Above: Haalem, Spaarwoude trainstation, last night. 10 [ Dutch ] Gulden note, printed in Haarlem. There is an American filmproduction -- 'Motorama' (1991) by director Barry Shils -- that uses "xeroxed versions" of the Dutch bills as currency for the fantasy country the story takes place in (quote from the director during QandA at the Rotterdam International Filmfestival: "We did some color xeroxing on the 1.").

Above: detail 3 from the GVB train at Haarlem refurbishment and overhaul-depot
"A top-to-bottom whole car covers the entire side of the car, windows and all. Some writers will only do top-do-bottom whole cars, disdaining anything less complete. Others, particularly during periods when the Transit Authority is vigilant, feel that to cover the windows is a waste of time, since these are the first part of the car to be cleaned, and usually with solvent who drips down, streaking the piece below. Window-downs last longer, but the top-to-bottom whole car is the graffiti writer's finest achievement. It is here that he displays his virtuosity […]. The initials […] which accompany the writer's names, stand for their crews. [A crews is: ] a unit of dudes who work together to achieve a goal: to get up and to go all city […] Crews are made up of trusted friends, […] a bunch of brothers that are down by street law with each other. […] There is a strong sense of community within a crew and members will expel those writers who are only out for themselves. […]"
Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant in 'Subway Art', page 74 and 50, first published in Great Brittain by Thames and Hudson Ltd, Londen, 1984

Researchers look boldly to the future, to new medicines, genetic screening, and surgical procedures, yet never ask the question, "Why do we need theses advances?" and "Is there a simpler, better way to health and wellness?" If they were to ask these questions, they would realise that the key to the puzzle is to start at the beginning.": https://bartvanbroekhoven.com/en-US/running/105-along-the-way-sar-12-along-the-way-navel-of-the-world
"Photography is a luminous drawbridge trough which the story has to reach the audience and the audience has to acces the story, the DP and the director have to built it together with the same objectives. Cinema is synthesis: the rapid and ever increasing popularity of the cinema is due to the possibility of concentrating huge amounts of information in its images, and the immediacy of the process with which the eye transmits them to the brain.": http://bartvanbroekhoven.com/en-US/running/95-sar-6-along-the-way

"Both extrinsic as intrinsic muscles control the foot. In the calf the m.gastrocnemius and the m. soleus, who form the achilles tendon, the strongest plantar fexor of the ankle. The subtalar joint has a transfer function; it is rather rigid and transfers the power directly to the talus and foot. The m. peroneus longus produces a high degree of downward pressure from the first metatarsal bone and controls the fine movement of the large toe.[…] The m. flexor hallucis longus and m. flexor digitorum control the bending of the toes during movement and are strong. The muscles that slow down the foot when it touches the ground are the m. tibialis anterior and the m. extensor hallucis longus and brevis. This delay prevents the foot to come down with a blow when making heel contact."
Victor H. Frankel, Margraeta Noridn, Chris J. Snijders in 'Basic Biomechanics of the Skeletal System', page 218, 219, first published in 1980 by Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia
