Podcasts about Piet

Recordamos a Piet Akkerman, el voluntario belga que dejó su país para luchar en la Guerra Civil española y combatir el fascismo.

Staying delulu is the solulu. Althans, dat dacht Daan het afgelopen jaar. Tijd om daarop terug te blikken, en met wie kan dat beter dan met ChatGPT? Misschien dat ‘ie, naast een flinke spiegel voorhouden, ook kan helpen bij het bestellen van een karaokebus voor Piet én deze podcast naar nummer 2 van Nederland kan laten stijgen, want besties Mo en Kaj horen natuurlijk altijd op plek 1.

High achievers—this one's for you! If you constantly feel:• Like nothing you do is ever “enough”• Guilty when you rest• Stuck because things aren't perfect yetYou might be caught in the curse of the high achiever.

Let's talk about failing your goals.Because if I'm being honest, I've fallen short on almost every goal I've ever set.And for a long time, I let that mean something about me. That I was undisciplined. That I couldn't finish what I started. That no matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough—so why even try?But here's what I've learned: the problem was never the goals.It was the story I attached to them.In today's episode, we want to reframe how we think about goals—especially if you're looking back at this year feeling disappointed, behind, or tempted to say, ‘Why bother?'Goals are meant to give you direction, but not define your worth…When you shift your focus from outcomes to effort and the actions you can control, you enjoy the process and actually get results that last. If you've ever let missing a goal give you permission to quit—or stop dreaming altogether—this one's for you.If you're a coach, gym owner, or someone trying to build strength that carries into the real world—this one is for you.

Wir sind in Gerlos en jetzt geht’s los! Nou ja Piet dan, want Daan raakt haar ski’s niet aan dit jaar. Over aanraken gesproken, ze heeft nog wel wat wensen als het gaat om winterse romantiek, want die is als sneeuw voor de zon verdwenen. Bossen rozen, brieven, diamanten, waar zijn ze gebleven? Net als het geld dat ze verwachtte te winnen met de krasloten trouwens, want ook dat is nergens te bekennen.

The Goal Setting Framework For Work And Life That Keeps Us Moving Forward In 2026 In this reflective solo episode, Emylee shares the exact 3-pillar framework she uses to set goals at Pharos—and in her own life. Recorded during a quiet early-morning drive down the mountain after the annual leadership retreat, she reflects on the progress the team made in 2025, the lessons learned, and the clarity that comes from reviewing both the wins and the challenges.She introduces the three types of goals that guide every decision at Pharos: • Financial – supporting stability, reinvestment, and long-term health. • Community – delivering on the promise of results, connection, and service. • Cohesion – building systems and infrastructure that keep the team aligned and the experience consistent.Listeners will learn how to use this exact framework in their own lives by brainstorming everything they could do, then identifying the one to three “rocks” that will truly move the needle in the next 90 days. Emylee breaks down how to think in quarterly pushes, avoid overwhelm, and build a year that feels intentional—rather than rushed.Interested in working with us to get a plan of action for you? Join our 7-Day Results Accelerator kicking off each Monday in January 2026 for anyone craving momentum, clarity, and a roadmap they can actually stick to.

FC Groningen sloot de eerste seizoenshelft af met een 1-1 tegen Go Ahead Eagles, maar bij Radio Milko blijft de toon opvallend positief. De ploeg van Dick Lukkien staat er beter voor dan vooraf werd verwacht, al blijft de afwerking een hardnekkig probleem. Aan tafel bespreken William Pomp, Piet van Dijk en Marnix Kolder hoe de wedstrijd in Deventer symbool stond voor het seizoen tot nu toe: goed veldspel, veel kansen, maar te weinig rendement. De binnenkant-paal van Taha en de grote kans van Schreuders worden genoemd als veelzeggende momenten. Toch overheerst waardering voor de stabiele organisatie en het herkenbare spel onder Lukkien. De contractverlenging van de trainer wordt gezien als een cruciale stap richting de tweede seizoenshelft. “Hij trekt iedereen erbij,” zegt Kolder, die benadrukt hoe helder Lukkien zijn visie overbrengt. Tegelijkertijd waarschuwen de heren voor een mogelijke uittocht komende zomer, met Resink, Van Bergen, Vaessen en Blokzijl als kandidaten voor een transfer. * Vragen voor in de podcast?

