Vandaag gedenken we de heilige Scholastica. De heilige Scholastica was niet van plan om haar tweelingbroer, heilige Benedictus, een excuus te laten verzinnen waarom hij niet kon blijven om met haar over spirituele dingen te praten. Broers en zussen hebben vaak een goed gevoel voor elkaar en weten wanneer ze smoesjes verzinnen en iets achterhouden. […]

Back To The Roots Of Berlin School by Erwin Broers

  At the beginning of September when I posted my "Sequencer City" mix, I said I'd been on a berlin school bender. Well, now three months later I'm still on that sequencer synth kick. At the end of October the analog synth itch was scratched by a stellar guest mix from Erwin Broers called "Capturing The Voice Of A Galaxy." It featured tracks from the Klaus Schulz label, "Innovative Communications. Now we have have a follow up mix from Erwin called "Back to the Roots of Berlin School." Oh man, this is some good stuff! Erwin tells me that "there's a whole sub-category of "Berlin School" out there called "Retro Berlin School". In the mid 1990's "Berlin School" was revived by nostalgic electronic artists who benefited from technological innovations to make the iconic analog synths such as the Mellotron, the ARP 2600 and the big Moog Modular more playable. The result was a huge resurgence of mid 1970's style Berlin School EM which was dubbed "retro" to mark the difference with the classics such as Tangerine Dream's Stratosfear, Klaus Schulze's Timewind and Ashra's New Age Of Earth." I hope my current obsession with this genre continues because I am loving every minute of it. Thanks for another great mix, Erwin.

Jarenlang waren Jacob en Umar goede vrienden, ze beschouwden elkaar als broers. Maar in juli 2021 gebeurt er ontstaat er een conflict tussen de twee, dat ontvlamt als ze allebei rondhangen op een parkeerterrein in Dordrecht. Aan de ene kant van de parkeerplaats staat Jacob met een groepje vrienden, aan de andere kant staat Umar met zijn broer Marouan en nog wat vrienden. Nadat er gescholden en uitgedaagd wordt , vliegt Umar Jacob aan, waarbij Jacob meerdere steekwonden oploopt. Vrienden brengen Jacob naar het huis van zijn moeder, die hem direct naar het ziekenhuis brengt. In de rechtbank wuiven Umar en Marouan de verdenkingen weg als ‘een complot' en ‘een mooi verzonnen verhaaltje'. De sfeer in de rechtbank is broeierig en er staan meerdere agenten klaar om in te grijpen, mocht dat nodig zijn. Rechtbankverslaggever Niels Dekker volgt de zaak namens AD De Dordtenaar: ,,Jacob is een beer van een vent, echt een grote gast. Hij schaamt zich voor de gevolgen van de steekpartij en heeft zijn kinderen nog niets vertelt over die avond. ‘Ik heb moeten vechten voor mijn leven, tegen twee broers die het op mij gemunt hadden', , dat is wel een uitspraak die me raakte.‘'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over een 'groter verhaal' dat gaat over geloven, over God, de kerk en de Dominicuskerk in Amsterdam waar Arjan pastor is.Met een heerlijke eigentijdse kijk op geloven & de kerk ('We willen recht doen aan de traditie, met de taal van nu') gaan we in gesprek over geloof, hoop en liefde, met ook nog eens cursus 'wijsheid voor beginners'.  Kortom, een aflevering die je zeker niet wilt missen.Meer weten over Arjan?

Hy het aan die Bose behoort en het sy broer vermoor. En waarom het hy hom vermoor? Omdat sy eie dade sleg was en sy broer s'n reg. Broers, moenie verbaas wees as die wêreld julle haat nie. ‘Liefde' is so 'n eenvoudige woord. En as jy dink hoe dit voel om liefgehê te word – deur jou geliefdes en deur God – is dit so 'n wonderlike ding. Dit oortref alles. Nou hoekom is dit dan dat ons so dikwels ‘n gemors daarvan maak?Ongelukkig is daar vandag baie mense in die wêreld wat glad nie geliefd voel nie; mense wat miskien eens op ‘n tyd liefde geken het, maar toe verwerp is. Ek was jare gelede in daardie aaklige situasie. Ek weet hoe ellendig en uitdagend dit voel. Ek wil aan enigiemand wat op hierdie oomblik só voel, vertel dat God se hart bedroef is oor jou situasie. Maar dit gaan nie net oor die tekort aan liefde waarvan ons praat nie; maar ons weet haat is die teenoorgestelde van liefde:1 Johannes 3:11-13 Dít is immers die boodskap wat julle van die begin af gehoor het: Ons moet mekaar liefhê. Moenie soos Kain wees nie. Hy het aan die Bose behoort en het sy broer vermoor. En waarom het hy hom vermoor? Omdat sy eie dade sleg was en sy broer s'n reg. Broers, moenie verbaas wees as die wêreld julle haat nie.Maar Augustinus het, teen die agtergrond van al die haat in die wêreld, gesê dat aangesien liefde in jou kan groei en meer word, jou innerlike skoonheid ook kan toeneem, want liefde is die skoonheid van jou siel.My vriend, te midde van al die haat, die verdeeldheid, en die liefdeloosheid in die lewens van so baie mense, kan ek en jy diegene wees deur wie die opregte liefde van God vloei. Soms is ons die enigstes. Wie wil God vandag oor jou pad stuur om lief te hê? Dít is immers die boodskap wat julle van die begin af gehoor het. Ons moet mekaar liefhê.Dit is God se Woord.

We suspect that most of you are familiar with some version of the phrase, “As an employee, it is important to be able to separate home from work.”  But just how accurate is that statement?  Is it truly the standard for company professionalism that we think it is?  And what if we told you that there is now a strong contingent of organizational and leadership experts that think this maxim has been taken to the extreme, and that, in fact, believe allowing the totality of an employee's human experience into the workplace actually contributes to greater and richer organizational performance?  Would you believe us?  If not, perhaps you will believe today's guest, Ms. Vanessa Broers, who joins us to discuss why human experience is so often left out of human performance and how the omission of human experience in the workplace is costing organizations dearly.

Het ondernemersverhaal van de broers Evert en Teun Antonissen van Table du Sud is opmerkelijk. Ze starten samen het interieurbedrijf in 2015. Evert deed een meubelmakersopleiding in Vlaanderen toen zijn broer, student international business in Tilburg, een bartafel nodig had. Evert: ‘Die heb ik toen in elkaar gelast en er houten panelen op gezet. Het was een simpel ding, maar we kregen er positieve reacties op.' Dit jaar verwachten de broers rond 27 miljoen euro omzet te gaan draaien. In onze podcast vertellen zij hun verhaal, leermomenten en hoe zij Table du Sud komende jaren verder gaan uitbouwen. De komende jaren denken ze te blijven doorgroeien. Vooral in Nederland en België, waar ze nog zelf blijven bezorgen. Host: Mark Timo www.deinterieurclub.com

In this podcast interview with Vanessa Broers, the discussion revolves around the challenges coaches face when it comes to selling their services. Vanessa provides valuable insights and practical advice on how to approach sales in a way that aligns with a coach's values and maintains authenticity.One: Shift in Perspective: Vanessa emphasizes that coaches need to shift their perspective on sales. Instead of viewing it as something inauthentic or manipulative, they should see sales as a means to help clients make empowered choices that align with their true desires.Two: Creating Safety: Building trust and safety in sales conversations is crucial. Coaches can achieve this by being loving, honest, and authentic in their interactions, thereby making potential clients feel respected and understood.Three: Integration with Coaching: Vanessa highlights that sales and coaching are not separate entities; they can complement each other. Coaches can use their coaching skills within sales conversations to help potential clients gain clarity and make informed decisions. Highlights:1. Many coaches find it challenging to sell their services because they associate sales with manipulation and pushiness.2. Vanessa discusses the disillusionment many coaches face when they realize they have to sell their services in addition to providing help.3. The fear of appearing pushy or manipulative in sales often prevents coaches from embracing the sales aspect of their profession.4. Vanessa introduces the concept of "sacred sales," which involves helping clients make empowered choices while being true to oneself.5. Sales, when done from a place of authenticity and respect, can be seen as a deep service rather than a transaction.6. Vanessa emphasizes the importance of taking it slow and acknowledging that learning to sell is a skill that requires time and practice.7. Sales conversations should focus on helping clients gain clarity on their desires, identify obstacles, and understand the consequences of inaction.8. Vanessa advises coaches to make potential clients feel respected, welcomed, and understood during sales conversations.9. The coach's role is to create an atmosphere of love, honesty, and authenticity, allowing potential clients to trust the process and themselves.10. Vanessa encourages coaches to approach sales with the mindset that they are already working with the potential client, fostering trust and transparency in the conversation.

