In banking, every second matters. Fraud happens in milliseconds. Customers demand instant answers. And AI can only deliver value if it's powered by live, real-time data. Yet many banks are still relying on batch reports and outdated systems, making decisions based on yesterday's insights. The shift can't wait. Forrester predicts that by 2025, half of all businesses will use AI-powered self-service as their primary customer touchpoint. That future won't be possible without real-time data at the core. Banks that leverage streaming data will transform customer experiences, manage risks more efficiently, and unlock the full potential of AI. Those who don't risk being left behind. Today, I'm joined by Guillaume Aymé, CEO of Lenses.io and a leading voice on data innovation. Together, we'll explore why real-time data is becoming the lifeblood of modern banking, the hurdles institutions must overcome, and how to build the foundation for AI-driven success. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Lenses Lenses 6.0 is a Developer Experience designed to empower organizations to modernize applications and systems with real-time data autonomy. This is particularly crucial as AI adoption accelerates, and enterprises operate hundreds of Kafka clusters across multi-cloud environments. As the industry's first multi-Kafka developer experience, Lenses 6.0 allows teams to access, govern and process streaming data across any combination of Apache Kafka-based streaming platforms, from a single interface. https://lenses.io/

Pastor Zach W. Lambert, founder of Restore Austin and co-founder of the Post-Evangelical Collective, joins the Faithful Politics Podcast to talk about his new book, Better Ways to Read the Bible. Drawing from his own journey out of Southern Baptist fundamentalism, Lambert explores how scripture was weaponized in his youth and how he rediscovered a Jesus who brought hope, not fear.We unpack his framework of “lenses” for reading scripture—why harmful approaches like moralism and literalism distort God's heart, and how healthier lenses like fruitfulness, context, and Christ-centeredness can transform the way we engage the Bible. Lambert shares pastoral stories of people hurt by misused verses, insights from his time at Dallas Theological Seminary and Duke Divinity, and his church's inclusive ministry in Austin.The conversation doesn't shy away from tough issues: hell, patriarchy, LGBTQ inclusion, and the grief of leaving behind certainty. Lambert reminds us that the answer to bad Bible reading isn't no Bible reading—it's better Bible reading. If you've wrestled with faith, struggled with scripture, or wondered if there's a more life-giving way forward, this episode will encourage, challenge, and equip you.Buy the book Better Ways to Read the Bible: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781587436680Guest BioZach W.

The new iPhone models are here, a yearly event that we look forward to mostly to see what Apple has done with the iPhone cameras. Does a 48 megapixel telephoto camera capable of 8x zoom appeal to you enough to buy a new iPhone Pro? Is the svelte shape of the new iPhone Air compelling enough to pay more for, despite it having just one camera and less battery life? Or did you see the Cosmic Orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro and made your decision immediately based on that? We look at what Apple announced and what we're looking forward to.

Today on the 5: In the past I've talked about my absolutely amazing Oakley Juliet X-Metal sunglesses, which are now well over 20 years old. While the frame itself is in remarkably great shape, the lenses are finally losing their original coatings. As Oakey no longer supplies spare parts or servicing for them, I tried out Revant lenses. After an ordering error on my part, Revant delivered some of the best customer service I'd had in quite a while. I felt like I needed to spotlight that since most of the time all you hear are complaints about companies.

Are you following the proper rules of photography, or are you at risk of being busted by the photography police? Maybe you're shooting photos out of focus, or introducing light leaks, or using direct flash. All of these can be considered “bad” photography, but they're also currently popular styles of shooting. Also in this episode, Jeff talks about his experience with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and its Pro Res Zoom feature that uses generative AI to clean up images shot at up to 100x zoom.

