De relatie tussen Europa en de Verenigde Staten is in een jaar compleet veranderd. Het bewustzijn groeit: Europa moet autonomer worden. Maar hoe? En wat betekent dat precies? Dat zoeken we uit in vijf speciale afleveringen van NRC Vandaag.In deze eerste aflevering hoor je Caroline de Gruyter over de kansen die het verslechteren van de relatie met de VS biedt: vaak worden Europese leiders het pas met elkaar eens als ze aan de rand van de afgrond staan. Hoe rommelig Europa ook is, het heeft een prachtig verhaal te vertellen. Het is tijd voor zelfvertrouwen.Gast: Caroline de GruyterPresentatie: Bram Endedijk Redactie: Ignace SchootMontage: Gal Tsadok-HaiEindredactie: Tessa ColenCoördinatie: Elze van DrielProductie: Rhea StroinkHeb je vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Capitalism has undergone a profound shift, as our financial system has moved away from its primary role of channeling capital into productive investments. Corporate priorities have instead turned toward maximizing short-term shareholder returns and deploying complex financial engineering that boosts firms' bottom lines. In the process, American communities and long-term economic growth have paid the price.Oren joins guest host Chris Griswold to discuss how this process of financialization is distorting the American economy and undermining capitalism itself. He explains how practices like leveraged buyouts, stock buybacks, and speculative financial activity have reshaped corporate incentives, why critics often conflate profit with value creation, and how these trends affect Americans and their communities.Further Reading:“The Finance Industry Is a Grift.

Welcome to the 7th season finale of the Knowledge of Nothing (KON) podcast! Where your hosts, Tony, Brian, Oren and Wayne (aka the KONMen) discuss their favorite inane, somewhat entertaining, and occasionally educational topics from the past season. This finale episode of the season was recorded on Super Bowl Sunday so the guys divvy up SB bingo cards to see which KONMan is King of the Bowl! The guys then tease what is in store for the debut of Season 8, which will be both entertaining and cringeworthy.

A search for the meaning of one of nature's greatest riddles: why do so many creatures transform? “How many creatures walking on this earth / Have their first being in another form?” the Roman poet Ovid asked two thousand years ago. He could not have known the full extent of the truth: today, biologists estimate a stunning three-quarters of all animal species on Earth undergo some form of metamorphosis.But why do tadpoles transform into frogs, caterpillars into butterflies, elvers into eels, immortal jellyfish from sea sprigs to medusae and back again, growing younger and younger in frigid ocean depths? Why must creatures go through massive destruction and remodeling to become who they are? Tracing a path from Aristotle to Darwin to cutting-edge science today, Harman explores that central mystery in Metamorphosis: A Natural and Human History (Basic Books, 2025).Metamorphosis, however, isn't just a biological puzzle: it takes us to the very heart of questions of being and identity, whatever kind of change we humans may undergo. Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by unveiling a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Upcoming GeekWire Podcast Live Event: Join us from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb 12 at Fremont Brewing for a live recording of the GeekWire Podcast with Todd Bishop and John Cook. Free for Fremont Chamber members, $15 otherwise. Register here. This week on the show: Andy Jassy tells Wall Street that Amazon is planning $200 billion in capital expenses this year, mostly to build out AI infrastructure, and investors give it a thumbs down. Microsoft's financial results beat expectations but the company loses $357 billion in market value in a single day after investors learn the extent of its dependence on OpenAI. Meanwhile, OpenAI leases 10 floors of office space in Bellevue, lawmakers in Olympia propose new taxes impacting startup exits and high-income earners, and the bots get their own social network. In our featured conversation, recorded at a dinner hosted by Accenture in Bellevue, GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop sits down with computer scientist and entrepreneur Oren Etzioni to talk about AI agents, the startup landscape, the fight against deepfakes, and what good AI leadership looks like. Etzioni is co-founder of AI agent startup Vercept, founder of the AI2 Incubator, a venture partner at Madrona, and the former founding CEO of the Allen Institute for AI.

