getaway The Brussels Times reported that Sekkaki and four other men made their break from Turnhout on December 19 The group climbed over the prison's exterior wall and got into a getaway car that was waiting in a nearby street Three of the escapees were recaptured the next day while a fourth enjoyed freedom until early January and the first sign of him came when a letter arrived at Turnhout on Monday The envelope contained Sekkaki's prison badge as well as a card with the message "Greetings from Thailand" on it It is uncertain whether the missive was actually sent from Thailand Sekkaki was arrested in January 2017 after police pulled his car over on the A12 road A search of his vehicle revealed 25,000 ecstasy pills Sekaki was already wanted for questioning in a previous shooting incident He was convicted and given a two-year sentence Sekkaki had additional motivation for fleeing prison He was wanted in his home country of Morocco in conjunction with a large drug ring and he was awaiting a decision on whether he would be returned there to face trial while he was imprisoned at Turnhout Getting out of prison runs in Sekkaki's family His older brother Ashraf is notorious for his daring escapes Ashraf Sekkaki's most notorious escape came in 2009 when accomplices hijacked a sightseeing helicopter with a pistol and forced the pilot to land in the courtyard of a prison outside of Bruges It picked up Ashraf Sekkaki and two other prisoners and one of the accomplices was left behind at the prison because the total load was too heavy to take off The helicopter landed in the nearby town of Aalter robbed a service station and headed for the coast Ashraf Sekkaki was recaptured in his native Morocco two weeks later Ashraf remains in prison in Morocco serving a 12-year sentence where Belgian police believe he continues to operate his drug ring is also believed to be involved in the criminal enterprise Prison guards immediately passed Oualid Sekkaki's postcard on to

Renaissance by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the poetry of Giannantonio Campano it addresses two themes largely overlooked by modern scholarship Independent journalism at the University of Twente Professor Esther Turnhout (1972) is the new chair of the Section of Science Technology and Policy Studies (STePS) of the University of Twente she wants to tackle topics of sustainability but she also wants to explore how science could be improved overall Professor Turnhout: ‘At the core of my work has always been the desire to improve relationships between science and policy and society but I didn’t only want to produce scientific knowledge I wanted the knowledge to be relevant and useful for nature conservation I found out that a lot of knowledge exists I wondered why and was able to change my research topic to this very question: Why isn’t the existing scientific knowledge being used I’ve learnt that it is not only about policy makers not using science Some scientific experts actually seem to have too much power and influence in certain fields which brings up the question of legitimacy of science.’ Esther Turnhout has held the position of professor at the University of Twente since September 2021 Technology and Society at the Section of Science Technology and Policy Studies (STePS) at the BMS Faculty she spent eighteen years at the Wageningen University since 2016 as Professor in 'The Politics of Environmental Knowledge' at the Forest and Nature Conservation Policy Group Professor Turnhout is an interdisciplinary social scientist with expertise in science and technology studies Much of her research focuses on biodiversity science and governance She plays several active roles in the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and was an author of the IPBES Global Assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services that was launched in 2019 most of my work is related to biodiversity and nature conservation but my focus has shifted more towards global processes and broader sustainability questions it is part of a larger sustainability crisis – together with climate change I was a member of NJN (Dutch Youth Association for Nature Study) and spent a lot of time outdoors I saw nature deteriorating and I was concerned and I realized nature is under threat That is why I refocused to global sustainability questions.’ ‘The focus on broader sustainability questions but the position at the UT gives me a much broader scope I’m also looking forward to working with other scholars who also focus on the intersection of science ‘I’ve become interested in the notion of global transformation but how can science and technology better support this change We need to change how science is done and governed I want to find out what is needed to achieve that I’d like to continue research related to biodiversity and the use of technology in sustainability science I first want to build connections and get to know Twente.’ There is this a fear among scientists that they will be seen to be political This hampers productive relations between science science has the tendency to separate itself to stay out of political and societal problems in order to secure their authority and independence This attitude – in my opinion – is a problem It leads to practices that interfere with transparency There are other obstacles as well; institutional obstacles like funding and scientific focus on production of articles rather than on building relationships.’ ‘I want to start building a university that provides a fostering environment for a diversity of scientists and career paths I’d like to see more appreciation for this diversity in skills If you want to change the way science is done I feel there is interest and potential for that here in Twente Waarom mogen alleen hoogleraren zichzelf professor noemen de toga dragen en de doctorstitel verlenen Ook universitair docenten en hoofddocenten moeten dat recht

