TG4s landmark natural history series sees naturalist Eoin Warner take viewers on a breath-taking journey of discovery around the spectacular Celtic coasts of Ireland and Wales, exploring the extraordinary hidden wildlife around our shores – from our shallows to the deep.

IONTAIS NA bhFARRAIGÍ CEILTEACHA was filmed over two years in Ultra High Definition (UHD) by some of the filmmakers behind the natural history series Blue Planet, in a corner of these islands which has never previously been explored in such sumptuous detail – Ireland’s sunny southeast and the Welsh coast.

The camera team has captured an incredible array of species including blue sharks, basking sharks and Fin whales – all swimming and hunting off our Celtic shores.

From Wexford’s Saltee Islands, Eoin observes the guillemots – seabirds that can ‘fly’ underwater, and they also encounter the humble blenny fish getting washed-up – but the blenny can breathe on land!

Some remarkable and exciting new behaviours that have never been filmed in Celtic waters before were captured: such as the courtship rituals of bottle-nosed dolphins as well as astonishing footage of basking sharks congregating off the Irish coast.

Paddy Hayes, the director, comments: “Getting close to nature – especially given recent lockdown events, provides such a great escape for the soul. The Iontais na bhFarraigí Ceilteacha team captured some really breath-taking footage of our undiscovered coasts and some eye-opening behaviour of our best-known marine animals’ – and it is such a joy to know that all this occurs just off our shores.”

The 3 episodes of Iontais na bhFarraigí Ceilteacha are divided into 3 habitats – the shores, the shallows and the deep. The first episode, the Shores, sees presenter Eoin Warner explore the marine animals that inhabit the coastlines of Ireland and Wales who need to adapt to this rapidly changing environment.

Eoin goes kayaking off Waterford’s copper coast and he encounters curious Atlantic grey seals pirouetting around him. A camera team follow the seals through a whole year, from their courtship to pregnancy and to the birth of a gorgeous white pup. They also follow a pair of guillemots, bringing up their single youngster on a narrow rocky shelf.

The first episode is set to air on Wednesday, January 12th at 9:30pm on TG4. The trailer can be found here.

Now the first independent energy efficiency test with a fully loaded heavy-duty electric Volvo truck has been done in Germany, the electric truck exceeded its official range and used 50% less energy than its diesel counterpart.

The tested truck was a Volvo FH Electric, a zero-exhaust emission vehicle with 490 kW of continuous power and a gross combination weight of 40 tonnes.

The German trucking journalist Jan Burgdorf tested the truck on the Green Truck Route, a 343 km long route that includes a variety of motorways, hilly terrains, and tighter roads that is used for testing different manufacturers’ trucks in a wide range of conditions.

“I have to say, when driving this truck it is as agile, or even more agile, than a diesel truck. Drivers will be very surprised about how easy it is to drive, how quiet it is and how well it responds. There are no vibrations whatsoever,” says Jan Burgdorf.

The Volvo FH Electric kept an average speed of 80 km/h over the whole route, which was on par with the Volvo FH with a diesel engine equipped with a diesel engine and the fuel efficiency package I-Save.

Based on the energy consumption of only 1.1 kWh/km, the electric truck had a total range of 345 km on one charge.

“These test results show that it is possible to drive up to 500 km during a regular work-day, with a short stop for charging, for example during lunchtime,” explains Tobias Bergman, Press Test Director at Volvo Trucks.

In the Green Truck Route tests, the Volvo FH Electric used 50% less energy than a Volvo FH with a comparable diesel engine.

“The electric driveline is very efficient, making the all-electric truck a very powerful tool for reducing CO2 emissions,” comments Tobias Bergman.

Volvo Trucks goal is that electric vehicles will account for half of its truck sales in 2030 and in 2040, 100% well-to-wheel based CO2 reduction for new trucks sold.

“We are committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change. Science-based targets have been set and we are taking action to fast-forward the development to dramatically lower CO2 emissions related to on-road freight transports. I believe that the broad electric range we already have on the market is very clear proof of that,” concludes Tobias Bergman.

Facts about the test and the truck:

Gross combination weight: 40 tonnes. — Average speed: 80 km/h. — Energy consumption: 1,1 kWh/km. — Battery capacity: 540 kWh. — Output power: 490 kW continuous power. — Total test track distance: 343 km. — Total range based on one charge: 345 km. — The tested Volvo FH Electric can cover up to 500 km during a normal workday if a top-up charge is added, for example during the lunch break.

The Test can be viewed here.

