In der heutigen Folge nehmen wir euch mit hinter die Kulissen eines der prachtvollsten Luxushotels Wiens: dem Hotel Imperial.Das traditionsreiche Haus am Ring birgt unzählige Geschichten – von seiner Zeit als Palais des Herzogs von Württemberg bis zu seiner Eröffnung als Hotel zur Wiener Weltausstellung 1873 und der bewegten Zeit danach bis zum heutigen Tage. In spannenden Gesprächen erfahren wir mehr über die Geschichte und die Menschen, die das Hotel zu dem machen, was es heute ist. In dieser Folge sprechen mit dem Generaldirektor Thomas van Opstal, der uns als "Dirigent des Hauses" Einblicke in seine Arbeit gibt und treffen den Hotelarchivar Michael Moser, der seit über 40 Jahren die Geheimnisse des Hotel Imperial hütet - von gekrönten Häuptern bis hin zu Hollywood- Regisseuren.

Be the Bridge Board Member, Dr. Will Gravely hosts this conversation with second-generation Latina pastor, activist, author, leading voice on the intersection of faith and justice, and executive director of Chasing Justice Sandra Van Opstal. They explore the concept of peace, particularly in the context of Advent. They discuss the biblical understanding of peace as shalom, which encompasses wholeness, well-being, and communal flourishing. Sandra emphasizes the importance of justice as a response to the absence of peace and the role of individuals in making peace within their communities. Sandra shares her experiences in the West Bank, empowering us to truly walk in shalom. They explore the theological barriers that prevent Christians in the west from fully loving their neighbors and talk about importance of understanding suffering in a global context. They connect these themes to the season of Advent, highlighting justice as a central aspect of the gospel message. Don't miss this powerful episode of the Be the Bridge Podcast!

This Peace Talks conversation with Sandra Maria Van Opstal goes deep into the people and places that shape us. Sandra shares with host Mariah Humphries how reading Scripture with people on the margins inspires her and working in her garden connects her.

She is executive director of Chasing Justice, a BIPOC-led movement that mobilizes the next generation of Christians to live justly.

She served as executive pastor at Grace and Peace Church on Chicago's west side and as an activist in her community. She holds a Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is currently pursuing doctoral work in Urban Leadership and Transformation.

Na een paar weken verlof zijn we terug, en hoe! Een volle tafel bij Loostermans. Gast-host Aranka keert terug voor een podcast met de ontwapendende duizendpoot Anne Van Opstal. Er wordt niet geknipt, maar Gert, Gert en Maarten schuiven wel mee aan tafel en laten zich (bij 2 coaches begot) van hun meest kwetsbare kant zien. We hebben het over succes, falen, imposter syndrome, bindingsangst en verwachtingen die niet altijd ingelost worden (soms is een verhaal gewoon een verhaal, dat nergens naartoe gaat, geen punchline, geen grap, gewoon een wistjedatje!). Aan het einde van de aflevering onthullen Aranka en Anne nog een nieuwtje dat het verdere verloop van de podcast mee zal bepalen!www.annevanopstal.bewww.loostermans.bewww.propergeknipt.be Hosted on Acast.

The CAC aims to raise awareness and gather remote sensing information about the asteroid, which could potentially cause significant damage if it were to impact the planet or even pass through the geo belt where satellites are located.

Ewout en Youp zijn van plan beiden een dikke 300 kilometer te gaan fietsen tijdens de HomeRide. Voor een getrainde fietser is dat prima te doen. Het doel van Robbert van Opstal is van een andere orde. Hij tekent in voor een Halve HomeRun, oftewel: 120 kilometer solo hardlopen.

