We hebben het afgelopen jaar veel aandacht besteed aan de oorlog tussen Israël en Hamas, op zoek naar duiding en een beter begrip van dit complexe conflict. Deze podcast, precies een jaar na het begin van de grondoperaties in Gaza, is een belangrijke aflevering in die reeks. We spreken de Palestijns-Nederlandse EO-presentator Kefah Allush. Hij is geboren in de Palestijnse stad Nablus, waar hij als kind het conflict aan den lijve ondervond, en reist als journalist en tv-maker al decennialang door het Midden-Oosten. Hij maakte de series ‘Van Nablus naar Nineve', ‘Oases in de Oriënt' en ‘Jezus van Nazareth'. Je kan hem ook kennen als presentator van het tv-programma ‘De Kist', waarvoor hij in 2019 de Sonja Barend Award won voor beste interviewer. Hoe kijkt Kefah naar deze oorlog? Waar komt de woede van veel Palestijnen tegen Israël en het Westen vandaan? Hoe is het om Palestijn te zijn? En durft hij nog te dromen van vrede? Kefah komt uit een seculier-islamitisch milieu, was een tijdlang hardcore atheïst, maar noemt zich nu een volgeling van Jezus. Palestijnse christenen noemt hij een onderbelichte, vergeten groep met fascinerende historische wortels. David Boogerd spreekt Kefah Allush, uiteraard met vaste gast theoloog Stefan Paas, professor aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

Safouan Azouzi, a Tunisian scholar of the commons and participatory social design, discusses how cultural traditions in desert oases hold important socio-ecological lessons for the world. For the Global South, long victimized by colonialism and capitalist extraction, oases culture embodies an eco-friendly, alternative vision of development. For the industrial West, oases reveals the importance of commoning in building stable, regenerative economies in sync with ecosystem needs. More on the commons at www.Bollier.org.

 Most of the time we are getting unexpected confrontation when we are not be prepared… Then the problems are starting right away…. We try our best to get rid of that confrontation, to suppress it, to ignore it, to avoid it, instead of to embrace it. Because we want to have peace inside of our self and not to lose our control over the situation.The Confrontation is confronting us with our dark, deep, hidden sides, inside of ourselves, and manifest this through our problems in our environment.  If we live a meaningful life, then the confrontation will help us to become better and will support us… Without the confrontation we can't grow, we can't become the expert…. Most of all people are not focused on a goal, for sure confrontation is disturbing… The problem is that the people don't have a compelling goal to go for… Still, they get the same problems/confrontation without getting results as they would live a meaningful life with goals. In this case, the confrontation spiritual as bad. For me is confrontation the salt in the soup… without confrontation, my life would not make sense. For the spiritual path, as a meditation guy is a must to have big confrontations to go deeper inside of myself. This is the reason why Buddha didn't like to have a fixed place to live, because he could understand, that without confrontation no spiritual path can't go far…If we want to go deeper in meditation or to connect on a deeper level with God, we need massive confrontation or challenges. The positive thinker on the inner path wants to exclude every challenge to keep an artificial calmness in their mindOasis  God will chase us out of every Oases so that we have to go through the desert to find an even more beautiful Oases (Sri Aurobindo). My video: Why we need confrontation?  https://youtu.be/wMhzE_zdoEUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.A/Do-we-need-confrontation.mp3

Oases are important sources of water for people, plants, and animals in the world's desert areas.  In fact, oases sustain 10% of the world's population despite taking up only about 1.5% of land area.  They form when groundwater flows and settles into low-lying areas or when surface meltwater flows down from nearby mountains and pools.

"We knew we wanted to do a trip, we didn't know we wanted to do a book"  In 2016, writer and content producer Caroline Clements (Broadsheet's founding editor) and her partner, photographer and environmental scientist Dillon Seitchik-Reardon, quit their jobs to begin a search for Australia's most beautiful beaches, pools and swimming spots. The result was their book Places We Swim: part travel guide, part photo essay and part cultural study. The popularity of their first book quickly led to a second: Places We Swim Sydney and the couple will soon publish their third title Places We Swim California. Caroline and Dillon join the podcast to discuss their favourite swim spots both locally and abroad.  Subscribe on the LiSTNR app to make sure you don't miss an episode.

