Het draaide deze handelsdag weer om één man: Donald Trump. Hij zei dat 'ie verder wilde onderhandelen met Xi Jinping (deze week nog) en stapte in het vliegtuig naar het Midden-Oosten. Koud geland in Saoedi-Arabië sloot hij voor 600 miljard dollar aan deals.Twee bedrijven springen eruit. Boeing en Nvidia. De laatste mag ineens duizenden van zijn beste AI-chips gaan verkopen. De exportrestricties die de vorige Amerikaanse regering had verzonnen? Die worden opgeheven. Deze aflevering kijken we naar die ommezwaai en welke andere beursbedrijven gaan profiteren.Europa profiteert voorlopig nog niet, want zij zitten nog altijd niet met Trump om tafel. De Amerikaanse minister van Financien zegt dat dat er voorlopig niet in zit. Hoe lang moet Ursula vonder Leyen naar haar telefoon kijken en wat betekent het dat 'wij' geen deal hebben?Dat, maar ook hebben we het over de problemen van Alfen. Over de bonusrel bij KLM en de ontslagronde bij Microsoft.Ook hebben we het over de Amerikaanse economie. Daar regent het goed nieuws. De inflatie is lager dan gedacht én de recessievrees kan weer in de ijskast. Die trekken economen in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Onverwachts was er ineens een deal. Of nou ja een pre-deal, want de echte deal moet nog komen. Hoe dan ook, China en de VS nemen even een pauze in de handelsoorlog. De tarieven worden enorm verlaagd en in de tussentijd gaan ze met elkaar onderhandelen. Deze aflevering kijken we wat de Chinezen en Amerikanen nog meer inbrengen in de onderhandelingen. Wordt China meer open voor de VS bijvoorbeeld, zoals Trump zegt. En wat heb jij er als belegger aan? De meeste beleggers lopen de polonaise deze beursdag, behalve die in de farmaceutische industrie. Trump kwam (totaal onverwachts) met de mededeling dat de prijzen van medicatie naar beneden moeten. En dat betekent: drastisch.Voor Elon Musk ziet het er ook niet goed uit. Een deel van zijn personeel is gaan muiten en wil dat Musk ontslagen wordt. Deze uitzending kijken we hoe Musk deze hobbel nu weer moet nemen.Maar ook hebben we het over vliegtuigen, want we bespreken de flinke bonussen bij 'De Blauwe Zwaan'. Verder gaat het over een peperduur vliegtuig dat Trump krijgt en brengen we hem wat topografische kennis bij. Mattel beste Trump, is geen land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Verjetno se nam je že zgodilo, da ko smo prišli v službo ali kak krog prijateljev in smo iskali tolažilne in vzpodbudne besede, ker smo bili v skrbeh, kaj vse še moramo postoriti v prihodnjih dneh, da nam je kdo od poslušajočih odgovoril: »Zaupaj. Vstopi v današnji dan. Dovolj je dnevu lastna teža…« Verjetno se takrat nismo zavedali, da podobno nas tolaži in nam daje upanja evangelist Matej v njegovem evangeliju: »Ne bodite torej v skrbeh za jutri, kajti jutrišnji dan bo imel svoje skrbi. Dovolj je dnevu njegova lastna teža.« Zaupam v te izrečene besede in če jim, sem jim pripravljen tudi slediti. Vera brez zaupanja je prazna. Verujem, ko zaupam v Boga in njegovo delovanje. Številne svetopisemske osebe in svetniki so kljub obilici vsakodnevnih skrbi ohranjali zaupanje v Boga in tako je Bog tudi preko preizkušenj življenja lahko ustvaril in tudi po njih delal čudovite stvari v njihovem življenju in v ljudeh s katerimi so se srečali. Spomnimo se samo svetopisemskih oseb – Mojzesa, prerokov Ezekiela, Danijela v novi zavezi apostolov in med njima še posebej Petra in Pavla. Ali svetnikov od naših slovenskih blaženih in mučencev – bl. Antona Martina Slomška, Alojzija Grozdeta, svetega papeža Janeza Pavla II. in tudi v tem letu v svetem letu upanja bo papež Frančišek ob svetoletnem srečanju najstnikov 27.4., razglasil za svetega Carla Acutisa – svetnika v kavbojkah, kot ga nekateri pojmujejo. Posebej mi je všeč njegova misel: »Vsi se rodimo kot izvirniki, mnogo pa jih žal umre kot fotokopije!« Geslo tega leta svetega letaje romarji upanja. V tem dnevu Vas povabim, da ne bodimo fotokopije, ki so izgubile zaupanje v Boga in jih preplavljajo zgolj skrbi in ječe sedanjega sveta. Ostanimo izvirnik zaupanja - upanja in kot romarji upanja ga prinašajmo…