Warm coffee, America's landscapes, and drinking beers on a Tuesday night. Arjen Van Opstal (Iguana Death Cult) "After the pandemic hit, and the people of the world suddenly grew wary and suspicious of one another, Iguana Death Cult, one of Europe's most exciting rock exports, became more than just a band to its members—it became therapy. “I think for the first ten times we went to jam,” says guitarist/vocalist Tobias Opschoor, speaking about the process of making the new album Echo Palace, “we just drank wine and talked about it, and just kept on talking for hours—and then were like, ‘OK, I have to go because I have to work tomorrow.'” Taking place at frontman Jeroen Reek's apartment in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, these gatherings slowly shifted from talking about this surreal chapter of their lives—the days of quiet streets and cramped buildings—to making music about it. “I was living in a really crappy, leaky, ready-for-demolition apartment,” explains Reek, “with just one heat source—like a really old-school, gas stove kind of thing.” Working on cold nights, they had to gather around that heater together—a cozy approach that ultimately got their creative flow going, fast.Armed with the talents of Justin Boer on bass and Arjen van Opstal on drums, and tapping the keys work Jimmy de Kok for the first time on album, the band took their trademark melodic garage-rock style and expanded it out to make it vibier and looser, with each member contributing ideas to develop the sound palette in full. “We all get into this sort of blender and then everybody gives a little bit of a flavor to it,” says Opschoor."

Het Marineterrein en de Oostelijke eilanden horen bij elkaar. Maar er staat een lange muur tussen. Als de poort op 5 januari 2015 voor het eerst in de geschiedenis opengaat, roert het Buurtplatform zich onmiddellijk: ‘De kwaliteit die wordt gerealiseerd op het Marineterrein, moet ook afstralen op de omgeving.' Dat zet iedereen aan het denken. Het Marineterrein wordt aanvankelijk gepresenteerd als internationaal innovatiegebied maar langzaam verandert die toon. Het Marineterrein moet ook een sociale, innovatieve, leefbare wijk worden. Gasten: Danny Konings, Esther Agricola, Sophie van Opstal

Door tonen te combineren kun je een toon horen die er helemaal niet is! En er bestaat een toon die voor eeuwig omhoog lijkt te gaan. Hoe kan dat?  Door gebruik te maken van de manier waarop onze oren geluid opvangen en verwerken kunnen je oren bedrogen worden. De richting, de samenstelling van tonen en het volume van het geluid speelt daarbij een rol. Maar ook de vorm van je oorschelp, je verwachtingen en je leeftijd zijn van belang. Neurofysicus John van Opstal legt uit hoe je oren werken door te laten zien waarom ze soms juist niet werken. Kom kijken en vooral luisteren.  Auditieve illusies Je oren kun je over het algemeen vertrouwen, maar soms ook niet. Net als onze andere zintuigen, kunnen ze voor de gek worden gehouden. Iedereen kent wel een paar optische illusies: het ronddraaiende danseresje dat soms de ene en soms de andere kant op lijkt te draaien, de twee lijnen die niet even lang lijken maar het wel zijn, en de twee gekleurde vlakjes waarvan je zou zweren dat ze niet dezelfde kleur zijn. Dat er ook illusies zijn die je niet ziet maar hoort, is minder bekend. Kom en ontdek waarom je je oren niet altijd moet geloven.

Over de spreker John van Opstal is hoogleraar Neurofysica aan de Radboud Universiteit en directeur van het Donders Centre for Neuroscience bij de Faculteit der Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informatica. In zijn onderzoek houdt hij zich bezig met het normale gehoorsysteem, maar kijkt hij ook naar plasticiteitsmechanismen als reactie op pathologie. Ook streven hij en zijn onderzoeksgroep ernaar de relaties tussen zintuiglijke stimuli en de resulterende gedragsreactie, zoals snelle blikoriëntatie, te begrijpen. Radboud Sounds Dit programma was onderdeel van Radboud Sounds. Het festival over de wetenschap van muziek met lezingen, dans, livemuziek en meer op vrijdag 12 mei 2023, in Doornroosje, Nijmegen. Tijdens Radboud Sounds vierden we samen met de Radboud Universiteit haar 100-jarig bestaan.

In de laatste aflevering van Start To Immo praat Tijd-journalist Roan Van Eyck met Netto-expert Dirk Selleslagh over alle verplichtingen en aanbevelingen rond de verkoop van een woning.   STRUCTUUR VAN DE AFLEVERING Waarom zou ik verkopen?

