In deze aflevering van Met Open Vizier schuift Bas Nijhuis aan voor een open gesprek over de wekelijkse commotie rondom de VAR. Heeft het veel commotie weggenomen of is het nog erger geworden? Nijhuis vertelt over zowel de voor- en nadelen van de VAR, maar benadrukt vooral de rol van de spelers daarin.Nijhuis ziet media als een kans, voor zowel zichzelf als op het gebied van arbitrage. Moeten we bij cruciale beslissingen het hele stadion op de hoogte brengen waarom deze beslissing is gemaakt? En de inzet van bodycams, is dat een goed idee?Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welkom bij deze inspirerende podcast over psychologische veiligheid in organisaties. Onze gast, Elmira Nijhuis, deelt haar expertise over dit onderwerp vanuit haar jarenlange ervaring en promotie-onderzoek. In deze aflevering bespreken we praktische voorbeelden van hoe psychologische veiligheid op verschillende niveaus in een bedrijf kan worden geïmplementeerd, van bestuur tot individuele medewerkers. Psychologische veiligheid gaat verder dan mooie praatjes; het vraagt om structureel en cultuureel werk binnen een organisatie. We horen hoe rolduidelijkheid, het creëren van open communicatielijnen, en het investeren in teamcohesie bijdraagt aan een gezonde bedrijfscultuur. Door voorbeelden uit de praktijk te delen, zoals hoe leidinggevenden kwetsbaar kunnen zijn zonder een emotionele lading, geeft deze podcast inzicht in hoe je als leider en collega bij kunt dragen aan een veilige en ondersteunende werkomgeving. Luister mee voor inspiratie en praktische tips!

Het kabinet erkent dat de landbouw- en visserijsectoren te maken hebben met een opeenstapeling van regelgeving en wil de tegenstelling tussen voedselproductie en biodiversiteit verminderen. Dus kondigde men op Prinsjesdag een mestcrisis aanpak aan met de focus op uitstoot in plaats van neerslag én de stimulering van innovatie. Maar werd ook gemeld dat het verlaagde Btw-tarief van 9% op agrarische producten en diensten vanaf 2025 wordt afgeschaft, waardoor een algemeen tarief van 21% van toepassing wordt. Met grote gevolgen voor de kostenstructuur voor veel agrarische ondernemers. Alle reden dus om in de RB Podcast uit te zoeken hoe dat allemaal in elkaar zit. Samen met Robin Nijhuis, Senior belastingadviseur en Agro-specialist bij Flynth adviseurs en accountants.

Elmira Nijhuis heeft een PhD bij de VU over psychlologische veiligheid en daarnaast begeleidt ze managementteams als het moeilijk wordt, over dit thema. Elmira heeft een nieuw boek geschreven: samen in de zandbak, op zoek naar psychologische veiligheid. De variabelen worden benoemd die een rol spelen in het hebben of ontbreken van psychologische veiligheid. Een boek boordevol interventies, een must read voor iedereen. In het boek en de podcast staat o.a. de vraag centraal: psychologische veiligheid, iedereen neemt het als populair woord in de mond, maar wat betekent het nou echt? Veel luisterplezier!

In deze aflevering van de voetbalpodcast Kick-off van de Telegraaf bespreken Valentijn Driessen, Mike Verweij, Jeroen Kapteijns en Pim Sedee de afgang van Ajax in Rotterdam tegen Feyenoord. Het werd 6-0, volgens Driessen had Feyenoord zó een veel hogere monsterscore neer kunnen zetten. Ook scheids Makkelie leek medelijden te hebben met Ajax, zegt Kapteijns. Die stipt ook aan dat de slaande beweging van Bergwijn absoluut een rode kaart had moeten zijn. Nu ontloopt de Ajax-aanvoerder een schorsing, ook omdat de VAR niet ingreep. Ook het bijna kampioenschap van PSV komt uitgebreid aan bod. Welke spelers zijn op weg naar de uitgang, en wie zijn te behouden? De club hoopt zich te versterken met Utrecht-speler Flamingo. Zijn kwaliteiten komen ook aan bod. Verder in Kick-off: Vitesse in overlevingsstrijd, Nijhuis negeert de VAR, en meer voetbalnieuws en achtergronden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De kans is groot dat Overijssel ook na de zomer met vier clubs vertegenwoordigd is in de Eredivisie. Zowel PEC Zwolle als Heracles Almelo kenden een geweldig weekend en het moet wel heel raar lopen wil het degradatiespook alsnog om de hoek komen kijken. Job Vaarhorst bespreekt samen met sportverslaggevers Nico Wantia en Tijmen van Wissing de 'bevrijding' in Zwolle en Almelo. Daarnaast gaat het trio in op de welles-nietes-discussie in Deventer: "Ik snap dat Hake volstrekt niet objectief is over het penaltymoment met Nijhuis" en de zege van FC Twente op Fortuna Sittard, waardoor de derde plek vrijwel zeker is.