In this conversation, Dr. Marjan Bolouri, a board-certified radiologist specializing in breast imaging, discusses the controversy surrounding mammograms, the historical context of their development, and the importance of early detection in breast cancer. In this conversation, Marjan Bolouri discusses the limitations of current breast cancer screening methods, including the flaws of thermography and QT Imaging and the importance of mammograms. She emphasizes the need for early detection and the role of AI in improving mammogram accuracy.  Radiation from mammograms is minimal compared to other medical imaging. QT imaging lacks sufficient data to be considered a reliable alternative. Thermography is not a reliable method for breast cancer detection. Mobile ultrasound services may lead to false diagnoses. Mammograms are essential for early detection of breast cancer. Radiation exposure from mammograms is minimal compared to daily background radiation.

Dvoje poti, tak naslov je dan psalmu 1 v knjigi psalm v Svetem pismu. Zato Vas ob vstopanju na pot današnjega dne povabim k skupnemu razmišljanju o poti. A ne samo o poti, po kateri hodimo, ampak tudi o poti v prenesenem pomenu, poti mojega življenja, poti včerajšnjega in današnjega dne, poti mojega upanja, veselja, ljubezni, poklicni poti in še bi lahko našteval. Že s tem naštevanjem smo lahko zaslutili, da je beseda pot središče za naš vsakdan. V svoji avtobiografiji Pot je slovenski alpinist Nejc Zaplotnik zapisal te misli: »Vse to je moje življenje. Pot, ki ne pripelje nikamor drugam kot na naslednjo pot in ta zopet na naslednje razpotje. Brez konca. Svoboda v najpopolnejšem pomenu besede. Obsojen sem na svobodo, tako svoboden, da med množico ljudi, ki me imajo radi, in med tistimi, ki me ne marajo, ostajam sam. Sam s svojimi željami, sanjami, hrepenenji, in sam na svoji večni poti.« Vsak dan znova in znova stopamo na pot našega življenja, kdaj imamo občutek, da smo sredi gneče, velikokrat smo tudi sami, a na njo stopamo s svojimi željami, upanji, hrepenenji in tudi kdaj s strahom in spoštovanjem pred kakim razpotjem. Ko vstopam na pot današnjega dne, današnjih 86400 sekund naj v naših mislih odmevajo besede psalmista v psalmu 1: »Blagor človeku, ki ne hodi po nasvetu krivičnih, ki ne stopa na pot grešnikov in ne poseda v družbi porogljivcev, temveč se veseli v Gospodovi postavi in premišljuje njegovo postavo podnevi in ponoči. Tak je kakor drevo, zasajeno ob vodnih strugah, ki daje sad ob svojem času in mu listje ne ovene; kar koli dela, dobro uspeva.« Naj nas na poti skozi današnji dan spremlja Božji blagoslov, da kar koli bomo delali, da bo dobro uspelo, ali kot je zapisal tudi Nejc Zaplotnik: »Kdor išče cilj, bo ostal prazen, ko ga bo dosegel, kdor pa najde pot, bo cilj vedno nosil v sebi.«

Sta jij weleens stil bij de vraag: leef ik eigenlijk een goed leven? In de drukte van vandaag, met werk, social media en alle verwachtingen die op je afkomen, kan die vraag makkelijk naar de achtergrond verdwijnen. Maar wat betekent ‘goed leven' eigenlijk? En hoe bepaal je dat voor jezelf? Filosoof en Denker des Vaderlands Marjan Slob houdt zich hier dagelijks mee bezig. En op zondag 2 februari om 16.00 uur trapt zij de nieuwe lezingenreeks ‘Wij zijn de tijden' af in de Dorpskerk Bloemendaal.

