Podcasts about Klerk

Episode 213 with Sander de Klerk, CEO and Founder of The Good Roll, a fast growing ecosystem reshaping the global paper industry through circular production, ethical sourcing, and socially inclusive solutions rooted in Africa.Recently named EY Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year 2024, Sander is building far more than a sustainable consumer brand. What began as The Good Roll, producing tree friendly toilet paper from recycled paper, has evolved into a fully integrated value chain anchored in Ghana. At the heart of the model is bamboo pulp production, working with thousands of farmers and creating hundreds of jobs while supplying sustainable raw materials to producers across Africa and Europe.Sander explains how The Good Roll is challenging traditional extractive trade models by retaining value at source and positioning Africa as a serious player in global manufacturing. From building production capacity in Ghana to connecting African processing with European markets, he shares the realities of scaling industry across continents. We explore why sanitation must be viewed not only as a public health issue but as a foundational economic priority, and how sustainability can move from being perceived as a cost to becoming a competitive growth strategy.What We Discuss With SanderThe future of Africa in global manufacturing and how circular production models can increase value retention on the continent.The commercial case for bamboo as a scalable industrial input in sustainable packaging and paper production.How sanitation infrastructure links directly to economic participation and workforce productivity.Designing impact driven businesses that balance ESG commitments with profitability and investor confidence.New financing pathways for African industrial ventures beyond traditional bank lending.Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss How Africa Can Become a Global Remote Work Hub: AI, Employer of Record & The Future of Work?