Wordt TikTok verboden in de Verenigde Staten, en kan dat in Europa ook gebeuren? In de VS lijkt een verbod een serieuze mogelijkheid.

Zij vinden zelf dat er onvoldoende naar hen wordt gekeken en geluisterd: de professionals binnen de Nederlandse agrarische sector. Maar dat verwijt kan niet slaan op Het Register Belastingadviseurs of de Nederlandse fiscalisten. Want juist zij zien Agro al heel lang als een belangrijke tak van sport. Vorig jaar spraken we hier in De RB Podcast al over met mr. Ing. Bert van den Kerkhof, hoofd vaktechniek belastingadvies bij ABAB Accountants en Adviseurs. En vandaag zetten wij dat gesprek voort met Robin Nijhuis, Senior belastingadviseur bij Flynth adviseurs en accountants. Simpelweg omdat er veel gebeurt en de onvrede onder boeren eerder groter dan kleiner lijkt te worden. Dus lopen we in deze RN Podcast de grote Agro-dossiers langs: het landbouwbeleid, het stikstofdossier, de subsidieregelingen en natuurlijk de landbouwvrijstelling. In gesprek met Sylvester Schenk, directeur Fiscale Zaken van het RB en de vaste host van de RB Podcast.

AI becomes real, reachable, and democratic. “AI is now out of the laboratory and into the hands of the public,” says Stijn Nijhuis, CEO of Enreach. Every now and then, we pass through a time when one can sense an era ending and an era beginning. Authors, writers, and futurists have been describing the ‘digital society since the appearance of the first non-defense purposed computers began to appear over sixty years ago to preforms functions such as billing, airline reservations and other big data functions. But 2023 seems to offer a change as significant at the appearance of the first laptop, or smartphone: AI for everyone. According to Nijhuis, AI's arrival in the hands of the public, also means that AI's gifts and challenges, AI's strengths, and area for improvement, are on full display. And just like those other moments of change, it's a good idea to be open to what will come and partner with companies that have already been working on the details. In this podcast we learn how Enreach has been preparing itself and their customers for this moment. “We have made that technology very affordable and very accessible to the SMB,” adds Nijhuis. We learn how even the smallest organizations will be able to make big gains with what's being called a democratization of technology, meaning AI solutions that not only scale for operation but also scale on cost.  We also hear how the concurrent macro-economic challenges of the times and micro economic challenges of the small firm to find staff, and to control costs, make accessible AI a way to improve sales, customer experiences, agent and employee experiences and in turn, build scalable businesses that can be remain efficient, when and where growth occurs. Enreach's Conversational AI technology has just earned an award ... for more info, please see the press release and the award download page: https://enreach.com/en/company/frost-award-2023.

Enreach well matched for the times “I think everyone is prepared for anything,” says Stijn Nijhuis, CEO of Enreach. As we near the end of the first quarter of 2023, Nijhuis offers a pensive but optimistic outlook for people in the UC community as people work to manage their company's and IT teams through a period of change, disruption, challenge but also opportunity. With a focus on Europe, Nijhuis reflects on the rapid shift in Europe's largest economy from a pre-pandemic dominance of on-prem approaches to an apparent switch to cloud. “We are seeing the beginning of the end of the on-prem market, in Germany”. Meanwhile, “mobile first”, the mobile app, and the softphone have moved from being a nice add on to a central function and use. Along with mobility and cloud, we see the adoption of people seeking a more streamlined set of vendors, more bundled services and, of course, the widening acceptance of hybrid work. Converged Contact Solutions In this podcast, we learn how Enreach is well positioned to match the times. Nijhuis drills down into the details of helping take the old call center, contact center model into a robust and secure contact center that enabled agents to work from anywhere, to allow firms of many sizes to take advantage of automation technologies, and making the most of migration to Microsoft Teams and mobility. Looking out over the horizon, we learn about a democratization of technology, and get a glimpse at an economy where small firms can harness enterprise grade solutions, automations, and choices. “We really adapt a level of change at Enreach, not just at the level of our product, but at the level of our organization,” says Nijhuis, reflecting on adopting tools that transform internal governance, decision making and company culture.