America's housing shortage is often framed as a simple supply problem, but building the kinds of homes families actually need has proven far more complicated. While capital continues to flow into large suburban developments and luxury apartment buildings, the market has stopped producing the modest, family-friendly housing that once anchored stable communities and enabled young families to remain in thriving cities.Bobby Fijan, co-founder of the American Housing Corporation, joins Oren to discuss why the “starter home” has largely disappeared and how development incentives, zoning rules, and capital markets have reshaped what gets built. They explore why current housing designs increasingly favor singles and roommates over families, how housing supply shapes family formation, urban vitality, and economic mobility, and how prefab manufacturing and vertically integrated construction start-ups like the American Housing Corporation could help deliver row homes in established neighborhoods and begin to change the culture.

Producer Jonathan Burns https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanaburns talks about his methods for selecting the vibe that he presents to brands and agencies. And the different considerations that drive his every choice from kraft, to restaurants, crew decisions, and more.Matt and Oren have worked with Jonathan on multiple occasions. And they talk about what separates a production manager who's graduated “in title” to producer, from a producer who really can be more than a better production coordinator, and box checker.It's being good at being client-facing. And as an expert, Jonathan has gained a lot of knowledge about ways in which directors lose clients. And there are some missteps you'll want to avoid.How can you be compromising and easy to work with, and still be a commercial director that gets asked back? Should you do animatics, and does anyone care? What does it mean to stand up for your vision and not be a pain in the a** director?If you've been dying for some mentorship as a commercial director, you won't want to miss this episode!Connect with Jonathan on IG: @jburnsfilm---Help Matts' film: https://wefunder.com/badfeelingHelp our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: Klizia 97 Stapler https://www.amazon.com/s?srs=20289756011&rh=p_89%3AEllepiOren's Endorsement: GQ Jordan Nutrition's recipe on Instagram for a power bar.

Welcome to the 7th season of the Knowledge of Nothing (KON) podcast! Where your hosts, Tony, Brian, Oren and Wayne (aka the KONMen) discuss the inane, somewhat entertaining, and occasionally educational topics on a weekly basis. This week's show is small but mighty! Brian discusses what he wants his legacy to be and it's not what you think. Tony has a “size” issue with Instagram and Wayne shares a new airline pre-flight message that should be on all airlines. Oren packs in a puzzling bug fact and almost gets Wayne to crack with his jokes and we finally get to hear who won the NFL Hometown Pickem's…hopefully. The show wraps with another installment of Idiots on Idioms but this time the phrases are taken from 17th & 18th century literary works and they all sound way more vulgar than expected.

America's welfare programs have long operated on the assumption that states and nonprofits could responsibly steward federal dollars with minimal oversight. But a series of explosive fraud cases—from California to Mississippi to Minnesota—have exposed just how broken that system has become, with lax oversight and minimal accountability leading to billions of dollars stolen from taxpayers.Shad White, Mississippi's state auditor and author of Mississippi Swindle, joins Oren to explain how his office uncovered one of the largest welfare scandals in modern history and what it reveals about America's safety net. They discuss why grant-based welfare programs are uniquely vulnerable to abuse, how federalism often undermines accountability, and how practical reforms like stronger enforcement, clearer metrics, and simpler program design can restore public trust while helping the families who need support most.

The federal sex crimes trial of Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander is underway in New York City. Prosecutors accuse the real estate and security moguls of sex trafficking, drugging, and raping multiple women and girls. The defense has countered that the brothers are just womanizers, not criminals, and that all sex was consensual. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sat down with former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to break down the stunning allegations, the explosive opening statements, and the key witness testimony in this high-stakes case.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: Check out Particle's Face Cream here: https://particleformen.co/sidebar and use my code SIDEBAR20 for a 20% discount sitewide.HOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How important is Sundance to your career as a commercial director? Matt and Oren talk about their experiences in Park City before the festival wraps up its last year in Utah. With Matt working to raise money for his latest film, “Bad Feeling”, there's a lively discussion about whether making narrative films can advance your career as a commercial director. And the answer is, for some directors, it can make you stand out. But for others, there's a better way.Then Oren talks about his latest experience shooting outside Los Angeles. And Matt and Oren talk about how to handle the shoot schedule your AD creates. And they raise some good points about what to watch for when shooting out of order. Especially when working with athletes.For example, in LA, actors and crews will help you manage issues related to continuity that have more to do with than just “was this there in the last scene”. It's Oscar time, Sundance season, and the festival circuit is just kicking off!

