Met een volle tafel peper- en borrelnoten en wat lekkere biertjes klopt ons hart vol verwachting voor de volgende gast bij De Loodzware Jongens .Klokslag 8 uur afgelopen Dinsdag werd op de deur gebonst en stormt Tom Tdw de Wit binnen met een zak vol presentjes die tevens voor de luisteraar te winnen zijn (zie de laatste foto). Het lijkt wel of de feestmaand al begonnen is. Een goed begin!We praten met Tom uitgebreid over zijn activiteiten als muzikant, songwriter en producer. De oprichting van de progressieve metalband TDW en zijn complexe composities en diepgaande teksten. Hiermee weet Tom diverse genres, zoals progrock, metal en symfonische muziek, te combineren. Vaak zelfstandige producties met vele samenwerkingen, en altijd veel aandacht voor zowel muzikale als visuele concepten.Voor zover het serieuze gedeelte want het was weer een hoop gedoe, lachen en ook chaos. Voor het hoogtepunt van de show moet je tot het einde luisteren als we richting de laatste favoriete plaat van de Top 3 van Tom gaan . Hadden we het vorige week nog over welke cursus we zouden willen volgen Ernst Acherman ? (weet je nog?)Hilariteit alom, met aandacht voor heel veel gave bands. En wederom zijn we verbaasd wat voor talent er toch in Nederland rondloopt waar we nog nooit van gehoord hebben. Bedankt voor de tips. Heb je meer tips maar vooral gekoppeld aan vette verhalen stuur ze naar loodzwarejongens@kink.nl De vaste items gaan erin als koek, beter gezegd als noten dit keer en de show barst van de nieuwsfeitjes, concert agenda van Sidney Simon en prangende vragen en diepgaand interview van Ernst. De demo van de maand is er weer bij met Diggin' Demos en Rick Bouwman's galopje is tuurlijk, vet , maar bevat ook een nieuwtje. Het rad draaide wat stroef, of het lag aan Tom, en waar Rutger van Noordenburg dacht wel even een vraag van Rick te cancellen werd hij toch even op het matje geroepen.Kortom er is weer een hoop te beleven in deze uitzending met veel aandacht voor Prog Metal, en dat is weer eens wat anders. Luisteren dus!

A recent survey conducted by Talker Research revealed that 38% of Americans have never felt more uninspired at work than they do now. That's a bit over one-third of the workforce! In light of this dissatisfaction, what can be said about management? The post-pandemic workforce has a new view on what gives their lives meaning and the benefits of hybrid work, making it more challenging than ever for managers to keep their teams engaged and productive. To share how management can face this hybrid workforce era is our guest Mamie Kanfer Stewart. She's the founder and CEO of Meeteor, a coaching and training company that focuses on creating healthy, high-performing teams with a special emphasis on productive meetings, as well as the author of “Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings.” Mamie also hosts the Modern Manager Podcast, where she delivers practical advice to help people tap into their managerial greatness. In this episode, Mamie shares how managers, despite being the unsung heroes of the workplace, fail to receive the support and skill development they need from their leadership so they can excel at their jobs. Mamie points out the essential skills managers need to thrive in today's ever-popular hybrid work environments — from effective feedback and authentic appreciation for creating high-performance teams to leveraging AI tools for productivity and collaboration. We also talk about meetings, why employees hate them, and how management can use them for relationship-building rather than wasting people's time.  If your employees and management could use a boost, then this episode is a must-listen!

