In deze boeiende aflevering van de WAVCi Podcast gaat cybersecurity expert Eddy Willems in gesprek met Miguel De Bruycker, de Managing Directeur-Generaal van het Centrum voor Cybersecurity België (CCB). Samen duiken ze dieper in de uitdagingen en evoluties van de Belgische cyberveiligheid, zowel op nationaal als internationaal niveau.Hoe beschermt België zich tegen steeds geavanceerdere cyberdreigingen? Welke rol speelt samenwerking tussen overheid, bedrijven en burgers in het versterken van onze digitale weerbaarheid? En hoe ziet de toekomst van cybersecurity eruit?Een eerlijk, inhoudelijk en soms verrassend gesprek tussen twee zwaargewichten uit de Belgische cybersecuritywereld.Thema's in deze aflevering:Hoe België zich positioneert in de internationale cyberwereldWelke dreigingen het CCB dagelijks monitortWaarom samenwerking tussen overheid, bedrijven en burgers cruciaal isHoe we de Belgische burger beter kunnen beschermen tegen cyberaanvallenEen terugblik én een blik vooruit op onze digitale toekomstEnkele opmerkelijke quotes uit het gesprek:"We moeten mensen niet bang maken, maar wel alert. Cybersecurity is geen kwestie van angst, maar van gezond verstand en weerbaarheid." — Miguel De Bruycker"Je hebt geen veiligheid zonder bewustzijn. Technologie alleen gaat het niet oplossen." — Eddy Willems"Het CCB is er niet alleen voor de overheid. Onze missie is om alle lagen van de samenleving digitaal weerbaar te maken." — Miguel De BruyckerDe vraag van 1 miljoen Aan het eind van de aflevering draait Miguel de rollen even om en stelt hij dé (niet op voorhand gekende) vraag aan Eddy Willems: "Wat zou jij doen als jij morgen de leiding had over het CCB?" Eddy's antwoord? Eerlijk, doordacht en misschien een tikkeltje onverwacht. Mis het niet!Mis deze aflevering niet als je interesse hebt in digitale veiligheid, beleid en praktijkervaringen uit eerste hand.

Send us a textWhen Alex Troncoso speaks about brewing beer, his voice carries the weight of 32 years spent perfecting his craft across continents. As co-founder of Lost and Grounded Brewers in Bristol, his journey from Guatemala to Australia, Belgium, London, and finally Bristol reveals more than just a quest for the perfect pint—it's a story about finding home."Eventually you don't want to be different anymore," Alex recalls his late father saying, words whose wisdom only became clear after launching a brewery far from his Australian roots. This intimate revelation anchors a conversation that weaves through personal growth, craftsmanship, and the philosophy behind building something authentic in an increasingly homogenized world.Lost and Grounded isn't just a brewery—it's a manifestation of Alex and partner Annie Clements' values. Their flagship Keller Pils, an unfiltered lager inspired by Germany's hop fields, represents their commitment to simplicity and quality. "Brewing is where art meets science and has a beer," Alex explains, comparing their approach to the difference between mass-produced bread and artisanal sourdough—both bread, but worlds apart in character and soul.Perhaps most compelling is Alex's candid reflection on the mental toll of relentless achievement. After spending years defining himself through accomplishments, he discovered a liberating truth: "If you define yourself by achievements, what happens if you don't achieve? You feel terrible." This hard-won wisdom has led him to a place of unprecedented optimism, where the brewery's success is measured not just in sales but in balance and purpose.With their flying hippo logo representing humility and inclusion, Lost and Grounded has grown from seven people to thirty-five, weathering COVID and emerging stronger. As Alex puts it, "Without the people, this is just a shed full of stainless steel." It's this human-centered approach that makes their story resonate far beyond the world of craft beer.Discover how patience, passion and purpose combine to create something truly special in this thoughtful exploration of craft, community and finding your place in the world.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Howdy my friend! God bless you... this here is ❤️‍

