Frederike van Oordt (15) from Lelystad makes her film debut

Frederike van Oordt (15) from Lelystad made her first film debut at the end of2020: Mascotte. The film will be released in theaters at the end of thismonth. After more than two years of waiting, the film is finally coming out.At one point we had waited so long that I thought nothing would come of it, sothe news surprised me. It will be my first premiere. I’m really lookingforward to it!’

Mascotte is about a 17-year-old boy, Jerry Driessen, who thinks that in hisworld where possessions and appearance rule the roost, there is little placefor him. His desires pile up and he finds support only with his mother Abbey.

Frederike plays Emine Driessen, Jerry’s sister. ‘She’s 14 years old and lovesfursuits. Those are cosplay outfits, or costumes. But with fur.’ DoesFrederike recognize herself in Emine’s character? Not really. “We live in verydifferent situations. I think I’d be good friends with her if she reallyexisted.’

Auditions

Frederike had her first audition in February 2020. She was 12 at the time. ‘Ididn’t expect much from it, because I often auditioned without results. Then Iwas invited for the second round and it went very well. After a few weeks myfather woke me up. He asked, “Do you want the part?” At the time I didn’t knowwhat role he meant. “The movie,” he replied. Of course I said yes. I evencried with joy.’

October was the first shooting day. ‘I found it very exciting, but the castand crew were very sweet, so I got used to it quickly. During the recordings Iwas allowed to play beautiful scenes and I was also allowed to do a fightscene. Not only do I have wonderful memories of shooting, but also of the castand crew. I am very grateful that I was given this opportunity.’

In the cinema

Frederike watched the film for the first time on December 13, 2021, togetherwith the cast and crew. ‘It was very impressive. The editors had changed a lotin the editing, so I was surprised what happened in the movie. The end resultis amazing and I can’t wait for the world to see this too. Of course it’sstill crazy to see yourself on a huge screen. But that also makes it a lot offun.’

The film will not only be shown in the Netherlands in the cinema. It can alsobe seen at the American Slamdance Film Festival on January 20. ‘Soon I can beseen in America, how cool is that? My dream really comes true.’

Proud parents

Frederike’s parents, Peter and Caroline, are very proud. ‘We always were, butshe managed to surprise us again. She has been taking up her space veryconfidently on stage for years. And to be the only minor on such a set? That’spretty clever.’

For Caroline and Peter, the most important thing was to have confidence in theproducer, director and child counselor. ‘Frederike was 13 when the recordingsstarted. The director was convinced that the cast only performs optimally whenthey feel safe and valued. Together with the director, the child counselorkept a close eye on whether everyone observed the rules on the set. Thatallowed Frederike to enjoy everything she experienced.’

Different kind of sport

Frederike was already familiar with musicals. For example, she played as an11-year-old in the musical Nooit Gedacht Land. A new version of the well-knownstory that RTL Telekids Musical School and RTL Talent Academy realized. TheLelystedelinge got hold of one of the children’s leading roles.

‘Film is a completely different kind of sport than musicals,’ explains hermother Caroline. ‘In the theatre, things have to go right the first time.Scenes can be executed in different ways for the camera, to choose the bestone later. That was very instructive for her and for us as parents.’

Caroline and Peter were also allowed to see the film. ‘We didn’t keep it dry.The story is quite intense and it made us quite emotional to see her in herrole.’

Premiere

Mascotte will premiere at the end of January or the beginning of February. Thefilm can then be seen in various cinemas in the Netherlands.

Everyone knows me as Caro Emerald, now I really show myself

Looking, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, intuition: our senses make uswho we are. This week: singer Caroline van der Leeuw (41). She rose to fame asCaro Emerald, but said goodbye to her alter ego. Her new album features a newname: The Jordan. “This is also a personal transformation.”