In this episode, we're joined by Nate Thompson and Alex Schwartz, the hosts of The Disruptive Workforce Podcast, currently ranked in the top 3% of over 3 million podcasts worldwide. Continuing our conversation from Episode 30 with Bob Hobbi, we delve into the significant disruptions the workforce has encountered over the past 4-5 years, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid evolution of technology. Nate and Alex share their insights on how organizations are grappling with these workforce challenges and offer guidance on navigating through them. Our discussion spans a range of topics including organizational culture, leadership, artificial intelligence, adapting to technological advancements, and harnessing the opportunities presented by these changes in today's workforce.About Nate and AlexNate Thompson and Alex Schwartz are the co-founders of The Disrupted Workforce (TDW). They launched TDW during the pandemic to help leaders and professionals prepare, navigate, and thrive through the most digital and disrupted workforce in human history. But their passion for The Future Of Work began almost seven years prior when Nate was building the first Future of Work programs in Asset Management, and Alex was selling Digital Transformation projects in consulting.Their compelling WHY is simple. “We lived through a global pandemic running the largest remote and hybrid work experiment in the history of humanity. The AI Era has begun; more than 300 million jobs will be impacted, and over a billion people must be upskilled by 2030. Work, identity, purpose, and what it means to be human are rapidly changing for everyone. Yet, many leaders and professionals aren't ready, and most companies don't have a way to deliver on this need. We can't go back to the old playbook. It's time to Explore, Expand, and Evolve!”They knew this challenge was far bigger than them or their company. So they started with two powerful questions: “Everyone needs these insights. How might we help leaders and professionals at scale? What if we start a free conversation with the Top Voices In The Future of Work and invite everyone?” Those beautiful questions led to the creation of their podcast (available on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and all platforms), now globally ranked in the top 3% of over 3 million podcasts.CONNECT WITH TC ADVISORY GROUP:Website: https://tcadvisorygroup.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tcadvisorygroup1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetcadvisorygroup/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tc-advisory-group1/FOLLOW THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PODCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theexecutiveleadershippodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexecutiveleadershippodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/the-executive-leadership-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

By embracing a holistic approach that considers not only the surgical procedure itself but also the patient's overall health and well-being, practitioners can optimize the recovery process and enhance long-term outcomes. Functional medicine emphasizes the interconnectedness of various bodily systems, recognizing the importance of factors such as nutrition, inflammation management, and stress reduction in promoting healing. When applied with conventional techniques, these can play a crucial role in supporting patients more comprehensively and effectively. In this compelling discussion with Taylor Dukes, we explore the various aspects of recovery in her brain tumor healing journey, shedding light on the importance of holistic approaches to healing, from addressing inflammation to optimizing restorative sleep. Join us as we unravel personal narratives, share valuable insights, and highlight the critical role of support systems in the recovery process. Functional medicine, integrating conventional and holistic approaches to healthcare Taylor recounts a period of significant stress and trauma in their life, exacerbated by working night shifts in an ICU in Austin, Texas. Despite being previously healthy, she found herself experiencing various health issues, including hair loss, joint pain, stomach problems, and skin inflammation. Despite consulting various specialists and undergoing invasive procedures, she struggled to find answers to her declining health. Her desperation to recover led her to seek alternative approaches, eventually leading her to functional medicine practitioner Ann Shippy, who significantly improved her health through testing and dietary changes. This experience propelled her into the field of functional medicine, where she subsequently worked as a nurse for Amy Myers and eventually opened her own practice. Brain tumor diagnosis, treatment, and healing journey Amidst her newfound health and career success, she received a Prenuvo scan – a full-body preventative scan. This led to the shocking discovery of a brain tumor, despite her lack of symptoms. Reflecting on her journey, she emphasizes the integrative approach of functional medicine, combining conventional and holistic practices to address illness at its roots. Her experiences highlight the significance of thorough patient history and consideration of factors like lifestyle, genetics, and environment for achieving optimal