Er ist zurück! Der Genfer Bestsellerautor Joël Dicker hat mit seinem neuesten Roman «Ein ungezähmtes Tier» zu seiner früheren Bestform zurückgefunden. Und die deutsche Autorin Lucy Fricke begeistert mit dem lebensbejahenden Roman «Das Fest». Der Genfer Krimi-Autor Joël Dicker erzählt in «Ein ungezähmtes Tier» eine trickreiche Meisterdieb-Geschichte, die mit grosser Raffinesse geschrieben ist. Sie beginnt in Genf. Etwas ausserhalb der Stadt lebt ein beruflich erfolgreiches Paar. Er ist Banker, sie Anwältin. Die beiden befreunden sich mit einem finanziell weniger gut gestellten Paar. Er Polizist, sie Verkäuferin. Das Leben der beiden Paare entwickelt sich zu einer Vier-Ecks-Beziehung aus Eifersucht und Begehren. Doch dann ereignet sich ein Juwelenraub, der alles verändert. Mit diesem Krimi laufe Joël Dicker endlich wieder einmal zur Hochform auf, meint Annette König, die das Buch mit an den Literaturstammtisch bringt. Ein Mann wird 50 und will nicht feiern. Er hat das Gefühl, im Leben nichts erreicht zu haben. Bestsellerautorin Lucy Fricke schreibt in «Das Fest» diesen Mann «aus der Krise». Sie stellt ihm eine beste Freundin an die Seite, die zum Geburtstag heimlich scheinbar zufällige Begegnungen mit Menschen organisiert, die dem Mann einmal wichtig waren. Ein Buch, das wie ein Slapstick daherkomme und voller überraschender Wendungen sei. Und ein Buch, das das Leben und die Liebe feiere, sagt Franziska Hirsbrunner. Sie empfiehlt es in der heutigen Sendung. Buchhinweise: · Joël Dicker. Ein ungezähmtes Tier. 432 Seiten. Aus dem Französischen von Michaela Messner und Amelie Thoma. Piper, 2025. · Lucy Fricke.

Democracy Works host Michael Berkman, director of the McCourtney Institute for Democracy and professor of political science at Penn State talks with Christopher Claassen, a political scientist at the University of Glasgow, about how to measure support for democracy across countries and across generations. Claassen grew up in South Africa and was 16 when the country held its first democratic elections. His interest in democracy continued through college and into his career as a political scientist. Today, he is a professor of political behavior at the University of Glasgow. One area of his research focuses on how to measure support for democracy. In a recent paper, he and colleagues developed 17 survey questions that cover all eight components of liberal democracy as defined by the V-Dem project in an effort to refine what people mean when they say the support or don't support democracy.Berkman and Claassen also discuss how support for democracy is part of the 2024 U.S. election.

Das Berlin der Zukunft ist eine Insel, umgeben von einer hohen Mauer und nichts als dem Meer. So hat es sich die Schriftstellerin Anne Reinecke ausgedacht. In ihrem zweiten Roman "Hinter der Mauer der Ozean" ist unsere Gegenwart nur noch "die Alte Zeit". Die Natur hat sich die Stadt zurückgeholt. Nur noch fünf Menschen leben hier. Zum Beispiel in einem Hangar auf dem ehemaligen Flughafen Tempelhof. Heute sind die früheren Start- und Landebahnen eine große Freifläche mitten in der Stadt. In ihrem Roman lässt Anne Reinecke hier Büffel grasen. Im echten Leben kommt die Schriftstellerin oft aufs Tempelhofer Feld, um nachzudenken und zu schreiben. Beim Spaziergang mit Nadine erzählt sie, warum sie eine Dystopie geschrieben hat, warum das Bild des ertrunkenen Flüchtlingsjungen Alan Kurdi im Text auftaucht, und dass das Tempelhofer Feld ihr einen ganz besonderen Moment im Leben geschenkt hat. Die Autorin: Anne Reinecke wurde 1978 in Meißen geboren, fünf Jahre vor dem Mauerfall reisten ihre Eltern mit ihr in den Westen aus. Sie ist Kunsthistorikerin und hat viele Jahre als Stadtführerin in Berlin, Potsdam und in der Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen gearbeitet. 2018 erschien ihr erster Roman "Leinsee" über eine Liebe im Künstlermilieu. Das Buch: Anne Reinecke: "Hinter den Mauern der Ozean", Diogenes, 240 Seiten. Buchtipps: Katharina Peter: "Erzählung vom Schweigen", Matthes & Seitz, 244 Seiten. Bov Bjerg: "Der Vorweiner", Claassen, 240 Seiten. Bernhard Kegel: "Gras", Dörlemann, 384 Seiten.

WORLD PREMIERE!"The Gift": song by Robert Miller and  arrangement by Michael Abene.I originally wrote "The Gift" as a love song ballad on the occasion of the birth of my first granddaughter. My band, Project Grand Slam, recorded and released  the song in 2015 on our "Made In New York" album.In April 2024 Michael Abene was a guest on this podcast. Michael is a Grammy winning arranger and composer who has done arrangements for Germany's WDR Radio Big Band, the Maynard Ferguson Big Band, the GRP All-Star Big Band and many others. He's a true giant in his field. After the interview I asked Michael to listen to the original recording of "The Gift" and see if he might be inspired to come up with something new and different. Michael came back with a Big Band arrangement of the song written as a Samba, with horns.The new version was recorded at EastSide Sound by Lou Holtzman, my longtime studio/engineer, and features me and my Project Grand Slam band mates playing on the rhythm track, plus five horns.

Ist eine Frau ohne eigene Kinder unvollständig? Dieses Gefühl wird Marie-Claire und Anahita jedenfalls ständig vermittelt. Durch ihr Umfeld, die Medien, die Gesellschaft. Beide sind fast 40, erfolgreich, selbstbewusst und unabhängig, aber ständig werden sie bemitleidet, denn sie sind kinderlos und die berühmte biologische Uhr tickt, wenn es nicht sogar schon zu spät für sie ist Mutter zu werden. Aber was wollen sie selbst? Und was passiert, wenn plötzlich eine einfache Pille Frauen mehr fruchtbare Zeit verschafft? Jackie Thomae entwirft in ihrem neuen Roman "Glück" ein Panorama von Frauenleben am Wendepunkt. Eine wichtige Szene spielt im Haus des Rundfunks und weil Orte und Worte an die Schauplätze der Romane oder an Orte geht, die für die Autorin oder den Autor wichtig sind, sind Nadine und Jackie diesmal hier unterwegs.

Um die Jahrtausendwende war Utz Claassen auf dem besten Weg deutscher Spitzenmanager zu werden. Er war unter anderem Chef des Energiekonzerns EnBW und Top-Manager bei Seat. Ihm wurde eine Top-Karriere prophezeit. Auch, dass er mal an der Spitze eines namhaften Dax-Konzerns stehen würde.Doch als er 2007 bei EnBW raus war, ging es für Claassen nicht mehr weiter bergauf. Also gründete er 2008 das Medizin-Startup Syntellix, das mit sich auflösenden OP-Schrauben einen Milliardenmarkt erobern sollte.Stattdessen stürzte der einstige Top-Manager ab. Gegen Verantwortliche seiner Firma wird wegen Insolvenzverschleppung ermittelt, gegen Claassen liegen Haftbefehle vor. Kayhan und Josh Groeneveld, Investigativreporter bei Business Insider, haben sich für diese Geschichte auf Claassens Spuren begeben, haben Dokumente, Briefe, Mails und SMS ausgewertet, Gerichtsakten und zahlreiche Interviews mit Insidern geführt. In dieser Folge sprechen sie über die intensive Recherche zu dem Fall.

