The 'Christiaan Cornelis Corts Foundation' and the 'Philippus Corts Foundation' together are making up 'The Corts Foundations'.
The Corts Foundations are both Dutch non-profit organizations founded in 2003 with the legacy capital of Kees Corts, whose interest in the Indonesian history led to the support of many interesting projects.
Mission and Vision
The vision of The Corts Foundation is to make an important contribution to the preservation and dissemination of documentary heritage in the field of the History of World War II and Asian-European Relations so as to safeguard information on common and national history.
The foundation focusses on four areas of interest.
C.W. Corts MSc was born on 24 May 1920 into a Dutch family living in Sumatra, where his father practiced medicine. In 1939 Kees Corts returned to the Netherlands for his tertiary education with his parents and younger brother, Philip. World War II proved to be a tragedy for the family, as Philip was executed during the occupation of the Netherlands.
As stated the "Christiaan Cornelis Corts – foundation" and the "Philippus Corts foundation" together are making up "The Corts Foundation". The Christiaan Cornelis Corts – foundation is in control of the finances, while the "Philippus Corts- foundation" operates projects abroad under the registered name: "The Corts Foundation".
The foundations are non-profit organizations working for the general benefit. They were founded in 2003 in order to secure the legacy capital of Kees Corts, and to define its mission in the field of the history of the Second World War and the VOC archives in Indonesia.

Stay Healthy at Every Age What Your Doctor Wants You to Know (Paperback)

|*Author: Nundy, Shantanu *Subtitle: What Your Doctor Wants You to Know *Publication Date: 2010/04/20 *Number of Pages: 378 *Binding Type: Paperback *Language: English *Depth: 1.00 *Width: 6.00 *Height: 9.25
From the Publisher:
The most important thing in your life is your health.
Buying a car is a big investment. To make sure you get the most for your money, you want to keep your car running smoothly for as long as possible. The thing of it is, your health is no different. Just as routine auto tune-ups prevent major repairs to your car down the road, regular medical checkups can keep you driving right by the hospital.
Staying Healthy at Every Age gives you information to help avoid major medical problems and make the most of preventive care, keeping you and your family healthy.
Dr. Shantanu Nundy's book describes the diagnostic tests needed for "routine maintenance," including what and who is involved and when the tests should be done. It also covers all the common diseases, explaining causes, symptoms, and treatment. It provides and interprets at-a-glance schedules for screening, preventive medicine (such as aspirin to prevent heart disease and vaccinations), and counseling -- recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- to guard against disease before it develops.
Taking care of yourself is not much harder than taking care of your car. Like the checklists found in the owner's manual of your vehicle, these simple preventive health guidelines will keep your motor running longer and stronger.

Date Published:
September 16, 2008
Representing the system's most unsavory characters in his work as a criminal defense lawyer, jaded attorney Mickey Haller takes on his first high-paying and possibly innocent client in years, but finds the case complicated by sinister events that suggest the workings of a particularly evil perpetrator. Reprint.
Although fans of Michael Connelly's popular and critically praised Harry Bosch series won't find their favorite police detective in this legal thriller, they'll enjoy getting to know the half-brother Harry's never met, California defense lawyer Mickey Haller, who runs his office out of his Lincoln Town Car. Mickey doesn't worry too much about the actual guilt or innocence of his disreputable clientele. Instead, he prefers to concentrate on locating the loopholes in the prosecution's case and keeping an eye on his bottom line. Mickey's priorities undergo a radical shift--too late, perhaps--when he manages to land a rich client accused of assaulting a woman at a bar, and discovers that the apparently slam-dunk case has an extremely unpleasant price tag attached to it.

Conan asked the running back before revealing a pool full of the candy. Marshawn then made one of his signature backwards dives into the pool, followed by Conan himself.

