest reviews • The surprising ways travel habits differ between U.S. and UK guests • What a partnership looks like—affiliate links, dashboards, payouts, and ease of setup • How user-generated content (UGC) from chef experiences drives direct bookings • The story behind yhangrys first-ever booking… featuring eight influencers and an explosion of overnight viralityCity also breaks down the myths around private chefs (spoiler: it's NOT bougie), the psychology of “vacation mode” spending, and why curated in-home dining is becoming the next major amenity in hospitality.If you're looking for new revenue streams, higher guest satisfaction, and a true differentiator in your market—this episode is a must-listen.___Episode Sponsored By:STR SearchSTR Search is the industry leading property finder service.

Unsere Vorstellung von der Südsee ist oftmals geprägt von traumhaften Stränden, azur-blauem Wasser, von üppiger Vegetation. Doch das Leben für die Einwohner auf den Inseln wie Vanuatu oder Tuvalu - weit entfernt von Australien im südlichen Pazifik - ist durchaus beschwerlich. Und das ist wörtlich zu verstehen. Die Ernährungsgewohnheiten der Inselbewohner haben sich drastisch verändert. Während noch vor ein, zwei Generationen die Menschen ihre einheimischen Erzeugnisse konsumierten, der Fischfang für gesunde Nahrung sorgte, leiden die Einwohner Tuvalus heutzutage unter massivem Übergewicht. Über die Hälfte der Menschen gilt als fettleibig. Die Folge: Die Lebenserwartung der Inselbewohner ist drastisch zurückgegangen. Andreas Stummer mit seiner Reportage

Stāsta velosipēdu vēstures pētnieks, Saulkrastu Velosipēdu muzeja līdzizveidotājs Eduards Seregins Kad pēc Pirmā pasaules kara un Brīvības cīņām nodibinājās Latvijas Republika un pamazām sāka atjaunoties tautsaimniecība, tirgū ievērojami pieauga pieprasījums pēc velosipēdiem. Diemžēl lielākā daļa pirmskara velosipēdu rūpniecības uzņēmumu bija stipri izpostīti, kā arī daudzi no tiem neatgriezās no evakuācijas, kas bija notikusi kara laikā. Strādnieki, kuri bija apguvuši velosipēdu ražošanas prasmes lielākajās fabrikās, nu bija palikuši bez iztikas līdzekļiem. Tādēļ, neskatoties uz izejvielu trūkumu un citām grūtībām, daudzi no tiem paši atvēra savas darbnīcas un uzsāka velosipēdu izgatavošanu. Arī sliktais ceļu stāvoklis un satiksmes trūkums apgrūtināja iespēju lauku ļaudīm doties uz tālo Rīgu, lai iegādātos sev tik nepieciešamos velosipēdus. Vienkāršāk bija pasūtīt tos pie sava vietējā mehāniķa. Tā 20. gadu sākumā ļoti strauji pieauga velosipēdu darbnīcu skaits visā Latvijā. Īpaši Kurzemes mazpilsētās. Tukumā vien, kurā tolaik bija vien daži tūkstoši iedzīvotāju, darbojās trīs velosipēdu izgatavošanas uzņēmumi. Kopumā Kurzemē, līdz 1940. gada vasarai, jaunus velosipēdus izgatavoja 35 mehāniskās darbnīcas. Vidzemē tādu bija 17, bet Latgalē – trīs. Mazpilsētu darbnīcu galvenā nodarbošanās bija lauksaimniecības mašīnu remonts, taču ziemā, kad darba bija maz, varēja pievērsties arī velosipēdu ražošanai. Pamatā to produkcija bija velosipēdu rāmji. Rāmjus izgatavoja no iepirktām caurulēm, salodēja uz kalēju ēzes, krāsoja un glīti dekorēja ar uzvilktām strīpiņām, kā to pieprasīja pircēji. Pārējās detaļas pasūtīja lielajās Rīgas fabrikās. Ziemā izgatavotos velosipēdus pārdeva pavasara gadatirgos. Divriteņus jebkurā laikā varēja pasūtīt darbnīcā arī individuāli. Tad ar meistaru vienojās par velosipēda izskatu, krāsu un nepieciešamo aprīkojumu. Darbnīcā izgatavoto velosipēdu cena bija lētāka nekā fabrikā būvētajiem divriteņiem. Visvairāk velosipēdu ražošanas uzņēmumu atradās Rīgā. Tādu bija 46. Rīgā darbojās arī piecas lielākās velosipēdu fabrikas Latvijā: "G. Ērenpreis", "Omega", "Latvello", "A. Liperts" un "P. Ozolnieks", kuras ne tikai pilnībā nodrošināja Latvijas tirgu ar jauniem velosipēdiem, bet arī eksportēja savu produkciju uz kaimiņvalstīm. Rīgas fabrikas piegādāja komplektējošās detaļas arī mazajiem ražotājiem provincē. Kurzemē lielākā velosipēdu ražotne bija brāļu Antonišķu fabrika Liepājā, kurā kopš 1899. gada izgatavoja velosipēdus "Līva". Gustava Ērenpreisa fabrika Rīgā savas pastāvēšanas laikā līdz 1940. gadam saražoja vairāk nekā 150 000 velosipēdu un bija pazīstama ne vien Latvijā bet eksportēja savu produkciju arī uz kaimiņvalstīm. Tā kā tolaik katrs velosipēds pēc iegādes bija jāreģistrē policijā, jāsamaksā gada nodoklis un jāsaņem numurzīme, ir zināms, ka 1939. gadā Latvijā bija reģistrēti 262 000 velosipēdu.

