...Troelstra werd in Leeuwarden op 20 april 1860 geboren. Zijn vader was een liberaal belastingontvanger. Troelstra studeerde rechten in Groningen en hij promoveerde daar in 1888. Hij vestigde zich als advocaat in Leeuwarden. In 1890 werd hij lid van de Sociaal Democratische Bond (SDB). Binnen de bond voerde hij oppositie tegen Domela Nieuwenhuis, die vast bleef houden aan het revolutionaire(en soms anarchistische) karakter van de partij. Dit was voor een groep socialistende reden om zich af te scheiden van de bond. In 1894 richt Pieter Jelles Troelstra met elf anderen de SDAP (Sociaaldemocratische Arbeiderspartij) op. In juni 1918 worden voor het eerst verkiezingen gehouden op basis van het algemeen mannenkiesrecht. De SDAP krijgt 22 zetels en blijft achter op de katholieke partij. Het rechtse kabinet-Ruijs de Beerenbrouck wordt gevormd. In november 1918 komt er een einde aan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. In Duitsland vindt een socialistische revolutie plaats en keizer Wilhelm II vlucht naar Nederland. De ineenstorting van het Duitse Keizerrijk maakt grote indruk op de Nederlandse bevolking. Er ontstaan grote sociale spanningen als gevolg van voedselschaarste, de lasten van de mobilisatie en de Spaanse griep die is uitgebroken. Deze sociale spanningen leiden ertoe dat Troelstra ervan overtuigd raakt dat Nederland klaar is voor een revolutie. Op 11 november houdt hij een rede waarin hij zijn achterban oproept zonder geweld de macht te grijpen. De Tweede Kamerfractie van de SDAP is niet...

...My art selection is The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel. The Tower of Babel is a Renaissance painting created with oil on an oak panel in 1563. Bruegal was considered the greatest Flemish Renaissance painter of the 16th century. He actually painted The Tower three times. The first painting was smaller and is now lost. The second painting was created on a panel in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The third painting was a bit smaller and is now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningon in Rotterdam. Bruegel was born in 1525 in the Duchy of Brabant and moved to Antwerp in 1542 to become an artist’s apprentice. He visited Rome from 1552-1554. He traveled through the Alps which may have inspired his landscaped style of painting. After working in Antwerp for 10 years he moved to Brussels in 1563 and died in 1569. Bruegal has about 45 paintings that have survived, of which one third of are at Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The Tower of Babel painting is beautiful with all its detail. The background is sky blue with fluffy white clouds. In the distance are green grassy plains with a few small hills. To the left is a small town full of houses of all shapes and sizes. To the right is a body of water with many different types of watercraft. To the front is a king leading his people. The king has a few citizens bowing to him, but all others are working hard on the construction of the tower. Bruegel has painted many trades of skill working along...

...There are two ways that The Fall Of Icarus is portrayed. The poem Musee des Beaux Arts by W.H. Auden and the painting Landscape with the fall of icarus by Pieter Breughel both use the greek myth about the fall of Icarus as their subject however, both works treat the subject quite differently. Some details that Auden uses in his poem to describe the fall of icarus are a large splash, in lines 15 and 16 “The ploughman may have heard the splash, the forsaken cry” Also uses details such as “The sun shone as it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green water” and states that the ploughman turned his head in disinterest because it was not a concern of his. Auden mentions how everything turns away quite leisurely from the disaster, supporting the idea of it being human nature for people not to care about other’s misery unless it were to be happening to them or effecting their life in some way. In Landscape with the fall of icarus many details differ from Auden’s poem. For example there is no horse in the painting as there is in lines 12-13 “The torturer’s horse scratches its innocent behind on a tree” Also in Auden’s poem there are dogs going on with their doggy life but in the painting there are no dogs. In Auden’s poem he states “ there always must be children who did not specially want it to happen, skating on a pond at the edge of the wood” In the painting there isn’t a pond for the children to skate on nor are there any children. Overall the central idea...

...The Pieter Claesen Wyckoff house is one of many New York City's oldest Dutch Colonial houses that still standing in the Hudson area that dates over 400 years old. Pieter Claesen house was built in 1652 during the Dutch colonial period and it's specific location is 5816 Clarendon road in Brooklyn.