influential figure in the field of climate change adaptation a government official in South Africa and one of the Co-Chairs of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); but what truly illustrates the person she is is her reaction to receiving the honorary doctorate at the UT ‘This honorary degree should go to my parents.’ Debra Roberts (1961) kan op vele manieren beschreven worden Ze is gezaghebbend op het gebied van klimaatadaptatie werkt voor de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering en is een van de vicevoorzitters van het Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is haar reactie op het eredoctoraat dat haar werd toegekend door de UT ‘Dit eredoctoraat zou eigenlijk naar mijn ouders moeten gaan.’ Tweedejaars bachelor Sophie Weening (19) houdt de teugels van haar leven strak in

mijn ouders?’ Second-year bachelor's student Sophie Weening (19) keeps a tight grip on the reins of her life: in addition to her studies in international business administration she spends almost

Staff were told about the savings target in April — despite uni bosses knowing about it since last November The news was included in a bombshell announcement by acting vice-chancellor Helen Nicholson who said a total of $60 million had to be slashed from her operating budget to get the university out of the red and have a healthy surplus to support its large The university’s financial review to the end of April 2023 says $12 million out of the $25 million savings required are "still to be identified" and "the delivery of the target is at risk" The university has previously told the ODT that most of the savings already achieved are "temporary" and the university does not expect to get out of the red either this year or next The latest projection is nearly double the $12.4 million deficit agreed by the University Council last November The university blames the further slides on lower-than-anticipated student numbers The end-of-year deficit is contingent on the $25 million savings target being achieved The $12 million savings still to be found are expected to include staff cuts said $12.8 million was being sought in savings to salaries and in April Prof Nicholson said a few hundred roles were likely to go there is still no news about how many staff have applied for voluntary redundancy nearly three weeks after the application deadline The voluntary redundancy call is the second in 18 months — in early 2022 103 jobs were slashed through voluntary redundancies In an all-staff meeting earlier this month Prof Nicholson said cutting back on building use was preferable to losing staff saying "the take-home message is we would much rather lose space than staff" the university is conducting "management of change" exercises within departments which is expected to result in redundancies The university’s latest finances show a slowdown of capital expenditure as the university tries to constrain its spending on new and refurbished buildings — to reduce risk to its liquidity the university spent $20.9 million on building works — only 12% of the $168.6 million it had budgeted to spend in 2023 The redesign of the food science Gregory Building was "temporarily paused" that it expects to be borrowing within weeks to fund its building works — which include urgent remedial building code work This will be the first time the university has been in debt in living history except for two weeks in December 2022 mary.williams@odt.co.nz The board of the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN) has appointed Jillian van Turnhout to carry out a comprehensive review of the organisation It comes just a day after its chairperson, Kieran Rose, resigned The group is facing questions over funding and is potencially facing a review by the Charities Regulator The non-governmental organisation made a voluntary disclosure to the regulator amid queries over a number of issues These include the use of funds for non-GLEN political campaigns and the use of company credit cards for private purposes Concerns were brought to the attention of the regulator by the group's CEO Ms van Turnhout has a wide range of experience of governance of not-for-profit organisations She will begin her work on Monday April 24th and report to the board within a period of six weeks GLEN say her initial work will focus on advising the board on corporate governance and compliance issues She will also advise the board on strategic decisions regarding the future of GLEN - as well as engaging with staff stakeholders and board members before making recommendations The board has asked Ms van Turnhout to review compliance with Charities Regulations and advise on how to ensure compliance the board has engaged an independent financial consultant to review the organisation's financial administration saying: "We are delighted that Jillian has agreed to act as a consultant and to work with the board at this time "We look forward to building on work which we had commenced in reforming corporate governance structures "GLEN has a proud history spanning three decades In celebrating that legacy we also need to develop a strategy for the future."

