Podcasts about Antwerp

The universe hums a low, steady note...or so we were told. Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist from the University of Antwerp, joins us in that quiet static, where light and truth blur at the edges. We talk of cosmic beginnings, instrument design, of warmth beneath the skies, of radio echoes mistaken for the birth of everything. In that hum, between curiosity and doubt, the cosmos seems to ask who's really paying attention.CORRECTION NOTE: Dr. Robitaille wishes it to be known that when he says "titanium" on our phone call he should have said "titanium dioxide."PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!00:03:51 What is the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation00:10:44 Historical Development of the Big Bang Theory00:16:09 Conflicting Theories: Big Bang vs. Steady State Model00:17:33 The Redshift-Distance Relationship and Its Explanations00:21:12 Current Challenges in Understanding Light Behavior00:25:45 Reevaluating the Big Bang Theory Pillars00:27:50 The Discovery of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation00:31:56 Temperature and Black Body Radiation00:37:46 Implications for Gaseous Bodies and the Standard Model00:46:16 Big Bang Theory and Plasma Dynamics00:50:46 Cosmic Microwave Background Discovery00:54:15 Pierre Marie Robitaille's Theories00:58:40 Intersection of MRI and Astrophysics01:06:02 The Nature of Black Body Radiation01:09:45 Discussion on Emissivity and Lattice Structures01:16:44 Exploring CMB Radiation01:28:07 Water's Role in Radiation Theories01:31:36 Discussion on Water Sources for Cosmic Measurements01:32:57 Historical Context of Cosmic Background Measurements01:35:53 Focus on Anisotropy Maps01:37:39 Philosophical Confusion in Cosmology01:39:31 Intentions and Measurement Biases01:45:18 Measuring Temperature Differences in Space01:51:14 Evolution of Cosmic Measurement Techniques01:52:51 Cyanogen Measurements and Cosmic Microwave Background01:58:03 Exploring the COBE Satellite's Measurements02:02:36 Critique of Measurement Protocols in Cosmology02:06:45 Summation of Arguments#astrophysics, #bigbang, #planck #cosmicbackgroundradiation , #astronomer , #fusion #quantumphysics #universefacts , #spaceexploration , #astronomy , #cosmos , #demystifysci #physicspodcast #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Dubbed the Heist of the Century, the Antwerp Diamond Heist is straight out of a movie, seriously, I'm pretty sure the plot to the Ocean's 11 remake pulled a lotta inspiration from the events that actually took place. Antwerp is known as the diamond capital of the world. 85% of the rough diamonds in the world make their way to Antwerp. The Diamond District is where the cutting, polishing, wheeling, dealing takes place. When you have that many diamonds circulating around you're gonna need a very secure place to store them, like an underground vault with ten or more different levels of security preventing a break-in. Most thieves would look at this place and give it a hard pass. That is unless you're a member of The School of Turin, a mysterious organization known to count master thieves from all disciplines amongst its members. But to pull off a caper that escapes with more than $100 million in jewels, you need more than luck, you need preparation, skill....and a salami sandwich. Join us as we get Historically High on the heist of all heists. Support the show

It's all going wrong in Antwerp! The lads chat through who is to blame for the current situation at the Great Old and what the future might hold for the club. They also talk about Max Dean's antics against OH Leuven and player's of the week (some for better reasons than others!). They then talk second tier action and even take a brief look into the third tier of Belgian football!

We're back to Oslo for the ESRA Block Box experience where we interviewed two fascinating and impressive people: Guy Weinberg from Chicago regales us with how a failed experiment led to an incredible antidote, and leaves us with a word of warning about a commonly-used local anesthetic; and Barbara Breebaart from Antwerp, explains how we have just SIX seconds to win the confidence of our patients with our body language, and other amazing tips for putting patients at ease. Join us each month for another sassy conversation about anesthesiology, emergency medicine, critical care, POCUS, pain medicine, ultrasound guided nerve blocks, acute pain, and perioperative care!    Links:

“Het kan niet altijd feest zijn”, luidt het spreekwoord. Maar de malaise duurt nu toch al wel heel lang. Tegen Sint-Truiden werd al voor de 6e keer dit seizoen verloren en Antwerp staat nu voorlaatste. Hans, Duncan en Bob analyseren de crisis en proberen een antwoord te vinden op de vraag van het moment: “Wat met Stef Wils?” Host: Bob DejonghGasten: Hans Bressinck & Duncan BartholomeeusenMontage: Thomas Slembrouck Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Antwerp verloor dit weekend met 1-0 bij STVV en staat na een dramatische 2 op 24 voorlaatste in de Jupiler Pro League. Het lot van trainer Stef Wils lijkt aan een zijden draadje te hangen. Promovendus La Louvière doet het wél goed. Het is in de eigen Easi Arena bijna onklopbaar en lijkt zich vlotjes te kunnen handhaven in eerste klasse.In het buitenland zijn Arsenal en Bayern aan een indrukwekkende reeks bezig. Arsenal slikt bijna geen tegendoelpunten en Bayern blijft de overwinningen aan elkaar rijgen. Dinsdag volgt een nieuwe test voor Bayern. Vincent Kompany speelt dan met zijn ploeg op bezoek bij PSG, de winnaar van de Champions League van vorig seizoen.Koen en Evert kiezen ook hun man van het weekend en afsluiten doen we met een historische eerste titel voor Coquimbo Unido in Chili. Los Piratas zijn vier speeldagen voor het einde van de competitie al zeker van de titel.

AA Gent gaat van grote euforie weer over in ontsteltenis na de 4-0 nederlaag op Leuven. Anderlecht zit in de flow, Genk komt er opnieuw in en met Antwerp en Stef Wils gaat het van kwaad naar erger. Peter Vandenbempt blikt terug op de 13e speeldag in de Jupiler Pro League.

Welkom in de twaalfde aflevering van het tweede seizoen van Ballieman. De voetbalpodcast van Friends of Sports en Koolcast Sport. Elke zondagavond praten Alexandre & Gilles met enkele liefhebbers na over het voetbalweekend in België en het buitenland. Deze week zijn Andy Kisema en Brian Soares Duarte te gast. In eigen land zijn de grootste winnaars David Hubert en zijn ex-clubs; Union kon een goed Zulte Waregem opzij zetten met 1-4 En zijn exclubs RSC Anderlecht en OH Leuven werden ook winnaars dit weekend. Club Brugge blijft ademen in de nek van Union terwijl Sint-Truiden zijn plek in de top 6 blijft verstevigen ten koste van een tienkoppig Antwerp. Andy zag hoe zijn Arsenal (dankzij weer een stilstaande fasedoelpunt) verder doorpakte in de marathon naar de Premier League-titel. Bij Manchester United zal er nog steeds geen video met een kapper worden gemaakt tot frustratie van Brian.