This is a midweek mini episode to go along with the newsletter this week. I'm speaking with a few friends about upcoming projects. Hope you enjoy it! Guests - Tom Oldham & @hann_onfilmMore about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Text us your questions!Ready to transform your relationship with the Bible? Zach Lambert, pastor of Restore Church in Austin and author of Better Ways to Read the Bible, offers a healing pathway for those wounded by scripture in this candid conversation.Growing up in a Southern Baptist megachurch during the "fundamentalist takeover," Lambert experienced firsthand how the Bible can be weaponized. Disagreeing with the pastor's interpretation is often treated as disagreeing with God. This authoritarian approach created spiritual trauma that eventually led Zach to seek healthier ways of engaging with scripture.Zach challenges the notion that there's one "plain reading" of the Bible, noting that everyone interprets scripture through various lenses. Some lenses—like literalism, apocalypse, moralism, and hierarchy—often produce harm, while others—focused on Jesus, context, flourishing, and fruitfulness—lead to healing. The key differentiator is the fruit they produce. "We should be asking with any given biblical interpretation: is it producing more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness in me and in the world around me?"The conversation tackles difficult topics like biblical violence, the subjugation of women, and LGBTQ+ inclusion, offering fresh perspectives without abandoning the text. Zach suggests we view scripture as John the Baptist pointing to Jesus rather than an end in itself: "Jesus didn't say 'here is the truth, believe it.' He said 'I am the truth, follow me.'" This shift from a text-centered to a person-centered faith can transform our approach to scripture.Whether you're deconstructing harmful theology, seeking to reintegrate the Bible into your spiritual life, or simply curious about healthier interpretive frameworks, this episode provides thoughtful guidance for transforming scripture from a weapon of harm into a tool of healing.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

In this greatest hits episode, we're revisiting one of the most powerful communication tools I teach—one that's both simple and transformative. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling misunderstood, reactive, or like your needs weren't truly seen, this episode is for you. It's not just about what you say. It's about the lens you're using to listen. I'm breaking down why the perspective you bring into a conversation—the emotional framing you carry—can change everything. You'll learn how noticing your “lens” helps you shift your energy, change the direction of the dialogue, and respond in ways that bring more clarity, calm, and connection. From the sneaky effects of internalized patriarchy to how we're conditioned to live “leftovers lives,” this episode is packed with both mindset shifts and practical tools you can apply right away. Grab a journal, take a walk, or just listen with curiosity—and let's explore how small shifts in perspective create big changes in communication. ✨ Episode at a Glance Why communication feels so hard (even though we do it every day) What it means to “notice your lens”—and why it matters The connection between your emotions and how you hear your partner A coaching challenge to shift your perspective and improve conversations How internalized patriarchy shapes how we listen, respond, and prioritize our needs An invitation to live a 5-star life instead of a “leftovers life”  

Welcome to a slightly different format this week as my guests are Joel Meyerowitz, Maggie Barrett, Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter. They are the creative team behind Two Strangers Trying not to Kill Each Other, a documentary following the life of Maggie and Joel, two artists reckoning with aging, their relationship with one another and their work. A chance encounter with Jacob and Manon in the Café in Wetzlar resulted in an invitation to London to record with all four of them to talk about making the film. As you'll hear they have formed a strong creative partnership and although the film wrapped some time ago they continue to work on projects together.

It's summer, and most camera manufacturers are holding back their new releases until fall, when the trade show season kicks off again.

Send us a textThese lenses are no doubt your workhorses in any sort of photography. However, it can be a little complex deciding which one to invest in and have as part of your trusty camera kit.In this episode, I go into detail on what makes each lens great, and why you might want to choose one over the other depending on your style and needs.TakeawaysThe 24-70mm lens is a favorite among professionals for its sharpness and low-light capabilities.F2.8 aperture is excellent for portrait and low-light photography.The 24-105mm lens offers more versatility with its extended range.Weight and size are significant factors for travel photographers (feather in the cap for 24-105mm).The 24-70mm lens has better resale value due to its popularity.Consider your primary photography style when choosing a lens--do you need f/2.8?The 24-105mm is more affordable and lighter, making it a great option for many.Image stabilization can influence the choice between the two lenses.Ultimately, the best lens is the one that fits your needs and is with you when you need it. If you don't need f/2.8 for your landscape/walking-around lens, save the money, size, and weight and go for the 24-105mm.Court's Websites Check out Court's photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.com Sign up for Court's photo, conservation and travel blog at www.courtwhelan.com Follow Court on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tips View Court's personal and recommended camera gear Sponsors and Promo Codes:LensRentals.com - WildPhotographer15 for 15% offShimodaDesigns.com - Whelan10 for 10% offArthelper.Ai - WILD for a 6 month free trial of Pro Version AG1 - Daily (and Travel) Nutrition (use link for free travel packs and other goodies)