In dieser besonderen Folge vom CULTiTALK begrüßt Host Georg die vielseitige Fotografin und kreative Macherin Stella Boda als Gast – und diesmal sitzt sie ausnahmsweise auf der anderen Seite des Mikrofons. Bekannt als Organisationstalent und Stimme hinter den Kulissen vom CULTiTALK, spricht Stella mit Georg über ihren ungewöhnlichen Lebensweg, der sie von der analogen Fotografie über handwerkliche Buchprojekte bis zu einer spannenden neuen Ausstellung führte. Im Zentrum des Gesprächs steht ihr aktuelles Projekt „Blurred Focus“ – eine Ausstellung samt Buch, die sich dem Thema „Fokus“ aus künstlerischer, aber auch sehr persönlicher, psychologischer Sicht widmet.Stella erzählt von der Motivation hinter ihrer Arbeit, dem ständigen Suchen und Sich-Treiben-Lassen und wie für sie Vergänglichkeit, Melancholie, Erinnerungen und das Prinzip des bewussten Innehaltens in ihren Bildern zum Ausdruck kommen. Gemeinsam mit Georg erkundet sie, warum Fokus mehr ist als nur Konzentration – nämlich ein ständiger Balanceakt zwischen Eigenverantwortung, dem Fluss des Lebens und gesellschaftlichen Strömungen. Im Austausch hinterfragen die beiden das allgegenwärtige Streben nach Produktivität und Perfektion, sprechen über den Druck moderner Leistungskulturen und reflektieren persönliche Entscheidungsfreiheit.Ganz individuell und dennoch universell wird in dieser Folge klar: Fokus ist zugleich persönliche Entscheidung, gesellschaftliche Herausforderung und kreatives Prinzip. Wer sich inspirieren lassen möchte, wie Reflexion und Fotokunst zusammenfließen, erfährt außerdem mehr über Stellas Ausstellung in Wien und das dazugehörige Buch – inklusive kleiner persönlicher Einblicke und handfester Lifehacks. Eine einfühlsame Einladung, sich Zeit zu nehmen, den eigenen Blick zu weiten und neue Perspektiven auf das Thema Fokus zu entdecken. Alle Links zu Stella Boda:Unternehmen: stellaboda.comInstagram: stella.boda & stellaboda_artworkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stella-boda/ Alle Links zu Georg und dem Culturizer:Georg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-wolfgangCulturizer: https://culturizer.appCULTiTALK: https://cultitalk.de

Ted och Kaj talar om trotsåldern. Ted har kommit på hur Strömsökonceptet ska uppdateras och Kaj har fascinerats av gay ull.

