Dutch Roman Catholic priest Jacques Clemens Died at 108
Jacques Clemens was born on 11 July 1909 and died on 7 March 2018. He was a Dutch Catholic priest. He was the parish priest of The Bultia Ham-sur-Heure-Nalinnes, Belgium from 1958. Between 2016 and his death on 7 March 2018 at the age of 108 he was thought to be the oldest living priest. Jacques Clemens was born on 11 July 1909 in The Hague, Netherlands. After his novitiate and studies in philosophy, he studied theology at the major seminary in Liège and was ordained a priest in Liège Cathedral on 5 July 1936. He was a teacher at the Seminar of Gerpinnes now St. Augustine College. In 1944 Clemens was appointed Vicar of Ham-sur-Heure-Nalinnes south of Charleroi and Chaplain at The Bultia, a hamlet in the village without its own place of worship. The Church of Saint-Benoît was completed in 1957 and on 1 January 1958 Clemens officially became the first parish priest of the new parish, remaining there for 67 years. Clemens's health deteriorated following a fall at the age of 102 and he decided to reduce his activities. He retired in 2015 but continued to provide religious services on Sundays. He celebrated his 108th birthday on 11 July 2017. He died at 108 years old.

The Augustinian Family • Abbeys and Monasteries
August of Hippo (354-430) founded the first monastery on the African continent but never founded the order named after him. It took until the Middle Ages before his writings were spread over Western Europe. From then on his rules were followed by a great number of new foundations. The foundation of the monastery of Marienhage in Eindhoven goes back to 1419 when a number of civilians decided to live together following the rule of St.August. The Sint-Trudo monastery of nuns in Male (near Brugge) is one of the seven survivors of its order.

Het is druk tijdens Glow in Eindhoven maar evenement verlengen is simpelweg te duur
EINDHOVEN - Acht dagen gloeit Eindhoven dankzij Glow. Dat mag van bezoekers best wel wat langer. Volgens de organisatie is het onhaalbaar. Te duur en een te grote belasting op de verkeersdruk.
Gewoon wat vroeger op de avond beginnen of de duur van Glow met een paar dagen verlengen. Veel bezoekers van het Eindhovense lichtfestival zien het als dé oplossing om de grote drukte op de route wat beter te spreiden, zo blijkt uit een korte enquête van deze krant. Volgens de organisatie is het geen haalbare kaart. Eerder dan 18.30 uur starten zou volgens een woordvoerder te grote problemen op de weg geven. ,,Dan moeten we wegen nog vroeger afsluiten en dat zorgt voor grote opstoppingen voor het woon-werkverkeer.” Ook het verlengen van Glow is volgens de organisatie onderzocht. ,,Helaas blijkt dat financieel niet haalbaar.”
Zee van zonnebloemen
De enquête werd ingevuld door zo'n honderd bezoekers van Glow. De meeste reacties zijn overwegend positief en gemiddeld geven bezoekers Glow een 7,5 als rapportcijfer. Met uitschieters naar een drie (eenheidsworst) tot een tien (prachtig en divers). De zee van zonnebloemen op het Lichtplein en de lichtprojectie op de Witte Dame worden vaak genoemd als hoogtepunten van de veertiende editie. Druk is het wel, vinden veel bezoekers. Een meerderheid vindt het op de route drukker of zelfs veel drukker dan eerdere jaren. Lastig met jonge kinderen, zo klinkt het ook. Het invoeren van een kinderuurtje zonder harde muziek wordt een aantal keer aangedragen als suggestie.
Lof krijgt de organisatie voor de vernieuwing en afwisseling van spektakel met kleine lichtkunst. De eerder genoemde drukte hoort volgens veel bezoekers ook een beetje bij Glow. Volgens de organisatie is er ten alle tijde contact met medewerkers op de route. En bijvoorbeeld met de beveiliging van winkelcentrum Heuvel. Een van de plekken die veel genoemd wordt als té druk. ,,We hebben daar zelf ook medewerkers die indien nodig een alternatieve route aanwijzen”, aldus de woordvoerder. ,,Ook hebben we de route vooraf besproken met het Platform Gehandicapten Eindhoven.”
Verrassen
Dat er soms erg veel afstand tussen lichtprojecten zit, vindt de organisatie zelf ook. ,,Dat is voor ons een evaluatiepunt voor de editie van volgend jaar. Aan de andere kant, juist de ruimte tussen projecten zorgt ervoor dat bezoekers iedere keer weer verrast worden. Je slaat een hoek om en ziet weer iets nieuws.” Glow duurt nog tot en met komende zaterdag.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

At the age of eighteen, he went to the Netherlands (Maastricht & Rotterdam) to continue his musical studies : orchestral conducting with Sir Jan Stulen and classical guitar with Cees Dirkx. After three years, he finished his guitar studies as a teaching and performing musician.
In June 2000, he conducted the Dutch première of Previns « Concerto for guitar and orchestra ». In September 2000, he also assisted his present teacher Jan Stulen in « Le jongleur the Notre-Dame », a church opera of Peter Maxwell Davies which was broadcasted by the Dutch radio and television.
Tom joined in July 2001 the Wiener Meisterkurse with Sir Salvador Mas Conde. There he was one of the few applicants to conduct the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra (Bulgaria) at the final concert in Vienna.
One year later, he conducted the Orquestra Sinfónica del Vallès in Barcelona during the International Conducting Course Igualada with maestro Antoni Ros Marba (July 2002).
In August 2002, Tom made his debut with the Brabant Orchestra (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) conducting the Franck Symphony during the final concert of a masterclass with maestro Marc Soustrot. A year later, he conducted this orchestra for a second time in a Beethoven program.

In april 2004 he founded the Mechels Chamber Orchestra. It is a semi-professional orchestra of 35 musicians. In a short time, Tom raised this orchestra into a high level. Many international soloists as André De Groote (piano), Luc Tooten (cello), Marc Tooten (viola), Olsi Leka (cello), Jean-Luc Votano (clarinet), etc, have been working together with the orchestra and praised the orchestra for their enthousiasm and precise playing.
In august 2007 Tom made his first CD recording in Slovak Republic.

For this opportunity, Tom conducted the Slovak State Chamber Orchestra of Zilina.

Was asked to look at the WJXT Web Cam on top of the East Bell Tower at Flagler College. Decided to grab a quick video from the tower. This is the view over looking St. Augustine.
