Rabbi Charles Freshman 1819-1875From Rabbis meet Jesus the Messiah – a collection of 24 biographies and testimonies of Rabbis encounters with Jesus the Messiah© Messianic Good News.Charles Freshman was born in Micklosh, a city pleasantly situated on the river Waag, in Hungary, as the oldest of thirteen children. The parents were strict adherents of Judaism and the father was a business man, not rich, but always honest and well thought of. When but three years old, the boy, who had to be carried to school and back by a servant upon her shoulders, commenced to learn the Hebrew alphabet and the first Scripture lesson (which is found in Deuteronomy 6:4 and is called the “Shema”). The “fringes” or “ tzitzit”, according to Numbers 15:38, were also put upon him. The boy, is spite of his great youth, learned quickly, and when he was about four years of age, his father made a great festival, a Sudah, in his honour. All the friends, relatives, and associates of the child were invited to meet on a certain Sabbath day to partake of a plentiful supply of cakes, plums, nuts and other eatables, together with a. glass of pure grape wine, and to listen to the reading of the Old Testament in the Hebrew language by the child.The whole religious training of the child was strict in the extreme. He was obliged to pray out of the Jewish Prayer Book every morning and evening, and was not allowed to eat or drink anything without first asking a blessing upon it with his head covered.Charles Freshman made rapid progress, and at the age of eight years he could read Hebrew well and translate every word without difficulty, requiring a dictionary but seldom. He could also repeat from memory many choice passages of the Old Testament and whole Psalms in the Hebrew language. Even of the Chaldaic he knew a little, and could read and write the Aramaic language. Being naturally very ambitious and proud, his mind became fully possessed of the one determination of becoming a Rabbi, not an ordinary Rabbi, such as one meets every day, but a great Rabbi, such as those who had immortalized their names and imprinted their thoughts upon the pages of the Talmud. Fired with desire, he studied the Talmud day and night and soon became so proficient in it that he was able to assist his fellow students and thus earn a little money for himself. At the age of eleven he was admired for his astounding knowledge and also for his manifest piety. He used to read and pray a great deal in secret, fast very often, and be very strict and scrupulously exact in the discharge of all religious duties, but alas he was very proud and overbearing, claiming that he knew more than the teacher himself. But “a haughty spirit goeth before a fall”.An unaccountable change came over the boy, now entering upon his twelfth year. He became mischievous and to some extent positively wicked. Prayers were no longer offered; the Sabbath was desecrated; bad books were diligently sought and read; and, grossest of all sins to a strict Jew, an attempt was made to read the New Testament in secret. The words, “I and my father are one,” however exasperated the boy so much that he hurled the book across the room and hated Christianity. He also neglected his books, played truant from school, and finally left school altogether. Then he got into the habits of idleness and distaste for further study and loitered around and got into mischief, no longer desiring to be a Rabbi.But God brought the prodigal to himself. His father met with a misfortune in business which involved the loss of everything. There was hardly bread enough left in the house to satisfy the present demands of the large family. The sudden misfortune and still more the appeal of the father to his boy to help in the work caused Charles to resolve not to be mischievous any more, but to become a pious lad again. He now went to school again and was being prepared for confirmation by a private teacher. But alas, when the time for confirmation came, he could not be confirmed, for the father was again so poor that he could not spare enough money to purchase the necessary phylacteries and nice clothes. The proud boy was extremely humiliated and resolved to leave his father's house and enter some Jewish theological institution in some distant city. With only a few cents in his possession, the boy said goodbye to parents and home and started out into the wide, wide world alone.After many hardships he reached a place called Namensdorf where the Rabbi received him kindly, and after satisfactory examination permitted him to become a student in the Talmudical School. The means of the new student were quite limited, and he often went hungry, but he was comparatively happy and studied diligently. Still, he was no nearer the obtaining of phylacteries and confirmation. Hence he resolved to go to Poland, where famous colleges for the training of young Jews were found. So off he started.In Bialla he found an old friend of his father, who offered to send him to College if he would like to become a Roman Catholic priest. The young Jew refused the offer and turned to go away. Then the man gave him a little money, and Charles Freshman departed in great happiness, for he escaped from being swallowed up by the Christian Church, he thought, and had at last the means of procuring the phylacteries which he had so longed for. He lost no time in procuring them, and then laid out a plan to go to the great Jewish College of Helleshan in Moravia.After five days of weary tramping he arrived at Helleshan and at once became a student in the College. Here he remained over two years, gaining honourable distinction as a student; then he returned to his parents, travelling on foot as usual. He quickly discovered that his parents were not well satisfied that he had left College, but he had no desire now to return to it and for a short time taught at a small school near Micklosh. Then he again left home and resolved to go to the great city of Prague to complete his education as a Rabbi. Again he felt the pressure of hard times as he prosecuted his studies, but he persevered five years, when his education was pronounced complete. He was thoroughly acquainted with the Hebrew language and the Jewish literature, but he had also acquired a good knowledge of other languages, of history, philosophy, and science in general. He received his diploma and other credentials of the highest class, and returned home prouder than ever, because he was now a Rabbi and, in his own estimation, a Rabbi of no mean importance.Instead of looking around for a congregation, the young Rabbi began to look around for a wife, which he found at last. He was married when only 23 years old. Over a year the young couple remained with his wife's wealthy parents, then, instead of looking for a congregation, started in business. Twice he failed, and after officiating occasionally as Rabbi in some of the small synagogues, he was induced to leave his native country for the New World. He came to Canada, accompanied by his wife and five children. Dr. DeSola, the Rabbi of the Portuguese congregation in Montreal, recommended the young Hungarian Rabbi very strongly to the congregation of Quebec, and soon after his arrival in the New World, Charles Freshman was duly installed as Rabbi of a Jewish congregation in Quebec. He at once began to learn the English language, in which he made slow progress however.The congregation in which Mr. Freshman now ministered was composed of mixed nationalities of Jews, but chiefly German and English. He used to officiate in the Hebrew and German languages, and it was not until he had been a long time among the people that he conducted his first service in English. These Jews had little regard for their Sabbath day. Many of them would attend the services of the synagogue and immediately afterward would repair to their places of business or go to the pursuit of pleasures. The Rabbi, strictly orthodox, was horrified at this impiety, and remonstrated with many of them, reproving them severely for their conduct, but he had little or no influence.Slowly the Spirit of God began to work upon the mind of the Jewish Rabbi. Often, as he would pass through the streets and see the large congregations thronging towards the various Christian churches, or returning from the services, his mind would be variously exercised toward them. At one time he would think, “What a pity that such a multitude of people will so easily believe in falsehood, and blasphemously worship a bad man.” But again he would reflect, “Here are men of intelligence, men of education, men of a profound acquaintance with human nature, men who have the Old Testament Scriptures as well as I have, men who are accustomed to exercise their reason and judgment in regard to their worldly affairs, and men who, I am sure, do not place implicit confidence in the Christian religion without some strong foundation upon which to base it. What if, after all, I have only examined one side of the question? What if, after all, they should be right and I should be wrong?”