Patrick Schreurs, mede-oprichter van News Service Europe, vertelt over de opkomst en ondergang van zijn nieuwsgroepenbedrijf en de slepende rechtszaak met Stichting Brein die daarop volgde. De aflevering schetst een tijdsbeeld van de internetcultuur rond Usenet, hoe nieuwsgroepen functioneerden als voorloper van sociale media en waarom ze ineens onder vuur kwamen te liggen. Met technische uitleg, historische context én juridische diepgang. Van pionieren in de Watergraafsmeer tot procederen tot aan het Europese Hof: dit is het verhaal van een digitale strijd.In het gesprek worden niet alleen de juridische stappen ontleed, maar ook de maatschappelijke discussie over auteursrechten, netneutraliteit en platformverantwoordelijkheid. Patrick deelt openhartig zijn persoonlijke ervaringen, hoe hij uiteindelijk jurist werd door deze zaak, en wat dit alles betekent voor innovatie versus regelgeving. Een fascinerende mix van tech, recht, geschiedenis en emotie, met ruimte voor nuance en terugkijken op een digitale tijd die we bijna vergeten zijn.ShownotesUsenetStichting BREINEuropese wetgeving over hostinguitsluitingNotice and takedownBorn to Be Alive (jaja, niet de Village People!)The Pirate BayTijdschema0:00:00 Voorstellen: Patrick Schreurs0:0:06 De Ontstaansgeschiedenis van Usenet0:3:08 Hoe Werkt Usenet?0:7:57 De Impact van Retentie0:10:55 Het Veranderende Gebruik van Usenet0:14:36 Oprichting van News Service Europe0:17:42 Kosten en Opslag van Data0:19:36 De Rol van Stichting Brein0:23:00 De Rechtszaak Tegen News Service0:28:36 Aansprakelijkheid en Neutrale Tussenpersonen0:36:44 Het Hoger Beroep en De Uitspraak0:52:15 Schadevergoeding en Toekomstige Stappen1:02:18 Lessen uit de Rechtszaak1:07:33 Afsluiting en ToekomstplannenZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mon. Jan. 6th/25 Join Me Tonight LIVE as I welcome my Guest Mary Electra. Internationally known spiritual teacher, Mary Electra, “Tonal Alchemist” is a master of enhancing the intention of the healing process, individually and globally. Mary works on many dimensional levels, using techniques such as toning, breath-work, and spiritual counseling with the Tarot as ancient healing vibrations manifest through her. She is inspired by the spiritual vibrations of many master's i.e., Mary Magdalena, the Christ Consciousness, Sai Baba, Baba Ji, Mother Mary, and Jesus, as well as other inter-dimensional beings to open portals and ignite the higher dimensional “self” within. This is where we consciously connect to “source” opening us to our unlimited potential. As sound is one of the most powerful healing modalities, and in our world today one of the “most needed” healing modalities, she has been inspired to produce “intentional healing CD's” collaborating with other musicians to create three simply magnificent works of sound healing; “Ancient Sounds in Paradise”, “Homecoming to Spirit” and “Breathe Peace”. Another guided endeavor was writing and publishing “Time to Be Alive” part autobiographical and part guided wisdom. You can find digital files of these products on her website: www.soundhealingelectra,com.

I have a fundamental question for you – what is life? For something seemingly so basic, it is quite hard to define. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Carl Zimmer, took on that topic in his book Life's Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive. I spoke with Carl on our podcast, AMSEcast, and, among other indicators of life, he raised one that was a bit surprising – life is defined, in part, by decision making, and not just for us creatures who have brains. 

In July of 1993, professional scuba diver Ken Wilson set out to explore ancient Mayan ruins on the island of Cozumel. But what was supposed to be a simple excursion quickly turned into a fight for survival, finding himself lost in the dense jungle with no sense of direction, no food, and little water. Over the course of 20 grueling days, Ken faced the unthinkable. But through it all, he kept his focus, his will to survive, and eventually, his life.Support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!Follow us on Instagram at offthetrailspodcastFollow us on Facebook at Off the Trails PodcastIf you have your own outdoor misadventure (or adventure) story that you'd like us to include in a listener episode, send it to us at offthetrailspodcast@gmail.com  Please take a moment to rate and review our show, and a big thanks if you already have!  Episode Sources:I Shouldn't Be Alive, The Straight Dope Message Board, Daily Journal, Puerta Maya, Wikipedia**We do our own research and try our best to cross reference reliable sources to present the most accurate information we can.