Mynxxi White is a photographer and filmmaker from New York City. Specialising in celebrity portrait and commercial work she started out as a makeup artist and then creative director but was frustrated by some of her collaborators to the point that nearly 10 years ago she picked up the camera herself and hasn't looked back. We missed each other in Germany earlier this year so I'm thrilled that we got to sit down and talk about our shared love of image making, the work she's looking to take on next and the lens she needed to shut all the boys up when she walked into a room.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

In this episode of Awakened Woman 20:20, we're unpacking a hard truth in the Black diaspora conversation — the tension between African/Caribbean immigrants and African Americans. Why do some come to the U.S. for opportunity while looking down on the very people who built the foundation they benefit from? We explore the pride, the posturing, and the passport reality. From cultural claims to historical debts, we're calling out the hypocrisy and breaking down what's really behind the divide. This isn't about hate — it's about truth, respect, and healing the breach.Awakened Woman 20:20 is a podcast to encourage women to walk in wholeness in God Yahuah, through Biblical principles. To return to the original intent in which God created and designed us. To share our experiences and learn from one another and be our “sisters keeper”. I desire to create a community of women who desire to walk in their feminine nature as Women of God. Episodes will be about topics relating to everyday situations and my take on these issues based on my values and beliefs. ****You are free to disagree with me, as I understand the art of disagreement, this doesn't mean you are my enemy or that I am your enemy. We simply just disagree and we can agree to disagree. I don't have all the answers, so I will lean on you as my sisters for correction in the comments if what I am saying doesn't align with scripture or you have a different view on it. I welcome respectful discussion

Jack Lodge is a landscape and wildlife photographer based in the south of England. This conversation is well timed as he's gradually moving from purely landscape to wildlife with a little bit of astral in there for good measure, and if I had to guess I wouldn't be surprised if film showed up at some point in the not too distant future. He was lovely company, I hope you enjoy this chat with Jack.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

This week on the show I spoke with Sam aka 2bitboy, the creator of the 2bittoy, a modification kit for the gameboy camera. You can 3D print this add on kit, take the innards of your Gameboy Camera out, put them in this shell and then use the camera with a variety of lenses. This was exactly the sort of madness I wanted to delve into and Sam was kind enough to give up some of his weekend to talk to me about it. This is nerdy in the best ways possible. I hope you enjoy it.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

Macro Photography Don't know what to photograph? No vacation plans? With macro photography, you can get great results literally in your back yard. What was once a style of photography that required specialized gear is now something you can do well with just your phone — though of course there's plenty of gear available if you want to go deeper into it.

Episode Notes This week, we dive deep into the world of anamorphic lenses—why they look so cinematic, whether they're worth the hype, and how they've completely changed how we shoot our own projects. From film history to hands-on test shoots (with a side of burritos), we unpack what makes these lenses so alluring and complicated. After years of window shopping, we finally picked up our first set of anamorphic lenses—and used them to shoot a full music video. In this episode, we explore the difference between anamorphic and spherical, the history of Super 35, the struggle with vertical video, and how lens choices affect everything from contrast to storytelling. Plus, a bonus tale about AI girlfriends and milk-based VFX. 00:00 - Intro 08:13 - The Argument for Sirui 17:45 - Rehash from Ep #30 20:19 - The History of Anamorphic 33:11 - Our Experience so far 45:39 - Our Microcenter Story Find out more at https://until-you-make-it.pinecast.co

Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist, author, and speaker known for his work on the psychology of exponential growth and transformation. He has mastered a highly unique form of strategic psychology and is known for his ability to rapidly scale companies to seemingly impossible levels. The author of several books and cofounder of his rigorous scaling company, Scaling.com, Benjamin helps companies scale 10x or more within three years. His innovative psychological and strategic frameworks are unlike anything else in business right now and are seeking to disrupt both the fields of psychology and business. Benjamin and his wife Lauren have seven children and live in Orlando. Links The Science of Scaling: Grow Your Business Bigger and Faster Than You Think Possible Scaling.com/Audiobook Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Benjamin introduces the idea that setting ambitious goals can lead to more effective pathways for growth. He explains that when organizations aim for significantly higher targets—such as a tenfold increase in growth—they are compelled to streamline their efforts and eliminate unnecessary complexities. This principle is particularly relevant for church leaders who may feel constrained by traditional metrics of success. Benjamin emphasizes the importance of aligning daily actions with a higher purpose. He discusses the concept of "raising the floor," which refers to the necessity of letting go of lower standards and practices that no longer serve the organization's goals. By doing so, leaders can create a more focused and effective environment for achieving their objectives. The conversation also delves into the psychological aspects of goal-setting, highlighting how the future should shape present actions rather than being dictated by past performance. He shares a compelling story about an audacious missionary baptism goal and how adjusting adjusting and filtering ultimately achieved the goal—illustrating the power of high aspirations and the need for leaders to be willing to say no to less-impactful activities. Benjamin explores the challenges church leaders face in maintaining focus amidst competing priorities and discusses the tendency to add more initiatives rather than simplifying and prioritizing efforts. He encourages leaders to define clear, measurable goals that can guide their actions and decision-making processes, along with a call to embrace ambitious goals. By focusing on fewer, higher goals and raising their standards, leaders can unlock the potential within their wards and organizations, ultimately leading to greater success in their missions. 00:04:00 - Applying Scaling Principles to the Church 00:05:20 - The Goal Shapes the Path and System 00:05:50 - The Power of 10x Goals and Short Timelines 00:08:40 - Missionary Work as an Example of Scaling 00:10:50 - The Past and Future as Lenses for the Present 00:14:10 - Operating From the Goal, Not Toward It 00:14:40 - Raising the Floor and Saying No 00:15:30 - Blake's Missionary Experience and Filtering 00:19:40 - Overcoming the Influence of the Past in Organizations 00:21:50 - Simplicity vs. Complexity 00:23:10 - The Challenge of Too Many Goals in Church Councils 00:24:50 - Focusing on Key Priorities in Leadership 00:28:00 - Defining and Owning Roles in Church Leadership 00:28:50 - Understanding and Raising the Floor 00:31:30 - The Floor as a Standard of Accountability 00:33:30 - Avoiding Guilt from Too Many To-Dos 00:36:10 - Setting Clear, Numeric Goals 00:40:20 - The Future Shapes the Present 00:42:50 - Repentance and Reorienting Towards the Future 00:44:50 - Distancing from Past Self and Growth Mindset 00:48:50 - Measuring Impact and Qualitative vs. Quantitative Goals 00:53:00 - Accountability in Systems and Leadership

Marcus Haslam is a photographer from the south of England who has retraced his roots in the north to make pictures of his hometown. Blackpool has changed a lot over the years and you'll hear about his motivation to make the project, what he found and what he's doing with the images now that he has them. It was wonderful to catch up with a friend and former colleague.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

With Redolencia behind them and a new friend on board, the crew of the Little Snail powers forward towards Calstega Bay. Unfortunately, as a familiar crack sounds in the distance, they find that the home of the Manakin is less welcoming than they'd hoped! Now, the ad hoc adventurers must find their way past the blockades and between the sniper's bullets if they hope to make it into the seaside town. This week on Perpetua: Journey to the Bay Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] Town Maps [TNMP] Calstega Bay [CBMP] While smaller towns and villages are set up in a single, scrolling screen, larger cities like Calstega Bay are broken up into different “district” zones. Each one has a bunch of stuff in it, so for the sake of speed (this is an IN PROGRESS FAQ after all!) I'm going to just list the basics and I'll come back later if more detail is needed. Anyway, without further to do: Northcrook  A.K.A. “Crookville,” this is the primary way of entering during the opening scenario. There's a hospital here (with a doctor who has some very funny dialog). You can grind here for a little bit against both Valtese Guards and “Cheetahs.” (They're not Cheetahs, they're Manakin Gang Members that have Cheetah Spots on them. I don't know that the developers know what gangs are like in real life.). The Free Quarter This is the big central square of town that connects most of the other districts to one another. So you know what that means: You'll be running through it CONSTANTLY, especially after you get the disguise and the pass that let you move around freely. You can also go into the palace to learn some lore about the Manakin and Grand Sonnerie and the noble who used to rule here. And the clocktower at the top of the palace is the first of three places you can choose to have the big boss fight at at the end of the main quest chapter here! Westgate Markets This is where the big cooking competition happens, technically, but let me just focus on what you care about most here. The GEAR! Here's what's available: Weapons Inventor's Screwdriver - 600 asta DEX+DEX+1 - [HR+4] physical - 1 handed / melee Damage dealt by this weapon ignores Resistances.   Inventor's Hammer - 800 Asta MIG+MIG - [HR+10] bolt damage - 2 handed / melee Do an extra 5 damage to Constructs.   Gatling Crossbow - 1350 asta, martial DEX+INS - [HR+12] physical damage - 2 handed  Attacks with this weapon always have multi (2)   Encyclopedia - 600 asta INS+INS - [HR+6] physical - two handed / melee  You are immune to dazed.   Armor Inventor's Garb - 800 asta DEX die +1 Def / INS die +1 Mdef/ -1 Init You gain +1 IP maximum.   Bandit Jacket - 900 asta DEX die +1 Def / INS die +1 Mdef /-1 Initiative You gain +1 bonus to Accuracy Checks with Daggers.   Cheetah Jacket  - 650 asta, martial 10 Def / INS die +1 MDef/ +2 Initiative   Automaton Suit  - 1250 asta, martial 11 Def / INS die +1 MDef / -3 Init You have Immunity to Earth and Poison Damage, but vulnerability to bolt damage.   Inventor's Shield - 1600 asta  +2 Def You have immunity to bolt damage.   Accessories Springloaded Boots - 1200 asta Spend 3IP to launch yourself into the air, allowing you to attack a single flying enemy with a melee attack, or giving you a +2 on an appropriate skill check.   Inventor's Gloves - 500 asta You are immune to shaken   Sharpshooter's Lenses - 1000 asta You gain a +1 bonus to your Accuracy Checks.   Cornergate This is one of the main ways in/out of the town after you complete the main quest stuff here. There are a handful of random encounters here, but nowhere near as many as in Crookville. It's sort of just a weird corner of the city with nothing going on besides the gate. I don't know why it got its own zone. Maybe I'm missing something. Highrail This is where the train to the north comes. You'll walk past this place a BUNCH and go “why can't I just get on a train and get out of here.” BE PATIENT! It's also a great place to grind, especially against the modified Loader Bots. The second of three places you could have the boss fight at, depending on your dialog options. Night Docks I haven't been able to get into this place yet except for the cutscene where you go to the nearby hotel. It gets closed off after that. But before you go, definitely make sure to buy up as much IP as you can. Atelier Road This is what I'd call the “fancy shop” part of town. Later on in the game you can get mage equipment here plus some pretty good accessories, but for now it seems to be locked off by the Valtean Empire and the locals having staredowns. Roseshore  Despite all the signage warning about a sea monster, this is the fancy beach of the town. It's also the third possible boss fight location—I wonder if the monster gets involved with the fight if you have it there instead of the other places?

It's the night before you leave for vacation and you need to choose which camera gear goes and stays. Do you reach for the 300mm telephoto, knowing it can get great photos but is large and bulky? Or do you take the smallest camera you can carry to ensure you have it with you at all times? And what else needs to come along?

"It was rare, I was there, I remember it." As part of our summer vacation series, we're re-airing one of our most requested episodes! This was the song we'd wanted to analyze since day one: "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)." This isn't just any song analysis—it's a literary deep dive worthy of Taylor's most devastating masterpiece. We're each bringing you a different academic lens to understand what makes this 10-minute epic the storytelling tour de force that has Swifties screaming every word. From narrative structure to nature imagery to the hypnotic power of repetition, discover why this song isn't just a breakup anthem—it's a work of art that rivals the greatest literary achievements.

Protests in Southern California and around the country over raids targeting undocumented immigrants played out differently on social media depending on the person or the platform. They're peaceful - look at the carnival atmosphere. They're violent - Los Angeles is in flames. These competing narratives underline the hyper-siloed nature of online discourse and the power of misinformation. Marketplace's Nova Safo spoke with Renee DiResta, Research Professor at Georgetown University about how protest discourse has been playing out online.

HT2285 - Fast Lenses in the Age of DeNoise and LensBlur I use shallow depth of field less frequently than a lot of photographers, probably because I don't shoot many portraits. Nonetheless, I've always carried a fast prime for those occasions when I might need it. Truth be told, I can't remember the last time I used it. According the EXIF data in Lightroom, it was 6 years ago for a few shots and before that was in 2013. Do I still need a fast prime?
