...izložba Aprilski Salon 2012 je jedinstvenog tipa, jer prvenstveno okuplja naše poznate bosanskohercegovačke umjetnike koji dolaze iz Udruženja ZDO kantona, koje je podružnica ULUBiH-a. Samom tom činjenicom smo svjesni koliko različitom, a ipak u nekim segmentima i sličnom formom i stilom vladaju naši umjetnici. Po mišljenju Oscara Wilde-a: ‘Umjetnik je kreator lijepih stvari’, pa zasigurno možemo reći da sve što ova izložba daje sigurno spada pod pojmom “lijepog” ali i samo to je individualno kao i stilovi i tematika koja nam se predstavlja na izložbi. Rado ostavljam samog posmatrača da napravi svoj dojam izložbe i radova kroz moju malu pomoć koja slijedi. Svako od djela ima svoj intezitet i jačinu, koja privlači oko posmatrača i ulazi u dubine umjetničke kreacije. Ova grupa umjetnika se izražava kroz više umjetničkih formi i žanrova u svom slikarstvu kao što su crtež, grafika, neki pejzaž, apstrakcija i portret. Tematika same izložbe, kao i njen stilski i konceptualni sadržaj je dosta raznovrstan. Generalno govoreći, većina umjetnika radi sa dozom apstrakcije tj. kompozicije koja postoji nezavisno od vizualnih elemenata u realističkom svijetu. Djela mogu da predstavljaju odlazak od realnosti, da li to bilo malo, djelimično ili u potpunosti, zavisi od posmatrača. Njihova djela su oličenja i daju naznake pokreta Fuvista, koji koriste jake boje iznad realističnih prikaza. Mi smo svjedoci umjetničkih djela koja prave most između realnog i nadrealnog, između prošlosti, sadašnjosti...

...Works that have stood the tests of time, such as canonical texts like Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, have proven themselves influential over and over again in every field of the arts. They have impacted and altered the course of history and set the bar for other great works of fiction and have even inspired other worlds entirely; moreover, Stevenson’s and Wilde’s work have had a conscious and subconscious effect upon such successful work as Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho, and even Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Batman which has a story that spans over decades. The dualities that appear in Stevenson’s and Wilde’s work pay tribute to mans’ opposing, and even conflicting, nature that rage inside them. On one hand you have the desire to be an outstanding moral citizen, while on the other you have the desire to give in to your more primal inclinations. In Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, who heard his friend’s hedonistic world view, decides that beauty is the only aspect of life pursuing and wishes that his self-portrait would age instead of himself. After breaking the heart of his first love, he discovers that his wish has been granted. His portrait begins to age instead of him and also changes and alters itself based on the moral choices Dorian makes. When he leaves his first love, Dorian notices that there appears a sneer of cruelty on his portrait that wasn’t...

...Management and Social Issues A Spatiotemporal Approach to Managing Utility Work Schedules Chien-Cheng Chou1, Yi-Ping Chen2 and Chien-Ming Chiu2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan; PH: 886-34227151 ext.34132; FAX: 886-34252960; e-mail: ccchou@cc.ncu.edu.tw 2Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Civil Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan Abstract As more and more utility installation and/or maintenance activities are located in highly congested urban roadways, frequent pavement utility cuts in such areas may cause more traffic disruption as well as deteriorate pavement life and quality. Utility owners normally need to obtain permits from public road authorities before commencing utility activities; however, public road authorities in Taiwan currently just issue permits without trying to coordinate and communicate with utility owners involved to schedule their utility-related activities in a more consecutive way. An information model based on the spatiotemporal objects database technique was proposed to help public road authorities identify the utility activities that might be combined together to avoid unnecessary pavement utility cuts. In the proposed model, constraints pertaining to pavement moratorium, utility clearance distance and traffic conditions were considered. The software architecture is discussed, followed by research conclusions. Keywords: Pavement, Utility cut, Utility permit,...

Onze klanten zijn mensen van 60+ die zo’n 2 à 3 keer per jaar een dagje weg of op vakantie gaan. Deze tripjes zijn meestal naar de landen vlak om ons heen, Duitsland, België en Luxemburg. De tripjes bevatten veel cultuur en natuur en er is altijd een gids aanwezig die interessante feiten weet te vertellen. De doelgroep is niet heel fit meer en heeft al veel afgereisd in hun leven. De tripjes die wij voor ze organiseren zijn pure ontspanning en het af en toe komen op plaatsen waar ze nog nooit eerder zijn geweest.