Joe Riggio (Varsity House, Business of Strength) joins Pieter Vodden to talk about what really separates gyms that grow from gyms that fade out: business fundamentals, leadership, culture, and having the humility to get coached.They go back to the early Jim Jones days—why traveling for education builds confidence, camaraderie, and “earned” self-respect—and how that same mindset became a blueprint for building better businesses. Joe breaks down the origin of Business of Strength (from early workshops to mastermind groups), why most gym owners hit the “coach-owner paradox,” and how perspective, systems, and community can pull you out of the weeds.They also recap their Cactus to Clouds attempt—training prep, pacing, hydration, gear, and why you don't do this hike casually. The conversation widens into endurance vs. strength, VO2 max and longevity, fatherhood, resilience, and why doing hard things on purpose makes real life easier.If you're a coach, gym owner, or someone trying to build strength that carries into the real world—this one is for you.

Er pæn det samme som smuk, eller er det en lidt kedelig Bil ? En bil der ikke gør nogen skade på omgivelserne? Og findes der i øvrigt pæne børnetegninger?De spørgsmål går igen i denne udgave af Bilsnobberne, hvor fire Bilsnobber har sat hinanden i stævne hos Nils Hartmann igen i et alt-andet-end-ydmygt hjørne af Måløv Værkstedby. Her skal de finde frem til Verdens Pæneste Bil.Nils Hartmann, passioneret bilbygger, får – traditionen tro – igen bragt egne biler i spil. Med hans bagkatalog (og garageindhold) er der også en del muligheder. Et af hans pænhedskriterier er, at bilen skal kunne tegnes af et barn. I modsætning til sidste gang Nils var med i Bilsnobberne, bliver han ikke diskvalificeret for sine bilvalg.Nicolai Richter-Friis, stjernearkitekt med blandt andet rustne bygninger på samvittigheden, kan slet ikke holde tanken om pænhed ud. Han argumenterer for, at der også er nødt til at være noget grimt. Måske fordi han som inkarneret Zuffenhausen hang-around alligevel synes det var for fantasiløst at vælge hans eget go-to-design: En tidlig Porsche 911.Adam Estrup, autoriseret podcast-medvært og kendt for roller som Otto Leisner og Piet van Deurs  (Bilsnobberne kærer sig om Det Grå Guld) argumenterer blandt andet for et facelift af et facelift af et facelift som verdens næstpæneste bil. Han skjuler pænt sin skuffelse, da værten ikke bifalder hans valg af pæneste bil.Stefan Kaas, podcastens mest ungdommelige vært, går ind til dagens udsendelse fuldt overbevist om, at han naturligvis vil vinde. Det gør han næsten – og taler godt for sit valg, der høster bred anerkendelse – men må se sig slået på målstregen. Stefan bliver kun en lillebitte smule fornærmet og tavs resten af udsendelsen.Lyt med og hør om du er enig. Du kan også følge med i spændende afstikkere om Kay Fiskers Vestersøhus I København og om Operahuset i Sydney i virkeligheden behøver mere end én skal. Hvis du ikke er, hører vi det meget gerne! Også om vi virkelig har fundet Verdens Pæneste Bil.Tak fordi I lytter med, liker, skriver, og abonnerer.

Me voimme entistä lujemmin luottaa profeetalliseen sanaan. Ja hyvin teette tekin, jos kiinnitätte katseenne siihen kuin pimeässä loistavaan lamppuun, kunnes päivä sarastaa ja kointähti syttyy teidän sydämessänne. Ennen muuta teidän on oltava selvillä siitä, etteivät pyhien kirjoitusten ennustukset ole kenenkään omin neuvoin selitettävissä. Yksikään profeetallinen sana ei ole tullut julki ihmisten tahdosta, vaan ihmiset ovat puhuneet Pyhän Hengen johtamina sen, minkä ovat Jumalalta saaneet.2. Piet. 1: 19-21Seurassasi Kirsi Jokela

Trevor welcomes prolific retail investor Piet Panda to discuss his unique approach to the mining and exploration sector. Panda details how he uses advanced tools to quickly process drill traces, assays, and company data, reducing his due diligence time significantly. He stresses that while data is key—because "the junior is the data"—investors must combine this analysis with human conversations to find "orange flags or the red flags" and understand the context of competitors. Regarding strategy, Pete favors making big bets early on after fast due diligence and explains that he trims positions that double or triple quickly, even if valuation supports it, because the market cannot "swallow that rerate that fast". The conversation wraps up with a look at 2026 themes, where he notes the margin expansion for gold producers is real and advises listeners to not be afraid to buy an up-trending chart.