...set in Apartheid South Africa, analyzes this dilemma through the story of Pieter van Vlaanderen, a white South African police lieutenant, who must battle the criticism of a stringent community, his family, and his own perception of morality. As a lieutenant and a star rugby player, Pieter is a well-respected member of his society, yet he begins to have sexual relations with a young, black girl named Stephanie, in direct violation of the Immorality Act of 1927. Pieter is a family man who cheats on his wife, and a police lieutenant who breaks the law. One would think that the reader would have no sympathy for Pieter—in fact, it is quite the opposite. Through Pieter’s “social death,” Paton garners sympathy for Pieter’s tragedy, and ultimately unveils the repressed society as the “tragic figure,” thus conveying a more universal political message. Paton uses this compassion as a vessel to expose and criticize an unjust society, in which an affair of the heart can result in imprisonment. Through displaying Pieter’s inner-turmoil, Paton weaves a portrait of a troubled and alone Pieter who needs support and intimacy to avoid his self-destruction. Sophie, Pieter’s aunt and the story’s narrator, begins the novel saying, “[p]erhaps I could have saved him, with only a word, two words, out of my mouth” (9). Although the reader has no personal connection with either Sophie or Pieter, the narrator portrays Pieter in a positive light and evokes immediate sympathy in the reader. Recounting...

We onderscheiden het begrip ‘inkoop’ op drie manieren x Als organisatievorm (inkoopafdeling); x Als de aanschaf zelf: het aangeschafte product (goederen of diensten); x Als functie (inkoper) Waar inkoop vroeger nog door iedereen gedaan kon worden, zijn anno 2011 bedrijfsprocessen gecompliceerder en is inkoop een volwaardig bedrijfsaspect geworden. Inkoop moet zorgdragen voor de volgende zaken: x Actief participeren in het vinden van leveranciers; x Minimaliseren van de kwetsbaarheid ten opzichte van leveranciers, afnemers en concurrenten; x Dat leveranciers een meerwaarde opleveren. De belangrijkste ontwikkelingen waarmee rekening moet worden gehouden: x Duurzaam ondernemen wordt belangrijker x Snelle ontwikkeling van technologie x Datacommunicatie biedt mogelijkheden x Marktontwikkelingen x Toenemende druk om voorraden te verkleinen We onderscheiden inkoop op drie niveaus: x Operationeel: het proces zelf x Tactisch: beheersing van een bestand van leveranciers x Strategisch: vertaling van bedrijfsstrategie naar inkoopstrategie Tabel 1.1...

...CASE: TROPHY PROJECT 1.1 Executive Summary Executive leaders are the guardians of an organisation’s preferred culture and behaviour, however this is not evident in this organisation, There is clearly no mutual respect for employees’ rights and support from top-level management as people are intimidated and threatened if they do not deliver results. The organizations behavioural strategy needs to transform from a bureaucratic to a learning organisation where employees operate in high performance teams and where good communication and free flow of information flourish (Pieter Steyn & Erik Schmikl, Pg 112 – Pg 113). The organisation does not address any sort of training, employee development, relationships with customers and other factors bearing on quality. Instead it focuses on mistakes and condemns them instead of viewing them as opportunities for growth and learning. Top leadership failed by not providing a culture of trust, support, cohesion and lacked motivational leadership. Arbitrary induction of methodologies believing it would solve the absence of management acumen. The project manager found himself in an activity trap; he spent more time preparing paperwork, reports and projection, which was needed for his weekly meeting with the corporate, instead of managing the project. (Harold Kerzner, Ph.D. Project Management A System Approach to Planning Scheduling and Controlling, Pg 265) In order to resolve some of these inherent problems, we propose the organisation consider...