Nederland heeft de grootste medicijntekorten van heel Europa. Hoe kan dat? En vooral: hoe lossen we het op? Dat onderzoeken we in BNR Beter. Te gast zijn Aris Prins, voorzitter van de apothekersvereniging KNMP en René Claassen, Tweede Kamerlid namens de PVV en woordvoerder zorg.  Natuurlijk, als er wereldwijd te weinig grondstoffen zijn om medicijnen te maken, dan zijn er direct wereldwijd medicijntekorten. Daar kunnen Nederlandse bestuurders weinig aan doen. Logistiek Als het vervoer van medicijnen van China of India naar Europa wordt bemoeilijkt door een blokkade in het Suezkanaal of trammelant in de Rode Zee, dan zit heel Europa met een medicijntekort. Daarom klonk tijdens de coronapandemie de roep om meer medicijnfabrieken naar Europa te halen. Echter, dat zou betekenen dat de medicijnproductie moet gaan voldoen aan Europese milieuwetgeving, en dat zou medicijnen toch flink duurder maken. Dus daar wordt nog niet veel haast mee gemaakt.  Preverentiebeleid En toch blijkt er los van logistiek íets in het medicijnbeleid van Nederland te zitten waardoor Nederland veel vaker met een geneesmiddelentekort kampt dan andere Europese landen. Grote boosdoener volgens KNMP: het preferentiebeleid. Doordat zorgverzekeraars per middel één fabrikant uitkiezen en dus maar één fabrikant vergoeden, wordt de markt heel kwetsbaar. Met een beetje geluk kiezen de vier grote zorgverzekeraars vier verschillende fabrikanten, maar bij 37 middelen kozen ze allemaal voor één fabrikant. Het is voor niet-preferente fabrikanten heel moeilijk om de middelen rendabel op de markt te houden. Het risico is dus dat niet-preferente middelen van de Nederlandse markt verdwijnen, en dat die fabrikanten zich helemaal terugtrekken uit deze toch al kleine markt. Als er dan iets mis gaat bij de preferente-fabrikanten, dan wordt de Nederlandse markt gelijk geraakt.  De vraag is wel óf dit gebeurt, hoe vaak en met welke economische- en gezondheidsschade. Hierover heeft KNMP geen cijfers. Er is een tekort aan epilepsie-medicatie, aan Parkinson medicijnen. Recent was er een tekort aan astma-medicatie voor kinderen. Vooral als het kinderen raakt, is de politiek alert.  PVV René Claassen van de PVV wil graag dat er een nationale reserve komt. Een reservoir aan geneesmiddelen, waar apothekers die zonder zitten aanspraak op kunnen maken. De minister van VWS antwoordde hierop dat dat logistiek niet kan. Daarnaast wil Claassen dat het preferentiebeleid aangepakt wordt. Zorgverzekeraars zouden minder op de details afspraken moeten maken en bijvoorbeeld liever twee of drie geneesmiddelen als preferent moeten aanwijzen. Zouden deze voorstellen wel lukken als de PVV een zorgminister zou leveren?  Zelf geneesmiddelen maken In de reportage is Paul Lebbink te horen. Hij is een van de weinige apothekers in Nederland die nog zelf medicijnen maakt in de apotheek. Voor zijn eigen patiënten - maar die kunnen overal vandaan komen. Redacteur Sterre ten Houte de Lange bezocht het laboratorium en keek over de schouder van apothekersassistent Katlien mee terwijl ze capsules maakt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Springbok Captain Wynand Claassen has mauled the South African government for its sluggishness in updating anti-doping regulations. This blunder could've had the Proteas and Springboks playing without their national flag. In a candid interview with BizNews, Claassen is incredulous that the Department of Culture and Sport allowed two international competitions to proceed without sorting out these crucial regulations. He doesn't hold back on SA and World Rugby Boards either, slamming the Springboks' "Chappie" kit worn during the Rugby World Cup. Following an open letter to World Rugby, Claassen and his "partner-in-crime," former Bok captain Tommy Bedford, launched a blistering attack on the so-called "Gin and Tonic Board Room Brigade." Claassen asserts that World Rugby administrators live differently from professional rugby's gritty reality. The maze of rules they have introduced drives fans and aspiring rugby stars away from the sport. For the sport's excessive yellow and red cards, he offers a bold alternative to reduce head clashes and make the game safer for players. Claassen also calls on ex-players and seasoned captains who genuinely grasp the game to have a louder voice in shaping its future. Regarding his ongoing battle to declare Newlands Stadium in Cape Town a heritage site, he is not backing off, much like he did during his rugby-playing days as an indomitable eighth-man

Palm Springs has seen its share of glamour, from the Hollywood celebrities who made the place their playground last century to the musicians and entertainers who kept the party going.