La Virgen María nos invita hoy a orar y a ser oración viva, porque hemos dicho “sí” a su llamado.

The annual gathering of the world's leadership class at the World Economic Forum in Davos bills itself as high-minded forum for increased global cooperation in the now-struggling old international order. But, in practice, it's more of a concentrated mass of industry titans flexing with their various status badges, “bilaterals,” and AI slogans all while anxiously refreshing their phones for the latest updates on the Trump administration's next moves.Filming from his hotel room in the Alps, Oren, our intrepid correspondent in Davos, joins Drew to report what he heard and saw from these often panic-stricken elites. They discuss how the Davos crowd is really reacting to Trump's approach to alliances and American leadership, why episodes like Greenland trigger outsized panic among our allies, and where legitimate concerns about trust and cooperation get lost in elite groupthink.Further Reading:“A Sharp Break over a Piece of Ice,” Oren Cass, Commonplace.

La Virgen nos invita a orar para descubrir en el corazón cuánto valemos para Jesús y cuánto Él nos ama. La oración no hace que Dios empiece a amarnos, sino que abre nuestros ojos para reconocer su amor vivo. Cuando nos dejamos amar por Él y lo vivimos en nuestra vida, otros pueden descubrir a Jesús vivo en nosotros.

When Sergio Cilli https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1826186/ made his first AI film, it really didn't get noticed. And neither did many others he made. Sure they were good. But what got noticed more was the one video he made, which showed why AI isn't quite and why it's not yet the monster filmmakers fear.Sergio joins Kristyna Archer https://www.archer.vision/ to talk about making AI films. What works, what doesn't, and how filmmakers can be ready for what comes next.Matt and Oren dive into how much it costs, where commercial budgets might be headed, and how AI will be adopted into filmmaking and commercials. And Sergio and Kristyna bring two different perspectives.Kristyna is an Adobe Firefly, an AI ambassador for Adobe, and has a background working with LED volume walls, Unreal Engine, and generally skews to the tech side of things. Sergio came from fear. It was only after his wife encouraged him to experiment that he discovered his desire to explore AI and filmmaking.This is a conversation about AI that tackles the elephant in the room from a variety of perspectives from working commercial directors. And it's not just talk, it's commercial directors who've actually explored the tools and put out some stuff – that if it wasn't impressive, it could cast a shadow on their directing careers. Or as Oren's friend likes to say, it tackles the “elephant that AI'nt in the room”.See Sergio's AI Audition video at https://youtu.be/AEbqJj2hIjgAnd find Sergio and Kristyna on Instagram @sergiocilli and @archerstudioooooo---Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: MoldQuestVHS on Instagram @moldquestvhsOren's Endorsement: The Pitt on HBO and the video "Beat Any Escape Room- 10 proven tricks and tips" from Mark Rober https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwgaTYOx0RISergio's Endorsement: "Extraordinary Things to Cutout and Collage", the book. https://www.mariarivans.com/extraordinary-things-to-cut-out-and-collage and Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee https://us.foursigmatic.com/products/original-mushroom-coffeeKristyna's Endorsement: The Wonder App has a great community of artists, producers, conversation and more, https://app.wonderstudios.com/ And also the Endel App https://endel.io/ for people with ADHD.

