Step onto the faded red carpet and into the world of aging Hollywood glamour as The Shabby Detective takes on "Forgotten Lady", one of Columbo's most poignant mysteries. In this episode, we unravel the tragic tale of fading movie star Grace Wheeler (Janet Leigh), who dreams of a comeback but finds herself tangled in a web of murder and memory.With Peter Falk's rumpled lieutenant navigating a case where sympathy and suspicion go hand in hand, we dissect the episode's emotional depth, the heartbreaking performance of Sam Jaffe, and the delicate balance of justice and mercy. Plus, we take a closer look at Columbo's softer side—does the good lieutenant let sentiment cloud his sharp detective instincts?

Northvolt's ambition was to become a European batterymaker to rival Chinese battery behemoths like CATL and BYD. They wanted to offer a homegrown supply chain to western automakers. But in November, the company announced its bankruptcy. So what went wrong? In this episode, Shayle talks to Sam Jaffe, principal at 1019 Technologies. They walk through Northvolt's timeline from founding to bankruptcy, including the loss of a $2B deal with BMW. They discuss lessons learned and cover topics like:  What went well — from fundraising billions of dollars to securing major off-takers What didn't go well — like trying to build multiple types of batteries, in multiple factories, on multiple continents How venture capital investors may have pushed the company to be too ambitious The tradeoffs of choosing NMC over LFP Challenges with their equipment supplier Wuxi LEAD The upside: Sam's belief that Northvolt's factory will ultimately make batteries Recommended resources Latitude Media: What Northvolt's bankruptcy means for Europe's battery ambitions Intercalation: Battery production is genuinely difficult Bloomberg: Northvolt Has Major Obstacles Ahead Even With Bailout In Reach Catalyst is brought to you by EnergyHub.

Welcome to the Jungle...We've got fun and games. Well, what we have is the 49th episode of Scene Stealers. We are talking about John Huston's 1950 film The Asphalt Jungle. For The Vault, Leo is throwing jabs and talking about Rocky III. Charles has a fresh jewel from The Vault, the highly acclaimed film about the Von Erich wrestling family- The Iron Claw. The main event is The Asphalt Jungle, featuring an all-star cast of actors, Sterling Hayden, Jean Hagen, James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe, and the legendary Marilyn Monroe. It begins as what should be an easy jewel heist but as we've seen before...One way or another, we all work for our vice. Give a listen: 

The U.S. Treasury proposed guidance last Friday that would significantly restrict what battery parts and materials can qualify for incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act. The rules label China and several other countries as “foreign entities of concern.” These rules will prevent materials and parts sourced from those countries, starting in the next few years, from counting toward the IRA's electric vehicle tax credits. The new rules are meant to push battery companies to develop supply chains outside the control of Chinese officials and companies, which control much of the world's battery industry. They come following a first batch of guidance released this year by the Treasury, which the IRA tasked with developing specific rules for implementing the law. So what does the new guidance mean for battery supply chains? This episode features two conversations with Sam Jaffe, senior director of business development at Addionics. The first is a short update on last week's proposed rules. The second is a longer conversation Shayle had with Sam in April about the first batch of rules, which focused on which battery ingredients count as “constituent materials” under the IRA. Both discussions are relevant to understanding what's happening now. In this update they cover topics like: Defining what counts as a material controlled by a foreign entity of concern, such as percentage ownership in a joint venture Key loopholes in law, such as licensing arrangements and small percentages of low-value materials, like cathode binder and electrolyte salts  The parts of the supply chain most significantly affected by the rule, such as Chinese graphite, Indonesian nickel, and Congolese cobalt Upcoming deadlines in 2025 and 2026, and whether onshored or friend-shored facilities can begin supplying materials before then Recommended Resources: Canary: The US EV industry now faces a choice: Tax credits or Chinese batteries Heatmap: It's Suddenly a Mystery Which EVs Will Qualify for a Tax Credit in 2024 If you want more news and analysis like this in your inbox, subscribe to Latitude Media's newsletter and Canary Media's newsletter.

