Catherine, David and Matt discuss the start of the clay court season, headlined by victories for Jessica Pegula and Jenson Brooksby. Part one - WTA Results. Pegula shows her toughness and her variety to win the first clay court title of her career in Charleston over Sofia Kenin.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Future Skills Academy Podcast with a Column by Arne van oosterom: I'm really excited to share something that's been on my mind for a while. We've all heard how technology—and more specifically AI—seems to be creeping into every corner of our lives. I mean, it's not just about writing blog posts or crunching numbers anymore. AI is creating art, music, film scripts, and sometimes it's even doing it better or faster than humans can. Which is both amazing and, let's be honest, a little unsettling. Now, of course, there's a lot of worry out there: “Are we losing our jobs to robots?” “Will we still need human writers, painters, directors, or composers?” And I totally get it. There's a sense that we're on the brink of something major, something that might leave a lot of us feeling redundant. But here's the twist: I actually think this shift is going to make real human creativity even more precious. Why? Because, at the end of the day, it's our lived experiences that make what we create truly meaningful. Look, if one day we were to find out that Van Gogh, for instance, was never a real person—that all the stories about his struggles and triumphs were just some elaborate AI fabrication—do you think his paintings would still hold the same weight? Probably not. The beauty of Van Gogh's art isn't just in the swirls of paint on the canvas. It's in knowing he was this real, troubled, passionate individual who poured his heart out in every brushstroke. That's the kind of depth that comes from having a mother you've loved and lost, or from breaking your leg and spending a miserable six weeks on crutches. It's from the late-night talks with friends that shift your perspective on the world, and from growing up in a certain neighborhood at a certain time. All of that seeps into your art—your words, your melodies, your films, your sculptures—and it resonates with people, because they can sense the realness. AI, for all its brilliance, doesn't have that. It doesn't have a mother. It doesn't know grief, or heartbreak, or the joy you feel when a friend drops by unexpectedly. AI might emulate these feelings, but that's all it is—an emulation. It can piece together a scene of heartbreak, add some atmospheric music, and calculate the perfect angle for a shot in a film, but it's doing that from data points and patterns, not from actual tears or heartbreak. This is why I believe the stories and creations that come from human hands—from the sweat and tears, the late nights and the real mistakes—are only going to become more valuable. When everything around us is generated by a machine, we'll crave the tangible evidence of a human life lived and poured into art. It will stand out. People will look for that spark that says, “Someone was actually here. They felt this. They went through something and this is what came out.” Yes, AI can replace many tasks that human beings do. It can do so quickly, often efficiently. And I don't doubt we'll see entire films or albums generated by code. Some might be popular or go viral. But at the same time, the more AI can do, the more we'll care about the things it can't. The more we'll want to see that authentic brushstroke or hear the raw crack in a singer's voice that came from a real heartbreak. So am I worried? Not really. I think it's going to force us to be clearer and more deliberate about what we bring to the table. We'll need to dig deeper into our experiences—our pains, our joys, our perspectives—and figure out how to translate them into something that matters to other people. That's the true essence of creativity, isn't it? You live, you learn, and you turn that into something that might resonate with someone else down the road. AI can do a lot, but it simply can't live. That's it from me for today. Thanks for tuning in to Creative Leaders Unplugged. Remember, the real magic isn't just in the final painting or the perfectly crafted track—it's in who we are and what we've gone through to make it. And that's something no robot will ever replicate.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in

Op lange termijn worden koersen bepaald door de winsten van de bedrijven waarin u belegt. Soms lopen koersen een beetje achter op de winstontwikkeling, vooral wanneer beleggers somber zijn, of als de rente hoog is. Op andere momenten lopen de koersen vooruit op de winsten. Zoals ten tijde van corona, toen beleggers dachten dat door alle monetair en fiscale steun de economie en de winsten wel zouden herstellen. Dat hadden ze goed gezien.

With Miami reaching its climax, Catherine, David and Matt catch up to discuss scheduling issues, more struggles for top players, and what might happen over the weekend. Part one - WTA Results.

The U.S Justice Department has charged 12 Chinese nationals with cyber-crimes, including mercenary hackers, employees of private hacking firms, and even law enforcement officers. Nur Zincir-Heywood brings us more on that story, and why it matters to people in Nova Scotia.

