Floortje Scheepers is psychiater en hoogleraar Innovatie in de GGZ aan het UMC Utrecht. Ze pleit voor een fundamenteel andere kijk op de geestelijke gezondheidszorg, waarin niet de diagnose maar de mens centraal staat. Met haar boek Mensen zijn ingewikkeld (2021) zette zij haar visie uiteen op de beperkingen van het huidige psychiatrische systeem en de noodzaak van meer persoonsgerichte zorg. Ze werkte in 2025 mee aan het rapport Op de rem – voorbij de hypernerveuze samenleving. Teddy Tops gaat met Floortje Scheepers in gesprek.

Floortje Scheepers is kinder- en jeugdpsychiater en was eerder te gast in de archiefkast. Ze houdt zich bezig met innovatie binnen de GGZ. Samen met Gijs spreekt ze over haar zorgen rond AI. Volgens Scheepers dreigen we ‘basale menselijke skills’ te verliezen. Er is al een generatie met bel-angst en straks komt er een generatie die misschien wel alle vormen van menselijk contact eng vindt. En dat is zorgelijk, vindt Scheepers.

Primal Fear was formed in 1997 in Germany by vocalist Ralf Scheepers (formerly of Gamma Ray) and bassist/producer Mat Sinner (of Sinner). The band emerged after Scheepers was considered for the vocal slot in Judas Priest—a move that didn't happen but fueled his desire to create a powerful new metal force. The result was Primal Fear, rooted in traditional heavy metal with a modern power metal edge.Their self-titled debut album, Primal Fear (1998), was released through Nuclear Blast and quickly gained attention for its aggressive riffing, thunderous rhythms, and Scheepers' soaring vocals. Follow-ups like Jaws of Death (1999), Nuclear Fire (2001), and Black Sun (2002) cemented their reputation, especially across Europe and Japan, where their Judas Priest-influenced sound resonated with classic metal fans.Over the years, Primal Fear experienced various lineup changes but remained anchored by Scheepers and Sinner. Guitarists like Tom Naumann, Stefan Leibing, Henny Wolter, and Magnus Karlsson (still with the band) contributed to their evolving sound. Despite changes, the band kept releasing acclaimed albums like Seven Seals (2005), 16.6 (2009), Unbreakable (2012), and Delivering the Black (2014).In 2020, Primal Fear released Metal Commando, marking their first release with Nuclear Blast's new offshoot, Atomic Fire Records. It debuted to strong reviews, showcasing their consistent energy and musical precision even decades in. The album was a statement that the band had no plans of slowing down.In 2023, they released Code Red, an album praised for its intensity and melodic power. With drummer Michael Ehré officially joining the lineup and Tom Naumann returning full-time, Primal Fear entered a new era of tight musicianship and renewed energy. After over 25 years, Primal Fear remains one of the strongest names in European heavy metal, known for powerful vocals, crushing riffs, and a commitment to keeping metal alive and loud.In a candid sit-down with legendary frontman Ralf Scheepers of Primal Fear, the powerhouse vocalist opened up about the band's latest chapter—welcoming new members, unleashing a hard-hitting new album, and gearing up for a global tour that promises to bring metal mayhem to every corner of the stage. Scheepers, known for his unmistakable vocal range and commanding presence, was energized and optimistic as he discussed what fans can expect from the current incarnation of Primal Fear.

Behind successful films is an army of people creating the magic we see on screen. In the case of animated films, that means 24 painstaking frames per second to bring characters to life — ones our kids and we have come to love. One of those creators is a South African born in Pretoria who moved from satellite imagery at CSIR to become a digital effects artist at Pixar. Ferdi Scheepers has worked on The Incredibles, Toy Story, and most recently, Disney's sci-fi adventure Elio. Now on his 19th film for Pixar, he told Biznews in an interview that he was also part of the team behind Piper, the Oscar-winning short that took home Best Animated Short Film in 2017.