Sydney Opera House
Issued 4 December, 2009
Antony and the Johnsons
31 January + 1 February 2010, Concert Hall
"Two words and he has broken your heart. When he sings it is the most exquisite thing you will hear in your life" - Laurie Anderson.
Light and song in sublime harmony - Metro (UK)_______________________________________
As part of Adventures 2010, Sydney Opera House presents Mercury prize winner, New York singer-songwriter, Antony and his band, The Johnsons performing their ethereal and visually spellbinding 'symphony tour' for two shows only, 31 January and 1 February, Concert Hall.
First seen during 2005 Sydney Festival as part of the Leonard Cohen tribute concert, Came so far for Beauty, where he set the stage alight with his heartbreaking rendition of If It Be Your Will, Antony will return for a special concert accompanied by a 41 piece orchestra.
Performing songs from all three of his albums plus new arrangements by New York composer, Nico Muhly, a Juilliard graduate and protégée of Philip Glass who has collaborated with Bjork and Rufus Wainwright amongst others, the concerts will be conducted by Rob Moose, concertmaster with Burt Bacharach.
One of the most distinctive vocalists in music today, Antony's vocal tone sits somewhere between black jazz singer, Jimmy Scott and British crooner, Brian Ferry. Pitched in the region of a counter tenor yet containing a deep masculine quality, his voice is a delicate multi-octave instrument that can capture despair with soaring beauty.
Cutting an exotic figure with his alabaster skin and shambolic gait, Antony was discovered by rock impresario, Hal Willner who introduced him to rock icon, Lou Reed. Reed auditioned him and employed him as a back up singer on his 2003 tour. Since then, Antony formed his own band, released three albums, Antony and the Johnsons, I am a Bird Now – winner of the2005 Mercury Music prize and The Crying Light, a breathtaking record about love, loss and the environment.
Chichester born, but growing up in California, Antony moved to New York in 1990, where he found a world much more accepting of his sexually ambiguous nature. Revealing private worlds of tenderness and sorrow, his thoughtful and emotionally vulnerable lyrics ruminate on themes of gender, identity and the struggle to transcend barriers.
More than just a concert, the symphony tour sees sound and vision unite as the stage pulsates with a dazzling array of lighting by lighting designer, Emma Westerberg, perfectly reflecting Antony's angelic melodies and vulnerability.
Vocals, ANTONY

Israel battled a new swarm of locusts that crossed the border from Egypt.
Crop dusting planes on Monday dropped pesticides on the locusts, which are yellow and preparing to lay eggs. The yellow locusts eat much less than the swarms that have been entering Israel over the last three weeks, but the hatched eggs would pose a significant risk to Israeli crops since locust larvae will eat any green plant.
A swarm of about 30 million locusts first appeared near Cairo on March 2 and caused millions of dollars worth of crop damage in Egypt.
The locust attacks come at the start of Passover, which recalls a destructive plague of locusts that the Bible says was sent by God to help free the Jewish slaves.

Finding Vivian Maier
Showing May 20th 2015
It may would be fair to say that the recent resurgence in the interest and practice of street photography is in no small part due to the discovery in 2007 of a large quantity of unprocessed film left behind by the recently deceased Vivian Maier, a lady who worked as a nanny for most of her adult life. If you are not familiar with the story and have any interest in photography, then this film is a 'must see'.

Jean Rondeau-Scarlatti
Great to hear the music of Dominico Scarlatti being championed by this young French harpischordist. Inspiring.
Book Highlight- Alvin Langdon Coburn
"My aim in photography is always to convey a mood and not to impart local information. This is not an easy matter, for the camera if left to its own devices will simply impart local information to the exclusiveness of everything else." - Alvin Langdon Coburn.

Some lovely work to be seen here
My favourite books of the year-2014
Jesse is an Australian photographer based in Melbourne. A documentary/street photographer, his early work was in black and white. Jesse decided around 2004 to switch to colour for his street work. This major shift has resulted in the publication of this latest book of his and is the result of a 10 year exploration in the medium. Published by M.33 it is a limited edition book of 1000 and can be purchased directly from Jesse's website HERE
The book has high production values, heavy paper stock is used and colour reproduction is rich and vibrant. Every picture is placed on the right-hand side. This is good as the images are meant to stand alone and not have a relationship with each other. I found this to be is an inspiring and rewarding book. I will let the images speak for themselves and to thank Jesse for letting me reproduce some here.
Another marvellous book I got in 2014 was Jeff Jacobson's THE LAST ROLL. This book project began in a low point in his life when he was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2004. The chemotherapy used in treating it took it's toll, confining him to the house for some time. But slowly as his health returned so did his mobility and he began to travel across America again with his camera. It was at this time that Kodak announced the discontinuation of Kodachrome, his beloved film of choice. Stockpiling his refrigerator with as much as he could buy, these would become his last film shots and, for all he knew, his last images. The book deals with the transience and fragility of life with the poetic eye of a former Magnum photographer. The photographs are printed on a lovely matt paper stock.
Background Video
This inexpensive book by David Gibson is just a treasure for anyone thinking of trying to do street photography. It is all about the spirit of the genre. The reader is introduced to twenty acclaimed contemporary street photographers, among them Bruce Gilden, Nils Jorgensen and Saul Leiter, and intersperses the profiles with twenty invaluable projects that deal with the practicalities of street photography and break down different approaches into clear concepts. Written with obvious love and enthusiasm, it should be on every students list of essential books that can really make a difference to the quality of their photography if studied and lessons acted upon.