Rick PullensJanuary 6, 202322:25

FEELING (1) – I don’t want to hide myself

“Goodbye? For me this doesn’t feel like a goodbye, it’s not like I close thedoor completely for Caro Emerald. Distance is a better word. I’m not going tosay I’m never going to perform in that capacity again, you never know how thefuture will turn out, but I’m really just done with it.

I recently said in an interview, “I created a monster with Caro Emerald.” Bysaying that I really created a monster. A statement like that is big in thenewspaper, but takes everything out of context. Whoever reads that thinks: sheperformed as Caro Emerald for thirteen years and hated it all that time. Thatis not true. It was great fun, but there was also frustration.

Caro Emerald was a three-person project and a songwriter on top of that, buthe wasn’t part of the collective. I found the atmosphere of the songs,inspired by the forties and fifties, very cool. The nostalgia. I also hadsomething with the romantic lyrics, but it didn’t touch my personal lifeenough. I often found it too good. That made me a little tickled.

I can be very outspoken, but that side of me was not wanted, I had to hide alot of myself. Part was not there. While I wanted to show that. There was acontinuous battle. That was also abrasive during interviews and promos,because then I had to sell ‘the product Caro Emerald’. At a certain point, asan artist you become a brand, a brand that takes on a life of its own.

Caro Emerald and I grew apart very slowly. I have regularly thought: this isnot all I can do, I also want something different, something more in-depth,something where I can fully show myself. But really saying ‘I don’t like thisanymore’, I’m bad at that. That feeling was not allowed to be there for me fora long time. It is not really accepted that someone who is so successful says:I want to stop doing this.”

FEELING (2) – Starting over feels alone

“Pretty early, in the run-up to the second album, somewhere in 2012, I startedwriting songs myself, outside of the collective. I had never done that before.I was in a total high the first album was a great success, but I wanted todevelop further.

That writing became more and more serious. Songs came out that were very coolbut didn’t fit Caro Emerald at all. I knew: if I ever want to promote thismaterial I have to temporarily stop Caro Emerald, you don’t do two things atthe same time, that’s weird and clumsy. But I had a hard time saying, sorryguys, I don’t want to do those tours for a while.

And then came corona. Everything was automatically postponed. It became myescape. By now I had put my whole heart and soul into my new project.

But I had no management, no label, no publisher, nothing. Everything hadalways revolved around Caro Emerald, not around me as a separate person, as aseparate artist. I had to reinvent everything. A kind of free fall. I wantedto, but that was also difficult. Confronting. Because who are you without thatwhole device around you? If you haven’t even signed anywhere?

One day my heart sank, the next day I was combative and I thought: I can dothis, I just have to create good songs, myself, or together with someone.That’s how it went all the time. Fortunately, a big fire was burning in me, Ireally thought: this must be possible. I didn’t let the voices in my head fobme off, but sometimes I really didn’t know how or what. Then it was crying andI felt very, very small. I got plenty of pep talks, but it had to take placein my own head: who am I without Caro Emerald?”

HEAR – A new name, a new sound

“My new project is called The Jordan, a name that refers to the neighborhoodwhere I grew up: the Jordaan in Amsterdam. That’s where I started singing. Inprimary school, I had a solo in the final musical, afterwards everyone said:you have talent. The idea that I would become a singer was born there andnever left.

I took singing lessons with Jim Giloffo, group lessons: polyphonic, first withall kinds of dances, with those jazz hands, later it became thick closeharmony. Really spicy. That was quite decisive. It was good for my hearing,you have to sing very cleanly for it, a good run-up to the conservatory too,but it took me a long time to develop as a solo singer.

On the new album I show what I have to offer as a singer. There is more to mysound palette than I thought. I sing rocky, sometimes even bluesy. Some songsare almost whispering, I sing them very introverted. Friends said: is thisyou?

Yet it sounds authentic and convincing. I surprised myself. That’s the bestpart: that you’ve already seen the whole world, already had a mega career andcan still discover yourself. How cool is that?”