Fredrik chats to Dylan Beattie about Rockstar, esoteric programming languages (Perl in latin, anyone?), and what might happen after the AI bubble. AI will ruin jokes, they can't do things just right. But some things hiding under the label are actually useful as well. Have we been in any similarly strange bubbles before, and what might be left that's useful after it? Also evolution, revolution, and strange Scrabble facts. Recorded during Øredev 2025. The episode is sponsored by Ellipsis - let us edit your podcast and make it sound just as good as Kodsnack!

Er waren uiteindelijk geen (geile) mannen nodig om de bingo te laten escaleren; een aantal designeritems was al voldoende. Toen zelfs Piet het niet droog hield tijdens de speeches, was het uitje sowieso al geslaagd. Of de tranen ook gaan vloeien tijdens het jubileum blijft nog even spannend, want voor diamanten heeft Daan misschien geen plek meer, een nieuwe auto zou haar niet slecht uitkomen.

Elisabetta Tiveron"Natale a Venezia"Musica sull'acquaNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.itSedici racconti natalizi che narrano Venezia come città musicaleA cura di Elisabetta Tiveron e Caterina SchiavonCon una “ouverture” di Ilaria Serra Venezia è canto. La voce di Venezia non è mai un suono solitario. La sua musica è un'orchestra di rimbalzi, di rimandi, di rincorse. A Venezia l'acqua suona all'unisono: i remi, le prue, le voci, i passi, le sirene, le campane e i gabbiani orchestrano melodie fatte di sciabordii. Le onde incontrano sempre una sponda, un muro di mattoni, l'angolo di una calle, il fianco di uno scafo, la volta di un sotoportego da cui riverberare, intrecciandosi in un mosaico sonoro.Sedici racconti che narrano Venezia nel periodo natalizio attraverso una chiave di lettura speciale, la musica, che della città lagunare è stata sempre elemento distintivo.Venezia è una città musicale. Per la sua storia, che l'ha vista capitale europea della musica tra il Cinquecento e il Settecento: Claudio Monteverdi e il melodramma, Antonio Vivaldi, Benedetto e Alessandro Marcello, Tomaso Albinoni, Baldassare Galuppi, ecc. E per la sua conformazione unica, così facile alle sonorità spontanee.«La musica parla di Venezia quanto e più delle sue immagini da cartolina, e permette alle autrici e agli autori di questa antologia di muoversi liberi, creativi, curiosi. Natale, in queste pagine, è atmosfera, suggestione, ricordo, invenzione. È il momento in cui la musica interiore di ciascun personaggio si intreccia con la colonna sonora della città, e si fa racconto» (Elisabetta Tiveron e Caterina Schiavon).Giunta alla sua sesta edizione, l'antologia «Natale a Venezia» quest'anno si propone in modalità musicale, una vera e propria “partitura letteraria”, con note di programma, ouverture, movimenti e finale. Un puzzle di coinvolgenti storie, che risuonano e toccano corde nel profondo. In una gelida sera di dicembre un gruppo eterogeneo di donne si riunisce per le prove del coro e attraverso il canto richiamano la perduta anima sonora di Venezia, fatta di antiche canzoni di barcaioli, canti di lavoro e cori storici, un piccolo miracolo natalizio contro il silenzio e l'oblio; la pasticcera Sofia e un uomo misterioso a bordo di una barca che le offre una “musica della laguna” prodotta da fili di conchiglie; la musicista Sabine Perrin, detta La Gioconda dai suoi vecchi compagni si scuola, è insoddisfatta della sua vita da single e spera di trovare un marito a Venezia, ma di fronte ad un dono inaccettabile fugge; una donna, reduce da una storia finita, affronta la vigilia di Natale tra malinconia e ironia, l'incontro casuale con la canzone Driving Home for Christmas la spinge verso la sorella che l'aspetta e riscopre che “tornare a casa per Natale” significa, prima di tutto, sentirsi a proprio agio con se stessa; nel dicembre del 1755, l'Archiatra imperiale Gerard Van Swieten indaga sul misterioso deperimento della giovane Sofia e sospetta che il precettore, un abile violinista, stia usando antiche e nefaste armonie per un proprio scopo; un uomo morto vaga in una Venezia