Utilities: little to fear from more climate change legislation despite new proof
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Utilities are already saddled with myriad mandates ranging from renewables to energy efficiency to cybersecurity to coal plant standards and many more. But they should have a few years respite from the prospects of a carbon tax or other climate change legislation. This despite an about-to-be-released report with additional evidence that fossil fuels are the number one cause of global warming. - By Jesse Berst
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is preparing to release its latest report, which will declare that scientists are more confident than ever that human activities, chiefly the burning of fossil fuels, are the main cause of global temperature rises. The Wall Street Journal reports that 95% of all scientists share that opinion according to the report, due officially in October. In 1995, just over 50% were convinced.
Despite the new evidence, Congressman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, said there is little chance that the federal government will pass new climate legislation, according to a story in the Marin Independent Journal.

45 year old man | Saint Petersburg, FL, USA | Seeking women 30-45 within 1000 miles
Active within 24 hours
Single attractive and physically fit male, seeks attractive, athletic female who enjoys fine foods, art, and the outdoors.
I am a physically fit, attractive, hard working, successful fun loving man. I really appreciate a woman who makes the commitment to take care of herself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Some thoughts on who I am and what makes me tick. 1) I don't appreciate or respect shallow people, rather recognize thinkers and doers that understand the benefit of a healthy, and full throttle go get it lifestyle. 2) I'm compatible with all ethnic backgrounds or nationalities; for stereotypes and self conceived notions of people serves no valid purpose. 3)True nobility is not about being better than anyone else, rather its about being better than you used to be! So many people miss the boat on what true success is! 3) I would like to think my ideal match would be someone who has a affinity or at least an appreciation for working out. Having physical fitness is not a prerequisite, but a lifestyle choice that works for me. I seek to spend quality time with a woman who is very attractive, but most of all someone who is very affectionate, fun and someone I can talk to no matter what the situation or circumstance. 4) I am somewhat religious/spiritual, but not a condescending holly roller and still believe in enjoying a good time and occasional libations and laughs with friends and family. I believe it's good to reward yourself occasionally! I know I ask alot, but I bring the same to the table, so I don't feel it is an unreasonable request. In order to maintain a successful relationship, people have to have some sense of a core together. This is built through mutual respect and having similar unwavering principals. If a couple can foster and nurture this together, all things are possible. Finally, a word about friendship and communication. First, true friendship is so underrated, and the most important foundational principal in a successful relationship. Second, communication is paramount for any relationship to continue. For these reasons, these qualities are of the utmost importance for my partner. If your interested in meeting an introspective and motivated man, then we'd probably get along very well.

To support shared resources and facilities for categorical research by a number of investigators from different disciplines who provide a multidisciplinary approach to a joint research effort or from the same discipline who focus on a common research problem. The core grant is integrated with the center's component projects or program projects, though funded independently from them. This support, by providing more accessible resources, is expected to assure a greater productivity than from the separate projects and program projects.
To support any part of the full range of research and development (R&D) from very basic to clinical; may involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. These grants differ from program project grants in that they are usually developed in response to an announcement of the programmatic needs of an Institute or Division and subsequently receive continuous attention from its staff. Centers may also serve as regional or national resources for special research purposes.
To support a multipurpose unit designed to bring into a common focus divergent but related facilities within a given community. It may be based in a university or may involve other locally available resources such as hospitals, computer facilities, regional centers, and primate colonies. It may include specialized centers, program projects, and projects as integral components. Regardless of the facilities available to a program, it usually includes the following objectives: to foster biomedical R&D at both the fundamental and clinical levels; to initiate and expand community education, screening, and counseling programs; and to educate medical and allied health professionals concerning the problems of diagnosis and treatment of a specific disease.