Turnhout admits some experts frown on people spending that long in freezing water "but there’s a bigger killer out there" "and I don’t think it’s going to be ice water" He started a Givealittle page on Saturday, and will make daily reports about his challenge on the Facebook page YourOptimumCondition He picked up the glasses because Bain complained of not being able to see and asked for his glasses Detective Terry van Turnhout told a jury in the High Court at Christchurch yesterday so he immediately put the glasses back on the chair But when a senior officer came into the bedroom and asked if anything had been touched Under cross-examination by defence counsel Paul Morten the officer said in the 15 years since the shootings at the Every St house he had not mentioned until last weekend that he had picked up then replaced the glasses "I didn't know what their significance was," Det van Turnhout said And he said he had no idea the glasses would later become significant "I was concerned about being criticised later Det van Turnhout was assigned to stay with David Bain and note anything he said or did while in his bedroom and after he was removed from the house on a carry chair about 10.30am and taken to the police station The witness said he arrived at the house at 8.03am and took over from another police officer who was in the bedroom with Bain and two ambulance officers When he first saw Bain lying on the floor at the foot of a double bed covered with several blankets including a thermal type aluminium survival blanket he initially thought Bain was in shock as he was very pale and saying nothing But his breathing appeared normal and his eyes were sometimes open Bain said he had to get up and go to university Bain may have sat up at that point - "I thought he was in a daze" The lighting in the room was poor but he could see a rifle cover with its zip half-open on the wall He also saw an ammunition belt containing .22 calibre rounds a number of loose rounds on the floor and a trigger lock with a key in one half The bedroom was "cluttered" with tramping packs he could see directly into a lounge room across the hallway There was a man's body on floor and a .22 calibre rifle with silencer on the floor Bain complained about a pain in his head that felt like a bruise and the witness said he was able to see a bruise about the size of a 50c piece on the right side of his forehead Asked if he had noticed anything about Bain's clothing - a white T-shirt black shorts and white sports socks - Det van Turnhout said he had not but after one of the ambulance officers drew something to his attention he saw a small spot of blood on one of the socks he heard Bain saying "black hands are coming to get me" He said nothing else but he appeared distressed and disturbed An ambulance officer brought hot packs and several blankets for Bain and soon afterwards Bain's eyes were open and he was looking about Having seen a pair of glasses on a chair Det van Turnhout picked them up before immediately replacing them when he realised the room was a crime scene He told Bain they would get his glasses later He then noticed there were no lenses in the frames and there was one lens on the seat of the chair Bain was removed from the house at 10.20am and taken to the police station where he was interviewed by Detective Sergeant Greg Dunne the accused asked for a pair of sunglasses and pointed to the right side of his forehead Some time later he asked if he was going to be held up for long at the police station as he was in a play and had been rehearsing During the time he was with him at the house but he agreed he had not raised the matter as it was not his job to do so and he did not want to distress the young man Queenstown personal trainer Paddy Turnhout — wearing just his togs — is going to spend a minute in an ice bath He’ll then increase that by a minute every single day till he goes in for 23 minutes on the day of his 23rd birthday His personal training colleague Chaz Monaghan says: ‘‘This will be a huge mental challenge for him and will create empathy for the thousands of Kiwis who are mentally struggling right now.’’ Turnhout admits some experts frown on people spending that long in freezing water ‘‘but there’s a bigger killer out there’’ ‘‘and I don’t think it’s going to be ice water.’’ and will report each day on his challenge on Facebook page John Van Turnhout (44) is now resting in Dunedin Hospital waiting for an operation to repair the leg and ankle bones he broke in a fall on the Horace Walker Glacier between Mt Cook and the West Coast settlement of Karangarua flew in to the Horace Walker hut (altitude 960m) last Friday and on Monday he and Marty Mr Van Turnhout said the glacier was generally easy walking "It's steep but it's just one big sheet of ice." The trip had become an "annual pilgrimage" and was timed to coincide with the "rut" of the bull tahr They shot three tahr and as they were walking back to the hut in the afternoon Mr Van Turnhout slipped and slid about 5m down an ice chute breaking his right leg - his "good leg" - in the process the pair decided their best option was to walk the 4km or so back to the hut "It's not the sort of place you want to camp out because you will die out there." The first obstacle was the 50m drop from the side of the glacier to the "rock garden" running alongside the glacier The pair linked themselves together with the rope down the icewall two painful metres at a time the pair set out for the bottom of the glacier moving through 2km of boulders - some as big as houses "I walked on my arms and my legs and with my ice axe Marty Van Turnhout said the walk had involved four and a-half hours of "teeth-grinding pain" for Mr Van Turnhout limped and hopped his way down through the rocks." they had a kilometre or two of flat land to cross before arriving at a big slip before the hut They were able to use their radios to contact Syd who helped carry Mr Van Turnhout (70kg) the final 500m or so to the hut where they used a mountain radio to call a helicopter the hunters had tried to devise a splint from their ice axes but that had failed and the axes became makeshift crutches Mr Van Turnhout described Marty as "bloody marvellous" He expects his leg to take at least four months to heal but the ultra-keen hunters plan to return to the Horace Walker glacier to hunt tahr again next Queen's Birthday • The Horace Walker hut was the refuge sought by Middlemarch man Mathew Briggs and his dog after he had spent eight days in the bush in March with a suspected broken ankle r Briggs fell down a 5m bluff on to rocks and spent two days walking to the hut using crutches made from tent poles - mark.price@odt.co.nz
