The Knijpkat. 2019 marks 80 years ago that the dynamo torch from Philips Netherlands was developed. In this booklet you will find the bizarre history of this Knijpkat, its production, technical development, use and variations. Despite its 80 years of age most of these cats are still purring! Within these pages can be found comprehensive information of most malfunctions. If nothing else-the cat can be overhauled. Chances are your refridgerator will probably not live as long as the cat. Much re...

Between 2015 and 2018 the artists Nada Gambier, Mark Etchells and Thomas Kasebacher undertook a series of visits to cities across Europe, spending several weeks in each place in a sustained, playful and intuitively structured investigation. They went to, amongst others, Athens, Mynämäki, Tbilisi, Kortrijk, Lille, Tournai and Zagreb, criss-crossing the continent, in myriad directions, taking notes, taking photographs and making recordings. There was talk in bars and cafés, in private houses...

The European Beta-tradition is the second in the series of five Homeric oral traditions that Ward Blondé discovered in the Iliad. In contrast to the Mykenaian Alpha-tradition, the Beta-tradition has its origins in the proto-Celtic Europe of the Tumulus and Urnfield cultures; it describes a society of clans who fought each other to death on the battlefield. The European Beta-tradition is so realistic and varied in its descriptions that it must have originated in a warrior culture.

Blondé’s...

Frank Libertas was in Kiev during the Maidan-revolte in February 2014 en this inspired him to write down his experiences and personal observations what really happened behind the scene. In this complex geopolitical forcefield the tensions were rising so high that Frank seriously feared for a total escalation between NATO and Russia, which was later confirmed by president Putin. In the summer of 2015 the MH17 airplane of Malaysian Airways was shot down above the Eeastern part of Ukraine and t...

It’s frustration that spawned Murphy’s Law: The plan was good, how could it fail? Indeed you may not like it but our span of control is limited. We don’t control other people’s opinions, or the traffic, or the weather, or the economy. What we can learn to control is the way we deal with it, our attitude. Adopting a creative attitude opens up a world of possibilities. The creative attitude will make you trust that the new path will present itself at the right time. You will be amazed a...

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Mechanics Of The Quantum [MQ] searches for mechanical microprocesses of individual and collective behaviour of quanta (as building blocks of fields, mass, energy, light…) to reveal causality behind the laws of physics. The discrete MQ-model shows a 5th property.

Our reference frame from our level of scale does not allow us to interact mechanically with the smaller or smallest scales. But that doesn’t mean that things at those scales do not behave in ways similar to classical mechanical pr...

After many years of backproblems I finally found the solution for me in a Fusion (Spondylodese. Since I missed information about what to be expected after the operation I decided to write a book about everything I experienced both before as well as after the operation. With this book I give you a glimpse in my world. How does it feel to live with immense pain 24 hours a day? And how did I experience the operation and the year after?

This book is not only helpful for patients but also for th...