Vandaag het gesprek met Carolien Nijhuis. Carolien is Managing Owner van de Nijhuis Group. In 14 jaar tijd is het bedrijf van een eenmanszaak uitgegroeid tot een volwaardig maakbedrijf in Winterswijk met een team van 30 vakmensen. Wij maken allerlei producten van natuurrubber en metalen veelal bestemd voor de voedingsmiddelenindustrie. Denk aan machinebouw en onderdelen van machines. Laten we beginnen… In gesprek met Carolien leerde ik: Je kan maar beter heel groot worden in een niche. De producten van Nijhuis gaan de hele wereld over. Ik zit rijke mensen rijker te maken, en aan de andere kant konden haar ouders wel wat hulp gebruiken. Je moet het niet in je hoofd hebben, maar het moet in je bedrijf zitten. Iedereen moet vervangbaar zijn. De stip op de horizon is vooral handig bij tegenslagen. Niet druk maken over de dingen die je niet in de hand hebt. Als ondernemer krijg je niet vaak complimenten. Als je wil groeien moet je als ondernemer los kunnen laten. Geen control freak zijn, maar wel in control zijn. Als je met Carolien werkt moet je je realiseren dat het altijd in beweging is. Continu leren staat in de kernwaarden van de Nijhuis Groep, naast open, eerlijk en respectvol met elkaar communiceren op basis van vertrouwen zodat mensen de autonomie pakken. "Stel je eens voor dat we hetzelfde belang hebben.", zegt Carolien tegen de medewerkers. De MT vergaderingen gaan niet zozeer over cijfers, maar vooral over de mensen. De lastigste uitdaging van Carolien, de wereld is zo mooi maar waarom ziet niet iedereen dat. De angst voor elkaar wegnemen met PPA analyses - gebaseerd op DISC. Het is belangrijk dat je tijd steekt in de ontwikkeling van je mensen als je wilt dat er een team staat dat wat voor elkaar over heeft. Diverse teams functioneren beter. Zelfreflectie is de belangrijkste kwaliteit die mensen kunnen ontwikkelen, net als eerlijk naar jezelf kunnen kijken zodat je dichter bij je gevoel kunt komen. Naar jezelf toe wat liever zijn en het leuk vinden om op ontdekkingstocht te gaan om aan jezelf te werken. Net als een tekort aan vakmensen, hebben we ook een tekort aan ondernemers die een bedrijf willen overnemen van de generatie die klaarstaat om met pensioen te gaan. Carolien besteed niet specifiek aandacht aan de SDGs, dat is gewoon wat we doen. Het is niet een doel op zich. De excel-cultuur van winstmaximalisatie, werkt niet. Zoals bijvoorbeeld dat het niet past om een school te ondersteunen op dat moment, want anders worden de targets niet gehaald. Als je meer kijkt als een familiebedrijf, meer op de lange termijn, dan is het niet erg dat je een jaar geen marge hebt gedraaid. Als je meer naar waardemaximalisatie kijkt, dan gaan je heel anders om met dit soort vraagstukken. Dan kun je op de langere termijn gezonder groeien en gezondere basis creëren. Dames, hou op met sorry zeggen. Doen mannen ook niet. Hoe blijf je als vrouw staan in een mannenwereld, en hoe blijf je vrouw. Het mag meer slagkracht krijgen door dingen te gaan doen. Begin niet te groot, maar begin.

When most people think of the conservation movement, they might think of environmentalists working to preserve endangered species like the spotted owl, orca, or sage grouse. The latest issue of High Country News is dedicated to a more comprehensive idea of conservation. The editor of this issue, Michelle Nijhuis, argues that conservation needs to consider more than just a single animal: the movement needs to look at entire ecosystems, and the people who are part of them. We talk to Nijhuis, and one of the writers featured in the new issue, Jaclyn Moyer.

We started talking about Michelle's commitment to avoid scrolling on vacation. She did. It sounds like it was both no big deal and something worth building on.We had intended to keep the recording to under thirty minutes for scheduling reasons, but the conversation kept staying too interesting to stop. We talked about addiction, how big a difference small differences can make, the difference between Portland and Vancouver in culture, how to change culture, living off the grid, and what stays with you when transitioning back.Coincidentally, a story of hers appeared in this week's New Yorker: When Summer Becomes the Season of Danger and DreadMichelle's book: Beloved Beasts Hosted on Acast.

SAUR multiplied its industrial revenue by twenty in three years. Two of the three largest water companies in the World are french: Veolia and Suez. So, for SAUR being the "French 3rd guy" is like being a small fish in a shark tank. In that context, where making a dent is pretty challenging, SAUR had to differentiate.  Hence, since starting up in 1933, SAUR had always bet on municipal water. And that's why they build and operate mostly municipal water and wastewater treatment plants across 20 countries.  Yet, with water scarcity on the rise, the industrial segment is the fastest growing piece of the water sector's cake.  So how do you react when you apparently bet on the wrong horse?   Well, in 2018, the Swedish investment fund EQT acquired SAUR with a plan. In five years, they would transform the company to surf the industrial wave! They warmed up in 2020 by buying Unidro and Econvert, before their main move with the acquisition of Nijhuis, which would become their industrial flagship.  Many more moves followed with the acquisition of Veolia's mobile fleet, of Flootech, Aqua-Chem, Sodai, Biosys Group, PWNT, and Nortech.  And this is how SAUR multiplied its industrial revenue by twenty in three years.     Wanna dive deeper into the topic? I discussed this (and much more) with Menno Holtermann, the CEO of Nijhuis Saur Industries!

