Kortgene

Kortgene is a small city in the southwest Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Noord-Beveland, Zeeland, about 15 km northeast of Middelburg. It received city rights in 1431, but was flooded in 1530 and 1532. The new settlement received city rights in 1684.

History
The town was first mentioned in 1247 as Cortkeen, and means "short creek". Kortgene received city rights in 1431, but disappeared in the floods of 1530 and 1532. In 1670, the area was given  who poldered the land. A village developed after the Stadspolder was enclosed by a dike in 1682. In 1684, the city rights were renewed.

The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church which a semi-build-in tower. The tower dates from the 15th century. The church was rebuilt in stages in 1686 and 1754. The interior was restored in 1955.

Kortgene was home to 921 people in 1840.

Kortgene was flooded during the North Sea flood of 1953, and 49 people died. It developed into a recreational centre with marina and villa wards after the 1960s. Kortgene was an independent municipality and contained nearby villages Colijnsplaat and Kats until 1995, when it merged with municipality Wissenkerke into the new municipality of Noord-Beveland.

Colijnsplaat

Colijnsplaat is a village in the Province of Zeeland, the Netherlands It is a part of the Municipality of Noord-Beveland, and lies about  northeast of Middelburg.

History 
The village was first mentioned in 1489 as "het gors Colinsplate", and means "sand bank belonging to Colijn". The sand bank was diked in the late 16th century. Colijnsplaats developed after the Oud Noord-Bevelandpolder was created in 1598. The village contains a ring road around the church.

The Dutch Reformed church is a simple aisleless church. The tower was probably built in 1607. It is plastered white and is located on the edge of the church. The church was rebuilt in 1769. In 1856, a consistory was added to church. The former court house was built between 1768 and 1769. From the 19th century until 1941, it was used as town hall.

Colijnsplaats was home to 1,749 people in 1840. On 1 February 1953, a large part of Zeeland was flooded. The water in the harbour which had direct access to sea started to rise, and the inhabitants feared that they were unable to cope, however the ship Lead which was harboured at Colijnsplaats was thrown on the river bank and blocked the coupure preventing a disaster. The event became known as the Miracle of Colijnsplaats.

The harbour was moved inside the dike in 1961 and was filled up in 1979. A new fishing harbour was built to the north for the fleets of Veere and Arnemuiden. The Zeeland Bridge was built between 1961 and 1965 over the Eastern Scheldt. The bridge is over 5 kilometres long and replaced the Zierikzee to Kats ferry.

Colijnsplaats was an independent municipality until 1941 when it was merged into Kortgene. Despite protests, the village was merged into Noord-Beveland in 1995.

Items of local interest
In 2005, a replica was installed here of a temple devoted to the prehistoric goddess Nehalennia, which remains had been found near the lost town of Ganuenta. She is believed to have been of Germanic or Celtic origin, and there was active worship of her in this area in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, based on archeological finds. This replica temple is based on sanctuaries found at Roman provinces of Gaul and Germania. It was constructed, as much as possible, with authentic materials.

Poldering Noord Beveland (the process the Dutch invented to reclaim land from the sea) did not start again until 1598 - the villages of Colijnsplaat and Kats were both built on estates at right angles to each other.

The Dutch Reformed church originally dates from 1660. In 1870, it was extensively modified. The tower with gable roof were added between 1951 and 1952.

Kats was home to 401 people in 1840. In 1853, the Abrahampolder was created, and the harbour was moved to the north east.

Kats used to be an independent municipality. In 1941, it was merged into the municipality of Kortgene. In 1995, it became part of Noord Beveland.

Milomir Stakić

Milomir Stakić (born 19 January 1962 in Marićka, Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a Bosnian Serb who was charged with genocide, complicity in genocide, violations of the customs of war and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for his actions in the Prijedor region during the Bosnian War. 

In the 1991 elections he became Vice-President of the Prijedor Municipal Assembly as a member of the Serbian Democratic Party. He soon established a parallel Serb shadow government in the region. He faced eight charges in all, ranging from genocide and extermination, to deportation and persecution in the form of destroying local villages as well as mosques and Catholic churches. He was eventually found guilty of five charges, and acquitted of three counts of genocide. The court ruled: "Despite the comprehensive pattern of atrocities against non-Serbs in Prijedor, the trial chamber has not found this to be a case of genocide, rather it is a case of persecution, deportation and extermination." He was sentenced to life imprisonment, which was later reduced to forty years through the appeals process. 

