Live from Euroanaesthesia 2026 in Rotterdam, Kate Leslie and Andy Cumpstey speak with Laszlo Vutskits and Hugh Hemmings ahead of the "Hot Topics in General Anaesthesiology" lecture. Vutskits discusses reports of devastating neurologic outcomes after minor procedures in previously healthy patients, linked in a Spanish series to a shared mitochondrial DNA haplotype traced to Venezuela, including a rare ND4 complex I mutation; cybrid and fibroblast experiments showed clinically relevant sevoflurane rapidly suppresses oxidative phosphorylation but reversibly on washout, while propofol (tested without lipid) did not. Hemmings highlights the DAS 2026 airway management guidance advocating video laryngoscopy as first-line for routine and difficult intubation and emphasizes continuous oxygen delivery during intubation, prompting debate about skill retention and global feasibility. We reference this classic episode of TopMedTalk: https://topmedtalk.libsyn.com/-sunday-special-should-direct-laryngoscopy-be-consigned-to-the-history-books -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

Het OM heeft drie arrestaties gedaan naar aanleiding van een onderzoek naar terrorisme. In Alkmaar, Eindhoven en Rotterdam zijn drie jonge terreurverdachten van hun bed gelicht. Er wordt daarmee gelijk een link gelegd met de Pride in Amsterdam, wat aanstaande zaterdag plaatsvindt, en de aanslag in Berlijn van een paar dagen geleden. "Is er een connectie? Daar probeer je duiding aan te geven", stelt Bas van Sluis, onderzoeksjournalist bij Dagblad van het Noorden. Tot nu toe gaat het om speculatie, aangezien er nog niet genoeg bekend is over de zaken in Nederland. "Het OM geeft nu aan dat die twee dingen niet met elkaar te linken zijn, maar het is een opvallend moment." Volgens schrijver Haroon Ali is er een "behoefte" om het aan elkaar te linken, maar moeten we daar "waakzaam" voor zijn. "Er is al veel stigma en angst rondom de Islam. In de volksgeest gaat het al snel een eigen leven leiden, juist door dat stigma dat ze allemaal in hetzelfde complot zitten tegen het Westen." Aan tafel zitten Bas van Sluis, Sara Berkeljon en Spraakmaker Haroon Ali. 

