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?

Die uiters goeie reën oor die afgelope paar dae oorheers die plaaslike nuustoneel met Namibiërs wat juig. Die grootste sukses is natuurlik die kritieke Hardapdam wat miljoene kubieke meter water ingeneem het – die Vis stel mos nooit teleur nie... Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met die voorsitter van die Hardap-boerevereniging, Dawie de Klerk.
Die Hardapdam wat om 2-uur vanmiddag op 38,5 persent vol gemeet is, het gestyg na 40,9 persent om 4-uur. Water invloei het effe afgeneem maar stroom steeds in teen 980 kubieke meter per sekonde. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Dawie de Klerk, voorsitter van die Hardap Boerevereniging.
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.

Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari: A Spirituality & Personal Growth Podcast
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.

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.

AfriForum kritiseer die planne van die Departement van Water en Sanitasie om munisipale skuld van 22,36-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan waterrade af te skryf. Die voorstel laat munisipaliteite toe om skuld te laat afskryf indien hulle 'n gedeelte betaal en bestaande faktuurverpligtinge nakom. Volgens die organisasie beloon die plan swak bestuur. AfriForum-woordvoerder, Lambert de Klerk, waarsku die privaat sektor sal noodgedwonge by munisipale dienste betrokke moet raak indien sake nie verbeter nie:
NamWater het bevestig dat besproeiing by die Hardap groenskema op Maandag, 20 januarie hervat sal word. Die dam het goed water gevat het en onlangs van 5,5 persent vol na 16,5 persent geklim.

Dawie de Klerk, die voorsitter van die Hardap Boerevereniging, het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus bevestig dat die water vanoggend deur die stelsel begin loop het.

Une loi est censée mettre en place cette exemption, mais le processus d'application est bloqué depuis des années. « Ici, nous avons une tablette en métal avec un stylet. C'est ainsi que l'on écrivait en braille à l'époque. Ensuite, nous avions cette petite machine manuelle. Mais c'est vieux, on n'utilise plus ça aujourd'hui », explique Ofentse Manyane. Aujourd'hui, ces anciennes machines à écrire en braille sont des pièces de musée. Ofentse Manyane nous emmène dans l'atelier de l'association.« Cette machine imprime 1 000 pages par heure », précise-t-il face à une grosse machine connectée à un ordinateur. Les pages en braille sortent les unes après les autres. « Là, par exemple, c'est un livre politique pour le Botswana, car on imprime pour toute l'Afrique, pas seulement l'Afrique du Sud », confie Ofentse Manyane.Cette activité est néanmoins perturbée par les droits d'auteur, nécessaires à chaque conversion en braille. Christo de Klerk, président de l'association, détaille : « Neuf fois sur dix, nous n'avons pas les droits, et nous ne pouvons pas convertir. Ce n'est même pas qu'on nous les refuse, mais dans 90% des cas, ils ne se donnent même pas la peine de répondre à notre demande de droits. »À lire aussiL'invention du brailleUne lueur d'espoir face à ce combatAprès des années de combat et de déception, vient l'espoir : un nouveau projet de loi sur la protection des œuvres stipule que, pour une conversion en braille, il n'y a plus besoin de demander les droits. Seulement, cela bloque côté politique : depuis 2017, le projet de loi enchaîne les allers-retours entre le parlement et le Conseil constitutionnel.« La section 19D stipule exactement ce que nous avons toujours demandé. Mais la loi n'a toujours pas été promulguée, car les politiques n'arrivent pas à se mettre d'accord sur d'autres points de cette loi. Et nous, nous sommes les otages de ces désaccords », développe Christo de Klerk.« Seulement 0,5 % des œuvres sont disponibles en contenu accessible. Et automatiquement, ça réduit notre accès à l'éducation », déplore Jace Nair, PDG de Blind S.A. « Quand j'étudiais l'espagnol par exemple, j'ai demandé la conversion d'un livre très important. Mais nous n'avons pas réussi à obtenir les droits. Résultat : j'ai dû abandonner mes études d'espagnol », reprend Christo de Klerk. Huit ans donc que Blind S.A. milite pour que cette loi soit enfin signée. Pour convertir n'importe quel ouvrage en braille en toute liberté, sans en demander systématiquement les droits d'auteur.À lire aussiFrance: les livres en braille accessibles pour la première fois au tarif d'un livre classiqueÀ lire aussiBraille: l'association Valentin-Haüy veut diversifier l'offre pour les aveugles