In this episode, we focus on legal deserts and the lack of access to legal representation in some of North Carolina's rural communities. Our guest is the Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism's (CJCP) Co-Executive Director Jimbo Perry. In addition, we hear from attorneys Sarah Beth Withers (Beaufort) and Reatter Neal (Franklin) who share about living and working as attorneys in rural communities. In the first segment, Perry defines the legal desert issue and describes CJCP's role in recruiting attorneys and increasing access to justice in rural areas of the state. "I've been trying to get the truth out about what is called by many a legal desert, and in my mind the truth is that these places are really a legal oasis," said Perry  on the podcast. "They're a place that can really capture the imagination and heart of why people went to law school in the first place.A "legal desert" is defined as a county which has fewer than one attorney for every 1,000 residents. In North Carolina, 48 counties fit this definition despite having experienced a population growth of almost one million residents over the last decade (2010-2020). One of the reasons for this effect, is that the population growth has occurred in North Carolina's 30 urban counties, with the fastest growth having occurred in the Raleigh, Charlotte, and Wilmington areas. That trend may result in 70% of North Carolina counties going without new attorneys able to provide legal services to residents in small, rural communities. But the attorneys who do locate in designated legal deserts often find high satisfaction in their careers and significant lifestyle improvements over their time spent in urban communities. "You have control over your career. You have control over your family life. It gives you the freedom to set your own calendar and decide what kind of law you want to practice," said Sarah Beth Winters on the podcast. "I don't have to put-in 80+ hours a week to create the lifestyle that I want because living in a rural community is cheaper. It's been able to give me a really strong sense of community and family that's very rewarding."To find out more about legal deserts in North Carolina, please contact the Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism at NCcourts.gov.

We resume our adventures through our Inner Forests, and the return to the beginning prompts us to ask better questions.  I will continue to fuse my life's stories with the voice of the Amazon, and today, I travel back to the memory of the days before my mother's death, the inspiration she became for my daughter's art and how they both have became teachers of humility for me. I also take you to Oaxaca to learn from the masters of the ancestral craft of pottery making and to perhaps create our own Oases of Mechanization within our lives. Let's libate, and remember that to Earth we Belong!

De wereld blijft draaien maar de mensheid vallen eraf...

Tonight, we'll read about desert oases from a book written by H. J. Llewellyn Beadnell and published in 1909. In ecology, an oasis is a fertile area of a desert that sustains plant life and provides habitat for animals. Surface water may be present, or water may only be accessible from wells or underground channels created by humans.  — read by V — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories Learn more about your ad choices.

Dear Colleagues & Friends,Have you ever thought of transportation as an integral part of healthcare?Have you heard the term “transportation desert” used to describe our inner-city, suburban & rural communities?  Are you aware that the literature demonstrates a direct link between the availability of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) and outcomes such as missed appointments, medication adherence, patient safety and healthcare savings?  During the interview with Megan, I was surprised by my own lack of understanding of how important NEMT is as a major contributor to the health outcomes and well-being of our patients and the populations we serve.  Megan herself admits that, prior to joining Lyft, she did not appreciate the profound impact and importance of NEMT, despite having more than 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry. Now, it is her entire focus. Megan Callahan is the VP of Healthcare at Lyft. Prior to her current role at Lyft, Megan served as the Chief Strategy Officer at Change Healthcare. Before that, she served as SVP of corporate strategy and business development for McKesson Technology Solutions, where she oversaw enterprise strategy, business development and M&A for their $3B healthcare IT business. She holds a Masters in Public Health from UCLA.In this interview you’ll hear:Why Lyft is in the business of healthcare, and why healthcare is a growing business within Lyft.How Lyft delivers transportation to patients through health plans & hospital systems - which differs from the commercial approach we’re used to as individual customers.The negative impact of inadequate transportation on healthcare and health; and the important role Lyft plays in the NEMT ecosystem - in terms of lowering costs, improving safety and providing more personalized care.The rapidly expanding role of Lyft in state Medicaid programs, commercial Medicare Advantage programs, and in leading integrated healthcare systems across the country.Here are some key points I came away with from this enlightening conversation with Megan:First - transportation is one of the cornerstones of the ‘social determinants of health’ which are the major non-clinical drivers of health outcomes, accounting for over 60% of health outcomes in our country. As Megan emphasizes, the lack of transportation in healthcare has negative, even devastating, consequences for patients as well as for healthcare delivery systems. Second - although transport to medical appointments is the major reason healthcare systems & health plans utilize Lyft’s services, studies have demonstrated that the vast majority of demand and usage by elderly patients are for trips to the pharmacy, grocery store and to community and family social events. This should come as no surprise given that food insecurity and social isolation are two social determinants that are epidemic in our country and across the globe. Third - in addition to the concrete value proposition Lyft is offering - the transport of people to medical appointments - there is another set of deeper emotional and existential issues that Lyft is solving for. Toward the end of the interview, Megan shares a story of a woman with breast cancer who was immunocompromised due to the chemotherapy she was receiving. This woman was using a traditional shuttle transport to get her to the doctor’s appointments. Because of the ride-sharing, it was taking her two hours each way to get to an appointment!  And, because she was being transported with other patients in the shuttle, she was at high risk for infection because of her immunocompromised status. When she was able to obtain a Lyft transport through her health plan, her travel time decreased to just 20 minutes and she was able to secure an individual ride. Megan’s telling of this story is heart-warming and illustrates not only the clinical but also the human and emotional impact that high quality, reliable and customer-oriented NEMT can have on patients and patient care.I leave you with a bit of a reframe on the work that Lyft is doing. It’s as much about the human touch - about human dignity, decency and empathy, about human connections and relationships - as it is about the new technologies and business models that Lyft is bringing into healthcare. Having spent some time getting to know Megan Callahan I believe she would fully agree with me on that.Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev  

