Bron: resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011232914:mpeg21:a0120 Deze afbeelding is hier opgenomen als beeldcitaat bij het album Jan Otto (1855-1951) over de representatie van een ouderwetse dorpshistoricus. De tekst van dit artikel luidde als volgt:
"Op zijn rondreis door Nederland heeft Sint Nicolaas Koedijk overgeslagen. In dit langgerekte dorp aan de dijk langs het Noordhollands Kanaal kent men het feest van Sint Nicolaas niet, althans niet op 6 december: men houdt er dan ook op 6 december geen pakjesavond. Maar vergeten doet de goedheilig man de Koedijkers niet. Hij komt tegen het einde van deze maand speciaal voor Koedijk naar Holland terug; zulks op uitnodiging van „Het Schoolverbond , in 1870 door dominee Venker opgericht en dat nog steeds traditiegetrouw i het verlate St.-Nicolaasfeest voor de jeugd verzorgt.
Op 28 december zal St.-Nicolaas bij de vlotbrug uit zijn auto, waarin hij uit de richting Bergen zal zijn gearriveerd, overstappen in een open landauer, om na door burgemeester Landman te zijn verwelkomd, geëscorteerd door ruiters zijn tocht langs de koedijk te maken naar het verenigingsgebouw ln „Oostwljk", waar 160 kinderen hem zullen toezingen. Misschien zingen die kinderen van „Sinterklaas Kapoentje", maar zeker zingen zij de twee liedjes van de Gouden Engel, want voor de Koedljkers is de Sint net symbool van de Gouden Engel, wiens feest zij op 1 januari vieren en wiens goede gaven op de tot pakjesavond gemetamorphoseerde Oudejaar avond worden uitgedeeld.
Behalve voor een enkeling misschien : — een nieuwbakken Koedijker — was 5 december geen pakjesavond in Koedijk. Heel misschien, dat een of andere Koedijker vrouw heimelijk een klein pakje voor haar man maakte, omdat die uit Alkmaar kwam en het toch ; niet helemaal zonder kon stellen, maar dat mag dan niemand weten en bovendien wordt het dan op oudejaarsavond nog eens flink overgedaan.
Wie die Gouden Engel eigenlijk is en wat de oorsprong is van dit typisch Koedijker gebruik, daar zijn de meningen het niet over eens. Hardnekkig is het verhaal van de vissers — Koedijk , was omringd door meren, waarin de Koedljkers visten — die eerst tegen het eind van de maand huiswaarts ; keerden en daarom eerst op oudejaarsavond het feest van de Sint konden vieren. Maar waarom dan alleen in Koedijk, vraagt de man, die dit verhaal niet gelooft; er lagen nog andere , dorpen rond die meren, waar ook vissers woonden, en in al die dorpen vierde men wel St Nicolaas op 5 en 6 december. Meer waarde hechten wij aan het verhaal, dat de 96-jarige Jan Otto in 1931 aan Piet Hart vertelde, thans de nestor van de Koedijker gemeenteraad, die dit verhaal in een stencil vastlegde. Jan Otto zag in de Gouden Engel de personificatie van Graaf Willem III, „de Goede" genoemd, die 33 jaar landvoogd van deze gewesten was en over wiens goedheid men honderd jaar daarna nog sprak. Hij schonk de arme vissers, die zelf geen kerk konden bouwen en geen priester onderhouden, een kerk en een priester, die de parochie bediende, eer jaarlijks inkomen. Dit geschiedde 20 maart 1323, de oudste historische datum, die met betrekking tot Koedijk bekend is. Deze gunst zouden de Koedijkers zo hebben geapprecieerd, dat zij Willem III de goede engel noemden. De heer Otto stelt voorts, dat de stichting van Koedijk op 1 januari 1320 plaats vond, al vergeet hij dan dit met bewijzen te staven. En hij laat dan de bevolking het feest van St Nicolaas op 1 januari vieren en dit feest de naam geven van de „Gouden Engel", die zoveel goeds stichtte voor dit noordelijk deel van de huidige gemeente Koedijk. Koedijk- Zuid. dat aan de andere kant van de Daalmeer tegen Sint Pancras aanligt en wellicht later bij Koedijk is Ingelijfd, heeft nooit het feest van de Gouden Engel gekend en viert het ook nu niet. De bewoners daar waren ook niet in de goedheid van Willem III betrokken.
Niet alleen de bejaarde Koediijkers zijn geporteerd voor de handhaving van de traditie van de Gouden Engel, ook de jongeren, die spontaan vorig jaar — en ook dit jaar weer — onder hun leeftijdgenoten een collecte hielden om de feestelijke intocht van de Sint op 28 december te financieren. Enkele jaren geleden probeerde het onderwijzend personeel op 3 en 6 december het St Nicolaasfeest op school te vieren, maar heel Koedijk kwam in opstand. Het was gelukkig' een vergissing, die werd ingezien; vorig jaar en ook dit jaar wordt het feest in pais en vree met de school en de onderwijzers gevierd, op 28 december voor de schooljeugd en naar buiten en op oudejaarsavond in de huiskamers van de echte en onvervalste Koedijker gezinnen."

