Podcasts about Waterland

Welkom bij 'Helende gesprekken', dé video-podcast (kijk voor de video op YouTube: @stephaniekaars) waarin ik om de week in gesprek ga met iemand die een bijzonder verhaal te vertellen heeft dat hoop, licht en inspiratie brengt.5 Mei 2025 is het tachtig jaar geleden dat Nederland werd bevrijd; het aantal mensen dat de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft meegemaakt én dit zich nog kan herinneren, wordt steeds schaarser. Dit bracht mij op het idee om met mijn eigen 95-jarige oma, Sientje Kaars-Stolk, in gesprek te gaan over deze tijd. Sientje werd op 24 februari 1930 geboren en was dus een meisje van tien toen de oorlog begon. Zij vertelt over haar eenvoudige, maar fijne jeugd in het Noord-Hollandse dorp Broek in Waterland, waarin ze op klompen naar de lagere school liep, haar moeder hielp om van melk boter te maken en waarin Amsterdammers die honger leden langskwamen om linnen te ruilen voor eten. De oorlog speelde voor Sientje slechts een rol op de achtergrond, terwijl de jongen die ze na de oorlog ontmoette en die later haar echtgenoot werd, Dirk Kaars, wél trauma's opliep van 1940 tot '45. Hij was zes jaar ouder dan Sientje, zat in het verzet maar werd verraden, moest naar kamp Amersfoort en werd daarna te werk gesteld in Duitsland. Tijdens zijn leven met Sientje liet hij maar mondjesmaat iets los over wat hij in de oorlog had meegemaakt. Een ding was wél duidelijk: rode kool en andere koolsoorten wilde hij nooit meer, want die herinnerden hem aan zijn tijd in Duitsland waarin hij slechts koolsoep te eten kreeg.Sientje zelf had nooit grote ambities, zij had maar een wens: moeder worden. Die is ruimschoots uitgekomen, want ze kreeg drie kinderen, werd oma van vijf kleinkinderen en omi van zes achterkleinkinderen. In dit helende gesprek blikt Sientje terug op een tijd waaraan de herinneringen langzaam maar zeker vervagen...Ook benieuwd naar mijn verhaal? Luister dan de tien afleveringen van 'Mijn helende verhaal' op dit kanaal, plus de toegift van mijn dochter Sterre. Laat alsjeblieft een review achter en abonneer je op deze podcast als je niets wilt missen. Liefs, Stephanie (www.stephaniekaars.nl)

Ook Berlage is ooit ergens begonnen, en wel als tekenaar op het architectenbureau van Theodor Sanders. Dat was niet alleen een bevlogen en hoogst originele architect, maar ook een enthousiaste ondernemer met een bijzondere voorliefde voor spoorwegen. Berlage werd wereldberoemd, Sanders raakte in het vergeetboek, ondanks zijn bijdragen aan de bloei van 19e eeuws Amsterdam. Sanders bouwde 's lands eerste sportcomplex op het Museumplein en zijn Noord-Hollandsche Tram ontsloot het Waterland en bracht het toerisme naar Marken en Volendam. Zij aan zij met zijn vrouw Cateau Huidekoper streed hij bovendien voor geboortebeperking, vrouwenkiesrecht, arbeidersrechten en onderwijsvernieuwing. Samen met Arjan den Boer brengt Koen Kleijn deze architect terug in de schijnwerpers. Arjan den Boer schrijft over monumenten, architectuur, affiches en spoorweghistorie en is auteur van Theodor Sanders - De vergeten compagnon van Berlage (1847-1927).

EuroParcs zit in financiële nood. Met een nieuw schuldenakkoord probeert het bedrijf gedwongen verkoop van parken te voorkomen. De grootste aandeelhouder, investeringsmaatschappij Waterland, zal het grootste bedrag moeten bijstorten. EuroParcs kampt met een schuld van meer dan €200 miljoen aan financiers zoals Ares, Rabobank en ABN Amro. Onderzoeksjournalist Joris Polman vertelt wat deze deal betekent voor de betrokken partijen en de toekomst van EuroParcs. Lees: Waterland moet bijstorten om EuroParcs te redden  UniCredit heeft zijn belang in de Duitse Commerzbank verhoogd tot 21%, wat heeft geleid tot een scherpe reactie van bondskanselier Olaf Scholz. Deze aankoop wordt gezien als een vijandige overname en veroorzaakt grote politieke onrust in Berlijn. Het Italiaanse UniCredit nam twee weken geleden al onverwachts 9% van de aandelen van Commerzbank over. UniCredit's bestuursvoorzitter Andrea Orcel is volhardend. Verslaggever Pieter Couwenbergh vertelt hoe deze onverwachte overname de bankensector opschudt. Lees: Scholz haalt hard uit naar UniCredit na aankoop aandelen in Commerzbank en Italiaans UniCredit verrast Berlijn met greep naar Commerzbank  De afgelopen zes maanden steeg de aandelenkoers van de Amerikaanse huisdierenverzekeraar Trupanion met 63%.