. These kinds of thoughts he usually dismissed without an effort, as a temptation of the devil, but they would frequently recur again, in spite of himself. On one occasion after preaching to his congregation about the restoration of the people of Israel, his mind became more beclouded than ever, and he felt he did not fully believe all he had told his people. In this state of dissatisfaction and perplexity, he went to his desk and carefully unlocked it, and all the while trembling as if he were about to commit a great crime.Hidden in that desk was a neatly bound edition of the Old and New Testaments. Years before that time, during the last years of his sojourn in Hungary, a Jewish missionary of the Scottish Church met the Jewish Rabbi in a hotel in Cashaw and persuaded him to purchase the book. He never looked into it. When he came to Quebec and unpacked his books, he found among them his Bible which he thought he had left in Hungary. He took it and locked it up among his private papers, lest his own wife or children, or some of his congregation should find out that he had such a book in his possession. He felt like a guilty person because he did not destroy it at once, but undoubtedly God directed him to preserve it that He might bring about the final result. For now, in the hour of deepest anxiety and doubt, he unlocked his desk, took out the Bible and went into his library, locking the door securely. Then, secure from all interruption and disturbance, he opened the New Testament, and commenced hastily to read a few pages. After a very short time he threw it away in disgust, exclaiming, “This cannot be”. Soon, however, he took it up again. read a while, and again threw it from him. So he continued for about an hour. At last he became so excited that again taking up the book and reading a while, he threw it on the floor with such violence that several leaves were torn from their places. In a moment he was seized with remorse, and gathering up the loose leaves and placing them in their proper places, he carried the book to its former hiding place and locked it up, firmly resolving never to look into it again.Evening came, but his mind was so greatly disturbed that he could scarcely perform his routine duties in his synagogue. A sleepless night followed, then another day of anxious, perplexing thought, but at last the firm resolution carefully to study the prophets, especially those having reference to the coming of the Messiah.While engaged in this occupation, a Jewish Rabbi from Jerusalem visited Rabbi Freshman, who at once embraced the opportunity to ask the learned man concerning their Messiah. The poor Rabbi from Jerusalem could not answer the questions, and Rabbi Freshman began to think seriously that there was something wrong with the Jewish belief and that the Christians might be right. He even commenced to speak his thoughts aloud to some members of his congregation, and read the New Testament with great care, notwithstanding all his former resolutions. A pious Christian neighbour, Mr. Hinton, spent hours with the inquiring Jew in conversation about religious topics, but the light did not come. Days and nights he searched the Bible, but conviction came not. He remained torn by doubts, neither believing in the Jewish religion fully nor yet being convinced of the truth of Christianity. He wanted to resign his Rabbiship at once, but his good wife was altogether against it, declaring, “I will never become a Christian.”The Jewish Passover was approaching, and the Rabbi had to prepare a special sermon for the occasion. The text he chose was Gen. 49:10 (Genesis 49:10 (TLV) The scepter will not pass from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs will come. To him will be the obedience of the peoples). During the writing of the sermon doubts overcame him so that he determined not to preach it. He called in his wife and told her that he believed in Jesus as the Messiah. She commenced to weep bitterly, and the elder children, learning the state of affairs, joined in with their mother. There was lamentation and mourning, and the Rabbi himself wept. Being unable to endure the sight of misery he had thus brought upon his family, Freshman left his home and repaired to a solitary place beyond the barracks of Quebec. Without human eye to witness his grief and in an agony of soul, he threw himself upon the ground and cried mightily to God. Still, relief did not come, and with a heavy heart he retraced his steps homeward. Without saying a word to his still weeping family, he went into his bedroom where he again prayed and read his Bible.At last after midnight, he became exhausted, and he fell asleep in his chair. Then he beheld in a dream an image of the Saviour on the cross, and over his head were inscribed the words, “I am thy Saviour”. He awoke, firmly resolved to give in his resignation, but again his moral courage failed him and he put it off again.At last, on the day before the Passover, he once more prayerfully pondered over Gen. 49:10, then read Isaiah 53, and suddenly, became fully convinced that Jesus is the expected Messiah. Without the least hesitation he now wrote out his resignation and sent it to the president of the congregation.But now the storm burst upon him in all its new fury. His wife and children wanted to celebrate the Passover as usual, while he had no desire to engage in its celebration. The Jews declared that the Rabbi was insane and dangerous, and tempted his wife and children to leave him. His friends forsook and avoided him, and a story that he had received ten thousand dollars for renouncing his faith was circulated. But, worst of all, Mr. Freshman had not yet full light. He believed in Jesus as the Messiah, but knew nothing of justification or saving faith, and had no clear conception of his condition as a sinner in the sight of God, nor of the necessity of a change of heart. His conversion was of the head, but not of the heart. Many ministers and members of churches in Quebec called on him, but the darkness continued.In this state he continued several weeks; then, while he was listening to a sermon by Rev. Elliott of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, the Spirit of God commenced to operate on his heart, and he wept, although he could hardly tell for what. He again studied his Bible most diligently, commenced to attend churches of different denominations, and prayerfully sought the Lord with all his heart.One night he was crying to God in deep, earnest prayer and was in greatest agony as he saw himself clearly as a lost sinner, unworthy of anything but condemnation. In very self despair he cried out, “Lord, save me or I perish,” and saw no other hope but Christ. At that moment the shadows fled and the burden rolled from his troubled soul. Prayer now gave place to praise, and a marvellous change was wrought in him. He was born again.Mr. Freshman began at once to show others what God had done for his soul. He commenced with his own family. His wife, though slow of heart to believe, consented to accompany him to church, and the children attended the Sabbath school and read the New Testament, thus imbibing the principles of Christianity. One by one, the members of his family fell in with the doctrines of the cross as revealed by God and taught in the New Testament.Rabbi Charles Freshman, his wife and seven children, were baptized in the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Quebec. Ministers of other denominations were present and took part in the remarkable exercises, which were witnessed by a vast assemblage of Christians and by some of the members of the Jewish congregation in which Rabbi Freshman had officiated the three years preceding his baptism.Having spent some time as a lecturer on Jewish subjects, Mr. Freshman was appointed a missionary of the Wesleyan Methodist Church among the Germans in Canada. He was ordained and served the Master faithfully until his death. The congregations which were organized chiefly through his effort were located at Hamilton, Ontario, and in its neighbourhood. Many souls were led to Christ through his efforts, among them several Jews. This is a public episode.