OK so we usually go on 1-2 vacations each year -- somewhere in driving distance, stay at the cheapest hotel/camp, bring our own food, do free local activities -- so relatively inexpensive.
We really REALLY want to get away from the stress etc. and go to our favorite local spot... and DS is so much happier on vacation (he's high-needs and I just really cherish those trips because he's so happy on them, we get to feel more like a normal family!) Plus if DH does find a job, it would probably be hard for him to get time off right away, so I feel like we should take advantage of DH being so available, and just GO. And I have 4 weeks of vacation time that I somehow need to use by Dec.
But the other half of me thinks it's completely stupid to even consider spending anything on something so frivolous!!!
Depending on the total cost, maybe. My first reaction was NO!!!! but if you're taking food (you'd eat at home anyway) and doing free activities and camping...how much can it really set you back?
As long as you can budget it in and your bills are still paid, absolutely yes.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
My husband isn't totally laid off - but his company was shut down, and now he is working for a temp firm and does not know if the new company is going to hire him or if he will be on unemployment - but either way, we are going on vacation next week. It is his parents 50th wedding anniversary and all his siblings are coming as well. We have already paid the major portions of the expense.
Yes, you should go.
We don't have access to the camping equipment we usually borrow (and with a toddler, borrowing anything makes me nervous since he could destroy it!!) so we'd need to buy a tent, tarp, and a few other things (probably under $50) and pay for gas plus campground fees or find a free campsite. I think ideally we'd stay in a hotel because the heat's been bothering me lately and it's easier... so depending what we'd do/how long we stay, it would cost us total between $100-400.
I desperately want to get away. *insert whining*
We did! My dh was working, and I was a SAHM (~5 years) at the time with two young children. We were in a town where we had no family and were slowly making friends and I desperately needed a vacation. We booked a one-week cruise and were to take the kids to grandma's house in another city. Two days before we were to leave to go to grandma's, my dh got laid off (mid 2008). We had no credit card debt and some savings, but we had a mortgage and a car note. We went anyway! I don't regret it for one minute. I got a job 5 months later which I love, but it took my husband 2 years to find another job (he's very picky). It took us 8 months to sell the house (while paying rent in the city where I got my job), but we were able to get through it all while keeping some savings. We were very fortunate. As long as you don't have credit card debt and have some savings I say go for it!
If it won't cause more financial stress, then yes, go. Enjoy.
A few years ago, both dh and I found ourselves without jobs. We knew it was temporary, we had savings, and we were relocating anyway. We packed up the kids and took a long driving/sightseeing vacation to get to our next home. It's a very special memory for us.
I wouldn't, personally.
This exactly! DH is on UE also, and I am on maternity leave, but we budgeted in a couple of camping trips for this summer.
There are lots of daily deal websites out there that can help you have really fun vacations (even if it's a day trip) for not too much money.
Working, freshly graduated! mama. Loving life with DH , DD 7/09, and DS 06/11 .
yep. great time to get away
Unassisted birthing, atheist, poly, bi WOHM to 4 wonderful, smart homeschooling kids Wes (14) Seth (7) Pandora Moonlilly (2) and Nevermore Stargazer (11/2012) Married to awesome SAH DH.
I can't think of a better time to go. it doesn't sound like you are being extravagant and spending money you don't have. Might as well take a week off and get away from the stress.
The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.
Yes, go! Enjoy your vacation with your family.
Yes, I would go! Just because you are laid off/on UE doesn't mean you should sit in the house and do nothing.
here is my philosophy on things - which bless her heart my xmil helped me to see.
the one whose needs has at all costs to be taken into consideration is our soul. everyday when dd was a baby she'd call me and ask me what have i done for my soul that day (marriage was on the rocks so even in a marriage i was all alone with a HNs baby and she wanted to make sure i kept my sanity). i'd tell her about what about my baby made my day and she'd tell me - no tell me what have YOU done for YOUR soul today. because i was coming from a taking care of dd perspective. teh day i told her how dd touched me emotionally she accepted.
in times of stress we must grab at any source of joy. because i have discovered in my own journey - something changes within me when i take care of my soul (it doesnt matter whether u believe in god or not. by soul here i mean YOURself. and the word soul is a shortcut method for saying urself). for a few days, moments i feel so destressed. and the result. i can think more clearly and logically when i've had a break.
the world does not look like such a hopeless place. and you know what. the answers jump out at me. AND over and over and over again things have always worked out.
simple example (perhaps too simple). i have the last $ in my purse and dd asks for a mexican bakery treat. i have the money but its my last $. at first i immediately ball up and fear just wells up within me. and then i go what the heck. i am tired of living that way. and we eat and walk home and its all so beautiful and the day seems better than it is.
the key is not doing it. the key is giving yourself permission to do it. and later on while doing laundry i found that dollar in a pocket. at that moment it fills me with such deep great joy that we did something when we could. both dd and i had a great time. otherwise if i hadnt and found that dollar oh man i sink to the pits of sadness. to the very depths. that i did not spend the money.
i have read many first accounts from the depression when even thru the hunger and darkness - little acts of soul caring really made for wonderful moments. even, yes even at the cost of food. choosing to eat buttered toast for lunch at the cost of no dinner.
so yes. do it. a holiday means more to ur family now than it has always meant. esp. if you have the money NOW.
Oh this is great getting your perspectives!! I tend to penny-pinch even in the best of times so I'm never sure if I'm being prudently cautious or just plain stingy.
We don't have access to the camping equipment we usually borrow (and with a toddler, borrowing anything makes me nervous since he could destroy it!!) so we'd need to buy a tent, tarp, and a few other things (probably under $50) and pay for gas plus campground fees or find a free campsite. I think ideally we'd stay in a hotel because the heat's been bothering me lately and it's easier... so depending what we'd do/how long we stay, it would cost us total between $100-400.
I desperately want to get away. *insert whining*
First, go and have fun. My crew went on the longest vacation we had ever taken (18 days in the Summer 2009) when DH was laid off. He ended up being off of work for 10 months afterward (for a totally of about 18 months). Anyway we made lots of great memories and we all still talk about it often (and had a pretty lame vacation in 2010 since DH did not have much for vacation accrued).
I tend to be a bit of a camping equipment snob, but directionally I think spending more on tent than $50 is going to money well spent. IMO Cheap tents=wet people and gear. A quality tent can last a long time (We still regularly use a tent we bought in 1998 that probabily has 150 night of use on it. It has one window that held together with duct tape, but I have never gotten wet in despite being in some crazy rainstorms). Our average price per night is less than $2 for that tent. Anyway a thoughtfully picked out $200 tent should last longer and be way more functional than four $50 tents.

