Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines and social media in recent days with the surprise release of his massive new album Swag II. According to ABC News and Good Morning America, Bieber dropped Swag II just after midnight on Friday, teasing fans across multiple Instagram posts. The album's pink cover has been splashed across billboards in Times Square, Atlanta, and even Iceland, where Bieber reportedly spent time recording at Floki Studios earlier this year. Swag II follows his July release Swag, which spawned viral hits like Daisies and Yukon, and marked Bieber's strongest streaming debut to date. CNN notes that Swag was named the song of the summer by The Atlantic, defining the mood of 2025 with its laid-back pop energy and high-profile collaborations. Bieber is clearly in a prolific creative phase, putting out over forty songs in just two months.Swag II ups the ante, delivering 44 tracks that range from trap and R and B to gospel and spiritual reflection, with collaborators as diverse as Marvin Winans and Sexyy Red as reported by StupidDope. This sprawling project has been described as both a playlist-worthy ecosystem and a strategic move for streaming dominance. Industry analysts point to Bieber's willingness to blur genre lines and stretch his sound as a key factor in maintaining his cultural relevance and broad appeal. On release night, Canadian radio hosts and social media users alike chimed in about technical delays, with Bieber himself posting numerous updates and jokes about the album being late to streaming platforms. Fans seemed equally amused and frustrated until Swag II finally dropped about three hours behind schedule. Virgin Radio recounted Bieber quoting his own paparazzi video and commiserating with listeners, demonstrating that he's still deeply engaged with his fanbase.Bieber's business activities have also made waves recently, with Spreaker reporting on his ever-expanding fashion brand SKYLRK. Since launching in July, SKYLRK has begun branching out beyond apparel with hints at futuristic furniture designs. On the personal front, Bieber and wife Hailey welcomed their son Jack Blues last August according to CNN, one of the few glimpses he has shared into his private life during a period marked by intense professional output. Gossip columns buzzed this week after a fan posted photos of Justin surprising a bride at a wedding in Los Angeles, proving he's still capable of creating viral moments outside the studio. While unconfirmed rumors swirled about Bieber making last-minute changes to Swag II before release, the overall consensus is that he's operating at a level of ambition and productivity not seen since his early career. With Swag II poised to drive playlist placements and social chatter, and a scheduled fan event in Anaheim later this month, it is clear that Justin Bieber has no intention of stepping back from the limelight anytime soon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

What do your views on holiday or seasonal items say about you. For some people seasonal boundaries are clear and strict. Pumpkin spice in the fall. Peppermint in December. Holiday music only after Thanksgiving. For me it is different. I drink iced coffee year round. Sometimes that iced coffee has gingerbread flavor in the spring or peppermint in the summer. I watch winter themed series on Netflix in the middle of the year. And yes, Christmas music starts for me on November first at the latest.I think the way we look at seasonality reflects something deeper. If you like things clearly defined you probably value order and predictability. That makes sense because life throws us plenty of curveballs. If you prefer mixing things up you may thrive on curiosity and flexibility. Neither way is right or wrong. What matters is being open to exploring traditions, perspectives, and experiences different from your own. That curiosity helps us understand each other better.I would love to hear your take.

Why do we design indoor spaces the way we do? What are the unseen socio-cultural impacts involved and how do they impact other aspects of the indoor environment that we can not see? Today, we're unpacking the idea that our indoor environments are not just passive shelters - they are complex, multifaceted situations with competing goals and perspectives. As our guest, Dr. Liz McCormick shares, our relationship with indoor space is a rich, interdependent web of circumstances that stretches well beyond the boundaries of any single discipline. We'll be bringing together insights from architecture, anthropology, and ecology to explore the substantial footprint of our built environments—physically, on a scale equivalent to global grasslands and tropical forests; psychologically, as we experience thermal blandness and a disconnect from nature; and ecologically, as we grapple with a misplaced sense of separation from the "dirt" and the world outside our carefully conditioned spaces. This conversation will challenge us to rethink outdated ideas and address why the air we live in—this "material" we are in constant contact with—matters so much for our health. We'll be looking at a comprehensive model for indoor air quality, considering the crucial interactions between pollutants, their pathways, and our exposure. Buckle up for another thoughtful adventure on the Building Science Podcast!Links from the Episode:Buildings don't use energy: people doEntomological HappeningsThe Architecture of Vector ControlLiz McCormickMcCormick is a licensed architect, educator, and researcher whose work explores healthy, climatically sensitive, and contextually appropriate building design strategies that connect occupants to the outdoors while also reducing the dependence on mechanical conditioning technologies. Her recent book, Inside OUT: Human Health & the Air-Conditioning Era (Routledge), tells the rich story of both the social and technological drivers of the conditioned indoors while making an argument for thoughtful interventions in the built environment. It brings together a multi-disciplinary group of experts of the indoors, including scientists, anthropologists, engineers, and architects, to discuss the future of human habitation with a dominant focus on human health in a post-pandemic world. Liz is also the lead-PI for the NSF-supported research study abroad program to Tanzania (through 2026).Liz is a WELL and LEED Accredited Professional and a Certified Passive House Consultant. With over 10 years of experience as a practicing architect, she has worked on a variety of project scales from single-family passive houses to LEED-certified commercial office buildings and campuses. She received a PhD in Design from North Carolina State University, Master of Science in Building Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as bachelor's degrees in architecture and fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design. Liz was the recipient of the 2021 AIAS/ACSA New Faculty Teaching Award, which “honors architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service,” the announcement reads. Liz is also an active member of numerous professional and academic organizations, including the American Institute of Architects (AIA), AIA Charlotte Committee on the Environment (COTE), National Passive House Alliance (PHAUS), the Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE).