Dr Tony Garcia talks about the book he jointly authored with Ian van der Waag on the Great War roles of roles played by the South African prime minister, General Louis Botha, and his deputy, General Jan Smuts during the Great War. These were very different men and they appealed to different audiences. Botha's nuance and emotional intelligence complemented Smuts's intellectualism. Thrown into a world conflagration in August 1914, Botha and Smuts – facing internal rebellion and the threat posed by German troops on their borders – led South Africa's Union Defence Force, and often commanded from the front. South Africa's campaigns began badly. The campaigns in German South West and East Africa started with reverses at Sandfontein in September 1914 and Salaitia in January 1916. However, Springbok soldiers of all backgrounds proved resilient, and the later campaigns were marked by near uniform success. The “first-battle” experiences had reshaped thinking and led to better leadership and command at all levels. Both Botha and Smuts commanded in the field. Steadily, the South African army they commanded – benefiting from wartime training, sometimes in the field – gained resilience, experience, and battle-hardiness, adapting to the conditions of the campaigns and the demands of the tasks. South Africa's campaigns were complex and divergent, starting with the invasion of neighbouring German South West Africa – to neutralise the radio stations and so aid security in the South Atlantic. Suddenly suspended following the outbreak of the Afrikaner Rebellion, the campaign recommenced in January 1915. Following its conclusion, an infantry brigade, raised for the Western Front, was diverted to Egypt before facing near annihilation at Delville Wood. Reconstructed more than once, the brigade was accompanied by a field ambulance and general hospital. The South African deployment in France included two brigades of heavy artillery, a signal company, a railway company, and Auxiliary Horse Transport Company, and several South African Native Labour Contingents. At the same time, a large South African force, fighting alongside troops from British Africa and India, broke German resistance in East Africa, and a brigade of field artillery and later the Cape Corps served in Egypt and Palestine. In addition, more than 6 500 South Africans served in the British Army, the Royal Flying Corps, later the Royal Air Force, and on ships of the Royal Navy. Although lionised during the war by a British public hungry for heroes, there is a different side to Botha and Smuts. Shunned by Afrikaner nationalists at the time, they have remained divisive figures. Responsible for the enactment of the Land Act of 1913, which shaped South Africa's socio-economic and political landscape, Botha's statue in Cape Town was vandalised in 2015 and 2016. Behind his charming, attractive façade, and Smuts's stoic machine, were two very human, imperfect, and quite probably inconsiderate, men. Together they provide a wonderful lens through which to examine the potent forces of the early twentieth-century world and the country they hoped to forge. Myopic compatriots had constrained their plans; but it was the outbreak of war in 1914 that offered the most significant opportunities and brought the most adverse challenges. They fought insurmountable odds, and achieved great victories, at home and abroad, but also made startling errors, and, ultimately, in classical fashion risked being crushed by the weight of the world they tried to create. Ian van der Waag is a faculty member in Military History at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Tony Garcia is Research Fellow at Stellenbosch University. His latest book publication The First Campaign Victory of the Great War was published by Helion in 2019.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.27.550778v1?rss=1 Authors: von Ziegler, L. M., Roessler, F. K., Sturman, O., Waag, R., Privitera, M., Duss, S. N., O'Connor, E. C., Bohacek, J. Abstract: The nuanced detection of rodent behavior in preclinical biomedical research is essential for understanding disease conditions, genetic phenotypes, and internal states. Recent advances in machine vision and artificial intelligence have popularized data-driven methods that segment complex animal behavior into clusters of behavioral motifs. However, despite the rapid progress, several challenges remain: Statistical power typically decreases due to multiple testing correction, poor transferability of clustering approaches across experiments limits practical applications, and individual differences in behavior are not considered. Here, we introduce "behavioral flow analysis" (BFA), which creates a single metric for all observed transitions between behavioral motifs. Then, we establish a "classifier-in-the-middle" approach to stabilize clusters and enable transferability of our analyses across datasets. Finally, we combine these approaches with dimensionality reduction techniques, enabling "behavioral flow fingerprinting" (BFF) for individual animal assessment. We validate our approaches across large behavioral datasets with a total of 443 open field recordings that we make publicly available, comparing various stress protocols with pharmacologic and brain-circuit interventions. Our analysis pipeline is compatible with a range of established clustering approaches, it increases statistical power compared to conventional techniques, and has strong reproducibility across experiments within and across laboratories. The efficient individual phenotyping allows us to classify stress-responsiveness and predict future behavior. This approach aligns with animal welfare regulations by reducing animal numbers, and enhancing information extracted from experimental animals Copy rights belong to original authors.

