God has always planned on saving you. You were never an afterthought or a last-minute consideration. Not only have you been chosen before time began (1 Peter 1:2), but throughout the ages your salvation has been expected and planned for. The spokesmen of the Old Testament wrote about Jesus' coming and the new covenant of grace, which you are now a part of. All this makes our salvation more secure than ever, built on the bedrock of His promises.
We're headed back to the Stone Age for a look at the (b)romance of Brian Levant's feature film adaptation of The Flintstones, starring John Goodman, Rick Moranis, and a whole lot of other comedy stars. Join in as we discuss our favorite background gags, the 1994 box office, the movie's infamously large writing team, and our complete befuddlement at Kyle MacLachlan's evil plan. Plus: How was John Goodman pressured into taking the role of Fred? Why didn't Barney know everyone else would be at the restaurant? Why does the theme song play three separate times? And, most importantly, what about this was supposed to appeal to children? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

The Bedrock is where the resources sit—and what everything above it is built on. It's what we build with, and ultimately, what determines the strength and longevity of what we leave behind.In this episode, we bring together conversations with Jon Cherry , Stephen Donohue , and J.T. Starzeki —leaders who are focused on the bedrock of America and the responsibility that comes with stewarding its resources. They speak candidly about where we need to be more intentional, how we need to change the way we look at domestic resources, and what it means to lead that change rather than wait for it.These are men who are stepping up to the line—pioneering new approaches, leading with conviction, and doing the work required to make a real difference. This is why they are part of Better In Our Back Yard , and why they are committed to building a future that is stronger, more responsible, and more sustainable—for you and for me.As Better In Our Backyard recently gathered for its Annual Dinner, this conversation serves as an important reminder. While most of us go about our daily lives, there are men and women across mining organizations and companies doing the work that makes those lives possible—providing the materials, energy, and foundation our future is built on. The Bedrock is about recognizing that responsibility and choosing to build on it the right way.--------------------------WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848-------------------------FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/JoshuadmellottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JoshuadmellottLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-d-mellott-0b0525118/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCC11qG6HXWP7TmVMr_Sv7Vg--------------------------FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacklineltd?igsh=a2wwbzJ3Y3Jjd2o4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095504736514LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/blackline-ltd/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@blacklineLTDWebsite: https://www.blacklineltd.com/--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7?si=0da16a8fb2574ca4Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848

John brings us a sermon on the Word of God, exploring its authority, inspiration, power, reliability, inerrancy, infallibility, its influence on history and its role as the source of truth and life from whence we establish our foundation of faith.
Berlin-based producer Tantum, aka Thomas Koch, came up as a guitarist before channeling a decade of instrumental discipline into a refined electronic sound rooted in analog warmth, restrained tension and steady momentum. Moving fluidly between minimal, techno and progressive house, he broke through with his 2020 debut on Guy J's Lost & Found, setting the tone for a steady run of club-focused releases. Subsequent outings on labels including Bedrock, Radikon, Poker Flat and Monaberry have cemented his reputation, earning consistent support from key selectors across the scene. Since 2025, he has also helmed the keep my letters imprint, extending his curatorial vision while delivering DJ and live sets built around long arcs, deep grooves and euphoric release. For this Balance Selections mix, Tantum delivers a two-hour journey steeped in refined progressive drama. Featuring music from Frankey & Sandrino, Andrés Moris, Guy J and more, this is an impressive showcase of track selection and narrative which unfolds with purpose from start to finish. @tantum-music

The Nicene Creed has been a bedrock of Christian orthodoxy for 1700 years. But what is it and why was it written? Does the Nicene Creed still matter today? Stephen Russell describes what led to the formation of the Nicene Creed. He argues that we, like the early Anabaptists, should affirm and use the Nicene Creed in our lives and churches.In this episode Stephen briefly mentions catechesis (instruction class).

Amber is a Senior Geologist for the Maine Geological Survey, a state agency in the Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry that "provides the people and businesses of Maine with essential geologic information about the land where we live and work." Maine has a complex geologic history, and it's made all the harder to study due to the large amount of forest and cover (as opposed to places like New Mexico where the geologic layers are more easily observed).This conversation was recorded in November 2025. ~~~~~The Maine Science Podcast is a production of the Maine Discovery Museum. It is recorded at Discovery Studios, at the Maine Discovery Museum, in Bangor, ME. The Maine Science Podcast is hosted and executive produced by Kate Dickerson; edited and produced by Scott Loiselle.

For 250 years, this country has been built by men and women willing to step up to the line—willing to walk on the dirt, stand on the ground, and do the work that begins at the bedrock. Long before headlines and soundbites, there was responsibility. There was stewardship. There was an understanding that what lies beneath our feet matters, because it supports everything above it—our communities, our economy, and our way of life.As we enter the first four weeks of January 2026, Blackline—in partnership with Better In Our Backyard—will be sharing a four-part series of real, honest conversations rooted in that foundation. Each week, we'll release an episode leading into the Better In Our Backyard Annual Dinner on January 15, centered on responsible industrial development, strong local economies, and the people who do the work that sustains modern life.The series unfolds in four parts: The Dirt. The Ground. The Bedrock. And The Backyard.These conversations are about more than industry—they're about responsibility. About developing resources the right way. About investing in local workforces, strengthening communities, and educating people on why domestic mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure matter. Better In Our Backyard exists to bring value to the companies, organizations, and men and women who walk on the dirt, stand on the ground, and build on the bedrock of this country—so families can thrive and communities can endure.Over the next four weeks, follow along—and stand alongside other like-minded men, women, and organizations who believe a stronger future is built locally, intentionally, and with care. If that resonates, you can learn more and register to attend the Better In Our Backyard Annual Dinner on January 15 through the link. Because a better economy, a better community, and a better future all start the same way—right here, in our backyard.--------------------------WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7 Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848-------------------------FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/JoshuadmellottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JoshuadmellottLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-d-mellott-0b0525118/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCC11qG6HXWP7TmVMr_Sv7Vg--------------------------FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacklineltd?igsh=a2wwbzJ3Y3Jjd2o4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095504736514LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/blackline-ltd/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@blacklineLTDWebsite: https://www.blacklineltd.com/--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7?si=0da16a8fb2574ca4Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848

The Book of Romans reveals how the gospel transformed the ancient world and can transform ours today. Paul makes clear that the good news of Jesus Christ is for everyone, regardless of background or status, because all people face the universal problem of sin. While we struggle with our fallen nature, there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. This truth comes with responsibility to share the gospel and live transformed lives. Christians must refuse to conform to worldly patterns, stay alert to false teaching, and remain courageous in their faith. Just as faithful believers changed a hostile Roman Empire, today's Christians can impact our post-Christian culture through commitment to God's Word, discernment of truth, and courageous living.

We are delighted to announce the first ever Irish episode of Russell Tovey and Robert Diament's acclaimed Talk Art podcast, recorded live at the National Gallery of Ireland Lecture Theatre on Saturday November 8th for Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025.Isabel Nolan, Ireland's representative at the 2026 Venice Biennale, has an expansive practice that incorporates sculptures, paintings, textile works, photographs, writing and works on paper. Her subject matter is similarly comprehensive, taking in cosmological phenomena, religious reliquaries, Greco-Roman sculptures and literary/historical figures, examining the behaviour of humans and animals alike.These diverse artistic investigations are driven by intensive research, but the end result is always deeply personal and subjective. Exploring the “intimacy of materiality”, Nolan's work ranges from the architectural – steel sculptures that frame or obstruct our path – to small handmade objects in clay, hand-tufted wool rugs illuminated with striking cosmic imagery, to drawings and paintings using humble gouache or colouring pencils. In concert, they feel equally enchanted by and afraid of the world around us, expressing humanity's fear of mortality and deep need for connection as well as its startling achievements in art and thought.Driven by “the calamity, the weirdness, horror, brevity and wonder of existing alongside billions of other preoccupied humans”, her works give generous form to fundamental questions about the ways the chaos of the world is made beautiful or given meaning through human activity.In 2026, Nolan will represent Ireland at the 61st Venice Biennale, with Georgina Jackson and The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art as the curator and Cian O'Brien as producer. In 2025, Nolan participated in the 13th Liverpool Biennial, Bedrock, curated by Marie-Anne McQuay. Isabel Nolan lives and works in Dublin.Follow @NolanIsabel and @KerlinGallery.Thank you @DublinGalleryWeekend, we loved visiting! We can't wait to return to beautiful Ireland. Hosted on Acast.

Dans un show massif à Las Vegas, AWS affiche sa puissance : innovations IA full stack, nouveaux modèles Nova, partenariat renforcé avec Nvidia et ambition d'imposer une plateforme mondiale d'agents intelligents.Une démonstration de force au cœur de Las VegasAWS réunit 60 000 participants dans une effervescence qui rappelle l'écosystème mondial du cloud. L'événement met en scène la place centrale d'AWS dans l'infrastructure d'internet, au service de milliers d'entreprises, de la finance au streaming. L'organisation détaille sa vision à travers son grand rassemblement annuel, présenté sur scène par son CEO Matt Garman.L'enjeu principal est clair : Amazon veut montrer qu'il reste l'un des piliers du web moderne. Ce contexte donne le ton des annonces, pensées pour renforcer la maîtrise technologique d'un bout à l'autre de la chaîne. L'infrastructure, jusqu'ici invisible pour le grand public, devient l'argument clé d'une domination assumée.L'ambition du “full stack” et la course à la puissanceSur scène, Matt Garman insiste sur une vision : tout contrôler, des puces aux logiciels. Avec la puce Tranium 3 et l'annonce de Tranium 4, AWS s'affirme dans la bataille mondiale du calcul haute performance.Cette stratégie s'appuie à la fois sur ses propres puces et sur un partenariat renforcé avec Nvidia, permettant d'alimenter les serveurs les plus puissants du marché. L'objectif affiché : fournir l'assise matérielle des futurs agents IA et répondre à une demande exponentielle de puissance. Le cloud évolue ainsi vers un modèle toujours plus intégré.Nova et Bedrock : la bataille des modèles d'IAAWS renforce sa plateforme Amazon Bedrock et accueille de nouveaux modèles, dont ceux de Mistral AI. Mais la véritable rupture vient des modèles maison Amazon Nova, conçus pour les usages business plutôt que grand public.Avec Nova Sonic, dédié aux conversations naturelles et déjà utilisé dans Amazon Connect, AWS mise sur une IA plus fluide et expressive. NovaForge, nouvel outil de création de modèles personnalisés, permet aux entreprises d'entraîner leurs propres IA sur leurs données, ouvrant un accès simplifié aux modèles sur mesure. L'ensemble dessine une stratégie cohérente : devenir incontournable dans la production et l'exploitation de modèles professionnels.L'ère des agents intelligentsAWS annonce un futur où des milliards d'agents autonomes composeront l'environnement numérique. Ces programmes travailleront en continu, coopéreront et automatiseront une part importante des tâches.Cette vision place AWS au centre d'un basculement comparable à celui du web ou du smartphone. Mais elle pose aussi la question de la souveraineté numérique, notamment depuis l'Europe. La route paraît serrée face à de tels mastodontes américains, même si l'innovation reste porteuse d'opportunités pour startups et entreprises locales.➡️ À lire aussi : l'article complet sur les innovations annoncées par AWShttps://mondenumerique.info/blog/aws-dvoile-sa-nouvelle-gnration-dia-vers-des-milliards-dagents-et-de-nouveaux-modles-nova-surdous-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

This week on Destination on the Left, we bring you the first special roadshow installment from the Atlantic Canada Showcase 2025 in beautiful Saint John, New Brunswick. In this episode, we dive into the deep-rooted community spirit and storytelling tradition that make Atlantic Canada such a fantastic destination. You'll hear firsthand from passionate tourism professionals across the region, who will share powerful insights on how authenticity, connection, and collaboration are shaping travel experiences in Atlantic Canada—offering everything from local cuisine and hands-on adventures to heritage attractions and indigenous-led hospitality. Get ready to discover why Atlantic Canada continues to redefine what it means to experience genuine hospitality. In this episode, you'll hear from these extraordinary leaders: Aubrey Reine: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aubrey-reine-30913062/ Annick Robichaud-Butland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annick-robichaud-butland-bb436b68/ Christy Elliott: https://balsamridgeforestdomes.ca/ Melissa Lansing: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-lansing/ Chelsey Gould: linkedin.com/in/chelsey-gould Olivia Morley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivia-morley-0a2627171/ Judith LaBrie: ca.linkedin.com/in/judith-labrie-49a46315 Lois Whitlock: https://wolastoqcasino.com/ Rebecca Whiffen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-whiffen-a89934320/ Xavier Gauvin: https://tourismepeninsuleacadienne.ca/en/ Jordan Jamison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-jamison-nb/ Marcy Barnes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcy-barnes-8b98092b/ Authenticity is the Bedrock of Atlantic Canada's Appeal More and more, travelers crave experiences that feel genuine; not manufactured or packaged, but rooted in the real culture and history of a place. As our guests point out, Atlantic Canada captures the essence of what travelers are seeking in 2025, authenticity, connection, and a sense of place. Whether it's coastal escapes, heritage attractions, or culinary adventures, guests find themselves meeting people with deep roots and big hearts, engaged in traditions that tie them to the land and sea. This sense of authenticity isn't just a surface feature, it's immersive and personal. As travelers become savvier, the human warmth and raw natural beauty of Atlantic Canada offer lasting impressions that go far beyond the typical tourist checklist. Creating a Sense of Belonging The region's defining feature isn't just its scenery—it's the spirit of its people. "Family," "welcome," "authentic," and "wonderful" were the most common words repeated by various tourism professionals when asked to sum up the Atlantic Canada Showcase experience. For Annick Robichaud-Butland, the laid-back lifestyle and genuine friendliness are irresistible for those looking to escape the rushed pace of everyday life. This communal sense goes deeper, too. Leaders like Christy Elliott from Balsam Ridge Forest Domes emphasize personal attention and the importance of treating every guest like family. At King's Landing Historical Settlement, the experience isn't just about history—it's about making personal connections that make visitors feel it's "their King's Landing, not just ours," as Melissa Lansing shares. Across properties and attractions, the trend is clear: travelers want to feel like locals, supported by genuine interactions, community-driven partnerships, and experiences that foster a true sense of belonging. A Cooperative Spirit Elevates the Guest Experience Atlantic Canada's tourism boom is built on a foundation of cooperation. Tour operators and destinations frequently cross-sell one another's products and services, ensuring that visitors enjoy fully-rounded itineraries and seamless transitions between provinces. For Annick Robichaud-Butland, collaborating with other receptive tour operators means providing a well-rounded itinerary and boosting economic potential for all partners. Organizations like Explore New Brunswick also highlight region-wide cooperative marketing efforts, such as the Atlantic Canada Agreement on Tourism—a pitch that unites Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island under one friendly umbrella. This collaborative approach allows the region to punch above its weight, attracting record numbers of buyers and making Atlantic Canada a must-watch destination on the travel map. Sustainability, Seasonality, and Personalization As travel recovers post-pandemic, Atlantic Canada is seeing dynamic changes in visitor interests. Regenerative travel, off-season exploration, culinary journeys, heritage tourism, and multi-generational trips are all on the rise. Local experts are adapting by introducing winter offerings, hands-on activities, food-and-beverage experiences, and expanding digital storytelling platforms to reach both Canadian and international audiences. Repeat guests are increasing, with many super fans returning year after year to deepen their exploration. New partnerships, enhanced seasonal operations, and innovations—like Nordic spas and astro-tourism—are key drivers keeping the region vibrant and relevant. Above all, Atlantic Canada consistently inspires, welcomes, and connects with travelers in ways that are both meaningful and memorable. Atlantic Canada isn't just a destination—it's a way to feel at home, no matter where you're from. We value your thoughts and feedback and would love to hear from you.

L'ennesimo vertice sull'ex Ilva, tenutosi a Palazzo Chigi sotto il coordinamento del sottosegretario Alfredo Mantovano (nella foto), non ha portato a risultati concreti. I segretari generali di Fim, Fiom e Uilm hanno accusato il ministro Urso di "tradimento" e chiesto l'intervento diretto della presidente del Consiglio. Secondo i sindacati, il governo avrebbe presentato un piano di chiusura, con 6.000 cassintegrati, invece del piano di riconversione atteso. L'esecutivo ha illustrato un piano operativo a "ciclo corto", che riduce a quattro anni il percorso di decarbonizzazione ma prevede l'aumento del numero di dipendenti in cassa integrazione a 5.700 unità, poi 6.000 da gennaio. Urso avrebbe inoltre confermato l'esistenza di una "trattativa riservata" con un nuovo operatore interessato all'ex Ilva, oltre ai fondi Bedrock e Flacks, che avrebbero offerto zero euro per gli asset. Secondo Il Sole 24 Ore, ci sarebbero stati contatti anche con Qatar Steel, che però non ha ancora presentato una manifestazione formale di interesse. I tempi per la cessione di Acciaierie d'Italia si allungano e potrebbe rendersi necessario un nuovo intervento pubblico, forse in legge di bilancio, per garantire la continuità operativa. Intanto, il governo avrebbe chiesto a Eni un supporto tecnico per stabilizzare il costo del gas, elemento cruciale per il futuro impianto di preridotto (Dri) e per la riconversione verde dell'acciaieria. I sindacati restano preoccupati per i tagli e chiedono un coinvolgimento diretto dello Stato nel piano industriale. Ne parliamo con Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 OreTir, imprese e associazioni di categoria contro divieto di sorpasso in A1. Salvini avvia un tavolo tecnicoIl ministro dei Trasporti Matteo Salvini ha deciso di istituire un tavolo tecnico con le rappresentanze del settore autotrasporto per discutere il divieto di sorpasso ai mezzi pesanti sull'A1, introdotto da Autostrade per l'Italia dal 3 novembre. La misura, sperimentale per sei mesi, riguarda il tratto tra Incisa-Reggello e Chiusi, lungo circa 90 chilometri, e si applica ai veicoli sopra le 12 tonnellate. Le sanzioni per chi viola il divieto arrivano a 666 euro, con sospensione della patente e decurtazione di punti. Le associazioni di categoria, tra cui FAI, Fiap e Trasportounito, criticano la decisione, definendola un provvedimento unilaterale che penalizza il settore e aggrava le difficoltà operative. Il presidente della FAI, Paolo Uggè, ha chiesto la sospensione immediata delle sanzioni e la convocazione urgente di un tavolo di confronto. Dopo i primi giorni di applicazione del divieto, le imprese segnalano ritardi nelle consegne, code e disagi, con ripercussioni anche sulla E45. Le associazioni temono conseguenze economiche e di sicurezza, ribadendo che la sicurezza stradale non può essere perseguita a scapito della sostenibilità del trasporto. Interviene Paolo Uggè, Presidente Conftrasporto e FAI (Federazione Autotrasportatori Italiani).A2a, in 9 mesi ricavi in crescita ma cala l'utileA2a ha presentato i conti dei primi nove mesi dell'anno e il nuovo piano strategico al 2035, che prevede investimenti complessivi per 23 miliardi di euro, di cui 16 destinati alla transizione energetica e 7 all'economia circolare. Il gruppo punta alla neutralità climatica entro il 2050 e a un'espansione in nuovi mercati europei. Tuttavia, i conti trimestrali hanno deluso i mercati: a fronte di ricavi in crescita del 12% a 10,17 miliardi, il margine operativo lordo è sceso del 4% a 1,73 miliardi, l'utile operativo dell'11% a 956 milioni e l'utile netto del 19% a 581 milioni, soprattutto per la riduzione della produzione idroelettrica (-26%). Il gruppo conferma comunque le stime annuali. A2a ha inoltre costituito A2a Life Ventures, dedicata allo sviluppo di soluzioni digitali e di intelligenza artificiale, e ha siglato un PPA quindicennale con Erg per la fornitura di 2,7 TWh di energia eolica a partire dal 2027. Il 70% degli investimenti effettuati nei primi nove mesi è in linea con la tassonomia europea, rappresentando oltre la metà degli investimenti italiani conformi. Crescono anche la capacità installata delle reti elettriche (+67%) e la vendita di elettricità verde (+43%). Affrontiamo il tema proprio con Renato Mazzoncini, Ad A2a.
“We are moving beyond simple query-response to task completion.” AWS's Swami Sivasubramanian joins Bloomberg Intelligence Software and Technology Analyst Anurag Rana to contrast consumer chatbots with enterprise agents and the controls they require. Topics include Agent Core for secure deployment (identity, tool use, memory, observability), QuickSuite for business users, Kero for developer workflows, and Transform for code modernization. Their conversation extends into data access across silos, model choice on Bedrock, and why production agents demand governance, connectors, and context.
Today, we start a new, two-week series called Foundations. The purpose of this series is to look at creating a strong sense of discipleship in our lives. We will be looking at what is the foundation of discipleship and how we, as followers of Christ, can build off of that foundation. Today, we look at Matthew 7:24-27, and the familiar parable of the two builders. It asks us the question, "What is our life built on?" Thank you again for joining us in worship.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1153: Carvana expands its dealership experiment in Dallas, Berkshire Hathaway closes the books on its massive BYD bet, and Amazon steps up its AI game with a chat assistant for advertisers.Show Notes with links:Carvana is making another big move into franchised new-car sales, and this time it's happening in Dallas. The company has agreed to acquire Park Cities Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram-Fiat, marking its second foray into the world of traditional dealerships.This is Carvana's second franchised dealership after buying Jerry Seiner CDJR in Casa Grande, Arizona, earlier this year.Wood Motor Co. owner Chip Johnson, who sold the Dallas store, said it was simply the right time to sell and Carvana's offer made sense for the future of the dealershipThe deal reflects Carvana's ongoing experiment in blending its digital-first model with the in-person dealership experience.A Carvana spokesperson said: “We are in the very early days of testing as a franchise dealer… and we look forward to continuing to learn as we focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.”Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway have officially cashed out of their wildly successful bet on Chinese EV maker BYD. After holding the stock for 17 years, Berkshire confirmed it no longer owns a single share.This is the end of a $230 million investment made in 2008 at Charlie Munger's urging, which grew to nearly $9 billion at its peak.BYD shares skyrocketed about 3,890% during Berkshire's ownership, making it one of the firm's most lucrative EV-related plays.Buffett hasn't given a detailed reason for the exit but has voiced concern about geopolitical risks tied to China and Taiwan.On BYD, Buffett told CNBC: “It's an extraordinary company run by an extraordinary person, but I think that we'll find things to do with the money that I'll feel better about.”Amazon is stepping deeper into AI for marketers, rolling out a conversational chat assistant designed to act as a “creative partner” for brands advertising on its platform.The tool lives inside Amazon's Creative Studio and is launching in beta at no cost to advertisers.This is Amazon's first conversational AI ad assistant, built to help with research, brainstorming, storyboarding, and producing display and video ads.The assistant uses Amazon's massive shopper data and Bedrock foundation models like Nova and Anthropic Claude to give marketers campaign-ready assets.It's being pitched as a way to level the playing field, especially for smaller brands without big agency budgets.Amazon's VP Jay Richman said: “This is about more than speed — it's about giving every advertiser and agency access to the kind of strategic, high-quality creative support that once only large brands could afford.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
We're joined by Michigan law professor Richard Primus to talk about his new book, "The Oldest Constitutional Question: Enumerated and Federal Power." Richard describes one of the the most widespread beliefs about constitutional law -- that the federal government is one of limited, enumerated powers -- and why he thinks it is actually wrong. Along the way, we discuss methods of constitutional interpretation, the relationship between the official story of the law and legal practice, and wrestle with the surprisingly hard question of how many congressional powers are listed in the Constitution.
