Lonnie van Brummelen is filmmaker. Ze werkt sinds 2002 samen met Siebren de Haan aan filmprojecten. Zo maakten ze films als ‘Episode of the sea' en ‘Stenen hebben wetten', over de Surinaamse Marrons. Hun filmprojecten vestigen de aandacht op het ethische ongemak dat hoort bij het hedendaagse geëngageerde kunstenaarschap. Kunstenaars proberen met goede bedoelingen het leven van onderdrukte gemeenschappen in beeld brengen. Maar wiens belang wordt het meest gediend? Op IDFA draait haar nieuwe film ‘Monikondee', die ze samen met Tolin Erwin Alexander en Siebren de Haan maakte. In deze documentaire volgen zijbootsman Boogie. Hij vervoert essentiële vracht naar inheemse- en Marrongemeenschappen langs de grensrivier tussen Suriname en Frans-Guyana.

Welkom bij aflevering 80 van Royal Tea! Ja, echt 80! Deze week praten Rick en Odilia over alles wat de royal-wereld bezighield:

Na haar podcast Kweekje, mi kwekipikin dacht Nicole Terborg haar eigen familiegeschiedenis te hebben verteld. Maar na de uitzending stroomden de reacties binnen: van mensen uit Suriname, Curaçao, Aruba en Nederland die zichzelf herkenden in haar verhaal. Hun berichten lieten Nicole niet meer los. In deze bonusaflevering gaat ze op bezoek bij vijf van hen: Cheryl, Guno, Florence, Naïra en Nzinga, allemaal kweekjes van verschillende generaties. Hun verhalen tonen hoe groot en veelzijdig deze gedeelde geschiedenis is: vol liefde en zorg, maar ook van gemis, migratie en veerkracht.    Deze bonusaflevering van Kweekje, Wij waren allemaal kweekjes is ook een co-productie van OVT en Prospektor en  kwam tot stand met steun van het Fonds BJP Journalistiek+, het Cultuurfonds, het Amarte Fonds, OSCAM, de Gemeente Amsterdam en het Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK). 

Major League Soccer just dropped one of the biggest announcements in its 30-year history, and we unpack all of it on today's Morning Espresso. Jason walks through the new 2027–28 calendar shift — what a July-to-May season really means for clubs, players, transfers, and fans — plus the changes coming to the Apple TV deal as MLS goes fully unlocked for subscribers in 2026.From there, it's a global tour of World Cup qualifying drama. We hit Suriname's surge, Curacao's shot at history, and the chaos in Honduras' group in Concacaf, then jump to Europe for France clinching, Ronaldo's red, Norway and Italy's showdown, England's perfect run, and the Faroe Islands' against-the-odds story. We also dive into Africa and Asia's playoff paths, Northern Ireland's tightrope in Group A, and how all of it shapes the road to 2026 in North America.Plus, Carlo Ancelotti settles into life with Brazil, Jorge Carrascal makes his case as Colombia's next key creator, and we salute the new National Soccer Hall of Fame class headlined by Heather O'Reilly, Tobin Heath, and Chris Wondolowski. We wrap with The Refill: South Korea and Japan's friendlies, Ghana's struggles, Barcelona's Camp Nou return, Boca's coaching future, college soccer in Cary, and Houston's Impact 2026 legacy push.

Noorwegen staat met anderhalf been op het WK 2026. Alleen een monsternederlaag in en tegen Italië zou Haaland & co nog van de groepswinst kunnen houden. Frankrijk is sinds gisteren zeker van WK-deelname, Portugal nog niet. Bovendien zag Roberto Martinez aanvoerder Cristiano Ronaldo rood pakken voor een elleboogstoot. Moet hij een lange schorsing vrezen? In Afrika strijden Nigeria en Congo voor het laatste WK-ticket en ook in Midden-Amerika begint de WK-koorts stilaan te stijgen bij Curaçao, Suriname en Haïti.Romelu Lukaku komt deze interlandperiode niet in actie bij de Rode Duivels, maar kwam wel in het nieuws. De topschutter aller tijden van onze nationale ploeg kocht zich in bij Tout Bien, het biermerk van Average Rob. Dat doet ons panel stilaan afvragen waar die gulle sponsors voor Teletekst 500 blijven.

In deze aflevering van Wie Wat Bewaart interviewt Jeroen de Vries de gasten over de tentoonstelling Not my soul, te zien in het Allard Pierson, en over de tentoonstelling Nederland, wordt beter! te zien in Beautiful Distress. Het Allard Pierson en het Nationaal Slavernijmuseum presenteren Not My Soul, een tentoonstelling over slavernij in Suriname in relatie tot slavernij in de oudheid. Welke invloed had het Romeins recht op de manier waarop slavernij in Suriname werd geregeld? En hoe gaven slaafgemaakten het dagelijks leven en hun zoektocht naar vrijheid vorm in beide periodes, we spreken hierover met Isabelle Best. De tentoonstelling Nederland, Wordt Beter! belicht de activistische strijd van deze beweging, bekend van campagnes als Zwarte Piet is Racisme en Kick Out Zwarte Piet. De beweging, opgericht in 2010, zet zich al 15 jaar in voor een samenleving zonder racisme en uitsluiting. Op 5 december 2025 draagt de stichting het stokje over aan de volgende generatie. De tentoonstelling laat zien hoe deze acties tot stand kwamen en welke impact ze hebben gehad. Deze is te zien in Beautiful Distress (NDSM terrein). Imara Limon licht ons nader in. * Isabelle Best is conservator Surinamica van het Allard Pierson * Imara Limon is Hoofdconservator van het Amsterdam Museum Foto : Quinsy Gario, Kunstproject “Zwarte Piet Is Racisme”, 2011-2012, Amsterdam Museum

Austin and Amit get together for a full preview of a high-stakes set of World Cup Qualifiers. First, the guys try to make sense of CONCACAF, where big favorites Panama & Costa Rica face pressure from upstarts like Suriname, Honduras, and Guatemala. In UEFA, drama looks to center around a big Denmark-Scotland matchup while the jostling for the final playoff spots should provide plenty of drama. The show closes out with a look at the playoffs in Africa and Asia, where tickets to the ICP Last Chance Saloon hang in the balance.

In aflevering 15 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast hebben we RBC-voetballer Aart Veldhof aan tafel. De Zeeuwse verdediger won afgelopen weekend van zijn ex-club Kloetinge en bleek ook de sterkste te zijn in het televisieprogramma Kamp van Koningsbrugge. Presentator Juriën Dam en sportjournalist Jan Dagevos hangen aan zijn lippen. De verdediger van de Brabantse derdedivisionist - in 2017 uitgeroepen tot beste voetballer van West-Brabant - verliet Kloetinge ooit voor het maken van een droomreis die er toen nooit van kwam. Die ultieme trip kwam er wel afgelopen juni met zijn deelname aan Kamp van Koningsbrugge, waarbij vijftien gewone burgers worden klaargestoomd voor de commando’s, met martelingen aan toe. ,,Je zit in Suriname en je wordt gewoon helemaal kapot gemaakt”, aldus Veldhof. Voor iemand die bijna het onmenselijke presteerde was zijn krampaanval van afgelopen zaterdag in minuut zeventig toch een behoorlijk contrast. Veldhof, die in Roosendaal zijn ‘eigen douche’ heeft, presteerde het om twee dagen na zijn tv-avontuur al met kapotte voeten mee te trainen bij zijn club. Zijn bikkelhardheid zorgt er tegenwoordig voor dat hij op straat geknuffeld wordt door wildvreemden. Het gaat in de uitzending verder over zijn ‘afkeer’ tegen Goes, de verrassing van ‘ome Joep’, de toekomst van Julius Bliek bij Kloetinge, de jongeling van periodekampioen Hoek die nageniet met een Ice Tea en het zelfvertrouwen van spits Din Sula.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