health outcomes. Following the unexpected discovery of a brain tumor, Taylor went through the stages of acceptance and preparation. She also explored the treatment options available. With an integrative approach to healthcare in mind, she sought complementary methods to address the tumor, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. Utilizing a combination of diet modifications, alternative therapies, and stress reduction techniques, she diligently prepared her body for surgery over a span of five months. This proactive approach not only allowed her to explore various treatment modalities but also facilitated the remarkable feat of shrinking the tumor by half before undergoing surgery. Collaborating with healthcare professionals across different disciplines, including a neurosurgeon and integrative treatment centers, she took charge of their healing journey with determination and resilience. Integrative oncology and preparing the body for brain surgery Addressing inflammation is a cornerstone of my approach to health and wellness, and it's something I consistently highlight. Whether you're dealing with chronic health issues or simply striving for optimal well-being, managing inflammation is key. One of the most powerful tools in combating inflammation is through dietary intervention, and this is where the ketogenic diet comes into play. A strict ketogenic diet involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and focusing on clean, whole foods that are rich in healthy fats and nutrient-dense, low-glycemic vegetables. A keto diet can help to rebalance inflammatory responses and processes in the body. However, it's important to note that not all ketogenic diets are created equal. While some may opt for a more lenient approach, indulging in processed and inflammatory foods, we encourage individuals to have a strict, clean ketogenic diet instead. Brain surgery recovery, sleep issues, and the importance of sleep for healing The aftermath of surgery is often similar to a delicate dance, with patients backpedaling and preparing for the next set of events. In Taylor's case, her meticulous preparation undoubtedly paved the way for a more efficient recovery. However, the confusion among providers regarding surgical outcomes isn't solely due to technical advancements; rather, it's deeply intertwined with the patient's overall health status and risk factors. From pre-surgery preparations to post-operative care, every aspect plays a pivotal role in achieving optimal outcomes. In a time where trust in medical professionals is increasingly fragile, it's essential to provide patients with transparent explanations and evidence-based recommendations. Taylor's journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of proactive, holistic care, where surgery is just one piece of the puzzle. The period between surgeries wasn't merely a waiting game; it was a time of profound physical, mental, and emotional healing. From grappling with sleep disturbances to confronting the need for patience in the recovery process, every step brought its own set of challenges and lessons. Yet, through it all, Taylor remained steadfast in her commitment to her well-being, recognizing that true healing extends far beyond the operating room. That's why it's crucial to find a provider who not only understands your medical history but also approaches your treatment with empathy and intuition. Sleep, stress, and self-care after brain surgery Rest is also one of the major contributors to the healing process, particularly for the brain. There's often confusion about why we emphasize hormones and sleep so much, but it's crucial, especially after surgery. When someone finds themselves needing to take afternoon naps or experiencing disrupted sleep patterns, it's a sign that something's amiss. Adequate rest allows the brain to repair and regenerate, facilitating cognitive function and emotional well-being. For someone recovering from brain surgery, ensuring quality sleep is paramount, as it supports the body's natural healing mechanisms and helps mitigate potential complications. Taylor's experience highlights the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep schedule to facilitate deep, uninterrupted sleep, which is vital for the healing process. Without adequate rest, recovery can be prolonged, leading to increased fatigue and inflammation. She emphasizes the need for prioritizing self-care, including stress regulation, deep breathing, and unplugging from technology, as essential strategies to support healing. Taylor also addresses why she didn't remove her breast implants sooner, explaining that financial constraints and life circumstances played a significant role. She acknowledges that she wishes she had acted sooner but hopes her experience encourages others to take proactive steps for their health, especially if they have the means to do so. Ultimately, there are no shortcuts when it comes to self-care, and investing in these practices is essential for optimal recovery outcomes. Taylor hopes that sharing her story and the resources she provides will inspire others to prioritize their health. She emphasizes the importance of taking care of the body, managing stress, and eating clean, not as a chore but as a way to enhance overall well-being. Post-surgical care and diet for breast implant patients It is crucial for doctors to provide