De snelheid en schaal van kunstmatige intelligentie opent ongekende mogelijkheden. Hoe fijn is dat? Of zijn we bezig een legertje monsters van Frankenstein te creëren, die de democratie en de rechtstaat bedreigen? In de vijfde aflevering van Het Filosofisch Kwintet gaat het over het algemeen belang en de rol van kunstmatige intelligentie. Presentator Clairy Polak spreekt met Marleen Stikker (directeur van Waag en oprichter van de Digitale stad), Bart van der Sloot (techniekfilosoof in Tilburg), Tjark Tjin-A-Tjoi (CEO van TNO) en Reijer Passchier (hoogleraar Digitalisering en de democratische rechtstaat).

Heute gibt es eine Founderstory wie aus dem Lehrbuch auf der gelben Couch, denn ich hatte Isatu Waag von Immonu zu Gast. Isatu hatte bereits Ecozins gegründet, eine Crowdinvesting Plattform für nachhaltige Geldanlage. Hört mehr dazu in Folge 17. (https://gelbecouch.de/017-ueber-nachhaltigkeit-und-geldanlage/) Isatu suchte nach neuen Herausforderungen und nach ihrem Ausstieg aus dem Startup widmete sie sich privaten Immobilienprojekten. Aus der Leidenschaft wurde schnell ein neuer Job, als Bauherrin, Innenarchitektin und nicht zuletzt: Hausverwalterin. Und hier entstand die Idee für ihre neue Gründung. Worum es genau geht erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge. Viel Spaß! Moderation: Steffen Schmidt | Audioproduktion: Clemenz Korn Eine Podcast der WR56 Kreativagentur (www.wr56.de) in Marburg.

Die lewe loop soms vreemde draaie met ʼn mens, niemand beplan om eendag te skei wanneer hulle trou nie. En soms kom daar 'n tweede kans op liefde oor ʼn mens se pad. Maroela Media

We discuss with the Chief Executive Officer of Sheep Producers Australia an imminent trip to Western Australia to share first-hand what happens on a sheep live export vessel as the Albanese Labor government forges ahead with banning the practice, with cattle producers anxiously watching on. We also update listeners on the progress - or lack thereof - of state funding commitments towards electronic traceability of sheep.