Dawie de Klerk, die voorsitter van die Hardap Boerevereniging, het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus bevestig dat besproeiing by die groenskema teen einde volgende week hervat sal word, met 'n 20 persent besparing. Produsente sal dus 80 persent van hul normale watergebruik ontvang, sodra die papierwerk en voorbereiding van die stelsel afgehandel is. Dit kom na die Hardapdam goeie invloei gehad het en tans op 16,5 persent staan. Die produsente het meestal boontjies en mielies vir kuilvoer aangeplant met min kommersiële mielies, omdat daar onsekerheid was oor of hulle sal kan besproei. De Klerk het meer.

Die Oud-Soldaatkomitee in Namibië hou Saterdag, 16 November om drie-uurvergadering by die Rehoboth-skougronde. Voorsitter Lukas de Klerk het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels en sê dat Jabulani Ndeunyema, voorsitter van Namvet, die sambreelliggaam vir voormalige SWATF/Koevoet-soldate terugvoering sal gee oor voortgesette pensioenkwessies met Sanlam Namibië, maar voor onafhanklikheid.
AfriForum eis die Stad Johannesburg moet begin om waterlekplekke te herstel en voortdurend die waternetwerk onderhou. In 2023/2024 het die metro 46,2-persent van die watervoorraad geklassifiseer as nie-inkomste, wat beteken dit gaan verlore weens lekkasies of word nie voor betaal nie. Johannesburg Water wil waterverbruik verminder tot 175-liter per persoon per dag. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum sê die waterkrisis is die gevolg van die ANC se swak munisipale en provinsiale bestuur.
Die Vereniging vir Ekonomiese Beleidsnavorsing, Epra, veroordeel die Namibië Statistieke Agentskap ten sterkste vir die weerhouding van kritieke indiensnemingsdata van die 2023-sensus, en beskou dit as 'n skending van deursigtigheid en 'n poging om die nadelige uitwerking van regeringsbeleid op ekonomiese groei en indiensneming te verdoesel. Epra het sedert 2016 voortdurend kommer geopper dat sekere regeringsbeleide en onlangse regstellende aksie-regulasies werkloosheid vererger het. Die vereniging doen 'n beroep op die regering om deursigtigheid te prioritiseer en beleid te aanvaar wat volhoubare ekonomiese ontwikkeling en werkskepping bevorder. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Eben de Klerk, 'n navorser by Epra, wat meer deel.
AfriForum het ʼn veldtog bekendgestel wat munisipaliteite in Gauteng sal dwing om die 72-uur-spertyd om waterlekkasies reg te maak, na te kom. Rand Water het weens ʼn toename in aanvraag ʼn vlak een-waterbeperking tot Maart volgende jaar in die provinsie ingestel. AfriForum-woordvoerder Lambert de Klerk sê die veldtog is daarop gemik om Dag Zero in die provinsie te voorkom en die verlies aan drinkwater weens lekkasies, wat tans sowat 33-persent is, te verminder:
Regter David Munsu het die borgaansoek van Fishrot-verdagte Tamson Hatuikulipi tot 29 November vir finale betoeë deur die partye uitgestel. Hatuikulipi het die aansoek op grond van nuwe feite gedoen. Dit sluit in e-posse wat aandui dat die Yslandse maatskappy Samherji ander individue voor Hatuikulipi gekontak het om toegang te kry tot die voormalige visserye minister, Bernhardt Esau. Andreas Kanyangela, hoofondersoeker van die Teenkorrupsie-kommissie, het weer op die laaste dag getuig, die keer oor die omstrede Mermaria Seafood Namibia. Mbanga Siyomunji, regsman van Hatuikulipi wou weet waar die maatskappy die geld vandaan gekry het om nou omstrede regsman Maren de Klerk te betaal.

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. .