00:00 Intro00:28 Gospel01:26 HomilyWhen Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippihe asked his disciples,“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”Simon Peter said in reply,“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.And so I say to you, you are Peter,and upon this rock I will build my Church,and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:13-19https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/memorial-saint-leo-great-pope-and-doctor-churchAll Christians Must Forgivehttps://youtu.be/bmadS5StpvM?si=taU4RF8m_2umOySpHow To Examine Your Soul?https://youtu.be/dGe1JkqoDiY?si=mmnJX09zckv4KeYALearn more about the Institute of the Incarnate Wordhttps://iveamerica.org/Looking for Catholic articles to read?https://iveamerica.org/blog/Are you in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Suriname?https://www.youtube.com/@IVEAmerica

Aflevering 184 – Met Dat Team De PodcastWe bespreken het ontslag van Ajax-trainer John Heitinga — wie wordt zijn opvolger?

Recording date: 4th November 2025The gold mining sector demonstrated extraordinary financial performance in Q3 2025, with gold stabilizing near $4,000 per ounce and silver between $47-49 after a recent $300 pullback. Major producers generated unprecedented free cash flow despite market volatility, positioning the sector for sustained growth.Agnico Eagle Mines produced exceptional results with $3 billion in revenue and 66% gross margins, generating $1.2 billion in free cash flow at all-in sustaining costs of $1,400 per ounce. At current gold prices, this translates to approximately $17-18 million in daily free cash flow. Newmont Corporation similarly posted strong performance with $8 billion in revenue and $1.6 billion in free cash flow from 1.4 million ounces produced.Despite Federal Reserve rate cuts temporarily reducing global liquidity flows, the fundamental investment case for precious metals remains robust. Market weakness may extend through November, but recovery is anticipated approaching December's Fed meeting as monetary debasement trends continue supporting sector strength.M&A activity accelerated significantly with Fresnillo acquiring Probe Gold for $780 million cash, marking the world's largest primary silver producer's expansion into Canadian gold assets. This departure from Mexican operations may signal jurisdiction concerns given limited recent permitting activity. Coeur Mining's acquisition of New Gold demonstrated valuation arbitrage opportunities, with the U.S.-domiciled company leveraging its 50% premium to double operational scale while achieving 40% net accretion.Strategic investments are flowing downstream from major producers to developers and explorers. Gold Fields invested $50 million in Founders Metals targeting Suriname projects, while B2Gold deployed $10 million into Prospector Metals for Yukon exploration. These investments represent modest commitments relative to daily free cash flow generation Agnico's $180 million Perpetua investment equals just ten days of current free cash flow.The preference for cash transactions injects capital directly into specialist mining funds likely to redeploy within the sector, creating a multiplier effect. Development-stage assets trading at 0.4 times net asset value versus full NAV multiples for producers enable immediate accretion through strategic acquisitions.This capital migration down the market capitalization structure from major producers to mid-tier companies, developers, and explorers represents an early-stage phenomenon with substantial additional activity expected as producer profitability compounds at sustained gold prices.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

‘Don’t drink the Kool-Aid’ is inmiddels een veelgebruikte uitdrukking, die de toehoorder op het hart drukt niet zomaar de woorden van een charismatische leider aan te nemen. De uitspraak is geïnspireerd op de zogenoemde Jonestown Massacre, waarbij sekteleider Jim Jones zijn 915 volgelingen overtuigde zelfmoord te plegen door het drinken van Kool-Aid vermengd met cyanide. Voor zijn nieuwe boek Hotel De Wereld: Wageningen, Suriname en andere postkoloniale tragedies bezoekt Frank Westerman de jungle van Guyana, waar de dramatische gebeurtenis zich bijna vijftig jaar geleden afspeelde. Hoe kreeg Jones zijn volgelingen zo ver hem te volgen? En waarom is het zoveel makkelijker om iets af te breken dan om iets op te bouwen? Over deze vragen spreekt hij deze week in de podcast, terwijl hij tegelijk pleit voor twijfel en nieuwsgierigheid. Als jonge, bevlogen ontwikkelingshulpstudent in Wageningen was hij namelijk op veel vlakken zekerder van zijn zaak dan nu.