sospesa nella vigilia di Natale, cercando la strada di casa e la moglie che ha amato: guidato da un bambino misterioso, segue la musica dei ricordi attraverso le calli addobbate a festa; Sofia sosta sulla panchina rossa della Giudecca per onorare il ricordo del primo incontro dei nonni, Ilaria e Alberto; un giovane seminarista abruzzese, Gaetano, viene mandato a Venezia per inaugurare a Natale il nuovo, maestoso organo della chiesa di San Gurian; le prove del Concerto di Natale sono turbate dal pianto lamentoso di un bimbo nell'adiacente orfanotrofio della Pietà, l'antico istituto di Vivaldi; l'Agente 239 è a Venezia la Vigilia di Natale per estrarre l'anima di un caso irrisolto, un'esperienza resa una tortura dalla musica onnipresente e ossessiva di Last Christmas; Sorella Milagros, giovane suora filippina, rovescia la spesa del convento e teme di essere rispedita a Manila ma durante la messa di mezzanotte, la sua voce pura si innalza in canto, portando speranza, redenzione e pace a tutta la città; Clara eredita dalla cugina un piccolo ritratto del compositore Baldassare Galuppi che, appeso dietro una porta, prende vita; Guano da Piccione, musicista purista, si scontra con la commercializzazione ossessiva delle Quattro Stagioni di Vivaldi e preferisce esibirsi in strada la notte di Capodanno con musiche meno note, finendo arrestato; un violinista profugo, sopravvissuto al naufragio in cui ha perso moglie e figlia, trova rifugio a Venezia accolto da una donna di nome Maria, che gli restituisce dignità e voce facendogli riparare il violino; la giovane e squattrinata Matilde, con la passione per il canto, è assunta come maschera al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia per l'allestimento dell'atto veneziano de I racconti di Hoffmann, la celebre Barcarola. A cura di: Elisabetta Tiveron e Caterina SchiavonRacconti di: Isabella Albano, Philippe Apatie, Elisabetta Baldisserotto, Gianluigi Bodi, Gabriella Bosmin, Lorenzo Bottazzo, Diana Chiarin, Claudio Ellero, Michela Fregona, Nilla Patrizia Licciardo, Daniela Rossi, Mauro Rugger, Caterina Schiavon, Ilaria Serra, Elisabetta Tiveron, Francesco Zanolla.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Behold I am the haindmaid of the LORD be it done unto me according to your word! Andvent is a season of waiting, a pause before the messiah is born. We need to sit and wait and prepare our hearts. The Angle asked our Lady to be the mother of God, she paused and then declaired.. Behold I am the haindmaid of the LORD be it done unto me according to your word! Mary teaches us the pattern: Listen. Believe. Receive. Give praise. At the Annunciation, she offers her FIAT — a yes that lets God's life enter the world. One hand of the Pietà cradles Christ, the other stays open. So must ours. How and where is God calling you to give him your FIAT? Spiritual motherhood means emptying ourselves so we can receive divine life and nurture it through the Holy Spirit. We take souls to Our Lady, hide under her mantle when afraid, and offer ourselves as a total gift. The world needs good moms — women who radiate Christ's love and suffer with one another. The feminine genius is vulnerability, staying soft when life tries to harden us. Mama Mary, make me a virtuous woman like you. Help me give my FIAT, be a light that cannot be dimmed, a heart that stays soft, and a soul that radiates Christ's love. Amen.

L'affaire Adeline Piet est souvent résumée par les médias à l'horreur d'un aveu : celui de son époux, Benoit Piet, qui a fait disparaitre les restes de sa femme dans les flammes de son barbecue. Certaines sources mentionnent plutôt « un four à pain », mais le résultat est le même : une image d'horreur absolue, sur fonds de précarité et de famille nombreuse, un fait divers qui fait froid dans le dos, d'autant qu'il a fallu traverser de nombreuses fausses pistes pour arriver à l'ultime confession d'un homme sans doute dépassé par la violence qui l'habitait.CRIMES EN BRETAGNE • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit, issue de la collection CRIMES · Histoires Vraies .