What to Do When Visiting Mechelen, BelgiumNestled between Brussels and Antwerp, Mechelen is one of Belgium's most charming yet often overlooked cities. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and welcoming atmosphere, it offers visitors an authentic Belgian experience without the crowds. Whether you're spending a day or a weekend, here's how to make the most of your visit to Mechelen.1. Start at the Grote MarktEvery great visit to Mechelen begins in the Grote Markt, the city's picturesque main square. Surrounded by beautifully restored guild houses, cafés, and the imposing St. Rumbold's Cathedral, this is the heart of local life. Grab a coffee at one of the terraces and soak in the view of the impressive Stadhuis (Town Hall), a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.2. Climb St. Rumbold's TowerFor the best view in Mechelen, climb the St. Rumbold's Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 97-meter tower offers panoramic views stretching all the way to Brussels and Antwerp on a clear day. The climb includes several stops with exhibits about the tower's history and its world-famous carillon bells.3. Visit the Dossin Barracks and MuseumThe Kazerne Dossin Museum provides a powerful and moving experience. It tells the story of Belgium's Jewish community during World War II, focusing on the deportations that took place from this very site. The museum balances historical insight with personal stories, making it a deeply reflective visit.4. Discover the Beguinage QuarterWander through Mechelen's Beguinage Quarter, a maze of cobblestone lanes and quaint whitewashed houses. This peaceful neighborhood once housed a community of beguines—women who lived religious lives without taking vows. Today, it's a serene area perfect for a quiet stroll and a glimpse into medieval urban life.5. Explore the River Dijle PathFor a unique view of Mechelen, walk along the Dijlepad, a wooden boardwalk that floats above the River Dijle. This scenic walkway winds through the city, connecting green spaces and historic buildings, offering a tranquil way to experience Mechelen from a different perspective.6. Tour the Hof van Busleyden MuseumThe Hof van Busleyden Museum, housed in a Renaissance palace, showcases Mechelen's role during the Burgundian era. The exhibitions blend art, history, and innovation, providing insight into the city's golden age when it was a major center of European politics and culture.7. Visit the Het Anker Brewery and DistilleryNo trip to Mechelen would be complete without a stop at the Het Anker Brewery and Distillery, one of the oldest breweries in Belgium. Located in the heart of the city, Het Anker has been brewing beer for more than five centuries and is home to the famous Gouden Carolus range. Join a guided tour to learn about traditional brewing methods and sample a selection of their award-winning beers straight from the source. The onsite distillery adds another dimension, producing fine Gouden Carolus whiskies that have gained international acclaim. The adjoining brasserie is the perfect place to enjoy hearty Belgian dishes paired with their signature brews.8. Experience the Toy Museum (Speelgoedmuseum Mechelen)For a touch of nostalgia and fun, visit the Toy Museum of Mechelen, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. This museum showcases an extensive collection of toys from across generations—ranging from antique dolls and model trains to classic board games and modern LEGO creations. It's a wonderful experience for families and adults alike, offering both playful exhibits and thoughtful insights into how toys have evolved over time. Children can participate in interactive play areas, while adults will find themselves reminiscing about their own childhood favorites.9. Taste More Local DelightsBeyond Het Anker, Mechelen's culinary scene continues to impress. Try Maneblusser, the city's other signature beer, named after a local legend about the townspeople mistaking the moon's glow for a fire in the cathedral tower. Pair it with Flemish specialties at one of the city's many excellent restaurants, from traditional brasseries to modern bistros.10. Visit Technopolis with the FamilyIf you're traveling with children, Technopolis is another must-visit attraction. This interactive science museum encourages hands-on exploration, with exhibits that make learning fun for all ages. It's located just outside the city center and is a perfect choice for a family day out or a rainy afternoon.11. Relax at the Botanical GardenEnd your day with a quiet moment in Mechelen's Botanical Garden (Kruidtuin). Originally part of a monastery, it's now a beautifully maintained park with lush greenery, flowers, and shaded benches. It's the ideal spot to unwind before heading back to the bustling Grote Markt for dinner.12. Stay a Little LongerMechelen may be compact, but it rewards those who linger. With its blend of history, culture, and modern charm, it's the kind of city where every street holds a story. Whether you're climbing the cathedral tower, tasting Gouden Carolus at Het Anker, or rediscovering childhood memories at the Toy Museum, Mechelen invites you to slow down and truly experience Belgium at its best.*We mention a few other Belgium episodes to go check out!

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been garnering headlines across multiple fronts over the past few days. Most significantly, he broke his silence on Instagram this week to reveal that he has been battling Lyme disease—describing it as “relentlessly debilitating,” with symptoms including nerve pain, fatigue, and persistent sickness. Timberlake's post emphasized a desire to connect with others facing similar health struggles and to help raise awareness about the dangers of tick-borne illnesses. This candid message arrives as researchers at Old Dominion University caution about the increasing prevalence of another dangerous tick-borne infection—babesiosis—especially in Timberlake's native Mid-Atlantic region. Public health experts believe that Timberlake's openness may help shift public awareness and inspire improved research funding and surveillance.On the music front, Timberlake's “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” continues to dominate headlines with record-breaking success. After a sold-out run across the United States, the European leg kicked off in early August, including back-to-back concerts at Antwerp's massive Sportpaleis arena where Timberlake performed crowd favorites such as “Rock Your Body,” “Mirrors,” and his new hits like “Drown.” The tour, supported by his album “Everything I Thought It Was,” is now his highest-grossing ever, pulling in more than $140 million from over 70 shows so far according to Complex, with attendance set to exceed one million fans worldwide. Social media buzz has amplified the excitement, with fan accounts on Instagram sharing live footage from recent concerts, including Timberlake's energetic opening of “Rock Your Body” at Nassau Coliseum and up-close shots of him performing for packed crowds.Away from the stage, Timberlake's financial and business activities also make news. Several outlets, including I Like To Dabble and MonitorBP, estimate his net worth for 2025 between $300 and $350 million, citing his continued success in music, acting, and lucrative investments in brands and startups.Meanwhile, Timberlake's Detroit concert at Little Caesars Arena back in February has come up in an unrelated legal matter. Multiple news outlets such as Click On Detroit report that a former executive is suing her CEO, alleging sexual harassment during the concert. It's crucial to note Timberlake himself is not a party to the lawsuit, but the incident arose during one of his sold-out performances, adding an unexpected dimension to his recent news cycle.Overall, the confluence of Timberlake's honest health disclosure, his triumphant touring, savvy business dealings, and cameo role as the backdrop in a workplace lawsuit underscore how the entertainer remains deeply woven into pop culture, headline news, and social media moments in 2025.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In the early hours of February 15, 2003, a small crew of Italian thieves pulled off what seemed impossible, they broke into the world's most secure diamond vault in Antwerp, Belgium. They slipped past ten layers of high tech security without triggering a single alarm, making off with millions in gems, gold, and cash. It was the kind of heist you'd expect in a Hollywood script, but this one was real, and to this day, the missing diamonds have never been found.