SMELL – The smell of food brings me home

“I feel that way with Antillean and Surinamese people instantly At home.It’s because of the smell of the food: it’s the smell of my childhood. Mymother is Antillean. She always cooked very well, I associate the smell offried onions with her. We sometimes ate soy sauce chicken or brown beans withrice at home, but she made Dutch pot just as well. I hated that. I myself alsolove to cook, it is one of my biggest hobbies next to singing.

I was raised very Dutch. My family does not have that typical Antillean, whichmany people imagine. For example, they have no accent at all, except for mygrandmother, who does speak with an accent, she is Surinamese. More than tenyears ago I went back to Aruba with my mother. She hadn’t been there sincechildhood. So special. It felt like coming home, even for me, even though Idon’t have any family there anymore.

When my parents were still together, we lived in a beautiful, large buildingon the Rozengracht. But after the divorce, there was little money. My mothercertainly didn’t have nothing, she just had a job, but we lived very small. Ihad a room that barely fit a bed. And we always ate kidney beans. That wascheap. With a Turkish salad and burgers from the offer. I hated it. But it wasalso a beautiful and warm time.

My mother played a lot of piano at home, at quite a high level, she would haveliked to go to the conservatory. She has always supported me in my desire tobecome a singer. I owe it incredibly to her that my career turned out thisway, to her unwavering belief that I was a very special child. She believed inme without any reservations. That made me believe in myself.”

INTUITION – Letting go is an art

“I hate to say it, but on stage I don’t dare to improvise. That’s why, despitemy training in jazz singing, I never felt like a real jazz singer. It has todo with control. When I know where I stand, I flourish. I just sing betterwhen I know what’s happening in the next bar.

When I write, I manage to let go of that control. I write very much from mysubconscious. While I make up a melody, words come out and I use them; a kindof scatting.

From all new songs arose The Room the most intuitive. That was reallybizarre. I sang without thinking, it was total improvisation. I didn’t knowwhat it was about and why. But it made me so emotional. I almost cried when Isang it. There is more in that vessel, I feel that very strongly.

That’s why I took this huge risk of quitting Caro Emerald and startingsomething new: I don’t want to let my fears hold me back anymore. They arethere, I have many. I can be very doom-mongering and I am easily afraid toscrew something up, to fall. But to get somewhere you sometimes have to dosomething that is not so cool.

I consciously taught myself to allow that: try something instead of having tobe able to do something right away. It’s so beautiful what kind of world opensup for you. So with this project I also break free from my own head. It isalso a personal transformation.”

LOOK – I show you who I am

“The big difference with Caro Emerald is that there is now a woman at the helmwho decides for herself and writes her own lyrics. The latter is a fundamentaldifference, because a man quickly puts a woman in a certain role in a text. Iwould like multiple roles. I also dare to be unkind in my new songs. A manwould think less of that. My female empowerment is a huge theme on the newalbum.

The songs, but also the clips and photos that I had taken with them, shouldgive the feeling that you can really see me now. In one of the clips I evenliterally expose myself: you see me together with a woman, naked, veryintimate and sensual. Eventually you’ll find out that’s just me – it’s aboutself-love, not sexuality: I’m not lesbian or bi.

For me, that clip is a bit uncomfortable to watch. The shame is in thenakedness, to show it publicly. That was exactly why I wanted to make thatclip. As a woman you always have to explain yourself: why are you naked? Whatdo you want to achieve with it? But naked can also be just beautiful. So Idon’t have to answer for that. That’s what that clip is about.

The public wants to know if this is what I am for years to come. To be honest,I have no idea. I’m not going to pin down. Ideas are changeable, just like awardrobe changes, so tomorrow could be different again. Either way, I hope Ican stay true to myself. That I stay close to myself. I suppose I can do thatbetter now, better than before, I went through this whole process for areason. This is meant to stay.”