We krijgen een zinderende apotheose in Abu Dhabi. Met nog één race te gaan maken Lando Norris, Max Verstappen en Oscar Piastri nog kans op de wereldtitel.  Verstappen won de GP van Qatar, mede dankzij een tactische fout van McLaren. Piastri eindigde als tweede, maar Norris liep met een vierde plaats meer schade op. We hebben een hele boel na te beschouwen en vooruit te blikken. En dat doen we dit keer met coureur en analist Jeroen Bleekemolen, oud-engineer Ernest Knoors en F1-verslaggever Louis Dekker.

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Piet Buyck, global technology executive, AI strategist, and author of AI Compass for SC Leaders. With more than 30 years leading innovative IT solutions, Piet is on a mission to make AI-driven planning easy, accessible, and human-centered.Piet introduces the concept of the AI Compass—a framework that blends generative, agentic, and narrow AI to guide leaders through the complexities of modern supply chain planning. Instead of treating AI as just another tool, the compass helps organizations navigate uncertainty, break down functional silos, and move toward a more adaptive, holistic decision-making model.He emphasizes that AI should never replace humans, but instead amplify their judgment. Piet explains how to operationalize a “human + AI” decision model using a balance of accuracy, transparency, and fairness—determining what to automate, what to supervise, and what must remain human-led.The conversation explores why supply chain planning has remained stubbornly manual despite decades of technological progress. Piet outlines entrenched habits—rigid processes, siloed KPIs, and opaque numbers—that prevent companies from becoming AI-first. He shows how organizations can shift toward a more dynamic, assumption-driven, data-aware planning culture.Looking ahead, Piet describes the cultural transformation required for supply chain teams to thrive in an AI-augmented world: embracing continuous learning, developing data literacy, unlearning outdated practices, and building confidence to collaborate with AI systems rather than fear them. With the right mindset and governance, he believes companies can unlock massive value—far beyond traditional planning improvements.A must-listen for supply chain leaders, innovators, and anyone navigating the intersection of AI and organizational transformation.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With over 7,000 rare diseases affecting an estimated 30 million people in the US alone, these conditions have long been underfunded and under-researched, leaving patients with limited options. However, virtual trials are emerging as a breakthrough.  In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh is joined by Piet van der Graaf, Senior VP at Certara – a company providing predictive simulation, data-driven modelling, and AI tailored for drug development – for a conversation on the potential of digital twins in rare disease research and drug development. You can listen to episode 220 of the pharmaphorum podcast in the player below, download the episode to your computer, or find it - and subscribe to the rest of the series – on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podbean, and pretty much wherever else you download your other podcasts from.

In this PAC Talk episode, Pieter sits down with Cyto-Wellness founder and traditional naturopath Mitzi Avila to break down one of the most overlooked performance tools in the fitness world: biometric scanning. Mitzi explains how her Meridien-based scan can read over 2,000 internal markers—from mineral deficiencies and gut imbalances to sleep disruptors, neurotransmitter patterns, toxic load, parasites, and more. Pieter shares his firsthand experience with the scan and how it immediately uncovered the root causes of his sleep and energy issues.Mitzi dives deep into gut health, hydration, electrolyte balance, mineral deficiencies, heavy metals, red light therapy, nootropics, and why so many high performers secretly operate in burnout mode. She breaks down her 4 Golden Rules for decoding cravings and energy dips, explains why most people are dehydrated even when they drink a gallon a day, and outlines how the body actually repairs during Delta/REM sleep.Whether you're a serious athlete, a stressed professional, or someone who wants to understand their own body on a deeper level, this episode gives you real, actionable tools to fine-tune your health from the inside out. Mitzi now works out of Pharos Palm Springs every Friday & Saturday — offering full biometric scans, supplement audits, and personalized wellness plans.