This Day in Legal History: Nelson Mandela ReleasedOn February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from Victor Verster Prison in South Africa after 27 years of incarceration, marking a seismic shift in the country's legal and political landscape. Mandela's release followed a period of secret negotiations between the apartheid government and the African National Congress (ANC), and it signaled the beginning of the end of apartheid—a system of institutionalized racial segregation and oppression upheld by law. His imprisonment had become a global symbol of the fight against racial injustice and was frequently challenged by international human rights organizations and legal scholars as a violation of fundamental human rights.Mandela had been convicted in 1964 of sabotage and other charges under South Africa's Suppression of Communism Act, following the infamous Rivonia Trial. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, spending much of his sentence on Robben Island under harsh conditions. Over the decades, growing international sanctions and internal unrest made apartheid increasingly untenable.Then-President F.W. de Klerk's government began rolling back apartheid legislation in the late 1980s, and on February 2, 1990, de Klerk announced the unbanning of the ANC and his intention to release Mandela. Just nine days later, Mandela walked free, delivering a speech in Cape Town that emphasized reconciliation, peace, and the continuation of the struggle for full democratic rights.Mandela's release was not just a political milestone—it was a legal one, too. It reflected a move away from laws based on racial supremacy and toward a constitutional order grounded in human rights. This transformation would culminate in South Africa's 1996 Constitution, often lauded for its rights-based framework and independent judiciary.The Trump administration's plan to repeal the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding—the scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act—could reignite legal efforts to hold polluters accountable through public nuisance lawsuits. That finding enabled the EPA to regulate emissions from vehicles and power plants, but its reversal removes the legal framework that had previously shielded companies from such claims under a 2011 Supreme Court ruling. In that decision, the Court held that the EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act displaced common-law nuisance suits against emitters. Without that EPA oversight, legal scholars believe plaintiffs may now argue that the courts are once again an appropriate venue for these claims.Public nuisance lawsuits, typically filed by states or municipalities, seek to hold companies accountable for harms caused to community health and safety. These cases have been historically difficult to win due to challenges in proving direct causation, but experts say the new regulatory gap could encourage a wave of litigation. Industry groups like the Edison Electric Institute have warned that repealing the endangerment finding could expose utilities to costly legal battles. While federal courts had largely blocked such claims, state courts have shown more openness, and the shift in federal policy may strengthen these legal efforts. Environmental advocates may now have renewed leverage to push power companies and other emitters into court.Trump's repeal of climate rule opens a ‘new front' for litigation | ReutersAttorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee this week amid intensifying legal scrutiny over the Justice Department's management of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Lawmakers are expected to question Bondi about what they view as excessive redactions and the DOJ's withholding of key documents, actions that may conflict with a bipartisan federal law passed in 2025 mandating the broad release of Epstein-related materials. Legal analysts suggest the DOJ's reliance on legal privileges—such as investigatory and deliberative process exemptions—to justify redactions could face stiff challenges in court or through congressional oversight powers.The situation raises constitutional tensions between legislative oversight and executive privilege, particularly as the House panel, now under Republican control, examines whether the DOJ is shielding politically sensitive information. Some members of Congress have accused the Department of undermining transparency and potentially violating the statutory intent of the Epstein Disclosure Act, which narrowed the DOJ's discretion in withholding records tied to convicted sex offenders or deceased suspects like Epstein.Bondi's DOJ has been accused of prioritizing partisan enforcement over institutional neutrality, illustrated by failed prosecutions of Trump critics and an aggressive posture on immigration and protest-related cases. The sidelining of the DOJ's civil rights division and the refusal to investigate federal shootings has further fueled concerns over selective enforcement and erosion of prosecutorial independence. Bondi's testimony will serve as a key moment to defend the Department's use of legal redactions and its broader approach to politically charged prosecutions.Bondi to face questions on Epstein files in House testimony | ReutersInstagram chief Adam Mosseri is set to testify in a Los Angeles courtroom this week in a groundbreaking lawsuit that could reshape how U.S. law approaches the intersection of product design and youth mental health. The case centers on a 20-year-old plaintiff who alleges she became addicted to Instagram as a child due to its deliberately addictive interface—particularly the “endless scroll” feature that loads content continuously to hold user attention. Her lawyers argue that Instagram's design choices amount to a form of negligent product engineering that failed to account for known risks to children.This case raises novel legal questions: Can user interface (UI) design be treated as a defective product under tort law? Can tech companies be held liable not just for content but for the architecture of the platforms themselves? If the court accepts these arguments, it could establish precedent for treating addictive design as a public health harm similar to tobacco or opioid marketing practices.Mosseri is expected to face questioning over internal documents that, according to the plaintiff, show Meta was aware of the app's mental health impact on vulnerable teens. Meta counters that these documents reflect efforts to mitigate harm, not evidence of negligence. Still, the case may test the limits of Section 230 immunity, as it focuses not on third-party content, but the platform's own design—potentially sidestepping the traditional legal shield for tech companies.Hundreds of similar cases are pending, and this trial may serve as a bellwether for litigation nationwide. International developments, including Australia's ban on social media for children under 16, suggest this is a growing legal frontier.Instagram's leader to testify in court on app design, youth mental health | ReutersNovo Nordisk's recent patent infringement lawsuit against Hims & Hers marks a pivotal legal development in the pharmaceutical industry's battle with telehealth providers distributing compounded drugs. The suit, filed in Delaware federal court, targets Hims' sales of compounded semaglutide—the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic—claiming these formulations infringe Novo's patents. While compounding is allowed under certain FDA exemptions, those exemptions do not shield pharmacies or telehealth platforms from patent liability. This case challenges the assumption that FDA compliance protects against infringement claims, exposing a gray area where regulatory and intellectual property regimes collide.Historically, brand-name drugmakers focused on trademark challenges over how compounded drugs were marketed. Novo's move into patent litigation signals a strategic escalation: it's not about branding anymore—it's about the act of making and selling the compound itself. Experts highlight that this is likely the first time a brand drug company has pursued patent claims directly against a compounding pharmacy or telehealth distributor, suggesting the industry now sees these entities as substantial commercial threats.The case also underscores a novel enforcement strategy: suing the telehealth platform facilitating sales rather than the dispersed network of compounding pharmacies, streamlining legal action and potentially setting precedent for centralized liability. Hims, already under regulatory scrutiny, had just halted plans to sell compounded semaglutide pills but remains a target due to its involvement in injectable forms.The outcome of this case may clarify how FDA-sanctioned compounding intersects with patent protections and could define the boundaries for how far telehealth companies can go in offering customized versions of patented drugs.Novo's GLP-1 Patent Suit Against Hims Takes Aim at Compounding This is a public episode.

