 Wear an Easter LillyI did not think Easter is almost upon us. It has crept up on me. For Irish republicans Easter holds a special significance. It is synonymous with the 1916 Easter Rising and the heroism over a century ago of those who rose up against the British Empire and declared for a Republic. It is also a time when we remember all of those women and men – over countless generations – who gave their lives in pursuit of Irish sovereignty and independence.In the course of my activism I have travelled widely. I have visited many countries. Time and again I have been struck by the determination of nations to honour the patriots and freedom fighters who gave meaning to their desire for freedom and self-determination.Across the world there are countless memorials to those who fought in wars against colonialism. National ceremonies of remembrance are held. Buildings or lands and even prisons associated with struggles for freedom are protected and used as aids to teach young people the value of citizenship and the importance of freedom and democracy.Across this island and beyond there are many such monuments to Irish patriots. Next Sunday tens of thousands of people in towns, villages and cities, at country crossroads and at lonely hillside graveyards across the country, will gather for commemorations. They will gather also in Britain, Australia, Canada, the USA and many other places.Most will wear an Easter Lily. This is a symbol of our enduring commitment to the ideals of 1916 and of the Proclamation of the Republic and is a mark of respect for all those, from every generation, who paid with their lives in the cause of Irish freedom.  Micheál Martin and Moore St.Micheál Martin visited 14-17 Moore St. last week. Number 16 is where the leaders of the Rising held their last meeting before their execution. Numbers 14-17 are the planned location for a National Monument to those who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and who evacuated to that street as the GPO was in flames. Martin's visit comes 12 years after he called for the "protection and enhancement" of Moore Street. It comes 19 years after the Fianna Fáil government of Bertie Ahern designated 14-17 Moore St. as a National Monument. During that time the buildings lay derelict and have fallen into a dangerous state of disrepairNow almost two decades later Martin takes an interest, on the cusp of Easter, in a site that his government has starved of funding. Moreover, Martin has backed the plan by the London based developer Hammerson to obliterate the Moore St. Battlefield site, including historic buildings that are part of that period.The rumour was that he was to make a public statement about this. Representatives of the Moore Street Preservation Trust were there to respond, including the grandson of James Connolly, James Connolly Heron. James presented An Taoiseach with the Trusts plan for a 1916 historic and Cultural Quarter. This encompasses the preservation, restoration and management of the Moore Street Battlefield Area, as designated by the High Court in 2016 “the lands, buildings, streets and lanes within an area including Moore Street, Henry Place, O'Rahilly Parade and Moore Lane, in which the 1916 Rising Volunteers travelled after evacuating the GPO”.  Two different Voices on UnitySpeaking of Micheál Martin, the Fianna Fáil leader was interviewed for the Belfast Telegraph last week. I was disappointed but not surprised by his assertion that he wasn't even thinking of a ‘border poll'. When pushed about the constitutional future of Ireland in 50 years-time he couldn't even bring himself to utter the words ‘united Ireland.' In the 15 years he has been leader of Fianna Fáil Martin has engaged in a deliberate strategy of obfuscation when it comes to unity. His current excuse for not pursu

