of dumping ground for container ships.” He added: “There are three of them a couple of miles offshore which are sitting high up in the water so it doesn’t look like they have any cargo I don’t know if they have a skeleton crew but they seem empty and they’ve been there for ages.” The Brasschaat was named after its home district in Flanders shipped between Murmansk in Russia and western Europe and

occasion of her third solo exhibition at the gallery, Tinka Pittoors (1977 Brasschaat) continues to develop her work around the theme of nature imprisoned by man She elaborates this approach through sculptures paintings and ceramics that she produced during a three-month residency at the Europees Keramisch WerkCentrum in 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands she found inspiration in the still lifes of Dutch Mannerism which presented improbable bouquets of reinvented flowers whose assemblage defied the logic of the succession of seasons One may note in passing that most of these flower painters were originally from Antwerp these enchanting bouquets cautioned against the precariousness of life on Earth installations) of Tinka Pittoors seem at first glance to exude a certain sense of cruelty: the flowers and birds are locked up in the work In the long installation The Wallflower Execution Tinka Pittoors hangs on a rudimentary wooden structure the fruits of a contemporary fishing expedition: next to the flowers Facing this assemblage is a stool that recalls the cruel position of the "wall flower" the girl at the ball - as a reference to the double meaning of the title Two colors dominate: the white of the bare material (gesso chosen by Tinka Pittoors because of its artificiality which contrasts heavily with her cheerfully colorful universe The artist sees this work as the beginning of a story which the imagination - her own and that of the spectator - will take further as it feeds the reflection on the nature of this still life.  The appointment with the scouting column by BDP is back. After having talked about Tyger Campbell the journey in search of interesting names in the European panorama today stops in Bilbao with the protagonist Thijs De Ridder Both his parents and brothers played for years with his mother who also took part in the Belgian first division He took his first steps at the age of 9 in the hometown club Schoten-Brasschaat before moving to the Antwerp Giants In the 2020-21 season he made his first team debut in the BXT League and in the Eurocup cwinning several awards such as “Rising Star” “Sixth Man of the year” and being included in the 1st quintet of the Belgian-Dutch LeagueAll this earned him a call-up to the senior national team in the World Cup qualifying window In the summer of 2023 it will be exhibited at theEuropean Under 20 where he was the best scorer of the competition (19 points) and the best rebounder (12) so much so as to attract the attention of Surne Bilbao Basket who signed him In his debut season in a competitive league like ACB he averaged 6.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 18' of play He was also confirmed as a starter and in this first part of the season he increased his averages to 8.6 points and 5.6 rebounds doing even better in the FIBA ​​Europe Cup where he scored 11.3 points grabbed 5.7 rebounds and delivered 1.1 assists Let's take a closer look at the interesting features of this "little gem" The word to best describe De Ridder is versatility We are talking about a modern big man who prefers pick'n'pop situations to punish the defense with a long-distance shot Equipped with a good shooting mechanic with a quick release of the ball this allows him to beat the pressure of the defenses In shooting situations with his feet on the ground he produces 2.7 points per 2.6 possessions equal to 1.056 PPP for Synergy View post on imgur.com De Ridder has an important instinct for grabbing rebounds he is a very good offensive rebounder (1.5 on average in ACB and 2.4 in Fiba Europe Cup) the sense of position and the energy he has to "battle" with the opponents' tall players never holding back to create second chances for himself and his teammates View post on imgur.com but the young Belgian has a good first step and a decent speed that allow him to beat more static long players off the dribble this allows him to beat the defender in close-out situations and with the ability to resist contact he can finish at the rim with a good touch in support or with powerful dunks View post on imgur.com email and website in this browser for the next time I comment Villa Nottebohm in Brecht (Antwerp province) has been knocked down The iconic villa was an inspiration for the American film director Tim Burton’s film "Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children" The villa inspired the author of the book on which the film is based The movie itself was filmed in Brasschaat   The villa was built at the start of the last century and has been abandoned for some time It looks like the perfect place to film a horror movie with its overgrown grounds The auteur Ransom Riggs took the inspiration for his book Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children" A film was made of the book in 2016 directed by Tim Burton and starting Eva Green Although the plan had originally been to use the villa as the backdrop to the film It was eventually filmed a few kilometers away in Brasschaat INBO participated in the international Horizon 2020 research project NITRIPHYLL on nitrification in the crown canopy of European forests Nitrification is the process by which specialized microorganisms (archaea and bacteria) on the leaves or needles It has long been believed that the crown canopy is an important link in the nitrogen cycle in forests Only recently have advanced research methods allowed us to unravel these complex processes For this research, ten sample plots from the ICP Forests Level II monitoring network were selected these are the sampling plots of Scots pine in Brasschaat and beech in the Sonian forest The sites were chosen along a nitrogen deposition gradient The Flemish plots belong to the category with the highest deposition in Europe samples of throughfall water - that is precipitation after passing through the crown canopy - were examined 55% of the nitrate in the throughfall was of biological origin (i.e from microbial conversion of ammonium to nitrate) this means that annually 4-5 kg of nitrogen deposition measured as nitrate in the throughfall was originally deposited on the forest in the form of ammonium Nitrification in the crown canopy thus greatly obscures the proportion of ammonium in the throughfall deposition of inorganic nitrogen Ammonia deposition originates mainly from agricultural activities and oxidized nitrogen from combustion processes (including industry This research indicates that our measurements of throughfall deposition until today have underestimated the impact of ammonia and overestimated that of oxidized nitrogen Arne Verstraeten Read more: Guerrieri R. et al.