Wilbur Whateley wants the Necronomicon, and although the library's closing, local coed Nancy is so entranced by Whateley that she's inclined to let him read it.  Her professor, Dr. Armitage, isn't thrilled with the idea of someone borrowing the book – even for five minutes – until he realizes who the reader is.  Eager to find out more about Wilbur, and his family history of seeking out transdimensional creatures, he invites Wilbur and Nancy to dinner.  But Wilbur's not interested in becoming one of Armitage's biographical sketches – he wants Nancy to come back to his home, drink some tea, and… stay there forever.  That's when his grandfather, Old Man Whateley arrives, causing Nancy to raise an eyebrow.  Why is he so determined to keep her away from the house?  What on the upper floors is making all those wind and ocean sounds?  And why is Wilbur so desperate to introduce Nancy to the Devil's Hopyard, a stone altar where, it is rumored, his ancestors once performed sacred rituals to call forth a race of creatures that would bring about the end of life as we know it?  Intro, Math Club, Debate Society, Hot for Teacher (spoiler-free): 00:00-27:20Honor Roll and Detention (spoiler-heavy): 27:21-1:07:56Superlatives (spoiler-heavier): 1:07:57-1:24:26 Director Daniel HallerScreenplay Curtis Hanson, Henry Rosenbaum, and Ronald Silkosky, based on the novella by H.P.

If there were a holy grail of electric vehicle batteries, it would be low-weight, long-range, and fast-charging. It would last a million miles and cost less than anything produced today. So in the booming EV battery market, what kind of battery will check all those boxes? Who will invent it? And do we really need all those features in one battery in the first place? In this episode, Shayle talks to Sam Jaffe, vice president of battery solutions at E-Source. They trace the history of the two major competing lithium-ion chemistries: Lithium Iron (or ferrous) Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC). Sam and Shayle also discuss the factors that shaped this competition, like China, Tesla, and access to capital. They discuss new partnerships between battery manufacturers and automakers, including LG and GM, Samsung SDI and Stellantis, ACC and Mercedes And they cover questions like: Who decides which chemistries to develop — automakers or battery part manufacturers?  Will a small number of chemistries dominate or will there be a rapid diversification of battery chemistries to meet different needs? Is fast charging a nice-to-have or need-to-have? Will the rising costs of battery materials, especially lithium, slow the adoption of EVs?  Plus, Sam explains why he is no longer bearish on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging.

The battery manufacturing announcements have been coming one after another—a VW cathode facility in Canada; a Tesla factory in Mexico; a Ford battery plant in Michigan. These companies hope to take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act's lucrative EV tax credits: Up to $3,750 for strategic minerals mined in the U.S. or its many free trade partner countries Up to $3,750 for battery components produced only in the U.S., Mexico, or Canada. But there's a catch. A whole bunch of intermediate battery products don't fit neatly into either bucket. For example, lithium gets processed into precursor cathode active material before it becomes cathode active material, the powder that actually makes it onto the factory floor of a battery manufacturer. Battery electrolytes go through multiple processing steps, too. Until last week, suppliers of these products were left wondering: Where should we manufacture to qualify? And for which credit? Congress had left these details up to the Treasury Department, and on Friday regulators released guidance for these intermediate products, or “constituent materials.” The new rules pleased some and angered others. So what do the changes mean for EV supply chains?  In this episode, Shayle talks to Sam Jaffe, our resident EV-supply-chain whisperer. He's the vice president of Battery Storage Solutions at E Source. He's come on the show before to talk about the holy grail of batteries and the basics of the IRA's EV tax credits.  This time, Sam explains the new Treasury guidance.They cover topics like: Incentivizing domestic manufacturing while also giving auto companies the flexibility to qualify for credits Why Joe Manchin and European countries are upset about the new rules Japan's last-minute free trade agreement before the rules came out How hard it will be for EV manufacturers to get qualifying constituent materials anytime soon, especially as they launch new mass market models What we still don't know about how the Treasury will implement the IRA, including which countries or companies will qualify as “foreign entities of concern” Recommended Resources: U.S. Treasury: Anticipated Direction of Forthcoming Proposed Guidance on Critical Mineral and Battery Component Value Calculations for the New Clean Vehicle Credit The New York Times: New Rules Will Make Many Electric Cars Ineligible for Tax Credits Politico: Bitter friends: Inside the summit aiming to heal EU-US trade rift Catalyst is a co-production of Post Script Media and Canary Media.