Joining Rachael Forsyth on this week's HortWeek Podcast is John Durnell from the Hampshire Wildlife Trust and Alistair Emery, founder of Land and property investment and consultancy, Kingwell.John and Alistair are collaborators on significant natural capital scheme at Keyhaven near Milford-on-Sea converting degraded arable farming land into a "high value wildlife site".Kingwell bought the farm in 2020 and is working with Hampshire Wildlife Trusts to create meadows and grassland, enriching the biodiversity as large-scale BNG habitat.The land will be transformed in five or six phases which will be offered to developers as BNG credits - "we thought was probably what the market would absorb" Alistair says.Working alongside local authorities and the Environment Agency in a form of public-private partnership HWT will provide technical support on habitat creation and ongoing management of the land over the next 20 or 30 years. As John says, "frankly if we're going to turn around the sort of fate of wildlife in the UK I think every single sector is really going to have to do its bit."Alistair talks about the benefits from a land owner's point of view and how it can benefit rural business and community as well as the environment: "Farmers are under a lot of pressure to look at how they can diversify and commercialize their farms, particularly with BPS falling away. It's looking at what are the opportunities that can keep farms going. Environmental schemes such as this are going to play a part in enabling farmers to continue."They outline the carbon sequestration benefits of soil restoration and way the "nascent" BNG credits market will interact with local construction schemes and planning departments.Alistair says: "Our planning system is broken. And it's not broken because of things like BNG. It's it's other factors that are driving that."Also in the planning system, developers are finding ways to get around BNG, finding exemptions so that they don't have to deliver it onsite or even offsite."I think things will change. It's a very new thing. It was only February last year that it became statutory and small developments in April. It takes a long time to get these schemes approved and over the line and supply."John says: "What I always find frustrating is when the Government infer that lack of supply or BNG or protection for the environment is the thing that's stopping house building. And frankly, that's risible when... if you speak to most developers, they'll admit that it's high interest rates, lack of planning officers, lack of capacity... [and] things like lack of labour. They discuss the teething troubles with BNG, issues with planning and posit options on how system might be adapted to allow the various agencies to work together more effectively, which means, John insists, public and private partnerships.They also make the case for larger schemes. Alistair says: "If you have on-site mitigation where you've got fragmented patches of areas within developments that are completely unconnected and going back to the resource problem of the local authorities, then being able to monitor and enforce to ensure that the biodiversity is actually being delivered in those areas, it just doesn't work. It will only work properly if we can do it strategically on large areas of land like what we've got in Keyhaven.John adds: "Small areas suffer from this thing called edge effect where the edges, problems come in from the edge and the edges tend to be degraded to a certain extent....mitigating at scale strategically is a really, really good model.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, Dr James Q. Del Rosso shifts gears from clinical dermatology to something equally important but rarely discussed—legal and financial planning. He's joined by his longtime friend and dermatopathologist, Dr Clay Cockerell, who also happens to be a licensed attorney with a passion for educating physicians about estate planning. Dr Cockerell breaks down the fundamentals of trusts, wills, and malpractice insurance in plain language, highlighting why every physician should care about these topics. Listeners will learn the key differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts, how to protect assets from creditors, and why picking the right trustee is critical. They also dive into the historical roots of trusts (spoiler: think the Crusades), fiduciary responsibilities, and how physicians can control the distribution of assets during and after their lifetimes. The conversation also covers non-compete clauses, contract negotiations, and the importance of tail coverage in malpractice policies. Dr Cockerell shares real-world advice from his own experience and emphasizes why physicians—especially new grads—should never sign contracts without legal review. Packed with practical insights, humor, and a few personal anecdotes, this episode offers a must-hear legal primer for dermatology professionals at any career stage.