Hoe zou het zijn om op straat te leven? Ooit wel eens afgevraagd? Lesley koos er zelf voor... Het was een bijzondere tijd. Ook om te zien hoe je weer uít dat wereldje komt. En Lesley zag; omgeving is alles... Over de gast: Oorspronkelijk startte Lesley zijn loopbaan in de sales. Echter heeft Lesley naast sales nog een andere passie, namelijk: mensen. Door deze interesse rolde Lesley vanuit sales de arbeidsbemiddeling in. Helaas ontdekte Lesley dat de huidige arbeidsmarkt hierin niet altijd meewerkte. Het is Lesley's ambitie hier verandering in te brengen en zo verschenen zijn eerste posts op LinkedIn, met als doel mensen te inspireren om op een moderne wijze te kijken naar hun recruitmentprocessen. Binnen anderhalf jaar groeide zijn netwerk naar 30.000+ actieve volgers en gingen zijn berichten viral. Inmiddels is Lesley een spreker die persoonlijke ontwikkeling, ondernemerschap en recruitment met social media verbindt. Ook traint hij ondernemers en teams in social selling, personal branding, storytelling & LinkedIn. Volg Lesley op:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesleyvanopstal/ Over de host Frank begeleidt al jaren mensen naar hun ideale leven. Hij heeft een unieke methode ontworpen waardoor het zo simpel wordt, dat iedereen het kan. Zijn missie is om mensen te laten inzien wat er ècht toe doet, zodat iedereen zijn unieke waarde kan brengen. Want zodra jij begint met dat te geven, hoef je nooit meer iets te halen. Al meer dan duizend mensen hebben zich niet alleen laten inspireren en enorme inzichten gekregen tijdens zijn shows en trainingen, ze zijn ook overgegaan tot actie. En precies dát, tot actie overgaan, maakt al het verschil in een tijdperk waarin de kans op de loer ligt om toeschouwer te worden van je eigen leven. Laat je inspireren tijdens zijn trainingen, presentaties en podcasts. Maar veel belangrijker zijn de principes. Als je die je eigen maakt, heb je er de rest van je leven voordeel van. “Alles wat je nodig hebt is er al. Je moet het alleen leren zien" Ps: Wil je jouw eigen purpose ontdekken?

Description: What does it mean that God is global? How can we long for and pursue justice in a beautiful way? Sandra Maria Van Opstal is a second-generation Latina and the executive director of Chasing Justice. She is an amazing author and pastor, leader, and activist joining Latasha Morrison on the Be the Bridge Podcast to answer these questions and more. She powerfully reminds us that we are all connected to one another and that we need one another. They discuss the rich gift that immigrants and refugees are to the church. They talk about the importance of mutuality. And they dive into how to develop leaders across cultures. Join Sandra and Latasha as they lament and hope together, and may we journey collectively into The Next Worship. Quotes: “What does it look like to live a lifestyle of justice beyond a hashtag and beyond a protest, but into a lifestyle of compassion and justice?” -Sandra Maria Van Opstal “If I don't consider myself an evangelical, it's because evangelicals don't consider me.

The interagency Civil Applications Committee (CAC) facilitates the appropriate civil uses of overhead remote sensing technologies and data collected by military and intelligence capabilities, including from commercial sources. The CAC is operated and staffed by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Interior and its interagency partners. The director of the U.S. Geological Survey is the chair of the committee, and the vice-chair is a non-Department of the Interior senior official. The CAC ensures certain Federal civil agencies have access to these remotely sensed assets to meet their statutory missions in ways that do not threaten the civil rights, civil liberties, and personal privacy of U.S. citizens. To meets its mandate, the CAC hosts various working groups and communities of interest including those focused on thermal issues (wildland fires and volcanoes), environmental security, and historical satellite imagery. Dan Opstal and Scott Kaplan, with the Civil Applications Committee, discuss the importance of CAC and why having an organization such as this is so important to the community as a whole. They also describe how they are educating individuals and their partners about how CAC can help in their particular missions. Dan also explains some of the challenges in the industry they are trying to mitigate in the industry such as accessibility to data. Scott also went on to elaborate on the need for improved communication between disciplines and how CAC is trying to help with that.