Xavi: “Dimos un golpe en la mesa” | Deportes

La mala primera media hora del Atlético dio paso a un equipo que se corrigió ygeneró las suficientes ocasiones como para no haber perdido. Ese tramo departido fue explicado por Diego Pablo Simeone desde las dudas que apreció ensus jugadores. “Uno plantea el partido por igual desde el principio hasta elfinal, pero después hay un rival, hay un escenario, hay personalidad, un mejorentrar a un partido y las dudas. A nosotros nos apareció lo dubitativo, el noacertar con el pase tras la recuperación y no subir la intensidad en losduelos. Luego, cuando te tocan, saltas”, explicó el técnico rojiblanco. Sobrela reaction tras el gol, Simeone la razonó desde el golpe sufrido. “Entoncesempiezas a encontrar tu mejor versión. A ver si esa versión aparece desde elinicio en los próximos partidos”.

Simeone dejó un par de mensajes intrigantes en su intervención. “Tras el gollos cuerpos se sueltan y apareció lo que queremos. Después, se jugó un partidomuy bueno que deja cosas muy claras, muy claras, y me sirve a mí”. Larepetición del “muy claras” no se sabe si hacía referencia a una cuestióncolectiva o individual, aunque cuando fue preguntado por la actuación deBarrios, elogió al chico por su manera de entender el juego en equipo. “Tieneque aprender a jugar contra rivales superiores, este partido es el que más leva a servir para aprender. Es un chico que escucha. Busca lo que mejor le vaal equipo, no piensa en lo individual”, advirtió Simeone. La sombra de unrecado a João Félix es alargada.

“Cuando no comenzamos a perder el balón empiezas a jugar mejor y cambia lapelícula. Nuestros 70 minutos finals fueron los 20 primeros del Barcelona,​​lástima que nosotros no la metimos. Si me dicen antes del partido que losprimeros 20 minutos vamos a sufrir sin poder salir, y metidos atrás y luego 70muy buenos, lo compro. Pero lamentablemente el gol no apareció”, terminó porconluir el preparador argentino.

Jan Oblak también hizo referencia a lo mal que el Atlético arrancó el partido.“No sé por qué hemos entrado al partido con miedo. No es la primera vez quenos ha pasado y bastante a menudo en los últimos años. No tengo una respuesta,no la hay, si la tuviera no pasaría eso. Hay que pensar en como hemos jugadolos otros 70 minutos”, dijo el meta esloveno.

Prince Harry Says He Fled UK With Meghan, Archie ‘Fearing for Our Lives’

Prince Harry said Sunday night on British television that he “fled” his “homecountry” with wife Meghan Markle and son Archie “fearing for our lives,” atthe time of their so-called “Megxit.”

“It never needed to get to this point,” Harry said. “I’ve had conversations,I’ve written letters, I’ve written emails, and everything is just, no, you,this is not what’s happening. You, you are, you are imagining it. And that’sreally, that’s really hard to take. And if it had stopped, by the point that Ifled my home country with my wife and my son fearing for our lives, then maybethis would’ve turned out differently. It’s tough.”

Prince William ‘Burning,’ King Charles ‘Heartbroken’ On Prince Harry’s Memoir

However, Harry emphasized he is “100 per cent” sure there can bereconciliation between he and Meghan and the royal family—despite also callingthe royal family “abusers.”

Asked if he expected to reconcile having “taken a flamethrower” to rebuildingfamily bridges, Harry said: “Well they’ve shown absolutely no willingness toreconcile up until this point. And I’m not sure how honesty is burningbridges. You know, silence only allows the abuser to abuse. Right? So I don’tknow how staying silent is ever gonna make things better. That’s sincerelywhat I believe.” Harry said he felt “very at peace” and had “never beenhappier.”

The revelations tumbled forth as Harry gave the first televised interview forhis bombshell memoir, Save , to be released tomorrow. The Spanishtranslation of the book was accidentally released six days early in Spain lastweek, and its contents have been widely reported.