patients with comprehensive information so they can make informed decisions about their health. By ensuring that patients are fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of medical interventions like implants, doctors empower them to take an active role in their healthcare journey. Biofilm, which is found on various implants, has become increasingly prevalent. Unfortunately, its implications for implant recipients are often not adequately disclosed. As a result, many patients may not fully understand the risks associated with biofilm and its potential impact on their health. It is crucial for healthcare providers to ensure that patients are well-informed about biofilm and its implications before undergoing implant procedures. In my practice, I prioritize leveraging genetics to tailor treatment plans uniquely to each patient, aiming to optimize outcomes based on their genetic predispositions and responses to various interventions. This personalized approach allows for more targeted and effective care, as it takes into account individual differences and genetic factors that may influence treatment efficacy. Additionally, the support from loved ones throughout the decision-making process plays a vital role in patient well-being and recovery. Their encouragement and understanding can provide invaluable emotional support and contribute significantly to a patient's overall resilience and confidence in their treatment journey. After surgery, it's crucial to prioritize a low-inflammatory diet, including avoiding gluten, dairy, processed foods, refined sugars, and seed oils. The good news is that The Well in Austin is one of the few places that offers such options, providing patients with nutritious meals to support their recovery. Personalized healthcare and surgical recovery After surgery, it's crucial to prioritize rest and provide your body with the time it needs to heal. However, integrating gentle movement, spending time outdoors in the fresh air, and soaking up some sunshine can also play a significant role in facilitating recovery. These simple yet effective strategies can help boost mood, enhance circulation, and promote overall well-being during the healing process. In addition to rest and physical activity, proper nutrition is paramount for supporting the body's recovery efforts. Consuming nutrient-rich foods that are high in electrolytes, minerals, and protein can provide the essential building blocks necessary for tissue repair and regeneration. By fueling the body with the right nutrients, patients can optimize their healing potential and expedite the recovery process. Furthermore, post-operative care extends beyond the immediate aftermath of surgery. It encompasses ongoing support and guidance to address any underlying health issues and ensure a comprehensive approach to healing. Each patient's journey is unique, and personalized care tailored to their specific needs is essential for promoting long-term recovery and wellness. Central to this personalized approach is the recognition of bio-individuality – the understanding that every individual is unique and may respond differently to various treatments and interventions. By acknowledging and addressing these individual differences, healthcare providers can develop tailored treatment plans that optimize outcomes and support each patient's unique path to recovery. Moreover, emphasizing the importance of personalized care underscores the need for healthcare providers to consider a range of factors, including genetics, gut health, immune function, and dietary sensitivities. By taking a holistic approach that considers these diverse elements, healthcare providers can develop comprehensive treatment strategies that address the root causes of inflammation and promote sustainable healing. Preoperative testing and detox programs are also integral parts of our comprehensive approach to surgery and recovery. Again, I want to emphasize that we must prioritize reducing inflammation through a combination of methods tailored to each patient's unique needs.

In this episode, we explore the untapped potential of AI with Dr. Vivienne Ming, a renowned AI expert, neuroscientist, and visionary in leveraging AI to unlock the full spectrum of human capacity. As a self-proclaimed professional mad scientist, she's the co-founder of Socos Labs and sits on the board and leadership teams at several other tech companies and organizations, including OptoCeutics and Dionysus Health. Dr. Ming has been at the forefront of using AI to unlock human potential and improve lives, challenging the conventional narratives surrounding artificial intelligence. We discuss how AI can serve as a powerful partner in augmenting human intelligence, pushing us toward deeper insights and solutions that we wouldn't have reached on our own. From the workforce to education, Dr. Ming sheds light on how AI can boost our creativity, making us better learners, thinkers, and innovators. But it's not just about what AI can do for us individually; it's about how we can leverage it to create better teams and communities. By recognizing its limitations, we can get the most out of AI through productive friction, using it as a sparring partner of sorts to challenge our ideas, find areas of improvement, and see problems through a new lens. Curious about how AI can enhance your life and work, not just simplify it?

Just because we live in the age of information doesn't mean that we're actually learning. As a society, we're overwhelmed, and there's a reason for it — the explosion of non-information. This candid episode reveals more about it. Today, we're diving into the mind of Richard Saul Wurman, an American architect, designer, and visionary creator behind the TED Conference. He is a prolific thinker and content creator, having written, designed, and published 90 books, among a plethora of other accomplishments. Considered the father of information architecture, he shares his unique approach to understanding complex subjects and why he believes in embracing our “stupidity” as a way to innovate and remain curious and open to new ideas.  Wurman also delivers a relevant criticism of the current state of education that relies on memorization and how AI is disrupting that. On the same note, he elaborates on the concepts behind his books “Information Anxiety” and “UnderstandingUnderstanding,” delivering a unique POV on how the currently overwhelming amount of non-information clouds our minds.  Beyond AI, we also dig into how the TED conference was born and Wurman's philosophy of work. These unconventional perspectives on innovation, learning, and communication offer listeners a fresh viewpoint on how to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Tune in for a dose of unconventional wisdom. — Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00) Richard's Take On Simplifying, Curiosity, and Embracing Ignorance (01:11) Discussing AI's Impact on Information Anxiety (11:24) Facing Failure by Doing Good Work (16:40) Understanding, Understanding / Explaining, Explaining (22:02) Richard on His Experience With the TED Conference (27:58) Speed Round Questions (36:42) — ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Learn more about Richard Saul Wurman: https://www.wurman.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/44ieyPB Follow our podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/44kONi6 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3NtVK9W Join the TDW tribe and learn more: https://disruptedwork.com

November 16, 2023 ~ Tom Watkins, Director, President and CEO of TDW and Associates a US/China Business and Education Consulting Firm gives his insight on Joe Biden's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Welcome to this week's edition of the Financial Insider! Here's what we have lined up for you:

Officials and policy observers have welcomed the meetings that President Xi Jinping and senior Chinese diplomats had in Beijing with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying that the talks offered hope on reining in the two-way tension and introducing more certainty to future prospects(00:24, misread ‘prospects' as projects).Now it's time for Washington to continue trading goodwill with Beijing, faithfully implement the consensus made between the two sides and minimize the chance of dragging the ties to another low, they said.During President Xi's meeting with Blinken on Monday afternoon, Xi "spoke with an overarching perspective and elaborated on the principled position on stabilizing and developing China-US ties", said Yang Tao, director-general of the Foreign Ministry's Department of North American and Oceanian Affairs.The series of meetings with Blinken were "candid, in-depth and constructive", he said, adding that the top priority now — and the most important outcome of the China trip — is for both sides to faithfully implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting last year in Bali, Indonesia, and return to the agenda set by that meeting."We're on the right trail here," US President Joe Biden said on Monday regarding Blinken's visit.The latest meetings have attracted great attention from the public in both countries, analysts said.Cai Tongjuan, a researcher at Renmin University of China's Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said, "There are many individuals and organizations from both nations calling for securing the bilateral friendship."Tom Watkins, president and CEO of TDW and Associates, a US-based business and education consulting company, said Xi's meeting with Blinken "sent a clear message to the world that both sides value dialogue and cooperation over conflict".Rong Ying, vice-president of the China Institute of International Studies, said it is a point made consistently by Beijing that the relations matter not only to both nations, but also to the peace, development and stability of the whole of humanity."We expect the Biden administration could tackle China-US ties from this perspective and work together in exploring the way for the two major countries to get along well in the new era," he said.Wichai Kinchong Choi, senior vice-president of Thai bank Kasikornbank, said it is "good to have the two countries get back to the negotiating table", as "Thailand and other ASEAN countries want to see the region have peaceful and stable development, which is largely affected by the world's two largest economies".Lawrence Loh, a professor of strategy and policy and director of National University of Singapore's Centre for Governance and Sustainability, said the visit was "a significant development amidst the escalating geopolitical tensions between the two countries", adding that "a stable bilateral relationship must be based on firm actions rooted in the fundamental principle of mutual respect".Khalid Taimur Akram, executive director of the Islamabad-based Pakistan Research Center for a Community with Shared Future, said, "China always wishes for a strong and stable China-US relationship."The US must engage in dialogue and cooperation based on equality and mutual respect, and maintain a commitment to inclusivity and openness rather than exclusivity and confrontation," he said.Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Department of American Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said, "It is time for translating into reality the latest consensus made between Beijing and Washington, and the US should break away from its two-faced approach in dealing with China — saying one thing and doing another."Washington should focus on perceiving China in an objective, rational way and adjust its China policy to avert the further decline of the relations," she added.During State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang's meeting with Blinken, the two sides agreed to encourage people-to-people exchanges and actively discuss an increase in passenger flights between the two countries.The departments of both countries in charge of this matter "have maintained communication" on increasing the number of passenger flights, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday."We are willing to work with the US side to promote the increase of passenger flights in a flexible and pragmatic manner," she said.Diplomat英/ˈdɪpləmæt/ 美/ˈdɪpləmæt/n.外交官，外交家Bilateral英/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/ 美/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj.双方的，双边的

GUESTS | Kate Markin Coleman, former EVP, Chief Strategy and Advancement Officer of YMCA, and Stephen Goldsmith, Professor of the Practice of Urban Affairs at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. DETAILS | Kate and Stephen join TDW to discuss their eye-opening new book Growing Fairly: How to Build Opportunity and Equity in Workforce Development. They share hard truths, such as there is no integrated workforce development program in the US, and the number of Americans who are pessimistic about what additional education can do for them has tripled from 12 to 35%. This is why they are taking a system approach and boldly calling for immediate cross-sector collaboration, a regional and bipartisan effort toward workforce development reform. In this robust conversation, we examine macro disruptive trends through the lens of their workforce design principles model and why this must be built for the unique needs of workers, employers, and cities. OVERVIEW | Are you ready to ADAPT and REINVENT YOURSELF for the most disrupted and digital workforce in history? What would it feel like to belong and not get stuck? It is estimated over 1 billion people will need reskilling by 2030, and more than 300 million jobs will be impacted by AI  — work, identity, and what it means to be human are rapidly changing. Join hosts Nate Thompson and Alex Schwartz and the TOP VOICES in the Future of Work to uncover how to meet this dynamic new reality driven by AI, hybrid work, societal shifts, and our increasingly digital world. Discover why a Future of Work Mindset is your key to prepare, navigate and thrive! We are grateful you are here, and welcome to the TDW Tribe! www.thedisruptedworkforce.com

ESG Funds, Stocks, to Buy Now I'm going to start with this article titled 7 ESG Funds to Buy Now. It's by Paulina Likos and Jeff Reeves and reviewed by Susannah Snider. It's found in the money section of the U.S. News & World Report site. Here are some of their comments on each ETF recommendation. Quote. “1) iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ticker: ICLN) The fund offers investors exposure to companies that produce energy from solar, wind and other renewable resources and global clean energy stocks. With more than $5.8 billion of net assets, this fund is a liquid and established way for investors to play top names in the space… With just about 40% allocation to U.S. securities, (the fund) takes a global sector view with investments in Canada, China, Denmark, Italy, Spain and other countries. It carries an expense ratio of 0.42%. One-year return as of Sept. 30: 18%. 2) Thornburg Better World International Fund (TBWIX) (This fund) seeks high-quality, fairly valued companies that could or already make a positive impact in the world… Some of Thornburg Better World International Fund's top holdings include the largest online recruitment platform in China, Kanzhun Ltd. (BZ)… tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. (XFRA: NNND), (and) Tokyo-based Renesas Electronics Corp. (OTCM: RNECY), a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer, is another top allocation in the fund… It holds net assets of more than $345 million (and) one-year return: 37.7%. 