Wessel van Opstal sprak in Haarlem Vandaag, met Wim Kleist van wijkraad Parkwijk-Zuiderpolder, over de opvanglocatie voor zwaar verslaafden. De gemeente had de locatie al in 2018 op het vizier. Na eerder protest is er toen door de hele stad gezocht naar eventueel andere geschikte locaties. Maar nu ook de provincie de laatste overgebleven locaties heeft afgewezen, blijft weer de Nieuweweg over. Kleist verteld, dat er nog genoeg mogelijkheden zijn om de vestiging van een verslaafdenopvang tegen te houden. Wat deze mogelijkheden zijn, hoor je hierboven.

De gemeente Haarlem, wilt een gedeeltelijke vuurwerk verbod gaan invoeren. Op verschillende plekken in de stad mag dan geen vuurwerk afgestoken worden. Burgemeester Jos Wienen noemde het Reinaldapark als voorbeeld van zo'n uitzonderingsgebied. De PvdA is het hier niet mee eens. Zij zien graag een volledig verbod. Wessel van Opstal sprak, in Haarlem Vandaag, met Isabelle Wisse van de PvdA, over waarom de partij een volledig verbod zou willen. Luister het gesprek hierboven terug.

Afgelopen zaterdag ging de boekenweek van start met als thema Tweestrijd. Nu de maatregelen zijn versoepeld, kan er ook weer live gesigneerd worden door schrijvers, iets waar veel boekliefhebbers erg naar uitkijken. Een van de schrijvers die een bezoek brengt aan onze regio is Adriaan van Dis.  Tijdens Haarlem Vandaag sprak de schrijver met presentator Wessel van Opstal over zijn laatste boek KliFi, dat begin dit jaar verscheen. Het boek heeft veel overeenkomsten met de huidige tijd, zoals populisme en klimaatontkenners, maar speelt zich in de toekomst af.  • Adriaan van Dis signeert aanstaande woensdag 2 juni bij boekhandel Blokker in Heemstede.

Iedereen kent de borden ‘Pas op: WhatApp buurtpreventie' wel. Deze manier van buurtpreventie is erg populair in Nederland, maar WhatsApp staat niet bekend om de privacy-vriendelijkheid. Zeker nu het met nieuwe voorwaarden mogelijk wordt om data te delen met moederbedrijf Facebook, vertrekken steeds meer mensen naar andere berichten-apps zoals Telegram of Signal. Toch blijven veel buurten nog op WhatsApp, om de buurtbewoners te informeren over opvallende zaken. Maarten Roelofs woont in de Kleverparkbuurt en wil van zijn buurt de privacyvriendelijkste maken. Hij is een actie gestart om zoveel mogelijk bewoners over te laten stappen naar de berichten-app Signal. Wessel van Opstal sprak Maarten tijdens het radioprogramma Haarlem Vandaag. Luister het hele gesprek hier terug.

Do you hear the people podcast? Hopelijk wel, want vandaag komen we met een heel speciale aflevering! Mark en ik nodigen namelijk Michiel uit voor een gesprek over het immense werk Les Misérables! Hoewel het originele boek geschreven werd door Victor Hugo in 1862, is Les Misérables tegenwoordig meer dan louter een roman. Er bestaan momenteel talloos veel manieren om dit werk te genieten, van films, theaterproducties tot musicals. Voor de aflevering vandaag bespreken we de verschillen tussen drie versies van het verhaal. Mark bekeek de zwart-wit film uit 1934, Michiel zag indertijd de musical opgevoerd in Londen en ikzelf heb het boek gelezen. Onderwerpen genoeg dus om een fijn gesprek te voeren, waar we jullie dan ook allemaal graag voor willen uitnodigen.