Es importante destacar que las legumbres son todos aquellos cultivos donde el propósito final es la obtención del grano seco, como por ejemplo, guisantes, frijoles y arroz. Pero se excluyen aquellos cultivos que se cosechan verdes, como los guisantes verdes o judías verdes, ya que estos entran en el ramo de las hortalizas. En realidad las legumbres tienen muchas ventajas para el desarrollo agrícola del mundo y para el desarrollo alimentario de las personas: Alto valor nutritivo: las legumbres son uno de los pocos alimentos vegetales ricos en proteínas, lo cual permite que personas de bajos recursos que no tengan acceso constante al consumo de carne, lácteos o huevos, logren consumir proteínas de origen vegetal. Otra ventaja es que los granos son bajos en grasa y ricos en fibras, lo que reduce el colesterol y los niveles de azúcar en sangre, evitando la aparición de enfermedades no trasmisibles como la diabetes o problemas cardiovasculares. Además, también ayuda a frenar la obesidad. 1805.- El rey Carlos IV firma una Real Cédula por la que se prohíbe la celebración de las corridas de toros en España. 1921: Se produce la reapertura de las Cortes españolas tras el cambio de gobierno. 1929: Se disputa la primera jornada de la primera Liga Española de Fútbol. 1930: El general Miguel Primo de Rivera abandona el país. 1939: Juan Negrín regresa de Francia a Alicante (España) para continuar la resistencia contra la dictadura franquista. 1942: En India, el líder pacifista Mahatma Gandhi inicia una huelga de hambre para protestar contra su detención. 1947.- Firma en París de los tratados de paz que pusieron fin a la II Guerra Mundial. 1965: En España se prepara una edición del Quijote ilustrada por Salvador Dalí. 1990: En Sudáfrica, el presidente Frederik de Klerk anuncia que el líder negro Nelson Mandela será liberado al día siguiente.

Donald Trump is precies één jaar terug in het Witte Huis. En in die twaalf maanden tijd kwam hij op ramkoers te liggen met bondgenoten, instituties en regels die decennialang vanzelfsprekend leken. Denk daarbij aan de wereldwijde handelsoorlog, militair ingrijpen in Venezuela, een breuk met Europa en het maximaal oprekken van zijn presidentiële macht. We kijken terug op het afgelopen jaar, en kijken wat dit voor ons betekent. Amerika staat niet langer aan onze kant, dat is nog eens glashelder geworden nu Trump opnieuw met importheffingen is gekomen. Deze keer vanwege de kwestie-Groenland.

AfriForum sê die waterstelsel is in 'n krisis, met munisipale ineenstorting, lekkende infrastruktuur en onbetaalde rekeninge wat watertariewe opjaag. Onlangse verslae deur waterrade toon dat munisipaliteite in KwaZulu-Natal daagliks meer as 1 miljard liter water verloor, wat meer as 6 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand per jaar kos. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum het die Nasionale Tesourie en die Departement van Water en Sanitasie versoek om onmiddellik op te tree deur lekkasies te herstel, aanspreeklikheid af te dwing en oplossings vanuit die gemeenskap te ondersteun om inwoners se watersekerheid te beskerm:

Der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine sorgt nicht nur für menschliches Leid. Er verursacht auch erhebliche Umwelt- und Klimaschäden. Der Klimaexperte und Autor einer umfassenden Studie zu dem Thema, Lennard de Klerk, spricht mit Host Stefan Niemann über den CO2-Austoß des Krieges. Der betrage 237 Millionen Tonnen – nach den ersten drei Kriegsjahren. Am meisten Treibhausgase entstünden durch den Treibstoffverbrauch des Militärs. Dazu kommen Emissionen, die durch brennende Wälder, beschädigte Energie-Infrastruktur und umgeleitete Flüge verursacht werden. Der Niederländer de Klerk erläutert darüber hinaus, welche Klimaschäden in Friedenszeiten entstehen, zum Beispiel durch Manöver. Schätzungen zufolge sei das Militär für 5,5 Prozent des weltweiten CO2 Ausstoßes verantwortlich, so der Experte. In der Ukraine geht die systematische Zerstörung der Energieversorgung durch Russlands Terror- und Zermürbungstaktik weiter. Mitten in einem Selenskij-Interview gingen in Kyjiw die Lichter aus. Schwierig bleibt die Lage auch an der Front, vor allen in der heftig umkämpften Stadt Pokrowsk, wie Kai Küstner erklärt. Die ukrainische Führung habe die existenzielle Entscheidung zu fällen, wann der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Rückzug sei, um eine Einkesselung zu vermeiden. Kaum jemand zweifelt daran, dass Pokrowsk fällt, die Frage ist nur wann und wie. Gleichzeitig hat Präsident Selenskyj mit innenpolitischen Problemen zu kämpfen. Ein Korruptionsskandal im Energiesektor erschüttert das Land. Kai berichtet auch über neue Drohnen-Sichtungen – diesmal in Belgien – und den aktuellen Stand in Sachen neuer Wehrdienst. In dieser Woche wollen die Koalitionsfraktionen eine Einigung erzielen.