How much runway does the world's energy market still have? Our Head of Commodity Research Martijn Rats joins our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets to explain what's causing pressure beyond renewed tensions in the Middle East.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley.Martijn Rats: And I'm Martijn Rats, Head of Commodity Research at Morgan Stanley.Andrew Sheets: Today – talking about the recent volatility and the direction ahead for oil.It's Wednesday, July 29th at 2pm in London.Martijn, it's great to talk to you again. We haven't talked for a little while on this program. But oil is once again back in the headlines and it's moving around.So maybe to just jump right into things, as you look at the lay of the land in global energy markets at the moment, what's been happening? What are you telling clients?Martijn Rats: Okay. Well, we've had a large amount of volatility, over the last couple of weeks. If you roll the clock back, sort of, to the beginning of June. In the beginning of June, it started to become clear that already some more oil was leaking out of the Strait of Hormuz than perhaps, many of us anticipated at the time.But that data has been confirmed since then. And then, of course, in the middle of June, we got the memorandum of understanding. And after that, roughly 100-150 million barrels a day or so that was behind the Strait of Hormuz got cleared. And that…Andrew Sheets: These were tankers that were stuck there during the conflict, all came out.Martijn Rats: Absolutely. Laden tankers that were there; had just basically turned into floating storage for a good couple of months. They all cleared out, and that actually created a bit of a glut, in the sense that all of a sudden, the refiners of this world had a lot of crude to absorb. And we saw many indications of physical looseness in the market, physical differentials, calendar spreads.All sorts of indicators pointed that physically there was a lot of oil, temporarily to be absorbed. And the spot price of Brent fell to $70. And that looked to be the new direction of travel. In principle, the world is not short of oil if you take the geopolitics out of it.So, for a while it, it looked bearish. But then a new set of disruptions came, and the military conflict restarted, and we've had 13 days of overnight bombing. And with that also the flow through the Strait of Hormuz diminished again. And we are back in the last, sort of, week, 10 days to very, very low levels. The same levels we had in March.The flow through the strait is not exactly zero. But it's sort of 2-3 million barrels a day, sort of, down 80 percent to 90 percent of what it was before the conflict. And with that, prices have rallied. But on top of that, last week it looked like the military activity could really scale up. And for a couple of days, the markets priced that in.But then we have other choke points to take into account now. Not only Hormuz, but the Bab el-Mandeb, the CPC terminal, the issues in global refining. Altogether, it's been a tremendously volatile period. So, we're on the whole leaning towards the constructive side because there are so many disruptions in the system. But it's a very hard one to call at the moment.Andrew Sheets: So Martijn, let's talk about those other disruptions besides just the Strait of Hormuz. Because yeah, it's not just the Strait of Hormuz anymore. We have issues in the Red Sea. You have ongoing issues with Russian energy infrastructure that's being attacked by Ukraine. Just what are these other factors that are out there? And how much do they matter relative to, you know, how many ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz?Martijn Rats: Yeah. They matter a lot, and you can see that expressed in the price of refined product more than the price of crude. If you look at the main global benchmark for the price of diesel, which is arguably the ICE gas-oil contract, which are diesel barges delivered in Rotterdam or in the wider ARA area, it's trading at about $1,200 a ton, which is sort of $150-$160 per barrel.That's where you see the tightness. And so out of the total end user price, the refiners are capturing more at the moment than the crude suppliers. But what end users pay is not $85 per barrel for Brent crude oil, it's $1,200 a ton for diesel. And that is a very high price. Now, that is a result effectively of four major issues that the oil market has to deal with.One of them is Hormuz, as just discussed. But then we come to these other three. And these other three are the Bab el-Mandeb, which is the strait on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula that provides entry and exit to the Red Sea. That strait has gained in importance because Saudi Arabia has been redirecting about 4 million barrels a day of crude oil supply that was previously exported via Hormuz. Now through the East-West Pipeline to a terminal near a city called Yanbu, from where it is loaded and mostly sails down south through the Bab el-Mandab to refineries in Asia.The Bab el-Mandab is a strait that is effectively controlled by the Houthis, which is an Iran-aligned group that controls much of Yemen. And already in [20]24, earlier in [20]25, they've been very effective, controlling tanker traffic through that strait. And in the last sort of week or so, they have said that they will no longer allow Saudi tankers to sail out. And also, that group has executed drone attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure near the Jazan refinery, near the Yanbu terminal, and overnight also the Abqaiq facility, which is a large oil processing plant.So, this whole Red Sea situation puts at risk something like an incremental 3.5 million barrels a day of crude.Then we've had to deal with issues at the CPC terminal, which is again, also a very large oil export terminal. About 1.5-2 million barrels a day of crude is exported from CPC, which is a terminal near the Russian city of Novorossiysk.Ukraine has been executing drone attacks on tankers that have been trying to load from the CPC terminal. Much of last week, the CPC terminal was out. Over the last 24 hours, a few tankers have loaded again, but it's very unreliable. It's on again, off again. It's a very disrupted flow. In and of itself, a single terminal loading 1.5-2 million barrels a day is very, very large. So, we care.And then the third issue that the oil market has been dealing with, and this also comes back to this issue about these refined product prices, is very severe tightness in the global refining system. That is an issue of some refineries can't export because they're behind the Strait of Hormuz again.So, you can say, "Well, isn't that; that's sort of the same problem?" But nevertheless, it expresses it somewhere else. It's partly a problem of, sort of, the Chinese refinery system running very low. But it's recently mostly been driven by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries. And by now, something like 60 percent of the Russian refining system is out.And with that, exports of refined products have declined very significantly. There's a gasoline export ban. There's a diesel export ban from Russia. Russia used to be a very large diesel exporter. That is now down to practically zero. And with that, refined product markets have rallied severely on top of the price of crude.Andrew Sheets: And I think that's interesting [be]cause when we think about the economic impact of oil, while, you know, the price of oil per barrel is often the most kind of visible marker that we have – it's often the refined product that we actually use. You know, a truck is running on diesel. It's not running on crude oil.And, you know, that cost of diesel, of jet fuel, of gasoline, you know, that is the thing that can often really affect business margins. And the ability to operate and move product around. So, I mean, just give a sense like how much have those diesel prices gone up? And how much further could they rise if you're operating, you know, a trucking company in Europe?Martijn Rats: Yeah. Look, when supply is inherently scarce, we often ask the question – what is the demand destruction price, right? If you can't supply the stuff quick enough, the physical oil market, be it crude or refined product, must balance.There are a finite number of molecules in the system, and we can store them for a bit. We can take them out of storage. But when you take storage into account, molecules can't disappear out of nowhere. And they can't create it out of nowhere either. So, the system must balance. And if you can't supply it quick enough, the only way to balance sometimes is through demand destruction.And then we ask the question, what is the price that effectively causes that to happen? And if you look historically, that is often expressed in crude, something like $140-$150 a barrel. We've seen that before. But those were occasions where refining was not an issue. And then crude needs to do the heavy lifting to drive prices higher.What we're having at the moment is that refined products need to do it. And so, from experience earlier in the year, back in 2022, some other occasions, the price that destroys diesel demand is probably in the order of $1,400 a ton. In the diesel market, we use tons rather than barrels for historical reasons. Just to make it easy.But it's about $1,400 a ton, which is about sort of, you know, like $180-$190 per barrel. That really stops diesel demand in its track. At the moment, we're $1,230-$1,240, that sort of level. And so, we are getting close. There is probably a little bit more to go, like another 5 percent, 10 percent, that sort of thing, before you really hit some exceptionally high levels.But the diesel price, I would argue, is doing exactly that. It's searching for this demand destruction price. It's just if you then take that sort of $160 diesel that we have at the moment, how much do the refiners get versus how much do the crude producers get?At the moment, the refiners are getting $65- $70 out of that, leaving comparatively little for the crude supplier. But the refined product price is the channel by which the economy is impacted and ultimately also by which demand is eroded.Andrew Sheets: When we're talking about demand destruction, we're talking about at what price does a trucking company not operate, does not drive as much, you know, does not, you know... We're talking about less activity. And inherently that is, I think a risk to growth. But especially risk to growth in Europe where the starting point for growth is already pretty weak.Martijn Rats: Yes. So, we are watching as much, how the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refiners are playing out as we are watching, sort of, the Strait of Hormuz.Andrew Sheets: Martijn, the last thing I wanted to talk to you about is, you know, we've been talking about the Iran conflict since late February. And, you know, we're sitting here in late July. And it's clear that, you know, there was a small normalization in flows as you talked about. But we're back to a place where those flows are nowhere near normal.And I think the question on everybody's mind is how much longer can this go on before there's a much larger shock to energy prices?Now, again, you've mentioned we're already seeing some of that shock to diesel, but, you know, a much bigger disruption. What's your current thinking on how much runway the energy system still has?Martijn Rats: Yeah. It's an excellent question, and it's turned out to be fiendishly hard to answer. My gut feel based on how the data is behaving, based on what we know from history: If this lasts another, sort of, month or two, three, then it's hard to argue that by then the buffers in the system will not have been completely exhausted.The reason why I think oil analysts have lost a degree of confidence in forecasting this accurately is that there's a lot of unexplained oil that does require some explanation. If you look at the cumulative amount of supply loss from the Middle East since the start of this conflict, easily over 1.5 billion barrels. 1.5 billion barrels in 150 days is an enormous amount.And yet, the inventory draws that we can find in observable data, they are at best a third of that, maybe 0.5 billion barrels. And so, there's another billion barrels where you say, "Yeah, we had that last year, but we don't have this this year.”How did we solve that billion-barrel problem? And you can say, "Well, we were a bit oversupplied going into it," and a few other things. But you, sort of, have to conclude, and I think this is also, you know, talking to clients and investors, other market participants. I think this is sort of collectively we're discovering this is that this system of, like, unobservable inventories has to be way bigger.That is either inventories like in the supply chain, inventories at customers end, or in countries where we generally just have very little data anyway, like in China. And so, the system has been behaving as if already in [20]24 and [20]25 actually, we were putting a lot of oil into these, in storages that are hard to observe – because in that period we had the opposite problem.We were forecasting large inventory builds, and we couldn't find them all. And now we're forecasting large draws, and we haven't been able to find them all. And so, the system has been behaving as this; the unobservable part of the inventories are way larger.And… But at some point, they also run out. But because they're hard to observe, we don't know when. And I would guess if we're getting towards the end of the summer by August-September, and we're still in this situation? Yeah, then we're going into the winter. Like, you know, German households objectively have little storage of heating oil.Andrew Sheets: Mm-hmm.Martijn Rats: And they need to be rebuilt. And there are a few examples where we do know what customers are doing with their inventories, and they point to a picture where, yeah, by the end of the summer, like, we're running on fumes. And so, look, this – we've been able to patch this up. But it can't go on forever.Andrew Sheets: Well, Martijn, always a pleasure to, to catch up with you and talk energy markets.Martijn Rats: Nice to talk to you.Andrew Sheets: And thank you for listening.

