THE self invented saying goes like this: “old journalists never die, they don’t fade away either”. I for one would still like to take up new ventures. As it happens, some health problems took me to the world of health care. That in itself is quite revealing. In short this: those working in the field should be praised for their efforts. The policymakers should monitor real practices before developing the next series of regulations that merely hamper smooth runing operations. In the meantime I’ve discovered the benefits of attending online meetings, and doing interviews. Acting as an individual speech coach in English is a pleasure as well. Please go to https://vimeo.com/478448481  Janny’s Presentation to hear more.All that provides an impression about my services. Also go to www.vandaagenmorgen.nl to find my Dutch contributions as a columnist and as a book reviewer.

The familiar socials provide an idea about my activities. Among them are LinkedIn.com, Facebook.com and Instagram.com. My thoughts about policymaking and other subjects can be read in other publications. In the mean time I wonder whether it is beneficial to apply to vacansies on LinikedIn. Those recruiting appear to find it too much trouble to respond once they have found the proper candidate.

And also . . .it still is fun to watch my update half Dutch/half English (or Double Dutch as the case may be). https://youtu.be/JAtD7bN-o-M and also this advert, just for fun. It shows the double Dutch of the one and the proper English of the native speaker.