...providing the Allies with industrial products and raw material (Meyer, 612). Romania emerged after fighting badly began as another Allied Nation. The three nations of Austria-Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro were no longer on the map as they disappeared. Nine new nations got their own political borders. They consisted of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Finland, Hungary and Austria (Marshall, 478). It took them all of two months until mid-March when the Allies finally knew what to do with Germany. As the French and British wanted, the terms of the Treaty of Versailles would expose Germany to harsh punishments. Few of these terms consisted that Germany had to deplete its army to 10,000 volunteer men, destruction of all U-boats and left with six German battleships, the surrender of small amounts of German territory to Belgium, take all the blame for starting the war, and to pay for all reparations by themselves. Also they couldn't form union or anything with Austria, and they had to relieve the Rhineland of any military force because believed that if the Germans occupied Rhineland it would mean danger for the future of Europe (Meyer, 614). Woodrow Wilson would learn all the views of all the nations as he settled to view the talk. He built in the creation of the League of Nations, which was believed to prevent future wars. On June 16th, Germany was informed that they had a deadline of three days to sign the treaty, which was then push to 7 more days on June...

Naar mijn mening een bijzonder kwalijke en laffe daad. (…) Het gerucht wat nu de ronde doet in de media, namelijk dat ik wederom cocaïne gebruikt zou hebben, is te wijten aan de heren Gootjes en Geukers, die mij op deze beschamende wijze te kijk wensen te zetten in de media.’ Verslaggever Vlado Veljanoski van NOS Studio Sport moet op 13 oktober 2010 met zijn handen in het haar hebben gezeten. Hij heeft Yuri van Gelder sinds zijn eerste bekentenis van cocaïnegebruik 8 maanden met een cameraploeg gevolgd. De documentaire ‘Hangen en Opstaan’ was af en zou die avond uitgezonden worden. Naar eigen zeggen wilde hij er geen cocaïneverhaal van maken, maar gaat de documentaire ook over Yuri’s eenzame terugkeer naar de top (AD Sportwereld, 13-10-2010). Vlot werd besloten de documentaire in originele staat te vertonen, waarbij NOS-presentator Tom Egbers een actuele inleiding en afsluiting zou geven, om het publiek op de...

...Anorexia Nervosa Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder that is characterized by the refusal to sustain a healthy weight (Kumar, Tung, & Iqbai, 2010). Many believe that anorexia is more common amongst Caucasian women, but anorexia occurs throughout all cultures and races. AN has the highest mortality rate of an psychiatric disorder (Kumar, Tung, & Iqbai, 2010). Every major organ system is affected because of the malnutrition that anorexia causes. People with anorexia look in the mirror and see a distorted image rather than what is reality. Victims of anorexia see someone that is huge when in actuality they may be average size and weight. Once a person is diagnosed with anorexia it is hard for them to recover. Not only is it hard for a person with AN to recover, it is also extremely easy to relapse. It takes intense therapy and treatment to cure someone with anorexia. AN exists in every culture and race; it varies amongst African Americans differently as opposed to other cultures. Symptoms of anorexia include an intense fear of gaining weight, refusal to keep body weight up, and amenorrhea for 3 consecutive months (Kumar, Tung, & Iqbai, 2010). Amenorrhea is the abnormal absence of menstruation. Some other symptoms of AN are lanugo, joint swelling, dental cavities, tooth loss, and abdominal distension (Kumar, Tung, & Iqbai, 2010). Lanugo is the growth of fine white hair that grows when anorexics have no body fat left to keep themselves warm (Morrisey, 2010). There also...

Deze nieuwsbrief zal uiteindelijk naar verschillende klanten worden gestuurd. Ook heb ik nieuwsfeiten op de site van Terra Preta geplaatst. Ik heb voor de nieuwsbrief een korte blog geschreven met daarin mijn mening. Ook heb ik twee stukken geschreven. De eerste ging over een recent afgerond project dat Terra Preta had gedaan. Het tweede stuk ging over de naam van Terra Preta. Dit viel onder het kopje ‘Wist u dat’, zo is dit een vrij gebied waarin later iets anders kan worden gezet. * zakelijke correspondentie verzorgen (Communicatie) e-mail extern naar verschillende klanten Er werd gevraagd of ik een mailing kon opstellen die naar verschillende klanten werd verstuurd. Het doel van de mailing was het bekend maken van een onderhoud aan een server. Het is van belang dat de boodschap duidelijk over wordt gebracht en dat je laat merken het vervelend te vinden. Daarnaast heb ik ook een prospect nagevolgd op een inschrijving voor een workshop. Ik heb mij toen verdiept in de workshop, een mail opgesteld en deze later samen met mijn stagebegeleider verbetert.