In this episode, Jessica and I begin with a question: How does one stay rooted in beauty without being consumed by it?Our conversation traces the slow emergence of Babalon—the archetypal force of erotic creativity, sovereignty, and sacred presence—as she rises from beneath perception and into felt experience. We explore how this creative power nourishes when embodied, but also how it can distort when separated from feeling.We draw on priestess and magician lineages to consider what it means to grow in relation to beauty—to open without losing oneself, to feel deeply without flooding, and to hold the creative current with integrity.This is an episode for those navigating the subtle path between inspiration and fragmentation, and seeking to rise gently, steadily, into the sacred power of presence. --------------------Jessica Christine is the creator of DeerWomen.

For some the Maison Margiela Artisanal 2025 show was everything they'd hoped for – clothes that stood for something and contained an otherworldly beauty and thoughtful details.For others, it was discomforting, even ugly and the fact that we couldn't see the models' faces was disturbing.In this episode of The Charisse Report we're going to look at themes of uglifying, destruction and sustainability, as well as smaller details like the body as a canvas the masks, plastic and the music from the show. After that I'll share my favourite looks with you.If you want a visual version of this episode you can find it on YouTube and Spotify.In this episode: Martin Margiela, Antwerp, Maison Margiela, Glenn Martens, Yohan Serfaty, Inge Grognard, Gary Gill, Diesel, Fashion, The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, Lucas Emilio Brunner, Uglify, Lewis CarrollMorgan DeBaun Digital twin video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMLHGpISF9u/?igsh=bnVrMjZqazU3c2d1 Nick Cave interview: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKZAqbBAB5a/?igsh=MWpsa2xkNGp1cDVjYQ==Imagery: Martin Margiela's White Universe 1988-2008 published by MoMu Fashion MuseumVogue Runway@maison.margiela.archive on IGBooksUgly: The Aesthetics of Everything by Stephen Bayley: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116280726122Maison Martin Margiela's White Universe 1988-2008 MoMu 2025: https://tenderbooks.co.uk/products/martin-margielas-white-universe-1988-2008

Whether you're a clinician, cyclist, or just someone trying to figure out what's happening with your own pelvic floor, this one's for you.In this episode, we talk about:Saddle health & preventing saddle sorenessCystocele, urinary incontinence & prolapse expectationsCycling-specific pelvic floor considerationsReal-time ultrasound in treatmentPelvic floor myths that still need bustingAnd how to talk about queefing without cringingGrab your headphones and let's normalize these conversations. Because pelvic health is health—and it shouldn't feel taboo.

At "Beyond the Big Bang" 2025, Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma scientist at the University of Antwerp, delivers two quiet revolts against the reigning cosmological order. In the first talk, he develops Dr. Pierre Marie Robitaille's vision of the Sun not as a chaotic gas ball, but as a layered, liquid structure—dense enough to host fusion through lattice confinement, where matter itself conspires in silence. Patrick takes Dr. Robitaille's model one step further, examining the possibility that diverse types of fusion may be occurring throughout different regions of the liquid plasma. In the second talk, Patrick takes aim at the cosmic origin of the microwave background, suggesting that what's been repeatedly called the echo of creation may instead be a local artifact—unmeasured where it matters most. Patrick doesn't reject mainstream physics—he asks physicists to look again, more carefully, and perhaps more honestly. The Q&A shows this is not the simple request it seems.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.