Founding director of The Livestock Collective and Western Australian merino farmer, Steven Bolt, chats with FlowFM listeners across regional Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia about how the federal Labor government's move to phase out live exports of sheep will affect the broader livestock industry, why the ban is based on an outdated perspective on live exports, and how the refrigerated alternative won't go down well in some destination markets.

2 Timoteus 3:12,13 Almal wat in Christus Jesus toegewy aan God wil lewe, sal ook vervolg word. Maar goddelose mense en bedrieërs sal voortgaan van kwaad tot erger. Hulle mislei ander en word self mislei.Jesus het baie beloftes aan sy dissipels gemaak. Een van daardie beloftes, waarop ons met uitroepe van lof en hallelujas, kan staan, is, dat as hulle Hom vervolg (wat gebeur het) hulle ons ook gaan vervolg.Dis nou vir jou 'n vrolike gedagte, nè? Maar dit is waar, is dit nie? In sekere lande, soos die een waar ek woon, was dit vir Christene vir baie jare redelik maklik om hulle geloof uit te leef. Op ander plekke is hulle erg vervolg. Waar jy ook al woon, ongeag jou situasie, is vervolging reeds hier óf dit is net om die draai.Maar, al ervaar diegene van ons, wat dit tot op hierdie punt maklik gehad het, hierdie stygende vlaag van vervolging met groot skok, is dit niks nuuts nie. Kyk wat skryf die wyse ou apostel, Paulus, aan sy leerling Timoteus in:2 Timoteus 3:12,13 Almal wat in Christus Jesus toegewy aan God wil lewe, sal ook vervolg word. Maar goddelose mense en bedrieërs sal voortgaan van kwaad tot erger. Hulle mislei ander en word self mislei.Wie is die ‘almal' wat vervolg gaan word? Elkeen wat met ware toewyding aan God in Christus Jesus wil lewe.As jy dus na die maklikste manier soek om vervolging te vermy, moet jy ophou om jou ware toewyding aan Christus te wys. Jy moet maar net onopsigtelik bloot deel van die skare word. Ek kan immers net in privaatheid in Jesus glo, en in die openbaar soos almal om my lyk. Dis die perfekte oplossing om vervolging te vermy.Maar soos Charles Spurgeon eenkeer gesê het: Dit sal 'n hartseer dag vir die kerk en vir die wêreld wees, wanneer daar geen onderskeid meer tussen die kinders van God en dié van hierdie wêreld is nie.Jy is die lig van die wêreld. Hou op om te probeer inpas.Dit is God se Woord.

N., Zhang, R., Leimbacher, S., Sturman, O., Waag, R., Roessler, F., Heylen, A., Vermeiren, Y., Van Dam, D., De Deyn, P. P., Bohacek, J. Abstract: Exposure to an acute stressor triggers a complex cascade of neurochemical events in the brain. However, deciphering their individual impact on stress-induced molecular changes remains a major challenge. Here we combine RNA-sequencing with selective pharmacological, chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations to isolate the contribution of the locus coeruleus - noradrenaline (LN-NA) system to the acute stress response. We reveal that NA-release during stress exposure regulates a large and reproducible set of genes in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus via {beta}-adrenergic receptors. For a smaller subset of these genes, we show that NA release triggered by LC stimulation is sufficient to mimic the stress-induced transcriptional response. We observe these effects in both sexes, independent of the pattern and frequency of LC activation. Using a retrograde optogenetic approach, we demonstrate that hippocampus-projecting LC neurons directly regulate hippocampal gene expression. Overall, a highly selective set of astrocyte-enriched genes emerges as key targets of LC-NA activation, most prominently several subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (Ppp1r3c, Ppp1r3d, Ppp1r3g) and type II iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio2). These results highlight the importance of astrocytic energy metabolism and thyroid hormone signaling in LC mediated hippocampal function, and offer new molecular targets for understanding LC function in health and disease.

Waag dit ʼn volgende keer om ʼn tweede keer te vra “hoe gaan dit regtig met jou” en moenie verbaas wees as daar trane in daardie persoon se oë kom nie.

Dit is alweer de derde aflevering van onze Dinocast-Extra serie, waarin we je meenemen achter de schermen van onze tv-serie ‘Dinojacht' die je kunt bekijken op Videoland. Vandaag aflevering 3, over geld. We zijn inmiddels beland in de totale middle of nowhere. Waag het niet dat tegen de locals te zeggen, die hebben het over 'Gods country'. Maar denk niet dat het alleen melk en honing is daar. We nemen je mee uit eten op een plek waar zelfs levensgenieter Maarten om genade smeekt. En we vertellen je precies wat er gebeurde met dino-cowboy Clayton Phipps. Maarten zat uren met hem in de auto en weet de smakelijke details. En er wordt geld verdiend met dino's, maar lang niet iedereen wordt er rijk van. Hoe zit dat?

