Oud Engels stoomschip komt stukje bij beetje boven water
Pieter Atsma
Vlieland | Het heeft wel iets van een grijpautomaat op de kermis. De kraanmachinist van de Sliedrechtse berger Van den Herik, die het bovenste deel van het oude wrak op moet ruimen, heeft alleen een 3D-kaart om de kraan aan te sturen op de bodem van de Noordzee. Na een week heeft hij toch de belangrijkste delen al boven kunnen krijgen.
,,Er is net een deel van de stoomketel boven water gekomen”, vertelt Kees Jonker van het bergingsbedrijf. ,,Dat is een van de belangrijkste onderdelen van het schip die we moeten ophalen. Maar we hebben ook al veel stukken van de boeg naar boven gehaald.”
Het wrak van het schip - waarschijnlijk van Engelse makelij - ligt in de vaargeul Zuider Stortemelk, vlak boven Vlieland. In de loop der jaren is het steeds hinderlijker komen te liggen voor de scheepsvaart. Om ongelukken te voorkomen wordt het wrak daarom geruimd tot een diepte van 11,5 meter. Dit betekent dat de bovenste 2,5 meter van het schip moet worden weggehaald.
Ontknoping in Nebraska in 'Brieven Boven Water'
In de vierde aflevering van 'Brieven Boven Water' de ontknoping van de speurtocht naar Gerrit Bakker, een 17-jarige jongen uit de 19e eeuw die ontroerende brieven naar huis schreef.
In deel één zagen we hoe de Loosdrechtse Erik in oude kerkarchieven in het plaatsje Holland, Nebraska, terechtkwam. Hij hoopte daar aanwijzingen te vinden omtrent het lot van zijn 19e eeuwse familielid. Vanavond de ontknoping waarbij Erik onverwachte ontmoetingen heeft en steeds dichterbij de waarheid komt. Welke familie vindt hij nog terug in Amerika? Zal hij nazaten van Gerrit Bakker vinden en zal hij antwoord krijgen op zijn belangrijkste vraag: waar is Gerrit Bakker gebleven?Een heftige epidemie van Gele Koorts velt honderden Curaçaoënaars. De familie Evertsz ontspringt de dans maar valt toch ten prooi aan rampspoed. Engelse kanonskogels vellen de halfdronken bemanning van de Nederlandse vloot en bezorgen kapitein Evertsz de hoofdpijn van zijn leven. Als zijn neefje dan ook nog pijp rookt tussen dozen vol licht ontvlambaar buskruit krijgt de doodgraver het wel heel erg druk. Derk Bolt neemt nazaat Victor van Kampen mee naar Curaçao, op zoek naar sporen van dit onbekende familiedrama. En lukt het ze om het verdwenen graf te vinden van ‘Cornelis met het Halve Hoofd’?
SOMEthing to THINK about
In the excellent documentary
Genetically modified society (see blog)
the statement is made. That “everybody should become a farmer(in a natural and eco-friendly way).”. I agree, but also want to add a quote of Karl Marx, when he tried to describe the “natural lifestyle” of men.
He wrote in his early works, that mankind had to be a farmer in the morning, a fisherman in the afternoon and a “Critic” (“Kritischer Kritiker”) at the campfire in the evening.
“Der kompletter Mensch” ,
(the complete human being m/f).