Where was Michelle Nijhuis all my life?She lived off the electric grid for fifteen years and I was about two months in, so we shared stories of the experiences. She did it much longer and her fiance had to assemble everything from scratch. I'm only two months in and can use off-the-shelf parts, but I'm in Manhattan, so can't set up a permanent system. Some similarities: connecting with nature, learning to respect power, living with less resulting in living more. Michelle shares her challenges of connecting with the human world when disconnected to a power grid, but I don't think you'll hear regret.I have to correct myself: I said kilowatt-hour when I meant watt-hour. My battery isn't 1,000 times bigger than I said.It's hard to put into words the benefits of living without electrical power at the touch of a button. I recommend turning off your power every now and then. I wish I had earlier.Michelle's home page, which connects to her book Beloved Beasts, other writings, connecting to her, and more See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Recession ready solutions, as contact magic exceeds underlying UC “At the core of everything is UCaaS,” says Stijn Nijhuis, CEO of Enreach. “We create human contact.” Nijhuis' company is focused on integrating UCaaS, CCaaS and mobility into services and experiences that take the idea of UC to a new place: converged contact solutions. The aim is to integrate all those stand-alone ways of connecting – fixed voice, mobile, video, chat, email, SMS, social channels – into one easy, user-controlled, context-based and flexible environment resulting in more effortless, natural interaction between people bringing everyone closer together. In this podcast, Nijhuis discusses how this approach creates a distinctive set of solutions and experiences that help companies save money while improving the “contactability” of business and organization team members for better control over the day and optimized work-life flow. We also learn about Enreach's approach to Microsoft Teams, where the company offers a wide range of integration options so customers with different needs can enhance Teams as part of a more comprehensive digital workplace. Benefits include additional PBX and Contact Center features while ensuring that all calls, PSTN, mobile or via Teams, can be handled the same way. Plus, Enreach's Teams integration creates a powerful opportunity for telecom and ICT partners to differentiate and expand their own offerings. With a possible turn in economic conditions, Nijhuis sees an opportunity to offer services that require no capital investment, scale, contractual flexibility, and immediate savings and productivity improvements.

'Ik heb wel eens gedacht: ‘Ik ben er wel klaar mee, het hoeft van mij niet meer.' Als je altijd pijn hebt, het houdt niet op, ik heb alle leuke dingen gedaan in het leven. Waarom zou ik dan blijven?' Met de meest aangevraagde gast voor 30 MINUTEN RAUW, nieuwslezer Matijn Nijhuis, sprak ik een half uur lang over onder andere het hebben van een handicap, het beëindigen van zijn relatie, opnieuw daten en een aanbod van RTL. 

Ninian Nijhuis holds a Research Master in Religious Studies (University of Amsterdam); a BA in Law and an LL.M. in International Public Law (University of Utrecht). Her main focus is on Western Esotericism and her key fields of interest are Jungian psychology, sidereal astrology, mysticism, spirituality and its connections to science. Additionally, she is Head of Social Media at the Centre for History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents (HHP Centre) and the University of Amsterdam, and currently works as a sidereal astrologer and coach.   In this interview, Ninian and I discuss sidereal astrology, and how it differs from tropical astrology (the system that most people in the West are familiar with). Ninian shares the history of astrology and of these two systems; why these systems became separated (with tropical astrology the most popular form in the West, and sidereal astrology in the East); and how sidereal astrology made a 'comeback' in the West via Cyril Fagan and others.   Ninian also shares her personal journey and views with regard to astrology, her research interest on an academic level, and how she uses sidereal astrology together with Jungian psychology in her own work.RESOURCESYou can find Ninian at https://niniansiderealastrology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/niniannijhuis/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ninian.nijhuisAcademia.edu: https://uva.academia.edu/NinianNijhuisNinian's article about Western sidereal astrology: https://www.academia.edu/50008714/Western_Sidereal_Astrology_From_Ancient_Babylonia_to_the_Modern_WestFrom her website:https://niniansiderealastrology.com/2021/11/19/what-is-western-sidereal-astrology/  If you are interested in the academic study of Western Esotericism, and would like to be kept up-to-date on current lectures, courses, conferences, books, podcasts, etc., please check out -https://www.instagram.com/amsterdamhermetica/or https://www.amsterdamhermetica.nl/or https://www.facebook.com/amsterdamhermetica  Theme Music: Stephanie Shea