In de Nacht van Caribisch Netwerk sprak Guilliano Payne met cabaretier en presentator Jörgen Raymann over zijn nieuwe theatertour Welkom Thuis (waar niemand op je zit te wachten). Hij wordt 60 jaar oud, een rond getal, wat in de Surinaamse groots gevierd wordt. Wat kan men in deze fase van hem verwachten? Ook spraken ze over de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname en de onlangs overleden ex-president van dat land, Ronald Venetiaan, de grens van humor en kritiek op zijn werk en zijn persona. Is hij cynischer geworden of juist realistischer?

The Amazon rainforest is home to billions of trees, animals and people. It's spread across nine countries in South America - Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela - but the majority of it, almost 60%, is in Brazil. As well as being rich in biodiversity, the Amazon is also very important in the world's fight against climate change; as it absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. But the Amazon has been declining. In fact, in 2022 Brazil set a new deforestation record for the amount of trees cut down in the rainforest in one month. This impact is being felt directly by the indigenous groups who have been living there for thousands of years, but also the world as a whole. In this episode we're joined by Graihagh Jackson, from the BBC's The Climate Question podcast, and Dr Erika Berenguer, who's a Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford and Lancaster. We chat about why the Amazon is so important, and what's being done to protect it. This year's climate summit Cop30 is being held in Belem, in the Amazon, for the first time. So we also discuss what impact this could have on the world's largest rainforest.

In aflevering acht van de FMU Podcast bespreken Guido, Berry en Pim het managen als bondscoach in voormalige kolonies, zoals Indonesië, Curaçao en Suriname. Een onderwerp wat weer een 'hot topic' is na de uitbreiding van het aantal teams op het WK, waardoor de kans ineens een stuk groter is op kwalificatie voor deze landen. Hoe pak je dit in FM aan? Welke spelers zou je in potentie over kunnen halen? En met welk land maak je de meeste kans? Uiteraard sluiten we af met een nieuwe club-, speler- en media van de week.

Krishna arrived in the U.S. from Haiti just over 2 years ago full of hope, wonder and promise. With a temporary protected status she finally felt safe and ready to take on new goals and challenges to make a life and career for herself. Leaving behind her aunt, brother, and cousin in Haiti, and her mother living in Suriname, she saw a future ahead of her full of opportunity and safety. She ached for their touch and to see them in person but thankfully technology bridged the distance and inspired her to persist while providing strength on her darkest days. In the U.S. she has created a life full of education, hard work, and friendship. Her first initiative was to learn English so she immediately registered for classes and attended adult education knowing this was as essential key to create independence. While going to classes 4 days a week, she also worked full time at a local grocery store. She was committed to her goals and deeply grateful to the many opportunities she was able to take advantage of. Adult education classes offered English, but also helped create a new community of friends along with a network of teachers and administrators who supported her along the way. She successfully graduated from that program in June 2025. She knew learning English was just the start to build her future, but simultaneously she felt called to a career in healthcare. Krishna enrolled in a Certified Nurse Aide certification course at a local community college where she engaged in lectures, labs, ESL class for medical curriculum support, and clinicals providing experience at the hospital and a local nursing home. After much hard work and study, she successfully passed the exam and is now certified. While continuing to look for a position at a nursing home, she is grateful for her work and the opportunities to improve her communication skills. With Krishna's internal motivation to succeed there is no doubt she will continue to persevere and keep moving forward wherever she may live. She is committed to her personal and professional goals and despite the challenges she remains faithful and positive about her future.