Sinds Elon Musk er de baas is, volgt bij Twitter de ene rel na de andere: accounts van journalisten worden verwijderd en even later weer teruggeplaatst, oud-president Trump mag terugkomen, en wat wel en niet is toegestaan op het sociale mediaplatform is volkomen onduidelijk. Voorlopig dieptepunt is de deze week de door Musk gehouden peiling over zijn toekomst. 58 procent van de Twittergemeenschap zegt dat hij beter kan vertrekken; een uitslag die hij in twijfel trekt. Maar hoe is het zo ver kunnen komen bij het sociale mediaplatform met wereldwijd 217 miljoen gebruikers? ‘Het begon ooit met een klein groepje idealisten', weet internetpionier Marleen Stikker. De directeur en oprichter van het Waag-future-lab, en Professor of Practice bij de Hogeschool van Amsterdam is te gast.

Prediker 11:3,4 As die wolke vol water is, reën hulle leeg op die aarde; of 'n boom nou suid of noord val, dit bly lê waar dit geval het. Wie die wind bly dophou, saai nie, wie na die wolke bly kyk, oes nie.Een van die moeilikste dinge, is sekerlik om in geloof op te tree wanneer dinge rondom ons onseker is. Ja, dis swaar om ons tyd, ons energie en ons hulpbronne in goeie werke te belê, wanneer die uitkoms baie onseker lyk. Daar is ‘n Engelse spreekwoord wat sê dat al waarvan ons seker kan wees, is dat ons eendag gaan sterf en nou belasting moet betaal. Alles anders is onseker. En soos ons gister gesien het, sal selfs die goeie dinge in ons lewens wat vandag rotsvas lyk en voel: 'n huwelik, 'n huis, alles eendag tot 'n einde kom. Miskien voel jy dat God jou op een of ander manier aanmoedig om ‘n opoffering te maak te midde van onsekerheid? Jy voel dalk dat die tydsberekening nie nou reg is om in hierdie of daardie goeie werk te belê nie. Die omstandighede lyk op die oomblik ver van ideaal af. Dink jy nou: "Miskien is dit beter om te wag, totdat die omstandighede beter is?" Prediker 11:3,4 As die wolke vol water is, reën hulle leeg op die aarde; of 'n boom nou suid of noord val, dit bly lê waar dit geval het. Wie die wind bly dophou, saai nie, wie na die wolke bly kyk, oes nie. Met ander woorde, wanneer God ons roep om in geloof op te tree, lyk die omstandighede nooit ideaal nie. Daar is altyd, ten minste vanuit ons eng wêreldse perspektief, 'n element van onsekerheid. Maar weet jy, as ons wag totdat die omstandighede ideaal is, sal ons nooit sover kom om iets te doen nie. Vertrou op God. Waag, ten spyte van jou omstandighede. Dis Sy Woord.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.02.518829v1?rss=1 Authors: Fan, Z., Ardicoglu, R., Batavia, A., Rust, R., von Ziegler, L., Waag, R., Zhang, J., Desgeorges, T., Sturman, O., Dang, H., Weber, R., Moor, A. E., Schwab, M. E., Germain, P.-L., Bohacek, J., De Bock, K. Abstract: The molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis have been intensely studied, but many genes that control endothelial behavior and fate still need to be described. Here, we characterize the role of Apold1 (Apolipoprotein L domain containing 1) in angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Single-cell analyses reveal that - across tissues - the expression of Apold1 is restricted to the vasculature, and that Apold1 expression in endothelial cells (ECs) is highly sensitive to environmental factors. Using Apold1-/- mice, we find that Apold1 is dispensable for development and does not affect postnatal retinal angiogenesis nor alters the vascular network in adult brain and muscle. However, when exposed to ischemic conditions following photothrombotic stroke as well as femoral artery ligation, Apold1-/- mice display dramatic impairments in recovery and revascularization. We also find that human tumor endothelial cells express strikingly higher levels of Apold1, and that Apold1 deletion in mice stunts the growth of subcutaneous B16 melanoma tumors, which have smaller and poorly perfused vessels. Mechanistically, Apold1 is activated in ECs upon growth factor stimulation as well as in hypoxia, and Apold1 intrinsically controls EC proliferation but not migration. Our data demonstrate that Apold1 is a key regulator of angiogenesis in pathological settings, whereas it does not affect developmental angiogenesis, thus making it a promising candidate for clinical investigation.

Sinds Elon Musk aan het roer van twitter staat, zoekt een groep teleurgestelde twitteraars naar een alternatief platform. Mastodon, waar een tweet een toot heet, trekt de meeste aandacht. Wat zijn de voor- en nadelen?  Elon Musk is sinds vorige week 'chief twit' zoals hij dat zelf noemt, de officiële eigenaar van twitter, en hij liet ook direct zien dat hij - en hij alleen - daar de baas is. Op dag één ontsloeg hij de hele bedrijfstop en de dagen daarna verliepen ook tumultueus. Een deel van de twittergemeenschap maakt zich zorgen over de invloed van Musk, zeker nu hij zich steeds vaker politiek laat gelden en controversiële standpunten inneemt. Twitteraars zoeken naar alternatieven en komen massaal uit bij Mastodon. Techjournalist Eva Hofman van De Groene Amsterdammer vertelt in podcast De Dag over wat twittervluchtelingen op dat alternatieve platform aantreffen en hoe het werkt. En Sander van der Waal van onderzoeksinstituut over technologie Waag ziet momentum ontstaan voor een radicaal andere manier van social media-gebruik.  Heeft hij gelijk, of zitten we straks toch weer gewoon allemaal te tweeten ipv te tooten?

