President Trump’s second term hit the one-year mark this week and – surprise! – Oregonians and Southwest Washington residents have divergent takes on how things are going. On this week’s episode of the podcast, we hear about what OPB learned when our reporters fanned out to check in with people all over the region.
Donald Trump finally made it to Davos, three hours late.After a flashing-light emergency on Air Force One, Mr Trump used the World Economic Forum platform to unload on Europe, the UK and pretty much anyone else in range. Marking a year since his inauguration, the US president mocked green energy, accused Britain of crippling itself by refusing to drill the North Sea, and claimed Europe has “destroyed itself”. Back home, Sir Keir Starmer showed unexpected steel at PMQs, saying he will not yield to Mr Trump's pressure on Greenland.Camilla and Tim unpack Mr Trump's freewheeling Davos speech, from his fresh push to “acquire” Greenland (while confusing it with Iceland), to digs at Emmanuel Macron's sunglasses, Canada's “freebies”, and a promise to build a “golden dome” to protect North America. We ask what all of this tells us about the new world order.We want to hear from you!

Nick welcomes the legendary Liz Robertson to MusicalTalk for a wide-ranging and intimate conversation spanning a remarkable life in musical theatre. Marking the 70th anniversary of My Fair Lady, Liz reflects on her experiences with the show and explores why it continues to charm, challenge and resonate with audiences seven decades on. From working alongside the incomparable Rudolf Nureyev to sharing life with lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, Liz offers candid insights into artistry, discipline, love, and legacy.

Marking the 30th anniversary of Child Safety Helpline, this programme examines the current state of mental health among children and minors in Slovakia.

I could not be celebrating my fifteenth anniversary as a content creator and interviewer without welcoming back one of my all-time favorite guests and Reality TV alums, Paulie Calafiore, to Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar. Paulie first made his way to Reality TV when he was cast on CBS's Big Brother 18, where he won two HOHs and three Vetoes before being evicted on Day 66. He next made his MTV debut on the inaugural season of Ex on the Beach USA. After the show, Paulie ventured onto The Challenge: Final Reckoning, where he teamed up with Big Brother rival Natalie Negrotti. Despite being eliminated in the second and third episodes, the duo returned to the game near the season's end, where they ultimately placed third. He returned for War of the Worlds 1 and partnered with Natalie “Ninja” Duran and (for two episodes) Georgia Harrison. Paulie won seven daily challenges but did not make it to the finale. In War of the Worlds 2, he, along with Cara Maria Sorbello, Ninja, and series veterans Ashley Mitchell, Kam Williams, Leroy Garrett, and Zach Nichols, took command of Team USA and won four daily challenges before gassing out and finishing second. Four years after War of the Worlds 2, Paulie Calafiore returned to CBS to compete in The Challenge USA: Season 2. Despite reconnecting with allies such as Amanda Garcia, Cory Wharton, and Wes Bergmann, and rebuilding bridges with foes including Johnny Bananas, Josh Martinez, and Tori Deal, Paulie was sent home early after losing to the seven-time Challenge champion in the Fire and Ice arena game. Paulie returned to compete on the milestone season, The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras, representing Era Four. Sadly, he was eliminated by his longtime rival, Theo Campbell, in the show's classic Hall Brawl elimination. Since that appearance, he appeared with Cara Maria Sortbello on Hulu's Vanderpump Villa and Netflix's Pop The Balloon. When he is not on Reality TV, Paulie owns Paulie Calafiore Management and Productions. He leads with a vision to produce original, high-quality content that resonates deeply with audiences. His company focuses on bold storytelling, creative collaboration, and the embrace of emerging technologies to push the boundaries of entertainment across television, film, and digital platforms. He is also the captain of The Soccer Tournament team, the Kingdom FC, with his brother, fellow Big Brother legend Cody Calafiore. On his fourth go-around, Paulie Calafiore spoke about his brief time on The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras, The Challenge 41: Vets vs. New Threats' lackluster veteran representation, rebranding Ten Management into Calafiore Management, adding Calafiore Global and Calafiore Productions to his portfolio, and celebrating his tenth anniversary of being a part of the Reality TV community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In the Bible the designation of a New Year and its yearly celebration is given in Exodus 12, this month is to be the beginning of a year.

This episode continues the Mishnah Berurah's detailed analysis of the laws of writing on Shabbat, expanding beyond the Shulchan Aruch's brief treatment. It clarifies when writing two letters creates biblical liability, including cases where letters are written on separate surfaces that can be read together. The discussion covers writing in abnormal ways (left hand, foot, mouth), writing through another person, destructive writing, artistic designs, appliqué letters, puzzles and letter games, erasing in order to correct or rewrite, and scoring or marking lines for writing, cutting, or construction. The episode concludes with practical distinctions between biblical and rabbinic prohibitions, including leniencies such as temporary fingernail marks used only as reminders, and why these differences matter for real-life Shabbat observance.