Hidden cameras in holiday home and family home The investigation into Eddy Snelders' voyeurism has already revealed that the former footballer and commentator filmed naked women with a hidden camera

that she had witnessed the 60-year-old masturbating several times at the office of his real estate and construction company in Brasschaat India's Ramandeep Singh and Pakistan captain Muhammad Imran starred with two goals each as the traditional rivals played out a bruising 2-2 draw in a group clash of the World Hockey League (HWL) Semifinal on Friday

anticipated Pool A clash lived up to its billing at the Brasschaat Municipal Park here Ramandeep (13th and 39th) scored for world No 10 Pakistan were bolstered by Imran strikes — a penalty stroke and a penalty corner in the 23rd and 37th minutes Asian Games champions India were threatening to score a late match-winner when their strikers thrice took shots at the rival citadel in the last three minutes during a surcharged encounter played at a brisk pace but there were a lot of wayward marksmanship by their strikers as Pakistan also fell back to defend stoutly in the first encounter between the two sides since the Champions Trophy semifinals in December last year Pakistan won that Champions Trophy semifinal contest at Bhubaneswar by one goal but obscene gestures in the onfield victory celebrations led to suspensions of twoPakistan players This draw gives India seven points from three outings in Pool A ahead of the fixture against World champions Australia Pakistan now have four points from three matches Berths for 2016 Rio Olympics are on offer in HWL India have already booked their ticket to Rio by beating Pakistan to claim the Incheon Asian Games gold the Indians are a relatively relaxed bunch and coach Paul van Ass is trying out options They are yet to seal their spot in the Olympics India could afford not to field their best squad in the HWL semifinals which otherwise is the last chance for some teams to qualify for the Olympics The top 4 sides from the 10-team tournament will proceed to the HWL Final to be played in November-December in India The top-3 teams will qualify for the Rio Olympics But some teams ranked slightly lower may also get a chance if any of the countries also feature in the five places available to winners of continental tournaments India were the better team at the start on Friday with the players combining and coordinating well They got the more of the ball possession in the first quarter as Pakistan took time to get into rhythm Pakistan got a great chance of going ahead as Shakeel Ammad set up Muhammad Waqas only for the latter to waste it India got the crucial 1-0 lead in the 13th minute as Gurmail Singh drove the ball inside the Pakistan circle with blistering speed and Ramandeep made full commitment and threw his body to deflect the ball in Pakistan regrouped and bounced back strongly to make lethal circle penetrations and threaten Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh every time The best part of Pakistan was the way they managed the space in the field while it seemed India Sparks flew thick and fast between the two Asian giants and players didn't allow each other free space Pakistan got a penalty corner in the 23rd minute and skipper Muhammad Imran's flick was saved on the goalline by Devindar Sunil Walmiki with a backstick Seasoned Imran stepped up to convert it to a goal even if Sreejesh correctly dived to his right India responded well and were rewarded with a penalty corner that was wasted by a poor strike from Manpreet Singh Both teams went to the half-time locked 1-1 Pakistan played a fluent game as India played with 10 members as Satbir Singh sat outside following a yellow card Pakistan earned a penalty corner in the 37th minute that was converted successfully as Imran flicked high into the net India responded two minutes later as Devindar got a pass from skipper Sardar Singh and surged into the rival circle to set it up for Ramandeep who lifted the ball high into the net for his brace India and Pakistan both wasted a penalty corner each in the fourth quarter as their stoppers failed to properly check the balls after the push missed the absence of a penalty corner expert as their top artist VR Raghunath is in India due to injury and Rupinder Pal Singh is yet to fully recover from an injury sustained during a warm-up game here The responsibility was on Manpreet and in this match filled with pressure it was a demand too much for the youngster as the rival goalkeeper Imran Butt had a good day in the office Butt showed very good reflexes as he dived twice in one minute to keep India at bay and ultimately both the teams tried in vain in search of the winner If you have any queries about this error, try emailing feedback@mirror.co.uk and we'll do what we can to help you