Whether a patient will ultimately recover from an unconscious state after brain injury isn't easy to predict– yet. But Dr. Jan Claassen is working to change that. He describes the staggering revelations of his study on Cognitive Motor Dissociation, and how his team used a combination of widely available diagnostic tools and open source machine learning algorithms, to detect signs of consciousness in seemingly unconscious patients. Dr. Claassen also discusses his ongoing RECONFIG study, in which he hopes to refine tools that could predict the likelihood of recovery in patients following brain injury. For more information visit nyp.org/Advances

She recognizes that every second of operation comes with a potential risk, but by creating a robust safety culture and implementing comprehensive training programs, frontline team members can effectively mitigate these risks. By prioritizing safety in all aspects of the business, the chances of accidents or incidents can be significantly reduced, ultimately leading to a safer and more enjoyable experience for guests.   Gina has developed a three-step plan for managing "Risk Appetite," which involves identifying the risks, evaluating the current practices in place, and determining whether they are effective or require changes. To delve deeper into these subjects, it's essential to work collaboratively as a team. These concepts are applicable at every stage of the process, from design and construction to operation. By implementing this approach, the team can continually assess and improve safety practices, ensuring that all potential risks are identified and managed effectively so that Herschend can continue to provide safe, wholesome family fun.   Lifelong Learning   "We're all lifelong learners."   Herschend's GROW U program provides a tremendous benefit to its employees, offering 100% free tuition to more than 11,000 individuals. Gina identifies the driving forces behind this initiative as the company's belief that everyone wants to learn, and their commitment to personal and professional growth.    As an educator herself, Gina recognizes the importance of learning, so she can  regularly be found teaching at events such as AIMS and IAAPA. Through her involvement in educating others about safety in the industry, Gina continues to learn and grow as a professional. While she deeply values the opportunity to learn, she has also grown accustomed to being a voice for safety within the industry. Balancing Tension   "We have to balance the tension to get the results we want."   To be a leader in safety, Gina says the greatest attribute is loving the challenge. When it comes to balancing tension and making tough choices, Gina claims that one of the most important aspects is being in a room full of different viewpoints. By building a team that shares these unique ideas, the tension of the decisions can be balanced in new and unique ways.    Another big aspect of balancing tension is remembering the big picture. By remembering that the end goal is to provide wholesome family fun, the conversation moves from a tense environment to a more fun, open minded conversation. By implementing these tactics and properly balancing the tension, the results are more than favorable.  To connect with Gina, you can find her on LinkedIn.

Matthew 5:21-37 Deuteronomy 30:15-20

Dr. Jonathon Sullivan and Noah Hayden continue their Barbell Health podcast series, this time discussing exercise modification for seniors. John Claassen, their 93-year old client, shares his inspiring story. You can check out more of Sully's work on the Greysteel YouTube channel. Exercise Modification for Seniors Seniors, athletes of aging, masters athletes - whatever you you call them - can and should strength train. Coaches may need to modify exercises to meet their ability. Modifications may be as simple as lighter weights or broom sticks. Lifters may need to deadlift kettlebells or sit up from a chair. They may not be able to press or even bench press, but they can still train. John Claassen's Inspiring Story John Claassen shares his inspiring story of how he began barbell training at 89. Like many seniors, he saw the risks and limitations that came from a lack of muscle mass and strength. He looked into exercise, connected with Sully, and eventually came to deadlift 250 pounds. Exercise modification for seniors can be applied to his specific case. He sat down and up out of a chair instead of squatting. He had to perform incline bench press as opposed to bench press or overhead press. Instead of deadlifting a barbell, he deadlifted a kettlebell. Finally, he curled with a broomstick to begin.

Gradually remove words from the end of the verse (e.g. "Be still and know that I am.") until you are left with simply "Be." Have a great week! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