In this live PAC Talk session, coach Pieter Vodden sits down with writer and strength-training historian Michael Joseph Gross to explore what strength really means — not just for performance, but for longevity and quality of life. They trace the history of strength culture from ancient Greece to modern gyms, unpack how we've told stories about muscle over the centuries, and why we're only just beginning to understand how powerful strength training is for living longer, better lives.Michael shares how learning a scary new sport in his 40s pushed him into serious training and ultimately into eight years of research on strength — from motor units and neurology to myth, culture, and identity. He and Pieter break down why strength training has to become as automatic as brushing your teeth, how a simple, consistent program can change your body and mind at any age, and why the real magic happens when strength becomes part of your story, not just your routine.They dive into the science of muscle and aging, including landmark studies on people in their 90s who dramatically improved strength, independence, and life expectancy after just eight weeks of resistance training. Michael explains how lifting can reduce risk for chronic disease, support brain health, and even rival antidepressants for many people. The conversation also tackles the myth of “brain vs. brawn,” showing how muscle actually supports cognition, emotional resilience, and empathy.A big part of this talk centers on women and strength, featuring the story of Jan Todd and the fight to normalize heavyweight training for women. Pieter and Michael break down persistent myths about “bulking,” “girl exercises vs. boy exercises,” and the way fitness marketing has confused people about what really works. They also talk about the synergy between strength and cardio, the pros and cons of bodybuilding culture, why relatability matters more than extremity, and how community gyms like Pharos help people build not just muscle, but a shared sense of meaning and connection through training.Connect with MichaelBuy his bookInstagramWebsite

In this 30-minute conversation, Piet and I unpack how to break free from diet culture and step into a sustainable, empowering way of eating that actually moves the needle — physically, mentally, and emotionally.We cover:

Adeline Piet, 34 ans, une mère de sept enfants âgés de deux à quinze ans. Elle ne serait jamais partis sans eux. Les mois et les années vont pourtant ébranler cette certitude.

Most people think training starts and ends in the gym — but that's only two hours of your day. The other 22 hours? That's your lifestyle, and it's where true progress happens.In this PAC Talk Mini, Pieter Vodden breaks down the underestimated power of lifestyle — sleep, recovery, relationships, hydration, habits, and small joys — that define how you perform, think, and feel. From horse therapy in Gardner Valley to Taco Tuesday and family movie nights, Pieter shows how balance and awareness drive sustainable success.Whether you're part of the Pharos Accelerator or just trying to optimize your day, this episode challenges you to design a lifestyle that actually supports your goals — not one that burns you out.

In this PAC Talk Mini, host Emylee Vodden shares a simple nightly ritual she practices with her kids — one that's quietly reshaped how she approaches gratitude, leadership, and growth.Each night before bed, she asks them:“What was the best part of your day?”Sometimes the answers come easily. Other times, she has to pull a little, dig deeper, and remind them — and herself — that gratitude is a practice, not a mood. It's how we learn to look for light even on the hard days.Emylee reflects on how this small act of reflection has grown into a larger philosophy at Pharos: to lead with light, to find joy in the process, and to systemize positivity in a world that constantly demands more.✨ Try it tonight: Ask yourself — what was the best part of my day?

Most of us default to one style of “help,” even when another would serve better. In this PAC Talk, we break down the difference between Push, Pull, and Hold—and give you a quick self-check to pick what you need today.Push = pressure + accountability to raise your ceiling (targets, deadlines, coaching cues).Pull = inspiration + vision that draws you forward (community energy, role models, events).Hold = support + steadiness so you can regulate and recover (boundaries, rest, presence).We'll map common training/life scenarios to each mode, plus a 60-second quiz to decide your next move. Right help, right time.