Think Dutch is only for Amsterdam? We open the map with David Durham to show how far Dutch actually travels—across the Netherlands, Flanders in Belgium, Aruba and Sint Maarten, and Suriname—and why a few phrases can turn strangers into allies. We start with the essentials you'll say every day: dag for hello and goodbye, formal and informal thank‑yous, and the subtle shift from u to jij that earns instant respect. Then we build your toolkit for trains, airports, hotels, and restaurants so you can ask clearly, pay gracefully, and leave on a warm note.We get practical fast. You'll learn how to ask Waar is… for the WC, het station, de bushalte, and het restaurant, how to order koffie met melk and thee like a local, and how to request de rekening alstublieft without fumbling. We cover apologies and honesty with Het spijt me and Ik spreek geen Nederlands, plus the simple I don't understand: Ik versta het niet. Numbers one to ten click into place, and you'll know when to use tot ziens versus a friendly doei. Along the way, David breaks down de vs het articles, sheds light on Flemish and Afrikaans connections, and shares cultural cues—like always greeting staff on entry and exit—that open doors.For language nerds and nervous first‑timers alike, we tuck in an eye‑opening detour on English history that explains why Dutch often feels familiar to our ears. This mix of clarity, culture, and ready‑to‑use phrases is designed for real travel: short lines, quick wins, and better moments with people you meet. If your next trip includes bikes, canals, or stroopwafels, this guide will help you move with confidence and kindness.Loved the lesson?

pWotD Episode 3093: Diwali Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 407,031 views on Monday, 20 October 2025 our article of the day is Diwali.Dipavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), commonly known as Diwali (English: ), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally, celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and is symbolically recognized by some US state governments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:24 UTC on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Join host Radell Lewis for this week's episode of Purple Political Breakdown, your source for nuanced political analysis that cuts through the partisan noise.In This Episode:The Supreme Court appears poised to gut a cornerstone of civil rights protections as Louisiana v. Callais threatens Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. We break down how this dramatic reversaljust two years after the same Court upheld these protectionscould allow GOP-controlled states to redraw up to 19 congressional districts and end five decades of federal safeguards against racial gerrymandering.Plus: The government shutdown reaches a crisis point as military families visit food banks while Trump scrambles to fund troop paychecks. We examine the federal employee layoffs, the congressional stalemate over Medicaid and ACA subsidies, and fact-check Speaker Mike Johnson's claims about healthcare for undocumented immigrants.A shocking expos reveals Young Republican leaders exchanged 28,000+ racist, antisemitic messages praising Hitlerincluding current Trump administration officials. We analyze Vice President Vance's dismissal of the scandal as "kids being stupid" and what this reveals about generational divides within the GOP.In our polling deep dive: Americans overwhelmingly believe Trump is expanding presidential power beyond his predecessors, with new data showing increased bipartisan concern about self-enrichment and improper use of office. Even Democratic voters are turning against their own congressional leadership for the first time in over a decade.And we explore AI's transformation of society: from criminals using ChatGPT to extort millions, to breakthrough cancer detection models, to OpenAI's controversial decision to allow adult content generation just as teen chatbot relationships surge.Good news segment features Suriname's historic rainforest protections, cancer detection breakthroughs, and Camden, NJ's first murder-free summer in 50 years.Keywords: Voting Rights Act, Supreme Court, Louisiana redistricting, racial gerrymandering, government shutdown, military pay crisis, Trump administration, presidential power, executive orders, public opinion polling, Young Republicans scandal, antisemitism, political extremism, artificial intelligence, AI regulation, cybersecurity, ChatGPT, political analysis, bipartisan news, congressional approval ratings, Section 2, voter suppression, federal budget, Pew Research, MAGA movement, democratic normsSubscribe to Purple Political Breakdown for weekly episodes that prioritize facts over spin, analysis over outrage, and solutions over soundbites.Standard Resource Links & RecommendationsThe following organizations and platforms represent valuable resources for balanced political discourse and democratic participation: PODCAST NETWORKALIVE Podcast Network - Check out the ALIVE Network where you can catch a lot of great podcasts like my own, led by amazing Black voices.