Hey there, hello to you today and welcome to this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, where we look at what God has promised His people in the Bible, and we live like those promises are true… and thank God, they are!  Biblical Motherhood Pinterest Board You're listening to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, featured on the Edifi app and on iHeart radio. Today's episode is all about God's promise to give us peace, and more specifically, perfect peace, as it says in Isaiah 26, verse 3. And this is episode number 206.   Isaiah is a large book in the Old Testament. 66 chapters, I believe, and it covers a lot of ground. It is a record of the history of Israel and Judah, it is very prophetic - about specific nations and people groups and what would happen, at times even to the day, as we see in parts of Isaiah 18, that chapter comes to mind, and other portions of the book are exactingly specific, as well. And of course, about Jesus' birth and life and death and resurrection, it holds so many prophecies that have indeed proved true, exactly true, to perfection. And then, of course, it holds a lot of prophecy about His second coming, His return that will be the most incredible event this world has ever seen.    Sometimes a book the size and the depth of Isaiah can be almost intimidating to read, overwhelming in it's scope, some parts are historical record, and they read like much of the Old Testament does in Judges or 1 Samuel or the book of Ruth or Esther. But it is intermingled with these astounding portions that are not at all like reading through the book of Ruth or Judges. And we may shy away from it, because it is, frankly, a lot and we might feel like we're  not learned enough or qualified to really understand it.    But is that a good reason to not read it? I don't think so. God gives us such incredible promises in the book of Isaiah, and I do not think He made those promises so that we would never know them, let alone believe Him for them. Nope. That would not make sense. And a book that has so many powerful promises for us, a book that has been so spot on accurate regarding Jesus' life on earth, well, that's a very hopeful, hope-filled book. And we just don't want to miss what it has to say to us.    Which is why we're going to look at one verse, one topic or theme, from the pages of Isaiah in this episode. You know, to get to the 206th episode of a podcast takes a bit of time, and as this show is focused on God's promises, I have spent a fair amount of time the last few years reading and thinking about and writing about (as in the podcast show notes and my personal study time) and talking about so many of God's promises for His dearly loved children (which is what we are, according to 1 John chapter 3, verse 1). And I have yet to be moved off my stance that all His promises are true. Ya know, you get the comments from people on different platforms when clips from the show are shared, and people can say things that are really heart wrenching to read…not what they say about me, because who cares, right? But also, usually what they say is about the Lord, and that is what's heart wrenching. Maybe they've experienced serious hurt or disappointment, maybe they just have no idea who God is or how much He loves them, maybe something else entirely.    But those comments don't move my needle regarding my belief in who my God is for me personally and as a whole, to all who will come to Him. It moves my needle with heartbreak but not my belief. In thinking about this, the comments and what's possibly behind those comments, well I wonder if some of those commenters are lacking peace, maybe?  It's a hard life, in a dark world, for a million different reasons in every stage and season. Inner peace, inner security, that's missing in so many lives.    The verse from Isaiah that talks about perfect peace, that's the verse that comes to mind. And that's the verse I'm sharing with you as one of God's most beautiful, life-giving promises in this episode.    You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You. That's what Isaiah 26:3 says in the New Living Translation.  It's a hefty promise, and as always, our God does nothing but deliver on this.    Does that mean we never have to pause, do a reset, pray, seek His peace, remind one another of verses like this, ponder the fact that Jesus said in this world we will have trouble but we are to take heart, He has overcome the world and that His peace He gives to us, His peace He leaves with us, but not the world's peace. His peace. It's a different kind of peace. It's sitting in the doctor's office getting really awful news, but you have an inner calm and peace that is so rock solid, you're able to not endure that hard moment but rather, not be shaken by it. It's a prodigal's parent able to fully trust in the Lord and have peace, not be up all night fretting, overcome with dread, jumping at every shadow because the stress level is so high…but having peace right in the middle of the terrible awful disaster of a mess. That's not the world's version of peace. It's beyond the bounds of this world, and I am so thankful that God has promised this peace, perfect peace, to us.    Let me read Isaiah 26:3 from the Amplified now. You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast (that is, committed and focused on You - in both inclination and character), because he trusts and takes refuge in You (with hope and confident expectation).   That adds some depth to the promise. Perfect and constant peace…that's what I'm looking for, and I'll find it when I look for it in Christ Jesus. A steadfast mind, well that sounds pretty good to me. Committed to and focused on the Lord, in all things all of the time. That is an amazing way to live. To have my character so impacted by my trust in God that every inclination I have is aligned toward Him. And why is this promise going to prove true for me and for you? Because we trust the Lord, and we take refuge in Him when life gets hard and we're under attack or under pressure or facing peril or heartbreak or grief of simply the great unknown. We take refuge in our God in those moments not in a disassociated way, we don't deny the difficult things in life, but in hope and in confident expectation. That's perfect peace. That's your promise.    