Unlike alcohol, which dulled and incapacitated, marijuana enabled the musicians, whose job required them to play long into the night, to forget their exhaustion. Moreover, the drug seemed to make their music sound more imaginative and unique, at least to those who played and listened to it while under its sensorial influence. In the 1930s, ‘reefer’ songs were the rage of the Jazz world.

Distinctive and characteristic, it was music then written and played by and for black people. Among the tunes that topped the hit list of the era were Louis Armstrong's ”Muggles”, Cab Calloway's ”That Funny Reefer Man”, Fats Waller's ”Viper's Drag”, and many more by less famous artists, like ”Viper's Moan”, ”Texas Tea Party”, ”Smokin' Reefers”, ”Mary Jane”, and the ”Mary Jane Polka”, recorded by studios like Columbia, Victor and Brunswick. Dizzy Gillespie was no stranger to pot either.

A real luxury. Het Schip.

In zijn boek ‘Kleine geschiedenis van Amsterdam’ (p.359) schrijft de journalist en "historicus" Geert Mak over de schietpartij: ‘Zelfs op 7 mei, twee dagen na de capitulatie, richtten dronken Duitse mariniers een bloedbad aan onder de feestvierende menigte op de Dam, al schietend vanuit de Grote Club’.

Dit is niet juist. Overigens had Duitsland geen korps Mariniers, maar dit terzijde. Hieronder de ware feiten over die dramatische dag. Inleiding: Op 4 mei 1945 krijgt prins Bernhard in Beekbergen, namens generaal Montgomery, van de Canadese generaal Foulkes strikte orders dat zijn Nederlandse Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten geen wapens mogen dragen en dat alléén de geallieerden de Duitse troepen mogen ontwapenen. Desondanks trekt de BS in Amsterdam zich niets van deze strikte orders aan en gaat toch gewapend de straat op om Duitse soldaten te ontwapenen (klik HIER voor meer bijzonderheden over de orders).

The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland, also commonly called Holland in English) is a European country, bordering Germany to the east and Belgium to the south. The people, language, and culture of the Netherlands is referred to as "Dutch". With over 16 million people on an area roughly twice the size of New Jersey, it's a densely populated country with its gorgeous capital Amsterdam being just one of many interesting cities. Once a great naval power, this small nation boasts a wealth of cultural heritage and is famous for its painters, windmills, clogs and notoriously flat lands.

A modern European country today, it preserved its highly international character and is known for its liberal mentality. As a founding member of EU and NATO, and host to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands is at the heart of international cooperation. Regions[edit] The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, administratively divided into 12 provinces (provincies). Cities[edit] Mental_floss Blog » Strange Geographies: Quick Facts About the Netherlands. I just got back from a week in the Netherlands (and Belgium and Luxembourg) and my head's still spinning -- from the jet-lag, heavy beers, and dizzying awesomeness of that part of the world.

I'm just starting to go through the intimidating mountain of images and videos I took while there, but just to kick off what will be probably several weeks of occasional posts about the region, I wanted to do a quick overview of Holland, which as it turns out has a lot more to offer than tulips and wooden shoes (though it's got those, too). The first thing you notice about Amsterdam are its canals. The second is all the bikes. It's got more of both than anywhere else -- more canals than Venice, and more bikes than people, some 1,000,000 unsexy-but-practical granny bikes for a population of just 700,000.

Everyone rides -- little kids, old people, businesspeople, couples on dates (one does the pedaling while the other rides on the luggage carrier). They have some great beers in the Netherlands . How to Turn a Pallet into a Garden. Good news and bad news. I had planned to film a short video showing you how to make a pallet garden, but the weather didn’t cooperate. I was stapling the landscape fabric onto the pallet when it started drizzling and got really windy. That’s the bad news.

'De VAN MOOF heeft het oerhollandse ontwerp van de opafiets naar de 21ste eeuw getild', zegt Sjoerd Smit, ontwerper van de VAN MOOF.

De bekende driehoeksvorm van de opafiets herken je meteen en toch is de VAN MOOF een opvallende verschijning. Niet alleen oogt de fiets met het aluminium frame, bruine zadel en de zwarte spatborden minimalistisch, hij is het ook echt. De VAN MOOF heeft slechts één versnelling, een terugtraprem en hij weegt slechts 13 kilo. Er zit ook geen dynamo met draadjes of externe fietslampjes op. Overigens zijn de dikke framebuizen niet alleen bedoeld voor lampjes en voor de looks, ze vormen de basis voor een reeks innovaties die in toekomstig versies nog zullen volgen, zoals een in de buis geïntegreerd kettingslot. How to Design a Man's Closet" A man's wardrobe consists, for the most part, of suits, shirts, ties, jackets, sweaters, and casual wear. You won't find the wide variety of items or lengths that are common in a woman's wardrobe. Although many feminine equivalents to a man's clothes do exist, the issue of importance is a matter of space rather than classification.

A man's garments are usually longer than a woman's (except for dresses). This fact leads to a significant, though subtle, element affecting the organizing of a man's closet: Space can be used more efficiently in a man's closet. All the room in a man's closet can be double-rodded, since nothing is longer than a suit coat or shirt.

And the height of the shoe shelves need not extend above the height of his dress shoes or cushioned running shoes. In this article, we will explore to design a man's closet for maximum storage and efficiency. Remove accompanying belts from slacks.