fWotD Episode 2800: Albona-class minelayer Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 3 January 2025 is Albona-class minelayer.The Albona class were mine warfare ships used by the Italian Regia Marina (Royal Navy) and Royal Yugoslav Navy (Serbo-Croatian Latin: Kraljevska mornarica; KM). Fourteen ships were originally laid down between 1917 and 1918 for the Austro-Hungarian Navy as the MT.130 class. However, the end of World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary left them incomplete until 1920, when three ships were finished for the Regia Marina. These ships were armed with two 76 mm (3 in) guns. An additional five ships were completed for the KM in 1931 as the Malinska or Marjan class, and were armed with a single 66 mm (2.6 in). All of the completed ships could carry 24 to 39 naval mines. The remaining ships were never completed.The five ships in KM service were captured by Italian forces during the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia and commissioned in the Regia Marina as the Arbe class, and were re-armed with two 76 mm guns. They were involved in some operations against the Yugoslav Partisans along the Dalmatian coast. Following the Italian surrender in September 1943, the three Albona-class ships were captured by German forces with all three being lost or scuttled later in the war. Of the five former KM ships, one was seized and operated by the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) until it was lost. Another was captured but transferred to the navy of the German fascist puppet state, the Italian Social Republic, and scuttled by the Germans towards the end of the war. The remaining three were returned to the KM-in-exile at Malta in late 1943 and swept for mines around Malta until transferred to the new Yugoslav Navy (Serbo-Croatian Latin: Jugoslavenska ratna mornarica; JRM) in August 1945.After the war, the three ships were commissioned into the JRM and their designations were changed several times. In October 1946, two of them were involved in the Corfu Channel incident, an early clash in the developing Cold War, when they laid mines in the Straits of Corfu at the request of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania. The undeclared minefield damaged two British destroyers, killing 44 men and injuring another 42. The incident resulted in a case before the International Court of Justice and a fifty-year diplomatic freeze between Albania and the UK, and Yugoslavia never conceded that its ships had laid the mines. The three remaining ships were stricken in 1962 and 1963.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Friday, 3 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Albona-class minelayer on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

On Sunday we were incredibly privileged to have Marjan Beer share with us as a part of our series on JESUS ENCOUNTERS. Marjan is such a wonderful member of our community who has recently been running our Women's Retreats as well as our weekly group Bible Studies. In her message she shared about how she reignited her relationship with Jesus through 2 things: 1. Imagination. Placing yourself in the bible, read the gospels like a novel. 2. Community. Jesus is represented all around us, and how do we represent him to others?   WEBSITE :: https://www.goodlife.org.au/ and https://www.goodlife.org.au/church-notices SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/5tgYs0DLkpe3yxj15nTRUh?si=KWSJIsI-Q7auMNx4WLn6xg Goodlife Collective:: https://open.spotify.com/track/6AIpkihS5W6fyQb81U53ql?si=eae8759fd4d947f6&nd=1&dlsi=45435542515e4942   CONNECT via socials FACEBOOK :: https://www.facebook.com/goodlifecommunitychurch INSTAGRAM:: https://www.instagram.com/goodlifecommunitychurch/ YOUTH:: https://www.instagram.com/goodlife_youth/ COLLECTIVE:: https://www.instagram.com/goodlifecollective_/

Activated Citizenship: The Transformative Power of Citizens' Assemblies 1st Edition by Marjan H. Ehsassi Amazon.com/Activated-Citizenship-Transformative-Citizens-Assemblies/dp/1032798564 Berggruen.org To counter pervasive levels of citizen disengagement from political institutions, this book examines democratic innovations that meaningfully engage with citizens to address some of the deficits of Western representative democracies. Citizens' assemblies provide one such innovation, offering opportunities for more consistent participation between elections, more meaningful input in government decision making, and more impactful platforms for participation. This cutting-edge book introduces a new definition for an Activated Citizen, along with a methodology to measure civic and political engagement. Relying on a mixed-methods approach and field research conducted in Paris, Brussels, Ottawa, and Petaluma (California), as well as participant observations, over 180 surveys, 61 in-depth interviews and storytelling, the book provides case studies and in-depth analysis of hotbutton topics including climate change, unhoused populations, democratic expression, assisted suicide and euthanasia. Each chapter weaves quantitative results with rich qualitative testimonies from participants, government representatives, and observers. Based on empirical evidence, the book explores the ways in which government-led citizens' assemblies can promote a more Activated Citizen. To fully realize the transformative potential of deliberative platforms, a final chapter offers a blueprint for impact, outlining concrete measures along with recommendations for the design and implementation of future government-initiated deliberative platforms. Activated Citizenship urges the deliberative community to be more discerning and intentional to more positively impact participants' knowledge, sense of community, enthusiasm, political engagement, as well as their sense of meaningful voice. It will be required reading for all students and scholars interested in political participation and democratic innovation.About the author Marjan H. Ehsassi is the Executive Director of FIDE NA (the Federation for Innovation in Democracy - North America). She is also a Future of Democracy Fellow (non-resident) at the Berggruen Institute and a Senior Innovations Fellow at the Institute for Democratic Engagement and Accountability (IDEA at OSU). A former litigator, she is a skilled advocate, a strategic policy advisor and a movement builder. Marjan received her Doctorate in International Affairs (DIA) from SAIS at Johns Hopkins University with a concentration on democratic innovations, citizen engagement and deliberation. A comparativist of citizens' assemblies, she has been deeply involved in the research, design, and implementation of several CAs in France, Belgium, Canada and the US. She served as one of four guarantors of the French Citizens' Convention on the End of Life (2022-23) and on the Oversight Committee of the G1000 We Need to Talk Citizens' Panel (2023).