Sign up here for a night of live audio and networking with top voices in climate journalism.  Depending on which headlines you read, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will either hurt U.S. electric vehicle sales by replacing existing tax credits with complicated new ones or build out a North American battery supply chain and rev up EV sales. So which is it? In this episode, Shayle talks to Sam Jaffe, vice president of battery solutions at E-Source, about the key provisions of the IRA's EV and battery tax credits. Sam explains how the IRA will spur a North American EV battery supply chain in the long run but will also create winners and losers along the way.  There's a $30 billion pot of money for various tax credits and limited time to make use of them. Who will get to it first? There are already some early movers. Sam explains the key provisions: The EV components tax credit reduces the cost of EVs whose batteries contain materials assembled in the U.S. or its free-trade partner countries. This includes electrodes, electrolyte components and cells.  The strategic minerals tax credit reduces the cost of EVs whose batteries contain minerals mined and processed in the U.S. or its free-trade partner countries. These minerals include lithium, cobalt, and rare earth metals, among others. The 45X advanced manufacturing production credit reduces the cost of making batteries in the U.S. Certain credits ratchet up the percentage of materials required to qualify over several years. So once an EV model qualifies, it will have to maintain eligibility by getting a larger and larger share of its components and minerals from approved countries. They also cover which part of the battery industry will benefit more– the EV battery side or the stationary storage side. And Sam explains why he's paying attention to the Treasury Department's forthcoming guidance on the tax credits.

Tesla has announced that Battery Day 2020 will happen September 22, and rumors of a "million mile battery" have dominated headlines.But what exactly does a"million mile" battery mean? The Minerals Manhattan Project catches up with Sam Jaffe, Managing Partner of Cairn ERA to understand what Tesla's announcements mean for the battery industry.Tesla's announcements matter for the entire battery ecosystem, who will be judged against where Tesla is. Sam breaks down what $ per kwh means as a metric for battery costs, and why the magic US $100/kwh as a parity point with ICE vehicles is an oversimplification.We discuss vertical integration vs. specialization, with Sam predicting that EV companies will not become fully integrated battery makers.Sam shares what he sees as the most important technology developments within the battery (thicker electrodes), and what pack design is doing to improve energy density (cell-to-pack). We get into cathode chemistries and costs of raw materials, including the LFP vs high nickel debate.If you want more Sam, you can follow him on twitter or check out his website:@SamJaffe

Curly-haired character actor Sam Jaffe lent a memorable presence to everything from film noir (The Asphalt Jungle) to classic sci-fi (The Day the Earth Stood Still) to Disney musicals (Bedknobs & Broomsticks). The engineer and math teacher turned actor made only one visit to Suspense - an outstanding adaptation of Dorothy Sayers' "Suspicion" (originally aired on CBS on April 3, 1948).

Dr. Debra Diamond – Diary of a Death Doula: 25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the AfterlifeAired Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTIn the early 1960’s, one of the popular television shows was “Ben Casey”. Set in a hospital, the show would begin with actor Sam Jaffe’s character, Dr. Zorba, drawing traditional symbols on a black board and calling out their names, “Man, woman, birth, death, infinity.” In the west, when most of us are born, we are welcomed into the world with warmth, love and happiness. When it comes time for us to leave this world, we are most often surrounded with sadness, tears and fear.Is there a way we can make the experience of death like an experience of birth? What lessons may we learn from transition that will change our perspective on death? Who may we turn to for the same loving care, comfort and security that we received entering this world as we do leaving it?My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Dr. Debra Diamond, went from a high powered and successful Wall Street money manager to Death Doula through a series of remarkable experiences.Following a high-profile career as a Wall Street Money Manager, Debra began her journey to a life of purpose and spirituality. She loves to assist people through Spirit and provide assistance, comfort and guidance through readings, consultations, her books and speaking engagements. She is a natural psychic/medium and medical intuitive who was gifted with her abilities as a child. She provides remarkable insights for her clients to assist in healing, expansion and transition.Debra is the author of Life After Near Death: Miraculous Stories of Healing and Transformation in the Extraordinary Life of People With Newfound Powers.