Things Discussed: On early: Talkin Detroit Tigers. How this went down: Yax started with college as a fallback, Michigan visit shifted things. NBA side of it stayed—if anything the measurements at the Combine improved his NBA stock. But Michigan convinced him. Laid out the red carpet. Coaches went to the Combine to support him. Did we out-recruit the NBA? Yes, because the NBA wasn't recruiting him, and we are very good at recruiting. Good sign for the future: Dusty May knows how to convince a fringe NBA guy to come back to college. Going to have an advantage when they're the competition because we're always going to want these players more than the NBA for the same money. What does this do? Cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome. Danny measured 6'10.5, but Yaxel is 6'9", much better about turnovers, much better free throw shooter, better face-up guy, close to that level of defender. Team: Cadeau and Yaxel are your creators, need Cason to be a breakdown threat, need Gayle and Nimari to be your finishers, and then center is Johnson's defensive presence. Big Ten next year: Purdue is still #1, they are going to have a 7'3" guy from Belgium so they don't die whenever TKR gets in foul trouble. Michigan is in that tier with them. Proven shooting on this roster? Uh, Tschetter? Need three or four of Cason/Gayle/McKenney/Burnett/Grady to be that. Minutes? Cadeau most of them at the point with Cason taking some. McKenny backup up Gayle and Nimari at the SG spots, Tschetter backing up Lendeborg, Johnson/Mara at center. Upside: Team is all about creation: Cadeau, Lendeborg are creators, Gayle and Cason are secondary creators, McKenney has that upside. Rotation: 8+2 like Dusty likes. Think they'll work in the freshmen some but Goodman probably redshirts unless there's an injury, Grady gets maybe 10% of minutes as a spacer depending on how the others are shooting, Trey develops into a major part of the rotation by season's end but needs time to adjust. Defensively this team will be a nightmare to play against.

As one of the most illustrious rock stars of the sustainability movement, Tim Jackson suggests that we must “f**k the patriarchy” to get beyond capitalism. In his new book, The Care Economy, Jackson argues that our growth-obsessed capitalist economic system is fundamentally dysfunctional, prioritizing wealth accumulation over health and wellbeing. He advocates replacing GDP-focused metrics with care-based economics that emphasizes balance and restoration rather than endless expansion. Jackson critiques how Big Food and Big Pharma profit from making people sick then selling expensive treatments, creating a "false economy." Drawing a dotted line from Bobby Kennedy to RFK Jr., he sees health as the unifying political issue that will enable us to bridge traditional divides. five key takeaways 1. Redefine Prosperity as Health, Not Wealth True prosperity should be measured by health (physical, psychological, and community wellbeing) rather than GDP growth. Jackson argues that endless accumulation undermines the balance necessary for genuine human flourishing.2. The Food-Pharma Industrial Complex is a "False Economy" Big Food creates addictive, unhealthy products that cause chronic disease, then Big Pharma profits from treating symptoms rather than causes. This cycle generates GDP growth while systematically undermining public health.3. Care Work is the Foundation of All Economic Activity The predominantly female-performed labor of caring for children, elderly, and sick people is invisible to traditional economics but essential for society's functioning. This unpaid work must be recognized and valued.4. Individual Solutions Can't Fix Systemic Problems While people can make personal health choices, expecting individuals to overcome an engineered food environment designed to exploit human psychology is unrealistic. Systemic change is required.5. Health Could Unite Across Political Divides Unlike abstract environmental concerns, health is universally relatable and could serve as a rallying point for economic reform that appeals to both working-class and affluent communities.Tim Jackson is an ecological economist and writer. Since 2016 he has been Director of the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP). CUSP is a multidisciplinary research centre which aims to understand the economic, social and political dimensions of sustainable prosperity. Its guiding vision for prosperity is one in which people everywhere have the capability to flourish as human beings—within the ecological and resource constraints of a finite planet. Tim has been at the forefront of international debates on sustainability for three decades and has worked closely with the UK Government, the United Nations, the European Commission, numerous NGOs, private companies and foundations to bring economic and social science research into sustainability. During five years at the Stockholm Environment Institute in the early 1990s, he pioneered the concept of preventative environmental management—a core principle of the circular economy—outlined in his 1996 book Material Concerns: Pollution Profit and Quality of life. From 2004 to 2011 he was Economics Commissioner for the UK Sustainable Development Commission where his work culminated in the publication of his controversial and ground-breaking book Prosperity without Growth (2009/2017) which has subsequently been translated into twenty foreign languages. It was named as a Financial Times ‘book of the year' in 2010 and UnHerd's economics book of the decade in 2019. In 2016, Tim was awarded the Hillary Laureate for exceptional international leadership in sustainability. His book Post Growth—life after capitalism (Polity Press, 2021) won the 2022 Eric Zencey Prize for Economics. His latest book The Care Economy was published in April 2025. Tim holds degrees in mathematics (MA, Cambridge), philosophy (MA, Uni Western Ontario) and physics (PhD, St Andrews). He also holds honorary degrees at the University of Brighton in the UK and the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts, the Academy of Social Sciences and the Belgian Royal Academy of Science. In addition to his academic work, he is an award-winning dramatist with numerous radio-writing credits for the BBC.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Does AI have a role to play in mapping and predicting climate migration trends? In this episode of the podcast, we explore the issue with John Aoga, a postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain in Belgium. He led a study using machine learning algorithms to trace how climate shocks affected migration intentions in several countries in West Africa. We discuss his findings and the broader promise and peril of using these types of technologies to map and predict migration flows.