In alle stilte is de afgelopen jaren een heel netwerk van rustpunten ontstaan langs de fietspaden. Het zijn er zeshonderd! En er blijkt een officiële stichting achter te zitten. Die zorgt ervoor dat je op de mooiste plekken van Nederland terecht kunt. Vaak in de middle of nowhere vind je een kop koffie, fietspomp of toilet. En niemand die zeurt over hoe je er uitziet. In deze aflevering van de Spaak een bezoek aan twee van die rustpunten: in de Woudpolder, ergens ten noorden van Krommenie en diep in de bossen, in 't Harde.

Having depicted the possible paths that the future can take in two mainline scenarios, we must now consider the options within the control of the principal actors which will increase or reduce the probabilities of either scenario materialising. While we will concentrate on the options facing companies, multi-level shapeshifting makes it essential to bring countries and individuals into the picture. At the business level, we have nominated the three options: (1) Catwalk; (2) Leophancy; and (3) The Charge of the Heavy Brigade. Our choices today will to a large extent shape our future landscape, whether it be Oases in the Desert or Plains of the Serengeti. Nevertheless, it bears repeating that our own choices as company executives and individuals are undeniably influenced by the direction of the choices being made at a political level. But governments can’t do everything. Ordinary people also hold the fragile destiny of our globe in their hands. Individuals do make a difference, little things do count.

Given the rules of the game and key uncertainties just described, we have chosen two contrasting scenarios to illustrate how the future landscape of business and the world could turn out. As mentioned already, the actual outcome will partly depend on the options we choose over the coming decade. The two scenarios are: (1) Oases in the Desert; and (2) Plains of the Serengeti. Remember scenarios are stories of what can happen in the future – they are not forecasts of what is going to happen. Their purpose is to educate rather than prescribe.

Fr. Roberto Ubertino shares a bit about how the St. John the Compassionate Mission got started. He talks about the needs in society that can only be met by the Church. With the power of the Holy Spirit and creativity, everyone's gifts can be used to become a place of love, welcome, and togetherness.

In this episode, I continue working my way through the peoples, places, and in this episode, the things found in the book of Exodus. Like I promised last week, in this episode I circle back to both date palms and oases, as seen earlier in the book. Then, forging ahead, I cover reeds, as seen in the Sea of Reeds, but also in the beginning of the book when Moses was placed in a papyrus basket among the reeds. I also cover the dry measurement known as an omer and the Sinai Peninsula. After listening, let me know what you think.

Hello. I’m Professor Dr Wayne Visser and in this podcast series, I share my reflections on what it means to be purpose-inspired, whether as an organisation, an individual or even as a whole society. It is really the story of my own exploration over the past 20 years of how business can be a force for good in the world, and how individuals can make a positive difference. I have organized the podcast chronologically, so you join me on the journey and see how key ideas evolve over time. As we go, you will notice the ebb and flow of global trends, the entry and exit of pioneering companies, and the twisting kaleidoscope of responses to the world’s greatest challenges. Over the past 30 years, I have travelled to more than 75 countries and captured my learning in more than 20 books on topics like corporate social responsibility and sustainable business. For each series, I have selected one book that synthesizes the emerging ideas, practices and lessons learned on the journey to being purpose-inspired. And I have tried to make each podcast a bite-size chunk of around 15 or 20 minutes. Some of you will be faithful companions for the entire trip, across multiple series. Others will tag along for a while, dipping in and out according to their interest. All of you are most welcome.In the inaugural series, we begin with my very first book – and one that I am in many ways still the most proud of. The book’s title is Beyond Reasonable Greed: Why Sustainable Business is a Much Better Idea, although I originally wanted to call it Shapeshifting. The reason is because I use a fun wildlife metaphor throughout the book, arguing that companies need to shift from acting like predatory lions to being more like elephants, which are wise, gentle and highly collaborative creatures. We end by exploring two scenarios for the world, called Oases in the Desert and Plains of the Serengeti. In subsequent series, I will share different approaches and ideas that emerged from other books of mine, like Business Frontiers, Making a Difference, The Age of Responsibility, The Quest for Sustainable Business and Sustainable Frontiers. I look forward having you along for the ride. Please do invite your friends to join us – the more the merrier. We are at a crucial time in our history where the problems are urgent, complex and in desperate need of innovative solutions. So the more we can share our ideas and knowledge – and the more we can all be purpose inspired – the better our chances of creating a future in which our children, and the other life we share this planet with, can not only survive, but positively thrive.