Keeper is een eigenzinnige indiegame van Double Fine, de studio bekend van Psychonauts en bijdragen aan diverse hoog aangeschreven artistieke games. In dit geval speel je een vuurtoren op pootjes in een hypnotiserende wereld. Wat dat je daar van kunt vinden, hoor je van Luc de Klerk in gesprek met Joe van Burik in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Keeper is nu te spelen op Xbox Series S en X en Windows pc. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universitair docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AfriForum sê 'n nuwe verslag deur die Departement van Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake bevestig wydverspreide ineenstorting van munisipale regering regoor die land. Die prestasie-oorsig van 2023 tot 2024 toon dat baie munisipaliteite die huidige finansiële jaar betree het met onbefondsde begrotings, stygende skuld aan Eskom en waterrade, en gebrekkige infrastruktuur. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum sê inwoners het te kampe met onbetroubare watervoorsiening, rioolstortings en verbrokkelende paaie namate politieke kaping en wanbestuur verdiep.

A month ago India's women's team looked uncertain. There were early wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan but then came bruising losses to England, Australia and South Africa. That sparked some stern words in the dressing room. What followed was a transformation that saw India stun Australia while South Africa routed England. In the final 21-year-old Shafali Verma, recalled just two weeks ago, smashed 87 and took two wickets while Deepti Sharma's fifty and record five wickets anchored India's win. South Africa, led by 26-year-old Laura Wolvaardt with Nadine de Klerk and Marizanne Kapp, kept up the fight. Has this final redrawn women's cricket map dominated by Australia and England? And will India's win finally bring the resources and respect women's cricket has long been denied?

India's World Cup has been a mix. Some matches went well. Others, not so much. The regular batters haven't quite clicked. The bowling still lacks variety. Five reliable options weren't enough to trouble South Africa or Australia. With tough games against England, New Zealand and Bangladesh coming up, India will need a new strategy.This World Cup has also been about inter-team relationships. Harmanpreet Kaur and Alyssa Healy fight hard on the field. But off it, there's banter and respect. A two-year-old clip shows Ellyse Perry, Australia's pace-bowling allrounder, talking with Pakistan's 23-year-old captain Fatima Sana. She's learning control. You see curiosity and the game passing from one player to another.Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu leads by example. She pushes her team to believe in themselves. Fans cheer her because she earns it, not because she shouts or poses.From the stands, The Hindu's Anirudh Velamuri sees it all—the tension, the laughs and moments like when Nadine de Klerk, South Africa's captain, gesticulates and talks to herself. Now, the question is whether India can find the spark to turn the tables on an unbeaten England in the upcoming match?

Diese Woche mit Verena Kern und Susanne Schwarz. Bezeichnungen wie Wurst, Steak, Burger sollen künftig für vegane oder vegetarische Alternativen verboten sein. Dafür hat in dieser Woche das EU-Parlament mit deutlicher Mehrheit gestimmt. Der Antrag kam von der konservativen EVP-Fraktion. Besiegelt ist das "Veggie"-Verbot damit noch nicht. Die EU-Staaten müssen noch zustimmen. Kritik kommt von (fast) allen Seiten. Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine ist auch für das Klima eine Katastrophe. Das zeigt ein neuer Bericht der "Initiative zur Treibhausgasbilanzierung von Kriegen" um den niederländischen Klimaforscher Lennard de Klerk. In den ersten drei Kriegsjahren wurden demnach rund 240 Millionen Tonnen CO2-Äquivalente zusätzlich verursacht – so viel wie Österreich, Ungarn, Tschechien und die Slowakei gemeinsam in einem Jahr freisetzen. Wir schlüsseln auf, wie diese Emissionen entstehen. Aus erneuerbaren Energien wird weltweit mittlerweile mehr Strom erzeugt als aus Kohlekraft. Und die globale Energiewende nimmt weiter Fahrt auf: Bis zum Jahr 2030 wird sich die installierte Kapazität mehr als verdoppeln, heißt es in einer neuen Prognose der Internationalen Energieagentur. Das auf der Weltklimakonferenz von 2023 vereinbarte Ziel, die Kapazität erneuerbarer Energien bis 2030 im Vergleich zu 2022 zu verdreifachen, wird damit aber nicht erreicht. -- Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender:innen unterstützt. Wenn auch du dazu beitragen willst, geht das HIER https://www.verein-klimawissen.de/spenden. Wir danken hier und jetzt - aber auch noch mal namentlich im Podcast (natürlich nur, wenn ihr zustimmt).