Simon Sundström har skördat stora framgångar sedan sensommaren. Efter överträningssymptom i mitten av sommaren kom han tillbaka starkare än någonsin och slog personbästa på favoritdistansen 3000m hinder (8.17.01). Efter stolpe ut vad gällde kval till VM i friidrott gjorde Simon en kort spontansatsning mot Lidingöloppets 30 kilometer. Längre än vad han någonsin tidigare hade sprungit. Resultatet blev mycket snabba 1.38.08 och mersmak efter ett väl disponerat lopp. Några veckor senare följde terräng-SM där Simon i överlägsen stil segrade på herrarnas långa bana (10k). Med dessa resultat har han nu kvalificerat sig till Terräng-EM som går av stapeln 14 december i Portugal. Simon som representerar Djurgården Friidrott sedan ett år tillbaka är fostrad i IFK Lidingö och berättar om fördelarna med att ha vuxit upp på ön ur ett löpperspektiv. Vi får också veta mer om den nystartade förening Djurgården Friidrott.    Både Manne och John har varit och tävlat i Strängnäs i samband med Strängnäs halvmaraton. Det gick bra för 50% av podd-duon.

Kaum eine ist so ein fester Bestandteil der deutschen Kulturbranche wie sie: In der heutigen Folge spricht Thilo mit Katja Riemann – Schauspielerin, Musikerin, Autorin. Gemeinsam mit Thilo, der sich manchmal schwertut ins Theater zu gehen, spricht sie über genau das: Die Faszination, die vom Theater ausgeht und warum auch unangenehme Gefühle vielleicht manchmal gute Gefühle sind. Sind Theater eigentlich die letzten Räume, in denen wir noch konzentriert sind? Betäuben wir uns irgendwann nur noch auf Netflix während die Bühnen leer bleiben? Und: Sind kulturelle Räume für alle da? Wer ist willkommen? Katja nimmt uns mit auf einen Ritt durch die Kulturszene und ins Backstage des Theaters. Es geht um persönliche Erfahrungen und um Einblicke in das große Ganze. Denn: Sie sprechen dabei auch über ein System, das gerade massiv unter Druck steht. Der Staat baut Schulden ab und spart dabei auch – oder vor allem – bei der Kultur. Das geschieht in einer Zeit, in der es rechten Strömungen ohnehin recht wäre, bestimmte Gelder für Kulturarbeit zu streichen. Ist Kultur einfach nice to have, Nebensache, oder eine demokratische Grundversorgung? Hast du Fragen, Feedback oder Anmerkungen?

Is Airbnb still worth it? In this episode, Tim shares why he took one of his short-term rentals offline—revealing the real earnings, tenant conflicts, and whether switching to a long-term tenant paid off. If you're facing STR fatigue or weighing your rental options, this candid story may change your strategy. • Why a small studio in Memphis seemed like the perfect STR… until it wasn't • The hidden management headaches of mixing short- and long-term tenants • How STR market saturation quietly crushed revenue expectations • Why a midterm rental wasn't the right solution this time • What Tim would do differently—and the one thing he doesn't regret This episode proves that short-term rentals aren't always the easy win. Understanding market shifts, guest expectations, and management challenges is critical. If you're thinking of making a similar move, weigh the numbers carefully.