SiTU MEMO 10: SWEET HOME, ALABAMA
http://youtu.be/izDF26wqI0M
He played the music as loud as he dared. It was a song of calling. Earlier generations were programmed by this, and other songs, and it appealed to the rebel in man. And that was exactly what he needed. He, master Jian, had been back on his homeplanet, for a couple of months now. He was shocked by what he saw. In 1989 he had left the mainstream of this society, to undertake a journey into the darkness and beyond. That's when he had discovered and met those alien forces. With some he became friends, but most were sworn ennemies. The latter wanted to see a return of their investments. Earth had untill now been a cosmic laboratory, combined with a place to dump the worst and darkest minds of the cuniverse. But the experiment had gotten out of hand. Inspired and helped by alien intelligence mankind was now ready to conquer the planetary system. Technically they could do it and some did. The latter vanished during the excperiment. But the ambition was still their and when the governments would stop spending money on war and military equipment, the step into space would be easy.
Social engineers of the Empire had infiltrated the world governments and institutions to continue the current level of world warfare and terror. But even here, the military had developed weaponry which could hurt the military forces of the Empire as well. Things threatened to get to the worst and finally the Empire had decided to strip Earth from his resources, after which it could be turned in to the private huntinggrounds of the Emperor and his clique.
Why was our venture to get into space that dangerous? Humans would discover, that they were living in a solar system which was completely artificial and constructed by alien entities, which presence and activity would be clearly visible. Even on the moon, which was in fact an abandoned warfortress.

RESEARCH module 1:
Genesis is the first book of the Bible, or so they say.
The composition of the Bible varies over the centuries. Constantine the Great stimulated an official Bible, who would be used all over the Empire. The bishops at Nicea provided one. These manuscripts are lost in history and it is not untill the 9th and 10th century, that Bile-manuscripts survived untill now.
The Bible I use, contains an Old Testament (39 books, 1119 pages) and a New Testament (27 books, 322 pages).
The Bible, we use, is the result of a process of elimination. Existing “spiritual manuscripts”, in use by the early Christians, were left out and sometimes banned as heretical.
The Death Sea-scrolls (found shortly after WW2), the Nag Hamadi-library and other finds delivered original manuscripts, scrolls and even unknown gospels, which still have to find a place in theology and history.
Do some research and make another list of “biblical books”.
Documentaries and information on this subject can be found on a parallel-blog: The Journey Within

What happened in 999 ad.:
The suspicious death of Pope Gregory V
He was a son of the Salian Otto I, Duke of Carinthia, who was a grandson of the Emperor Otto I the Great. Gregory V succeeded Pope John XV when only twenty-four years of age. He was the chaplain of his cousin Emperor Otto III, who presented him as candidate.
Gregory V was the first German Pope.[1] Sometimes Pope Boniface II (530–532) is considered the first German Pope, although he was in fact an Ostrogoth.
Pope Gregory V with Emperor Otto III. c. 1450
Politically, Gregory V acted consistently as the Emperor's representative in Rome and granted many exceptional privileges to monasteries within the Holy Roman Empire. One of his first acts was to crown Otto III Emperor on 21 May 996.[2] Together, they held a synod a few days after the coronation in which Arnulf, Archbishop of Reims, was ordered to be restored to his See of Reims, and Gerbert of Aurillac, the future Pope Silvester II, was condemned as an intruder. Robert II of France, who had been insisting on his right to appoint bishops, was ultimately forced to back down, and ultimately also to put aside his wife Bertha, by the rigorous enforcement of a sentence of excommunication on the kingdom.[3]
Until the conclusion of the council of Pavia in 997, Gregory V had a rival in the person of the antipope John XVI (997–998), whom Crescentius II and the nobles of Rome had chosen against the will of the youthful Emperor Otto III, Gregory's cousin. The revolt of Crescentius II was decisively suppressed by the Emperor, who marched upon Rome. John XVI fled, and Crescentius II shut himself up in the Castel Sant'Angelo. The Emperor's troops pursued the antipope, captured him, cut off his nose and ears, cut out his tongue, blinded him, and publicly degraded him before Otto III and Gregory V.[4] He was sent to the monastery of Fulda in Germany, where he lived until 1013. The Castel Sant'Angelo was besieged, and when it was taken in 998, Crescentius II was hanged upon its walls.
Gregory V died suddenly, not without suspicion of foul play, on 18 February 999. He is buried in St. Peter's Basilica near Pope Pelagius I. His successor was Gerbert, who took the name Silvester II.