Two Poles pushing human limits: one running marathons in nearly every country on Earth, the other summiting the world's highest peaks; both pushing human endurance for personal strength. What drives a person to test the limits of body and spirit? Wojtek Machnik and Magdalena Skawińska,both Polish-born adventurers have redefined what it means to explore the world and the inner frontiers of discipline and resilience. Wojtek Machnik: Running the World, One Country at a Time Wojtek Machnik is a man in motion: he's visited 193 countries and ran 238 marathons in 181 of them. After 12 years in corporate banking and insurance, he left it all behind in 2016 to create a company combining travel and running, aligned with his own life's mission. Wojtek founded a travel agency for marathon enthusiasts, became a dive instructor, and then, in 2018, launched his life's defining challenge: the 249 Challenge, to complete a marathon in every country and territory on Earth. From December 2018 to December 2019, he ran 66 marathons in 66 countries, setting a world record for the most marathons completed in different countries within one year. When COVID-19 halted global races, Wojtek's creativity continued despite confinement due to quarantine: he famously ran a marathon in flip-flops around his bed, completing 5,626 loops of a 7.5m circuit. This viral act of defiance inspired runners worldwide. Later that year, Wotjek broke another world record for the shortest marathon loop — just 5 metres, requiring 8,440 laps and 13 hours of sheer determination. By 2020, Wojtek had become the first Pole in history and only the 16th person in the world to complete marathons in 100 countries. His goals remain as ambitious as ever: “I plan to reach 300 marathons in 200 countries by my 50th birthday, on June 20, 2027.” Beyond his personal achievements, Wojtek has also brought marathons to nations that had none, including Syria, Guyana, and Suriname, creating platforms for unity, health, and peace through sport. In 2022, in partnership with the Syrian Olympic Committee and Ministry of Tourism, he helped launch the Damascus International Marathon, the first major international sports event in Syria since the war. The following year, runners from 30 countries participated. Next stops: Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia as part of his planned Horn of Africa Marathon Challenge (2026). “Running connects people beyond politics, borders, and beliefs,” Wojtek says. “It's the simplest way to explore, and to understand, our shared world.” Magdalena and her Mountains If Wojtek runs across the world, Magdalena Skawińska climbs it. Magdalena Skawińska's father was deeply attached to the mountains and from as early as was possible, Magdalena and her mother joined him on these expeditions in Poland, getting up at 2am to hit the mountain tracks before any trails got ‘busy' or, more notably, bad weather set in. As a young child Magdalena didn't always realise the power of this time together, bonding as a family, nor the power of extremely tough self discipline which was instilled. Since then, Magdalena who, by the way has a demanding day-time job as a lawyer in Luxembourg, has summited several of the worlds highest peak: Mont Blanc (4,808 m) Kilimanjaro (5,895 m) Elbrus (5,642 m) Aconcagua (6,962 m) Kazbek (5,047 m) Mera Peak (6,476 m) – her first Himalayan 6,000er Lenin Peak (7,134 m) – her first 7,000m summit, conquered in 2024 For Magdalena, mountaineering is more than sport — it's a spiritual and philosophical act of empowerment. She has travelled to Yemen, Syria, and Armenia, combining her expeditions with photography and cultural immersion, using her lens to capture both landscapes and the human stories within them. “Climbing and travelling to unconventional destinations is about reclaiming your own individuality and quiet courage,” she explains. “It's about defying expectations, especially as a woman, and believing deeply in your own strength, perseverance, and dreams.” Her story embodies balance between ambition and courage plus reflection and wonder.

In een nieuwe aflevering van Kick-off bespreken Valentijn Driessen, Marcel van der Kraan en Pim Sedee het openhartige interview van Alex Kroes. Doet de directeur van Ajax er goed aan om zich zo openlijk uit te spreken over de huidige stand van zaken binnen de club? Ook is het volgens Valentijn Driessen opmerkelijk dat Kroes op deze manier zijn lot verbindt aan dat van John Heitinga. Verder: wat is het ideale middenveld voor Feyenoord? En lukt het Curaçao en Suriname om het WK te halen? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mirella Muroni is filmmaker, schrijver en adviseur. Haar films worden vaak verteld vanuit het perspectief van een zwarte vrouw. In 1995 maakte zij haar eindexamenfilm ‘Tijd van Gaan', over een vrouw die zichzelf van het leven wil beroven en haar dochters om hulp vraagt. Meer dan 20 jaar later verscheen haar korte film 'Ik ben', die werd geselecteerd voor nationale en internationale filmfestivals. In Nederland was de film geselecteerd voor het Nederlands Film Festival (NFF) in Utrecht, en in Amerika voor ‘Imagine This Women'sInternational Film Festival', in New York, waar de film in de prijzen viel voor ‘Best Cinematography'. Tijdens het Nederlands Film Festival (NFF) gaat haar nieuwe film ‘Forget All You Know(About Aliens)' in première. De film gaat over een ontmoeting met buitenaards leven. De 12-jarige Ella raakt er daardoor van overtuigd dat ze eerder leefde, als vier andere vrouwen uit Ghana, Suriname, Curaçao en als dubbelbloed.   Femke van der Laan gaat met Mirella Muroni in gesprek.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ross Compton, Senior Director of Global Policy at EnerGeo Alliance, about a new report highlighting how a thriving upstream oil and gas sector could inject up to R23 billion into South Africa’s GDP each year and create more than 20,000 jobs from projects like Block 11B/12B alone. Compton contrasts this with Namibia’s success, saying South Africa’s unclear regulations and frequent legal challenges deter investment, while countries like Namibia, Suriname and Ghana are reaping the rewards of regulatory certainty and investor-friendly policies.