April, de maand waarin veel natuurlijk schoon tot bloei komt, staat in teken van de vraag 'wat dien je in de wereld te brengen?'Je bent nu vrij in het kiezen van je positie en van je activiteiten. Door speels met de dingen om te gaan ontdek je nieuwe mogelijkheden, die waarschijnlijk aansluiten bij de kiemen die er gelegd zijn. Grijp die nieuwe mogelijkheden ook al lijken ze gewaagd. Waag de sprong!Je kan opgewonden en geestdriftig raken, omdat je ervaart dat je bezieling direct verbonden is met je handelen. Het gevaar is dat je in een roes van opwinding meegezogen wordt. Naast de opwinding blijft het ook gaan over de behandeling van details en het uithouden van frustratie. Routinematige zaken vereisen veel energie en onderhoud, terwijl de impuls die van opwinding en geestdrift is. Dat is lastig. Het is de tijd waarin je verantwoordelijkheid op je neemt en het gezag uitoefent dat hoort bij die verantwoordelijkheid. Daarbij moet de kracht naar buiten in toom gehouden worden door je innerlijke kracht. Dan is je autoriteit van een natuurlijke aarde en zal door de buitenwereld geaccepteerd kunnen. Het is aan de orde om de kiemen die een eerste vorm aangenomen hebben, mooi te maken. Schoonheid is van belang want het maakt de dingen aantrekkelijk. Maar de vorm mag de essentie nooit overstijgen; het mag er slechts een uitdrukking van zijn. Als schoonheid een doel op zich wordt dan ontaard het in opsmuk en kitsch.

Dans son émission média, Philippe Vandel et sa bande reçoivent chaque jour un invité. Aujourd'hui, Jérôme Pitorin, journaliste, animateur, et Pauline Waag, rédactrice en chef, pour le magazine "Échappées belles".

Ooit, nog voor de millenniumwisseling, ging er van het internet een geweldig democratische belofte uit. Als een soort digitaal marktplein zou het een ruimte bieden voor vrije uitwisseling van ideeën en gedachtegoed. Maar het internet is grotendeels gecorrumpeerd geraakt door grote platforms die draaien op de verkoop van data van haar gebruikers. De beloftes van het jonge internet, wat is daarmee gebeurd? En hoe snijden we deze potentie weer aan? Teruggrijpend op de democratische beloftes van het internet, bespreekt redacteur Eva Hofman deze week alternatieve versies van het digitale web. Want, modereren kun je leren. Of althans, dat is het idee van het nieuwe platform De Groene Ruimte, dat deze week is gelanceerd in samenwerking met Waag. Naast de mogelijkheid om direct in gesprek te treden met de Groene-redacteuren, experimenteert De Groene Ruimte met etiquettes in de publieke ruimte van het internet. U bent van harte welkom.  De Groene ruimte is beschikbaar via de chat app Element. Sluit je aan! Productie: Kees van den Bosch, Marieke de Haas en Roza Ybema

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Anja Sicking over haar nieuwste boek 'De Visionair'.  Anja Sicking (Den Haag, 1965) is een Nederlandse schrijver. Sicking studeerde klarinet aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag.  Anja Sicking debuteerde in 2000 met Het Keuriskwartet, waarvoor ze de Geertjan Lubberhuizenprijs ontving. Haar tweede roman, De stomme zonde, is vertaald in het Duits, Engels en Turks. Ze is redacteur van het literaire tijdschrift Tirade en geeft les op de Schrijversvakschool Amsterdam. Ze schreef meerdere essays over 'de schrijfrobot', onder andere in Trouw en Tirade. Eerder dit jaar trad ze  op in Waag for the Future in een programma over 'De verbeelding van de toekomst'. Ze was ook te gast bij het Brainwash Festval in een programma over Deep Fake.  In De visionair onderzoekt Anja Sicking de ethische dilemma's die voortkomen uit onze steeds grotere afhankelijkheid van kunstmatige intelligentie. In een sensitieve stijl, met mededogen voor haar personages, weet ze de lezer mee te voeren in een wereld waarin techreuzen de macht grijpen.