Snowball Earth http://youtu.be/SwzYYnjbi_c describes a theory that for millions of years the Earth was entirely smothered in ice, stretching from the poles to the tropics. This freezing happened over 650 million years ago in the Pre-Cambrian, though it's now thought that there may have been more than one of these global glaciations. They varied in duration and extent but during a full-on snowball event, life could only cling on in ice-free refuges, or where sunlight managed to penetrate through the ice to allow photosynthesis.

THE
MASKS
He
called himself an etno-antropologist, specialized in studying small
etnic groups, who had managed to survive and preserve the traditional
culture-patterns.
He
had travelled the world and became quite famous with his articles,
documentaries and t.v.-appearences. This expedition had been a
success. His guide Moba had lead him to a mountainrange in northern
Mali, where he had witnessed impressing ceremonies, where stelted
Gods prohesied the future in a crazy dance.
As
in many African tribes masks played an important role in the
three-day festival. There were two groups of masks. The “tolerant
and empathic” ones and masks representing darkness, horror and
evil. The struggle between the two opposing forces would be decided,
which group would win and dominate the future cycles.
It
was tradition that the good Gods won. In the final confrontation the
dark spirits were bound and chained to the masks. You could feel the
burning evil, when the dark side, was carried off into the darkness
and the triumphant masks danced till first light.
“Moba”,
he cried out loud, “Moba!” His guide stuck his face out of the
hut. “Moba, I have one last question about the closing ceremony.
What happens to the evil masks, are they burned?” Moba nodded, “I
will ask the chief. He is inside.”
A
minute later Moba reappeared, a big smile on his face.
“The
chief says, that they are being sold to tourists!”

SOMEthing
to think about

Hanlon
(USA) is the location of one of oldest and largest dumping grounds
for nuclear waste.
In
the early years contaminated material was simply buried, later on
underground facilities were build and, above ground, tanks for fluids
and other waste.
Recently
research showed, that radio-active substances had leaked into the
earth and reached under ground waterlevels.
Authorities
present the problem as local and under control (like Tepco does about
Fukusjima). They completely ignore, that the leaking started in the
60ties and that underground water flows like a river and is connected
to surface-water. The pollution started half a century ago and will
eventually spread around the world.
Sacred Spirit of Water
This means the previous 2.5 million lakes and rivers that were protected have been diminished to only 62 protected rivers and 97 lakes. If you enjoy the benefits of the Canadian outdoors, camping, canoeing, boating, fishing, for that matter clean drinking water, you need to ask yourself how will you be impacted by the sale of your water resources?
Forbidden Science - Shattering the Myths of Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Journalist and Researcher Richard Milton presents a case that what we have been taught about Darwin's theory of evolution is totally wrong and that this most fundamental belief with respect to human origins should be completely re-evaluated by main stream scientific and academic institutions.

Als
gevolg van een verloren oorlog met Engeland, moesten de Nederlanden
hun handelspost in Noord-Amerika, Nieuw-Amsterdam, afstaan. De nieuwe
bezitters herdoopten het in “New York”.
Toch
heeft de Nederlandse aanwezigheid haar sporen achtergelaten.
“Brooklyn” is een verbastering van “Breukelen” en verwijst
“Flushing Meadows” naar Vlissingen. New York kent nog een
“Walstraat', “Amsterdamse” straat en een “Nassaustraat”. De
dollar is afgeleid van de Nederlandse daalder.
New
York kent ook een beroemde baseball-club: ” de Yankees”. Hier ook
weer Nederlandse “roots”. Niet-Nederlandse inwoners raakten in de
war van de namen van de Nederlanders. In hun oren heetten ze allemaal
“Jan” of “Kees”, wat hen de bijnaam “Yankees” opleverde.
De Nederlanders vertrokken, de bijnaam bleef hangen.

