Netherlands Syllabus 2012 The University of California, Berkeley presents: Summer 2012 Travel/Study Course to the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg Dutch 177 (6 semester units) The Amsterdam-Brussels Connection: History, Art and Identity in the Heart of Europe Organized by Jeroen Dewulf, Queen Beatrix Professor in Dutch Studies [email protected] Introduce yourself to the culture and identity of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, three contrasting monarchies in the heart of Europe. The course begins in Amsterdam, from where we travel to Luxembourg, then to Europe’s capital Brussels. From there, we continue to the bustling sea port of Antwerp and the exquisite coastal town of Ostend. We conclude our journey in Leuven, home of one of Europe’s oldest universities. On our way, we trace important cultural, historical, and political developments on daily fieldtrips. From the medieval towns in Flanders over the Dutch “Golden Age” up to the contemporary (multi)cultural, liberal, and European identity of the Low Countries. We engage with international politics, art, and culture through trips to Utrecht, Haarlem, The Hague, Liège, Bastogne, Ypres, Ghent, Bruges, and many other cities. Guided visits to the Dutch House of Representatives and the European Parliament are also included. The Travel/Study Course Dutch 177 is open to students from all departments on the Berkeley campus as well as students from other universities, also outside the United States. It satisfies the UC Berkeley Arts & Literature or Historical Studies L&S Breadth Requirement, and it is also part of the Dutch Studies Minor or Major. Students from other departments are encouraged to consult with their advisor to see which other major/minor this program may fulfill. Visiting students are encouraged to talk to their advisor about transfer of credit to their home institution. This course has no requirements. No language-teaching is involved.

  • TAPS PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES Jari Villanueva
    TAPS PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES Jari Villanueva www.tapsbugler.com www.TapsForVeterans.org There are two pieces of music that stir the hearts and emotions of Americans-The Star-Spangled Banner and Taps. Over the sixteen years I’ve sounded Taps at Arlington and at other cemeteries, there are ceremonies that stand out in my memory. Of all the times I’ve sounded the call, the most memorable were the times I sounded it at the Tomb of the Unknowns. To me to this is the highest honor that a bugler can perform. It is the military musician’s equivalent of “playing Carnegie Hall.” I sounded the call at the funeral of General Ira Eaker, commander of the 8th Air Force during World War II, and for the funeral of General Godfrey McHugh, Air Force Aide to President Kennedy. I sounded the British call “Last Post” at the grave of a W.W. II Australian flyer who is buried at ANC, in a ceremony attended by the Australian Air Force Chief of Staff. On every Memorial Day weekend for the past twelve years I have performed at a memorial service for the Flying Tigers, the W.W. II flying group, at the Old Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington. This is especially moving for me, to see these real heroes of a previous generation. The hardest funerals at which I’ve been asked to sound Taps were those of active duty military members. One such was a funeral in Oil City, Pennsylvania for a nineteen-year-old airman who was killed by a drunk driver while on his way to his first duty assignment.

    Dated Journal Netherlands Philately 1308 Pin Oak Drive Dickinson, TX 77539-3400 USA Netherlands Philately Magazine of the American Society for Netherlands Philately Volume 36/1 Founded in 1975 NETHERLANDS PHILATELY Magazine of the American Society for Netherlands Philately; Volume 36/1 December 2011 Editor‟s message G‟day Dear Members, This is your first magazine of the new season. A double thick number to make up for the loss of the Septem- ber issue of the magazine. Due to my emigration to Australia I was not able to get the September number fin- ished on time. This means that this year not 6 but 5 issues of the Netherlands Philatelist will be in your mail- box, of which one is a double thick number. For most members, the dark cold days are in front of them and they probably won‟t mind the extra reading material. I have arrived safely in South Australia in the Adelaide region and started slowly to settle into the Aussie life style. The last few months a lot of things have happened to me as editor and for the ASNP club itself. Unfor- tunately we have lost two well-known members, George Vandenberg and Erik Roos. In this magazine you will find more information about them. I hope you will enjoy reading the new magazine and remember, if you have an article for us or want to write one let me know, as I‟ll be happy to publish it!
