From pogo to popo, he wrote about the Netherlands-Serbia match that Fanatics Dutch at least made an effort, among other things by spending dozens of hours painting a banner. He thought that the repeated singing of "we are orange" could be too much, but said that spectators could better sing along than look around in surprise. He hoped that the KNVB would offer standing places at these kinds of matches for twenty euros, so that more football supporters would visit those sections and a stronger football atmosphere would arise. He also wrote that supporters would then be able to collect enough points to cross the North Sea in two years. #oranje #dutchtanatics #gewoonzelfjebekopendoen #oranje #voetbal #supporters (translated)

De schat van de mieren: Waar de paden samenkomen - De schat van de mieren: Waar de paden samenkomen www.amazon.nl/dp/B0H34T87R3 Visuele wiskunde duidelijk uitgelegd — Dutch Edition / Édition néerlandaise by Mr. Numberwise De schat van de mieren: Waar de paden samenkomen is een visueel wiskundeverhaal dat vergelijkingen, grafieken en coördinaten verandert in een avontuur dat kinderen echt kunnen zien en begrijpen. Wanneer Mia en Alex twee mysterieuze mierenpaden ontdekken die elkaar op het strand kruisen, ontmoeten ze Mr. Numberwise — een rustige gids die hun laat zien dat wiskunde niet alleen uit getallen op een pagina bestaat, maar ook uit verhalen, paden, patronen en ontdekkingen. Door mieren, schatkaarten, trappen, kleurrijke paden en spannende “Aha!”-momenten maken kinderen kennis met: • lineaire vergelijkingen • helling • coördinaten • grafieken tekenen • snijpunten en ontmoetingspunten Dit boek gebruikt originele visuele modellen om algebra gemakkelijker te begrijpen: • helling wordt een trap • een vergelijking wordt het recept van een pad • +b wordt de startverdieping • coördinaten worden het adres van een punt • een snijpunt wordt de plek waar twee verschillende padverhalen samenkomen Voor kinderen die zich nerveus, geblokkeerd of overweldigd voelen door wiskunde, biedt dit boek zachte hulp bij wiskundeangst door middel van vriendelijke beelden, eenvoudige stappen en vertrouwde ideeën. In plaats van algebra abstract of eng te laten voelen, verbindt het nieuwe begrippen met dingen die kinderen al begrijpen: een trap, een pad, een mier, een verhaal. Dit boek combineert: ✔ verhaal ✔ visuele uitleg ✔ opgeloste oefeningen ✔ stap-voor-stap leren ✔ tekeningen en grafieken ✔ oefenbladen ✔ uitleg in de stijl van “Math Made Clear” ✔ onvergetelijke “Aha!”-momenten In plaats van formules uit het hoofd te leren, beginnen kinderen te zien hoe wiskunde beweegt. Perfect voor nieuwsgierige leerlingen, visuele denkers, thuisonderwijsgezinnen, klaslokalen en kinderen die algebra voor het eerst ontdekken. Hoofdzakelijk ontworpen voor kinderen van 10–14 jaar, maar dit boek kan ook oudere leerlingen helpen die algebra moeilijk vinden en een duidelijkere, meer visuele uitleg nodig hebben. En eerlijk gezegd… misschien begrijpen veel volwassenen met dit boek eindelijk ook de helling beter. Een visueel wiskundeverhaal met opgeloste oefeningen — ontworpen om algebra eindelijk duidelijk te maken. #visueleWiskundeVoorKinderen #visualMathForFid #hulpBijWiskundeangst #mathAnxietyHelpForKids #zomerseAvonturenverhalenVoor_9_12_jaar #lineaireVergelijkingen #linearEquations #hellingBegrijpen #understandSlope #grafiekenBegrijpen #understandGraphs #hellingCoördinaten #slopeCoordinates #Nederlands #Kinderen #DutchEdition #Kids #Scheveningen #Zandvoort #BloemendaalAanZee #EgmondAanZee #BergenAanZee #Domburg #Renesse #Noordwijk #Afsluitdijk #Brouwersdam #Oosterscheldekering #Maeslantkering #Haringvlietdam #VeerseGatdam #Prinsengracht #Herengracht #Keizersgracht #Singel #Brouwersgracht #Oudegracht #0255_. 20261006: 917(357)8 #Blij #BlijOnderwijs #BlijeKinderen #BlijeWiskunde

Ci sono serate in cui il calcio sembra divertirsi a smentire ogni previsione. Siamo nel 2003. Il percorso in Champions dell’Inter comincia ad Highbury, contro l’Arsenal degli Invincibili. Una squadra che quella stagione finirà la Premier League senza perdere una partita. Tra i nuovi nerazzurri c’è un’ala arrivata dall’Ajax. Pochi mesi prima aveva incantato l’Europa con un gol all’Olimpico e un’esultanza che gli era valsa un soprannome: Andy Van der Meyde, il "Dutch Sniper". A Londra, Andy trova la sua notte. Cruz apre la partita, Toldo para tutto. Poi Martins raddoppia con un pallonetto, prima che Van der Meyde raccolga un pallone respinto dalla difesa e lo colpisca al volo. Un destro terrificante, seguito dalla sua immancabile esultanza. Finisce 0-3. I leoni di Highbury, titoleranno i giornali il giorno dopo. Van der Meyde non avrà la carriera che molti immaginavano. Ma quella sera, per una notte, fu esattamente ciò che prometteva di diventare: il "Dutch Sniper". #calcio #Inter #ChampionsLeague

The "Teatro Edicola" of San Severo on Dutch National Radio: 3NOS (Nederlandse Omroep Stichting) Radio 1 Journaal SOURCE: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/teatro-edicola-san-severo-dutch-national-radio-3nos-1-sardella-ph-d--miyue/ SOURCE: https://www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/nos-radio-1-journaal/019eb683-d7ec-7292-a842-aa433d067145/2026-06-10-klassieke-italiaanse-krantenkiosk-is-aan-het-uitsterven A remarkable occurrence is unfolding in San Severo. The renowned Dutch broadcaster 3NOS (Nederlandse Omroep Stichting) Radio 1 Journaal has devoted a full reportage to our Newsstand Theatre, the extraordinary creation of artistic director Francesco Gravino and the theatre company Foyer’97. In an Italy where newsstands are vanishing—declining from 35,000 to fewer than 11,000 within a few decades—San Severo has chosen not to capitulate. Instead, it has transformed a small, disused kiosk into the smallest theatre in the world: a place where creativity finds room even when space itself appears to have run out. The Dutch correspondent, journalist Dr Angelo van Schaik, travelled here to witness it first-hand, astonished by the cultural vitality that can emerge from just a few square metres and from a community that regards theatre as a shared civic good. Today, San Severo speaks to Europe. And it does so with the voice of art.