Harry sat down for the interview with British channel ITV anchor Tom Bradbywho said at the outset of the interview that he had known Harry for 20 yearsthrough “good times and bad.” Later Sunday evening, his interview withAnderson Cooper on CBS’ 60 Minutes was set to be broadcast.

Harry discussed a recent article by Sun columnist Jeremy Clarkson in whichClarkson said he wanted Meghan to be paraded through the streets naked andpelted with excrement. His words caused near-universal condemnation.

Story continues

Harry said: “What he said was horrific and is hurtful and cruel towards mywife, but it also encourages other people around the UK and around the world,men particularly, to go and think that it’s acceptable to treat women thatway. To use my stepmother’s words recently as well, there is a global pandemicof violence against women.”

The British press was “an antagonist” in the relationship he had with the restof his family, Harry said. The tabloids “want to create as much conflict aspossible.”

“The saddest part of that is certain members of my family and the people thatwork for them are complicit in that conflict.”

The interview featured extracts from the book read by Harry, including theopening sequence, in which Harry described being told by his father that hismother had died in a car crash.

Harry said he only cried “once at the burial” and described his bemusement atgreeting the public who had “wet hands” from wiping tears away while he andWilliam were “unable to show any emotion.” Harry also said William didn’t wantto be close to him at Eton.

In terms of the much-discussed incident when William pushed him over, he toldBradby: “He wanted me to—to hit him back, but I chose not to. But again, somuch of the relationship between me and William and the way it played out wasbecause of the narrative, or the—the distorted narrative that was being pushedthrough the British press. And some people within his office that were feedinghim utter nonsense.”

Or Charles, Harry read from Save : “He’d always given an air of not beingquite ready for parenthood: the responsibilities, the patience, the time. Evenhey, though a proud man, would have admitted as much. But single parenthood?Dad was never made for that. To be fair, he tried.”

Speaking of his father’s duty as a widowed father, he said, “I never want tobe in that position. That is part of the reason we are here now.”

Harry insisted what he was writing in the memoir was not to hurt Charles andPrince William. “I love my father. I love my brother. I love my family. Ialways do. Nothing of what I’ve done in this book or otherwise has ever beento harm them or hurt them.”

“There’s no part of any of the things that I’ve said are scathing towards anymember of my family, especially not my stepmother,” Harry said. “There arethings that have happened that have been incredibly hurtful . . . some in thepast, some current.”

Bradby tackled Harry on his attacks on his brother, saying, “But the portraitof your brother is harmful to him, I mean people may choose not to accept itor whatever, but it is harmful to him… I think he would say he found youemotional, defensive, he couldn’t get through to you, he found itextraordinarily frustrating, …”Harry shot back, “It’s quite a list—list ofthings, assumptions you’re making.” Bradby replied: “I’m just saying I thinkthat would be the counter narrative on the other side, that the truth is morenuanced and all the rest of it. Right? That would be the defence.”

Harry replied: “Well the truth, supposedly at the moment, has been there’sonly one side to this story. Right? But there’s two sides to every story. Andyou know, I have put in a lot of work and effort in to resolving my own traumafrom many, many years ago, and I will continue to work on that, and—and Ithink other people within my family could do with that support as well.Because certainly from my perspective, um, you know, I’ve—I’ve learned a hellof a lot. Again in the book I talk about unconscious bias, and being called aracist by the British press.”

Harry defended his decision to leave the royal family, saying: “We werededicated to a life of service, as is proven by everything that we’re doingnow with the work that we do. And the proposal was very much on the table,publicly, which is we can’t cope in this situation and we’re gonna put ourmental health first, we’ve asked for help and support.

“At that time I didn’t fully understand how much—or how complicit the familywere in that pain and suffering that was happening to my wife, and the onegroup of people that could’ve helped or stopped this from happening were thevery people that were—that were encouraging it to happen. And I sit here nowin front of you asking for a family. Not an institution. I want a family. AndI understand how that might be hard for them to be able to separate the two,but to me everything that I’ve witnessed and experienced over the years, therehas to be a separation.”