3) Natixis Sustainable Future 2030 Fund (NSFFX) This sustainable target-date fund is part of a family of Natixis funds that rebalance over time to dial down risk as an investor nears retirement. The fund holds both active and passive investments. This single-fund solution invests across different asset classes for a diversified strategy that balances risk and reward. ESG considerations play an integral role in the selection process. The fund is on the smaller end… with just over $11 million of total assets. Among the fund's top holdings are the Mirova Global Green Bond Fund (MGGYX) for fixed income, iShares ESG Aware MSCI ETF (ESGD), and individual securities like Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) and Facebook Inc. (FB). One-year return: 22.8%. 4) iShares ESG MSCI EAFE ETF (ESGD) Another solid option for international investors looking for socially responsible ETFs is this iShares fund that's focused on EAFE markets, or Europe, Australasia and the Far East… Investors in (this fund) get exposure to large- and midcap ESG companies in the target region…There's a diverse lineup of companies across geographies and sectors, including Switzerland's Nestle (NSRGY), French consumer giant LVMH (MC.PA) and Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) at the top of the list. With $6.7 billion in assets under management, more than 450 holdings and an affordable expense ratio of 0.2%, this global ESG fund is the go-to option for those looking for exposure outside the U.S. One-year return: 26.2%. 5) Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) At more than $5 billion in total assets under management, this socially responsible ETF from Vanguard holds more than 1,500 stocks… Now, you may wonder how that many stocks — including some of the usual blue-chip brands like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Unitedhealth Group Inc. (UNH) — can have such a positive impact on the world. The answer is that this is just an ‘exclusionary' fund, meaning it cuts out the worst, based on rankings for ESG criteria, and presumes the rest are aboveboard. One-year return: 30.9%. 6) iShares MSCI USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA) With more than 190 holdings, investors are not getting a simplistic fund… you might be surprised to find some names such as… Home Depot Inc. (HD) and… American Express Co. (AXP) make an appearance in (its) portfolio… One-year return: 32%. 7) 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (SSIAX) (The fund) invests 70% of its assets in U.S. equities and 30% in investment-grade debt. Some of the fund's top holdings include Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL), and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN). The fund has captured growth opportunities as the U.S. economy continues to recover from the coronavirus pandemic… One-year return: 18%.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ESG Funds, Stocks, to Buy Now Now to articles that pick the best investments in renewable energy. The first article is titled Best Wind Energy Stocks and ETFs to Buy. It's by Matt Whittaker and appeared on wtopnews.com. Here are some quotes from the article. Quote. “On US Government Policies ‘The Biden administration has set a goal to have 30,000 megawatts of offshore energy installed by 2030. While there is debate within the industry about whether it will hit that goal, the attempt could prove lucrative for companies involved. Capital expenditures in the U.S. offshore wind supply chain alone could total $200 billion through 2035, according to a recent report from the research provider Lium. Wind Turbine Makers Of the 9 gigawatts – or 9,000 megawatts – of known turbine awards off the East Coast, 48% have gone to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA (GCTAY), 35% to General Electric Co. (GE) and 17% to Vestas Wind Systems (VWDRY), Lium says… They stand to ‘collect a large chunk' of the $40 billion to $50 billion spent for offshore wind turbines through 2035, according to the report… Of course, those sales wouldn't happen without the companies developing the offshore wind farms in the first place. The world's largest offshore wind developer is Danish power company Orsted (DNNGY)… Other key developers to watch are Avangrid Inc. (AGR), Eversource Energy (ES), Equinor ASA (EQNR), Dominion Energy Inc. (D), Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDS.A), and Aker Offshore Wind (AKOWF). Keep in mind that some developers, such as Avangrid, as well as the turbine makers, also have exposure to the domestic onshore wind industry. Other stocks with U.S. onshore wind exposure include NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE) and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A, BRK.B)… Oil & Gas Company Offshore Expertise To Be Tapped Industry watchers expect offshore wind will use expertise from the offshore oil and gas industry. Joseph Triepke, partner with Lium, points to firms including oil and gas equipment company Nov Inc. (NOV), offshore platform and marine vessel manufacturer Gulf Island Fabrication Inc. (GIFI) and offshore vessel companies Seacor Marine (SMHI) and Tidewater Inc. (TDW). Wind ETFs Investors who want more immediate diversification than building a portfolio from individual stocks can turn to exchange-traded funds including the First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (FAN) and the Global X Wind Energy ETF (WNDY)… … the winds of fortune could be at this industry's back for some time.