Om (te) hoge rekeningen te voorkomen, kiezen steeds meer baasjes ervoor om hun hond of kat te verzekeren. Ook in Nederland is er een gat in de markt, vertelt beursredacteur Jennifer Mol.

Met meer dan tweehonderd sportclubs in Nederland en honderden in België, Luxemburg, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Spanje is Basic-Fit één van de grootste fitnessketens van Europa. In deze aflevering van Doorgelicht richten journalist Nina van den Dungen en analist Jim Tehupuring de schijnwerper op de feloranje fitnessgigant zodat jij als belegger kan bepalen wat een Basic-Fit-aandeel nou écht waard is. Nina vertelt je alles over de geschiedenis van Basic-Fit en Jim doet een fundamentele analyse.       Het bedrijf  Basic-Fit is een Nederlandse sportschoolketen en de grootste speler op de Europese fitnessmarkt. Met bijna vier miljoen leden en meer dan duizend clubs realiseert het bedrijf een jaarlijkse omzet van bijna een miljard euro.   De fundering voor Basic-Fit werd in 2004 gelegd toen ex-tennisprofessionals René Moos en Eric Wilborts besloten om hun sport- en tennisscholen te fuseren tot één bedrijf: HealthCity. Met een investering van durfkapitaalinvesteerder Waterland groeide de fusie al snel uit tot één van de grotere ketens in Nederland.  In 2010 nam HealthCity de kleine sportschoolketen Basic-Fit over, waarna het bedrijf het Basic-Fit-merk bijna volledig overnam. Omdat er destijd sprake was van een economische crisis, bleken budgetsportscholen het een stuk beter te doen.   In 2013 besloot Waterland om het belang dat het in Basic-Fit had te verkopen, waarna de Britse investeringsgroep 3i een belang van 55 procent kocht. Drie jaar later ging Basic-Fit uit voorzorg de beurs op nadat het Verenigd Koninkrijk de plannen voor Brexit aankondigde. Hoewel 3i de waarde van het bedrijf op bijna een miljard euro schatte, leverde de beursgang slechts iets meer dan 370 miljoen euro op.   Met de coronacrisis en de daaropvolgende lockdowns en sluitingen van sportscholen, leed Basic-Fit flinke verliezen: in 2020 120 miljoen euro en in 2022 145 miljoen euro. Desondanks breidde de keten tijdens corona wel flink uit, medegefinancierd met een aandelenemissie in 2020 die goed was voor ruim 130 miljoen euro. Daardoor kreeg Basic Fit er in de coronacrisis alsnog 416 nieuwe vestigingen bij.   Dat zorgt vandaag de dag voor een flinke schuldpositie op de balans van Basic-Fit die langzaam maar zeker richting de miljard euro oploopt. Toch hoopt Basic-Fit met de groeistrategie een hogere omzet en winst te realiseren die moet compenseren voor de schuldpositie.  De fundamentele analyse  Voor Basic Fit bespreken we onder andere de omzet, de winst, de (dunne) marges en de schuldenratio. Ook kijken verder dan de cijfers, we focussen onder andere op het businessmodel van Basic-Fit, de schaalvoordelen die het bedrijf heeft en de plek die het inneemt binnen de totale fitnessmarkt.  De presentatoren  Nina van den Dungen is journalist en presentatrice bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Als echte verhalenverteller vertelt ze je alles over ontstaansgeschiedenis van bedrijven.   Jim Tehupuring is analist en vermogensbeheerder bij 1Vermogensbeheer. Met een flink dossier aan kennis en jarenlange ervaring in de financiële wereld, analyseert hij bedrijven in begrijpelijke taal.   Over Doorgelicht  In Doorgelicht richten Nina van den Dungen en Jim Tehupuring de schijnwerper op de bedrijven achter je favoriete aandelen zodat jij als belegger kan bepalen wat ze nou écht waard zijn.    Disclaimer  De inhoud van Doorgelicht is geen financieel advies. Beleg altijd op basis van je eigen overwegingen en onderzoek.  Redactie en montage  Niels Kooloos See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023 was a busy year for M&A in the PR/comms industry. One of the most significant of these deals was announced in October when Lansons was acquired by Team Farner.   This episode of Waypointers sees Gordon Tempest-Hay, the CEO of Lansons telling Waypoint partner Jim Houghton the story behind the deal headlines and his and Farner's ambitions – “to become the European management consultancy for integrated communications”.  Farner might not be a well-known entity in the UK, but that's about to change. We also hear about Gordon's rather circuitous route into the comms industry by way of spending almost ten years trying to make it as a rock star (hint, he came very close!) Once in the industry, from working in-house at the DWP, Gordon moved agency side, taking up roles at some of its most notable businesses – Fishburn Hedges, Blue Rubicon, Teneo/Blue Rubicon and from 2022, Lansons.  At BR/Teneo, and then again when Lansons became part of Waterland backed Farner, he's had plenty of experience working with private equity investors.  He talks positively about the value they bring to a partnership and the support they have provided him in good times as well as bad.

