At the excellent Ramses Shaffy exhibition at the special collection department of the UVA you will find a Shaffy Chantant set up, his dressing room and an impression of his living(?!) room. Further lots of pictures and notes - and MUSIC of course.

Not sure if they will go one with this trip...

At the "golden treasures of the Krim" exhibition at the Allard Pierson Museum. Wondering to whom they will return all the gold? Putin?

The Power of Sweatpants

13:03 mareku 0 Comments

A series of studies published in the Journal of Consumer Research in February found that individuals who deviated from the norm in the workplace and in a retail setting have more status and respect. Luxury retail sales persons were more likely to assume that a gym-clothes-wearing client was confident enough to not need to dress up more and thus buy more. It seems that people who tend toward the offbeat themselves show extra fondness for freethinking behavior in others... So time to get those sweatpants out of the closet.

Give! (directly)

As we all would like to attribute to improve lives of those who have less or who are in difficulty - the challenge is that we want to ensure that no money is wasted, either at research centers or in the hands of those who are responsible for channelling the money. So now I found www.givedirectly.org. 
Basically what they do is to wire your money to the phone of the people you need it the most. Nothing more - nothing less. Brilliant! 

Hmmm...

While preparing for next week "Brettenloop" run I started a little to overconfident (way to fast) today and barely made it to the finish - so better stick to my old running scheme...