CONTINUED Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples. Klavan, a former atheist, was propelled to faith by pondering evil, suggesting that recognizing objective moral order is necessary to condemn acts like those of the Marquis de Sade. The book examines Leopold and Loeb, who murdered to prove their superiority and live beyond good and evil, but left a crucial clue, highlighting their human fallibility. Klavan also considers Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, whose rationalized yet pointless murder leads to a breakdown of his self-deception. Klavan argues artistic creation, like Michelangelo's Pietà, can redeem or transform the subject of art.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE  9-5 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Las Vegas as the Strip struggles with decline. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Jeff Bliss, Las Vegas Tourism Decline and Anaheim Development Jeff Bliss reports a significant decline in Las Vegas tourism, with a 12% drop in visitors, which he attributes to the city's nickel and diming practices by major corporations like MGM and Caesar's Palace, coupled with the rise of online gambling. Despite increased gaming revenue, the broader city economy, including restaurants and hotels not part of the strip, is suffering. Vegas resorts are now offering discounts and food credits to attract visitors. Nevada's unique lack of a state lottery, forcing residents to cross state lines for games like Powerball, also highlights a peculiar disadvantage. In Anaheim, a proposed skyway/gondola system aims to connect Disneyland, hotels, and sports venues. 915-930 Brandon Weichert, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Economic Impact Brandon Weichert and John Batchelor discuss artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with Weichert expressing optimism for AI's long-term economic benefits, though he finds a 7% GDP growth projection very optimistic. He believes AI will augment, not replace, human work, leading to positive productivity gains over time, especially in manufacturing and tech sectors. The conversation touches on AI's current competitiveness in generating novel research hypotheses, nearly matching humans in a Science magazine study, but humans still slightly lead in designing experiments. Weichertsees quantum computing as the next breakthrough 930-945  Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University Funding Professor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power. First, he analyzes Judge Charles Brier's ruling that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in Southern California was partially illegal, citing the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. Epstein distinguishes between protecting federal interests and overstepping into local policing, as with traffic violations or raids far from Los Angeles. He criticizes the political polarization between Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom for hindering cooperation during emergencies. Second, Epstein addresses Judge Allison Burroughs' interim decision against Trump's freezing of Harvard's research funds over anti-Semitism allegations, warning of long-term damage to US medical research. 945-1000 CONTINUED Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University FundingProfessor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Bradley Bowman, Chinese Military Parade and US Security Bradley Bowman discusses a recent massive Chinese military parade, noting the presence of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un, with the president of Iran also in attendance. He views the parade as a demonstration of China's decades-long effort to build a military capable of defeating the US in the Pacific, highlighting the erosion of American security and increased likelihood of a Taiwan Strait conflict. Specific concerns include modernized hypersonic YJ seriesanti-ship missiles challenging US naval interception, the DF61 intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at the US, and a low-observable tailless drone for manned fighters.1015-1030 Conrad Black, Canadian Politics, Mr. Carney's Government, and Regional Challenges Conrad Black discusses the challenges facing Mr. Carney's new Canadian government, particularly the unrest in Alberta. Carney's extreme green views threaten Alberta's oil and ranching economy, leading to a significant separatist movement that could see the province join the United States if its energy exports aren't facilitated. Black notes that Carney has yet to reveal his plans to address this or the historical cultural and political challenges posed by Quebec, a wealthy province with aspirations for independence. Carney has been robust on national security, agreeing with President Trump that Canada needs increased defense spending.1030-1045 Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals.1045-1100 CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses Angelica Schuyler Church (1755-1814), a prominent figure during the American Revolution. Born to the influential Schuyler family in Albany, Angelica was well-educated, a trait uncommon for women of her time but typical for Dutch families. She eloped with John Carter (later John Barker Church), much to her family's dismay, a decision perhaps driven by love for the cosmopolitan Englishman. Angelica was deeply involved in the revolutionary cause, supporting the French army and maintaining a strong patriotic identity even while living in London after the war. She cultivated extensive connections with key figures like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette .1115-1130 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution 1130-1145 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses 1145-1200 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer . FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Henry Sokolski, Plutonium, Nuclear Proliferation, and International Debate Henry Sokolski discusses the global debate surrounding plutonium, a highly poisonous substance used in nuclear weapons, especially by China, South Korea, and Britain. He explains that plutonium can be extracted from nuclear power reactors and quickly used to make a bomb, similar to the Nagasaki weapon. Sokolski criticizes the US Energy Department for suggesting that new reactor designs like Natrium and Ollo can extract plutonium while leaving enough radionuclides to prevent bomb-making, a claim previously debunked by studies. He highlights proliferation risks, citing South Korea's historical attempts to use civil reprocessing to acquire nuclear weapons.1215-1230 Jack Burnham, Manhattan Project Lessons for AI and US-China Talent Competition Jack Burnham explains that China views the Manhattan Project as a key lesson in harnessing international talent for national strategic goals, particularly in artificial intelligence. The US successfully recruited theoretical physicists fleeing Nazi Germany, nurturing a scientific reserve for the atomic bomb project. Burnham notes that after World War II, the US continued to prioritize basic science funding, leading to its technological edge. However, he suggests the US is currently struggling with this, as funding issues and regulatory uncertainty are driving American scientists abroad and limiting foreign talent attraction while countries like China, the EU, France, and Canada actively recruit US scientists.1230-1245 Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples.