At this spot the Zanaqu, flowing from right, joins the Zayaqu. They are the two longest branches of the upper Mekong. In 1994 explorer Michel Peissel claimed the head of the Zanaqu was the source of the Mekong, while a simultaneous Sino-Japanese expedition led by Masayuki Kitamura opted for the Zayaqu. Kitamura was proven right: the Zayaqu is indeed the longer and larger river. So the Mekong's source has to be up the Zayaqu.

Arizona is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Its other neighboring states are Nevada to the northwest and California to the west. It also shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. It is the 6th-largest and the 14th-most-populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix, which is the most populous state capital in the United States.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. Historically part of the territory of Alta California and Nuevo México in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848, where the area became part of the territory of New Mexico. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Sunrise, and Tucson. In addition to the internationally known Grand Canyon National Park, which is one of the world's seven natural wonders, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
Arizona is home to a diverse population. About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the country, with more than 300,000 citizens. Since the 1980s, the proportion of Hispanics has grown significantly owing to migration from Mexico and Central America. A substantial portion of the population are followers of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona's population and economy have grown dramatically since the 1950s because of inward migration, and the state is now a major hub of the Sun Belt. Cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have developed large, sprawling suburban areas. Many large companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, have headquarters in the state, and Arizona is home to major universities, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University. The state is known for a history of conservative politicians such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, though it has become a swing state in recent years.

Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Lechee, Arizona. It includes six separate, scenic slot canyon sections on the Navajo Reservation, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), Rattle Snake Canyon, Owl Canyon, Mountain Sheep Canyon, Canyon X and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). It is the primary attraction of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, along with a hiking trail to Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through the (Slot Canyon) rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. They are accessible by Navajo guided tour only.

Australia was approaching its bicentennial celebrations, and after Brisbane’s success hosting the 1982 Commonwealth Games, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland State Government were confident they could win the bid to hold the next World Exhibition.
Brisbane won the right to hold the event and Expo 88 was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 30 April 1988. By the time it closed, it had changed the way the world saw Brisbane and helped shaped the city as we know it today.
Starting with an estimated budget of $645 million, the Queensland State Government developed a World Expo that would recoup and support its own costs and promote international investment in Queensland, both during and after the event. South Bank, badly damaged in the 1973–74 floods, was chosen and the site acquired for $150 million. Developers completed construction on time and within budget. The targets set for ticket sales were reached 11 weeks before Expo 88 had even opened. It was off to a smashing start.
Celebrating ‘Leisure in the age of technology’, there was an incredible range of pavilions, performances, parades, comedy and artwork on show. Guests could experience over 50 restaurants filled with flavours from around the globe. Hosted over six months, it drew more than 18 million people to the renewed South Bank parklands district. An average of 100,000 people a day entered the gates.
An influx of royalty, celebrities and international visitors came to Brisbane for the exhibition, but it was Queensland residents who attended the most often, purchasing 500,000 season tickets. Expo 88 provided something the city needed: an easy-to-access recreational facility with exciting things to do, see and experience. Brisbanites returned again and again to socialise and enjoy the festival atmosphere.
The monorail was one of the most popular attractions. Giving travellers a view of the entertainments from above, it operated along a 2.3-kilometre track during Expo 88, taking up to 44,000 visitors a day from one side of Expo to the other, along the Brisbane River. Built by Swedish manufacturer Von Roll, the monorail cost $12 million and comprised four MkII trains with nine carriages each. The idea of keeping the monorail operating after Expo and extending it into the Brisbane CBD was discussed. Ultimately, the existing monorail wasn’t a feasible long-term people-moving solution and it was disbursed. Three trains were sold back to Von Roll and were used in Germany’s Europa-Park. The remaining train and some tracks were incorporated into the Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast.
Some of the most significant installations, exhibitions and artworks from Expo 88 were relocated and continue to be enjoyed today. Ken Done AM, a prominent Australian artist and designer, was commissioned to produce the entry and exit statement art pieces for the Australia Pavilion. Using the word ‘Australia’, Done produced a sign nearly six metres tall that could not be missed by anyone who attended Expo 88. The letters have since been restored and are on display at the Caboolture Heritage Village. The Nepal Peace Pagoda was the only international pavilion that remained on-site, after a petition asking that it remain attracted about 70,000 signatures. The Japan Garden and Pond were gifted to the city of Brisbane and moved to the Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-Tha.
The buzz of activity, the investment in South Bank’s infrastructure and the spotlight on Brisbane transformed the city. The physical legacy left by Expo 88 turned South Bank into a thriving social space and prominent cultural hotspot: 42 hectares was dedicated to the construction of the South Bank Parklands.

Philadelphia, commonly referred to as Philly, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the second-most populous city in the Northeast megalopolis and Mid-Atlantic regions after New York City. Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to United States history, especially the American Revolution, and served as the nation's capital until 1800. It maintains contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music. Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-most populous city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census and is the urban core of the larger Delaware Valley (or Philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest and one of the world's largest metropolitan regions consisting of 6.245 million residents in the metropolitan statistical area and 7.366 million residents in its combined statistical area.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, an English Quaker and advocate of religious freedom. The city served as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony during the British colonial era and went on to play a historic and vital role as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired the American Revolution and the nation's independence following the Revolutionary War. Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774, preserved the Liberty Bell, and hosted the Second Continental Congress during which the founders signed the Declaration of Independence, which historian Joseph Ellis has described as "the most potent and consequential words in American history". Once the Revolutionary War commenced, the Battle of Germantown and the siege of Fort Mifflin were fought within Philadelphia's city limits. The U.S. Constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia remained the nation's largest city until 1790, when it was surpassed by New York City, and it served as the nation's first capital from May 10, 1775, until December 12, 1776, and on four subsequent occasions during and following the American Revolution, including from 1790 to 1800 during the construction of the new national capital of Washington, D.C.
With 18 four-year universities and colleges, Philadelphia is one of the nation's leading centers for higher education and academic research. As of 2018, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the state's largest and nation's ninth-largest metropolitan economy with a gross metropolitan product of US$444.1 billion. The city is home to five Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as of 2022. As of 2023, metropolitan Philadelphia ranks among the top five U.S. venture capital centers, facilitated by its proximity to New York City's entrepreneurial and financial ecosystems. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, owned by Nasdaq since 2008, is the nation's oldest stock exchange and a global leader in options trading. 30th Street Station, the city's primary rail station, is the third-busiest Amtrak hub in the nation, and the city's multimodal transport and logistics infrastructure, includes Philadelphia International Airport, and the rapidly-growing PhilaPort seaport. A migration pattern has been established from New York City to Philadelphia by residents opting for a large city with relative proximity and a lower cost of living.
Philadelphia is a national cultural center, hosting more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the nation. Fairmount Park, when combined with adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is 2,052 acres (830 ha), representing one of the nation's largest and the world's 45th-largest urban park. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial and Revolution-era history; in 2016, it attracted 42 million domestic tourists who spent $6.8 billion, representing $11 billion in economic impact to the city and its surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
With five professional sports teams and one of the nation's most loyal fan bases, Philadelphia is often ranked as the nation's best city for professional sports fans. The city has a culturally and philanthropically active LGBTQ+ community. Philadelphia also has played an immensely influential historic and ongoing role in the development and evolution of American music, especially R&B, soul, and rock.
Philadelphia is a city of many firsts, including the nation's first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), university (by some accounts) (1779), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks, including Independence Hall. From the city's 17th century founding through the present, Philadelphia has been the birthplace or home to an extensive number of prominent and influential Americans. In 2021, Time magazine named Philadelphia one of the world's greatest 100 places.

Philadelphia City Hall is the seat of the municipal government of the City of Philadelphia in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Built in the ornate Second Empire style, City Hall houses the chambers of the Philadelphia City Council and the offices of the Mayor of Philadelphia.
This building is also a courthouse, serving as the seat of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania. It houses the Civil Trial and Orphans' Court Divisions of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. It also houses the Philadelphia facilities for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania (which also holds session and accepts filings in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh).
Built using brick, white marble and limestone, Philadelphia City Hall is the world's largest free-standing masonry building and was the world's tallest habitable building upon its completion in 1894. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1976; in 2006, it was also named a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

I love these Norwegian oat biscuits, and that is partly because they have freed the recipe on the packet. Think of the possibilities for product development the company can draw from its consumers. A shame they haven't opened for a rich conversation.