In January 2007 he was transferred to France to serve his sentence of 40 years' imprisonment. At least until April 2011 "Mr Stakić did not co-operate with
the Prosecution in the course of his trial, appeal, or enforcement of his sentence." In July 2011 the court "declines to grant Mr. Milomir Stakić sentence remission."

Poortvliet

Poortvliet (; Zeelandic: Poôfliet) is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Tholen and lies about 12 km northwest of Bergen op Zoom.

History 
The village was first mentioned in 1200 as Portfliet, and the name is a combination of words for port and streaming water. Poortvliet is a circular church village. The Poortvlietpolder and the Mallandpolder are the oldest diked polders of the former island of Tholen.

The Dutch Reformed church is a basilica like cruciform church which was dedicated to St Pancratius. The lower parts of the tower date from around 1350. The church was rebuilt after a fire in 1586. During a restoration in 1778, the entire choir was removed. 

The grist mill De Korenaar was built in 1710. The wind mill started to lean during construction and is smaller than intended. In 2010s, the displacement was 66 centimeters. In 1950, an electro motor was installed. In 2010, it was restored and back in service until 2018.

Poortvliet was home to 1,113 people in 1840. Poortvliet was evacuated and inundated in 1944. In 1945, it was hit by V-1 flying bomb intended for Antwerp which killed four people. Poortvliet was severely affected by the North Sea flood of 1953. 

In 1813, the village of Nieuw-Strijen was merged with Poortvliet. Poortvliet remained a separate municipality until 1971, when it was merged with Tholen.

Scherpenisse

Scherpenisse is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Tholen, and lies about 14 km west of Bergen op Zoom.

History 

It was first mentioned in 1204 as Scarpenes, and means "sharp headland". Scherpenisse developed along the former trench Pluimpot. The area became property of the House of Orange in 1551. In 1556, the Pluimpot was dammed, and the main buildings were constructed between the dam and the church.

The Dutch Reformed is a basilica like church with a thick tower. The church probably dates from the 15th century. Construction of the tower started in 1520, but was halted in 1570. The church was restored between 1971 and 1974. The church is located off-centre, because a part of the village burnt down in 1538, and was rebuilt closer to the harbour.

The former town hall was constructed in 1594 as a gift of Countess Maria of Nassau. The building is in mannerist style and has a ridge turret with clock.

Scherpenisse was home to 935 people in 1840. Scherpenisse was a separate municipality until 1971, when it was merged with Tholen. In 1957, as part of the Delta Works, the remainder of the Pluimpot was filled up, and the harbour of Scherpenisse disappeared.

Paul Brush

Paul Brush (born 22 February 1958) is an English former professional footballer and coach who played in the Football League for West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Southend United. He is best known for his time with West Ham United, for whom he played from 1976 until 1985.

Playing career
Brush came through West Ham United's academy to make his first-team debut as a 19-year-old, on 20 August 1977 in a 3–1 defeat against Norwich City in the First Division. He was an unused substitute for West Ham in the 1980 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, when the Hammers became the last team (as of 2023) from outside the top flight to win the trophy. He was able to appear at Wembley just a few months later in the starting eleven for West Ham in the Charity Shield against Liverpool. In all, he made 151 League appearances for the east London club and scored one goal (against Queens Park Rangers on 1 January 1985), before leaving the club in September 1985 for Crystal Palace. He spent three seasons with Palace, followed by another three with Southend United, then moved into non-league football with clubs including Enfield and Heybridge Swifts.

Coaching career
Brush joined Leyton Orient as youth coach in 1994, was appointed manager in October 2001, and was sacked after two years in charge with the club second bottom of the league. Steve Tilson, appointed manager of Southend United in late 2003, brought in Brush as his assistant, and the pair led the club to two successive promotions, from League Two to the Championship. After not recording a league win in 2010, the club slipped into the League One relegation zone and he was sacked as assistant manager on 8 March. Chairman Ron Martin stated he wanted a positive approach to the on-field activities. The next day former manager David Webb replaced Brush until the end of the season.