Dichter Bernice Vreedzaam schreef de bundel ‘De vogelgrens oversteken', waarin zij haar eigen familiegeschiedenis verbindt met het grotere verhaal van de Marrons. Bij monde van de mythische vogel Sankofa voert ze de lezer van Afrika naar Suriname, waar we haar ouders leren kennen en hun liefde zien groeien op een verleden dat nooit helemaal tot rust komt. Vanuit dat verlangen ontvouwt zich ook de vraag hoe het nieuwe land, Nederland, zich aan hen presenteert. Met dit debuut kijkt Vreedzaam de erfenis van het zwijgen over het verleden recht in de ogen, en schenkt ze de lezer warmte, hoop en berusting. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

(02:52) Rondje Zuiderzee    (05:05) Het ging deze week veel over of extreemrechts en het geweld tijdens de rellen in Den Haag met elkaar in verband stonden. Historicus Robin te Slaa onderzocht extreemrechts geweld rondom de opkomst van fascisme in Nederland. Wat kunnen we leren uit de geschiedenis over de relatie tussen de extreemrechtse ideologie en geweld?      (18:45) We openen de Maand van de Geschiedenis in Museum Schokland, op voormalig eiland en UNESCO werelderfgoed Schokland. Eva Vriend, schreef over deze geschiedenis en is te gast.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn , CEO of Greenheart GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-advancing-multi-project-portfolio-7557Recording date: 10th September 2025Greenheart Gold is an emerging junior gold explorer with a robust management pedigree, led by CEO Justin van der Toorn whose success at Reunion Gold lends credibility to the company's strategic approach. The company operates five greenfield gold projects in the highly prospective Guyana Shield region—two in Guyana and three in Suriname—deliberately focusing on unexplored targets. Rigorous evaluation and financial discipline underpin their model, with each project subjected to a systematic 9-12 month process to reach a drill decision, and non-viable assets quickly dropped.Currently, Greenheart has active drilling at the Tamakay project in Guyana and the Majorodam project in Suriname. Early drilling at Majorodam delivered intersections including 30 meters at 2 grams per tonne gold, supported by strong infrastructure benefits such as proximity to paved roads and established mills, which help lower operating costs and development thresholds. At Tamakay, the program targets high-grade quartz veins previously mined by local artisanal miners, further highlighting the region's potential.Justin van der Toorn emphasizes the importance of an honest, data-driven approach, stating, “At the end of the day, it's exploration. You have to play a little bit of a numbers game here and make sure that you've got more than one egg in a basket,” reflecting the company's commitment to portfolio diversification and rigorous technical standards.Well-capitalized and backed by a supportive institutional shareholder base, Greenheart Gold is positioned to advance its pipeline without the immediate need for further fundraising. With a disciplined capital allocation strategy and a clear focus on advancing only the most promising opportunities, Greenheart is set to deliver value through near-term drilling results and multiple discovery pathways within a world-class geological province. These factors, combined with favorable macroeconomic conditions for gold and the underexplored nature of the Guyana Shield, create a compelling case for investors.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