At the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, the young Italian vault specialist Tommaso Brugnami came within touching distance of the podium, finishing fourth in a world-class men's vault final. It was confirmation that one of gymnastics' brightest junior stars had arrived on the senior stage, capable of challenging the very best in the world.But success has never come as a surprise to those who have followed his journey.Brugnami's junior career was nothing short of extraordinary. He helped Italy capture the European Junior team title in 2022 before collecting three European junior gold medals in total. As his junior career reached its peak, he established himself as the world's premier young vaulter, becoming Junior World Champion on vault while also claiming two individual European titles. It was a statement that Italy had another world-class gymnast ready to make the leap to the senior ranks.His rise mirrors that of Italian men's gymnastics itself.Once defined by the brilliance of individual legends such as Olympic champion Yuriy Chechi and Olympic horizontal bar champion Igor Cassina, Italy has transformed into one of the strongest and deepest men's programmes in the world. Years of investment, belief and emerging talent have elevated the Azzurri into consistent contenders on the biggest stages, with a new generation carrying the sport into an exciting era.Tommaso Brugnami is one of the leading faces of that generation.Now, the next chapter begins.His immediate focus is the Italian National Championships, where every routine offers another opportunity to prove he belongs among Italy's elite. Beyond that lies another chance to represent his country at this year's World Championships in Rotterdam—the first major milestone on the road towards qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.The Olympics are no longer a distant dream.They are just two years away.Every landing, every tenth of a point, every competition from now until 2028 carries greater significance than the last. The margins are small, but so too is the gap between fourth in the world and standing on a World Championship or Olympic podium.For Tommaso Brugnami, the foundations have already been laid through years of junior dominance and a breakthrough senior season. The talent is undeniable. The ambition is clear. The destination is within reach.The journey to Los Angeles starts now.And this is his story.