“Greed is good”. Some of you might remember the phrase immortalized by Michael Douglas who played Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie Wall Street. Well, the world has more than lived up to these words by pursuing the principle that excessive greed is even better. In a critical analysis of the principles driving modern business, Series 1 of the Purpose Inspired podcast by Wayne Visser demonstrates that the predatory behavior of the lion is symbolic of the way most companies are run today. But the world cannot go on like this. The podcast, which is based on the book “Beyond Reasonable Greed” by Wayne Visser and Clem Sunter, argues strongly for an alternative and more positive vision involving sustainable business in both a social and an environmental sense. In order to achieve this, companies will need to change – to shapeshift – from the tooth-and-claw logic of lions to the more caring, holistic philosophy of the elephant.But what does this mean in practice? The podcast unpacks what is really meant by sustainability and sets out seven steps to create sustainable commerce, including a renewed focus on values, vision, work, governance, relationships, communication and services. We also look at what is required for sustainable economics, through new perspectives on measures, externalities, markets, investments, money, banking and trade. And then we look to the future, exploring two scenarios for the medium to long term: Oases in the Desert, where the corporate lions continue to rule, but their kingdoms are increasingly restricted by their own destructive behavior and popular discontent; and Plains of the Serengeti, where companies shapeshift into elephants which strive for a proper balance between cooperation and competition and a continuing diversity of species, large and small, strong and weak. The podcast concludes that multi-level shapeshifting is required for sustainability. Apart from corporate transformation, it is up to governments on the one hand and each and every one of us as individuals on the other to adopt the persona of an elephant in order to pass on a worthwhile heritage to our children. Join us on the journey, as we transform business fangs and claws into tusks and trunks.

Welcome to Season Two, apparently, where we try to introduce the "show," like shows are wont to do. In a rare display of responsible continuity, Cricket reveals their Vitamin Vape finds, while Jeff, fake ID in tow, reconnects with gypsykind in the form of solicited contraband. We return, however briefly, to the main conceit. Topics include: Causality, Drunk Driving, Heat Death vs. Nuclear Winter, Comfy Girls, BurpCount: 10, and Guns.

We have a LOT to talk about in the world of gaming, then Reputation, Nomads, Oases and Spectral Corsair.

Hi people welcome again to [The Everything Full Fledged Reality Show] *Live at 10Pm.Est. Call in line is, 347-826-9733. The Full Fledged Reality Show has a new host by the name AviviYah... AviviYah's guest today, Lawrence in South Africa is stating that history aross the earth as pressing local political situations ect. demand that people become as self-sufficient as practically possible within the current occult paradigm that is gripping the world. This need for self-sufficiency extends to every aspect of life so a physical oasis is akin (related) to an Israeli kibbutz that caters for every need of it inhabitants, including grave yards and clinics. To be self-sufficient extends to marketing products and services of diverse types to earn ‘foreign’ revenue as long as the governing politicians allow it Lawrence says... Lawrence's and many others vision for starting a physical oasis was given to him over 5 years ago and with increasing smaller visions as to how to deploy it and an ever increasing urgency to have "Kiebut Zims" (communitys of protection operational . Lawrence says the overall need is for a few physical oases to be deployed over the shortest possible period of time with planning far in advanced. AviviYah's guest Lawrence from South Africa and others around the world in like mindedness OBJECTIVES are~1.To become self-sufficient in the shortest possible time (ie months, not years) 2.To become a refuge for those led to us (eg Project Step-Thru) 3.To ensure a wonderful ‘eldership’ (No Jim Jones, please!) 4.To prepare in the shortest possible time for the flood of people requiring shelter and other basic necessities of life.The people of the "Kiebut Zim Projects" anticipate Torah obervant people coming from the US and Europe as refugees escaping from the evil, demonic isis and upcoming WWIII.