Wil je molenaar worden, dan kan je na een opleiding aan de slag in een wind- of watermolen. Maar ook in een maalderij is de kennis van een molenaar onontbeerlijk. Het grote verschil? In een maalderij worden de stenen in beweging gezet door een diesel- of elektromotor en je ben dus niet afhankelijk van water of wind. Pieter Pannecoeck draagt zorg voor de beschermde Patattenmolen met zijn oldtimer elektromotor. De Patattenmolen in Opstal is een stenen korenwindmolen, type grondzeiler, gebouwd in 1816. De windmolen werd stukgeschoten in de Eerste Wereldoorlog en in 1921 opnieuw in gebruik genomen als maalderij. De molenromp is een beschermd monument en eigendom van de gemeente.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.17.384586v1?rss=1 Authors: van de Rijt, L. P. H., van Opstal, J. A., van Wanrooij, M. M. Abstract: The cochlear implant (CI) allows profoundly deaf individuals to partially recover hearing. Still, due to the coarse acoustic information provided by the implant, CI users have considerable difficulties in recognizing speech, especially in noisy environments, even years after implantation. CI users therefore rely heavily on visual cues to augment speech comprehension, more so than normal-hearing individuals. However, it is unknown how attention to one (focused) or both (divided) modalities plays a role in multisensory speech recognition. Here we show that unisensory speech listening and speech reading were negatively impacted in divided-attention tasks for CI users - but not for normal-hearing individuals. Our psychophysical experiments revealed that, as expected, listening thresholds were consistently better for the normal-hearing, while lipreading thresholds were largely similar for the two groups. Moreover, audiovisual speech recognition for normal-hearing individuals could be described well by probabilistic summation of auditory and visual speech recognition, while CI users were better integrators than expected from statistical facilitation alone. Our results suggest that this benefit in integration, however, comes at a cost. Unisensory speech recognition is degraded for CI users when attention needs to be divided across modalities, i.e. in situations with uncertainty about the upcoming stimulus modality. We conjecture that CI users exhibit an integration-attention trade-off. They focus solely on a single modality during focused-attention tasks, but need to divide their limited attentional resources to more modalities during divided-attention tasks. We argue that in order to determine the benefit of a CI for speech comprehension, situational factors need to be discounted by presenting speech in realistic or complex audiovisual environments.

As a special bonus for our listeners, we have created a series to commemorate Inverse Podcast co-host Dr Drew Hart's brand new book Who Will Be a Witness: Igniting Activism For God's Justice, Love and Deliverance. In these additional episodes we will interview friends and co-workers to discuss chapter by chapter Drew's new book. These conversations were recorded in community with friends from around the world as past of Inverse's ongoing work to create formation experiences that deepen our witness to God's justice, love and deliverance. Who Will Be a Witness offers a vision for communities of faith to organize for deliverance and justice in their neighborhoods, states, and nation as an essential part of living out the call of Jesus. Drew provides incisive insights into Scripture and history, along with illuminating personal stories, to help us identify how the witness of the church has become mangled by Christendom, white supremacy, and religious nationalism. He provides a wide range of options for congregations seeking to give witness to Jesus' ethic of love for and solidarity with the vulnerable. At a time when many feel disillusioned and distressed, Drew calls the church to action, offering a way forward that is deeply rooted in the life and witness of Jesus. Drew's testimony is powerful, personal, and profound, serving as a compass that points the church to the future and offers us a path toward meaningful social change and a more faithful witness to the way of Jesus. (Buy Drew's new book here.) This fifth conversation discusses Chapter Six of Who Will Be a Witness with pastor, activist, worship leader and author Sandra Maria Van Opstal.

To estimate multiple latencies from recorded ASSRs, we propose a novel two-stage procedure that consists of a nonparametric estimation method, called apparent latency from phase coherence (ALPC), followed by a heuristic sequential forward selection algorithm (SFS). Compared with existing methods, ALPC requires few prior assumptions, and is straightforward to implement for higher-order nonlinear responses to multi-cosine sound complexes with their initial phases set to zero. It systematically evaluates the nonlinear components of the ASSRs by estimating multiple latencies, automatically identifies involved ASSR components, and reports a latency consistency index (LCI). To verify the proposed method, we performed simulations for several scenarios: two nonlinear subsystems with different or overlapping outputs. We also recorded the EEG from ten normal-hearing adults by bilaterally presenting superimposed tones with four frequencies that evoke a unique set of ASSRs. From these ASSRs, two major latencies were found to be stable across subjects on repeated measurement days. The two latencies are dominated by low-frequency (LF) (near 40 Hz, at around 41-52 ms) and high-frequency (HF) (>80 Hz, at around 21-27 ms) ASSR components. The frontal-central (FC) brain region showed longer latencies on LF components, but shorter latencies on HF components, when compared with temporal-lobe regions. In conclusion, the proposed nonparametric ALPC-SFS method, applied to zero-phase, multi-cosine sound complexes is more suitable for evaluating embedded nonlinear systems underlying ASSRs than existing methods. It is thus promising as an objective measure of hearing performance and auditory cortex (dis)function. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