“Klaatu barada nikto!” En 1951 el mundo convulsionaba en un contexto histórico con los Estados Unidos como epicentro. En plena guerra de Corea, con los primeros síntomas de la guerra fría, la carrera armamentística en la línea de salida y el Comunismo como máximo enemigo. Apenas cinco años después de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, las dos superpotencias se afanaban en construir más y más armas letales. El odioso Senador Joseph Raymond McCarthy empezaba su vergonzante caza de brujas contra la industria de Hollywood, hasta aquel momento, un oasis de talentos y mentes libres. La energía atómica era algo nuevo e inquietante en los 50. En ese caldo de cultivo la Ciencia Ficción de Serie B paría películas panfletarias con alienígenas invasores y destructivos. Robert Wise consigue que Ultimátum a la Tierra sea una película humanista, revistiendo a la Ciencia Ficción de honorabilidad, de respeto. La película capta exactamente qué tipo de sociedad había en los años 50, sentimos ese clima de paranoia y represión, pero con un mensaje conciliador, totalmente disonante. The Day the Earth Stood Still contiene un potente mensaje pacifista, de entendimiento; una crítica soterrada contra los ejércitos, contra el género humano, y sobre todo, contra sus dirigentes, sus gobiernos… Robert Wise desarrolla un gran guión de Edmund H. North, para contar la llegada a nuestro planeta de Klaatu y Gort, un humanoide que viene a dar la ultima oportunidad a la tierra y una autómata capaz de destruir todo ante la menor agresión… Ultimátum a la tierra se ha convertido en un test de Rorschach, contiene múltiples interpretaciones y visiones del mundo, todas reales, todas vigentes. Nuestros gobiernos actuales no distan mucho del retrato que nos plantea Wise, la humanidad tampoco, un clásico imprescindible de la ciencia ficción que ha influenciado todo el cine que ha venido después,. Un referente en múltiples aspectos, desde el estilo sosegado y reflexivo de Wise a esa extraordinaria banda sonora de Bernard Herman, una partitura pionera, usando ese curioso y extravagante instrumento musical electrónico llamado Theremin, bautizado originalmente como “Eterofono” que ya será para siempre el sonido y la atmósfera de la Ciencia Ficción. Un gran reparto con el desconocido Michael Rennie encarnando a Klaatu, una clara alegoría cristiana con este Sr. Carpenter que sufre las mismas penalidades que Jesucristo, con el cual comparte misión y enseñanzas. La protagonista femenina es la gran Helen Benson, perfecta como esa mujer fuerte y decidida que cría a su hijo sola, y comprende la importancia del mensaje de Klaatu. El chico, Billy Gray es otro gran acierto de la película, con momentos de inocencia e intimidad grandiosos con el hombre del espacio; o ese profesor con aires de Einstein , interpretado por Sam Jaffe. Para la historia del cine queda la figura de Gort, el imponente robot con el poder de decidir sobre la vida y la muerte. Una autentica obra maestra que nos obliga a reflexionar constantemente sobre la humanidad, capaz de lo mejor y lo terrible…..al tiempo. Esta noche hacemos señales lumínicas a Gort desde la Torre de Radiopolis, Jose Miguel Moreno, Raúl Gallego, Zacarías Cotán, Elio Cubiles y Gervi Navio. Gervasio Navío Flores

One of our favorite movies, “The Day The Earth Stood Still” tells a cautionary tale in a time of the Cold War and rapidly advancing technology.  Expertly directed by Robert Wise and starring the perfectly cast Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlow, Sam Jaffe and Billy Gray, this is a film with multiple layers of meaning and nuance. It’s a straight-forward sci-fi tale with a flying saucer, a superior alien race, and an invulnerable all powerful robot. It’s also a tale of the possibility of humankind's redemption in the face of a higher power. Or is it a tale of the origin of the human race on Earth. Or is it… well, you’ll see. There’s so much to discuss in this film. And let’s not forget the music, in what may be Bernard Herrmann’s best score, but which certainly is one of his best, he utilizes two Theramins for the first time in film and the score sets a standard for sci-fi scores that will be followed for decades after. We’re considering a Bernard Herrmann festival. So keep your eye out for that soon.  We truly love this film and hopefully that comes through in the show. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by Kevin from the Junk Food Dinner podcast and we review the previously lost film 'Nothing Lasts Forever' from 1984! Produced by Lorne Michaels, starring Zach Galligan (star of Gremlins), Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Mort Sahl, Sam Jaffe, and Bud Melman (!!!), amongst others. This beautifully intelligent comedy must be seen to be believed. Yet, it never had ANY official theatrical or home media release EVER! It blew our fucking minds. True to form, as we covered a LOST movie, we *almost* had a LOST episode [fucking computer problems :( ], but the Compañeros prevailed! Also: Catch and Release, Fun Film Fact, Songs On Trial, What Movie is This?, James Best has ANOTHER T-Shirt Giveaway, and so much more! Leave us a 5 star review on iTunes and we'll read it on the show! or leave us a voicemail at (724) 2GO-GO69 and we'll play it! Our Pages: Facebook! Twitter! Instagram! Spotify!