Die regering hersien weer sy beleggingswet om 'n enkele raamwerk te skep en beleggersvertroue te verhoog. Dit is aangekondig op die kantlyn van die 80ste VN Algemene Vergadering deur president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Eben de Klerk van die Vereniging vir Ekonomiese Beleidsnavorsing, wat sê die huidige wetsontwerp is 'n absolute mislukking wat daarop gemik is om 'n klein groepie polities verbinde elites toe te laat om die ekonomie te "kaap". Hy twyfel of die nuwe wet 'n verbetering sal wees.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Vincent Magwenya, Presidential Spokesperson, about growing tensions surrounding the National Dialogue initiative, which President Cyril Ramaphosa has championed as a pivotal moment for national unity. Several prominent civil society organisations – including those associated with Steve Biko, Desmond and Leah Tutu, Oliver Tambo, and FW de Klerk – have withdrawn from the process, citing a rushed timeline, lack of preparation, and perceived government control. The Thabo Mbeki Foundation, once thought to be instrumental in engaging stakeholders, is now being blamed for driving the withdrawal of these key players. Magwenya addresses the fallout and its implications for the President’s leadership. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê die Nasionale Dialoog sal op 15 Augustus voortgaan ten spyte van die onttrekking van ses groot stigtings, insluitend dié van Thabo Mbeki, Steve Biko en FW de Klerk. Die groepe beskuldig die regering dat hulle beheer oorneem oor wat 'n burgergeleide proses behoort te wees en wil hê dat die geleentheid uitgestel word. Ramaphosa sê egter die meeste van die 750 genooide organisasies het bywoning bevestig, en beklemtoon Suid-Afrikaners wil hê die dialoog moet voortgaan:

In a world increasingly disconnected from nature, architects like Nick De Klerk are pioneering a transformative approach to design that reconnects humans with their fundamental need for natural environments. "Access and proximity to nature are a basic human need," Nick emphasizes, drawing from his childhood experiences growing up close to nature.Biophilic design is about creating moments of awe, surprise and wonder. Nick describes these as "unexpected transitions" that take your breath away - moving from a constrained, dark space into a light-filled, plant-abundant area that immediately transforms your sensory experience. These moments of awe are critical, creating what he calls a "transformational experience" where people don't just occupy a space, but are fundamentally changed by it.We also talk about how we can preserve Heritage while embracing nature. The key to sustainable design lies in respecting existing structures. "The greenest building is one that already exists," Nick quotes, highlighting Purcell Architects' philosophy of working with heritage buildings. Their approach isn't about wholesale replacement, but sensitive enhancement - improving thermal performance, integrating natural elements, and maintaining the building's historical character.I wanted to explore also, the hotel concept they created for HIX, the Hotel Interiors Experience trade show. Nick and his team developed a concept around the idea of integrating food production, sustainability, and hospitality within a historic agricultural hall. They imagined this beautiful historical building transformed into a living, breathing space where guest rooms overlook a lush interior landscape. Vertical farming, natural light, and community spaces merge to create an environment that reconnects people with food production and natural cycles creating not just a sensory experience but also a community connection. It's about creating spaces that are "not just practical, but experiential" - where texture, light, and living elements combine to create profound human experiences. "People want to learn something or feel they've benefited from a space," he explains.When asked to imagine a world transformed by biophilic design, with a “magic brush of Biophilia” Nick's vision is profound. Cities reimagined as forests, where every element plays a crucial part in sustenance and survival. Not just literally with more trees, but metaphorically - creating interconnected, diverse, and mutually supportive environments.This approach isn't just about aesthetics. It's about recognising our deep, intrinsic connection to nature and creating spaces that allow humans to truly flourish. Biophilic design isn't a trend - it's a return to understanding our fundamental relationship with the natural world. As we face increasing environmental and health challenges, design can be a powerful tool for reconnection, sustainability, and hope.To watch the video with Nick de Klerk and Shida Salehi, Founder Customs Bureau and Yasmin Saad interior designer from Customs Bureau on the HIX Glass House Urban Retreat concept:https://vimeo.com/1023008814/ba6c8c1448The HIX Interview ahead of the event: https://www.hixevent.com/news/hix-co-present-hotel-bdc-purcell-x-glass-house-urban-retreatDuring the London Festival of Architecture, Nick De Klerk will be leading a tour on Sunday, June 14th that explores the Victorian industrial heritage of the area around the Business Design Centre (formerly the Royal Agricultural Hall).The tour will include several stops that highlight historical urban contexts and connections, such as:1. Postman's Park - a site of historical wellness with a beautiful water source2. Angel area - exploring the high pavements that were originally designed to separate pedestrians from livestock being driven to Smithfield Market3. Ending at the Business Design Centre (Royal Agricultural Hall)The tour is based on the HIX project concept and aims to:- Engage the wider public with architecture- Explore hidden urban histories- Discuss how historical spaces can be reimagined- Provide insights into the area's rich industrial and social heritageThe London Festival of Architecture is valuable because it focuses on people who use buildings, not just professionals who design them. The tour will offer refreshments and an opportunity for the public to interact directly with architects and learn about the urban landscape's history and potential future.To join the London Festival of Architecture walk that Nick is organising see the LFA website: https://www.londonfestivalofarchitecture.org/event/islingtons-business-design-centre-past-present-and-future/Purcell's news piece on the installation: https://www.purcelluk.com/news/purcell-idle-and-wonder-and-customs-bureau-to-pres/Design Insider's review of the concept in their 2024 Trend Report (pages 26-27): https://www.purcelluk.com/news/purcell-idle-and-wonder-and-customs-bureau-to-pres/ For more information on Purcell visit: https://www.purcelluk.com To read the Hotel issue visit: https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/shop/journal-of-biophilic-design-issue-11-hotels-leisure-ebook-versionHave you got a copy of the Journal?