Responsible for some off-kilter belters on the likes of NRBK and HAYES, the Australian DJ and producer brings his fun-loving approach to our waves with a choice selection of versatile techno grooves and genre-busting edits of his own concoction. Tailored to lift spirits and bodies alike, his mix shall rejoice all lovers of the kind of unbothered musical cross-pollination and essential playfulness that misses from the more ascetic strains of techno orthodoxy. Bending genres, tempi and minds at once, this one goes particularly hard in its own idiosyncratically witty, debonair, killer way. 

Richard de Mos beleeft een van de grootste politieke comebacks sinds tijden. In 2019 werd hij van zijn bed gelicht vanwege een corruptieverdenking, in 2024 werd hij vrijwel volledig gesproken. En toen won hij in maart dit jaar met overmacht de verkiezingen in de stad Den Haag. De Mos is terug op de wethoudersstoel. Het vertrouwen van zijn kiezers is groot, de verwachtingen zijn hoog.Hoe gaat De Mos deze waarmaken, nu hij zijn beloofde asielstop op dag één heeft weggegeven? En hoe gaat hij na de corruptie-affaire netjes binnen de netjes lijntjes kleuren? Hoe zit het met de landelijke ambities van de ‘ombudspoliticus’? We bespreken het in de studio van het AD, in Rotterdam. Wil je meer weten over de aanloop naar de comeback én de corruptiezaak rond De Mos?

Global demand for protein has been rising for sixty years and shows no sign of stopping. But the way we're producing it is running into hard limits, environmental, ethical and economic, at exactly the moment that consumers have decided protein is the most important thing on the label.So where does that leave manufacturers, retailers and innovators trying to navigate a market that wants more protein, cheaper, more sustainably, and still delicious?In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our London Olympia event, three experts try to answer that question.They discuss overgrazing, marine over-exploitation, and the opportunity in novel proteins.They also talk about how constraints on animal protein are opening a window for plant-based innovation that the industry hasn't had before.And they discuss the future of soy protein, all with one thing front of mind - the products produced need to be attractive to consumers.If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

Der Hamburger Hafen ist für viele Gäste ein touristisches Highlight, für die Stadt aber vor allem das wirtschaftliche Herz - und für Tausende von Menschen ein Arbeitsplatz. Einer, der diesen Ort kennt wie kaum ein anderer, ist Daniel Jahn von der Hamburg Port Authority. Als Koordinator für Fachbesucher führt er Wissenschaftler, Unternehmer und offizielle Gäste durch den Hafen und erklärt Details, die man auf normalen Hafenrundfahrten nicht zu hören bekommt. Aufgezeichnet an einem heißen Sommertag auf dem Oberdeck der Rickmer Rickmers, spricht Daniel Jahn im Hafenkonzert-Podcast über die aktuellen Herausforderungen des Standorts: Warum Hamburg als Hafenstadt etwas Besonderes ist, wie die Landstromversorgung technisch funktioniert und warum sie auch für Containerschiffe immer wichtiger wird. Es geht um die Hafenbahn als Alleinstellungsmerkmal, um die schwierige Anbindung ans Deutsche-Bahn-Netz, um die A26 Ost, die gesperrte Freihafenelbbrücke und den geplanten Neubau der Köhlbrandbrücke. Außerdem berichtet Jahn über seine zweite Aufgabe: die zivil-militärische Zusammenarbeit und die Bundeswehrübung Redstorm. Alle Ausgaben des Hamburger Hafenkonzerts gibt es unter ndr.de/hafenkonzert, in der NDR Hamburg-App und bei ARD Sounds. Themen dieser Ausgabe (in Sendereihenfolge):

Join Jeroen van Rotterdam, Co-Founder and CEO of Foamlab, for a deep dive into the industrial transition from extracted synthetic foams to bio-fabricated materials grown by nature. Every year, millions of tons of fossil-based plastic foams are manufactured for packaging, insulation, textiles, and automotive components—materials that generate persistent microplastic pollution and are virtually impossible to recycle economically. Jeroen explains why sustainability shouldn't be a trade-off, how white biotechnology yields materials with mechanical properties superior to petrochemical plastics, and how AI-driven bio-process optimization is accelerating the transition from laboratory Petri dishes to pilot-plant production scale.