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 112 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Dan Bayer discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Elle (2016). After a full decade without making a film, Verhoeven returned to the big screen doing what he does best; pushing buttons. With Elle, he made one of his most talked about, controversial films of his entire career about a successful businesswoman who get caught up in a dangerous, sexual game of cat and mouse with the man whom she believes raped her. Blurring the lines between a female's liberation, sexual desire, and abuse, Elle explores the complex emotions attached to those who have been abused. Ryan, Jay, and Dan break down their thoughts on this complex masterpiece, the performance from Isabelle Huppert, the sexual politics presented in the film, how controversial the film was at the time, if this would've been embraced more by the Academy if it was released today, how the film foreshadows the film will cover next week on the show, and the differences between video games now and the ones made from our childhood in terms of the graphics. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h32m. The guys will be back next week to conclude their series on the films of Paul Verhoeven with a review of his film, Benedetta. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

In this episode, we dive into Gregg Araki's Totally Fucked Up (1993), the raw, DIY cornerstone of his Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy. Blurring the lines between documentary-style confessional and narrative chaos, the film follows a group of queer teens navigating love, alienation, and survival in early '90s Los Angeles. We unpack its fragmented structure, its unfiltered portrayal of youth on the margins, and the way Araki captures both the aimlessness and urgency of adolescence. From grainy camcorder intimacy to punk-fueled rebellion, we explore how Totally Fucked Up remains a defiant, vulnerable time capsule of Gen X disillusionmentIntro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

UK & Ireland Director of Intelligence Enterprise at GlobalLogic, Tim Hatton, explores how principles of control theory, exemplified by SpaceX's Starship, apply to the design of effective enterprise agentic AI systems. Reaching for the stars has always been the pinnacle of human ingenuity. The relentless desire to push beyond known boundaries is what drives innovation and advancement all around the globe. The recent example of SpaceX's latest Starship spacecraft soaring into the skies and returning with precision isn't just a milestone in aerospace engineering - it's a vivid illustration of what's possible when our boundless creativity fuels cutting-edge technologies. SpaceX's success demonstrates that autonomous software can effectively control a sophisticated system and steer it toward defined goals. This seamless blend of autonomy, awareness, intelligent adaptability, and results-driven decision-making offers a compelling analogy for enterprises. It's a beacon for a future where agentic AI systems revolutionise workflows, drive innovation, and transform industries. Control theory: A proven framework Control theory underpins self-regulating systems that balance performance and adaptability. It dates from the 19th century when Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell first described the operation of centrifugal 'governors'. Its core principles - feedback loops, stability, controllability, and predictability - brought humanity into the industrial age. Starting with stabilising windmill velocity, up to today's spaceflights, nuclear stations and nation-spanning electricity grids. We see control theory in action when landing a rocket, for example. The manoeuvre relies on sensors to measure actual parameters, controllers to adjust based on feedback, and the system to execute corrections. Comparing real-time data to desired outcomes minimises errors, ensuring precision and safety. It's a framework that extends to enterprise workflows. Employees function as systems, supervisors as controllers, and tasks as objectives. A seasoned worker might self-correct without managerial input, paralleling autonomous systems' ability to adapt dynamically. Challenges in agentic AI Agentic AI systems combine traditional control frameworks' precision with advanced AI models' generative power. However, while rockets rely on the time-tested principles of control theory, AI-driven systems are powered by large language models (LLMs). This introduces new layers of complexity that make designing resilient AI agents that deliver precision, adaptability, and trustworthiness uniquely challenging. Computational irreducibility: LLMs like GPT-4 defy simplified modelling. They are so complex and their internal workings so intricate that we cannot predict their exact outputs without actually running them. Predicting outputs requires executing each computational step, complicating reliability and optimisation. A single prompt tweak can disrupt workflows, making iterative testing essential, yet time-consuming. Nonlinearity and high dimensionality: Operating in high-dimensional vector spaces, with millions of input elements, LLMs process data in nonlinear ways. This means outputs are sensitive to minor changes. Testing and optimising the performance of single components of complex workflows, like text-to-SQL queries, under these parameters, becomes a monumental task. Blurring code and data: Traditional systems separate code and data. In contrast, LLMs embed instructions within prompts, mixing the two. This variability introduces a host of testing, reliability, and security issues. This blurring of ever-growing data sets with the prompts introduces variability that is difficult to model and predict, which also compounds the dimensionality problem described above. Stochastic behaviour: LLMs may produce different outputs for the same input due to factors like sampling methods during generation. This means they introduce randomness - an asset for creati...

Operating at the frontiers of electronic music, Spekki Webu stands apart as a true architect of his own sonic universe. The visionary behind the Mirror Zone label and a highly prolific producer, his work - including an excellent debut album last year - is a testament to a relentless pursuit of the new, sculpting a sound that is both boundary pushing and universally mind-altering. Offering some insight into the deeply personal and experimental nature of this deep trip, the Dutch maestro explains: “This mix is mainly music by myself, upcoming music on the label and some unreleased tunes by friends. I have been exploring lots of different tempo's the last few months and also been reprocessing a lot of field recordings which have been layered a lot in this mix. You can almost say that this is a hybrid mix where I am live layering field recordings and processing them in real time. But the main focus is of course the DJ part. Slowly unfolding and blending from chapter to chapter, I don't engage my mixes as mixes anymore, more like this feeling of reading a few pages from my personal book. Minimalistic movements drowned in wider atmospheric arrangements within this story. A lot of this music in this mix has been made in the last months and dives into introspective moments. Blurring textures which have felt like clouded moments in my consciousness, like living in some sort of dream and moving on to the next stage. Preparing for changes. Waiting for new movements.” Follow: https://soundcloud.com/spekkiwebu https://www.instagram.com/spekkiwebu.mirrorzone https://spekkiwebu.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/mirrorzone https://mirrorzone.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/mirrorzone.records/

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses Parshas Pinchas, focusing on the story of Pinchas's zealous act against Zimri and Cosbi, who publicly defied God's will by engaging in illicit relations, as described in Numbers 25. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the danger of blurring moral lines, as Zimri attempted by bringing a Moabite woman into the Jewish community, comparing it to Rebecca's relief upon learning her conflicting womb movements were due to twins with distinct destinies, not a single confused child. He emphasizes that clarity in commitment to Torah and mitzvahs is crucial, drawing parallels to Haman's and Amalek's attempts to assimilate and confuse the Jewish people, urging listeners to avoid compromise in spiritual matters and to define their stance firmly on the side of holiness and light.Rabbi Wolbe encourages small, intentional steps toward observance without compromising core commitments, using examples like health goals to illustrate the importance of mental resolve even if actions lag. He stresses the need for wisdom to distinguish between holy and unholy, as recited in Havdalah and Talmudic prayers, to avoid confusion. A story of a newly observant Jew publicly affirming their identity as a religious Jew underscores how verbalizing commitment clarifies one's path. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging listeners to manifest their spiritual goals through clear identification with Torah values, fostering a deeper connection to God and a purposeful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.38) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Pinchas is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on July 16, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on July 18, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

Traditional safe havens are misbehaving as the once-distinct boundaries between emerging and developed markets begins to blur. Peter Kent, co-head of Emerging Market Fixed Income at Ninety One, joins Bloomberg Intelligence chief EM fixed-income strategist Damian Sassower to break down the risks and opportunities facing asset allocators across the globe. Kent and Sassower touch on global trade, supply shocks, capital flows, fiscal balances, investor positioning and currency volatility as the perceived safety of developed market debt is called into question.
Host Gregg Garrett and guest Todd Loiselle, CIO of National Food Group, sit down to discuss blurring the bridge between technology and market value. Todd shares his “Top 3”: Mary McLive, his first grade teacher who taught him to be empathetic and how to activate his super power; Tony Williams, his former colleague at PwC, who taught him how to be a man with a life and career; former CIO of Mastronardi and Colony Hardware, Michael Pellegrino, who taught him that fear mongering was not necessary to be a CIO and that he needed to network; and Executive Strategic Coach Rick Collison, who taught him to shift his perspective. And you have to hear what Todd says about vision boarding. .