Dagelijkse overdenking bij het She Rises Bijbelleesplan. In de maand februari is het thema: Esther Vandaag lezen we Esther 5: 1-14

'Het internet is stuk', luidt de titel van het boek dat Marleen Stikker publiceerde in 2019. De ondertitel van het boek is hoopgevender: ‘Maar we kunnen het repareren'. In deze aflevering gaat Remco Pijpers met Stikker in gesprek over de trend van technologie en publieke waarden in het onderwijs. Is het onderwijs erop vooruitgegaan wat betreft technologie en publieke waarden? Hoe ziet Stikker het burgerschap in een digitale context? En hoe stellen we leerlingen en studenten in staat het internet eerlijk en inclusief te maken? Marleen Stikker is oprichter, directeur en bestuurder van Waag, een onderzoeksinstelling actief op het kruispunt van kunst, wetenschap en technologie. Vanuit de waarden open, eerlijk en inclusief, onderzoeken Stikker en haar collega's de sociale en culturele impact van technologie. Haar boek 'Het internet is stuk' deed veel stof opwaaien over de erosie van publieke waarden onder de invloed van machtige techreuzen. De digitale toekomst Zo vindt Stikker dat ook jongeren een stem verdienen in het gesprek over alternatieve oplossingen. “Wij vormen hun digitale wereld,” zegt Stikker. “Hoe eerder ze daaraan mee kunnen bouwen, hoe beter. Ze moeten nu al relevant kunnen zijn, niet morgen pas.”   Iemand als Elon Musk vindt ze een verkeerd voorbeeld voor jonge mensen om zich aan te spiegelen. “Ik heb heel veel moeite met die man. Een beetje clownesk. Een groot deel van zijn verhaal vind ik nonsens, soms zelfs gevaarlijk. Dat we een kabel in onze nekwervels zouden krijgen en dat we dan nog intelligenter zouden worden. Hij vertelt een verkeerd verhaal over wie wij mensen zijn en wat onze toekomst is.” 

2 Tessalonisense 3:3,4 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar. Verder gee die Here ons sekerheid oor julle, dat julle dit wat ons vra, doen en sál doen (NLV).Die nuwe jaar is 'n wonderlike geleentheid om weg te draai van die een ding in jou lewe wat jy weet verkeerd is. Maar net wanneer jy in geloof jou rug daarop keer, lê die ou duiwel reg om in te spring.Ons praat hier van bekering. Dit beteken om op te hou om dít wat ons weet verkeerd is, te doen. Raak ontslae van daardie klippie in jou skoen wat jou die hele tyd laat struikel. Die besluit om God bo alles in jou lewe te stel, is 'n radikale stap. Een wat nie ongemerk in die koninkryk van duisternis sal verby gaan nie. Moenie 'n fout maak nie, as jy jou met ‘n opregte hart van die sonde bekeer, tree die duiwel in. Hy sal jou meer as gewoonlik pla. Dis net hoe dit werk. Maar kyk wat staan in:2 Tessalonisense 3: 3 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar.Die getrouheid van God is die enigste ding in hierdie wêreld wat ons nooit sal teleurstel nie, want dit misluk nooit nie. God se getrouheid is rotsvas en ewig. En as Hy sê - soos Hy hier deur sy Woord sê - dat Hy jou die krag sal gee en jou teen die Bose sal beskerm, dan is dit presies wat Hy sal doen. Trouens, die apostel Paulus gaan voort in:2 Tessalonisense 3: 4 Verder gee die Here ons sekerheid oor julle, dat julle dit wat ons vra, doen en sál doen.Hier aan die begin van die nuwe jaar is die gulde geleentheid om jou van die een ding in jou lewe, wat jy weet verkeerd is, te bekeer. Neem die uitdaging aan met die volle vertroue, dat God jou krag sal gee en jou sal beskerm as die duiwel jou op sleeptou wil neem.Maar die Here is getrou!

Is het terecht dat Donald Trump verbannen is van Facebook, of dat je er geen foto's van Zwarte Piet meer mag delen? Sinds kort heeft Facebook de Oversight Board, een soort groep van opperrechters die beslist over dit soort kwesties. Maar wie zitten daarin? En hoe werken ze? Techredacteur Pieter Sabel en hoogleraar en Waag-directeur Marleen Stikker over misschien wel de machtigste rechters ooit benoemd, de Oversight Board van Facebook.

In this episode, Dr Anaïs Waag (University of Lincoln) talks to the CWD's Dr Sophie Ambler about some of the thirteenth century's most notable women, and how their letters illuminate their role in diplomacy, warfare, and the commemoration of battle. From civil wars to crusades, royal women like Berenguela and Blanche of Castile and Eleanor and Marguerite of Provence played a vital part in securing peace treaties – but also in raising and leading armies and celebrating the military feats of their families. Drawing from the evidence of their letters, Dr Waag asks whether these women worked within a gendered language of power, and explains how a comparative study of their careers invites us to revise our understanding of how royal rule operated in medieval Europe. Dr Waag is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of History and Heritage at the University of Lincoln. She specialises in gender studies and women's history in medieval Europe, taking a comparative perspective to examine how female power was formally and publicly expressed in England, France and the Iberian Peninsula. Her publications include 'Gender and the language of politics in thirteenth-century queens' letters', published in Historical Research, 'Rethinking battle commemoration: female letters and the myth of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa', in the Journal of Medieval History, and most recently 'The Letters of Eleanor and Marguerite of Provence in Thirteenth-Century Anglo-French Relations', in the series Thirteenth Century England.