In this shocking episode, I discuss a case out Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium.   In 2023, SSgt Wright was driving from Belgium to the Netherlands, when she failed to yield, hitting a woman on a bicycle. The woman was Faride Khoshnoud Fashandi. She later passed from her injuries and her husband became enraged. When the Dutch authorities relinquished authority over the case, handing the case to the U.S. to pursue, he decided to take the law into his own hands. 9 months later, he attacked SSgt Wright with a kitchen knife. This is the shocking true story of how one negligent act spawned a retaliatory attack. ⸻

In the heart of Belgium's Sonian Forest, a chilling legend persists beyond the trees. Known as "De Ogen" or "The Eyes" in Dutch, this is no mere ghost story—it's a spectral terror that haunts in the fog, its hollow gaze watching those who dare travel within the forest's winding paths after dusk.

Hello to you listening all over America on this Memorial Day our nation's foremost day of remembrance.Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.On this solemn day of reflection we honor and mourn the men and women who sacrificed their lives for their country in peacetime and war. Today we are at war. Our Democracy, our constitution, our rule of law, and even our people are under assault. Is there reason to fight, to hope? You bet there is!The first weeks of Churchill's Prime Ministership were clouded by the fall of France and the surrender of the Belgian Army, with repercussions for the Western alliance. To delay the German advance towards Britain, Churchill ordered expeditionary forces to retreat towards the port of Dunkirk to allow an Allied evacuation that lasted for nine days. Churchill's descriptions of events were more akin to a war reporter than a political statesman as he explained in great detail to his fellow members the bravery and ingenuity of the British forces in the face of the German war machine. Despite the success of the operation there was still a loss of over 30,000 men and vast amounts of artillery.Yet in the face of such adversity and sacrifice Churchill used his voice and his unshakeable determination to make a rallying cry to not just his fellow countrymen but also the beleaguered French in this historic speech delivered to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 4, 1940: “We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!”Click HERE to listen to Churchill's voice and take in the unforgettable images that fortified his words.Click HERE to access the Transcript of Churchill's speechClick HERE to access: The Miracle of Dunkirk Click HERE to access the 85th anniversary of the evacuation of Dunkirk with 64 of the original Little Ships heading back to the Dunkirk beaches.CTA: As you go about your day keep in mind that we Americans are not lost as long as we organize and fight together.

Can you imagine how insights acquired in a field artillery battalion at the Battle of the Bulge can instruct us regarding the proper use of Biblical apologetics? Dr. John Whitcomb takes us back to Belgium, in December of 1944, to make this connection for us in a simple yet profound way. It is Part Three of his testimony, called "The Conversion of an Evolutionist." Dr. Whitcomb is using illustrations from his own life to show us how God's Word is true from the beginning to the end—and to teach presuppositional apologetics. Host Wayne Shepherd sets the stage for the third part of this important message, as we continue our series on "Basic Biblical Distinctions." Dr. Whitcomb first presented this sermon to the congregation at Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Ind. Whitcomb Ministries thanks this church for allowing us to broadcast it through the radio ministry of "Encounter God's Truth."