In 1811, Napoleon stood at his zenith. He had defeated all his continental rivals, come to an entente with Russia, and his blockade of Britain seemed, at long last, to be a success. The emperor had an heir on the way with his new wife, Marie-Louise, the young daughter of the Emperor of Austria. His personal life, too, was calm and secure for the first time in many years. It was a moment of unprecedented peace and hope, built on the foundations of emphatic military victories. But in less than two years, all of this was in peril. In four years, it was gone, swept away by the tides of war against the most powerful alliance in European history. The rest of his life was passed on a barren island. This is not a story any novelist could create; it is reality as epic. Napoleon: The Decline and Fall of an Empire: 1811-1821 (Pegasus Books, 2023) traces this story through the dramatic narrative of the years 1811-1821 and explores the ever-bloodier conflicts, the disintegration and reforging of the bonds among the Bonaparte family, and the serpentine diplomacy that shaped the fate of Europe. At the heart of the story is Napoleon's own sense of history, the tensions in his own character, and the shared vision of a family dynasty to rule Europe. Drawing on the remarkable resource of the new edition of Napoleon's personal correspondence produced by the Fondation Napoleon in Paris, Michael Broers dynamic new history follows Napoleon's thoughts and feelings, his hopes and ambitions, as he fought to preserve the world he had created. Much of this turns on his relationship with Tsar Alexander of Russia, in so many respects his alter ego, and eventual nemesis. His inability to understand this complex man, the only person with the power to destroy him, is key to tracing the roots of his disastrous decision to invade Russia--and his inability to face diplomatic and military reality thereafter. Even his defeat in Russia was not the end. The last years of the Napoleonic Empire reveal its innate strength, but it now faced hopeless odds. The last phase of the Napoleonic Wars saw the convergence of the most powerful of forces in European history to date: Russian manpower and British money. The sheer determination of Tsar Alexander and the British to bring Napoleon down is a story of compromise and sacrifice. The horrors and heroism of war are omnipresent in these years, from Lisbon to Moscow, in the life of the common solider. The core of this new book reveals how these men pushed Napoleon back from Moscow to St. Helena. Among this generation, there was no more remarkable persona than Napoleon. His defeat forged his myth--as well as his living tomb on St. Helena. The audacious enterprise of the 100 Days, reaching its crescendo at the Battle of Waterloo, marked the spectacular end of an unprecedented public life. From the ruins of a life--and an empire--came a new continent and a legend that haunts Europe still. Learn more about your ad choices.

Armenia and Azerbaijan were once fellow Republics within the USSR, but in the Soviet Union's last days tension between them led to bloodshed and animosity that continues today. For decades, Russia played the role of peacekeeper in the region, but Putin's invasion of Ukraine has opened the door for a new wave of Azerbaijani attacks on Armenia and both sides say the other is to blame. Laurence Broers has spent the last twenty years working as a scholar and peacemaker in the region, and has built relationships with leaders in both countries. In this episode, Laurence joins Ben for a conversation about the history of the conflict, the state of affairs today, and the impact that the international community has (and can) have on the people and politics of the region. Dr. Laurence Broers is Associate Fellow at the Russia-Eurasia Program at Chatham House, and the author of the book Armenia and Azerbaijan: Anatomy of a Rivalry.