...Feature Article Forbidden Love The novel Girl with a Pearl Earring should definitely be included on the Novel Ideas book club reading list. Elyshia Hickey reveals why this fascinating, historical and romantic story will appeal to an adolescent audience, as it explores the theme of sensual awakening. Set in 17th century Delft, Chevalier’s novel explores the deep but forbidden love between a young maid and her master. The author’s clever combination of an intriguing story, remarkable characters and descriptive language allowed her to explore the themes of forbidden love, predators and sexual desires. For hundreds of years people have wondered who is the girl in the portrait Girl with a Pearl Earring, painted by a Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in the 17th century and what is the connection between them. This fictional love story by Chevalier explores the sensual relationship between the young lady and the painter. Griet, a seventeen year old girl, narrated the story of her life experiences in the 1600’s, as she transformed from a young girl into a married woman. The narrative structure will appeal to a young adult audience as they will be able to relate to many of Griet’s experiences, especially the encounters she had with men. She was hired as a maid by a rich and famous painter, to help her impoverished family. Vermeer allowed her the privilege of working as his assistant in the studio, which caused much turmoil with his wife. This tension between the characters reads...

I intend to show you The difference between casual drinking and the disease known worldwide as alcoholism.

Show different ways in dealing with the problem of alcoholism, and show that it doesvnot matter race, financial situation, or even religion. The issue of how to prevent drinking in teenagers is critical. One study found that by The age Of 15, about 34 percentage of boys and 24 percentage of girls drank alcohol on a weekly 4 basis. Other studies have shown drinking at a young age is more likely to set a person up for a drinking disorder later in life. A study from the Netherlands found that a laid back attitude from parents can lead to drinking issues in their teens, whereas strict parental rules about drinking can curb adolescent impulses to drink. Adolescents, with their partially-matured brains, are more swayed by impulses than rational thoughts, which is why they’re more likely...

...Born: October 30, 1632 Delft, Netherlands Died: December 15, 1675 Delft, Netherlands Jan Vermeer, the greatest of all Dutch genre painters, lived and worked in his native town of Delft. The most likely candidate to have been his master is the history painter Leonaert Bramer, who testified to Vermeer’s character at the time of his betrothal, but the artist’s early work shows no trace of Bramer’s influence. Vermeer’s earliest dated painting, The Procuress of 1656 (now in Dresden), shows that he was familiar with the work of Utrecht followers of Caravaggio. This painting, also in Dresden, was painted shortly after The Procuress and its style is closely related to it, with its broad handling of paint, deep shadows and rich, saturated colors. The subject – a glimpse into the corner of a room where a young woman is totally absorbed in reading a letter – is quite unlike those painted by the Caravaggisti. Vermeer emphasizes the sense of our entering a private world by placing an illusionistic curtain on a rail in front of the scene. It was quite usual in Holland in the seventeenth century to protect paintings from sunlight and dust with such curtains. X-rays have revealed that the curtain was not part of Vermeer’s original design. They also reveal that Vermeer made a number of other changes. He originally included a large painting of a standing Cupid hanging on the back wall, which would have suggested that it is a love letter that the girl reads. In the event he suppressed that...

...In both “Musee des Beaux Arts” and Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by W.H. Auden, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, it is evident that Icarus although supposedly being the main subject of the two mediums lack the elements that makes it stands out. Foremost, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, is a painting that depicts the fall for Icarus; however, as seen in the painting the only body part visible to the viewers’ eyes are Icarus’ tiny legs peeping out of the water. Due to how tiny his legs are drawn, it takes away the important role Icarus plays in the painting. Not only that, Icarus appears at the corner of the painting instead of the center of the masterpiece. Usually the subject of a painting tend to appears in...

...compute Traditional Costing and Activity Based Costing (ABC). Based on the information provided, The Hampshire Company should use Activity Based Costing. Activity Based Costing improves a costing system by identifying individual activities as fundamental cost objects. “The development of an ABC costing methodology could typically be analyzed with focus on the following phases: 1. The determination of the significant operational activities. 2. The identification and collection of costs specific to each of these activities. 3. The identification of the cost drivers for each of these activities. 4. The determination of the activity unit costs. 5. The allocation of the costs to the cost objects based on the activity consumption (Buys, Pieter, Green, Kevin)”. It should be understood that an ABC system is not intended to replace the general ledger, but to be viewed as a tool to translate the general ledger. The Activity Based Costing system will identify activities (things the company does) of the value chain, calculate the individual costs of activities, and assign costs to cost objects. The activity-based technique will reach its full potential when it has expanded from Activity Based Costing to Activity Based Management. When looking to adopt the Activity Based Costing system, The Hampshire Company will need identify the activities the company performs. Identifying activities can be difficult and they will need to evaluate the tasks performed and decide which tasks will...