Twentieth Century Fox released The Barbarian and the Geisha to theaters on September 30, 1958. John Huston directs the film which stars John Wayne, Eiko Ando, and Sam Jaffe. The post The Barbarian and the Geisha (1958) appeared first on Movie House Memories.

Essentially a buddy movie, maybe one of the first of this genre, three fellow soldiers and best friends played by Cary Grant, Victor McLagen and Douglas Fairbanks have a series of adventures in northern India (aka Lone Pine, California). There’s a darker undertone to the film that rears itself in a few scenes covering the occupation of India by the British. Filmed on location with a huge crew of over 900 people, this is definitely a big budget spectacle film. We enjoyed it and Bob relates some of his time in Lone Pine to the film. Directed by George Stevens and also starring Sam Jaffe and Joan Fontaine, Gunga Din is a fun and at times thought provoking film. So sit back and prepare to be magically transported to the Khyber Pass as the British army fends off the “invading” forces of the Thuggee cult.

One of the best and most well-known sci-fi in the benevolent alien's group. Directed by Robert Wise, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), is a movie that Many people quote from, not really knowing the origins. Starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, Hugh Marlowe, and Sam Jaffe. SPREAD THE WORD! If you enjoyed this episode head on over to iTunes and kindly leave us a rating, a review, and subscribe!

What can we learn when we place our modern scientific knowledge in a historical context? In this new type of segment, we explore speciation research. Who was Henry Walter Bates and what role have he and butterflies played in our knowledge of species? What can genetics tell us about species? Featuring The Caterpillar Lab's Sam Jaffe, biographer Anthony Crawforth, and geneticist James Mallet.

This time around it's film noir versus movie mashup with my first viewing of the classic 1950 noir caper thriller The Asphalt Jungle starring Sterling Hayden, Sam Jaffe and Jean Hagen, then we go to one of the first movie mashups in history, Joe Dante's 1968 compilation Movie Orgy which combines old science fiction movies from the 1950s with cartoons, TV shows, political footage and PSAs to create a meta-narrative about the 1960s.    Support the podcast via Patreon.

John Huston's entry into the stable of post-war films about desperate losers is this grimy, tough-as-mails crime drama which would seem much more at home at Warner Bros. than the high-falutin' MGM studio. Nevertheless, it is a great work, enlivened by brilliant portrayals from Sterling Hayden, Sam Jaffe, Marc Lawrence (particularly wonderful as the swarthy "Cobby"), Jean Hagen, James Whitmore, Louis Calhern and the blonde gal seen below--I wonder whatever became of her?

Gilbert and Frank catch up with one of their favorite comedic actors and one of the last surviving cast members of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," Marvin Kaplan, who's worked with pretty much everyone in his 70-year career, including Charlie Chaplin, Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable, Jack Lemmon, Paul Newman and Lon Chaney Jr. (to name a few). Also, Marvin praises Sam Jaffe, props up Broderick Crawford, remembers Zero Mostel and risks his life for Blake Edwards. PLUS: Fritz Feld! Strother Martin! Arnold Stang takes a fall! Stanley Kramer sacks Jackie Mason! And the return (once again) of Maria Ouspenskaya! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He was the scheming Uncle Junior in "The Sopranos" and Hyman Roth's coldblooded henchman Johnny Ola in "The Godfather Part II," but in real life, actor Dominic Chianese is a real mensch (or at least the Italian equivalent). Dominic joins Gilbert and Frank to talk about his early career struggles, his love of music, his days as a folk club emcee and working with legends Lee Strasberg, Sophia Loren, Sidney Lumet, and lifelong friend Al Pacino. Also, Dominic gets a break from George C. Scott, a card from Burt Reynolds and a backstage visit from Paul Newman. PLUS: Yip Harburg! Sam Jaffe! Dominic does Dickens! Gilbert does Durante!