In a shocking twist to one of the year's most closely watched legal battles, Kate Whiteman — the first woman to legally accuse the Alexander brothers of SA — has been found dead in Australia just weeks before the high-stakes federal trial is set to begin. Authorities in New South Wales have ruled her death “non-suspicious,” but the timing has reignited nationwide media attention and public scrutiny. Whiteman's lawsuit, filed in March 2024, was the catalyst for dozens of additional claims from women across New York, Florida, California and beyond, accusing the wealthy real estate siblings of drugging, coercing and assaulting them over more than a decade. Now, as jury selection opens this month in Manhattan, prosecutors are moving forward with some of the most serious federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges seen in years — charges that could put the Alexander brothers behind bars for life. The Alexander brothers — Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander — are accused in a sweeping federal indictment that alleges a long-running scheme to exploit women using their wealth, influence and luxury lifestyle.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

En este mensaje, la Virgen María nos hace una invitación urgente y llena de amor: orar sin cesar. Nos recuerda que en la oración encontramos el gozo verdadero y la luz para enfrentar cualquier dificultad. Al vivir la oración con el corazón, la Eucaristía, la Palabra de Dios, el ayuno y la confesión, fortalecemos nuestra fe y permanecemos unidos a Dios. Así, caminando de la mano de María, aprendemos que quien ora con perseverancia nunca camina solo.

Inflation may have cooled, but Americans still feel squeezed. Groceries are still expensive, housing and health care costs continue to outpace wages, and consumer credit debt continues to balloon, leaving a gap between encouraging economic data and the daily experience of the average American. Voters continue to express concern, and the Trump administration has responded with a flurry of proposals aimed at bringing prices down.Daniel Kishi, senior policy advisor at American Compass, joins Oren to make sense of what's actually driving the affordability crisis and how policymakers should respond. They examine recent, sometimes unconventional, ideas from the administration to expand housing supply, cap credit card rates, overhaul health care, and empower more aggressive antitrust enforcement. Plus, they discuss the necessary role that Congress must play in codifying workable, populist solutions if the affordability crisis is to be solved.Further Reading:“Trump's New Volcker Shock" by Henry Olsen“Our Concentrated Health Care Markets Are Anything but ‘Free'" by Chris Griswold

The CHIPS Act was billed as a once-in-a-generation effort to rebuild America's manufacturing base in a strategically vital industry. But turning legislation into functioning factories and good paying jobs requires far more than slogans about “onshoring” or wish-casting. It demands a state-sponsored investment outside of America's typical comfort zone.Mike Schmidt, former director of the CHIPS Program Office and co-author of Factory Settings, joins Oren to discuss what it actually took to stand up the largest industrial policy initiative in decades. They explore how the government negotiated with global chipmakers, why grants and tax credits were combined, what critics missed in the “everything bagel” debate, and how permitting, labor, and geopolitical risk shaped their efforts. They close by discussing how we'll know if the CHIPS Act ultimately succeeds and the way the U.S. should think about future reindustrialization efforts.Further Reading:"Chipping Away" by Chris Griswold

Matt and Oren are pulling together their year-end recap posts for social media. And they realize, “wow, there's a lot to reflect upon!”LA is definitely enjoying a resurgence, of sorts. And while more productions are shooting in LA, a lot has changed over the past few years. And everything isn't rosy.So if you're wondering what's the right type of year-end social media recap, or what you should post that will win over the right people, then you won't want to miss this episode!Matt and Oren have some diverging opinions Like what you ask? Well…sure, it's cool to show your working and always on set. But if you only celebrate your own wins, are you being tone-deaf to the struggle it takes to get those opportunities? And what are some ways to make it more human?Matt and Oren look at it this way. You have to post something intriguing so people who can hire you have you top of mind when the right gig comes. But what should you focus on? Tagging people? The best of your best? Family? Something else?Finally, with the industry in its December-January slow-period, Matt's been thinking about setting goals and starting new habits. And Oren shares why this time of the year is ideal for some deep internal probing.---Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: 1. Moviemaker magazine. 2.

En esta reflexión, la Virgen nos recuerda que la paz nace del amor y de sabernos amados por Dios. Nos invita a orar con el corazón, a no perder la esperanza y a confiar en que el Padre Celestial nos ama, nos llama por nuestro nombre y desea salvarnos uno por uno.