This week, pastor, activist, and liturgist Sandra Maria Van Opstal challenges us to reimagine the intersection of worship and justice. She explores the impact of white supremacy on an evolving faith, worship, and justice work, leads us to learn from the global church and how justice is sustained. She then places a demand on all of us to move forward and engage. Then Sarah and Jeff have a conversation about the prophet Amos, the balance of contemplation with action, and discomfort. P.S. There is some grown-up language in this episode. Again.

In this episode host Kate Kooyman calls Sandra Maria Van Opstal one of her “justice crushes.” They dive right into conversation about worship and justice starting with Sandra's book The Next Worship. Besides writing books Sandra is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Chasing Justice and the Preaching Pastor at Grace and Peace Church. The Reformed family is a diverse family with a diverse range of opinions. Not all perspectives expressed on the podcast represent the official positions of the Christian Reformed Church.

Sandra Maria Van Opstal joins us to settle the deadlock in this year's Bracketology. But really she's here to talk about how to take justice work seriously - in our every day lives. How can we begin chasing justice?

The church is growing increasingly diverse—but what does this mean for our Sunday morning services? One of the foremost thinkers trying to answer that question is Sandra Maria Van Opstal, a writer, speaker, and pastor at Chicago's Grace and Peace Community who's also a leading champion of multiethnic worship. In pursuit of her calling to mobilize Christians for reconciliation and justice, Van Opstal has led worship for organizations from Willow Creek to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship; trained missions leaders at colleges, churches, and conferences across the country; and recently written a groundbreaking book on why cross-cultural praise is an experience meant for everyone. Like all ministers, though, Van Opstal knows well the challenges that accompany her calling. Getting the church to join together in manifold witness is hard work, after all—especially when you have to juggle day-to-day concerns with the demands of mission. Sound familiar? Then you're in good company. Join CT managing editor Richard Clark as he talks with Van Opstal about her calling to mentor leaders, invigorate worship, and uphold the needful beauty of a diverse church.

As a special bonus for our listeners, we have created a series to commemorate Inverse Podcast co-host Dr Drew Hart's brand new book *Who Will Be a Witness: Igniting Activism For God's Justice, Love and Deliverance.* In these additional episodes we will interview friends and co-workers to discuss chapter by chapter Drew's new book. These conversations were recorded in community with friends from around the world as past of Inverse's ongoing work to create formation experiences that deepen our witness to God's justice, love and deliverance. *Who Will Be a Witness* offers a vision for communities of faith to organize for deliverance and justice in their neighborhoods, states, and nation as an essential part of living out the call of Jesus. Drew provides incisive insights into Scripture and history, along with illuminating personal stories, to help us identify how the witness of the church has become mangled by Christendom, white supremacy, and religious nationalism. He provides a wide range of options for congregations seeking to give witness to Jesus' ethic of love for and solidarity with the vulnerable. At a time when many feel disillusioned and distressed, Drew calls the church to action, offering a way forward that is deeply rooted in the life and witness of Jesus. Drew's testimony is powerful, personal, and profound, serving as a compass that points the church to the future and offers us a path toward meaningful social change and a more faithful witness to the way of Jesus. (Buy Drew's new book [here](http://https://www.amazon.com/Who-Will-Be-Witness-Deliverance/dp/1513806580/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=who+will+be+a+witness&qid=1599640684&s=books&sr=1-1).)
