In the Middle Ages, the Low Countries were situated around the border of France and the Holy Roman Empire, forming a part of their respective peripheries, and the various territories of which they consisted had de facto become virtually autonomous by the 13th century. Under the Habsburgs, the Netherlands were organised into a single administrative unit, and in the 16th and 17th centuries the Northern Netherlands gained independence from Spain as the Dutch Republic. The high degree of urbanization characteristic of Dutch society was attained at a relatively early date. During the Republic the first series of large scale Dutch migrations outside of Europe took place.
Swatch Internet Time (or beat time) is a decimal time concept introduced in 1998 by the Swatch corporation as part of their marketing campaign for their line of "Beat" watches.
Instead of hours and minutes, the mean solar day is divided up into 1000 parts called ".beats". Each .beat is equal to one decimal minute in the French Revolutionary decimal time system and lasts 1 minute and 26.4 seconds (86.4 seconds) in standard time. Times are notated as a 3-digit number out of 1000 after midnight. So, @248 would indicate a time 248 .beats after midnight representing 248/1000 of a day, just over 5 hours and 57 minutes.
There are no time zones in Swatch Internet Time; instead, the new time scale of Biel Meantime (BMT) is used, based on Swatch's headquarters in Biel, Switzerland and equivalent to Central European Time, West Africa Time, and UTC+01. Unlike civil time in Switzerland and many other countries, Swatch Internet Time does not observe daylight saving time.
History
Swatch Internet Time was announced on October 23, 1998, in a ceremony at the Junior Summit '98, attended by Nicolas G. Hayek, President and CEO of the Swatch Group, G.N. Hayek, President of Swatch Ltd., and Nicholas Negroponte, founder and then-director of the MIT Media Lab. During the Summit, Swatch Internet Time became the official time system for Nation1, an online country (supposedly) created and run by children.
Beat is the ninth studio album by the British rock band King Crimson, released in 1982. The halftonequaver image on the cover was designed by artist Rob O'Connor.
"Neal and Jack and Me" is the track most obviously inspired by Beat writers. The 'Jack' of the title is Beat writer Jack Kerouac, while 'Neal' is Kerouac's best friend Neal Cassady. Besides On the Road, the lyrics make references in French to other significant Kerouac works; Les Souterrains, Des Visions du Cody and Sartori a Paris. The song was released as a b-side to "Heartbeat". Musically it picks up where the album and songDiscipline left off, with Fripp and Belew's dueling guitars weaving in and out of patterns in 5 4 and 7 8 time signatures.
"Heartbeat" is also the name of a book written by Neal Cassady's wife Carolyn about her experiences with the Beats.
Beat (Hangul:비트;RR:Biteu) is 1997 South Korean gangster film directed by Kim Sung-su and written by Sam Shin about a high school dropout who is forced into gang life. Jung Woo-sung played the lead Min and Ko So-young his love interest Romy. The plot is based on a bestselling graphic novel by Huh Young-man.
The role solidified Jung as a leading Korean actor and was also based on his real-life experience as a high school dropout. This was the third and final film pairing Jung and Ko, but the director would later work with Jung again in Musa (2001).
Plot
Three friends in Korea all drop out of high school. Min is a feared brawler whose widowed mother is a drunk. The story traces his journey from high school to the underworld as his best friend introduces him to life in the mob. Complicating Min's life further is his love for the volatile Romy, a girl from an upper-class family with dreams of going to a prestigious college.
It is derived from Common Germanic*þiudiskaz. The stem of this word, *þeudō, meant "people" in Common Germanic, and *-iskaz was an adjective-forming suffix, of which -ish is the Modern English form. The Proto-Indo-European root *teutéh2- ("tribe"), which is commonly reconstructed as the basis of the word, is related to Lithuaniantautà ("nation"), Old Irishtúath ("tribe, people") and Oscantouto ("community"). The various Latin forms are derived from West Germanic *þiudisk and its later descendants.
The story involves the production of a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and the conflict on and off-stage between Fred Graham, the show's director, producer, and star, and his leading lady, his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi. A secondary romance concerns Lois Lane, the actress playing Bianca, and her gambler boyfriend, Bill, who runs afoul of some gangsters. The original production starred Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang and won the Tony-Award.
Kiss Me, Kate was Porter's response to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and other integrated musicals; it was the first show he wrote in which the music and lyrics were firmly connected to the script, and it proved to be his biggest hit and the only one of his shows to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway. In 1949, it won the first Tony Award presented for Best Musical.
On March 25, 2015 it was announced that the 1949 original cast recording will be inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the album's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy".
Answer: you just say "no". In America, I used to use phrases like "I'm okay" or "I'm good" to indirectly indicate that I'm saying "no, thanks." This worked perfectly fine until I moved to the Netherlands! Dutch people are known for being direct and this showed when they interpreted my indirectness as saying "yes"! This happened to me a lot of times when I would first visit the Netherlands.

What are Dutch People Like?
In this video I'm walking the streets of the Netherlands asking Dutch people what personality characteristics are most common among the Dutch. Both positive and negative perspectives are included to give you balanced true to life insights.
------
Dutch people's personality traits are often described as having a high degree of directness and bluntness, mostly due to the fact that they have a pragmatic mentality. Common Dutch stereotypes are that they're cheap, good at making cheese and good at making windmills.
When considering the question "what are Dutch people like", tolerant and liberal also comes to mind. Other characteristics are their strong work ethic and their ability to make money. It's ingrained in the Dutch culture that if you work hard, you can make a good life for yourself....

People in the Netherlands often travel by bike, and the country has a strong cycling culture. That's what the Dutch are most known for, and it's what you may see in the news sometimes.
The Netherlands is a popular tourist destination among foreigners, and apart from speaking Dutch, almost all Dutch people are able to communicate in English. So don't be afraid to ask for help. It's not difficult to find someone who can help you out with a short conversation. The Dutch are well-known for their friendliness.

How Swatch tried to reshape our Timing System | Story of Internet Time | Swatch Internet Time |
But in 1998, the Swiss watch company Swatch, working in tandem with the founder of the MIT Media Lab, nonetheless pitched the wild idea of redesigning the time system. They threw out the 24-hour system in order to reshape our timing system.
Instead, they replaced it with something called Internet Time. To find out more about what that was... stay tuned till the very end.

In the late 90s the internet was taking off and the world was becoming more global, but everyone was in different time zones, which could be a pain. Swatch came up with a solution: Internet Time.

Swatch .Beat - The Failure of Internet Time - Bad Ideas #64
The Swatch company wanted to change time as we know it. Using 1000 beats in a day, they would get rid of pesky seconds, minutes, and hours. No longer will we be held under the yoke of the 24 hour system! And it'll be on Swiss international time.

But in 1998, the Swiss watch company Swatch, working in tandem with the founder of the MIT Media Lab, nonetheless pitched the wild idea of redesigning the time system. They threw out the 24-hour system in order to reshape our timing system.
Instead, they replaced it with something called Internet Time. To find out more about what that was... stay tuned till the very end.

The Swatch company wanted to change time as we know it. Using 1000 beats in a day, they would get rid of pesky seconds, minutes, and hours. No longer will we be held under the yoke of the 24 hour system! And it'll be on Swiss international time.

51 parts, 1 central screw, 17 pending patents and a 90 hour power reserve. From the master watchmakers at Swatch: an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement. Pick it up, flip it over—the front tells the time, the back tells the story. Fascinating.

Answer: you just say "no". In America, I used to use phrases like "I'm okay" or "I'm good" to indirectly indicate that I'm saying "no, thanks." This worked perfectly fine until I moved to the Netherlands! Dutch people are known for being direct and this showed when they interpreted my indirectness as saying "yes"! This happened to me a lot of times when I would first visit the Netherlands.
In this video I'm walking the streets of the Netherlands asking Dutch people what personality characteristics are most common among the Dutch. Both positive and negative perspectives are included to give you balanced true to life insights.
------
Dutch people's personality traits are often described as having a high degree of directness and bluntness, mostly due to the fact that they have a pragmatic mentality. Common Dutch stereotypes are that they're cheap, good at making cheese and good at making windmills.
When considering the question "what are Dutch people like", tolerant and liberal also comes to mind. Other characteristics are their strong work ethic and their ability to make money. It's ingrained in the Dutch culture that if you work hard, you can make a good life for yourself.
People in the Netherlands often travel by bike, and the country has a strong cycling culture. That's what the Dutch are most known for, and it's what you may see in the news sometimes.
The Netherlands is a popular tourist destination among foreigners, and apart from speaking Dutch, almost all Dutch people are able to communicate in English. So don't be afraid to ask for help. It's not difficult to find someone who can help you out with a short conversation. The Dutch are well-known for their friendliness.

The culture shock: a Dutch partner!? (= een Nederlandse partner)
- How to love a Dutch person?
- What are typical obstacles in a relationship with a Dutch boyfriend or Dutch girlfriend?
- Are there taboos? Or you can talk about anything you want?
- What about the work-life balance?
- Are Dutch guys real gentlemen?
- And how is it after marriage: a Dutch husband / Dutch wife?
These questions we asked to foreigners who are in a relationship with a Dutch person.

BBC Reel editor Melissa Hogenboom was born in the Netherlands but grew up in the UK. Noticing the two extremes between British politeness and Dutch directness, she explores how much truth there is to the stereotype that Dutch people are direct.

What things have you observed Dutch people do...
... that in your own country would be inappropriate, dirty or disgusting?
Which Dutch habits do you find gros?
What else did you notice in the Netherlands, that made you rise your eye brows?
That's what we asked to foreigners who are learning Dutch.
These are students of the BLC Dutch Summer School.
* Disclaimer: These are foreigners' observations brought with humour. Not all Dutch people do this and not only Dutch people do this!

Welcome to another episode of my life!
Today I want to share with you the cultural shocks that I had when I moved to The Netherlands, especially home related. But I have to say that now I am used to and don't find them weird anymore, maybe a little incovenient especially the one to do my hair but besides that I am very happy with my life in The Netherlands and I am actually very proud of myself that I can adjust easily to different ways of living.
Thank you for being here and for watching my videos.
Have a wonderful day and I will see you in my next video!
Bye ❤️
This expat was shocked about Dutch directness. How was it for you when you just moved to the Netherlands?

In the Middle Ages, the Low Countries were situated around the border of France and the Holy Roman Empire, forming a part of their respective peripheries, and the various territories of which they consisted had de facto become virtually autonomous by the 13th century. Under the Habsburgs, the Netherlands were organised into a single administrative unit, and in the 16th and 17th centuries the Northern Netherlands gained independence from Spain as the Dutch Republic. The high degree of urbanization characteristic of Dutch society was attained at a relatively early date. During the Republic the first series of large scale Dutch migrations outside of Europe took place.