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ESG Funds, Stocks, to Buy Now Now here's a new article with only solar power picks. It's titled Renewable Energy Stocks: Is Now a Good Time to Buy? It's by Travis Hoium and on fool.com. Here are some quotes from him including his stock picks. “Today, we're entering a more mature phase for the industry in which companies are establishing technology advantages and scale that helps create a competitive moat. The result is steadily rising profitability, which you can see… from First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH), SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ: SEDG), and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR)… Financiers are the companies that build or buy renewable energy projects, usually with long-term contracts to sell electricity to a utility. They generate very stable cash flows and often come with a dividend. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) and NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP) are both leaders in this space and have exposure to wind and solar energy projects… I focus on the solar industry in part because there are very few wind-focused companies publicly traded in the U.S. But in solar energy there are some leaders with clear differentiation, like First Solar in solar panel manufacturing, SunPower in deploying residential and commercial solar, and Enphase Energy in module-level power electronics… On the speculative side, I see a huge opportunity in hydrogen. Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) is an industry leader in solid-oxide fuel cells; it's also built a nearly $1 billion business in backup power with new markets like electrolysis and marine power on the horizon…” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

Dat gaat dus niet alleen over onze positie, maar over onze conditie, onze feitelijke toestand.Is dat de bedoeling van 2 Kor. 5:17?Verder vinden we enkele aanwijzingen voor (1) de simplistische toepassing van wat aan de apostelen is geschonken aan ons – terwijl wij tot geloof kwamen door het woord van de apostelen en niet dezelfde volmacht en opdracht hebbenen (2) het misverstand (2a) dat de prediking van het Koninkrijk door de Heer Jezus identiek is aan onze verkondiging van het evangelie van Gods Zoon én (2b) dat we dat Koninkrijk door innerlijke openbaring moeten ontdekken. Tenslotte vinden we (3) de onterechte tegenstelling tussen wat de Geest leert en ons door de Geest verlichte verstand – dat laatste wordt niet gezien en TdW spreekt alleen over het natuurlijke verstand.Door het verstand uit te schakelen wordt veel onzin plotseling geloofwaardig?

What you can expect from us at TDW in 2020

Die Top 100 ist zur Ansammlung von 30-0 geworden, denn 96 Spieler blieben unbesiegt. Gleichzeitig lief die (Spoiler: enttäuschende) Black Friday Promo mit dem Best of TdW und zahlreichen SBCs. Zum Thema wird auch der Patch Nummer 7, der gar nicht so viel verändert hat. Mero und Mo stellen jedenfalls fest: leider gibt es aktuell nicht allzu viel positives aus der FIFA-Szene zu berichten.

Wow! It's Yow! Yow Giao is a St. Petersburg, Florida-based artist who is originally from Australia, which means she has the BEST accent EVER! As an artist, she especially loves creating abstract eyeballs because "our eyeballs are an extension of our brain. Our brain is our mind. Our mind tells us everything we know." Yow is passionate about art because, as she says, "art is life." In addition to art, Yow is also extremely passionate about mental health and aims to help bring awareness to mental health issues with her art AND her platform. We talk a lot about BOTH of these things in this episode of TDW podcast. Check out Yow and her work! https://www.yowgiaoart.com/ @YowGiaoArt on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thedoctorwhisperer/message

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present the first installment in an all-new 2-part extended interview with GRAMMY Award-winning Third Man Records artist and graphic designer Rob Jones! Rob has, over the years, created some of the most memorable artwork associated with Jack White's recording career -- from The White Stripes, to The Raconteurs, to The Dead Weather, to Jack White solo projects and more, Rob has done it all! This week we talk to Rob about his artistic and musical influences, and gain insight into how this wildly fruitful creative partnership with Third Man began so many years ago. We also learn the secret behind Rob's approach to Dead Weather design, and what TDW artwork didn't quite make the cut. We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Rob for dropping in to the show, and for being so candid, funny and generous with his time – it was a pleasure interviewing him and we hope you all enjoy this first half of the interview as much as we did!