In this final episode of the year, I explore what it really means to expect the unexpected, especially when grief and life don't follow a neat timeline. Marking the eight-year anniversary of losing Jim, I share honest reflections on how unpredictable waves can still hit, why “being strong” doesn't mean being unaffected, and how readiness matters more than control. With practical, real-world perspective, I offer a grounded way to move into the new year without pressure or toxic positivity, focusing instead on anchors that help you keep going when life gets messy.Join us at Shorts Brewery in Elk Rapids on January 7th for Beers for Tears Benefit Bingo -And if you can't make it, One meal can make a difference❣️On January 7th, Panda Express is donating 28% of online orders to Griefhab — helping us support people through grief, loss, and the days and challenges no one sees.Use code 9011147 in the fundraiser box at checkout!You can reach out anytime: sam@griefhab.orgRemember to Join the Griefhab Family:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday! https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.org
Rosh Chodesh (the new moon) is a time marker for honest self-examination and goal setting. Each new cycle is a chance to look back without self-condemnation, learn from what happened, and plan specific changes going forward. Life is framed as a transformational process with a clear target: becoming like Yeshua, measured in seven interconnected areas—spiritual, financial, physical health, relationships, mental health, emotional health, and community. Rabbi Berkson insists that you can't ignore the “other six” and claim to focus only on the spiritual, because problems in health, money, emotions, or relationships will distract from spiritual growth and spill over into each other. The practical advice is to rank these seven areas from 1 (worst) to 7 (best), then prioritize working on the area that is “bleeding” the most. That means studying why you struggle there, defining what “fixed” looks like, seeking out resources and experts, and being willing to work consistently, including retaking the “Level Up” class as a launchpad rather than a one-time fix.A key theme is mindset: become an expert in your problems, seek workarounds when limitations can't be removed, and adopt Yeshua's perspective of enduring current discomfort for future gain. Rabbi Berkson also emphasizes the importance of participating in community life—attending events, being friendly rather than passively waiting for others, and building genuine relationships. Ultimately, adult maturity in Messiah is defined as fully owning where you are and taking responsibility for where you go next across all seven areas of life.• Marking the movement of time• The journey of transformation • Time to “Level Up” in the seven areas of your life• Once is not enough • Become an expert on your struggles• I just want to focus on the spiritual• The seven areas of life are cross-effective • Ranking the seven areas for improvement • Thriving within / Find a workaround• There are proper levels for all emotions • Developing and growing into a community/family• The Level Up program will answer these questions Subscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020.

In this Advent episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen continue the Think Christianly series by asking a world-shaping question: Who is the child in the manger? Marking the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, they explore the Arian heresy, the church’s defense of Christ’s full divinity, and why the Nicene confession—“begotten, not made”—is essential to Christian worship, salvation, and culture. The discussion also shows how Arianism persists today wherever Jesus is reduced to a moral teacher rather than confessed as Lord. This episode calls Christians, especially during Advent, to stand with the historic church and boldly confess Christ as fully God and fully man—the Word made flesh, for the life of the world.

Celebrating Christmas with family and friends is a great time of the year, but do we know how all this started? This observance of the holiday? We're pretty sure Jesus wasn't born on December 25th. There are clues in scripture that put the date more in the springtime. In ancient times, the winter solstice occurred on December 25th. Sometime early in the 4th century, the church fathers set the date as the one we now celebrate. Even factoring in the diverse cultures around the world, Christmas is celebrated on every continent close to the same time for everyone. It's pretty much agreed that our present day celebrations have their origins in pre-Christian, Christian and secular festivals, and there's some debate about what is and isn't appropriate.However, for the believing Christian, the season is truly all about the birth of our Savior. No matter where you live or how you choose to celebrate, the scarlet thread of Christ's birth and sacrifice that runs through scripture is the tie that binds. Let's pray.Lord, it has been said that we can keep Christmas in our hearts. We thank you for sending your Son as the ultimate gift to mankind. In Jesus' name, amen.