Now let me share something I read from a missionary to China had to say about how Chinese  believers, followers of Jesus, how they read this verse: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind stops at God.    Let that sink in for a moment.    Can I repeat that? I feel like it's too awesome to only say one time.   Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind stops at God.   In the midst of your troubles, when those scary scenarios start to swamp your thoughts, and thus swamp your life, because where our thoughts go, there our lives go… in those moments, can you and I choose to let our mind STOP at God?   Is this possibly what it means to be still and know that He is God? I think so.  But this happened and then this might happen next and then it may snowball into this, that and the other… But what if my mind stops at God? But this happened, and He is God. Not God of some things, not God now and then, hit and miss, here and there. He is God. Period. My mind, that's where it stops. At God. Nothing is greater than our God. Nobody pulls a fast one on our God. Nothing gets past Him. Nothing lets Him down, because nothing holds Him up. He holds all things together, Colossians tells us about the Lord. All things. Nothing left out. Shalom peace, nothing missing, nothing broken.    He will keep you in perfect peace when your mind stops at God.   That's it for this episode, and I'm so glad you were able to listen today. The highest compliment you could give the show is to share it with a friend. And just on the off chance that somebody might want to hear this, I am working on a Biblical Motherhood project and I have started a Pinterest board where I share some of my content, but also I Pin lots of encouraging content that falls under into the category of Biblical motherhood. If you are a mother or know a mom who would like some encouragement from a Bible based perspective, right here in the show notes is a link to that on Pinterest.   Lord bless you today, and hold your peace and let your mind stop at God today.   See you next time.

In this show Ken Raiss, Brett Warren and I and a heap of questions left by viewers of a recent Masterclass that should be of interest to anyone interested in property investment. We explore the pros and cons of investing in outer suburbs, what's ahead for the Melbourne property market, the significance of understanding property value versus price, the different loan structures available for investors, the importance of economic fundamentals, and strategies for intergenerational wealth transfer. The conversation also touches on the viability of living off equity and the comparison between commercial and residential properties. Takeaways Investing in outer suburbs can be risky especially at this stage of the cycle where property vans have been pushed up by inexperienced investors. Economic fundamentals drive property value growth. Setting up the right ownership property structure is essential for flexible intergenerational wealth transfer. Starting with a clear end goal is one key to successful investing. Interest-only loans can help in property accumulation phases, while we're paying debt makes sense as you near a retirement age. Living off equity is challenging but still possible with the right strategy. Commercial properties often provide better yields than residential property, but for most investors residential property provides better returns because of the extra leverage. Flexibility in investment ownership structures can enhance financial outcomes. The property market is cyclical; patience is necessary for long-term gains.

This is an overview and summary of trusts and estates law, focusing on the creation and types of trusts, trustee duties, probate and estate administration, tax planning, and wills/intestacy.Trusts are a way to manage assets during life and after death. A trust requires a settlor, trustee, beneficiaries, intent, and trust property. Trusts can be revocable or irrevocable, testamentary or inter vivos. Trustees have fiduciary duties to beneficiaries, including loyalty, prudence, impartiality, and providing information.Probate is the court-supervised process of authenticating a will, appointing a personal representative, gathering assets, paying debts, and distributing property. Estate taxes can be minimized through strategies like lifetime gifts, trusts, and charitable giving.Wills are legal documents that direct asset distribution after death. They are essential for avoiding intestacy (distribution by state law). Wills must be properly executed and witnessed.Understanding trusts, probate, and wills is crucial for effective estate planning.

Probate is a court-supervised process used to authenticate a decedent's will, appoint a personal representative, gather assets, pay debts, and distribute remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The process varies in duration, cost, and complexity.Key steps include initiating the case, court review and appointment of a representative, gathering assets, providing notice, handling debts, administering and distributing the estate, and tax planning. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate for smaller or uncontested estates.Tax and planning considerations include estate taxes, lifetime gifting, irrevocable life insurance trusts, grantor-retained annuity trusts, charitable giving, and integration of tax strategies with probate.Understanding both probate procedures and estate planning strategies is crucial for effectively managing the complexities of post-death property transfers. Proper planning can minimize administrative burdens, reduce tax liabilities, and ensure the decedent's intentions are fulfilled.

Probate is a court-supervised process that authenticates a decedent's will, appoints a personal representative, and oversees the gathering of assets, payment of debts, and distribution of remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The probate process can vary in duration, cost, and complexity depending on the size of the estate, the clarity or validity of the will, and potential disputes.The probate case is initiated by filing a petition with the probate court, which includes the will (if any) and the death certificate. The court then confirms the documents and appoints an executor or administrator. If the will is contested, the process may become litigious and require an evidentiary hearing.The personal representative is responsible for notifying beneficiaries, heirs, and creditors, and gathering and inventorying the decedent's assets. The representative must also pay off valid debts in a specific order of priority.The distribution of property is guided by the will or, in the absence of a will, by intestacy statutes. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate procedures for smaller or uncontested estates.Estate taxes and planning strategies can significantly impact the probate process. Lifetime gifts, life insurance trusts, and charitable giving can all be used to minimize estate taxes. Understanding these strategies is crucial, as how property is titled or transferred can affect both probate and tax implications.The personal representative must also file any required estate tax returns and ensure that taxes are paid. Estate planning can simplify the probate process and minimize taxes, ensuring that the decedent's wishes are carried out and that beneficiaries receive their inheritance with clarity.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Rosario Parlanti, a longtime crypto investor and real estate attorney, about the shifting landscape of decentralization, AI, and finance. They explore the power struggles between centralized and decentralized systems, the role of AI agents in finance and infrastructure, and the legal gray areas emerging around autonomous technology. Rosario shares insights on trusted execution environments, token incentives, and how projects like Phala Network are building decentralized cloud computing. They also discuss the changing narrative around Bitcoin, the potential for AI-driven financial autonomy, and the future of censorship-resistant platforms.

Rosario Parlanti explains that decentralization doesn't mean eliminating central hubs entirely, but rather reducing choke points where power is overly concentrated. Whether in finance, cloud computing, or governance, every system faces forces pushing toward centralization for efficiency and control, while counterforces work to redistribute power and increase resilience.Trusted execution environments (TEE) are crucial for decentralized cloud computing. Rosario highlights how Phala Network uses TEEs, a hardware-based security measure that isolates sensitive data from external access. This ensures that decentralized cloud services can operate securely, preventing unauthorized access while allowing independent providers to host data and run applications outside the control of major corporations like Amazon and Google.AI agents will need decentralized infrastructure to function autonomously. The conversation touches on the growing power of AI-driven autonomous agents, which can execute financial trades, conduct research, and even generate content. However, running such agents on centralized cloud providers like AWS could create regulatory and operational risks. Decentralized cloud networks like Phala offer a way for these agents to operate freely, without interference from governments or corporations.Regulatory arbitrage will shape the future of AI and crypto. Rosario describes how businesses and individuals are already leveraging jurisdiction shopping—structuring AI entities or financial operations in countries with more favorable regulations. He speculates that AI agents could be housed within offshore LLCs or irrevocable trusts, creating legal distance between their creators and their actions, raising new ethical and legal challenges.Bitcoin's narrative has shifted from currency to investment asset. Originally envisioned as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Bitcoin has increasingly been treated as digital gold, largely due to the influence of institutional investors and regulatory frameworks like Bitcoin ETFs. Rosario argues that this shift in perception has led to Bitcoin being co-opted by the very financial institutions it was meant to disrupt.The rise of AI-driven financial autonomy could bypass traditional banking and regulation. The combination of AI, smart contracts, and decentralized finance (DeFi) could enable AI agents to conduct financial transactions without human oversight. This could range from algorithmic trading to managing business operations, potentially reducing reliance on traditional banking systems and challenging the ability of governments to enforce financial regulations.The accelerating clash between technology and governance will redefine global power structures. As AI and decentralized systems gain momentum, traditional nation-state mechanisms for controlling information, currency, and infrastructure will face unprecedented challenges. Rosario and Stewart discuss how this shift mirrors previous disruptions—such as social media's impact on information control—and speculate on whether governments will adapt, resist, or attempt to co-opt these emerging technologies.