This is episode (8) of our special nine-part series entitled It's Not Too Late. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Gabby Reece - volleyball legend, inspirational health and fitness leader, podcast host, corporate speaker, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother. In this conversation, Gabby shares her own personal experience navigating midlife and her perspective and advice on fostering a positive mindset, prioritizing self-care + the power of taking personal inventory. Together we discuss why it's "never too late" for anything; new pursuits, fitness, relationships and instead how to lean into curiosity and play with flexibility and grace.Here are some key themes + takeaways …Midlife + Adolescence: similar to adolescence, we can either buy into what society tells us that we should be thinking and feeling in midlife, or we can avoid the noise and take charge of what we can control.We're not invisible, it's simply nature: at the end of the day, humans are animals. As we reach midlife, we're not emitting signals to make people look at us, because we're NOT having babies anymore. That doesn't mean we're invisible. Midlife is nature's way of freeing us up, so we can move on and add value in different ways.Preserve your inner ‘girl': as we age, remember to have fun, not just on Saturday nights but also on everyday afternoons. Lety's “sharpen the blade of being ‘naughty' and be more playful, have more levity and take ourselves less seriously.The distinction between curiosity and searching: recognize that the answer is not “out there” for us to search for, it's ‘within' us. Ultimately there really aren't any ‘answers' anyway. Curiosity is about waking up everyday with your beliefs but being willing to question them, listen to other ideas and learn new concepts.As long as you're ALIVE, be ALIVE: don't fall into the trap of ‘you're either young or old'. Instead, lean into the fact that you're either ALIVE or DEAD, and as long as you're alive, BE ALIVE.

In this fascinating interview, James Thornton, founder and CEO of ClientEarth, discusses his latest book Nature, My Teacher, offering a unique perspective on the intersections of law, nature, and spirituality. Reflecting on his decades-long career as an environmental lawyer, Thornton shares how his work to protect the environment has been shaped by his deep reverence for nature and his experiences as a Zen Buddhist priest. The book delves into his personal philosophy and the lessons he's learned from nature, which continue to inspire his work in environmental advocacy.Thornton reflects on his journey with ClientEarth, an environmental law charity that has made significant strides in using the law to hold corporations and governments accountable for environmental harm. His experiences span across continents, from the United States to Europe and China, where he has helped shape legal systems that protect the planet. One notable highlight in the interview is Thornton's experience in China, where he has been working to help develop laws that empower citizens to hold polluters, including government-owned entities, accountable. This groundbreaking work aligns with China's ambition to build an "ecological civilization," an effort enshrined in its constitution and reflected in transformative advancements in green technology.Throughout the conversation, Thornton weaves together the themes of his book with his practical experience in environmental law, illustrating how his spiritual beliefs, legal expertise, and deep connection to nature converge to guide his approach to sustainability. Nature, My Teacher serves as both a reflection on Thornton's remarkable career and an urgent call to reconnect with the natural world, offering readers a hopeful yet pragmatic roadmap for tackling the climate crisis.James Thornton is the founding CEO of ClientEarth, a path-breaking law firm which uses advocacy, litigation and research to address the greatest challenges of our time – including nature loss and climate change. ClientEearth has an extra-ordinary record of success built on solid law and science – and has brought about fundamental change in the way environmental protections are made and enforced across Europe. The New Statesman has named James as one of 10 people who could change the world. James has twice won Leader of the Year at the Business Green Awards. The Financial Times awarded him its Special Achievement accolade at the FT Innovative Lawyers Awards. James is an ordained Zen Buddhist priest; his latest book Nature, My Teacher: How to Be Alive in a World under Threat was published in April.

In April 1989, climbers Jim Sweeney and Dave Nyman embarked on a challenging ascent of the Elevator Shaft on Mount Johnson in the Ruth Gorge, Alaska. Their expedition took a perilous turn when Sweeney, leading the climb, experienced a harrowing fall due to a collapsing formation. The incident resulted in a fractured right hip for Sweeney. Facing treacherous conditions, Nyman initiated an extraordinary self-rescue mission, spending six hours lowering the injured Sweeney to safety. The climbers encountered multiple avalanches, losing crucial gear, and enduring extreme conditions. Nyman's subsequent attempt to seek help faced unforeseen challenges, further complicating their dire situation. As their ordeal unfolded, a plane piloted by Mark Niver inadvertently entered the scene, leading to a crash. Niver and his passengers, undeterred by the crash, became unwitting witnesses to the climbers' struggle. The situation took an unexpected turn when the climbers faced additional avalanches, losing more gear and battling the elements. The story underscores the critical importance of communication tools in remote climbs, as the absence of radios significantly impacted the rescue process. Ultimately, a complex rescue mission involving helicopters and skilled mountaineers led to the safe evacuation of Sweeney and Nyman on April 26. The climbers' resilience, coupled with a stroke of luck, played a crucial role in their survival. In this podcast episode, we sit down with Mark Niver, the pilot whose unplanned presence became a pivotal element in this gripping tale of survival and resilience. Join us as we delve into the details of this harrowing adventure, exploring the challenges faced by climbers in remote terrains and the unforeseen events that can shape the course of such expeditions.

Three years later I came back and worked in a fish processing plant in Bristolbay Bay Alaska for a summer job. Then after high school in Minnesota I drove to Alaska to try and find employment. Landed a job with BP at their oilfield in Prudhoe Bay.  Three years later I also started commercial fishing in Bristolbay during my vacation time from the oilfield. In the meantime I learned to fly at the age of 19.  Got married and raised three boys, who all started fishing with me on my boat at the age of 10. Also managed to race the Iron Dog snow machine race 4 times…. It's a 2200 mile race through the heart of Alaska.  I retired from the oilfield but continue to commercial fish now.