Marianne Oude Nijhuis is a child and youth psychologist by education, and a mentor for visionary professional and creative entrepreneurs by calling. She is a writer and a mother of two children. She loves being outside and she swims in the North Sea (!) weekly all year round. HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS MARIANNE SHARED DURING OUR CONVERSATION: “Sovereignty is a soul quality. It's within you, it's within me.” “In motherhood, it's important to develop a lot of soul qualities to be the mother you want to be, to give our children the support they need so they can grow up as their sovereign self. We have to give [our children] love, safety, protection and also honor their sovereign so they can be themselves.” “I discovered that everything in creating a business - creating your project, creating your art, your writing, it's all a relationship. Your business has its own soul so you can be in a relationship with your business.” “We are nature. And we are part of the ecology we live in.” “I don't believe we need to punish our children. we have to be good listeners to our children, to our body, to our soul.” “I want to work from my overflow. […] I don't want to give everything to everyone.” “We don't have to do it all ourselves. Support is really important to do our work. And our work is not only the productivity but also be outside, be at the seaside. That's also my work because when I'm there all these ideas are coming to me and I give that in my work with my clients, in my writing.” “I call this radical self-care. And I call it radical because we are not used to it. We are used to running and running, productivity, and being there for whatever. But it's so exhausting. We have to change this as mothers, for our daughters. It's not sustainable. We cannot do this anymore.” “Really listen to your body. What does your body need? What is your body feeling? What are your thoughts? And make that a daily practice.” “You have 5 minutes to take care of yourself. You have two hours to go outside. But you have to put it in your agenda. And it is part of taking care of others.” “Carve out the time for self-care because we have the time.” “Take care of your relationship with your inner selves. And if you're a parent, take care of your relationship with your child.” And so much more.

One of David’s favorite books last year was Michelle Nijhuis’ Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction, a fascinating history of the way human knowledge about species extinction (and survival) has evolved. There was a time, she writes, that scientists (and human culture at-large) simply didn’t understand the way animals lived and died. Most people figured that even creatures that seemed to be getting scared with find a way to come back. But then in the twentieth century things changed, and this book is the story of people like Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, and other scientists set out to learn the truth and preserve the creature that make the planet so wonderful. It’s a great book, and in this episode of Bibliography, Nijhuis came on to chat about the books that have inspired her—as an individual, as a scholar, and as a parent—over the years.

Sixty of the units would be built in a series of “linked townhouses” and the rest would be for the church to build in the future should they want to do so. The property has potential road connections onto several roads in the neighborhood. Not all of the property is connected to the church. An entity called Route 250 Homes purchased two single family homes that front onto Otter Street last June, and these two properties are being added to the church’s property. A community meeting for the rezoning begins at 6:30 p.m. tonight. (register) (more information)Former City Manager Richardson withdraws suit against the cityAn attorney for former Charlottesville City Manager Tarron Richardson has filed a motion with the United States Western District Court ending a lawsuit against his former employer. Richardson had filed a civil rights suit against the City Council and the city attorney in November alleging his rights were violated by the terms of his severance agreement. However the suit was not formally served to the city until late December, and the individual defendants were never served. The motion from attorney Kevin French is a voluntary dismissal with prejudice. For more information, read Ginny Bixby’s story in the Daily Progress. Federal appeals court hears oral arguments in suit to force 2022 electionA three judge panel of the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has heard arguments in a case that could force the state of Virginia to run elections for the House of Delegates this year, and then again in 2023. Richmond attorney Paul Goldman has argued those elections in 2021 are unconstitutional because the districts are based on Census data from 2010, and he sued the state Board of Elections. However, the 40-minute session largely dealt with procedural issues such as whether Goldman has the legal standing to bring the case forward or whether the appeals court was the appropriate venue. (hear the arguments on Youtube) Andrew Ferguson is the Solicitor General for Virginia, and he inherited the case from the previous administration. “The plaintiff in this case contends that Virginia broke the law when it failed to hold the 2021 election on the basis of Census data that did not exist when the electoral process began,” Ferguson said. “We strongly disagree, but the question before the court today is whether it has Article 3 jurisdiction to decide this case at all.”Article 3 refers to the U.S. Constitution which lays out how the nation’s courts systems should work. Ferguson argued that Goldman could not demonstrate how he was personally harmed by the elections. Last week, he filed a motion to return the case back to a lower court in order to get a ruling on that issue before taking up Goldman’s underlying claim. Ferguson argued the court should not even weigh in on what is referred to as a “sovereign authority” claim. “I think that the reason that sovereign immunity shouldn’t be addressed before determining standing is that if the court were to issue an opinion on sovereign immunity but subsequently determined there had never been any standing in this case, that sovereign immunity opinion is effectively an advisory opinion because the court never had jurisdiction to issue it in the first place,” Ferguson said. After a long and legally nuanced discussion about this issue, Goldman was asked to go ahead and make his argument which is built upon a 1981 federal case called Cosner v. Dalton that forced Virginia to hold House of Delegates’ elections in 1982. Goldman argued that the current districts are not balanced by population, a violation of the “one-person, one-vote principle.” “I am asking and am here for an election in 2022,” Goldman said. “They say there won’t be an election in 2022. I want to run in 2022 and the state says they’re not going to hold an election in 2022. I say Cosner says I have a right to run in 2022. They say it doesn’t.” Goldman said the legal remedy should be a new election to ensure that people are properly represented as is their Constitutional right. But he said his standing is based on being a potential candidate. “I gotta wait until 2024 before my new district kicks in,” Goldman said. “I am still represented by the people picked in the old districts and that’s the harm, that’s why you can’t do it. That’s the unusual circumstance in this case.” Goldman cited data that shows the imbalance. “There’s one district that’s got 130,000 people in it and there’s another district with 67,000,” Goldman said, “They propose that doesn’t change until 2024. That blatantly unconstitutional and I’m in this courtroom today to try to get justice,” Goldman said In rebuttal, Ferguson continued to press on the question of Goldman’s legal standing, but said the Commonwealth would not be afraid to argue against his claims.“If the courts conclude that Mr. Goldman has standing to maintain his claim, we will vigorously defend the constitutionality of the 2021 election,” Ferguson said. “We do not think the 14th amendment requires states to reapportion on the basis of Census data that don’t exist when the electoral process has begun.”The three judges will take the matter under advisement and will issue an opinion at a later date.