According to filmmaker and founder of the Identity Development Institute, Stephen Gyllenhaal, “The best instrument in the world is another human being.” In this episode, he and Thomas discuss the importance of resonance to trauma healing. Similar to attunement, resonance involves communication between nervous systems wherein our bodies transmit our pain to others within a safe and open environment. This is also the basis for the Intention Method (IoPT) sessions that changed Stephen's life and inspired him to start training others in this unique methodology. He explains that early traumas make positive change and evolution difficult, and how being present in connection with others has allowed him to experience profound healing.  He and Thomas also discuss how the art of cinema is a form of resonance, and the themes of galactic resonance that are explored in his upcoming documentary, The Universe Sings. Key Points: 00:45 Movies as an expression of trauma 06:54 Trauma travels generations 11:24 Healing requires digging at the core 18:45 The human being as an attuned resonator 24:52 Resonance is presence 28:36 Film and TV representations of trauma 37:18 How media creates spaces for conversation 41:46 The way to trauma healing   Stephen Gyllenhaal is a film director, poet, and Founding Director of the Identity Development Institute, which aims to grow a community of practitioners, researchers, and educators that integrate trauma in facilitating healthy identities.

In this episode, I speak to the legendary Karin Bloemen at her home in Broek in Waterland, The Netherlands. My dear friend Sonja Dippel, who runs One Billion Happy out of The Netherlands, arranged this meeting, and right away I knew I was in the presence of someone possessing extraordinary wisdom. Sonja, in her message to me, defined Karin in one word:  "Karin is color." After our conversation, I realized just how true that is, and just how many colors there really are, from the darkest to the brightest, that have come together to form a true human being.Karin is a force of overcoming incredible adversity and finding a path to your personal peace. She is an actress, a singer, an Instagram sensation, and the author of two books. In all arts, and particularly the art of living, I have rarely encountered someone who can do it as well as she has.Unfortunately, this week's episode discusses repeated incidents of sexual abuse that she and women around her have suffered. The goal of that aspect of this discussion is to inform and discuss how we can put an end to this heinously ugly side of humanity once and for all and support all victims, past and present. Remember, you are not alone, and help is out there and very willing to engage with you.Listen as we discuss:Why fame isn't a big deal after all.What's the secret to a happy marriage? (Karin is married 30 years to her best friend.)How Karin raised the son of her sister, who died in a fire with two of her children.The extraordinary challenge of being a mother as a sexual assault victim.Karin's top parenting tip? Let teenagers be teenagers, but have zero tolerance for lying.The story of Karin's sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather.How can we stop sexual abuse and support the victims?What is the dynamic that leads men to sexually assault a child?Understanding intimacy versus perversion.Living for moments, not targets, and taking on the ego.When are you actually being you?Incorporating fire, water, air, and earth into performance.Karin's top tip for happiness: cherish what is and stay out of the waiting room.YouTube: @mogawdatofficial  (link to this episode: youtu.be/KdVNYZhktYM)Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.comConnect with Karin Bloemen on Instagram @karin_bloemen, Facebook @BloemenKarin, and Twitter @bloemenkarinDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday.

