Netherlands

There is a Reinier Snapper (b. 1907) from the Netherlands. A few of his pieces have been sold at art auctions, but it is difficult to obtain info on the selling prices without joining an art evaluation website, which usually charges a membership fee.

First of all, you have to make sure they are original paintings. Through my own research, one painting 27X29 was auctioned off for $1708.00. Another auctioned around 1997 for approx. $1900.00. You may want to check out Worthpoint.com or call your local art museum and check with their research dept.

Amsterdam is in the Netherlands. One would go through the North Sea which is an area of the Atlantic Ocean down the Atlantic Coast through the Straits of Dover and then through the British Channel, south past the Bay of Biscay, to the Straits of Gibraltar through the Medditerranean to the part of that known as the Aegean.

Amsterdam is a city in the Netherlands and is therefore subject to the laws and form of government that is practiced in said country. The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy much the same as the United Kingdom.

The answer is no. The city of Amsterdam can not change Dutch Law. The Dutch Law makes a differents between hard and soft drugs. Softdrugs in small amounts are 'legal' only for personal use. That will be marijuana/weed and hash

But the city of Amsterdam is more liberal in the possession of small amounts of hard- and soft drugs.

Amsterdam is a city located in the province known as Noord Holland which is in the country known as The Netherlands. The country actually has a total of 12 provinces but only 2 have the word Holland in them. (Noord Holland and Zuid Holland) The country is often incorrectly called Holland by both locals and tourists. People who reside in provinces outside of Noord and Zuid Holland typically don't care for the country being called after a province. The actual name of the country is Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden which translates into The Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Josquin Desprez's career exemplifies the dominance of composers from northern France and the Netherlands during the Renaissance.

The French and English were intractable enemies before, during, and after the North American fur trade caused friction between the world's superpowers. One might say, therefore, that it had no impact on the French - Engllish relationship. BUT, if we look at the microcosm of the St. Lawrence River (and environs) and upstate New York, we find a mercantile competition. The European powers had armed conflicts with the Indians, but as the Europeans settled along the St. Lawrence (plus approx 5 miles inland on each riverbank, the French argued that they had come for the furs and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. This argument fell on sympathetic Indian ears. The French fur trader was called a coureur-de-bois -- woods runner -- and as an individual wanted the furs exclusively. The Jesuit priests tried mightily to convert the Indians, but were frustrated by the behavior of the coureur-de-bois who often kept squaws in each tribal village they conducted trade. It is true that the English settler wanted land. Though willing to pay for it, once bought, the settler wanted the Indian to move off. But England had an advantage in the fur trade... they paid higher prices than the French and had higher quality goods for trade. What were the Indians to do? Another factor to consider is Indian politics. The Iroquois (arguably the largest and fiercest forest fighters) didn't feel threatened by the French and therefore allied with them. There was a down side for the French to having the Iroquois nations as allies. Other New England tribes (e.g., Mohicans) felt threatened by the Iroquois and allied with the English solely for that reason -- hatred of their traditional enemy. Finally, the geography of North America played a role. The French settled along the inland rivers of the continent. Consider their settlement locations: New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, Detroit, Montreal, and Quebec. This is the natural result of inland waterways used to transport the furs to market. The colonists in Virginia were the match thrown into the North American powder keg. Virginia claimed that their colony stretched westward to the Pacific. Tracing your finger from Virginia westward you see why the French were alarmed by this claim as it cut their North American empire in half! War became not a question of IF, but WHEN. In summary, the fur trade impacted the relationship between the Europeans from the fierce competition for the overtrapped furs, territorial claims and intentions, and the Virginian claim that hastened armed conflict on the continent. But I truly believe the machinations in the royal courts in London and Paris, the European causes of the Seven Years War were at the heart of the conflict we call the French and Indian War.

According to theJournal of the American Medical Association in a 1995 study, Dutch doctors reported to ending the lives of 948 patients without the patient's request. Keep in mind that there is no legal repercussions from not reporting a euthanization in the Netherlands and if a life was ended without request it would be less likely that it would be reported. According to a video by the International Task Force on Euthanazia and Assisted Suicide called Euthanasia: False Light, things have "gotten so bad in Holland that people have in their wallets little cards saying 'Do not euthanize me without my permission'" (Emphasis added)

1.) Dutch West India Company was a chartered company of Dutch merchants. The area where the company could operate consisted of the United States and New York. The intended purpose of the charter was to eliminate competition, particularly Spanish or Portuguese, between the various trading posts established by the merchants. The company became instrumental in the Dutch colonization of the Americas. This colonization and organization provided them with money. This profit was gained because they reinforced travels. Money directly from goverment was the company's income.

That, my dear reader, is quite simple. It all begins with the person who we all call ''the Father of our land, William of Orange''. He was originally a German noble who got the job of taking care of the Lower Lands (the Netherlands) and was prince (not like King and Prince, but something like the boss there) of Orange, a city in France. Because of that he was known as William of Orange. Many years later when Holland became a Kingdom instead of a Republic the decendents (if I write it in a good way) of William, where the Kings and Queens. They where known as the Oranges (William of Orange -> William II of Orange -> Emma of Orange -> Juliana of Orange -> Beathrix of Orange (William-Alexander of Orange). And because we all luv our dear Queen (Beathrix), we wear about anywhere at a National Event the colour Orange.