Yesterday’s edition of this program featured comments from city officials, and today we’ll hear from county leaders.Emily Kilroy is the director of community and public engagement for Albemarle County. She said she wondered why there had never before been a gathering with city, county, and UVA officials.“It felt like such a natural convening of our community’s leaders,” Kilroy said. “And of course being together today, we are reminded that the community is not just our individual pieces of the pie, but we all do together to grow the entire pie.” County Executive Jeff Richardson said the event was a chance to discuss what he called community opportunities and to introduce his leadership team to the Chamber. “The most effective leaders anticipate where the community is headed and they see changes before others do,” Richardson said. Richardson recently put that statement out to community leaders and there were some common threads about what they thought was needed.“Three basically said equity, access, [and] affordable housing, which means good paying jobs and access to health,” Richardson said. “So it’s keeping the community affordable at all economic levels, that was three out of six.”Richardson said one person said there was a need to find a “new normal” post pandemic and  another said shoring up support for public safety first responders. Richardson said local government needs to be working in all of these areas. “It’s not just one thing,” Richardson said. “It’s so many things.” The county’s strategic plan is intended to prioritize where county investments should go. For Richardson, that means making sure his employees are stable and that there is investment in economic development.  (read the strategic plan)“Recently at the end of our past budget year, we closed the year our better expected financially so an example of this working in real time is that we put $5 million in our economic development fund, $4.1 million was transferred to capital to move infrastructure along, $3.1 million into a dedicated housing fund, and $1 million went to our workforce stabilization which made our human resources director very happy,” Richardson said. Richardson urged people to apply for vacancies on various boards and commissions. There’s a list on the county website if you’re interested. The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will hold its first budget work session today beginning at 3 p.m. (meeting info)See also: Richardson presents $565M “Transform Albemarle” budget to supervisors, Information Charlottesville, February 23, 2022Michael Clem to kick off The Center’s Thursdays around Five series This next piece is more of a podcast piece, but I advise clicking on the songs below as you read! The Center at Belvedere opened in June 2020 to offer a gathering space for people of all ages with a new facility with much more room than the former facility on Hillsdale Drive. The relatively new Center has a performance space, and this Thursday singer songwriter Michael Clem will kick off a concert series for the press. “For over 30 years, Michael Clem has been playing bass, singing, and writing songs for the national touring act he co-founded, Eddie from Ohio,” reads the event listing on the Center’s website. “Since relocating to Charlottesville, he’s established quite a foothold in the musical scene.”It’s a return performance for Clem, who appeared there last fall. “This is a very well-attended event,” Clem said. “People from the community come out and they bring their lawn chairs, and I’m playing in basically like a theater-type of environment. This wasn’t just me playing incidental white noise music while people were gabbing and socializing. They were there focused, facing forward, giving the singer songwriter exactly what a singer songwriter would want! An attentive crowd!” Clem said the last show was an artistically satisfying event where he got to play original songs and he’s looking forward to playing Thursday’s show. I spoke to Clem two years ago at the beginning of the pandemic. Like so many others, he began performing online to people at home, and contributed the proceeds to restaurants. “I felt really bad for these businesses that were taking such a hit, specifically the ones who butter my bread, the restaurants and the music venues,” Clem said. “And a number of them didn’t survive the shutdown which is really sad.” One of them that survived is the Local, where Clem hosts a singer-songwriter open mic night on Mondays, though that’s currently on what he called Omicron hiatus. The downtime also allowed him to take on a personal challenge. “I decided I would dedicate the month of April to writing one song a day, and I did!” Clem said. “I’m not saying that every song was great but just having that exercise was important to battle the hypocrisy because I teach a songwriting class and that was another thing that moved online. My songwriting class is through the Front Porch, and I did a number of them on Zoom.”Clem said he would play some of these songs, some of which are on an album he produced with Rusty Speidel. You can hear some of them tomorrow night at the first Thursdays Around Five. The website states the event begins at 5:01 p.m. The event is free, but registration in advance at the Center is required.