What Are The Top 5 Keys To Being a Better Listener? Being a good listener is an essential skill that fosters understanding, empathy, and connection with others. Here are five inspirational keys to becoming a better listener: Embrace Silence, Hear Wisdom: Practice the art of stillness and give others the space to express themselves. Silence is not an absence but a presence, a moment filled with potential understanding. Embrace the pause, and allow others to fill it with their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. See Through Others' Eyes, Feel Through Their Hearts: When listening, strive to understand not just the words but the emotions and motivations behind them. Listen with empathy, imagining yourself in the speaker's position, and seek to grasp the full essence of their message. This compassionate understanding creates a deeper connection. Be Present, Be Alive in the Moment: Put away distractions and give your complete attention to the speaker. Let them feel that, in this moment, there is nothing more important than understanding their thoughts and feelings. This full presence communicates respect and validates the importance of their message. Listen to Understand, Not to Reply: Many of us prepare our response while others are still talking, but true listening requires a suspension of judgment and a focus on comprehension. Let go of the urge to interject, solve, or advise, and instead, make it your goal to truly understand the speaker's perspective. Your insightful responses will flow naturally from this understanding. Reflect and Validate, the Mirror of Respect: Reflecting what you've heard and validating the speaker's feelings doesn't mean you have to agree with them. It's a way to demonstrate that you've really heard them and that their feelings are valid. This mirroring reinforces trust, respect, and a deeper connection. Incorporating these principles into your daily interactions can transform your relationships and foster a greater sense of empathy, understanding, and connection with those around you. The ability to listen is a gift you can give to others, and it often returns to you in the form of deeper, more meaningful relationships.

When you order something online, do you then track the package to see where it is and when it is coming? This episode begins with the results of a survey about how people track their orders and why and how they hate it when a package is late. https://blog.4over.com/delivery-tracking-consumers-statistics Do you know how soap works to get the dirt out – or how moisturizers work? What is it about caffeine that keeps you awake? The answer is - chemistry! With everything you do and anywhere you go there is a lot of chemistry working in the background. Here to explain how it all works is chemist Kate Bibendorf. Kate is a chemist and author of the book It's Elemental: The Hidden Chemistry in Everything (https://amzn.to/3ycoZEK). You are going to hear things you never knew before and you will likely never drink a flaming shot of vodka again in your life! Doesn't it seem that science should have a pretty solid definition of what life is. Actually though, it is a mystery. Even though we all have a pretty good sense or understanding of life – it remains undefinable. Why? That's what Carl Zimmer set out to find out. Carl writes the Matter column for The New York Times and is author of 13 books including Life's Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive (https://amzn.to/3yhCBP1) He joins me to explain what we do know, what we don't know and how some things you might think are alive – actually are not. Maybe. Who hasn't had a swig of water from a garden hose on a hot day? But it is probably a very bad idea. Listen as I explain why you are much better off going into the house and getting a glass of water and leave the garden hose water in the garden. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/06/do-you-suppose-it-s-safe-to-drink-from-a-hose/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Samuel Lebens—a philosophy professor, rabbi, and Jewish educator—about the nature of consciousness.At a time when artificial intelligence can make us question what it even is that makes humans unique, we look deeply into our ability to have personal experiences and turn them into new ideas. In this episode, we discuss with Sam: Why do we each have a subjective consciousness?What is the relationship between prayer and our lives?What is the “Turing test,” and how does it relate to prayer?Tune in to hear a conversation about how consciousness gives us the ability to transform words into prayer, to “sing a new song.”Interview begins at 31:28.Rabbi Dr. Samuel Lebens is an associate professor in the philosophy department at the University of Haifa, as well as a rabbi and Jewish educator. Samuel holds a PhD in philosophy from Birkbeck College (University of London), and his academic interests cover the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. Samuel teaches at the Drisha Institute for Jewish Education and the Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies. Samuel's most recent book, of several, is A Guide for the Jewish Undecided, groundbreaking work has an engaging style that makes it accessible to all readers, while not losing the clarity and rigor characteristic of analytic philosophy. Samuel's first book was a study of Bertrand Russell's dynamic theories about the nature of meaning. Samuel previously joined us to talk about rationality and mysticism.References:Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R.

How should Christians think about evolving technology? What does it look like to engage in conversations about ChatGPT or the Bing AI bot that recently tried to persuade a New York Times reporter to leave his spouse for the bot? How is society affected by apocalyptic predictions regarding overpopulation or climate change? On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, poet, author, and literary critic Adam Kirsch joins Moore to answer these questions. They talk about Kirsch's new book, The Revolt Against Humanity: Imagining a Future Without Us; Jewish and Christian views of human nature; and how to communicate across differences in worldview. They ask whether people with an antihuman mindset—in which humans are the problem—have it right. Or, perhaps, are the transhumanists—who believe we can and should transcend humanity—on to something? Might God offer a better way than either of these perspectives? Tune in for an episode that explores the possibilities for what life could look like in the coming years and ponders how God might encourage his people to live in these times.
