Commission: Dutch Tolerance of Soft Drugs Unsustainable
2 Jul 2009 | 3:06 amA commission headed by Wim van de Donk, chairman of the Scientific Council for Government Policy, has concluded that the current policy on soft drugs in the Netherlands is unsustainable. The shops which sell these drugs are often owned by criminals and public health is in danger because the amount of active ingredient in marijuana and hashish has increased. The “coffee shops” which sell them should only supply local users and not become major distributors for drug tourists. In October 2008 the border towns of Roosendaal and Bergen op Zoom decided to close down all “coffee shops” in… -

Problems in Appointing New ECtHR Judges
24 Jun 2009 | 3:23 amA procedural battle is being waged about the appointment of a new Ukranian Judge at the Court.

The origin was the fact that in 2007 one of the three candidates on the list submitted to Ukraine withdrew. Thusfar, the authorities refused to submit a new third candidate. Instead they have submitted a completely new list, without even justifying such a move with a reference to exceptional circumstances. This is the report on the issue by rapporteur Dick Marty of the… -

Friends of Glass Update
28 Jun 2009 | 12:45 amI know it's been a while since I updated you guys on my progress in the Friends of Glass project. For those of you that are new to my blog or have simply forgotten: Friends of Glass is a project that hopes to raise awareness towards the environmental profits of recycling, you guessed it, glass. In this project, several people have been chosen to broadcast ther ideas on the subject, and I happen to be one of them. Now, in the past, I've not been very actively involved. This mainly comes down to me having to graduate, and not finding time to devote myself to the cause. Now that I've graduated,… -
I am graduated!
25 Jun 2009 | 2:05 amIt took me a while to realise that there are people who read my blog that I don't talk to on a regular basis, if at all. A bit unfair of me then maybe, to ommit something good from my blog. On Monday the 22nd of June, I got the happy message that I am entitled to my diploma. Four years of Communication and Multimedia Design have gone by in a flash. It was alltogether a nice time of learning, having fun and exploring the bounderies of my vivid imagination. I've not got my precious piece of paper yet, but I promise you photographs when I do get it. That said, ending one chapter of my life… -

Going Dutch: "Boe!"
27 Jun 2009 | 3:27 amAccording to the Dutch, cows say: "Boe!"My personal favorite here in the Netherlands are those like these "ladies" pictured above. They are, of course, cows.

To tell you the truth, I've only seen cows here in Germany once and that was because we passed a farm. I don't think they're very common here. . ."These black and white cows are Dutch. They are Holstein cows, also known as Holstein-Friesian or Friesian,… -

Pieces of Enschede

So I stopped in the center to take some photos because the weather also turned out to be great.

Drugskoersen op de radio
2 Jul 2009 | 10:05 amFoto: deondernemer.nl In de jaren zestig kreeg je nog twaalf maanden celstraf voor twaalf sigaretjes met hasj. Elk sigaretje één maand lik. Maar toen begin jaren zeventig de uitlaten van auto’s zowat over straat schuurden omdat de kofferbakken vol hasj zaten, was het drugsgebruik ook voor de Amsterdamse narcoticabrigade (twee man sterk) niet meer te stoppen. Nu het gedoogbeleid deze week weer nieuws is, sinds het rapport van de commissie-Van de Donk, is het terugzien van een vpro-aflevering van Andere Tijden (uit 2004) over de opkomst van de hasj in Nederland zeker de moeite waard.