This was an intense one for me. Stephen offered to do a “session” with me that quickly became very intense and powerful. I've experienced this on a few occasions as I've done the podcast. One time it was with Gabor Mate, and another time it was with Richard Schwartz. This experience for me was very timely, and thought provoking. I hope you enjoy it.Stephen Gyllenhaal is the founder of the Identity Development Institute whose mission is to grow a community of practitioners, researchers, and educators who are Early Trauma-informed across North America.Wounds from conception through pre-verbal development are a major cause of life-long challenges. Getting to the core of the matter allows these Early Traumas to be processed and opens space for each of us to live with more authenticity, power, and creativity.Stephen trained with Dr. Franz Ruppert and Marta Thorsheim in Oslo and Munich and facilitates ID sessions in North America as well as trains ID facilitators based on the IoPT method. He is a proud father and grandfather.For over 50 years Stephen has pursued two careers: 1) as an award-winning director of over 60 films and TV shows, including Losing Isaiah, Waterland, Homegrown, Twin Peaks, Rectify, Billions and Bosch; 2) as a “professional patient,” trying to gain clarity about his own personal issues through some form of therapy, analysis or 12 Step Program, including Cognitive Behavioral, Alderian, Attachment, Gestalt, Integrative, Jungian, Marriage and Family, Freudian and Kleinian Psychoanalysis, MPD (DID), Alanon, ACoA, SLAA and DA.He holds a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and sees himself as a fellow traveler with whomever shares the iD process with him, in either groups or in private sessions.He has come to understand that the iD process is the most powerful psychological tool he has had the privilege to encounter and is committed to making it available to everyone in North America no matter their life circumstance or personal issues.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5739761/advertisement

How much waste do we really create? Can we live in modern society in a concious manner? How do we tackle consumerism and climate grief? Laura in Waterland used to be a shoppaholic. Could you believe that? I hardly could. After some soul searching and research, she transformed her view of materialism to become a concious consumer. Now she is a driver of change and an ocean activist that reminds us every day, that little things when combined can make a difference. In this episode, we catch up with Laura (she was on episode 8) and what she has been working on for the past few years.

A keel-laying ceremony took place at Finnish shipyard Meyer Turku to officially mark the start of the revolutionary ship's physical construction, with Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku senior executives and teams in attendance.The keel laying, a longstanding maritime tradition, involved a 3,000-ton crane lifting a massive steel block that is placed into the new ship's building dock and on top of freshly minted coins, which represent the shipyard and cruise line. The coins are meant to bring luck during construction, and they will be retrieved and given to Icon's captain and crew before setting sail.Icon will set sail next year with the latest innovations and signature features Royal Caribbean's teams have imagined and reimagined in bold, new ways, including a shift toward cleaner energy. The first of three Royal Caribbean ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) – the cleanest fossil fuel available to cruise ships today. Combining LNG with a lineup of the cruise line's proven applications, such as shore power connection and waste heat recovery systems that repurpose excess energy to help power the ship's operations, Icon will be the next important step in Royal Caribbean's journey toward a clean-energy future.Signed, sealed, delivered… Celebrity Beyond.

Exactly 20 years ago – on 5 April 2002 – the first two ships in the fleet were christened A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNA in Rostock. A-ROSA celebrates the anniversary on board its ships with an A-ROSA United Event, where guests celebrate together with the crew until late at night.With the introduction of the A-ROSA brand, river cruises were offered for the first time to a younger clientele – detached from conventions, casual, active and full of highlights on board and ashore. The company has always remained true to this concept.Review of the christening of A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNAAfter a construction period of only twelve months in the Neptun Yard Rostock, the two innovative river ships A-ROSA BELLA and A-ROSA DONNA received their official names during a double christening ceremony on 5th April 2002 in Rostock's city harbour.Godmother of A-ROSA BELLA was the 18-year-old The Honourable Anna Sterling, daughter of Lord Sterling of Plaistow, Chairman of P&O Princess Cruises. A-ROSA DONNA was christened by Anja Mager, 19 years old and an office management trainee with Seetours in Rostock.After an experience ship tour and reception in the coffee house on board, the guests were invited to the dinner “La BELLA DONNA” with live entertainment in the Nikolaikirche Rostock.Immediately after the christening, the two 860-ton ships left the Rostock overseas port expertly packed and secured on a barge for the Danube delta.History of A-ROSAThe A-ROSA brand was founded in 2000 by Seetours, the German offshoot of P&O Princess Cruises. Shortly after the deployment of the first two Danube ships, the company was taken over by Deutsche Seereederei in 2003 and the Danube fleet was expanded by two more ships. The Rhône was introduced as a new trade lane in 2005, on which A-ROSA STELLA and LUNA have been cruising ever since.In 2009, the first cruises on the Rhine started and the financial investor Waterland bought A-ROSA. After three classic Rhine ships, two Rhine-Main-Danube ships were put into service in 2012 and 2014 with the A-ROSA SILVA and FLORA. In 2013, Jörg Eichler came on board as managing director and introduced the premium all-inclusive fare and family cruises with Kids Club from 2014.With the Seine, the second French cruising area was added to the portfolio in 2017. After the takeover by the British financial investor Duke Street in 2018, the A-ROSA ALVA set sail on Portugal's Douro.In the 20th anniversary year of 2022, a total of twelve A-ROSA ships will be sailing in five European destinations. In May 2022, the A-ROSA SENA, the most innovative ship in the fleet, will join them, offering more space for the A-ROSA concept – spacious balcony cabins, a dedicated Family Area with Kids Club, several restaurants and bars as well as a particularly large wellness and fitness area. Thanks to a hybrid drive system with battery storage, it is the most climate-friendly cruise ship on Europe's rivers. A-ROSA also presented its new orientation from 2023, where even more quality and individuality will be offered with a PremiumPLUS range.And more...