text: Facebook opens developer platform for mobile October 24, 2007 10:48 AM Eric Eldon 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Facebook has announced that third-party developers can integrate features from web-based Facebook applications to work on mobile devices. Most of the world uses mobile devices, and in many countries, people use phones more than they do computers. With Facebook's audience rocketing upward around the world, this latest move could encourage higher participation, at least among people who use Facebook applications. It comes as the company reportedly prepares New York for its new "SocialAds" ad network and tries to finalize a financing deal with either Microsoft or Google that includes rights to its international advertising. We can only assume the deal would include international mobile advertising in Facebook. We also have to wonder if mobile ad network startups out there, like AdMob, Buzzcity and Millenial, will look more seriously at building ad networks for social network applications. Buzzcity, for example, already has experience with mobile social networks: It started in 1999 as Mygamma.com, an international mobile social network that currently has over 2.1 million active users. However, at least one big app developer — RockYou — is choosing to focus first on integrating with other social networking platforms in order to get more users. Web, not mobile is how Facebook's core demographics of users in the US, Canada and the UK access the site, RockYou co-founder Jia Shen told us. Countries like China and India that are big in mobile aren't big in Facebook. Mobile apps may be a good way to monetize, though, Shen tells us: "Lots of people are thinking about how to run micropayments through phone bills" as high schoolers don't have access to credit cards for doing things like buying Facebook's virtual gifts. Facebook users can choose to send and receive text messages from applications and otherwise poke, prod, needle, "throw food," and perform other gimmicky actions on applications. Blackberry owner Research In Motion has also released a customized application for the device (see screenshot). See our separate story about Facebook's SocialAds program. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.