Dell Technologies has unveiled details of the latest additions to its Alienware line. The new devices, showcased during CES 2022, range from the new Alienware x14 to the Alienware m15 R7 with Intel processors, gaming monitors and headset to amp up portability and performance for gamers.

Make Your Moves While on the Move

Dell’s thinnest laptop to date, the Alienware x14, is made possible through a new patent-pending hinge design, which allows this compact gaming laptop to sport a suite of Alienware Cryo-Tech cooling technology which optimizes thermal performance, along with the largest Whr battery capacity on a 14” gaming laptop capable of over 11 hours of HD video playback.

The Alienware x14 is the first 14” laptop supporting NVIDIA’s Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC technologies – so battery life is optimized even during immersive gaming sessions. The Alienware x14 is also the first Alienware laptop to use Type-C ports exclusively as charging ports.

Under the hood, you can find the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series processors and our exclusive thermal interface material, Element 31, in addition to Intel® Arc™ Graphics or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU with 7-phase voltage regulation.

For those who desire bigger displays but the same high portability, Dell is also unveiling upgrades to the improved Alienware x15 R2 and Alienware x17 R2, which includes a completely new set of graphics options from NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 30 Series, 12th Gen Intel Core processors, faster memory and AlienFX stadium lighting.

For extreme gaming performance that delivers a competitive edge, Alienware m17 R5 blasts past the competition as the most powerful 17-inch AMD Advantage™ gaming laptop in the world.

With a whole lot of AMD – AMD Ryzen™ 6000 Series processors, AMD Radeon™ RX graphics, AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology, AMD SmartShift MAX, AMD Smart Access Memory™ technology, and the first available laptop to feature AMD SmartAccess Graphics – our all-new m17 delivers an incredible combination of gaming technologies spanning hardware and software that create a gaming experience greater than the sum of its parts.

All of this is cured with Alienware Cryo-tech cooling technology including graphics vapour chamber cooling to sustain high-performance through long marathon gaming sessions.

Dell is also offering the mid-size Alienware m15 R7, a 15-inch model available with either AMD Ryzen™processors or 12th Gen Intel Core H-series processors now supporting the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-Series GPUs.

Kick Your Senses Into High Gear

Alongside these devices, Dell is bringing the gaming experience to a whole new level with its new peripherals, designed for out-of-this-world viewing experiences, top-notch sound quality, customisable features and ergonomics.

Datapac, Ireland’s leading technology solutions and services provider, has announced that its managed services revenues grew to €6m in 2021. A significant part of this growth was the increased demand for its managed IT helpdesk service which increased by more than 50% last year.

Demand for the managed IT helpdesk service has been driven by rising end-user expectations of customer support consistency and availability, a shortage of skilled IT professionals to deliver customer support in-house, and a need to manage new ways of working, particularly from home.

Datapac’s IT helpdesk service provides a fully-managed support desk for organisations and their end-users. The service operates as an extension of the organisation, so when an end-user contacts the helpdesk, the experience is no different as to if they had contacted an internally operated service.

In recent years, Datapac has expanded its customer support team as well as evolving and enhancing its service infrastructure to meet a rising market demand for managed IT helpdesk services. This includes an investment in best-in-class management platforms, new automated technologies, and a more than €500,000 investment per annum in training and development for its team.

Datapac’s managed IT helpdesk service is designed to provide flexibility to Irish businesses, including the ability to increase or decrease levels of support to manage spikes or lulls in demand. This is particularly useful for businesses impacted by Covid-19, enabling customer support service continuity even with remote or hybrid working policies in place and the increased possibility of team absences. Gaining a transparent, controllable, fixed monthly cost for the user support function is vital for most businesses in the current climate.

Datapac’s total managed services customer base has grown beyond 750, with Irish organisations from a range of sectors utilising the managed IT helpdesk service, including Special Olympics Ireland, Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), and Kefron.

Businesses can avail of varying levels of support from Datapac. As well as the provision of a call management platform with end-user queries managed from initial logging through to close-off and reporting, customers can also escalate organisation level issues to Datapac’s specialist infrastructure teams.

Karen O’Connor, general manager, Datapac, said: “Organisations face an increasingly high bar for meeting the support expectations of their end-users, who are now accustomed to high levels of availability and faster response times. This can be a challenge for businesses and many are turning to managed providers like Datapac with the skills, knowledge and infrastructure in place to integrate within an organisation and provide seamless IT helpdesk support.

“Businesses across Ireland have been facing entirely new challenges and having a reliable and flexible support service in place at a fixed monthly cost is a huge benefit, allowing them to focus internal resources and attention on their core activities and strategy. Datapac’s expertly skilled support team, high levels of accreditation, and commitment to continuous improvement mean that our customers and their end-users can work securely and productively from any location, safe in the knowledge that Datapac is on hand to help.”

Ireland is facing an undersupply of skilled and experienced candidates in the financial services sector and competition to attract talent is expected to be intense this year, according to Matrix Recruitment.

The recruitment firm, which published its Salary Guide for 2022, saw a 52% increase in jobs in accounting and finance in the first half of 2021 (v the same period in 2020) and anticipates further demand as we move through the year.

Speaking about the employment outlook for 2022, MD of Matrix Recruitment, Kieran McKeown said: “The jobs market has grown significantly in the past year and while things can change quickly, largely driven by the pandemic, all indicators are that the recruitment market will remain dynamic throughout 2022.

“With many sectors struggling to fill job vacancies, it’s very much a candidates’ market right now. We know from our research that 43% of workers in Ireland are not happy in their jobs, so there has never been a better time to consider a new job or indeed, a new career.

We are hearing a lot about ‘the Great Resignation’ with many people leaving their jobs in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, having rethought their career goals and this is a trend we see continuing into next year,” said Kieran McKeown of Matrix, which produces an annual Salary Guide that reviews salaries for the current year, while forecasting trends for the coming year.

Modest Growth in Salaries in Financial Services, Accountancy & IT Sectors

While salaries for many financial roles are not expected to jump during 2022, certain areas can expect to see modest growth, especially in the capital. A senior/lead fund accountant (private equity), for example, can expect to command a salary of €45k – €58k (up 5% on 2021 figures).

In the regions, those working in the insurance sector may also see incremental increases in wages. Maximum salaries for claims managers will increase by 7% during 2022, from €65,000 a year to €70,000. However, salaries for a personal lines administrator working in the regions could increase by as much as 20%, according to the 2022 Matrix Recruitment Salary Guide.

The recruitment agency is also predicting double-digit growth in tech spending by financial services companies. In fact, investment in tech is expected across the board and with many businesses going digital, programming candidates are in demand, particularly those who are adept at the latest versions of JavaScript and other programming resources.

Remote work is also driving this demand as businesses seek out agile IT talent that can provide quick response remote desktop support. This demand has caused an increase in salaries for IT support roles across the country.

This isn’t the only way that remote work is influencing salaries and the recruitment firm has seen a rise in salaries for roles outside the greater Dublin area. “Rising property prices, rents and the continuation of government advice to work from home is seeing many people leave Dublin and relocate to the countryside.

This means that there is a widening of the talent pool in the Midlands, West and South and we are seeing marginal increases on salaries in these areas, particularly for roles in IT, engineering and accountancy,” said Kieran McKeown.

Pharmaceuticals, Public Sector & Healthcare

It will come as no surprise to learn that pharmaceuticals, medical devices and public sector roles were in high demand in 2021, topping Matrix Recruitment’s jobs database, followed closely by roles in healthcare.

Last year, there was significant growth in the pharmaceutical sector mainly due to company expansions, investments, and the ever-evolving COVID-19 vaccine journey. For 2022, Matrix Recruitment predicts a rise in cross-industry and cross-enterprise collaboration in areas such as research and development. This will result in candidates having to be open to contract work in the months ahead as they may be required to work on projects continuously.

Salaries will mainly be in keeping with 2021 sala...

Adopted from the US military over a decade ago, the term ‘VUCA’ – volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous – describes unpredictable environments.

Driven by globalisation, economic and political instability, social and cultural shifts, and rapid technological change, today’s VUCA working environment is synonymous with new and unexpected challenges.

Creating SOUND employees is key to your organisation’s ability to thrive in this environment. A ‘SOUND’ employee is ‘resource-full’. They create, build and maintain the right cognitive, emotional and physical resources that they need and then deploy them in a way that is flexible, adaptable, innovative, smart, positive, self-aware, engaged and successful.

When employees are exhausted, stressed and channelling all of their resources into coping, that employee has reduced capacity in the smart part of the brain. Employees with depleted resources are unable to process information fully, leading to negative attitudes, cynicism, emotional responses, and an inability to adapt, change or be innovative.

SOUND employees go beyond reactively coping. They achieve this state by knowing themselves: which resources deplete them and which replenish them.

People who are SOUND monitor their resource levels, and they actively seek and develop the resources that they need when they need them. Having gained these resources, the SOUND employee chooses where to invest and deploy them. They use their resources to manage their environment, rather than the environment managing their resources.

SOUND employees are able to notice and manage their thoughts and emotions, recognising that these can use up resources unnecessarily. In understanding that the brain can work with or against them, they manage it accordingly, creating clarity of thought and rational responses. A SOUND person has the resources – and desire – to learn, grow and become better every day.

So, how can leaders create SOUND employees?

1. Provide meaning and purpose: for the employee, not the organisation! Connect the vision of the organisation to the individuals’ own aspirations and purpose. Create goals that enable both organisation and individual goals to co-exist. In doing so you are providing a cause that they can relate to, competence and connectedness.

2. Support growth and wellness, both within and outside the organisation. Individuals need to be able to live a brain-healthy lifestyle: from getting enough sleep to finding time to relax. In maintaining a healthy brain, employees can also deploy more advanced techniques to feel emotionally safe and mentally resilient. Give people what they need to be able to succeed physically, mentally and professionally.

3. Be consistent. Constant change is prevalent and necessary for an organisation’s survival in a VUCA World. Change is also important for the human: we change all the time, and the brain is exceptionally flexible, known as neuroplasticity. So employees can change.

It is a lack of consistency that the brain is hardwired to perceive as a threat. When receiving conflicting messages, it’s a wise move for the brain to err on the side of caution. What messages are you communicating to your employees? What story are you sharing? What language is being used?

Is this uniform across all areas of the business? Do actions support this story? Are the behaviours across your leadership team consistent? Are processes and norms applied in a consistent way? When words and deeds don’t match, this reduces employee safety. The natural response to this is to find somewhere that does feel safe.

4. Think carefully about the words you use when communicating. Organisational phrases such as ‘downsizing’, ‘increased efficiencies’ and ‘repurposing’ awaken employees’ fears and remove psychological safety – making it impossible for them to perform at their best.

5. Set your employees up for success. Leadership is not about you being the “boss”, the “decision maker” or having all the answers. Leadership is about ...

Cybersecurity company Surfshark has announced the official release of Incogni, a tool that helps prevent your personal information from being stored and sold by data brokers.

Upon the customers’ request, the tool will identify and communicate with dozens of data broker companies, so that the person’s details can be deleted from their databases.

The users will be able to follow the progress on how many companies were contacted, which companies have deleted their data and which companies are in the progress of doing so.

Leading names in the data brokerage industry currently own data on hundreds of millions of consumers, some boasting up to 1500 data points per consumer.

Alarmingly enough, this market is expanding and is estimated to reach US$345 billion in 2026. With the introduction of GDPR and CCPA, all these companies are subject to giving or deleting information they hold on the person if they receive a formal request.

However, contacting each firm could take ages due to the excessive response frameworks companies have crafted and perfected.

Surfshark’s team of researchers contacted 36 data broker companies on their own to show how difficult this process can be. To get a final response took a little over 6 days from our first letter with each new data broker and more than 20 days with each established one.

As 36 contacted data brokers make up only 1% of the existing market (4000 companies), it would take 66 years to finalise one person’s data inquiry requests by hand.

Furthermore, 63% of the large data brokers asked for additional personal data which is not necessary to complete the inquiry (outside of ID copy), asking for a bank statement or even e-signature and thus prolonging the procedure.

“Data privacy is becoming an increasingly alarming issue, yet many people are still unaware of the hidden market that data brokers operate in,” – points out Vytautas Kaziukonis, Chief Executive Officer of Surfshark.

“As the sensitivity and scope of data they possess widen, so does the need to be able to opt-out of it. However, based on recent studies, the actual process of taking back data is an extremely tedious procedure, which requires legal knowledge and lots of persistence.

“Incogni aims to help users opt-out of these practices more efficiently and exercise their legal right to privacy easily.”

The Incogni privacy tool is available for purchase at the official link:.

Dell Technologies today unveiled new products at CES 2022 across its XPS and display portfolios to help take collaboration and visual experiences to the next level.

The new XPS 13 Plus is the company’s most powerful device yet, with a sleek keyboard, function row, touchpad and palm rest delivering a clean, iconic appearance that is light to the touch and complemented by curved, comfy edges throughout.

Heightened senses for heightened creativity

Dell has enhanced both sight and sound in the new XPS 13 Plus. Its pioneering 4-sided InfinityEdge display continues to deliver a virtually borderless viewing experience and the company has reduced the number of layers from the display screen to improve clarity and reduce weight.

Designed with larger keycaps (also known as zero-lattice), the keyboard is comfortable, smooth and efficient with every keystroke. The top row of the keyboard is now cleaner, thanks to a new capacitive touch experience that allows you to switch between media and function keys easily.

The new XPS 13 Plus is the first XPS made using hydro-power renewable energy sources, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the aluminium and is 100% recyclable so it can be reused in new PCs.

“It’s no coincidence the new XPS 13 Plus is our most powerful yet, considering it was inspired by Gen-Z, a group that knows who they are, where they want to go and demands the horsepower they need to get there,” said Donnie Oliphan, Senior Director of XPS, Dell Technologies. “Modern and stylish, yet approachable and efficient – simple and intentional are the new definition of premium. Redesigned from the ground up with more performance than ever before, the XPS 13 Plus makes it so you can do everything you love to do in style.”

Collaborative and Visual Experience

With collaboration tools critical for a digital world, Dell has continued to invest in the ecosystem around the PC. This includes the CES Innovation Award Honouree, the new Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Video Conferencing Monitor. Featuring category-defining UltraSharp Webcam, echo cancelling dual-array microphones and 14W speakers, this monitor provides the best collaboration and visual experience possible, making it feel like you’re there in person.

Ground-breaking IPS Black technology and VESA DisplayHDR 400 lets you view content in greater detail with 4K resolution, contrast and colour – while ComfortView Plus reduces harmful blue-light emissions and retains colour accuracy.

Then there’s the video conferencing capabilities. The new UltraSharp is certified for Microsoft Teams and comes with privacy and productivity features – letting you easily come on and off mute, enable/disable the camera with SafeShutter and quickly sign-in and out.

Pricing and availability

XPS 13 Plus is available worldwide Spring 2022, with Windows 11 or Ubuntu 20.04 on the Developer Edition. Pricing to be confirmed nearer to shipping date.

Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Video Conferencing Monitor (U3223QZ) is available worldwide on March 29th. Pricing to be confirmed nearer to shipping date.

New research has revealed that business leaders see the biggest risk facing their organisations as ‘a return of tight public health restrictions caused by COVID-19 and its variants’.

These advance findings are from the IoD’s latest Director Sentiment Monitor research report, for Q4 2021, to be published in January 2022.

The research also reveals that the largest cohort (37%) of business leaders in a new Institute of Directors (IoD) in Ireland survey don’t foresee the majority of staff being in the office/workplace until Q2 2022, while 30% think it will be in Q1 2022. Just 8% believe it will be in January, while only 6% believe it will be in February.

There is a note of optimism, however, in the finding that 31% of business leaders are more optimistic about the economy than the previous quarter, with 28% more pessimistic and 41% signifying ‘no change’ from the previous three months.

Commenting on the IoD’s Q4 Director Sentiment Monitor findings, Maura Quinn, Chief Executive of the Institute of Directors in Ireland, said: “With many staff returning to the workplace for at least some of the time during autumn 2021, the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has seen a significant return to remote working.

“While the rollout of the booster vaccine programme has been swift and widespread, it looks like the public health restrictions already in place will remain so for the foreseeable future.

“Our research finds that 37% of business leaders see the second quarter of the year as the period when a majority of staff will likely be in the office/workplace. Furthermore, it should be of note that business leaders now see the biggest business risk as ‘a return of tight public health restrictions caused by COVID-19 and its variants’.”

Key Findings

The advance, key findings of the IoD’s Director Sentiment Monitor for Q4 2021 include:

Return to Office/Workplace: When asked, ‘In respect of your primary organisation, and in view of the deteriorating public health situation and possible further restrictions, when do you foresee the majority of staff being in the office/workplace by?’ the business leaders selected as follows:

January 2022: 8% — February 2022: 6% — March 2022: 16% — April – June (Q2) 2022: 37% — July -September (Q3) 2022: 10% — October – December (Q4) 2022: 3% — Don’t know: 12% — Not applicable: all or most staff will work remotely in future: 7%

Biggest risk: When asked, ‘At present, what do you believe is the single biggest risk facing your organisation?’ the respondents chose as follows (top four findings):

A return of tight public health restrictions caused by COVID-19 and its variants: 24% — Labour sourcing/quality/capability/retention: 18% — Global supply chain issues: 7% — Rising costs of raw materials: 7% — EU-UK trade and political relations issues: 6% — Geopolitical/economic instability: 6%