Welcome to Episode 72 of the Building Better Games Podcast! We're getting back into flow, this time focusing on players and game design. Kevin Scheepers, the founder of FlowMate and GameWell, will be talking about how you can build flow into your games to improve engagement. Have you ever felt completely immersed in a game, losing track of time and becoming one with the experience? Or wondered how developers can intentionally craft this feeling for players? Knowing how flow works for players will help you create captivating and seamless gaming experiences that keep players hooked. Key Points: Understanding Flow: Flow is the state where players lose themselves in the game, merging action and awareness. It involves a loss of self-consciousness and time distortion, creating a deeply immersive experience. Flow in Game Design: Developers can foster flow by designing clear goals, balancing challenge and skill, and minimizing distractions. Personalized experiences tailored to individual player profiles keep the flow state active. Triggers and Blockers of Flow: Flow is triggered by the balance between challenge and skill; too much or too little breaks the state. Distractions or unclear mechanics can block flow, and understanding these factors is key. Designing for Flow Phases: There are four phases of flow: struggle, release, flow, and recovery. It's crucial for games to guide players through these phases for optimal engagement. Games that understand and incorporate these phases can keep players coming back for more.   Future of Flow in Gaming: Kevin and I look into the future, discussing adaptive technologies that could personalize flow experiences for each player. Understanding different player types and motivations will be key to designing games that maintain flow over long periods. Mastering the concept of flow will give you a step up in crafting games that are not just enjoyable but profoundly engaging. Whether you're a game developer aiming to create unforgettable experiences or a gamer curious about what makes some games so compelling, this episode is filled with insights you won't want to miss.

Welcome to the BBG podcast, episode 70! In today's episode, Ben dives deep into the concept of flow with Kevin Scheepers, founder of FlowMade and GameWell. If you've ever wondered how to enhance collaboration in your dev teams or struggled with balancing a chaotic calendar, this episode is for you. Kevin shares his passion for creating high-functioning game studios by focusing on organizational flow. Key Points:   Understanding Flow: Flow is an optimal state where individuals perform and feel their best. Kevin highlights that it's an active state, merging awareness with the activity. You won't ALWAYS be in flow.   Individual vs. Organizational: Individual flow requires focus and uninterrupted work. Organizational flow needs team alignment towards a shared goal.     Triggers and Blockers: Flow is triggered by a balance between challenge and skill. Blockers include stress and distractions; “eustress” can enhance performance.   Creating an Environment: Leaders can foster flow by setting clear goals and reducing distractions. Balancing team and individual needs is crucial for maintaining flow.   Compliment: Ironically, compliments can disrupt flow by shifting focus to the self. Kevin suggests praising the work rather than the person to sustain flow.     Leadership: Leadership is key to nurturing flow, requiring clear communication. Understanding the organization at both macro and micro levels supports flow. Kevin Scheepers leaves us with valuable advice on designing game studios that thrive on flow, encouraging leaders to map out their team's strengths and challenges. By understanding the unique makeup of your team and the processes that drive flow, you can unlock new levels of creativity and productivity in game development.

Als leider heb je een flinke dosis moed nodig om organisatiedoelen te bereiken. Verbindend leiderschap heeft dan ook alles te maken met moedig leiderschap.

Today we're looking at the new release from US power metallers Immortal Guardian entitled Unite And Conquer. I'll begin with the album's first track, “Ozona.” This one is very representative of Immortal Guardian's approach generally, and would be at home on any of their other releases, as it displays what the band does so well. The flurry of melded guitar and keys at the beginning is classic Gabriel Guardian! There are some good riffs to be found here, albeit not super hooky. The versing is kinda so-so, to be honest, but when the chorus hits you there's some great syncopation and unity of sound and direction. And the time-change accompanying Zima's plaintive “whoa-oahs” at the end is just icing on the cake – really drawing the listener in to the magic of this song. Like so many of their tracks, I can find imperfections when I break them down into their components, but the sum of the performance is typically greater than the parts. Jumping ahead to song three in the listing we find the energetic yet evocative “Roots Run Deep.” This one features guest vocals from the mighty Ralf Scheepers of Primal Fear. I love Scheepers as a singer, and think his is a nice contribution, but honestly Zima's voice is the star here. The baritone intro he gives at the beginning is absolute gold – you won't hear many genuinely metal songs that include that brand of vocal delivery, much less in a way that fits so seamlessly with the feel of this song. Uptempo with great kitwork by drummer Justin Piedimonte, I really can't get enough of this one! Further in we find “Lost In The Darkness,” another track with guest vox, this time from the amazing Vicky Psarakis, formerly of The Agonist. Much like in the previously discussed song, Psarakis' assist is solid but serves best as a foil to launch Zima's own stellar crooning. I just love the trade off lead vocals, with each singer trying to out do the other. And Guardian's solo is fire – the perfect length and tone. My final song to highlight is “Divided We Fall”, and if I had to choose one track on the album it would likely be this. The thing I most love about “Divided” is that, in a number of respects, the band kinda keeps it right on the edge musically. The bridge in particular is a very haphazard sonic skittering where I feel like the band is at any point about to take the song off the rails… but somehow they pull it off and transition into that moderate paced but beautiful verse. Zima really pushed himself to his limits on this one to great effect exuding killer voice control. Those are my favs, but the other six tracks each have something to offer as well. I'll admit I've not given Carlos Zima his proper due as a singer, initially in my own mind lumping him in with a subgroup of singers having surface vocal similarities. But Zima is a hell of a singer, and he definitely proves it on this album with some of his best performances to date. We haven't touched on “Un Dia A La Vez,” a song where he opens himself to some ranges he hasn't on any previous Immortal Guardian track, so very beautiful and in some parts almost feminine in his delivery. And the album finale “Rise Of The Phoenix” has him able to convey emotional subtleties before exploding into a scream machine. Gabriel Guardian is truly remarkable in his approach utilizing both the guitars and keys as true twin lead instruments. Guardian has the keys in the foreground bringing loud, tight notes and driving that lead melody. There's a lot of work Guardian puts into building these compositions such that the instruments complement and don't clash. I'm giving Unite And Conquer a 8 ½ out of ten rating. It's absolutely worth your time to check out. Support Immortal Guardian by purchasing Unite And Conquer from M-Theory Audio.