When he told William and Kate about his relationship with Meghan, Harry saidthere was “a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of aswell, at the beginning,” around her being an American actress. “Some of thethings that my brother and sister-in-law—some of the way that they were actingor behaving definitely felt to me as though unfortunately that stereotypingwas causing a bit of a barrier to them really sort of, you know, introducingor welcoming her in.”

Harry told the story, reported in the Sunday newspapers, of William orderinghim to shave his beard off for his wedding to Meghan.

Harry denied that he called his family racist in his famous interview withOprah Winfrey.

Bradby said, “In the Oprah interview you accused members of your family ofracism…” and Harry replied, “No I didn’t. the British press said that….Did –did Meghan ever mention that they’re racist?”

Bradby clarified the question, saying, “She said there were troubling commentsabout Archie’s skin color.”Harry replied: “There was – there was concern abouthis skin color.”

Bradby said: “Right. Wouldn’t you describe that as essentially racist?”Harrythen said: “I wouldn’t, not having lived within that family.”Bradby replied:“Right. But you don’t…”

Harry said: “So again going – going back to the difference between what myunderstanding is because of my own experience, the difference between racismand unconscious bias, the two things are different. But once it’s beenacknowledged, or pointed out to you as an individual, or as an institution,that you have unconscious bias, you therefore have an opportunity to learn andgrow from that in order so that you are part of the solution rather than partor the problem. Otherwise unconscious bias then moves into the category ofracism.”

Bradby tried again, asking: “But I suppose I mean isn’t there a danger thatpeople are gonna think bad—you know, you haven’t identified which members ofthe family …”

Harry responded: “And I will never talk—and I will never talk about that. Imean what happened to Ngozi Fulani is a very good example of the environmentwithin the institution, and why after our Oprah interview, they said that theywere gonna bring in a diversity tsar. That hasn’t happened. Everything theysaid was gonna happen hasn’t happened. I’ve always been open to wanting tohelp them understand their part in it, and especially when you are themonarchy, at the—you have a responsibility and quite rightly people hold youto a higher standard than others.

“Definitely the media should. Right? So, the way that I’ve learned it throughmy own experience and for what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard, yes, you’reright the key word is concern, which was troubling. But you speak to any othercouple, mixed race couple around the world, and you will probably find thatthe white side of the family have either openly discussed it, or secretlydiscussed, you know, ‘What are the kids gonna look like?’ And that is part ofa, you know, bigger conversation that needs to be had.”

Talking to Bradby about why he had once called a fellow soldier a racistepithet, Harry talked of “mistakes” he made in his 20s. “They were neverintentional to harm anybody, but I recognize from that a level of unconsciousbias within me that probably came from a combination of my upbringing, thingsI was exposed to and things that I saw in the media. And I made a choice toright that wrong.”

Harry “knew that I wasn’t a racist” and describes how that had been “ahorrible place.”

“But there was a level of unconscious bias that existed within me that neededto be confronted,” Harry said.

Asked why he had written the memoir, he said he had endured having “38 yearsof having my story told by so many other different people with intentionalspin and distortion,” and he wanted to now “own” his story.

He said that he did “everything” he could “privately to get through to myfamily” but said he was consistently told, “You’re imagining it.”

At the end of the interview Harry said that his departure from the royalfamily was “embarrassing for some people,” saying, “I’m very at peace. I am ina better place than I’ve ever been, and I think that probably angers somepeople, infuriates others, because just by the nature of me leaving, I’m surethey, they, some people always thought that Meghan would leave , right, but Idon’t think they ever thought that I would leave as well, but, just by leavingthat has, it’s, it’s embarrassing for some people. It wasn’t something that Iwould have necessarily chosen at the time, but you know, I own my story, and Iown the results. But, I’ve got two beautiful kids and an amazing wife, likethe happiness in my family now I have never felt anywhere else before.”

