De alternatieve OV-kaart is een flink hoofdpijndossier geworden voor de NS. Het inchecken met een digitale bankpas is namelijk kwetsbaar voor fraude. Sinds deze zomer moet het bedrijf achter OVpay – Translink – zelfs betaalpassen van Revolut, Paysafe en Vivid Money blokkeren om te voorkomen dat reizigers een truc uithalen en zo kunnen reizen zonder ooit te betalen. We bespreken met Jort Siemes hoe deze OV-fraude werkt en wat dat voor gevolgen heeft voor andere reizigers. Lees: Wegwerpkaarten geblokkeerd na fraude bij NS Jongeren hebben helemaal niks met ‘pensioen’. Het is nog ver van hun bed en ze hebben wel wat anders aan hun hoofd, zoals woonruimte zoeken. Om ze toch bewust te maken van deze belangrijke arbeidsvoorwaarde, zetten ze sociale media en influencers in. Hoe ze dat doen en of een het succes is, hoor je van pensioenredacteur Maaike Noordhuis. Lees: Insta en TikTok om pensioen te pluggen bij jongeren Over twee weken begint het botenfestijn Sail 2025. Een nautisch spektakel dat maar één keer in de tien jaar voorkomt. Voor bezoekers een zeldzame kans dus om zich te vergapen aan schepen, barken en schoeners. Toch lijkt het qua animo nog tegen te vallen. Rederijen klagen dat de verkoop van rondvaarten voor bedrijven moeizaam verloopt. Dat maakt het spannend of het evenement uit de kosten gaat komen, vertelt FD-journalist Richard Smit. Lees: Rederijen raken zakelijke boottochten op Sail moeilijk kwijt Morgen doet de rechter uitspraak in de zaak tegen voormalig Jumbo-topman Frits van Eerd. De ex-supermarktbaas wordt verdacht van witwassen en fraude. Het FD is er uiteraard bij en zal verslag doen online en in de papieren krant. Maar wil je nu alvast bijgepraat worden over de zaak en over alles wat er is gebeurd sinds de inval in Van Eerd zijn villa in 2021?

This podcast is packed with positivity! That's right, the first segment of the podcast is the "20 Minute Positivity Challenge". It's also known as the 'Gary Self-evaluation'. Is there any way to discuss the positive things the NWP has proposed on Council within 20 minutes on a podcast? Will the buzzer sound and will our co-hosts run out of time?A Deloitte report commissioned by Metro Vancouver includes 47 recommendations to improve the governance of the organization. That's more recommendations than there are board directors (41) which is quite astounding. The local media refer to it as a 'damning report'. Let dig a bit deeper and listen to an interview on the Jas Johal Show on AM 730 on this topic. AM 730 host Jill Bennett discusses an open letter written by four city councillors calling upon Premier David Eby to reinstate the Office of the Municipal Auditor General. Why is Victoria so hesitant to make a move? Are they afraid to wear the political mess that is unfolding at Metro Vancouver? Lastly, we talk about congestion pricing and whether a $200 per vehicle charge is close to becoming a reality. Do you want to pay a new 'congestion tax' that would help to fund TransLink? Or should senior orders of government redirect existing funding to this important priority to tackle climate change? All that and more in what we guarantee is an information and analysis-filled podcast! If you liked it be sure to tell family and friends to follow For the Record with Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas.

Several female Olympians and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) graduates will lead an extraordinary lineup of speakers at the largest-ever 11th annual I Wish Showcase, taking place on 6 February at the RDS, Dublin. Olympic sprint star Phil Healy will be joined at the Showcase by rower Zoe Hyde, who also competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Claire Dunne, a member of the 4x400m relay squad at the London 2012 Olympic Games and now Head of Social Impact at Deloitte, will also speak. Together, they will inspire over 4,000 female teenage students from across the island to consider STEM careers, highlighting how advancements in STEM innovation drive success in sports and beyond. I Wish, a community committed to showcasing the power of STEM to teenage girls, has held its renowned annual Showcase - with inspirational speakers, interactive exhibitions and workshops - since 2015, engaging with over 62,000 students in this time, hosting over 1,000 speakers, and partnering with over 130 industry leaders. Registration is still open at iwish.ie/register. Speaking ahead of the event, Phil Healy said: "STEM drives innovation on and off the track. From the engineering of high-performance running shoes and the physics behind optimal sprinting techniques to the data analytics fine-tuning training plans, STEM is a part of my daily life as an athlete. I'm thrilled to share my journey and show how women in STEM are revolutionising every facet of sports. The I Wish Showcase is an incredible opportunity for young girls to see the endless possibilities available to them." TV host Sinead Kennedy, returning MC, will guide the event's programme, with more speakers to be announced in the coming weeks. There will be over 30 exhibitors, including key partners Deloitte, Dell Technologies, Merck, Virgin Media, Sport Ireland Her Moves Campaign, Johnson & Johnson, Regeneron, Qualcomm and more. I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll said: "The findings from our most recent annual survey report make it clear that while progress has been made, systemic barriers persist, preventing too many young girls from seeing STEM as a viable career path. Role models like Phil, Claire and Zoe are crucial in shifting this narrative. By showcasing women who have broken through these barriers, the I Wish Showcase provides tangible examples of success in STEM and empowers them to imagine their future in these industries. This is how we inspire change - by showing young girls the endless possibilities available to them." The 2025 I Wish Showcase will feature a new Sport Innovation Hub where attendees can explore how advancements in technology are revolutionising performance, training and competition. Additionally, the event will debut a Food Science Hub, offering a glimpse into how STEM is reshaping what we eat and how it's made. Other innovative hubs dedicated to construction, entrepreneurship and emerging STEM fields will showcase the latest breakthroughs shaping these industries. This year's event features ongoing transport partnerships with Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann, along with a new partnership with Translink, making the event fully accessible to students from Northern Ireland for the first time. Co-founder Gillian Keating added: The success of the I Wish Showcase is a testament to the power of collaboration and strategic partnerships. By drawing on the support of our industry leaders, educators, and transport partners that we have been able to connect young women with the resources and networks they need to choose and thrive in Stem careers that work for them. Together, we are building a community that champions inclusivity, equity, and opportunity for girls across the island of Ireland."" Beyond the annual showcase, I Wish has expanded its activities to a year-round suite of programmes, including a Tech for Good Programme, entrepreneurship programmes and the newly launched I Wish Primary Programme.