Author D. Harlan Wilson joins Mike to discuss his latest book, Strangelove Country, a collection of critical fictions examining four of Stanley Kubrick's most influential science fiction films: Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Blurring the lines between criticism, fiction, and satire, Wilson explores how Kubrick's work continues to shape cultural narratives about technology, violence, human identity, and control.The conversation covers Wilson's experimental approach to writing, the enduring legacy of Kubrick's cinema, and how speculative fiction and critical theory intersect. Together, they examine how Kubrick's visions of the future—and their contradictions—remain as unsettling and relevant as ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Some podcasts talk about love. Some talk about horror. THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST talks about both. This week, we take a look at LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS (1993), a darkly introspective film that explores sex, loneliness, and the search for meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Thomas Gibson leads the cast as David, a former TV actor turned waiter, navigating life alongside his best friend Candy (Ruth Marshall), who longs for something more. As their paths intertwine with those around them—including a mysterious and dangerous presence in the city—the film unfolds with an eerie sense of dread. Blurring the line between drama and thriller, this Canadian production doesn't just ask hard questions; it forces you to sit with the answers. We break it all down on THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST, where we tackle the unsettling, the unspoken, and the unforgettable.

Send us a textIn today's chinwag, we'll explore a candidate for the first novel in English by the first professional female writer in English: Oroonoko by Aphra Behn (1688). It's the story of an African prince and his beloved, who are betrayed into slavery and do not live happily ever after. The novel seems a modest heroic romance, but I think Ms. Behn has a more complex project up her sleeve . . . .Full text of Oroonoko: https://pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca/oroonoko/chapter/the-history-of-the-royal-slave/Additional music:"James Bond Theme Song" from The Internet Archivehttps://archive.org/details/tvtunes_6995"Jeopardy Theme Think Music" from The Internet Archivehttps://archive.org/details/tvtunes_29826Support the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, or wherever you listen.

We're re-airing one of our most surprising and most popular episodes for you this week -- a deep dive into Aaron Burr from January 2023. This episode is guest-hosted by IEX's Jayme Abrahamsen and features Andy Kaplan (former Greenlight Capital partner, now CEO of Freedom's Edge Cider). In a previous episode, they broke down the mythology of Hamilton. This time, they turn the spotlight on his adversary, Aaron Burr. Vice President. Revolutionary War hero. Romance novel star. Duelist. Exile. They explore how Burr's legacy was rewritten by enemies like Hamilton and Jefferson, how he became a political cautionary tale, and what it says about who we choose to put on our currency and why.

My friend and fellow professional organizer Missi McKown sent me a voice message with an idea on how to start this podcast. " So this is a cautionary tale. Please do the opposite of everything we do unless you'd like to burnout and stress yourself out, and also start dropping balls left and right, including family, friends, and relationships that are important to you. Okay, let's dive into it!" We are talking about some things we do in our business--and the why behind it--but also how we're working on better ways to make sure we're servicing our organizing clients but also not losing ourselves in the process.

As we begin Season V, we explore one of the most unnerving figures in modern folklore: the Men in Black.Join us as we trace the shadowy origins of these silent enforcers, following their evolution from early UFO encounters to government conspiracies and their place in pop culture. We'll examine the strange patterns that link witness testimonies, the unsettling uniformity of their behaviour, and the psychological weight they carry as symbols of censorship, paranoia, and control. Blurring the line between reality and fabrication, this urban legend continues to haunt the spaces where secrets are meant to stay buried.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

My guest today, Scott Payne, spent more than two decades working with some of the most notorious biker gangs, illegal drug operations, and neo-Nazis. And, it would be hard to even imagine some of the things he's seen and experienced in his decades-long career as an FBI Special Agent. Today, Scott and I talk about what it takes to be a successful undercover agent, the lines that get blurred when working with some of the most dangerous criminals in the world, how to keep your cool under pressure (including the time a notorious biker gang stripped him in a basement to search him for the wire he was wearing at the time), and how a man transitions back into his ordinary life after one of the most dangerous jobs he could do.

Born from a simple Photoshop contest in 2009, the Slender Man quickly slipped from pixels to paranoia – an Internet myth that would, terrifyingly, become murderously real.IN THIS EPISODE: We look at the intriguing start to the Slenderman legend, and how it evolved into not juste one real-life murder, but suicides as well. We debate whether it's possible for an imaginary figure like Slenderman tobecome a reality. And we look at a possible connection between Slenderman and a real-life mystery in the 1830s.