Governor Glenn Youngkin has vetoed HB670 which would have granted the Arlington County Board that ability. The measure passed the House of Delegates on a 65 to 35 vote and the Senate on a much closer 21 to 19 vote. In his veto statement, Youngkin said such a move would grant too much power without appropriate protections for law enforcement officers. “Investing in a single politically-appointed individual the power of judge, jury, and executioner without any input from law-enforcement officers or delineated qualifications for such [an] individual constitutes an undue burden for those who protect and serve the community,” Youngkin wrote in his statement.

A working group of scientists from 195 nations gathered for two weeks to review and approve Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability. “The world faces unavoidable multiple climate hazards over the next two decades with global warming of 1.5°C (2.7°F),” reads a press release for the report. “Even temporarily exceeding this warming level will result in additional severe impacts, some of which will be irreversible. Risks for society will increase, including to infrastructure and low-lying coastal settlements.”The report urges continued work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and suggests ways this can be done while improving people’s lives, but also points out that growing urbanization and social inequality will hasten the problem. The full report is 3,675 pages long but the technical summary is a bit more manageable at 96 pages. I suspect most readers and listeners will opt for the 36-page summary for policymakers. “This report has a particular focus on transformation16 and system transitions in energy; land, ocean, coastal and freshwater ecosystems; urban, rural and infrastructure; and industry and society,” reads the introduction to that summary. “These transitions make possible the adaptation required for high levels of human health and wellbeing, economic and social resilience, ecosystem health, and planetary health.” For more information on what local and state governments are doing to meet their greenhouse reduction goals, here are some resources:Albemarle Climate Protection webpageCharlottesville Climate Protection webpageUniversity of Virginia SustainabilityVirginia Coastal Resilience Master PlanYesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case that challenges the power of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

They say that the current affordability levels will be maintained, and common spaces and amenities will be upgraded. They’re asking the CRHA to issue “exempt facility” bonds to renovate the 98 units. No new market-rate units would be added. “The role of the housing authority in this particular project is as a conduit bond issuer,” Carnes said. That means the CRHA would not have any obligations for the property, and neither CRHA or the City of Charlottesville would be responsible for paying back the bonds. Carnes said there were benefits to issuing the bonds. “First, they ensure the continued renovation and redevelopment of affordable housing units in the City of Charlottesville which is very complementary to your own mission but it doesn’t cost you a dime,” Carnes said. “As a matter of fact, it creates some revenue to you because you are receiving a fee for being the issuer of these bonds.” Carnes did not have a number on hand at the public hearing, but said the funding could be used for any purpose by the CRHA. The CRHA will need to approve the project once more after the bond documents are finalized. Steven Kahn is a director with Standard Communities. During the public hearing, he acknowledged that many do not know what his company does. “We’ve got about 13,000 units of affordable housing across the country in 19 different states,” Kahn said. “This will be our first project in Charlottesville but hopefully not our last as we see to it that we try to do our business the right way and always get invited back for repeat performances and we’ve done that very successfully across the country.”Kahn called Midway Manor a tremendous asset that has served a population in need of housing and a need for certainty. The current affordability requirements are running out. “And our intentions with Midway Manor are to take the federal rental subsidy contract that does expire in a couple of years and renew that for as long as the [U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development] to do so which is at present is a 20-year contract,” Kahn said. “And in partnership also work with [Virginia Housing Development Authority] to receive an allocation of four percent low-income housing tax credits which will allow us in partnership with these bonds to do a very extensive renovation of the property.” Kahn said the renovations would be expansive with full upgrades of interiors as well as an energy-efficient retrofit of heating and cooling systems and electric systems. The specifics of how renovation will work are not yet available, but Kahn said the hope is to not relocate tenants while the work is done over an 18-month period. “We’ve got a tremendous amount of experience doing that,” Kahn said. “North of ten thousand units completing renovations without displacing residents, even during the renovation process.” The executive director of the Public Housing Association of Residents asked for careful consideration of the issuance of the bonds. “I’ve spoken with two resident leaders at Midway Manor and their desire is to come to an answer as expeditiously as possible about the status of the building,” said Shelby Marie Edwards. “To be clear, I know CRHA does not own the building. And if anybody can help them make sure the units are affordable and that the building is upgrade and becoming of our citizens they would be grateful for the help. They are looking for the answer to the question: What’s going to happen to the resident. Where are we going?”Kahn said Standard Communities is a “high-touch” organization when it plans for these projects to make sure residents know what is going on. He said there will be a kickoff meeting for residents when the project is closer to moving forward. “Miscommunication or misinformation spreads very quickly through communities and we try to make sure that it is not something we are a part of,” Kahn said. Kahn said they are hoping to close the sale of the bonds this summer and get started with construction soon after. In the meantime, he said there were a number of issues that Standard Communities know need to be fixed. “There are a lot of things that we became aware of during our due diligence of the property that need some attention before then,” Kahn said. “We’ve put those underway. Elevator modernization is one of them. I know there [are] some concerns with the intercom system at the entryway.” The five CRHA Commissioners who were present on the virtual meeting voted unanimously to authorize the bond issuance. It is important to note that the Low Income Housing Tax Credits are in a separate category than the competitive ones that are being sought for other projects in the area. “The four percent LIHTC pool is noncompetitive while the nine percent pool is very competitive,” said John Sales, executive director of the CRHA. Sales said Council will also have to approve the issuance of the bonds.

