Roy op het Veld De strijd om energie
hoe de groeiende honger naar olie en gas de wereld in een crisis stort
De wereld loopt langzaam maar zeker vast in een sluipende energiecrisis. Door de snelle en aanhoudende economische groei van China en India stijgt de vraag naar energie. Tegelijkertijd ziet het Westen zijn eigen olie- en gasreserves snel teruglopen. Daardoor wordt het steeds afhankelijker van het Midden-Oosten en landen als Rusland en Venezuela. De eens zo dominante oliereuzen als Shell en ExxonMobil verliezen terrein aan staatsenergiemaatschappijen als Saudi Aramco en Gazprom. Zo langzamerhand krijgen...

Patrick Develtere | Huib Huyse | Jan Van Ongevalle International development cooperation today
a radical shift towards a global paradigm
Over the past 60 years high-income countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid. With varying degrees of success, these investments in low-income countries contributed to tackling structural problems such as access to water, health care, and education. Today, however, international development cooperation is no longer restricted to helping by giving. Instead, it is rather about opportunities, mutual interests, risk taking, and an inclusive societal approach. With the arrival...

Henny Bos If criticism hurts
(or a blessing in disguise)
We all get criticized. That's part of life. Parents, partners, friends, haters, strangers, they all have an opinion on what you do, what you don't do, and what you should do. But if the critique hurts and leads to anger or sadness, it means you are a victim of two unexpected enemies: your ego and your inner critic. If you want to be free from the pain of judgment, you need to say goodbye to your ego and welcome your true Self, the authentic and unique person that you are. Henny Bos links personal...