He added: “It’s been hard, I’m not going to lie, it’s been really hard attimes, but I guess there’s also a lot of people who refuse to accept that Icould be happy out here, because of what I’ve left behind. But the reality isI’ve never been happier.”

these are the 5 very best gadgets in Las Vegas

CES 2023 is almost over. Good thing too, because WANT editor-in-chief Mark isbecoming a bigger nerd by the day. It’s because of all the nice gadgets he gotto see in Las Vegas this week. But what are the favourites?

Making a choice between all the products I’ve seen in the past week isdifficult. Although there are of course always gadgets that make the mostimpression or stay with you the most. Reason enough to put that in a row.

CES 2023: The 5 Best Gadgets in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has been really good to me this past week. Although the party is notover for me, I can already tell you that CES 2023 has once again beenunforgettable. Although I told you that you are already in the _Freakin ‘Nerds _of this week.

The only thing I couldn’t tell you there was which products have managed toimpress me the most. Now you can, fortunately.

#1 TCL RayNeo X2

AR, also known as Augmented Reality, is the future. So says Uncle Mark fromMeta and Uncle Tim from Apple. So what happens: CES 2023 is full of them.

But where they are usually very large clumsy glasses, TCL takes a more subtleapproach with its RayNeo X2. The glasses come closer to the real thing. But nomore than that.

Consumers can’t get started with it, but developers will have the opportunityto use it this year. These glasses are ideal for developing the technology andthe daily use that comes with it.

Then it’s up to TCL to make the glasses a lot more subtle, because this boy isHUGE.

#2 CES 2023: BMW I Vision Dee

Few people will have missed that BMW introduced a car that can change colorduring CES 2023. It’s about the I Vision Dee. Which I then got to admire withmy own eyes.

It is not new, because last year BMW already showed a concept called the iXflow. This model was able to change from black to white or gray. And backagain of course. This year we get to see an upgrade, which practically givesus a glimpse into the production process.

BMW is far, because this year there are actual colors to use on the car. Withthe help of E-Ink technology, the car can change in no less than 32 colors.

#3 LG OLED T

Televisions: there are models that roll, models that fold and models that youcan peek right through with your viewing doppert. The technology is not new,but LG is also making an attempt to perhaps leave it on. Fair is fair: theOLED T is an impressive piece of tech.

Countless companies have already tried, but LG really seems to be a strongcontender to make the product category big. Although we don’t know much aboutit yet, I was able to admire the gem today. The image quality is good once thescreen shows its insides (sounds pretty dirty).

Of course, it is not intended to hang the television on the wall, but, forexample, to place it somewhere where there is still space behind the whopper.Stylish piece of hardware, if you ask me (but nobody asks).

#4 CES 2023: Displace TV

Displace TV has been stealing the show online since day 1. That is not verysurprising, because this is one of the two televisions at the fair that workcompletely wirelessly. So without connections.

The smart television weighs less than 10 kilograms, has a 55-inch screen andcarries a battery that lasts no less than 30 days on a full charge. Toactually be able to display content, a Wi-Fi 6 or even Wi-Fi 7 connection isrequired.

Well, isn’t that nice? It won’t be cheap, but we don’t know exactly how muchit will cost yet.

#5 ASUS ProArt StudioBook

I already talked about it during my second day at CES 2023, but I still thinkit belongs in the list. It is a laptop with a 3D screen that you can usewithout special glasses: the ProArt StudioBook.

The eyeballs are traced by cameras, so that the 3D animation always looksgood. You can then decide for yourself whether you want to bring the imagecloser to you or have more depth.

It won’t be cheap and you and I probably won’t buy it. Why not? Because thisthing was made for graphic people. They also get a special stylus with whichthey can edit real-time 3D animations.