De bitcoinkoers staat op zo'n 65.700 dollar, omgerekend 57.900 euro, ruim 2 procent hoger dan vorige week. Tussendoor zakte de koers nog onder de 63.000 dollar, toen de oorlog met Iran weer oplaaide en de olieprijs richting de 90 dollar kroop. Toch zijn er kopers terug: de Amerikaanse bitcoin ETF's noteerden zes groene dagen op rij, goed voor ruim 900 miljoen dollar instroom. Groot nieuws is de val van Knaken, een Rotterdams cryptobedrijf dat sinds 2017 euro's omwisselde naar crypto. Eind mei ging het platform op zwart, en vorige week verklaarde de rechtbank Rotterdam het bedrijf failliet op verzoek van het Openbaar Ministerie. Volgens het OM ontbreekt er 7 miljoen euro aan klanttegoeden: het gaat om een faillissement, geen veroordeling, en er is niemand aangehouden. Knaken had geen vergunning van de AFM, terwijl Nederland met 28 vergunningen tot de Europese koplopers onder MiCAR behoort. De deadline van 1 juli werd niet gehaald, en de rechtbank wees een eigen verdeelplan af. Gedupeerden verenigden zich in het Knaken Collectief. In Amerika stapt Jack Mallers op als topman van Twenty One, het bitcoin treasurybedrijf met ruim 43.000 munten, na Strategy van Saylor de grootste voorraad. In april kondigde grootaandeelhouder Tether een driewegfusie aan met betaalbedrijf Strike en mijnbedrijf Elektron Energy, maar die gaat niet door: Strike blijft zelfstandig en Mallers vertrok afgelopen maandag. Opvolger Raphael Zagury wil zich richten op cashflow en kapitaaldiscipline. Het aandeel verloor dinsdag zo'n 15 procent, ruim 80 procent onder de piek van vorig jaar. Ook de Clarity Act, de Amerikaanse cryptowet, is in beweging. Het Witte Huis ging akkoord met een ethiekpakket, en woensdag publiceerden de Republikeinen een nieuwe wettekst van 616 pagina's: de president, hoge functionarissen, congresleden en rechters mogen geen crypto uitgeven zolang ze in functie zijn. De handhaving ligt bij het ministerie van Justitie, de bepaling vervalt in 2029, en kinderen vallen erbuiten, terwijl het cryptobedrijf van de familie Trump wordt gerund door zonen Don Jr. en Eric. Zeven Democratische senatoren zeggen dat de tekst tekortschiet. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Geale Simon Postma over de wonderlijke wereld van Solana.

What's the next Dubai chocolate? And more importantly, how do you know whether to back it before it's mainstream, or whether it will ever get there at all?The speed at which flavour trends now travel has fundamentally changed the job of everyone in NPD. What used to take decades can now arrive, peak and fade within a single season. Social media accelerates trends and creates consumer expectations about flavour before a product even hits the shelf.In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our London Olympia event, five flavour and innovation specialists debate what all of this means in practice. They unpack why flavour is still king, and why the days of designing something that appeals to everybody are effectively over. And they wrestle with the most loaded question in innovation: is the era of the perennial core flavour over, or will the industry always find new ones?If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

Zuerst die gute Nachricht: Die Sicherheitskonzepte wirken. Über große Häfen wie Hamburg, Antwerpen oder Rotterdam gelangt offenbar weniger Kokain nach Europa. Trotzdem wird in Deutschland immer mehr Kokain konsumiert. Expertinnen und Experten sprechen von einer regelrechten “Kokainschwemme”. Wie also kommt das ganze Kokain ins Land? In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt NDR-Investigativjournalist Benedikt Strunz, wie immer mehr Drogenschmuggler ihr Kokain via Speed-Boot über den Atlantik transportieren. Gemeinsam mit einem Team von NDR/ WDR und SZ und internationalen Kolleginnen und Kollegen hat er auch recherchiert, warum die europäischen Strafverfolgungsbehörden nicht hinterherkommen.