Find peers and exchange information. You can reach out to me (Scott) but there are also many leaders that want to exchange information with each other.

In a disappointing development, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has announced the appointment of only six preferred bidders, with a combined capacity of 1 000 MW, following the evaluation of bids made during South Africa's latest renewables procurement round. All six are solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, with none of the 23 wind projects submitted under Bid Window 6 (BW6) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) attaining preferred-bidder status. The low conversion rate came despite BW6's initial allocation being raised from 2 600 MW to 4 200 MW as part of measures announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in July to tackle what has now become extreme loadshedding. A total of 56 wind and solar PV projects were submitted by the early-October deadline, with a combined capacity of more than 9 600 MW. In addition, only solar projects in the North West and Free State provinces received appointment letters, with the bulk of the remaining 27 solar projects failing to secure grid access. The projects named as preferred bids include the 150 MW Kutlwano solar power plant, the 150 MW Boitumelo solar power plant and the 120 MW Doornkop PV facility, all in the North West; as well as the 240 MW Virginia solar park and the 200 MW Good Hope solar park, in the Free State. The IPP Office confirmed that BW6 was now formally closed except for an engagement that would take place with the one additional eligible bidder. IPP Office head Bernard Magoro confirmed that access to the Eskom grid had emerged as a major constraint during the bidding round, with the indicative capacity available in the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape provinces at the launch of BW6 in April having subsequently been absorbed by private projects. Magoro explained market dynamics had changed materially during the bid window, as a result of a reform allowing distributed generators below 100 MW to proceed without a licence - a cap that will be eliminated entirely in the coming months. That reform had the “unintended consequence” of grid being reserved for private projects, which Magoro acknowledged could advance more rapidly than is possible under the REIPPPP, partly because the REIPPPP projects are backed by a government guarantee and were, thus subject to conditions relating to ownership, local content and socioeconomic development. Eskom transmission MD Segomoco Scheepers said the Grid Code dictated that Eskom provide non-discriminatory access to the network and it could, thus, not reserve grid access for REIPPPP projects where an interest had been shown but where no financial commitment had been made. Eskom also had no queuing system for grid access, which left the BW6 projects vulnerable, as they were unable to apply for budget quotes before being awarded preferred-bidder status, with only cost estimate letters required for bid submission. In the event, the capacity initially indicated to be available in Eskom's Generation Connection Capacity Assessment was no longer available by the time BW6 bidders were in a position to make such commitments. Scheepers insisted that Eskom had both short- and long-term plans to extend and strengthen the grid, which is necessary to connect and transport much-needed new generation capacity, especially in the Cape provinces. Eskom's latest Transmission Development Plan points to the need for a significant acceleration in grid-related investments to facilitate the integration of 53 GW of new generation capacity, mostly renewables, over the next ten years. Covering the period from 2023 to 2032, the latest edition of the plan, which is published yearly, points to the need for the construction of 14 218 km of new high-voltage transmission lines over the period. It also outlines the need for the deployment of 170 transformers, with a capacity of 105 865 MVA, along with 40 capacitors and 52 reactors to support stable and reliable grid operations and the integration of new generation c...