This Day in Legal History: National Referendum on ApartheidOn March 17, 1992, South Africa took a decisive step toward dismantling apartheid through a historic national referendum. White South African voters were asked whether they supported the government's efforts to end apartheid and negotiate a new, democratic constitution. An overwhelming 68.7% voted in favor, signaling broad support for ending over four decades of racial segregation. This referendum provided then-President F.W. de Klerk with the political mandate to continue negotiations with the African National Congress (ANC) and other groups. The result was a major victory for the anti-apartheid movement, which had long fought against the country's system of institutionalized racial oppression.The referendum was limited to white voters, who had historically benefited from apartheid, making their approval a crucial moment in South African history. It paved the way for the country's first multiracial elections in 1994, in which Nelson Mandela was elected president. With this, South Africa officially transitioned from an apartheid state to a democracy, enshrining equal rights for all citizens. The vote also marked the beginning of legal reforms that led to the adoption of a new constitution in 1996. While the end of apartheid did not immediately erase economic and social inequalities, the referendum remains a defining moment in the country's legal and political history. It demonstrated that legal systems, even when designed to uphold injustice, can be reformed through democratic means.A federal judge ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must reinstate probationary employees it had recently terminated. As a result, the agency is bringing back those workers, along with most term employees, and providing them with back pay. However, term employees with more than two years of service were not reinstated. The CFPB had initially fired 70 enforcement attorneys and up to 100 other employees after acting Director Russell Vought took over in February. The judge's decision is part of a broader legal battle over federal workforce reductions, with similar rulings affecting multiple agencies. Despite this setback, the Trump administration remains committed to deep staffing cuts across federal agencies, with reduction plans already submitted to the Office of Personnel Management. The firings had faced opposition from the National Treasury Employees Union, which reached an agreement with the CFPB to pause additional terminations while another court considers an injunction. The reinstatement process has been messy, with workers unsure of their status and vendor contracts disrupted. However, legally mandated CFPB functions, such as consumer response, are being prioritized for restoration.CFPB Brings Back Probationary Employees After Judge's RulingTrump has escalated his attacks on major law firms, this time targeting Paul Weiss, a firm known for representing top financial institutions and engaging in high-profile pro bono work. His executive order directs federal agencies to cut ties with companies that are Paul Weiss clients and suspend the firm's lawyers' security clearances. The move follows similar actions against Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling. Paul Weiss has deep ties to Wall Street, with clients including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Apollo Global Management. Some of these corporate leaders have criticized Trump's tariff policies, potentially influencing his decision to go after the firm.Trump's order highlights Paul Weiss's past work, including its involvement in a lawsuit against the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over the January 6 Capitol riot. The firm has a long history of civil rights advocacy, from Brown v. Board of Education to LGBTQ+ and voting rights cases. Critics argue Trump's actions are politically motivated, targeting firms with Democratic connections while ignoring their bipartisan donor base. A federal judge previously blocked a similar order against Perkins Coie, and Paul Weiss is expected to mount a strong legal challenge. However, even if the order is overturned, the chilling effect is real—firms risk losing business from clients wary of crossing Trump. Some industry experts believe this could push law firms to unite against political interference, but whether collective action emerges remains uncertain.Trump Fights Paul Weiss as Wall Street Seeks President's EarTrump targets law firm Paul Weiss in order restricting government access | ReutersThe Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants despite a federal judge's order blocking the move. The deportations targeted alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang, whom the administration labeled as “terrorists.” The White House dismissed the court's authority, arguing that a single judge could not override the president's powers on immigration and national security. Judge James Boasberg had ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify the deportations was unlawful, as the law applies only to conflicts “commensurate to war.” Despite this, flights carrying the migrants landed in El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele publicly mocked the judge's ruling and confirmed the men were being imprisoned.Legal experts, including the ACLU, argue the administration is in open defiance of the court and may have violated constitutional checks and balances. The White House claimed that some migrants had already been deported before the judge's order, but it remains unclear if others were removed afterward. Critics see this as an unprecedented challenge to judicial authority, while Trump defended the deportations, calling the migrants "bad people" and insisting the situation amounted to war. The legal battle over these actions is expected to continue, with calls for the U.S. government to reverse any unlawful removals.Trump administration deports Venezuelans despite court order, says judge has no authorityThe White House is taking an unprecedented role in overseeing the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations, with Vice President JD Vance leading the process. Instead of a traditional investment bank managing the auction, Vance's legal team is directly engaging with bidders and advising on their offers. President Trump has emphasized his control over the sale, claiming multiple groups are interested, while also suggesting the U.S. government could take a 50% stake in TikTok's American assets.The sale process is highly unusual, lacking a defined valuation or clear asset structure, and ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, has shown minimal engagement. Potential buyers, including investors like Frank McCourt and Kevin O'Leary, face an April 5 deadline to reach a deal. However, Beijing's involvement and the possibility that ByteDance could simply shut down TikTok in the U.S. add further uncertainty.While the U.S. government has previously intervened in corporate deals for national security or economic stability reasons, experts question whether TikTok meets such criteria. Trump, who initially sought to ban TikTok, has since acknowledged its role in helping him gain young voters. The app's sale price remains uncertain, largely depending on whether its valuable recommendation algorithm is included. With intense competition among bidders and political interests shaping the process, the outcome remains unpredictable.The White House's unusual role as dealmaker in TikTok sale | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes this weekend, I lay out what I reckon is the Trump administration's plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration's proposal to eliminate taxes for individuals earning under $150,000 sounds appealing at first but carries severe consequences. Social Security and Medicare rely heavily on payroll taxes, which most workers in this income range pay more than income taxes. If these taxes are removed, the programs will be starved of funding, leading to either massive deficit spending, extreme benefit cuts, or a shift to regressive taxes like sales taxes. The proposal, combined with extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), would disproportionately benefit the wealthy while leaving the middle class to shoulder the remaining tax burden. The TCJA already made corporate tax cuts permanent while setting individual cuts to expire by 2025, favoring the rich. If this new plan moves forward, those earning just above $150,000 could become the last major tax-paying bracket, while state and local taxes would likely rise to compensate. The ultra-wealthy, who benefited the most from previous tax cuts, are unlikely to pick up the slack. Rather than a tax break for workers, the proposal appears to be a backdoor attempt to dismantle entitlement programs. If no one is paying in, no one gets benefits out—a reality Trump's allies don't want to admit.Trump Administration's No Taxes Under $150k Proposal Is A Disaster This is a public episode.