Cryptoplatform Knaken is failliet verklaard door de rechtbank in Rotterdam, na een verzoek van het Openbaar Ministerie. Volgens justitie is zeven miljoen euro van klantgeld verdwenen. De rechter stelde vast dat Knaken is opgehouden zijn klanten uit te betalen, dat klanten al langer dan een maand niet bij hun geld konden, en dat er te weinig geld over is om iedereen terug te betalen. Dat was voor de rechtbank reden genoeg om het bedrijf te sluiten. Wat er intern bij Knaken precies is misgegaan, is nog niet duidelijk. De FIOD en het OM zijn betrokken, dus dit speelt zich ook in de strafrechtelijke sfeer af. Zeven miljoen euro raakt niet zomaar kwijt door normale bedrijfsvoering. Klanttegoeden hadden apart moeten staan bij een stichting, afgeschermd van de reguliere bedrijfsactiviteiten. Daarnaast speelt er nog iets: Knaken had geen vergunning van de AFM, en zat daar al achttien maanden middenin. De officiële overgangstermijn in Nederland was zes maanden, waarna bedrijven zonder vergunning in een soort blessuretijd belandden. Bij Knaken duurde die blessuretijd uiteindelijk twaalf maanden. De AFM had wat mij betreft veel eerder kunnen concluderen dat Knaken kansloos was, en het bedrijf beheerst moeten sluiten. Uiteindelijk deed de AFM zelf aangifte, maar dat gebeurde pas laat. Knaken zelf vindt het faillissement niet de beste oplossing. Het bedrijf stelde voor de beschikbare tegoeden zelf te verdelen onder de klanten, maar de rechter geloofde niet dat Knaken dat op eigen houtje kon afwikkelen. Een curator gaat nu uitzoeken waar het geld is gebleven en wat er nog over is. Een deel kan mogelijk worden teruggevonden, maar het gaat hier ook om crypto: transacties kunnen in principe niet worden teruggedraaid. Zijn er daadwerkelijk strafbare feiten gepleegd, dan kan het geld ook gewoon weg zijn. De zaak is dus niet gesloten. De curator zoekt civiel verder uit hoeveel geld er is en wat daarvan terugkomt, en ook het strafrechtelijk onderzoek krijgt een vervolg. Tot op heden zijn er geen aanhoudingen verricht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York becomes the first US state to impose a moratorium on building large-scale data centres. The measure, announced by New York's Governor Kathy Horchul, applies to all centres using 50MW or more of power and will remain in force for a year. We hear what the moratorium might mean for business. The announcement comes hours after Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese announces tougher rules for companies wanting to build data centres there.Elsewhere, the removal of a border fence separating southern Spain from the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar puts an end to border controls that have been in place for 118 years. And our correspondent Anna Holligan looks at Europe's largest freight port in Rotterdam, which is under pressure to be greener.

Het verbod van staatssecretaris Willemijn Aerdts op de overname van DigiD-beheerder Solvinity door het Amerikaanse Kyndryl blijft overeind. Dat heeft de rechtbank in Rotterdam dinsdag bepaald. De rechter stelt dat het verbod ongedaan maken tot onomkeerbare gevolgen kan leiden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Aerdts verbood de overname van Solvinity door Kyndryl in mei omdat het te riskant zou zijn. Gegevens van Nederlandse burgers zouden namelijk ongezien door de Amerikaanse overheid opgevraagd en eventueel misbruikt kunnen worden als het bedrijf in Amerikaanse handen zou komen. Solvinity maakte samen met aandeelhouder Vitruvian Partners al bezwaar tegen dat besluit, maar wilde er via de rechter voor zorgen dat het niet geldig zou zijn tot de beslissing over het bezwaar van Aerdts bekend wordt. Volgens de staatssecretaris komt die beslissing in september.

In deze aflevering van De Interieur Club Zomergasten is interieurontwerper Lotte Faassen te gast. Lotte is zelfstandig ontwerper binnen Studio de Blieck, het bedrijf dat ze samen met haar moeder runt. Op haar negentiende begon ze in het vak, zonder formele opleiding. Inmiddels heeft ze bijna dertien jaar ervaring.Lotte staat bekend om haar voorliefde voor natuurlijke materialen, aardse tinten en organische vormen. Toch merkt ze dat haar smaak verschuift: de laatste tijd werkt ze steeds vaker aan klassieke woningen en leert ze elementen waarderen die ze eerder links liet liggen, zoals sierlijsten, klassiek marmer en zelfs het 'tuttige gordijntje'.In het gesprek met Michiel de Zeeuw vertelt Lotte openhartig over haar manier van werken. Ze beschrijft zichzelf als een gevoelsmens die snel aanvoelt wat een klant nodig heeft, soms beter dan de klant dat zelf kan verwoorden. Die intuïtie is volgens haar ook haar grootste kracht.Opvallend is haar eigen woonsituatie. Lotte woont op de vijftiende verdieping van een appartement in Rotterdam en heeft haar interieur bewust minimaal gehouden. Geen overbodige accessoires, wel warmte door de materialen. Alles is ontworpen rondom het uitzicht over de stad.Verder in deze aflevering: hoe ze inspiratie opslaat via haar telefoon (meer dan honderdduizend foto's), waarom ze vintage wil verkennen maar het nog niet standaard toepast, en hoe ze samen met leveranciers steeds vaker eigen meubelontwerpen ontwikkelt. Ze deelt haar waardering voor Kelly Wearstler en haar favoriete restaurantadres in Marbella.Tot slot geeft Lotte een helder advies aan collega's en interieurliefhebbers: stap af en toe uit de interieurbubbel, doe een digitale detox en blijf dicht bij je eigen creativiteit. Want authenticiteit, zegt ze, is uiteindelijk wat het verschil maakt.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/beach-house⁠License code: DYX0LKFIDFSLJK3G

Tess Martin is a Rotterdam-based film and visual artist working across animation, installation, and expanded cinema. Her practice explores how time, memory, and place can be revealed through handcrafted animations and site-specific works.Raised across shifting cultural contexts, her work reflects an ongoing interest in how belonging and identity are formed through perception, relation, and memory. Many of her projects exist simultaneously as films and installations, often incorporating sculptural elements and soundtracks to create intimate time-based experiences.Her work has been presented internationally in both film and exhibition contexts, including festivals, museums, and artist residencies across Europe, North America, and Asia.In this episode, we discuss Tess' film 1976: Search for Life.*Errata - I mistakenly identified Holst's Jupiter as the "Surprise" symphony when it's actually Haydn's Jupiter. Holst did write a Jupiter for "The Planets," but it isn't the same piece. Mozart also wrote a Jupiter, but it's not mentioned except here for clarity.