In this episode, Hans and Patrick patiently butcher and then discard the disappointing cuts of Chris's pick, Waterland - a novel he's sure he remembers liking, the first time he read it.

Conyers Middleton wrote three rebuttals to Waterland and Tindal. He took a middle ground approach critiquing both Tindal's optimism about a pure rule of natural law in the past and Waterland's insistence on special revelation as necessary for the incomplete revelation of natural law.

Daniel Waterland wrote a book refuting the views of Matthew Tindal. He argued that special revelation was known to all people in all times through the efforts of Israelites, Jews, and Christians so everyone had access to the necessary salvific message.

Door het aanhoudende slechte weer hebben de mannen op vogelgebied de laatste weken weinig te vieren. Daarom neemt Arjan Gisbert mee op auto-safari! Het plan is simpel: in hartje winter in een heerlijk verwarmde auto door Broek en Waterland scheuren, met speciale aandacht voor wat er langs de auto komt vliegen en in de berm zit. Een aflevering vol verassingen volgt. En dat is goed: want wat is nou het mooie aan vogels kijken, naast vogels kijken? Juist! In het onverwachte ligt de kracht van vogels kijken! Dus stap met de jongens in de auto en luister welke vogels zich ondanks het slechte weer toch even laten zien.De muziek van de Vogelspotcast is gemaakt door S10 en Sim Fane.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on The Happy Vagina Podcast we are joined by the super talented, politically charged star of Game of Thrones Lena Headey. We chat about whats changed for women in the entertainment industry, what still needs to change and celebrate the fact that today, finally - women really are supporting women.Lena Headey is an English actress, Director and Prodcuer who carved her career out of the British Independent Film World making her debut in the mystery drama Waterland aged just 17. Gaining international recognition and acclaim for her portrayal of Cersei Lannister on the HBO epic fantasy drama series Game of Thrones, for which she received five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and a Golden Globe Award nomination, today she uses her platform to speak out about injustices in the world and was a fundamental voice in sharing her story regarding Harvey Weinstein during the #MeToo exposure of predators in the industry.The Happy Vagina podcast is hosted by Mika SimmonsProduced by Pineapple Audio ProductionSupported by THV team Olivia Mervyn Smith and Amber HugginsCome find us on InstagramThis podcast was produced in association with AllBright, the leading career network for women.

(A Ben & Tom episode - prepare for bone dry humour and challenges to the absurd.) With being all at sea with what episode to do this week, A listener and old Halo acquaintance Staneth Qulisy gave me direction and supplied me with a list, including Stargate and 10,000 BC. So, as I owed him a favour after the Judge Dredd shafting, we lubricated the guiles, webbed the feet, put on our lucky shell earring, and set sail for Waterland! Waterworld! The Go-to for all your wants and needs in the late 80s and early 90s - Kevin Costner had the solution. From giving Al Capone the boot to hitting homers (more than once) you want to know who killed JFK?... ask Kev. Are you dancing with wolves? Is that a thing? It is now,  A bodyguard to the stars, and finally, Mr Costner even found time to become your post-apocalyptic postie; what did you do today? So when everyone was demanding the world needed a big-budgeted Mad Max rip-off at sea, who do you think the people ordered to take up the mantle of 'The Mariner'? Next stupid question. Accompanying Kev in the wet world is a leather-faced looking Dennis Hopper, who himself was coming off quite the diverse run of films. So here we find Den speeding around, barking orders at his brother in arms, Hulk Hogan, all whilst maintaining a 40 a day smoking habit. Mama Mia!