On this episode of Superlative, host and founder of aBlogtoWatch, Ariel Adams, sits down with Benoît Mintiens, the founder of Ressence, for an in-depth conversation on what it truly means to rethink modern watchmaking. Marking 15 years of Ressence, Benoît reflects on the emotional and strategic weight of watch trade shows like Watches and Wonders, the enduring importance of in-person experiences in a digital world, and how human connection continues to drive enthusiasm for mechanical timepieces. The discussion moves into the realities of running an independent watch brand, from the unexpected “show business” demands placed on founders to the challenges of building a company without becoming its sole personality. Benoît explains Ressence's core philosophy of applying industrial design thinking to fine watchmaking, detailing how starting from the user experience rather than the movement has led to radical ideas such as oil-filled dials, crown-less cases, and the groundbreaking e-Crown system. Ariel and Benoît explore why most consumers buy watches for the brand rather than the products themselves, how independent brands operate at the edge of the industry's ecosystem, and why disruption often comes from designers and engineers willing to challenge century-old norms. Listen in on their conversation as the two look at the fragile industrial supply chain behind high-end watchmaking, the cost and complexity of true innovation, and why Ressence's future-focused approach continues to resonate with a global community of curious, forward-thinking collectors.Stay updated with Benoît and Ressence Watches:- https://ressencewatches.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/ressence_watches/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Description: In a landmark primetime address from the White House, President Donald J. Trump declared that the "American Comeback" has officially begun. Marking 11 months since his inauguration, the President detailed a series of transformative shifts: from turning "the worst border in the world" into the strongest, to brokering peace in Gaza and the Middle East. In this episode, we break down the most viral moments of the speech, including the announcement of the $1,776 "Warrior Dividend" for nearly 1.5 million service members and the $18 trillion in domestic investment secured this year. We also analyze Trump's bold claims that his administration has "stopped inflation" and is preparing the nation for the largest economic boom in world history.
Marking the film's 30th anniversary, this episode revisits Heat's opening heist through its final standoff. We unpack why Michael Mann's crime drama remains essential viewing and how Al Pacino and Robert De Niro anchor a sprawling ensemble, including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Amy Brenneman, and Ashley Judd, among others. We explore Michael Mann's meticulous production design, LA as a character, and the meticulous pacing that keeps Heat tactile and immersive—featuring insights into how the film's cast brings those pages to life. We also explore the coming together of two screen legends navigating duty, honor, and obsession in a film built around restraint as much as firepower. We break down the chemistry between Pacino and De Niro, and how it became the cornerstone of the film's marketing campaign. Joining in for this discussion is Dustin Rybka, one of the new co-hosts of our upcoming spinoff, and he helps dive into why Heat is still considered one of the best movies of its kind 30 years later.Where To Watch Heat
Ready for a candid debrief from the trenches? Jenn opens up about five mistakes that cost time, money, and peace of mind - and the practical tools she's now using to steer with more clarity and less chaos. If you've ever said yes to shiny opportunities, hopped from strategy to strategy after a few weeks, waited too long to hire, tried to outwork burnout, or moved the goalpost so fast you forgot to celebrate, this conversation will feel like a mirror and a map.We dig into a simple three-question filter to evaluate opportunities - aligned with where you're going, resentment check, ego vs mission - so you can protect focus and say no without guilt. From there, we unpack why strategies don't fail in three weeks; they fail when we abandon them in three weeks. You'll hear how sticking with a single platform and process creates compounding results, what inputs to measure when the outputs lag, and how to resist trial churn and comparison traps that drain momentum.The episode also tackles delegation and rest with hard-won honesty. Hiring before you're desperate safeguards decision quality and opens room for deeper client work, better content, and scalable systems. Rest becomes a non-negotiable because creativity, patience, and judgment all depend on it. Finally, we talk about celebration as a strategic practice. Marking small wins teaches your brain that progress counts, keeps motivation steady, and turns growth into a repeatable habit rather than a sprint to nowhere.If these themes resonate, share the episode with a friend who needs to hear they're not alone in the messy middle.

The Author Events Series presents Miriam Toews | A Truce That Is Not Peace In Conversation with Katy Waldman ''Why do you write?'' the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews-all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer-surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane-this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it. Miriam Toews is the author of the bestselling novels Women Talking, Fight Night, All My Puny Sorrows, Summer of My Amazing Luck, A Boy of Good Breeding, A Complicated Kindness, The Flying Troutmans, and Irma Voth, and two works of nonfiction, A Truce That is Not Peace and Swing Low: A Life. She is winner of the Governor General's Award for Fiction, the Libris Award for Fiction Book of the Year, the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, and the Writers' Trust Engel/Findley Award. She lives in Toronto. Katy Waldman is a staff writer at The New Yorker, for which she writes about books, culture, and more. Previously, she was a staff writer at Slate and the host of the ''Slate's Audio Book Club'' podcast. She won the National Book Critics Circle's Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing in 2019 and the American Society of Magazine Editors's award for journalists under thirty in 2018; her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York magazine, the Paris Review, and elsewhere.