During the 15th-century, citizens of Nuremberg, Germany, experienced spectacular Carnival parades highlighted by the appearance of floats known as "hells."  Featuring immense figures, including dragons, ogres, and man-eating  giants, these hells were also peopled with costumed performers and enhanced with mechanized effects and pyrotechnics. In this episode, adapted from a chapter of Mr. Ridenour's new book, A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival, we examine the Nuremberg parade, the Schembartlauf, as it evolves from costumed dance performances staged by the local Butcher's Guild in the mid-1 4th-century into a procession of fantastic and elaborately costumed figures, and finally -- in 1475 - into a showcase for the rolling hells. We begin, however, with an examination of a historical anecdotes sometimes presented as forerunners of  the Carnival parades, and of the Schembartlauf in particular, including two sometimes put forward to support a "pagan survival" theory.  The first involves a ceremonial wagon housing a figure of the putative fertility goddess, Nerthus, hauled about by Germanic peoples in the first century and mentioned in Tacitus' Germania.  The second, also involving a wagon with fertility figure, is described by Gregory of Tours as being hauled through farmers' fields in the 6th-century. Period illustration of costumed figure from a Schembartbuch. Period illustration of costumed figure from a Schembartbuch. A third case involves the mysterious "land-ship," a full-scale wheeled ship hauled from Germany into Belgium, and the Netherlands in 1135. Mentioned exclusively by the Flemish abbot, composer, and chronicler Rudolf of St. Trond in his Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium (Deeds of the Abbots of Trond), it's characterized by the abbot as a sort of pagan temple on wheels and locus of orgiastic behavior, the precise purpose and nature of this peculiar incident remains largely a mystery. We then hear a comic incident imagined in the early 13th-century story of the knight Parzival as told by Wolfram von Eschenbach. By way of analogy to the character's ludicrous behavior, Carnival is mentioned for the first time, or more specifically von Eschenbach use the German word for Carnival, specifically the Carnival of Germany's southwest called "Fastnacht." Our story of the Schembartlauf concludes the show with a description of its ironic downfall through local intrigues fired by the Protestant Reformation. Worth mentioning also, in our Schembart segment, is the heated scholarly debate around objects depicted in period illustrations, which look for all the world like oversized pyrotechnic artichokes. New Patreon rewards related to Mr. Ridenour's Carnival book are also announced in this episode, along with related Carnival-themed merch in our Etsy shop, including our "Party Like it's 1598" shirts featuring Schembart figures.

While Matt is on assignment looking for VfB's next big steal from Belgium, Ted and Travis take a break from the usual program and break this week's episode into four topics - the Frauen's meteoric rise to the second tier, VfBII's surviving in the third tier, VfB's win that kept RBL out of Europe for the first time in that club's history (!), and of course, the final match in all of Germany, the Pokal final versus the city that apparently doesn't exist. As nervous as they are, the guys look at the history between these two clubs and the advantages both sides bring into this one and why they're hoping history from almost three decades ago repeats itself!

*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. Lars de Wildt. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 'Gates of Argonath' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. Lars de Wildt. Lars is Assistant Professor in Media and Cultural Industries at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies, at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.Lars studies how media cultures and industries make contemporary worldviews. Examples are how media industries construct 'global' culture and how local audiences consume it; how Western game developers sold religion to secular audiences; how online platforms birth conspiracy theories; and how Western videogames adapt to Chinese players and policies.His first book,  The Pop Theology of Videogames: Producing and Playing with Religion was published Open Access with Amsterdam University Press. Lars was part of the AHRC-funded project "Everything Is Connected: Conspiracy Theories in the Age of the Internet," was previously a (visiting) researcher at the universities of Leuven, Heidelberg, Bremen, Tampere, Jyväskylä, Montréal, and Deakin, and is working on an NWO Veni project about how the hegemonic worldviews of Western videogames adapt to Chinese players and policies. He is also a Member of YARN (Young ARts Network), anEssay-editor of Tijdschrift Sociologie/ Sociology Magazine, a Fellow at the Centre for Religion, Conflict and Globalization, at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, a Member of Faculty of the Consultative Body for Teaching Policy (FOO), and a Research Fellow at the Institute for Media Studies, at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium.In this interview, Lars discusses his book The Pop Theology of Videogames: Producing and Playing with Religion. In it, he is offered up the question by a game designer, “what does religion have to do with video games, anyway?” This question opens our discussion on the relationship between games and religion, the differences between developers and players approaches to gaming, how video games can affect players' worldviews, and how role-playing games can potentially contribute to a sense of personal identity. These are just a few of the points Lars covers in this interview. PROGRAM NOTESDr. Lars de Wildt - dr. L.A.W.J.