In today's episode, we venture into the mystical realm of dreams with Machiel Klerk, a renowned expert in dream incubation and interpretation. Dreams, as universal experiences, connect us to our subconscious and perhaps even to a greater cosmic intelligence. They offer guidance, reflect our deepest thoughts, and sometimes provide answers to unspoken questions.Machiel Klerk is a master of dream incubation, an ancient practice where one asks a specific question before sleep to receive guidance through dreams. His book, "Dream Guidance," explores this powerful technique, emphasizing that dreams are not just symbolic messages but interactive environments where our beliefs and an external, mysterious force co-create our experiences. According to Klerk, dreams are a world in which we engage, offering us profound insights and guidance.Dream incubation involves posing a precise, heartfelt question before sleep, inviting the dream world to provide answers. This method can address various aspects of life, from personal growth to practical decision-making. For instance, one might ask, "How can I find inner peace?" or "What is my true calling?" The key lies in asking the right question, reflecting a genuine desire for self-discovery and understanding.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSDreams as a Path to Self-Realization: By engaging with our dreams and interpreting their messages, we uncover hidden aspects of our psyche, gaining insights into our true selves. This aligns with the ancient Greek concept of the daimon, a guiding spirit helping us realize our potential and fulfill our unique purpose in life.The Power of Questions: The quality of questions we ask in both waking life and before sleep significantly impacts the guidance we receive. A well-formulated question can unlock profound insights, steering us toward our true path. This principle applies not only in dream work but also in everyday life, where asking the right questions leads to greater clarity and purpose.Building a Relationship with the Dream World: Treating the dream world and its inhabitants with respect and intention enhances the guidance we receive. Writing down dreams, reflecting on them, and acknowledging the insights they provide deepens our connection to our higher self and the larger consciousness, leading to more frequent and meaningful dream experiences.Klerk emphasizes that our dreams are co-created by our beliefs and an external mysterious force. This understanding transforms our perception of dreams and their potential to guide us. Nightmares, often feared and misunderstood, can be seen as messages from discarded aspects of ourselves needing integration rather than rejection.One profound example Klerk shares involves a client struggling with dating after a long marriage. By asking his dream, "What is my biggest obstacle in dating life?" he received a dream showing him driving through a tunnel, mistaking a beautiful tiger for a threat, and backing out in fear. This metaphor revealed his tendency to retreat from potential intimacy, helping him address his fears and move forward.To consistently receive guidance from dreams, Klerk suggests developing a relationship with your higher self or spirit guides.This involves regular communication, expressing gratitude for the guidance received, and treating the dream world with respect. Writing down dreams and reflecting on them shows the higher self that you value its messages, encouraging more frequent and clearer guidance.In conclusion, dreams offer a gateway to deeper self-understanding and connection with the larger consciousness. By asking the right questions and building a respectful relationship with our dreams, we tap into a wellspring of wisdom and guidance. This process enriches both our dream life and waking life, leading us toward a more authentic and fulfilling existence.Please enjoy my conversation with Machiel Klerk.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Die Economic Policy Research Association, EPRA, het 'n verslag vrygestel met die titel, "Satelliet internet en Namibië se rompslomp: 'n nasie wat agtergelaat is." Die verslag ontleed die wetlike, ekonomiese en regulatoriese probleme waarmee Namibië se telekommunikasiesektor te kampe het. Dit identifiseer drie beduidende bekommernisse: Cran se statutêre regulatoriese benadering, staatsbeheerde operateurs se oorheersing, en hindernisse. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Eben de Klerk, 'n navorser by EPRA, gesels, sê het Namibië benadeel homself as gevolg van 'n paar wat wil baat by internasionale maatskappye wat die Namibiese mark betree.