Many bills that narrowly passed in one House of the bicameral legislature are now being defeated in committees of the other, a clear sign of divided government. Let’s go through some of those today. A Senate bill (SB27) to expand the Education Improvement Scholarships Tax Credit was tabled by the House Appropriations Committee. A Senate bill (SB290) to require local and state government agencies to construct energy efficient roofs on new public buildings failed to report out of the House General Laws Committee on a 10 to 12 vote. A Senate bill (SB559) to require more disclosure from registered lobbyists was tabled in the General Laws Committee on a 12 to 9 vote. Senate Bill 576 would have allowed betting on Virginia college sports, but it was tabled in the House General Laws Committee on an 18 to 4 vote. A Senate bill (SB310) that would have prohibited plastic guns and made their sales or posession a Class 5 felony was tabled in the House Public Safety Committee on a 12 to 10 vote. This had passed the Senate on a 22 to 18 vote. Now over to the Senate. House Bill 1301 would have directed the Department of Environmental Quality to withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. It passed the House of Delegates on a 52 to 48 vote, but was tabled in the Senate Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources Committee on an 8 to 7 vote.Another bill that would have watered down the Air Pollution Control Board’s requirements for renewable energy had passed the House of Delegates on a 53 to 47 vote, but was passed by indefinitely in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee on a nine to five vote. (SB81)A bill that would have required parental notification of the use of any sexually explicit materials in public school failed to report from the Senate Education and Health Committee on a 7 to 8 vote. (HB1009)A bill to advance Governor Glenn Younkgin’s Lab School initiative was passed by indefinitely by the Senate Education and Health Committee on a 9 to 6 vote. (HB356)House Bill 539 would have required public colleges and universities to notify would-be students that they could be disqualified by “certain criminal convictions.” That bill was passed by indefinitely in the Senate Education and Health Committee. Localities would not have been allowed to require contractors to provide certain benefits if HB58 had passed. The Senate General Laws and Technology Committee passed this by indefinitely on an 8 to 7 vote.Virginia’s Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will retain that name. HB1300 would have required the renaming to Director of Diversity, Opportunity, and Inclusion was passed by indefinitely on an 8 to 7 vote. Currently law-enforcement officers who are in a community with a police civilian review board are subject to a different interpretation of the Law-Enforcement Officers Procedural Guarantee Act. HB70 would have changed that, and the Senate Judiciary Committee passed that by indefinitely on a 9 to 6 vote. Law enforcements will continue to not be allowed to stop motorists for minor infractions. House Bill 79 would have removed those provisions passed by a Democrat-led General Assembly and it passed the Republican-run House of Delegates on a 52 to 45 vote. The Cemocrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee passed this by indefinitely on a 9 to 6 vote.Currently if you have a firearm stolen from you, you must report that to a law-enforcement agency. House Bill 325 would have dropped that requirement by the Senate Judiciary Committee passed this by indefinitely on an 8 to 7 vote. Other House bills related to firearms were also defeated. One would have repealed a recently passed law that allows firearms to be removed from the possession of people deemed to be a risk (HB509). Localities will also continue to be able to prohibit firearms in public places (HB827). Support the program!Special announcement of a continuing promo with Ting! Are you interested in fast internet?