China's Nuclear Threat to Japan — Jack Burnham — Burnham documents China's escalated nuclear threats against Japan, explicitly threatening nuclear weapons deployment if Tokyo militarily intervenes in Taiwan conflict scenarios, marking a significant shift from Chinese minimal deterrence posture toward aggressive nuclear coercion. Burnhamcharacterizes this escalation as reflecting Chinese regional anxiety regarding American-led alliance structures, particularly strengthening U.S.-Japan security cooperation. Burnham recommends robust reinforcement of American-Japanese alliance relationships and extended nuclear deterrence commitments as essential counterbalance to Chinesenuclear blackmail and regional hegemonic ambitions. 1951 LAS VEGAS
Joan Micklin Silver's groundbreaking debut feature film, Hester Street (1975), vividly portrays the immigrant experience through the eyes of Gitl (Carol Kane), a young, Orthodox Jewish woman who arrives in New York City from Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. Reunited with her already-assimilated husband, Gitl finds they now have little in common and she is forced to adjust to a new way of life. Hester Street achieved international critical and commercial success, and Kane received a Best Actress nomination at the 1976 Academy Awards. Marking the film's 50th anniversary, Dr. Julia Wagner's landmark book Hester Street (Bloomsbury, 2025) is the first to focus exclusively on Micklin Silver's film. Wagner examines how, despite the sexism and prejudice that Micklin Silver faced, a low-budget, black-and-white, female-led, independent production with Yiddish dialogue became an unexpected box-office hit. Through close analysis, Dr. Wagner highlights the importance of Hester Street as a milestone in cinema and affirms Micklin Silver's status as a unique voice in the history of American film-making. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Hezbollah Regeneration Efforts and the Fallout from a Targeted Beirut Strike — David Daoud, Bill Roggio — David Daoud reports that Israel killed Hezbollah's top military commander, Hashem Safieddine, in Beirut, marking an expansion of Israeli operations into the Lebanese capital. This escalation reflects Hezbollah's comprehensive regeneration efforts—including receiving billions in funding from Iran and developing domestic drone production capabilities—which are outpacing Israeli degradation operations. Hezbollah and Hamas view Russia's success in Ukraine as strategically beneficial because it diminishes American global hegemony.
Marking the 400th episode of Marriage Therapy Radio, Zach takes the mic solo to reflect on eight years of podcasting, lessons from working with couples, and what it really means to be a grownup in your relationship. He shares behind-the-scenes insights from the recent three-part series with the husband and the wife (Ira and Andrea), explaining how their courage and vulnerability helped listeners see that change starts with small, consistent choices. Using their story as a lens, Zach revisits his two-part framework for relationship success: Be a grownup – Show up as your wise, mature self who can manage disappointment, own mistakes, and stay grounded. Do more of what your partner likes (and less of what they don't). From there, Zach explores the miracle question, a therapeutic exercise that helps couples (and families) imagine what success looks like before it happens, and offers practical advice for navigating Thanksgiving, holidays, and the everyday moments that define marriage. He also reflects on his own reparenting journey through five years of sobriety, the lessons of risk-taking (inspired by watching football and realizing you don't always have to “punt”), and the idea that “nothing changes if nothing changes.” This heartfelt solo episode blends gratitude, humor, and practical wisdom—a reminder that progress in love and life doesn't require perfection, just a willingness to keep making your relationship a little better today than it was yesterday. Key Takeaways The two secrets to healthy relationships: Be a grownup. Do more of what your partner likes and less of what they don't. The “miracle question” – Ask what it would look like if the next season (or even this weekend) went exactly right; use that as your roadmap. Nothing changes if nothing changes – Progress requires choosing differently, again and again. Be intentional with holidays – Set expectations, manage alcohol and boundaries, and choose gratitude. Reparenting is ongoing work – Healing old patterns is part of growing up emotionally and relationally. Change your relationship with risk – Sometimes you don't need to punt; you can go for it. Better is the goal – Therapy, marriage, and life don't have to be “all better.” Just better than before. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Paris 1874: The Artistic Revolt Against the Salon and the Birth of Impressionism. Sebastian Smee discusses how on April 15, 1874, an exhibition opened marking the birth of Impressionism. The group, including Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Degas, and Berthe Morisot, set up the show deliberately outside the established Salon. The Impressionists were frustrated by repeated Salon rejections and were in revolt; they wanted to paint contemporary life and fresh landscapes, rejecting the hierarchy and "made-up landscapes." The name Impressionism originated as an insult from a critic, inspired by Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise. Critics found the paintings unstructured and lacking deep meaning. A crucial figure absent from the exhibition was Édouard Manet, considered the "father of Impressionism," who still believed success required Salon acceptance and saw the Impressionist show as a small, isolated "silo."