This week on CineD Focus Check, CineD's Nino Leitner sits down with cinematographer Oren Soffer, co-cinematographer on Gareth Edwards' The Creator—the $70M sci-fi feature that sparked industry conversation for its minimal, agile approach to big-scale filmmaking. But this episode is not about camera specs. It's an honest, wide-ranging discussion about generative AI and what it's doing to culture, trust, and creative work. Oren shares why he believes public generative video models (like Sora) are fundamentally harmful—flooding feeds with “slop,” accelerating misinformation, and eroding shared reality. At the same time, he outlines a pragmatic middle ground: bespoke, closed-loop models trained on your own data, and specific use cases where AI could speed up workflows (without cutting artists out). We also cover: Why Hollywood struggles to adopt proven “lean production” methods—even when they work The state of theatrical cinema, what's actually changing, and what still brings audiences back Why the AI hype cycle may be approaching a breaking point—and what “the last one standing” could look like The core belief underneath it all: humans still seek connection with other humans If you're worried about the future of human creativity—or trying to navigate what's real versus synthetic—this conversation is essential.   (00:00) — Why This Conversation Matters Why this episode goes beyond gear and into culture, trust, and creativity.

En esta reflexión, la Virgen nos habla con amor de Madre y nos conduce al corazón del Evangelio. Nos recuerda que sin Dios somos polvo, y que solo volviendo a Él, en la oración y en la confianza, nuestra vida encuentra sentido. Pero al mismo tiempo nos revela una verdad aún más hermosa: somos preciosos para Jesús y profundamente amados por Él.

En este mensaje, la Virgen nos invita a orar para descubrir una verdad muy profunda: somos preciosos para Jesús y somos inmensamente amados por Él. Solo en la oración podemos comprender cuánto valemos para su Corazón y aprender a confiarle nuestra vida, nuestras heridas, nuestro pasado y nuestro futuro. Cuando descubrimos cuánto nos ama Jesús, la entrega total se vuelve posible.

Bella Gonzales https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7543234/ brings a ton of insight about being a cinematographer on series like Pen 15, Fargo, Alien: Earth, and The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.It's a really inspiring episode that made Oren want to pick up a camera and operate again. On the other hand, Bella is a self-described lighting-focused DP (Director of Photography). And her conversation with Matt and Oren details how her approach to cinematography enhances, and perhaps even creates, the world of the show more so than an operator-focused DP.Bella also gets into the playbook for Fargo and the rules of the road that create its uniquely offbeat look. And Bella lays out how this makes audiences feel more like they are inside the story.You won't want to miss this unique episode with a cinematographer who passionately explains the techniques she uses in the art of her craft.Find Bella on Instagram @bellagonzalesdp---Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: Ethan Hawke on social mediaOren's Endorsement: a400 round base monopod https://www.ifootagegear.com/products/monopod-a400-roundbaseBella's Endorsement: "The Duellists", movie by Ridley Scott https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075968 Hosted on Acast.

After running on a campaign centered on ending forever wars, the Trump administration has become increasingly aggressive toward Venezuela—and rumors are abuzz that the administration may soon attempt to topple the Maduro regime.Michael Brendan Dougherty, senior writer at National Review, joins Oren to discuss why Venezuela has reemerged as a focal point in Washington and what that says about the state of American foreign policy. They examine how this pressure campaign, ostensibly over fentanyl, looks increasingly like an attempt at regime change and the risks of escalation without public buy-in or strategic clarity. They also broaden the conversation to consider how this same lack of focus appears in debates over trade, affordability, and energy, and undermines the administration's ability to explain its policies to the public.Further reading: "The Next Foreign Misadventure" by Michael Brendan Dougherty

Tony Yacenda https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2829241/ , the director from "Chad Powers", "Dave", "American Vandal", and a ton of commercials, joins Oren and Matt. And in this episode, Tony gives us a look into how he jumped like four levels to get his first big break on American Vandal.Then Matt and Oren get Tony to share what it means to rebalance how you think about your role and what makes you an effective team player. Why? Because what you think is right can be a lot different on a show with higher network exposure and increased performance pressure. Wanna sneak-peak? Have the confidence to do your role really well, and care less about how it impacts other people's jobs. Without being an a**hole.Finally, the three share strategies for being an artist who takes every note, without robotically being a yes-man and without sacrificing the cohesiveness of your creative vision.