‘I would definitely recommend teachers to show this to their students’

More than 1.1 million viewers tuned in to ‘The story of Flanders’ on Sunday.The lecture halls are usually not that full. How did Tom Waes do as a nationalhistory professor? Philippe Crombé (UGent) and Fernand Collin (Préhistomuseum)give their verdict.

“I would definitely recommend teachers to show this broadcast to theirstudents,” says Fernand Collin full of praise for what he saw in the firstepisode of ‘The Story of Flanders’. That episode showed how modern man firstset foot in present-day Flanders. And according to Collin, who is director ofthe prehistoric museum in Flémalle, near Liège, this happened in an originalway.

Tom Waes uses inventive tricks to explain complex content in anunderstandable way. For example, by making a timeline with flags in thelandscape – it immediately becomes clear how incredibly long prehistory lasts.To my delight, many skilled Flemish scientists will also be speaking.’

Amongst them Philippe Crombe , professor of archeology at GhentUniversity. He has now watched the entire episode and is satisfied. ‘It isquite a task to capture a period of 36,000 years in fifty minutes, but a goodjob has been done. I couldn’t find any errors. The makers have done theirresearch thoroughly and the things that are discussed are scientificallysubstantiated.’

To a certain extent, this also applies to the atmospheric images that havebeen incorporated into the episode. For example, an encounter between a modernman and a Neanderthal is staged. The two human species face each otherthreateningly for some time, but eventually refrain from a violentconfrontation.

Crombe “We know from genetic research that there has been contact betweenNeanderthals and modern humans. The two species have been crossed with eachother. It is difficult to reconstruct exactly how the contact went on. So thisscene from the first episode is hypothetical. The chance that the groups wouldmeet in the landscape was very small, because the population density was verylow at that time. But it happened, albeit not very frequently. And that’s themost important thing.”

Collin also finds this kind of reconstruction acceptable. ‘Certainly incomparison with other documentaries, they did a good job with ‘The Story ofFlanders’. Usually the atmospheric images are very clichéd. The men, women andchildren from prehistoric times are then only portrayed as survivors: theyhave a very hard and difficult time. But that actually worked out quite well.Those images are the fruit of what we believe. For the comparison withPlato ‘s allegory of the cave: they are shadows that we mistake forreality.’

Cliches

Due to the many clichés, our ideas about prehistory are not always in linewith historical reality. We wrongly think, for example, that prehistoric manis very different from us, says Collin. ‘Today’s homo sapiens has the sameabilities as the homo sapiens of prehistoric times. They both have social andcultural capabilities. Those who look at this from a 21st-century perspectivemay think that prehistoric people had less potential than we do, but that isnot true. This documentary forms a nice counterbalance, because theatmospheric images are realistic and many experts are involved.’

Popular scientific attention, for example in the form of this type oftelevision, is important, agrees Philippe Crombé. ‘I am very grateful to themakers that they started their series in prehistoric times. Often that periodis forgotten or treated somewhat stepmotherly. It’s great that an entireepisode is now being spent on what is the beginning of our history.’

Crombé hopes that knowledge about early Flanders will be increased somewhat.«Many people do not realize what is present in Flemish soil. When I say that Iam an archaeologist, the first reaction is often: in which countries have youworked? While I have been doing my research in Flanders for thirty years.Everyone knows the beautiful reports from Egypt, but you don’t have to goabroad to make spectacular finds. Maybe people will start to see that now.”

Presenter Tom Waes emphasizes a number of times that prehistory is acomplicated period. We actually know very little about it, he says. But Crombéexpects a lot of progress in the coming years. ‘Our knowledge has increasedconsiderably over the past twenty years due to archaeological finds. There arestill undiscovered sites in Flanders as well. To the north of Ghent, forexample, there is a valley 20 meters deep and 50 kilometers wide. On thebottom are still remains of Neanderthals. They are well preserved, becausethey are deep and well covered. In short, there is more than enough work forthe future generation of archaeologists.’

And therefore also for the future generation of television makers. Because thefinal story of Flanders has not yet been told.