SiTU MEMO 3: COMMANDER ORLOV
Meanwhile in the motherchip the commander and his staff gathered for a final meeting. Countdown for Operation Harvest had begun. While everybody waited until the commander had occupied his chair, every entity present in the room checked their latest data.
Commander Orlov, was a wellrespected captain in the Imperial Fleet. Though he was not the right man for the job, Central Comand had put him in charge. He knew that he could only proof himself or fail. The Handbook for Alien Contact would be his guideline. In the end it would all be simple. The planet Earth had to be harvested. It meant that the whole planet, including its inhabitants, should be stripped for use elsewhere in the Empire. When this was done, the remnants would be left to the Aliens and adventurers, who wouild turn it into a place never to be heard from again and removed of the Galactic Map. Though he looked human, Orlov had no geneticval connection what-so-ever with the human inhabitants of this planet. He didn't care at all for his look-a-likes. Just the Imperial Timeline would be his guide. It meant that about 2014 the covert operations could be started, finishing the job in 2021.
He had carefully chosen his officers, which had resulted in a diverse crew, resulting in minimal personal contact. That was the way he liked, that was the way to run a ship.

stoomschepen het verhaal van de scheepvaart
Op vrijdag 20 september stroomt het Kattendijkdok vol met stoomschepen zoals de sleepboot Dockyard V en de Hydrograaf maar ook de zeilende Kogge, de barkentijn- hotelschip de Marjorie, de mooiste varende erfgoedstukken zoals de Vrouwe Nele, de Rupel maar ook de Ziet op U Zelven, zeilende vrachtschepen of oude visserschepen, de rond- en platbodems van weleer. Dus tjalken, klippers, aken, hoogaarzen, hengsten en veel meer.
Kortom: de grootste verzameling van authentieke schepen die de geschiedenis van de haven van Antwerpen vertellen en nog steeds in de vaart zijn. Deze vloot telt vijf en tachtig eenheden tussen de 65 meter en 6,5 meter lengte. [Omgeving Badboot - Mexicobrug]
De schepen zijn te bezichtigen op zaterdag en zondag en je kunt er ook op meevaren.
Dat de geschiedenis ook toekomst heeft merkt het publiek als ze aan boord van van de havendienstschepen zoals de Sinoor baggerboot, de Condor opruimboot, de peilboot en een sleepboot van de 80 reeks gaan rondkijken. Op het binnenschip Merdok maak je kennis met de opleiding tot professionele bemanning. En ernaast ligt een gloednieuw binnenvrachtschip te blinken waarvan de deuren openstaan. Het interieur doet niet onder aan een luxe appartement, maar hier schuift de wal aan je voorbij als je er in leeft. De brug lijkt een echt ruimteschip met vooruitstrevende apparatuur. [Omgeving Londenbrug - Amsterdamstraat]
Ontdek de verborgen zeeman in je
Diverse schepen voeren de bezoekers van de noord- naar de zuidkant van het Kattendijkdok. Beperkte groepen zullen het Koggelabo kunnen bezoeken, waar wetenschappers de restanten van de Doelse kogge onderzoeken. Dat is een authentiek wrak uit de middeleeuwen dat 2000 in de bouwput van het Deurgangdok werd blootgelegd. Ook de loodsdeuren van de MAS collectie havenwerktuigen en ander dokwerkersmateriaal gaan dit weekend uitzonderlijk open. Er zijn vertellingen over de scheepvaart, de zeescouts demonstreren roei- en zeiltechnieken en er zijn vijf en dertig watererfgoedorganisaties die je wegwijs maken in de wereld van scheepvaart en pleziervaart.
Water-rAnt is open op zaterdag 21 en zondag 22 september aan zowel de oost- als de westkaai van het Kattendijkdok, eilandje Antwerpen. Toegang is gratis. In totaal nemen er negentig schepen aan deel. De bezoekers kunnen langs één kilometer aan kaaien de mooiste schepen aangemeerd zien en op vele gaan rondkijken.
