In 4 phases I wish to illustrate how one can handle the stress, ambiguity of information and the change in life’s priorities which a cancer patient will face. My approach has been to accept temporary and permanent change with a positive mindset, never to stick to trusted habits but instead adopt a new lifestyle whenever my physical state required it.

I have identified 4 phases which can be initially observed sequentially. However treatments may suddenly stop working due to aggressive nature...

BARENDS&PIJNAPPEL PHOTO COLLECTION #2 is een indrukwekkende aanvulling op het al even indrukwekkende eerste deel.

Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘w...

This book is about integral organizing. Organizations face major challenges in terms of innovation, customer

focus, flexibility, productivity, and finding and retaining talent. Technical innovations in and of themselves can

only address such challenges to a limited extent. Attention to culture and behaviour, in and of itself, also has its

limitations. Social innovation relates to the integral development and renewal of the organisation. Many organizations,

however, are based on persistent bur...

Mankind is created in the image and likeness of God for the purpose of sharing in the Divine Life and participating in the blessedness of the infinite glory and goodness of the Holy Trinity.

Communion with God is attained through the cooperation of the divine and human will, whereby the follower of Jesus Christ puts on Christ through the sacraments of the Church and imitates the life...

Think of nature and you’re likely to picture a forest, not a freeway. But how natural is nature really? We live in a world of constructed wildlife reserves, rainbow tulips, designer babies and cultured meat. We control a tomato’s biology so precisely, you can hardly call it natural anymore. Meanwhile, our grip on the Internet and the financial markets has grown so slight that they’re coming to resemble forces of nature.

Using countless well-known examples and scientific insights, Koert ...