On Energy Evolution this week, Eklavya Gupte and Rosemary Griffin examine the often-overlooked environmental ramifications of military conflicts as we mark the third anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war. Lennard de Klerk, who has studied the climate impact of this war, gives us some insights into how warfare, fuel consumption, forest fires, attacks on energy infrastructure and the estimated costs of rebuilding Ukraine have led to a surge in greenhouse gas emissions. As concerns around the climate costs of war have intensified, there have been wider calls for military emissions to be calculated and included in international reporting. We speak to Patrick Bigger, research director at the Climate and Community Institute, and Benjamin Neimark, a senior lecturer at the School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London, to learn more about the growing carbon footprint of militaries globally. Energy Evolution has merged with Platts Future Energy, and episodes are now published on Tuesdays.

Clement Manyathela hosts visually impaired persons; Christo de Klerk, Anna Mohale and Roedolph Britz about some of the obvious and not so obvious challenges they face.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Serving Mandela to Investigating Global Arms Deals  . War and the threat of global annihilation have never made sense to me. Yet, we as a species keep doing it. However, war does make a rather dark sense when we examine its anatomy of meaning. The "why's" of war are ruthless, and it's vital that we, as citizens of the planet, awaken to how we are being manipulated not only into being sent to war but paying out of our own pockets to do so.  . Private and powerful economics are behind every conflict, including the latest ones in Gaza and Ukraine. There is a highly profitable machine that feeds on death, devistation, war, and suffering. Our guest for the next four episodes has spent decades investigating and exposing this Shadow World. . That's where we are heading with our guest for this series on The Shadow World of Global Arms Deals with Andrew Feinstein. He is a former ANC Member of Parliament who served under Nelson Mandela in South Africa. He is the author of The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, which has been made into a feature-length documentary. Andrew is a former ANC Member of Parliament who sat at the negotiation table with F. W. de Klerk, leader of the apartheid government. In the end, Nelson Mandela became the future leader of South Africa, and apartheid was dismantled. Andrew Feinstein continued to serve as a member of Parliament under Nelson Mandela.   . Andrew Feinstein is a fascinating man with a fascinating story. He has made it his life's work to confront injustice and corruption that we, everyday citizens, are conned into financing.   .