Scheepers insisted that Eskom had both short- and long-term plans to extend and strengthen the grid, which is necessary to connect and transport much-needed new generation capacity, especially in the Cape provinces. Eskom's latest Transmission Development Plan points to the need for a significant acceleration in grid-related investments to facilitate the integration of 53 GW of new generation capacity, mostly renewables, over the next ten years. Covering the period from 2023 to 2032, the latest edition of the plan, which is published yearly, points to the need for the construction of 14 218 km of new high-voltage transmission lines over the period. It also outlines the need for the deployment of 170 transformers, with a capacity of 105 865 MVA, along with 40 capacitors and 52 reactors to support stable and reliable grid operations and the integration of new generation c...

Jaarlijks komen er 1.2 miljoen aanvragen binnen bij ggz-instellingen. Niet al die aanvragen horen binnen de ggz thuis; problemen kunnen aan de voorkant opgelost worden als de hulpvrager gedegen hulp krijgt van bijvoorbeeld de huisarts of het sociale team van de gemeente. Onze gasten:  Ruth Peetoom, sinds 1 september voorzitter van de Nederlandse ggz.   Floortje Scheepers, hoogleraar Innovatie in de Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg, als hoofd van de afdeling Psychiatrie verbonden aan het UMC Utrecht en voorzitter van de Kwaliteitsraad van het ZorgInstituut Nederland.    De ggz is aan herziening toe, pleiten onze gasten. Het individu (met mentale klachten) wordt nu vaak probleemeigenaar gemaakt en dat lost weinig op. Want mentale ontregeling is het gevolg van interacties met de buitenwereld. Iemand kan bijvoorbeeld depressieve- en spanningsklachten hebben door schulden en huisvestingsproblemen. Als gemeente en woningstichting betrokken zijn en dat probleem oplossen, is er veel leed te voorkomen.  Ook pleiten ze voor een discussie wat 'mentale gezondheid' inhoudt. Daar hoort het besef bij, dat niet alles in het leven mooi en maakbaar is, zoals bijvoorbeeld sociale media schetsen. Als mensen accepteren dat pech, ziekte en moeilijkheden ook bij het leven horen, zouden al veel minder mensen ongelukkig zijn, aldus Scheepers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Te gast is hoogleraar psychiatrie Floortje Scheepers en we spreken naar aanleiding van haar boek Mensen zijn ingewikkeld. Floortje schreef het boek omdat zij zich zorgen maakt over hoe de taal van de psychiatrie, de biomedische en brain based taal en het denken in termen van gemiddelden en modellen, zo veel onderdeel is geworden van het denken van veel mensen in onze samenleving.  Gevolg is dat we het menselijk karakter in bv. de geestelijke gezondheidszorg uit het oog verliezen, met alles wat daarbij hoort, zoals onze ervaringen, gevoelens, betekenissen, biografie en onze interacties met anderen en met wat we tegenkomen in het leven. Haar boek en ons gesprek is een pleidooi tegen de maakbare mens, tegen de maakbare samenleving en tegen de maakbare wetenschap. Denk niet in reductionistische termen van fixen van individuen en problemen, maar in inclusieve termen van collectieve intelligentie, interactie en dialoog. Iedereen, alle perspectieven en ook het tonen van kwetsbaarheid, zijn nodig om samen mens te zijn. Voor kinderen en jongeren in het onderwijs wenst Floortje dat er aandacht is voor hun positieve mensontwikkeling. Richt je niet zozeer op hun leeropbrengsten, maar op hun positieve ervaringen als mens. Daarbij hoort ook het leren omgaan met negatieve ervaringen en tegenslag. Ze wenst leidinggevenden toe dat je aandacht hebt voor de collectieve wijsheid en dat je daarbij ook oog hebt voor collega's die misschien voor jou ongewenst gedrag vertonen. Als je nieuwsgierig luistert en doorvraagt, geven ook zij waardevolle inzichten aan het team. Haar leestip is het boek Helgoland van Carlo Rovelli dat haar de rustgevende ervaring gaf dat we allemaal een onderdeel zijn van een groter geheel. Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door ATTC, schoolleidersopleiding in Hilversum en Arkade onderwijsadvies.

Bernard Scheepers van Ermelo se verhaal is sowel hartroerend as inspirerend. Nadat hy op tragiese wyse altwee sy ouers verloor het in ‘n wrede aanval op hul plaas in 1997, wou hy aanvanklik nie meer boer nie. Hy het begin rondspeel in die eiendomsmark, as ‘n veiliger alternatief tot landbou, maar hoewel hy mettertyd ‘n indrukwekkende portefeulje van eiendomme regoor Suid-Afrika opgebou het, het Bernard intussen, ten spyte van die familie-tragedie, sy passie vir die plaas herontdek. So veel so, dat hy oor die afgelope twee dekades die boerdery meer as vervierdubbel het...