On 15 October 2010, he renewed his partnership with Tilson when he was appointed assistant manager at Lincoln City upon Tilson's appointment as manager. In October 2011 both Tilson and Brush were sacked by Lincoln City.

In 2012 Brush became an academy development coach at Tottenham Hotspur.  From 2021 he has been a self-employed coach and scout and is a scout for Cambridge United.

Dropout (astronomy)

In astronomy, dropout is a radiation source whose radiation intensity falls off sharply below a specific wavelength. The source will be easily visible when its light is filtered to wavelengths longer than the cutoff value, but will "drop out" of the image when it is filtered to wavelengths shorter than the threshold.

This is a standard method for locating distant galaxies in deep field images. Because the hydrogen that surrounds the galaxies absorbs light with a wavelength around 100 nanometers, the galaxies have a natural dropout threshold. The exact wavelength of this threshold is redshifted and can be used to determine the distance to the galaxy.

Bob Trow

Robert E. "Bob" Trow (February 6, 1926 – November 2, 1998) was an American radio celebrity, actor, and craftsman.

Raised in the Beltzhoover neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, Trow began his career in radio. He later became well known for his acting roles on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as Bob Dog, Robert Troll, and Harriet Elizabeth Cow, characters from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. In the real-life segments of Mr. Rogers' show, he would also appear as himself, and he had a workshop which Mr. Rogers would visit on occasion to examine his latest creations and share them with his viewers. Trow built all of the set models used in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe segments as well as a number of specialty props, sketches and paintings.

Trow was also an artist and sang in vocal groups in the Pittsburgh area. It was the performance of one of his vocal groups in the early 1950s that caught the attention of radio host Rege Cordic, who offered to manage Trow's group. Discovering Trow's ability to develop comedic material and portray diverse characters, Rege invited Trow to join him on WWSW as a writer and voice actor. Trow created a number of character voices, including the beloved Brunhilda (350 pounds of loveliness), Milkman, Carmen Monoxide (the punster who would later run for president), Max Korfendigas (the drunken golf pro) and more who became a regular part of the long-running Cordic & Company morning show.

The show moved across town to KDKA in 1954. When Cordic left for Los Angeles in 1965, Trow was added to the KDKA staff and did the morning show with Art Pallan, continuing the characters. Pallan and Trow lasted two and a half years on KDKA.

After the show left the air, Trow did hundreds of radio and television commercials in the Pittsburgh area. In addition to performing, he also wrote many of the award-winning commercials he was involved in. He spent many years in advertising as Vice President and Creative Director for George Hill Company, where he developed memorable ad campaigns for Horne's Department Stores, Parkvale Savings, Willi's Ski Shops, Great American Federal, and many more. Trow was inducted into the Pittsburgh Advertising Hall of Fame "post humorously" (as he would say) in 1999.

Trow died at his home in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, in 1998 at age 72 of a heart attack. His ashes are buried in Union Cemetery in New Alexandria, the grave marked by a headstone bearing his name, the date of his birth, the date of his death, and the epitaph "Rest assured."

Anna Jacobapolder

Anna Jacobapolder is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Tholen, and lies about 20 km north west of Bergen op Zoom.

History 
The village was first mentioned between 1838 and 1857 as AandenNoordweg. It was later renamed after its eponymous polder which received its name from Anna Jacoba van Sonsbeeck, the wife of the engineer in charge of the poldering. It was originally an island and separated from Sint Philipsland by the Bruintjeskreek. In 1867, it became part of Sint Philipsland, and in 1884, it was connected to the main land.

The Reformed Church was built in 1895. After the inundation of 1944 and North Sea flood of 1953, it was in a poor state. A new aisleless church was built in 1959. The tower of old church was demolished in 1965, and the church was converted into a residential home.

Anna Jacobapolder used to have a water tower. On 5 November 1944, the village was liberated, and the tower was used as an observation post to the German stronghold at Schouwen-Duiveland. On the night of 22 to 23 January 1945, 50 German fallschirmjäger sneaked into the area. During a battle at the farm Hof Rumoirt, three Polish, two English and one Dutch soldier were killed and the water tower was blown up. There used to be a ferry from Anna Jacobapolder to Zijpe. In 1988, the Philipsdam was completed and the ferry was disestablished.