A heartfelt epic about friendship, betrayal, and redemption during three transformative decades in Iran.

Het begin van een tweeluik, waarin we ons deze week laven aan de Denker des Vaderlands, Marjan Slob, en volgende week aan de Theoloog des Vaderlands, Kees van Ekris. Wat hebben zij aan wijsheid te bieden in deze turbulente tijd? Marjan Slob is filosoof, schrijver en sinds april 2023 de Denker des Vaderlands. Ze is gewend om filosofie te verbinden met actuele vraagstukken. Zo adviseerde ze de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid, het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving en het Rathenau Instituut voor wetenschap en technologie. Ze schreef over uiteenlopende zaken als de wolf (waarom is dat zo'n hype?), geluk (hoe kun je gelukkig zijn met zoveel lijden in de wereld?) en eenzaamheid (waarom is dat een veel dieper, existentieel probleem?). Marjan groeide op op de biblebelt maar heeft een hekel aan dogma's. Oei, als dat maar goed gaat met Stefan. En oh ja, we vroegen haar ook nog even wat de zin van het leven is. Gewoon, omdat het kan. David Boogerd spreekt Marjan Slob uiteraard samen met vaste gast, theoloog Stefan Paas, professor aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Janez Janša, Karel Erjavec in Marjan Šarec v eminentno družbo sprejemajo novega člana Boruta Sajovica, ki pa bo za to moral preživeti prav poseben krst.

Vse to izvemo v petek dopoldne na Prvem programu radia Slovenija.

This week, I talk with Marjan Kamali about her beautiful novel about friendship, The Lion Women of Tehran.  We dive into how the book covers the nature of childhood friendships, the vast spectrum of being a Lion Woman, and the jarring aftermath of women losing their rights almost overnight to religious fundamentalists in Iran.The Lion Women of Tehran SynopsisIn 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother's endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation.Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa's warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming “lion women.”But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls' high school in Iran, Ellie's memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie's privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.

Autisme, ADHD, borderline of hoogbegaafdheid: iedereen kent wel iemand die op een spectrum zit, iemand met een ‘label'. Of nog: een neurodivers persoon. Lieve en Marjan gaan op bezoek bij kunstenares en leerkracht Marjan De Ridder (36), die recent te horen kreeg dat ze ADHD én autisme heeft. De diagnose was een opluchting, maar ook een opgave. Marjan vertelt er heel open en heel herkenbaar over.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, bestselling author Marjan Kamali joins us to discuss The Lion Women of Tehran, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Iran.

Het leven en hoe het te leiden... Of lijden. Brecht (38) worstelt met het gevoel op een voortdenderende trein te zitten en er niet meer af te kunnen springen.

Maar die term is véél te beperkt, zegt psychologe Leslie Hodge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlotte (37) zag eind vorig jaar haar relatie stranden, en is er nog altijd heel verdrietig om. Niet iedereen toont evenveel begrip, vertelt ze aan Lieve en Marjan.

Marjan Kamali joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest novel, THE LION WOMEN OF TEHRAN, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. We are told the genesis of the story and how Marjan built on it from there. She delves into her personal history coming to the US as a child and what it means to be a “lion woman.” We learn about how class and culture mattered in the relationship between Ellie and Homa, as well as how motherhood would change Homa. Marjan also discusses how she parsed some of the story to add intrigue --- and what her writing/editing process was like. Persian food is mentioned throughout the book, and Marjan talks about what food means beyond just nourishment. There is one recipe that Carol is keen on making. Book groups, take note!