It's an amazing to think that back in 2017 I was thinking about this podcast and whether I should go ahead and cover a topic that was missing on both iTunes and general podcasting. Jumping in and starting in October 2017, the plan was to follow the war as it wound its way through the next three or so years. Now we're on episode 100! We're now well into year two and this podcast series will wrap up at the same time as the Boer war - in May next year. I've tracked the incidents, events and issues through the war on a week by week basis so we're now in August 1901 and as you heard last week, Breaker Morant and his murderous Bushveld Carbineers have been busy across the north of the Transvaal. In the Free State, hundreds of Boers are beginning to arrive close to the Cape Colony border where they'll join up with General Jan Smuts who has been riding from the Transvaal and plans an invasion into the colony. The winter temperatures begin to ease in August. South Africa's high veld as I've explained experiences quite bitter winters with below freezing conditions for most of June and July. However by mid to late August, winds begin to blow and the sun which has been angled low in the north starts rising earlier, setting later and warming everyone. Not a moment too soon. In the Concentration camps now dotted around the interior, the death rate has been creeping up. There are now officially 100 000 Boer civilians - mostly women and children, who are incarcerated in these camps, with another 60 000 black civilians at least. These numbers are now known to have been conservative. Lord Kitchener had published his infamous proclamation of August 7th with an ultimatum to all the Boers' political and military leaders from commandants down to the heads of what he called ‘armed bands'. Anyone who hadn't surrendered by 15th September would be exiled from South Africa for life. What's more, those who had families in the Concentration Camps would be forced to pay for their maintenance which naturally meant their land and property would be seized. This would hit them where it hurt most, he thought. And of course, it would. But General Christiaan de Wet and other hardliners shrugged off Kitchener's threat. There were other ideas beginning to float around at this time. Why shouldn't the British rid themselves of the Boers altogether? This has an ominous sound to it, doesn't it? Kitchener ran his idea of rounding up all the Boers, women, children, old, young, from the camps as well as the 20 000 men in prisoner of war camps overseas. Why not pack these people off to a new region - Fiji perhaps? Willem Leyds had heard some of these wild plans before, but in August 1901 he was shocked when one of these wild plans came from a man by the name of Hyram Maxim. He was a 61 year-old American who had become a naturalised British subject and one of the last people that Queen Victoria had bestowed a knighthood before she died as I mentioned in an earlier podcast. The honour was conferred on Maxim as an inventor. He claimed to have invented the lightbulb, but that was debatable, but he had invented a number of machines including the mousetrap, the merry-go-round and, terrifingly, the machine gun. At the beginning of the letter dated August 1901, Maxim professed to be well disposed towards the Boers. Maxim wrote to Kruger that because of the British numerical superiority, they were inevitably going to win the war. But, there was a way out of this morass believed Maxim. And the horrible truth is that he was completely correct in his basic analysis. The British, by pure dint of their numerical and financial superiority, were going to win the war because they still wanted to win it. So what to do, thought Maxim? Simple, he said. The Boers were going to leave South Africa en masse to establish a new colony in the north of Mexico.

Deneys Reitz had broken his own leg in a freak accident and was still hobbling about, his compound fracture causing some pain. General de la Rey ordered him to a small medical camp behind the lines near Hartbeespoort which is west of Pretoria. There he was recovering when the British launched an attack on the Boers. Reitz saddled his horse and galloped to the ridge overlooking the British. But there was no much they could do - there were about 12 000 English versus 600 Boers. The casualties were light, although the British artillery were accurate enough and caused the Boers to fall back from ridge to ridge. By two in the afternoon the English gave up the chase. They rested their horses after the Generals' ironic speech, and then under the cover of dark rode further away. An amazing sight greeted the men as they crested a rise that night - it was called the Great Comet of 1901, Comet Viscara. But as they rode, a boyish voice from the darkness called out Vlug means retreat, another example of the sense of humour of soldiers making the best of a bad situation. The Royal Observatory in Cape Town, the Argentine National Observatory and the Government observatory in Perth Australia shared their scientific evaluation which put the Comet at 79 million miles from Earth. While the comet caused the Prophet van Rensburg some excitement, there was more excitement in the Cape. Kritzinger was back in the Midlands and causing trouble, while Gideon Scheepers was about to commit a war crime. He shot dead two black troops who'd fired on his men from a farmhouse, saying "it was a white man's war". He was to pay for that act with this life after being captured.