Na logo! Ist doch Ehrensache, dass wir über Leipzigs neues Logo und die Aufregung um die Kosten sprechen - in dieser neuen Folge von HELDENSTADT, dem Leipziger Wohnzimmerpodcast der LVZ. Wir, Eure Hosts Daniel Heinze und Guido Corleone, wollten wissen, was Experten zum aufgefrischten Erscheinungsbild der Stadt sagen und erzählen es Euch. Und auch sonst hört Ihr bei uns wieder alles, was Leipzig gerade bewegt. Die Lebensmittelüberwachung hat bei einer Leipziger Bäckerkette Hygienemängel festgestellt, die uns ganz schön den Appetit verderben. In Gohlis bringen Unbekannte eine S-Bahn zum Stehen, um sie mit Farbe zu besprühen. Achtung an der Jahnallee; diese Woche werden viele Straßenbahnen wegen der Bauarbeiten an der Zeppelinbrücke umgeleitet. Auf dem Leuschnerplatz werden neue Bäume und Sträucher gepflanzt. Das Zwischengrün soll Tieren in der Zeit der Neugestaltung des Platzes Unterschlupf bieten. In Eutritzsch sorgt das Comeback der Straßenbahnlinie 14 für große Freude: Endlich wieder vom Klinikum St. Georg bis auf die Karl-Heine-Straße in Plagwitz durchfahren! Und habt Ihr schon die neuen Bänke in der Innenstadt gesehen? Leipzigs Gemeinwohlparlament ist aktuell in der Abstimmungsphase, welche Projekte aus dem Spendentopf gefördert werden sollen. Daniel hat da mitgemacht und hat nun die Qual der Wahl. Sachsens neues Büro für Popkultur und Musik will auch in Leipzig für Vernetzung und Support von Popkulturschaffenden sorgen. In den Veranstaltungstipps wird's einmal laut und einmal leise - wir empfehlen die Konzerte von The Red Flags und Görda. Außerdem könnt Ihr im Petersbogen jetzt Weihnachtspullover shoppen, was für helle Aufregung im Team Heldenstadt sorgt.

„Bis 25 wächst man. Danach altert man nur noch.“ – Dr. Katharina Brüggemann ist Fachärztin für Innere Medizin, Ästhetik und Lasermedizin und eine der Expertinnen, die Klartext sprechen, wenn es um echte Ergebnisse geht. In ihrer Praxis verbindet sie Hightech, Medizin und Prävention – immer mit dem Ziel, Alterungsprozesse zu verstehen und zu verlangsamen. In dieser Folge BUNTE VIP GLOSS spricht Podcast-Host Jennifer Knäble mit Dr. Brüggemann über die große Frage: Was funktioniert wirklich? Es geht um Kollagenverlust ab Mitte 20, sinnvolle Behandlungen wie Radiofrequenz und Biostimulatoren, Skincare-Layering, Vitamin C, Retinol und darum, warum Prävention so viel wirksamer ist als späte Korrektur. Ein weiterer Fokus liegt auf unseren Haaren: Was verraten graue Strähnen, dünner werdendes Haar oder Haarausfall über Hormone, Nährstoffe oder Genetik? Und was bewirken Trendprodukte wie Rotlichtmasken wirklich? Die Expertin räumt mit beliebten Gesundheits- und Beauty-Mythen auf: Light-Produkte, Nüchterntraining, Ozempic-Face und der ewige Zuckerkreislauf. Ihr werdet staunen!

Dann droht der Stadt Arcadia Bay aber die Zerstörung durch einen übernatürlichen Tornado. Oder aber, wir beschützen Arcadia Bay – der Preis dafür, ist aber Chloes Leben. Andre und Matthias wollen in dieser neuen Reihe genau über diese ethischen Zwickmühlen sprechen, die uns Spiele so gerne vorsetzen. Und das nicht nur durch die Linse unserer eigenen Überzeugungen, sondern auch durch die der populärsten philosophischen Strömungen. Ihr wisst ja: Bildungspodcast!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire? Connect with Mike and let his journey inspire your own. Go out, take some action, and let's turn those properties into cash cows (preferably without the weed smokers!).