Portrait photographer Craig Fleming has spent decades navigating the space between film and digital, celebrity commissions and working-class subjects, polish and truth. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, Craig joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about his process, his philosophy, and two ongoing personal projects — Quiet Men and Circus — that are reshaping how he thinks about legacy and the purpose of his work. We get into what it really means to balance film and digital photography, why Craig thinks returning to medium format gave him integrity back as a photographer — and made him better at digital. We talk about his strong feelings on AI and what it's taking from photographers and creatives. Craig also shares what he believes is the single most important element of a great portrait — and it has nothing to do with your camera.

There are two stories here, their opposition is part of a theme.  Erasmus, the great Erasmus , Erasmus of Rotterdam was even more a product of the Devotio Moderna than was Luther.  Most of his young education was by the Brethren of the Common Life or their imitators.I am Groote.Last episode I called him a Satirist.  Of course he was much more than that.  You've heard of him, but are unlikely to have read any of his full length works, unless you are a specialist in the time.And yet he had great influence of his period, being perhaps the highest status intellectual of the period.   He was the writer of 1 in 3 books purchased during the 1530s.  And as he wrote Suleiman the Magnificent was first overcoming Hungary and then moved on to the Siege of Vienna.Erasmus wrote In Praise of Folly, which we discuss in the episode, while folly is being acted out in Hungary, to a tragic end.Hungary was well able to defend the West from the Ottoman during the days of Matthias Corvinus.  But on his death, short sighted magnates pursued a foolish policy, leading to their defeat.  After an absolutely heroic defense of Vienna, Suleiman was defeated, losing 20,000 men in the retreat.   Oddly enough, this is about the same number of boys and girls taken as slaves by the Ottomans on this campaign.  You want your civilization to be so powerful you do not have to suffer slavers.

In this episode, we sit down with Ross Jeffs — jumps and combined events lead coach at Aspire Academy in Qatar, and former sprints and hurdles coach with experience across the UK, Netherlands, and now the Middle East. Ross brings a deeply curious and evidence-informed approach to coaching, shaped in part by his own experiences as an athlete, working directly with coaches like Jonas Dodoo, and much more. This conversation gets into the weeds on athlete profiling, monitoring, injury prevention, and the technical nuances of the triple jump.Timestamped Topics0:00 – Introduction & Ross's coaching journey from Jersey to London to Rotterdam to Aspire Academy in Qatar3:30 – Categorizing athletes: concentric, elastic, and metabolic types across sprinting and the jumps7:14 – The metabolic athlete — backside mechanics, rhythm, and why front side cues can backfire for certain athletes12:19 – Can athletes shift along the continuum?

In this episode they cover why the name polycystic ovarian syndrome has been misleading from the start given that you do not need polycystic ovaries to have the condition and you can have polycystic ovaries without having the condition at all, what the Rotterdam criteria actually are and why having two of three features including irregular periods, elevated androgens, and polycystic ovarian morphology is enough for a diagnosis that covers a wide and sometimes contradictory range of presentations, why a group of international endocrinologists are pushing to rename the condition anovulatory androgen excess to center the diagnosis on the two features that actually matter clinically and remove the ovarian morphology criterion that causes the most confusion, what the four Rotterdam phenotypes look like and why phenotype D which has irregular periods and polycystic ovaries but no elevated androgens is the one the new criteria would exclude from the diagnosis entirely, why some patient advocates are pushing back on the rename out of concern that it erases a community identity that has been built around the PCOS name and what Spencer, Karl, and Dr. Brian think about that tension, how insulin resistance fits into the picture and why it is not part of the diagnostic criteria even though it is present in the majority of patients and drives most of the downstream metabolic risk, why metformin and GLP-1 medicines are doing a lot of heavy lifting for PCOS patients right now and how Dr. Brian approaches treatment decisions in clinical practice, what the data shows on inositol supplementation and why Dr. Brian has more time for it than she does for most supplements in this space, why the androgen piece is so frequently undertreated and how measuring free testosterone versus total testosterone changes what you see in the labs, how birth control fits into the treatment conversation and why it is both overused as a first line fix and genuinely useful when deployed correctly, and what women who have been told they have PCOS should actually be asking their doctor at their next appointment regardless of what the condition ends up being called.

In this episode of What is a Good Life, host Mark McCartney sits down with Lior Steinberg, a Rotterdam-based urban planner and co-founder of Humankind, a multidisciplinary team working toward urban happiness for all. Lior is also the author of the children's book The Car That Wanted to Be a Bike. Together they unpack why so many cities remain trapped in car-centric design decades after urbanist Jane Jacobs first warned against it.They talk about the "sidewalk ballet," how children's toys teach us to want cars, the surprising parallel between car culture and cigarette smoking, Barcelona's superblocks, and why trees are the best climate technology we already have. This is a thought-provoking conversation on how often change feels impossible until it is here.For more of Lior Steinberg's work:Humankind: https://www.humankind.city/Personal Website: https://steinberg.nu/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liorsteinberg/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@whatisagoodlife3875⁩

Two great personal documentarians grace the podcast: Ross McElwee (“Sherman’s March”) and Michel Negroponte (“I’m Dangerous With Love”). Long friends and colleagues, Ross and Michel come on to primarily discuss the sensitive subject matter behind Ross’ latest film, “Remake” The film begins a theatrical engagement at Film Forum in NYC on 7/10/2026. They are currently screening a 40th anniversary 4K restored print of his seminal “Sherman’s March”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Vph7D_TxY The death of his son causes McElwee, an autobiographical filmmaker, to look back on his life's work. He eventually turns to his archive of home movies — an afternoon trapping crayfish with his son Adrian, age 4; helping with homework, age 11; discussing career plans with his son, age 24. To what extent did his camera affect their relationship when Adrian was alive? To what extent does it define that relationship now that he is gone? Meanwhile, an effort to adapt McElwee's first feature, “Sherman's March”, into a work of fiction lurches along, giving the filmmaker another perspective from which to meditate on movie making and mortality. Ross McElwee is a documentary filmmaker from Charlotte, North Carolina currently living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. McElwee has made ten feature-length films. “Sherman's March” won Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and was chosen for preservation by the U.S Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2000 as a “historically significant American motion picture.” Bright Leaves premiered at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight. McElwee’s In Paraguay premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2008, and he returned to Venice in 2011 to premiere Photographic Memory. McElwee has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the American Film Institute. He has twice been awarded fellowships in filmmaking by the National Endowment for the Arts and production grants from the LEF foundation. McElwee received the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival's Career Award in 2007 and the Pennebaker Award for his career in 2023. In 2024, the French Ministry of Culture awarded McElwee the rank of Chevalier des Artes et des Lettres. McElwee was Professor of the Practice of Filmmaking in the Department of Art, Film and Visual Studies at Harvard beginning in 2003 until his retirement in 2024. He is now a Research Professor, Emeritus in the AFVS Department. About Michel Negroponte Michel Negroponte is an award winning filmmaker who has been making feature length documentaries for more than 30 years. He was born and raised in New York City, and studied filmmaking with Richard Leacock and Ed Pincus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s. In addition to making his own films, he has freelanced on countless films for HBO, PBS, the BBC, and Channel Four. He has also worked with independent filmmakers like Ross McElwee, Doug Block, Lisa Crafts, D.A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, Christine Choy, Dick Rogers, John Marshall and Al Maysles. His films include SPACE COAST (1979), RESIDENT EXILE (1981), SILVER VALLEY (1984), JUPITER’S WIFE (1994), NO ACCIDENT (1996), W.I.S.O.R. (2000), METHADONIA (2005) and I’M DANGEROUS WITH LOVE (2009). JUPITER’S WIFE, a portrait of a beguiling homeless woman named Maggie, won a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the prize for Best Feature Documentary at the Vancouver and the Santa Barbara Film Festivals. The film was also awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Documentary. Originally shot on small format video, it premiered on HBO/Cinemax before getting a nationwide 35mm theatrical release. Edward Guthmann of the San Francisco Chronicle called it one of the ten best films of the year. John Koch of the Boston Globe wrote, “Negroponte has a painter’s eye and a novelist’s reach; and if there is anything more engaging and satisfying than “Jupiter’s Wife” on television or at the movies these days, by all means tell me about it.” Negroponte’s films have been broadcast in the United States on PBS, HBO, and the Sundance Channel as well as in England, France, Germany, Spain, and Japan. His work has been shown at the Sundance Film Festival, The New York Film Festival, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and in festivals in Berlin, Rotterdam, Vancouver, and Japan. Negroponte has also taught in the graduate and undergraduate film programs at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and Temple University. Recently, he helped create a new graduate program in documentary filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, which opened in September, 2009. He is part of the faculty there as well.

In this episode of Strong Source, we're joined by Harold de Boer, mathematician and one of the founders of Transtrend, the Rotterdam-based systematic investment manager that grew out of commodity trading house Nidera in the late 1980s. Raised on a dairy farm, Harold takes us from his first encounter with futures markets, through the feed producers supplying his father's farm, to running one of the most diversified trend-following programs in the industry. Throughout the conversation, Harold goes against the stream with refreshingly different views on trading and markets, from why commodities are not an asset class to why being non-conformistic is a necessity in the Transtrend way of trading.