All foreign investors combined, from central banks to private investors, increased their holdings of Treasury securities by $233 billion in March from February, and by $942 billion over the past 12 months, to a record $9.05 trillion (red in the chart). The majority of what they bought were long-term Treasury securities, which increased by $133 billion to a record $7.63 trillion, according to data by the Treasury Department Friday afternoon (blue in the chart). The buying was across the major holders, except for China and Hong Kong combined, and for Ireland. Of particular note: Canada's holdings of Treasury securities spiked majestically in February and March, despite the tariffs and the ultra-sour mood in Canada about US-anything. Increases in March, and total Treasury holdings: United Kingdom: +$29 billion, to $779 billion Luxembourg: unchanged, at $412 billion Cayman Islands: +$37 billion to $455 billion Ireland: -10 billion to $329 billion Belgium: +$7 billion to $402 billion Switzerland: +$21 billion to $312 billion.   Source: wolfstreet.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1923470842089902157 Moody's downgrade of US rating may not dent stock markets much: Analysts Global financial markets may not react much to Moody's Ratings downgrade of United States' rating from AAA to Aa1, believe analysts, except for a knee-jerk reaction, if any. At the domestic level, Indian stock markets would be focussed more developments such as progress of monsoon, corporate results and economic data.

The European Union isn't just complicit in the U.S. empire — it's helping drive it. In this episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek speaks with Marc Botenga, a Belgian Member of the European Parliament with the Workers' Party of Belgium, about how Europe became a willing footsoldier for NATO's wars, U.S. economic domination, and Israel's genocide in Gaza.Botenga doesn't mince words. He calls Europe's role in Gaza a European genocide. He explains why supporting peace in Ukraine is taboo, how censorship is expanding under the pretext of fighting antisemitism, and why some of the European left is drifting into militarism.As one of the only anti-imperialist voices in Brussels, Botenga breaks down what it means to resist from within the halls of EU power, how “green colonialism” is dressed up as climate policy, and why hope, and international solidarity, still matter.Watch the full interview and support independent journalism: https://www.patreon.com/BreakthroughNews 

On this episode of Destination on the Left, Laurel Greatrix and I explore why today's travelers are seeking out the experience first and planning trips around it. She shares the top types of experiences that travelers are searching for and explains why they allow visitors to explore a destination more deeply. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why today's travelers are increasingly planning trips around experiences rather than destinations, and what this shift means for destination marketers What types of travel experiences are trending right now, from outdoor adventures to immersive, small-group offerings like cooking and craft classes How Viator supports both large and small experience operators and helps them reach wider audiences through powerful distribution partnerships Why authenticity matters in travel experiences and how travelers are seeking unique, non-mass market interactions to go deeper into destinations What roles collaboration and strategic partnerships play in Viator's business model, including the relationship with TripAdvisor and broad third-party distribution The Experience-First Shift in Travel Planning Historically, travel planning centered around destinations, accommodations, and flights. Travelers picked a location, locked in their hotel, and then considered what activities to do once on site. But according to Laurel Greatrix, Vice President of Marketing at Viator, the world's largest travel experiences marketplace, that approach is rapidly evolving. Increasingly, travelers are first setting their sights on unique and memorable experiences and building their trips around them. What sets the experiences sector apart isn't just its offline-heavy operation or diversity, but the sheer pace of its growth. Since the pandemic, demand has soared for outdoor and active experiences, with destinations like Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and Banff seeing impressive spikes in bookings. Simultaneously, activities such as cooking classes and craft workshops are seeing consistent double- and even triple-digit growth rates. These trends show travelers craving meaningful engagement with destinations, a trend accelerated by the global prioritization of health, wellness, and authentic encounters. Authenticity and Personalization “Authentic” is a buzzword often used in travel, but as Laurel points out, it means something different to every traveler. Viator's data shows that while classic attractions, think the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower, remain bucket-list essentials, growth is skewing toward bespoke, local, and hands-on experiences. Travelers increasingly seek opportunities to connect with local culture, meet passionate guides, and try their hand at activities like perfume making in Paris or chocolate crafting in Belgium. For marketers and operators, this means a growing need to communicate what makes their experiences unique, accessible, and “authentic.” Reviews, detailed product descriptions, and visually rich content can help set expectations and attract customers seeking depth over breadth. Collaboration in the Experiences Ecosystem Viator's success is rooted in collaboration, internally and through partnerships. Its acquisition by TripAdvisor shows how powerful collaborations can transform an entire market segment. By powering bookings across thousands of partner sites ranging from airlines to travel agencies and even Amazon, Viator helps even the smallest operators achieve global reach. Collaboration also extends to working with destinations and other experience providers. By joining forces, they can disperse visitor traffic, reduce overcrowding at major sites, and promote lesser-known experiences that contribute to local economies and more sustainable tourism practices.