A video from an ultra-orthodox wedding last week went viral and stoked fresh rage targeting the ultra-orthodox population.In his column in the Jerusalem Post last Friday (see the Podcast Notes for the link), State of Tel Aviv regular, Ya'akov Katz, gave voice to the growing anger that many Israelis feel towards the ultra-orthodox population in Israel. This time, it was triggered by the wedding video, showing a prominent Rabbi leading what looked to be many hundreds, maybe more than a thousand, men in a frenzied song and dance. As they rocked to the beat, they referred to the nation of Israel as a country of heretics and celebrated their continued refusal to serve in the IDF. Well… hell hath no fury like a population that has given its all to the war effort for 17 months now, being scorned and mocked so openly. This same ultra-orthodox population also receives tens of millions of shekels in funding for their educational institutions annually from this nation of heretics. And they use this funding to provide an education that further demonizes the Israelis who serve and work, entrenching this insane cycle of entitlement, dependence, and exploitation. Ya'akov Katz is hopping mad, and rightly so. We discuss the policies, the gutter political reality, and how this very broken paradigm cannot continue. The IDF has a severe shortage of soldiers—in the draft and reserve armies. This Haredi holiday is over. Ya'akov and I get into it. And pull no punches. You can listen to the podcast on the State of Tel Aviv site or, if you prefer, click on YouTube and have the full AV experience. Please like and subscribe. Ring the bell on YouTube. We're working hard to build our YouTube presence and really appreciate your support.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Podcast Notes:1) Column by Ya'akov Katz published in The Jerusalem Post, Friday March 14: “The IDF needs soldiers but Israel is paying yeshivas to dodge the draft—opinion”This might have been possible to tolerate before October 7, but definitely not now, at a time when the IDF is missing over 10,000 soldiers to fulfill the missions it already has.2) Column By Ya'akov Katz published in the Jewish Chronicle, Tuesday March 11, 2025: “Dismissing Israel's Attorney-General is a distraction from government's failures.”Yaakov Katz is an Israeli-American author and journalist. Between 2016 and 2023, Yaakov was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post where he continues to write a popular weekly column.He is the author of three books: “Shadow Strike – Inside Israel's Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear Power”, “Weapon Wizards—How Israel Became a High-Tech Military Superpower” and “Israel vs. Iran: The Shadow War.”Prior to taking up the role of editor-in-chief, Yaakov served for two years as a senior policy adviser to Naftali Bennett during his tenure as Israel's Minister of Economy and Minister of Diaspora Affairs.In 2013, Yaakov was one of 12 international fellows to spend a year at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.Originally from Chicago, Yaakov has a law degree from Bar Ilan University. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife Chaya and their four children.Find Yaakov Katz on X @yaakovkatz This is a public episode.

(22:36) De column van Micha Wertheim (27:05) Sanne Frequin bespreekt drie historische boeken:  Vijanden van iedereen - Richard Blakemore (vert. Wilma Paalman, Willem van Paassen)  Dochters van Lucy – Jan Luiten van Zanden  Verliefd en veroordeeld – Maartje van de Kamp (37:54) Greet Hofmans wordt altijd neergezet als de Raspoetin van het Nederlandse koningshuis, binnengehaald door koningin Juliana. Maar wat deed ze eigenlijk aan het hof? Was ze een heks of heilige? Historicus Han van Bree schreef Het vertroebelde oog en is te gast.

Six years on from his previous appearance on The Tennis Podcast, Janko Tipsarevic is back, this time to talk to David all about his foray into coaching. Tipsarevic doesn't hold back as he explains why he enjoys coaching and why he thinks coaching standards in tennis are generally lower compared to in other sports. David was inspired to speak to Tipsarevic again after his new partnership with Denis Shapovalov has got off to a promising start, with Shapovalov winning the ATP 500 event in Dallas last month. Tipsarevic explains why he was drawn to working with Shapovalov, the goals that they have set together, and how he think Shapovalov needs to play to achieve his potential. He also gives his take on the Novak Djokovic - Andy Murray coaching relationship.

Every brand creates content, but only a few stand out. AI has made it easier for everyone to produce high-quality content, yet most brands get stuck in a cycle where they're creating good enough content but fail to stand out. What does it actually take to break through?In this episode, we interviewed Ross Crooks of Column Five to explain why the past decade's content playbook is dead.Ross shares why brands that aren't differentiated waste their time and resources, and why you should stop churning out content for content's sake and start creating with intent. We also explore:The biggest mistake brands make when trying to stand out (and how to fix it).How to inject real emotion in B2B content.The importance of using AI as a tool for leverage, not a crutch.How thoughtless scaling leads to generic, ineffective content.And much more.

In the latest episode of the Ancient Warfare Magazine podcast, Marc De Santis speaks with Murray Dahm about his new book, Roman Soldier vs Dacian Warrior: Dacian Wars AD 85–106. The wars between Rome and Dacia were some of the most intense and strategically important conflicts of the early 2nd century AD. Fought during the reign of Emperor Domitian and later under Trajan, these battles saw the disciplined Roman legions face off against the determined warriors of Dacia. The struggle ended with Rome's annexation of Dacia, a victory commemorated on Trajan's Column in Rome. Murray's new book, published by Osprey, examines the tactics, weaponry, and battlefield experiences of both Roman soldiers and their Dacian opponents. In this episode, he discusses the challenges faced by both sides, the effectiveness of Dacian weapons—such as the falx—and how Rome adapted its military approach to counter the threat. Listen to the episode to learn more about one of Rome's toughest adversaries and the warfare that shaped the empire's northern frontier.   Join us on Patron patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast
