The #SaarloosWolfdog and #CzechoslovakianWolfdog are two very similar wolfdog breeds which were created by crossing the German Shepherd with a wolf. But even though similar, thery are not identical and especially the temperament is very different. In this video i will tell you what are the differences between the Saarloos Wolfdog and Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.
Saarloos Wolfdogs are not a very aggressive dog breed. However, they may try to chase smaller animals due to their wolf instincts. You will always want to put your dog on a leash when you go for a walk.
Vandaag wordt Monique Holvoet tachtig jaar. Ze is beter bekend als Miek Van Bambost, omdat ze reeds sedert 1965 zowel in het reële leven als op de Bühne een paar vormt met Roel Van Bambost. Onder de benaming “Miek & Roel” zongen ze oorspronkelijk in het Engels covers zoals Dylans Blowin’ in the Wind (waarmee ze derde werden in “Ontdek de Ster”), maar later schakelden ze over op het Nederlands met…

In Dutch the worlds wolfdog ("wolfhond"), as in hybrids or wolfdog breeds (like Saarloos or vlcak) and wolfhound ("wolfshond", with an S), as in the sighthound type, are only one letter away from being identical often leading to confusion
i helped* write a new physics textbook and it has a cool (and free) website: softmatterbook.online
*a little bit. The vast majority of the book was written by van Saarloos, Vitelli, and Zeravcic, but a whole bunch of people contributed little bits of writing (myself included) and are credited in the preface.
This book is an accumulation of some of the most fundamental results in soft matter physics, many of which were first discovered or derived very recently. The website hosts a bunch of extra resources (videos, notes, demos, etc.) sorted by the chapters of the book:
Fluid Dynamics
Elasticity
Brownian Motion
Colloids
Polymers
Liquid Crystals
Interfaces, Surfaces, & Membranes
Pattern Formation out of Equilibrium
Active Matter
From Designing Matter to Mimicking Life
It also lists a whole bunch of labs all around the world that are studying the sorts of systems described in the book, as well as mailing lists you can sign up for, conferences, workshops, youtube channels, and software packages. I'm absolutely biased (see below) but I think it's a really great resource for anybody interested in soft matter!
I spent the first year of my PhD helping to put this thing together. I translated research papers into problems, hunted for typos, and wrote most of the solutions in the instructor's manual. I don't make any money off the book sales (my PI told me they made it available for as cheap of a price as the publisher would allow), but my PhD stipend was funded for the year to work on this thing instead of having to TA.
I was ridiculously lucky to get the chance to work on this thing, even if at times it felt like learning how the academic sausage gets made.
