Simplified family tree of the Rutger branch. The scheme is based on the parents of generation XI. In other words, we only took the members of generation X who had children, and from them we worked our way back to Rutger of generation I who once came from Gorinchem to Utrecht. It means that all ancestors are left out who did not have a descendant belonging to generation XI. For example, Abraham Thomasse van Gorkom and Anneke Heijndricx (generation III) had ten children, but only the eldest and youngest are shown as they are the only ones with descendants belonging to generation XI.

Children of Abraham van Gorkom and Catrijn Abrams Godron (generation V-a74)
Abraham was son of Hendrik Abrahamse and Gerrichje Mierhout (IV-h48) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
VI-g96. Gertruijd
Gertruijd was baptized in the Domkerk on 14 February 1696. She married Wouter Schouten on 7 May 1721. At the time she lived in the Lijsbethstraat (Elisabeth Street). Witnesses of the marriage were the father of the bride, so Abraham, and the mother of the groom. Wouter lived in the Ballemakersstraat (Ballmakers street) at the time of his marriage. The couple had two children, Cornelis Schouten and Catharina Schouten (Kaatje). According to a notarial record, they lived in the Predikheerenstraat (Preachers Street) in 1753.
Both Geertrui and Wouter were merchants or traders, according to a notarial deed of 24 May 1750. They were rather successful and from 1738 on they bought several houses. On 11 April 1753 they donated to son Cornelis a house on the south side of the Neude and on 30 July of the same year daughter Caatje got a house in the Predikheerenstraat (not her parental home), two chambers in the Kloksteegje (Bell Alley) and a house in the Vinkenburghsteegh. This notarial deed mentions that Geertrui had a bad health, but as she was able to think clear and talk well and knew she was going to die, although uncertain about the hour, both she and Wouter wanted to give away their properties when still alive. Geertrui signed the deed herself. She died a few months later on 24 August 1753. Wouter died around 1756.
Son Cornelis owned a store. Although it is not recorded, it might be that he took over the store of his parents. And he did well too and went on buying real estate, farming fields (along the Biltse Grift, a little canal) and bonds. He married twice, first to Beatrix van Ommeren and his second wife was called Stijntje van Doesburg. Cornelis had no children of his own. He died in Utrecht on 4 May 1784, still living at the Neude. Executor of his will was his cousin Jan van Gorkom, son of Isaak. All cousins of Cornelis received a bequest of 1000 guilders as stated in his will.
VI-p97. Pieter
Pieter was baptized in the Domkerk on 1 August 1697. The family address was Bergstraat. Later on in life, this son of Abraham and Catrijn became rather rich as notarial records show. Pieter lived in Amsterdam at the Jan Hansjespad, outside the Raamsgate, jurisdiction Nieuwer-Amstel. He owned the house "De Rynsche Wynbergh", a pleziertuin (recreational garden) and a bleekveld (bleach ground). Apart from that he owned in Amsterdam a house in the Blomstraat, at the north side of the street, west of the Tweede Dwarsstraat (second side-street). He married Anna Margaretha Meyer under prenuptial agreements; this deed was drawn up on 13 September 1763. Pieter was at that time already 66 years old, so it was probably not his first marriage. Maybe the deed itself can give some more information about this. Also we do not know his profession. He died on 31 August 1773 in Nieuwer-Amstel. His heirs were the children of his sister Geertruij and of his brother Isaak. So we may conclude that Pieter had no children of his own. It was nephew Jan van Gorkom, son of his brother Isaac, who settled the inheritance.
VI-m99. Maria
Maria was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 27 July 1699. Witness was Jannetje Godron, probably the mother of Maria's mother, as christenings seem to be an affair of the mother's mother in those days.
VI-i01. Isaac
Isaac was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 17 February 1701. The family address was still Bergstraat. Isaac moved to Rotterdam for some unknown reason. It is in this town that he married Johanna Craal on 30 November 1728, both living in Roozant. Johanna was from Arnhem originally, in the east of the Netherlands. Their oldest child Abraham was born in Rotterdam as well in 1729. Apparently the family moved back to Utrecht between 1729 and 1731 as their other children were born in Utrecht.
Isaac and Johanna owned an uitdragerswinkel, a secondhand shop, as stated in a notarial deed from the much later date of 28 May 1795. It is not unlikely that the store was situated on the west side of the Lange Nieuwstraat (Long New Street), near the Korte Smeesteeg (Short Forger's Alley) on the corner of the Korte Elleboogsteegje (Short Elbow Alley). They had at least ten children. More about these children on the page about generation VII. All children, except the eldest, were born at the same address, Korte Smeesteeg. On 29 march 1751 Isaac died at the address "Lange Nieuwstraat next to the Korte Smeesteeg" and was buried in or near the Catharijnekerk (St. Catharine's church).
Later on Johanna Craal married again, this time to Anthonie Rietveld in Utrecht on 8 July 1752. This new husband therefore became the stepfather of Isaac's children. It was a Roman-Catholic marriage; they married in the parish Dorstige Hartsteeg (Thirsty Heart Alley). It seems that Anthonie was the Roman-Catholic, which was, as a consequence, of great influence on the education of the young children, aged 9, 7 and 3 years old. This education does not seem to have effected son Abraham much. He was already 23 years old, married and not living at home anymore. The rest of the originally protestant family, however, changed into a Roman-Catholic one. No children were born out of the marriage of Anthonie and Johanna. Johanna died on 25 January 1789. Anthonie died on 2 January 1795, living in the Lange Nieuwstraat then.
The notarial deed of 28 May 1795 gives a lot of information about the family situation from about 1750 onwards. When Isaak died the financial situation of the store was far from healthy. In fact the costs and debts were larger than the benefits. Only by zeal and diligence Johanna and her second husband overcame that stage. The store must have moved across the street to a location near the corner of the Zuylenstraat many years later. At the time that Johanna died, the house was not completely owned by the couple yet and eventually son Jan van Gorkom bought the house and store in 1795 for 1450.- guilders. The deed gives an accurate description and overview of the estate and the furnishings of store, home and stable and its value, compiled by daughter Aletta. Later on the store was owned by the descendants of Jan and was developed into an antique shop. In 1915 the shop still existed, but it did not survive the 20th century.
VI-n03. N.N.
From 1703 onwards a sad succession of burials follows. The first one was a nameless child on 26 August 1703.
The second nameless child was buried on 4 December 1704.
The third nameless child was buried on 13 January 1705, just six weeks after the previous one. The mother died a month later on 11 February 1705.
The fourth nameless child was buried on 13 September 1706.
Children of Bartholomes van Gorkom and Stijntje Cornelis van Orsou (generation V-b76)
Bartholomes was son of Hendrik Abrahamse and Gerrichje Mierhout (IV-h48) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
VI-e99. Elisabeth
Elisabeth was baptized in the Domkerk on 20 February 1699.
VI-c01. Cornelis
Cornelis was baptized in the Domkerk on 24 July 1701.
VI-f04. Francijntje
Francijntje was baptized in the Domkerk on 5 March 1704.
VI-b05. Bart
Bart was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 12 November 1705. The family lived in the Slooresteeg. At the time of the christening Bart's father did not live anymore, according to the register.
Children of David van Gorkom and Willemijn Tibing (generation V-dh95)
David was son of Hendrik Abrahamse and Gerrichje Mierhout (IV-h48) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
VI-a21. Annigje
Annigje was baptized on a Christmas day, on 25 December 1721, in the Domkerk. Ten months before her parents married in the same church. In 1721 the young family lived at the Varkenmarkt. Annigje married in the Domkerk too, at the age of 36 to Jacobus Kemp on 27 March 1758. It is possible of course that there was a first husband who has not been traced. This is not very likely though, as the record would have said that she was a widow. It is more likely that she stayed home, until she felt not needed by her mother anymore. She was the eldest sister after all, differing 21 years in age with her youngest brother. At least two daughters were born. In the Jacobi Church, on 24 July 1760, Maria Kemp was baptized. Four years later, on 4 July 1764, Wilhelmina Kemp was baptized in the same church. At both occasions the family was living at the Pauwsteeg. Wilhelmina married Dirk Kraker on 21 September 1790. Six children are known from that marriage.
Mother Anna, widow of Jacobus Kemp, died on 10 February 1801 at the address Op 't Springweg in de weeskameren, leaving behind adult children. She was buried in the Buurkerk.
VI-h23. Hendrikje
A second girl was born, baptized on 6 October 1723. The family was again living at the Varkenmarkt. She married to Casper Sinkstock. In Dutch the family name Sinkstock sounds like it comes from a novel, meaning something like "zinc stick" or "sinking stick". Casper was a soldier in the Bekker regiment.
Hendrikje was witness at the christening of two of the children of her brother Willem and sister-in-law Anna Maria van der Wal. Probably she had no children of her own. On 6 May 1787 she died in the Bergstraat, leaving behind adult friends, and was buried in the Jacobi churchyard.
VI-w25. Willem
Willem was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 14 July 1725. It is the church where many Van Gorkoms were baptized. Sadly this Willem died at the age of just one and half years on 2 January 1727 and was buried at the Jacobi churchyard.
Image to the right is a painting of the interior of the Catharijnekerk as seen in 1636 by Pieter Saenredam. Click here for an enlargement.
A second Willem was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 3 June 1727. Mother Willemijn was already three months pregnant of this second Willem when the first Willem died. It was quite common in those days to pass on a name, when a child died at young age. Willem married Anna Maria van der Wal on 31 October 1755. He was 28 years old then. They had eleven children, who are named on the page about generation VII. The family lived from about 1761 till 1770 in the Hamsteeg bij de Varkensmarkt and from 1771 till 1801 in the Catharijnsstraat. According to one of the birth records mother Anna was a lutheran. Willem died in Utrecht on 11 July 1801 at the age of 74. His wife Anna died half a year later on 1 December 1801, living in the Santstraat.
VI-i29. Isaak
Isaak was baptized on 22 February 1729. We believe it is this Isaak who married Dorothea de Heeger on 17 January 1749. Actually there were two Isaaks at the time, who were second cousins. As the marriage record does not give a clue about either the parents of Isaak, or his age, we had the choice between the Isaak at this place or the other Isaak, who is also on this page (generation VI-i25) and who was born in 1725 as son of Abraham van Gorkom and Anna Maria Olivier, and grandson of Thomas Abrahamse van Gorkom and Sofia van Seventer. We concluded that there were two reasons to decide in favour of the Isaak who was born in 1729 as son of David and Willemijn. In the first place we looked at the names of the children of Isaak and Dorothea. It shows that they gave the names David and Willemina to two of the children, which are the names of the parents of the Isaak of our choice. Furthermore there are two attempts to call a daughter Pieternella. This is not a very common name, but as a matter of fact mother Willemijn had a sister called Peternella.
Second reason to decide for the Isaak who is son of David and Willemijn, is the report of the death of a completely other David van Gorkom, who was married to Willemina Gerrits (generation VII-d66). This David died in Lonneker, at the outskirts of the town of Enschede, on 28 May 1833. He was a son of Gerrit, mentioned below, so son of a brother of Isaak who is son of David and Willemijn, making him also the son of a second cousin of Isaak who is son of Abraham and Anna Maria Olivier. It turns out that the death of David in Lonneker was reported to the authorities by David Wijnand Jennes (generation VIII-a86), a greatgrandson of Isaak who was married to Dorothea de Heeger, and by the brother-in-law of this greatgrandson. In the death report of David from Lonneker these two are called 'cousin' and 'cousin-in-law'. If this David Jennes is indeed a greatgreatgrandson of David and Willemijn (because his greatgrandfather Isaak is son of David), than the grandfather of David Jennes is a first cousin of David in Lonneker. However, if the greatgreatgrandparents of David Jennes are Abraham and Anna Maria Olivier (because his greatgrandfather Isaak is son of Abraham), than the grandfather of David Jennes would have been a third cousin of David from Lonneker. The latter option seems to be less likely.
As a kind of illustration to all confusion, the fathers of the two Isaaks married at nearly the same time. These two fathers were eachothers first cousins David and Abraham. David married on 21 February 1721 and Abraham on 13 March 1721.
At the time of his marriage the Isaak of this section lived in de Catharinastraat (St. Catharine's street). This street is called Willemstraat nowadays and is found in Wijk C (the C-quarter) in the north of the old city, as Mark Wagenbuur (mark @ wagenbuur.nl) informed us. According to his information the Catharinastraat was renamed in 1863 on request of the population of Wijk C, which was known for its loyalty to King Willem III.
The marriage record also tells that Isaak was a church member of an unnamed protestant church. Isaak and Dorothea had at least ten children as mentioned on the page about the next generation (generation VII), and remarkably as well, in 1786 they happened to live in the Lange Smeesteeg (Long Forge Alley), the same Lange Smeestraat where a direct descendant, Emy (generation XIV), was born 200 years later, in 1983. Her birth triggered her father to start researching genealogy, and the foundation of this website was the result of it.
In the days of Isaak it was a small street, more to the south of the city, running from the Oude Gracht towards the Smeetoren (Forge Tower), which was part of the western city wall. On the painting above you see this Smeetoren, as seen from the north. It housed the Astronomical Institute of Utrecht University from 1643 until 1854. The drawing was made in 1843, eleven years before the tower was torn down. The city wall itself had already been demolished in 1831 and following years and replaced by a park in English landscape style, designed by J.D. Zocher Jr and his son—the same landscape architects who designed the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. The church in the background is the Geertekerk (St. Gertrude's Church). The roof to the left is the Bartholomeus Gasthuis, a hospital since 1367, nowadays a nursing home, standing on the corner of the Smeestraat. The same Bartholomeus Gasthuis can be seen behind the tree on the photograph below. On the photograph, you can also see a pattern of darker stones in the middle of the junction, which marks the place where the Smeetower once stood. The street in the middle is the Lange Smeestraat, which you can look down all the way to the Oude Gracht (Old Canal).
Dorothea de Heeger died at home in the Smeesteeg as a widow on 3 February 1816. The report to the register was made by her son David, a bricklayer who was living in the Tugthuissteegje, according to the death record. In the record the first name of his mother is spelled as Theodora, which is a mistake. This is even reason for her greatgranddaughter Johanna Theodora/Dorothea (generation IX-j10) to go to court for a name change. On 23 March 1799 an Isaak van Gorkom died. As he was living in the Lange Smeesteeg, you may assume that it is Dorothea's husband Isaak. The funeral was in the Geertekerk. According to the death record he had money, meaning that the church did not have to pay for the burial. The record also says that he was leaving behind a wife and grown-up children.

VI-j31. Johannes
Johannes was born in the Catharinastraat, nowadays known as Willemstraat. Hw was baptized, more or less around the corner, in the Jacobikerk on 11 March 1731. On 9 June 1752 Johannes married Johanna Serri, also in the Jacobikerk. Johannes was just 21 years old then. It seems they had no children as no birth records were found. They might have moved to another city of course, but this is unlikely as the death record of Johanna was found, stating that she died on 29 November 1789, the funeral being in the Buurkerk.
VI-j33. Jacobus
Jacobus was baptized in the Domkerk on 6 May 1733. On 27 November 1754 he married in the Domkerk as well. His wife was Johanna Milders. Just like Johannes, Jacobus was 21 years old when marrying. They had a twin, called Hendrica and Willemijntje, baptized on 24 November 1754. Willemijntje died six weeks later on 4 January 1755 and was buried door order van 't Gerecht (by court order). The mother was buried three days later on 7 January 1755. On 14 November 1755 Jacobus married Anna Maria Haak. Jacobus and Anna had several children as well as mentioned on the page about generation VII. Anna Maria died on 12 July 1787 and was buried in the Catharine Church. Jacobus van Gorkom died on 8 July 1812 at the age of 79. His son Ary and the son-in-law of his son David, called Steven Bitter, gave notice of his death to the authorities.
Jacobus died in the Oude Mannen- en Vrouwenhuis, the House for Old Men and Women, located at the Oude Gracht.
VI-g35. Gerrit
Gerrit was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 2 October 1735. He was nearly 30 years old, when marrying Cornelia van der Tol in the Catharijnekerk on 16 May 1765. They had at least two children, who are mentioned in more detail on the page about generation VII. Interesting to note, by the way, that Gerrit is the fifth boy in a row that shows regular intervals of two years: births in 1727, 1729, 1731, 1733, 1735 and 1737.
VI-e37. Everd
Everd was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 5 June 1737. He died after ten months on 15 April 1738.
Willemijn was pregnant for seven months already when the first Everd died. As the next child turned out to be a boy as well, they called him Everd again, when baptized on 5 June 1738, exactly one year after the first Everd. It doesn't seem to be a lucky name, as the second Everd died at the age of two, on 21 March 1741.
VI-aa39. Aletta
Aletta was baptized in the Domkerk on 6 September 1739. She probably died as an infant.
Nearly exactly a year after the death of the second Everd, a third Everd was born. He was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 11 March 1742. The family lived in the Koestraat. It is unclear what happened to Everd later on.
Nowadays interior of the Domkerk.
Children of Abraham van Gorkom and Anna Maria Olivier (generation V-a88)
Abraham was son of Thomas Abrahamse and Sofia van Seventer (IV-ta63) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
Cornelis was baptized in the Jacobikerk (James' Church) on 24 April 1721, together with his twin brother Jan. The family lived at the address Oude Gracht in 't Tinnegieterspoortje, meaning "Old Canal, in the Pewter Casters' Gate". This address remained the same for all siblings of Cornelis. His father Abraham had been born at this address, or very close to it as well, just like his aunts and uncles and his grandmother Sofia.
After the death of his parents, Cornelis became the guardian of his younger sister Sophia. It was probably this Cornelis who married in the Domkerk (Dome Church) Cornelia Boden from the Botterstraat on 10 February 1745. Both their parents had supplied permission to marry. Cornelis was a soldier in the regiment of general Baron van Rhede. A child called Mari was baptized in the Domkerk on 11 January 1749, the family address being Botterstraat. Two days later she died and was buried in the Buurkerk. A daughter Cornelia was baptized in the Dom Church on 21 November 1751. Now the address was Lijsbethstraat (Elisabethstraat). Daughter Anna Maria was baptized in the Geertekerk (St Gertrude's Church) on 23 May 1754, while the address of the family was in de Vrouwjuttestraat of Briettesteeg then. Two days later she died and was buried in the Nicolaikerk. The same address, we may assume, was now described as in de Birgittensteeg bij de Lange Nieuwstraat. Last known child of the couple was Sara, baptized in the Domkerk on 22 June 1755. From that date on, hardly any information about this family can be found.
VI-j21. Jan
Jan was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 24 April 1721, together with his twin brother Cornelis. Jan married Hendrina Beverloo in the Domkerk on 25 December 1745, so on the First Day of Christmas. A child Abraham was baptized in the Dom Church on 5 July 1747. They lived at the address Moolensteeg aan de Nieuwe Gracht. It appears that the child died on 26 May 1749. Jan passed away at the address bij de Geertebrug in het Tinnegieterspoortje on 11 September 1760. This home address is also the often mentioned address of his parents who had died seven years earlier. It is not clear whether the same house was meant. On 14 November 1760 Hendrina declared before the Momboir Chamber that her husband had not left any children.
VI-t23. Thomas
Thomas was baptized in the Geertekerk on 13 June 1723. Nearly twenty years later, on 3 February 1743, a Thomas died at the address in het Tinnegieterspoortje aan de Oude Gragt tussen de Smee- en Geertebrug, meaning "in the Pewter Casters' Gate at the Old Canal, between Smeebrug and Geertebrug", the latter being two bridges across the Oude Gracht. Based on this address, it has to be assumed that the Thomas who died here, is the same Thomas who was born in 1723 as a son of Abraham and Anna.
Isaac was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 1 April 1725.
VI-sa27. Sofia
Sofia was baptized in the Domkerk on 31 October 1727. As there was another Sofia soon afterwards, she must have died at young age. It looks like she was buried on 23 September 1729.
VI-s30. Sofia
A second Sofia was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 16 April 1730. At the age of 19, Sophia gave birth to her son Baltus van Gorcom at the address of her parents Op de Oude Gragt. Her mother Maria Olivier was the witness of the baptism of the child in the Catharijnekerk on 3 February 1750. The story of Baltus is a rather odd one. Baltus married Maria Masthout on 24 May 1779, but he used the family name of Frowijn (sometimes spelled as Verwijn). An explanation could be that Baltus was named by his mother after his biological father. Indeed there was living in Utrecht at the time, a Balthasar Frowijn who was old enough to be the father of Baltus, but he was married to Johanna van der Puijl.
Baltus and Maria had three daughters. Sophia Willemina Frowijn was baptized on 30 January 1780. Margaretha Johanna Frowijn was baptized on 9 September 1781 and Hendrina Frowijn on 7 September 1783. Sophia Willemina married in 1804 Jan Lamie, a bricklayer, born in February 1781, son of Jan Lamie and Elisabeth Montfellier. Their son Jan Lamie, so named after his father and grandfather, was born in Utrecht in 1806. The button maker Baltus died on 22 January 1829. It was his grandson Jan Lamie, 23 years old then, who gave notice of the death of Baltus Gorcom, 79 years old, husband of Maria Masthout. He declared that the deceased did not leave any children behind, which is a curious remark. One year later on 3 January 1830 Jan Lamie, 47 years old, father of young Jan, and bricklayer too, gave notice of the death of Maria Masthout, 73 years old, widow of Baltus Gorcom. The deceased left behind adult children, so the son-in-law of Maria and Baltus declared.
Mother Sofia did not stay single after the birth of her son Baltus. On 13 July 1756 she married in Utrecht Sijmen Broekman (Simon). He was some five years younger than his wife. From this marriage six children were born: Elisabeth Broekman was baptized in the Domkerk on 25 February 1757, Abraham Broekman was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 7 September 1758, Cornelis Broekman was baptized in the same church on 18 September 1760, Hendrynxje Broekman was baptized in the Domkerk on 15 September 1764, another Elisabeth Broekman was baptized in the Geertekerk on 24 February 1766 and Maria Broekman was baptized in the Domkerk on 14 June 1769. The family lived Op de Springweg, Caatsteeg buiten de Weertpoort and Molensteeg op de Springweg. Sophia died on 4 March 1802 leaving behind her husband and grown-up children. She and Simon lived in the Jacobikerksteegje then. The widower Simon remarried on 19 June 1804 Josina Penning (Joosje), born in Utrecht in about 1744. Simon died on 16 June 1820, 85 years old in the home for the elderly. His second wife was already deceased.
When son Cornelis Broekman died at the age of 66 in Utrecht on 3 July 1826 his mother was called Elizabeth Verwijn. Wrong first name of course, but the surname Verwijn (Frowijn) appeared once more in this history.
VI-a32. Adrianus
Adrianus was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 5 August 1732.
Children of Isaac van Gorkom and Dirkje Woertman (generation V-i95)
Isaac was son of Thomas Abrahamse and Sofia van Seventer (IV-ta63) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
Johannes was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 14 August 1724. He was buried after two and half weeks on 31 August 1724. The family address was Springweg aan de Wal.
A second Johannes was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 10 September 1726. After the death of the mother the custody for this child was arranged by notarial deed. Johannes is mentioned again in a notarial deed drawn up on 26 February 1733, when his father married his second wife Angenita van der Sluijs. He was 7 years old then.
A Johannes married in the Jacobikerk on 29 June 1752 Johanna Serrie (Sorie), daughter of Max Sorie and Anna Maria Lamie. On 17 March 1754 a son Isaak was baptized in the Domkerk. Unfortunately he died on 9 April of the same year and was buried at the Jacobi Churchyard. The address was Lange Viesteeg. It is the only known born child of this couple. Johanna died on 29 November 1789 and was buried in the Buurkerk. She left behind 'her husband and no children'. Johannes died ten years later on 9 December 1799 and left behind adult family, according to the church record. He was buried in the Buurkerk as well. Both Johannes and Johanna lived at the home for the elderly.
It is not completely certain to which family this Johannes belongs. One possibility is to present him here as a son of Isaac and Dirkje, but he could also be a son of David van Gorkom and Willemijn Tibing (above). It seems more satisfactory to place him in this family. Since Johannes named his son Isaak, it makes more sense to link this Johannes to the parents Isaac van Gorkom and Dirkje Woertman and not to the parents David van Gorkom and Willemijn Tibing. A second important argument is that a Johannes died as a mondige vrijer (adult unmarried man) at the address Catharijnestraat on 31 March 1759, which was the address of David and Willemijn Tiebing at the time.
VI-si27. Sofia
Sofia was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 12 December 1727. The family lived in the Sakkedragerssteeg. She was buried on 19 December 1728.
Children of Isaac van Gorkom and Angerita van der Sluijs (generation V-i95)
Maria was baptized in the Domkerk on 16 September 1733. She died as an infant, as there was another Maria one year later.
Maria was baptized in the Domkerk on 13 October 1734. The family lived at the address Sakkedragerssteeg. She bought real estate from her parents and aunt in 1759 on the south side of the Zandstraat. In 1780 she sold the little house again. Maria never married and died on 2 July 1807, living in the home for the elderly.
VI-z37. Zophia
Zophia, or Sophia, was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 31 March 1737. The family address had stayed the same. Sophia also stayed single and was 86 years old when she died on 27 January 1823. Like her sister she was living in the home for the elderly at the Oude Gracht bij de Jansbrug then.
VI-a40. Anna
Anna was baptized on 15 May 1740. The family still lived at the address Sakkedragerssteeg. Anna is mentioned in a notarial deed of 27 November 1762. For now nothing more is known about her.
VI-j43. Jesina
Jesina, also known as Josina, was baptized in the Domkerk on 27 February 1743. Again, the address was Sakkedragerssteeg. Josina married Arnoldus Duwel. Two children are known: Isac Duwel and Elisabeth Duwel. Isac married Cornelia van den Broek Hazeveld. They divorced on 14 July 1818. Elisabeth Duwel was born in Vianen in about 1768 and married Johannes George Gies, a tailor. George gave notice of the death of his mother-in-law Jesina when she died in Utrecht on 29 July 1824 at the age of 81. She was a widow then, living at the home of her son-in-law and daughter.
VI-i45. Isak
Isak was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 15 November 1745. The family address was still Sakkedragerssteeg. He died on 30 November of the same year.
Children of Johannes van Gorkom and Aartje van Makkum (generation V-j98)
Johannes was son of Thomas Abrahamse and Sofia van Seventer (IV-ta63) and grandson of Abraham Thomasse and Anneken Heijndricx (III-a27).
On 15 March 1723 a nameless child of Jan was buried in the Jacobikerk (St. James's Church).
VI-n24. Nella Margarietta
Nella Margarietta was baptized in the Janskerk (St. John's Church) on 30 April 1724. In the same year, on 9 September, a child of Jan was buried in the Jacobikerk. It was probably this child Nella Margarietta, as a few years later another child was given the same names. Nella Margarietta was named after her grandmother Neeltje Kuijpers. The middle name refers to two relatives. Father Jan had a sister called Margaretha and grandmother Neeltje had a sister, who was called Grietje Kuijpers.
VI-j25. Jelis
Jelis was named after his grandfather Jelis van Makkum. He was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 30 September 1725. Jelis married Petronella Mouton in the Domkerk on 15 December 1756. Already in 1750, though, their first child Johannes was born, son of Jilles van Gorkum and Pieternella Muller, a church record says. The names Petronella Mouton and Pieternella Muller resemble to such an extent that one may assume the same person was meant. Even in 1828, in the death record of daughter Johanna, the name Muller reappears as a corruption of the name Mouton. She was also known as Pieternella Mulder, Maton and Waton.
It means that the first child was almost seven years old, when his parents got married or could marry. A second child was one year and a half at the time. Maybe this late wedding was due to Jelis' profession, as he was a soldier. Most of the children were born in the Wijde Doelen, in the south of the old city, but between 1768 and 1780 the family moved back to the Zakkedragersteeg, the same alley where Jelis and his wife used to live in their childhood. Jelis died there on 19 August 1780 and was buried in the Jacobikerk in the northern part of town, leaving behind his wife and five children. Petronella died on 20 February 1803 and was buried in the Buurkerk, still living in the Zakkendragersteeg. She must have been poor, as in 1780 she was bedeeld door the Aalmoesenierkamer (given money by the Chamber of the Chaplain), having five underaged children. The children of Jelis and Petronella can be found on the page about generation VII.
VI-n27. Nella Margrita
Nella Margrita's family name was also Van Gorkom with an "o". She is the second daughter with these two christian names. She was baptized in the Janskerk on 26 January 1727. She married three times. First (Laurens) Mauritz Verheij in the Domkerk on 7 February 1753. He must have died in about 1762. In a notarial deed of 15 September 1762 the widow Neeltje Margareta and her four minor children Jan Verhey, Geertruyd Verhey, Margareta Verhey and Jelis Verhey were mentioned as heirs. The next day, on the 16th, she would marry Huijbert van Osting in the Jacobikerk. He must have died too, as she married Arnoldus Loschert in the same church on 9 May 1782. Helena Margareta, as she was called now, died at the address Korte Rozendaal on 12 January 1810. She left behind her husband and adult children.
VI-s28. Sophia
Sophia was named after the mother of her father. She was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 17 October 1728. On 8 November 1729 a child of Jan van Gorkum was buried in the Jacobikerk. It must have been this one year old child.
A second Sophia, this time with a Z, was born. She was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 29 October 1730. Soon, again a child of Jan van Gorkum was buried in the same church on 3 November 1730.
Children of Michiel van Gorkom and Maria Smith (generation V-m88)
Michiel was son of Thomas Rutgerse and Dorothea van Daelen (IV-tr63) and grandson of Rutger Thomasse and Magdalena Michielsz (III-r18).
VI-l10. Leendert
Leendert was baptized in the Janskerk on 20 January 1710. The family lived at the address Bij de Jacobibrug. On 23 January 1715 a child of Michiel was buried in the Jacobi churchyard. It might have been this Leendert, as a second Leendert was born soon afterwards.
The second Leendert was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 10 November 1716. The family address was Ballemakerstraat. After two weeks the boy was buried, on 26 November 1716.
VI-d18. Dirck
Dirck was baptized in the Janskerk on 26 June 1718. The address of the family was Achter de Jacobikerk. On 10 July 1742 he married in Utrecht in the Catharijnekerk (St. Catharine's Church) Geertruij Mine. Dirk lived in the Bergsteeg then and Geertruij at the address op de Nieuwe Camp. There were some difficulties to prove Dirk's descent, but by now it is clear that he is a son of Michiel. For instance, Dirk and Geertruij had nine children. Among the names of the children there is a Maria and a Leendert, names of Dirk's mother and brothers. According to the Momboir Registers Dirck declared that his aunt Elisabeth Smit, old spinster from the Bergsteeg, did not have any children when she died. This aunt has the same family name as his mother.
In the same momboir registers can be found that Frans Minnee and Barbara Robberts were the parents of Geertruij Mine. On 21 December 1792 a Dirk died. It must be the son of Michiel and Maria who died in the 'Home for old men and women', leaving behind adult children. Geertruij died one month later in the same home for the elderly on 28 January 1793, being a widow then and leaving behind adult children as well. Dirk was master coppersmith for his profession. There is one notarial deed from 1751 in which Dirk rented a house 'outside the Weertpoort'. Several children were born at that address. They are mentioned on the page about generation VII.
Children of Michiel van Gorkom and Jannigje van Ameleveen (generation V-m88)
On 5 November 1742 a nameless child of Michiel was buried. It was an infant, as it had no name. The family address was Koestraat (Cow Street).
Maria was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 2 February 1744. The family lived at the address Bergstraat (Hill Street). Soon afterwards she died and was buried in the same church on 7 February 1744.
Children of Wilhelmus van Gorkom and Dorothea van Woensel (generation V-w90)
Wilhelmus was son of Thomas Rutgerse and Dorothea van Daelen (IV-tr63) and grandson of Rutger Thomasse and Magdalena Michielsz (III-r18).
Thomas was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 17 November 1729. The address of the family was Ballemakerstraat.
VI-c32. Cornelia
Cornelia was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 1 October 1732. The address had remained the same.
Children of David van Gorkom and Francijn Nieuwenaar (generation V-dt95)
David was son of Thomas Rutgerse and Dorothea van Daelen (IV-tr63) and grandson of Rutger Thomasse and Magdalena Michielsz (III-r18).
VI-m28. Magdalena
Magdalena was baptized in the Domkerk on 3 March 1728. The family address was Achter Clareburg. This Magdalena died within two years, as there was a second Magdalena.
VI-d29. Dorothe
Dorothe was baptized in the Domkerk on 9 November 1729. The family address was Sloresteeg.
A second Magdalena was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 7 July 1731. The family address was Achter Clareburg again.
VI-l33. Leena
Leena was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 13 October 1733. It seems to be the third Magdalena, as Leena is derived from this name. The family address was Achter Clareburg.
VI-af39. Annigje
Annigje was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 22 February 1739. Now the family lived in the Watersteeg.
Children of Henricus van Gorkom and Christina Berkmans (generation V-h97)
Henricus was son of Thomas Rutgerse and Dorothea van Daelen (IV-tr63) and grandson of Rutger Thomasse and Magdalena Michielsz (III-r18).
Adrianus was baptized in the Catharijnekerk on 9 April 1726. The family address was Sakkedragerssteeg.
VI-a29. Albertina
Albertina was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 30 January 1729. Again, the family address was Sakkedragerssteeg. On 10 April 1730 a child of Henricus was buried.
Thomas was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 18 January 1731. The family address was Sakkedragerssteeg. He will have died as an infant, as there was a second Thomas.
VI-d33. Dorothea
Dorothea was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 29 March 1733. The family address was Drakenborgsteeg this time. Maybe this is the same as Sakkendragerssteeg, as Drakenborg is a fortified house on the corner of the Sakkendragerssteeg.
A second Thomas was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 30 May 1734. The family address was In de Waard, outside the city walls.
VI-h37. Hermannus
Hermannus was baptized in the Domkerk on 9 January 1737. The family address was Achter Clarenburg. On 19 June 1737 a child of Henricus was buried.
VI-r39. Rhut
Rhut was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 8 July 1739. The family address was Sakkedragerssteeg again. On 18 October 1739 another child of Henricus was buried.
Children of Henricus van Gorkom and Marie van Dumen (generation V-h97)
On 4 March 1744 a child of Henricus was buried. The family address was Sandstraat.
VI-c46. Christina
Christina was baptized in the Domkerk on 13 July 1746. The address was Aan de Waertpoort.

Xubuntu 64bit live cd Release Candidate.
After starting, jockey notify that there are restricted driver available, but the jockey icon in gnome-panel is missing.
Still present in Maverick Alpha 2.
I can confirm this issue. While there is square where the icon should appear, only the background actually seems to show up in the panel.
Still present in pre-RC ISO.
I confirm it in Final Release.
If this is a live cd desktop, do we want to install hardware drivers? I think those users experienced enough to want hardware drivers are experienced enough to open the menu, System, Additional Drivers, and install them.
Additional information: Unlike Ubuntu with Unity, the hardware driver is not required to give the users a good experience installing in Xubuntu.
1) I don't think this is a live cd issue, I guess the bug appears also on an installed system. Moreover it's not the notification popup that is missing, but the icon, see the image in attachment. Probably it's not in the icon folder where it should be. Practically speaking It's a cosmetic issue.
2) I don't agree with you, what about some proprietary driver needed to get wireless or audio working?
Actually, this particular bug is against the live cd. As stated in the description above.
It seems to be fixed in Natty 20110412 pre-Beta 2 release.
Now icon is shown correctly .


The American Diabetes Association was recently notified about an instance of potential image reuse and duplication involving this article. This instance involves the use of the same source file to create images in multiple articles. The source image can be accessed by copying the underlying file of the left "Tubulin" panel of Fig. 1E in the paper-in-press version of a 2011 Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) article by Ardestani et al. (1), which was published on 10 March 2011 and is available at http://www.jbc.org/content/early/2011/03/10/jbc.M110.210526.full.pdf. It should be noted that the 2011 JBC paper was retracted in November 2015 (2).
The American Diabetes Association is concerned that the source file used to create the images in the 2011 JBC paper was previously used to create images in the above-cited article, as well as another 2006 Diabetes article (Diabetes 55:2713–2722) (3) by the same laboratory.
In this article, the "Actin, 96 h" strip in Fig. 3D appears to derive from lanes 6–11 of the source file used to create the images in the 2011 JBC paper, with contrast and size adjustments. In Diabetes 55:2713–2722, the "Actin 42 kDA" strip of Fig. 3B appears to derive from lanes 4–9 of the source file, with horizontal rotation and contrast and size adjustments. As such, and after accounting for the size, orientation, and contrast adjustments made to each figure, lanes 3–6 of the "Actin, 96 h" strip in Fig. 3D of this article and lanes 3–6 of the "Actin 42 kDA" strip of Fig. 3B in Diabetes 55:2713–2722 appear to be duplicates.
The American Diabetes Association contacted Kathrin Maedler and corresponding author Marc Y. Donath to report these concerns and to request the original source files for review, but the authors explained that they no longer have access to the original source materials for these 2006 reports. As such, the ESP remains concerned that Fig. 3B of Diabetes 55:2713–2722 and Fig. 3D of this article are related. The Panel has contacted the University of Zurich to request an institutional investigation of these recently reported issues, and Diabetes will make a final decision on the publication status of this article after the journal obtains more information on the reliability of the data and conclusions presented in the article.

Deadly storm brings hail, flooding and 132 reports of tornadoes in central US
By: CNN Newsource
A deadly spring storm unleashed drenching rain, flash flooding and hail in the central United States -- along with more than 130 reports of tornadoes in five days.
At least one person drowned in Oklahoma after driving around a barricade on a road in Perkins, the city's Emergency Management office announced.
A majority of tornadoes were in Kansas and Missouri, CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said. Of the total number, Friday had the most tornadoes reported at 39 and Tuesday was a close second at 32.
About 28 million people are under the threat of severe weather Wednesday, mostly in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio, CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said.
Tornadoes and rain
The extreme weather is not just limited to tornadoes.
Parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri had more than three inches of rain in the past 24 hours, and are still under flood warnings, the National Weather Service said Tuesday night.
And severe thunderstorms, large hail and some tornadoes are expected from Missouri and western Illinois, to parts of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. In some parts of Illinois, the main threats will be heavy downpours, lightning and wind gusts of up to 35 mph, the National Weather Service said.
But not in Chicago, where forecasters had more upbeat news.
"Enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures on Wednesday," the National Weather Service's Chicago office tweeted . "Through the holiday weekend, the warmer weather will stick around, but there will also be periodic chances of showers and thunderstorms through the holiday weekend."
Water rescues
In Oklahoma, the extreme weather was still a concern Wednesday, with the National Weather Service saying it'll continue to monitor the area due to a risk of severe thunderstorms across central Oklahoma into western north Texas.
After the drenching rain, rescuers such as the Broken Arrow Fire Department posted harrowing videos of people being pulled out of gushing flood waters and warned people to avoid flooded roads.
Firefighters responded to a car swept off the roadway Tuesday and found a man clinging to a fence post, unable to get out of the water, CNN affiliate KOKI reported.
The rescue team deployed a life safety rope and got in the water to climb to the victim. They gave him a flotation device and pulled him to safety.
Flooding risks
Storms have repeatedly hit the same areas recently, making the Plains and the Midwest more vulnerable to flooding.
Serious river flooding -- including along the already swollen Mississippi River -- is expected in the central US as more rain falls over the region in the next few days.

RGS helping with equipment for our NHS
RGS Worcester has been busy this week supporting the national call for assistance with providing equipment to the NHS. The Design and Technology Department at the school submitted a design for face visor masks and received the go-ahead to start production. Using the School's laser cutter, a prototype was made and trialled by an RGS parent who is a medical worker and proved successful. Conversations were had with a surgeon in Leicester also known to the design team while on his ward rounds!
Initially, the sourcing of polypropylene to make the visors was a challenge but a trip to Leicester to collect this material and the production of visors is now underway. Over 100 visors have now been completed with the aim of producing around 600. Gwilym Batchelder, Head of Design Technology commented: "We looked at using 3D printing for the visors but this was going to take 4-5 hours per visor. We then modified the design and changed to using the laser-cutter which is a much faster process. We are hoping to produce several hundred of these visors for the NHS to use over the next few weeks. I would like to recognise the efforts of my colleagues and in particular Mr Robin Holt, who has helped me throughout this project."
In addition, at the beginning of the week, the four RGS Worcester schools supplied 338 sets of goggles from the Science and Design Technology departments for use by NHS medics.
Headmaster, John Pitt, said: "It is great that we are able to use some of the School's resources to support the NHS at this critical time. As well as providing education for Key Workers' children, the supply of the goggles and visors, I hope, will make a difference, and provide much-needed support for those on the front line."

World-class customer satisfaction is not just our #1 goal. It's an obsession. We rigorously monitor, measure and constantly improve at all levels on a daily basis. Driven by our e3 mantra, our clients, co-workers and suppliers will experience excellence from experts in every interaction. Everyone at Gregg is fully committed to go above and beyond to meet your needs — whether you're considering, implementing, or adding capabilities to a system.
Our customers, coworkers and suppliers will experience excellence from experts on every interaction.
Our wide range of services — from network assessment, to project management, system implementation, training and ongoing support — ensures that your Gregg Communications system exceeds your expectations. To understand our commitment to you in the future, it's essential to have a good understanding of our past. Gregg Communications began in 1967, and since then, we have represented 15 different manufacturers. Our average manufacturer/dealer relationship has lasted more than 15 years. That's how Gregg delivers the long-term stability of our company, along with close supplier relationships, and extends that to the relationship with all of our clients.
There is a very appropriate example of how well Gregg supports its customers with one of our oldest suppliers. We installed 70 of their ACD systems during 1986 and 1987 that were still in operation in 2003, 17 years later. The manufacturer discontinued production and support of these products in 1990. Thus, for over 20 years, Gregg was able to support these systems with no manufacturer assistance or manufacturer provided parts.
The time frame in this example is not out of the ordinary for the length of time that some of our customers will continue to benefit from the systems they purchase from us. Because of the quality of the products we have supplied, and due to Gregg's commitment to exceptional support of those products, the time frame that Gregg has supported its products typically exceeds the point in time at which the manufacturers discontinue support.
If you are looking for products or services not listed on our site, please ask. We'll let you know if we're aware of any good companies in other industries as well.
We have been able to do an excellent job in this area because of the quality of our people. Gregg has attracted and retained highly dedicated and talented people to supply and support products to our clients. The average salesperson has been with Gregg over 19.6 years, and the tenure of our support personnel is over 13.7 years. Therefore, the experience and expertise is already resident within our company when dealing with almost all support issues. We rarely require support from the manufacturer. In fact, over the years, several manufacturers have come to us and/or referred other Dealers to us for help in solving problems!
Contact us today, and we'll be happy to schedule an appointment with you to discuss your particular business needs.

enhance their posture, whether they desire a man's stays, or are transgendered.
ROMANTASY's corsetieres specialize in fitting curvy ladies and gentlemen in top quality "cuddly-sized" corsetry.
We have successfully produced a corset for a client having a 60-inch waistline.
Not only do we accommodate robust waistlines, we can readily contour corset bodices to accommodate full bosoms with an underwire style ( "The Rose" corset by Jill provides an example), or with a standard, vertically-boned corset. Either one provides excellent support. We have successfully produced a corset for a client with a 58-inch bosom measurement.
Regina is one of our lovely full-figured clients who over several years has ordered a number of corsets from our team. She is pictured on the left in our dramatic dragon-applique corset. This stunning corset was designed by her husband Peter, and produced by Sharon McCoy Morgan/Altered Tyme Corsetry for ROMANTASY.
Note the excellent fit and torso support provided to Regina and other clients pictured in our gallery of full figure clients wearing gorgeous overbust or underbust styles.
Many clients begin with an underbust corset style, or sometimes the longline Edwardian style, until they reshape their figure, then return for an overbust style as a reward.
However, to relieve pressure on tender shoulders, some clients prefer to begin with an overbust style which supports the lower back and obviates the need to wear a brassiere. The choice is yours to make!
We recommend that a full-figure customer not wait to order even if he or she is on a diet or in a workout program. We advise any client who has been considering liposuction, lap band, or gastric bypass surgery to first consider corset waist-training, at much less expense and risk, with possibly or probably good results in a few short months.
Many order their corset now to boost progress forward with exercise programs, and good nutrition. That beneficial result or corseting develops for most clients because hunger is a problem that defeats many diets and our best intentions. Simply wear your corset as you cook or dine to control your portions and appetite. In an amazingly short time period hunger usually diminishes and even disappears.
A well-fitted, comfortable quality corset requires care to obtain the proper measurements. We will provide individualized, personal assistance regarding measurements.
A muslin - clients ordering an underbust style for waistlines of 40" and above, might order a muslin to test and allow adjustments before the final corset is produced. A muslin is included in all overbust styles at no charge.
One-half inch boning in place of standard 1/4" boning.
An extra one-half inch bone alongside the front busk and alongside the back grommets to smooth the torso and so that bones do to twist and dig in.
A stiffer front busk, chosen from the following: extra-wide steel busk, wedge busk, or spoon busk, in place of the lighter-weight spring steel busk.
A short, diagonal bone placed a the side of the corset bodice to ensure that the sideview is straight and avoids "toothpaste" of unsightly flesh spilling over the edge of the corset.
A stainless-steel wide underbone in the flap beneath the busk; this renders the corset super strong and straight- fronted.
A rounded bottom perimeter shape for best tummy control.
We also recommend that you take advantage of our service of review of confidential jpg images of the torso-measuring process as shown on our measurement page. You may also order our extended email or Skype service to watch you measure or to fit your muslin.

Monsoon vigorous over TN, East and North-East India
Vinson Kurian Thiruvananthapuram | Updated on July 10, 2020 Published on July 10, 2020
Indifferent over South Peninsula, Central India
East and North-East India are getting a severe pounding from a monsoon which is behaving indifferently over the rest of the country in signs that it has entered a weak phase. But this is also the phase when the East Coast as well as Odisha, Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu make gains as part of the season.

Beneo invests 50m euro in Belgium rice starch plant
Emma Upshallon: July 09, 2020In: Bakery, Business, Confectionery, Food, Funding & Investments, Industries, Ingredients, Manufacturing
Beneo has announced a €50 million investment into its Wijgmaal rice starch facility, which it claims will see production capacity increase by 50%.
Located in Belgium, the Wijgmaal plant will see the addition of a new production line which Beneo says will cater to the rising customer demand for its rice starches. The company claims that its trials have shown that clean label rice starch can play an important role in applications such as baked goods, confectionery, sauces and dressings.
The investment consists of a two-stage expansion process valued at €50 million and will reportedly lead to increased capacity by March 2022. The first phase of the investment will include the installation of a third drier and dewatering line, which will allow the company to reduce bottlenecks and further increase efficiency.
According to Beneo, rice starch is an ideal ingredient for the development of products that responds to the clean label trend. It can be used to fill up all of the micropores on the surface of coatings, which reportedly benefits confectionery manufacturers since it ensures a stable result where edges do not crack or splinter.
Since January 2020, titanium dioxide, which is used to fill microscopic irregularities in coatings, is no longer permitted for use in food products in France. Beneo says there are expectations that other EU markets may follow the country in banning the additive.
Roland Vanhoegaerden, operations managing director, speciality rice ingredients at Beneo, said: "We fundamentally believe in the value of this investment, with demand for rice starch coming from both natural and organic growth, as well as from new projects and applications.
"One of the key reasons for our confidence is the 'clean label' trend, where food manufacturers are moving away from artificial additives and replacing them with natural alternatives, such as rice starch."
In recent years, Beneo has invested in the docking station at its Wijgmaal plant enabling two-thirds of its rice raw material to be received by barge and just one-third by truck.
"The impact is on cost saving, but also on the environment, due to lower carbon emissions and a reduction in traffic. Our factory is in the middle of an urban area and by increasing barge use, we can reduce congestion and noise levels in the neighbourhood," added Vanhoegaerden.
During the course of the expansion, 20 full-time positions will be created, adding to the current 180 people working at the factory.
The recent investment closely follows Beneo's announcement to invest €50 million to expand the production of chicory root fibre at its factory in Chile.

Food Aid Before Eid: Free rice for 1 crore poor
Govt allocates one lakh tonnes for VGF card holders in 492 upazilas and 328 municipalities
Rejaul Karim Byron and Mohiuddin Alamgir
The government is set to distribute 10-kilogramme rice for free to each of over one crore "ultra-poor and destitute families" ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
The food aid will be given to 1,00,06,869 vulnerable group feeding (VGF) card holders across the country to mitigate the consequences of disasters like flood and coronavirus outbreak.
The disaster management and relief ministry yesterday sent a letter to all the offices concerned and asked the deputy commissioners of all districts to inform the respective lawmakers about the allocation.
The letter also asked the officials to collect the allocated rice by July 28.
"We have made the allocation so that people can have some food stocks during the festival," Disaster Management and Relief Secretary Md Mohsin told The Daily Star yesterday.
These ultra-poor and destitute people, especially those belonging to women-headed households, are at risk of starvation and malnutrition amid this pandemic, said government officials.
Most of the poor are facing financial hardship and struggling to maintain their families as coronavirus has battered the economy.
Many have lost their jobs or are experiencing pay cuts as most businesses and offices remained closed during the 66-day countrywide shutdown beginning at the end of March.
Businesses and offices started to open on limited scale last month but the momentum is yet to be back. Economists predict that it will be tough for the country to see economic normalcy soon.
According to the ministry letter, they have allocated 1,00,068 tonnes of rice for the all the 1,00,06,869 VGF card holders of the country.
Of the card holders, 87,79,203 are from 492 upazilas and 12,27,666 from 328 municipalities. A total of 87,792 tonnes of rice have been allocated for the upazilas and 1,227 tonnes for municipalities.
According to the letter, the ultra-poor and destitute families will need to meet at least four out of 12 criteria, to become eligible for receiving the assistance.
The criteria include landless households or those who have only homestead; households dependent on daily wage labour; households dependent on women's income or begging; households with no income-generating assets; households headed by widowed, divorced or separated women; households headed by a freedom fighter with disability, and households without access to two full meals a day for most of the year.
Only one beneficiary per household can receive the food aid, which will be distributed by local public representatives.
The letter also asked for redistribution of the VGF cards for unions and wards based on the 2011 census.
Secretary Mohsin said many card holders may have died and that is why officials concerned will recheck the list before handing over the assistance.
Speaking on the issue, noted economist Hossain Zillur Rahman said the government has been providing food aid to VGF cardholders for the last several years during the Eid festivals.
"But this year it was much needed as they are bearing the brunt of coronavirus crisis that has hit hard our economy," said Zillur, also executive chairman of Power and Participation Research Centre and a former caretaker government adviser.
He also suggested that urban slum dwellers should be provided with food for free as the VGF assistance is only for rural poor.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has so far announced stimulus packages, which is around 3.7 percent of Bangladesh's GDP, to offset the shock of Covid-19 pandemic in various sectors.
Finance ministry officials said in the current fiscal year, the government will distribute or sell at lower prices 31.37 lakh tonnes of food grains among the poor and low-income groups to protect them from food insecurity.
In the last fiscal year, it was 27.29 lakh tonnes.
This apart, the government also plans to expand the food friendly programme and Open Market Sales (OMS) of rice and flour at subsidised rates. It will sell 19.80 lakh tonnes of food grains in this fiscal year under the schemes, a significant rise from 14.97 lakh tonnes from the last fiscal.
In this fiscal, the government allocated Tk 6,176 crore as subsidy in food sector for sale of the food grains at lower prices or free distribution -- an increase from last fiscal's Tk 4,692 crore.

Vietnam to increase rice exports to EU under EVFTA
Asia News Network | Publication date 09 July 2020 | 22:55 ICT
Vietnam earned $1.71 billion from exporting nearly 3.5 million tonnes of rice in the first half of this year, up 17.9 per cent in value and 4.4 per cent in volume year-on-year. VIETNAM NEWS AGENCY/VIET NAM NEWS
Rice quotas for Vietnam under the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) are expected to push the country's rice exports up from the second half of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) said.
Under the EVFTA effective from August 1, the EU pledges to provide an annual rice quota of 80,000 tonnes to Vietnam and completely liberalise trade in broken rice. After three to five years, tariffs on rice products will be slashed to zero per cent.
MoIT's Department of Import and Export deputy director Tran Thanh Hai said Vietnam had a modest value at $10.7 million from rice exports to the EU owing to the high import tariffs in the market.
At present, the EU's import tariffs for Vietnamese rice is €175 ($200) per tonne of milled rice, €65 per tonne of broken rice and €211 per tonne of paddy.
Hai told the Hai quan (Customs) newspaper: "The rice quotas of 80,000 tonnes to Vietnam according to the commitments in the EVFTA is an opportunity for Vietnam to enhance its rice exports to this market, which has annual demand of about 2.5 million tonnes of rice."
Meanwhile, the EU also sets a range of conditions for those quotas such as origin certificates on Vietnamese rice. The rice exported to EU must have authenticity certificates issued by Vietnamese authorities.
To take advantage, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the MoIT are compiling a draft decree guiding the registration process for certification of rice categories exported to the EU to submit to the government for approval.
According to the draft, eligible rice varieties exported to the EU must meet Vietnam's technical standards and regulations on quality, region cultivating rice varieties, and processes of harvesting, preserving, grinding, milling and packaging rice.
Pham Thai Binh, director-general of the Can Tho city-based Trung An High-tech Agriculture JSC, said Vietnamese rice meeting the requirements to enter the EU with low tariffs would help Vietnam increase its rice exports in the future.
"When the tariff for Vietnamese rice is reduced to zero per cent, it gives local rice products more advantages in competing with rice from Cambodia and other countries in the EU market," Binh said.
The agricultural sector expects to significantly increase exports of many key products until 2025 thanks to the EVFTA, such as rice (up 65 per cent), sugar (eight per cent), pork (four per cent), forestry products (three per cent) and cattle and poultry meat (four per cent).
However, those products must overcome many trade barriers of the EU, such as technical barriers on origin, product quality and intellectual property protection.
Therefore, experts said that local farmers and businesses in the agriculture sector have to improve production capacity and product quality, find export markets and build brands for agricultural products.
In the long term, strict regulations on quality standards for exported Vietnamese agricultural products, including rice, would force the agriculture sector to undertake comprehensive restructuring in production and business.
Vietnam earned $1.71 billion from exporting nearly 3.5 million tonnes of rice in the first half of this year, up 17.9 per cent in value and 4.4 per cent in volume year-on-year, data from MARD show. Last month alone, 409,000 tonnes of rice worth $207 million was shipped abroad.
The Philippines was the top buyer between January and May, importing 1.3 million tonnes of Vietnamese rice worth $598.6 million, or 40 per cent of total rice exports. They were up 23 per cent in volume and 42 per cent in value from a year earlier.
During the first five months, markets to which the value of rice exports enjoyed the strongest year-on-year growth were Senegal (18.3-fold), Indonesia (2.9-fold), and China (2.3-fold).
Meanwhile, rice export prices increased 13 per cent from the same period last year to average $485 per tonne.

LANDBANK delivers P2.65-B aid to 530,000 rice farmers amid COVID-19
By Panay News
THE Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA), has distributed a total of P2.649 billion to 529,816 rice farmer-beneficiaries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic across 26 provinces, under the DA's Financial Subsidy to Rice Farmers (FSRF) Program.
As of July 1, 2020, a total of 61,928 rice farmers claimed their cash benefits through their existing LANDBANK ATM Cash Cards while 467,888 farmers received their financial assistance in designated pay-out sites nationwide.
Through the FSRF Program, small rice farmers tilling farms with an area of one hectare or less received P5,000 each to supplement their production budget and family income.
"In partnership with the Department of Agriculture led by Secretary William Dar, LANDBANK continues to deliver much-needed financial aid to small palay farmers nationwide during these difficult times.

Agri groups to DA: What's real score on current rice supply?
ByJasper Y. Arcalas

VARIOUS rice and agriculture industry groups have urged the Department of Agriculture (DA) to be "more transparent" on the real score of the country's current rice supply situation as data provided by the department indicated apparent discrepancies.
Federation of Free Farmers National Manager Raul Q. Montemayor said the DA's recent pronouncement that the country's current rice inventory of 2.7 million metric tons (MMT), equivalent to 82 days of consumption, is somehow misleading.
Montemayor explained that the 2.7 MMT stock level is sufficient only to last for about 76 days at a 35,369.57 MT daily nationwide consumption rate—this, based on a per-capita consumption of 118.81 kilograms and a population of 108.66 million, which the DA uses in its projections.
Furthermore, Montemayor said their estimates show that supply stocks at the start of July 1 may be at 2.4 MMT, which is a tight volume to consider since it is only good for 68 days of consumption.
Montemayor explained how they arrived at the 2.4 MMT volume: with an 8.2 MMT estimated palay production in the first semester, combined with the 2.675 MMT beginning inventory and 1.5 MMT rice imports to date, less the estimated total utilization of 7.13 MMT.
Montemayor questioned the DA for seemingly changing, from time to time, the per-capita consumption they use in their supply projections and current supply stock estimate.
"We urge the DA to be more transparent in how they arrive at their inventory estimates. For example, they should divulge their estimates of local palay production and the per-capita rice consumption figure that they use," he told the BusinessMirror.
"They should also explain why their stock estimates keep on changing every time they make an announcement," he added.
Asked by the BusinessMirror, the DA said the bulk of the 2.7 MMT current rice supply is held by households and commercial warehouses, without divulging exact figures of each segment.
The BusinessMirror also sought comments from the National Food Authority (NFA) on their current buffer stock level but they did not respond as of press time.
Rice Watch and Action Network Executive Director Hazel Tanchuling said the government needs to divulge the real volume of rice being held by the NFA in light of Pagasa's forecast that at about 10 to 17 tropical cyclones will enter the country this year.
NFA stocks are now solely used for buffer stocking during calamities following the implementation of the rice trade liberalization law last year.
"It is very hard to rely on the goodness of the hearts of traders to offer cheap rice in a disaster situation. It should be NFA. And because we do not know their stock level and with the foiled importation by the Philippine International Trading Corp., it is possible that the government has less than the mandated 30-day stock level," Tanchuling told the BusinessMirror.
BASED on the data obtained by the BusinessMirror, the DA projects total rice supply demand this year at 14.536 MMT, about 12.91 MMT of which are for food consumption.
The DA arrived with the 12.91 MMT rice demand for food consumption using a 108.66 million population multiplied by a 118.81 kilogram per capita consumption based on Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data.
The BusinessMirror learned that the 118.81 per kilogram per capita figure used by the DA is based on the PSA's supply and utilization account (SUA) figures, a data set that some pundits have questioned to be unreliable in estimating food demand.
The SUA uses the so-called disappearance method which treats rice consumption as merely residual after computing rice stocks and removing exports and waste, among others.
Nonetheless, using DA's own figures, a BusinessMirror analysis indicated that indeed, the 2.7 MMT current stock is only equivalent to 76 days and not 82 days.
The 2.7 MMT would be equivalent to 82 days of consumption if the daily consumption rate is lowered to 32,926.83 MT, which would mean a lower per capita consumption of 110.6 kilograms, BusinessMirror analysis showed.
Based on official food consumption survey (FCS) data of the PSA, the country's rice per capita consumption as of 2015-2016 is nearly 110 kilograms.
In 2018, the BusinessMirror published a long-form article explaining how the government uses two sets of data that can result in data discrepancies that make rice demand and supply difficult to evaluate.
A mere 1-kilogram reduction in the estimated per capita rice consumption of Filipinos is already equivalent to 108.66 million kilograms or 108,660 metric tons.
Government officials admitted to the BusinessMirror that they indeed face discrepancies in using the FCS data and the SUA figures in evaluating the country's rice supply and harmonizing the two data sets is close to, if not totally, impossible. (Read the BusinessMirror's award-winning BroaderLook special report: https://businessmirror.com.ph/2018/08/30/snapshot-of-rice-consumption-data-remains-grainy-as-pinoys-grapple-with-supply-prices/)
Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Inc. (Pcafi) President Danilo V. Fausto said the government should establish a sound data system so it does not resort to "guesstimates" that may put the country's supply in jeopardy.
"We ask the DA to review their estimates based on actual data. We run the risk of having a shortage of rice if we do not have reliable data that could cause prices to spike," Fausto told the BusinessMirror.
"A difference of 3 kilograms in per-capita consumption computations for example is huge. That is already equivalent to 300,000 metric tons which is what the PITC wanted to import earlier," Fausto added.

In Memory: Kenneth Collins
USA Rice extends condolences to the family and friends of Kenneth Collins, of Gridley, California, who passed away July 2, at the age of 65. He is survived by his wife, Rebecca, children Tarah and Andrew, and four grandchildren.
Ken learned the importance of hard work at a young age and did all types of jobs to support himself including driving logging trucks before finding his true passion, rice farming. He founded Biggs Farming in 1985 and dedicated 38 years to growing rice.
In 1999, Ken was named California Rice Farmer of the Year. He served on many agricultural boards; most notably for 20 years with Farmers' Rice Cooperative (FRC), where he spent the last 12 years as vice chair.
"Ken Collins was an integral part of the transformation of FRC into a modern-day efficient marketing and milling organization," said Charley Mathews, Jr., fellow California rice farmer and chair of FRC. "When FRC had its challenges, Ken never waivered and was as steady as anyone I know. But most of all, he had a presence about him no matter where he went, either in Washington DC or at home. His is a great legacy. Ken will always be remembered and certainly missed."

New USA Rice Chair
Bobby Hanks
Changing of the Guard as USA Rice Elects New Leadership
By Deborah Willenborg
ARLINGTON, VA -- New chairs for USA Rice, The Rice Foundation, the USA Rice Millers' Association (RMA), and the USA Rice Merchants' Association were elected by their respective Boards of Directors during annual meetings this week held via video conference calls. All newly elected officers will assume their two-year posts on August 1.
USA Rice's new chair, Bobby Hanks, CEO of Supreme Rice in Crowley, Louisiana, takes over for Charley Mathews, Jr., a rice farmer from Marysville, California, who has been chair of the group since 2018.
"Bobby is going to make a great chair," Mathews said. "He is well versed in U.S. rice industry issues and is a long-term member of USA Rice having joined in 1999 when he first acquired Louisiana Rice Mill."
Hanks has served on numerous USA Rice committees, including past chair of the Rice Millers' Association and current chair of the USA Rice International Trade Policy Committee.
"Under Charley's leadership over the past two years, USA Rice finally opened the world's largest market - China - to U.S. rice. We also solidified relationships in Iraq, did great outreach on Central America and Mexico, and received our largest ever grant from the federal government to promote U.S., rice overseas," said Hanks. "He has represented USA Rice in markets around the world, and made presentations at both the annual Mexico trade mission and the annual international promotion planning conference in Colombia in Spanish!
"Here at home," Hanks added, "Charley helped us notch wins for rice in domestic purchasing programs and federal aid programs and lent his support to retail efforts. He also visited the White House twice - something no USA Rice chairman has ever done."
David Petter was elected chair of The Rice Foundation. Petter, a fourth-generation rice farmer from Stuttgart, Arkansas, replaces Frank Carey, who served as chair of The Rice Foundation for two years.
The Rice Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, which serves as the research and education program arm for the rice industry, and under Carey's term funded projects like a nutritional analysis on the effects of rice in the diets of infants from 0-24 months; a study on improvements in U.S. rice competitiveness; and research on blast in U.S.-grown japonica, invasive pests in Texas rice, and acephate degradation.
Outgoing RMA Chair Keith Gray passed the gavel to Keith Glover, president and CEO of Producers Rice Mill. As RMA chair, Gray worked on the renegotiation of NAFTA and the passage and adoption last week of its replacement, USMCA. He led efforts to combat unfair trade practices hampering U.S. milled rice exports and also oversaw the process of updating RMA membership requirements and benefits and the organization's dues structure.
Ryan Carwell, vice president at Poinsett Rice and Grain, replaces Dick Ottis who helmed the USA Rice Merchants' Association for six years. During his tenure as chair, Ottis successfully guided the Merchant's Association to a much stronger place: reserves have grown, the size of the Board has doubled, and the merchants have a strong, respected voice for the rice industry.
"On behalf of USA Rice, I extend special thanks to our great board leaders who served with distinction over the past two years - Charley, Keith, Dick, and Frank," said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward. "We are very grateful for their guidance and support."
In addition to electing new leadership, all USA Rice boards approved their 2020/2021 budgets and the organization's program of work for the upcoming year
WASDE Report Released
WASHINGTON, DC -- The outlook for both 2019/20 and 2020/21 U.S. rice is for increased supplies, higher domestic use, and lower exports while ending stocks are reduced for 2019/20 and increased for 2020/21. All rice supplies for 2020/21 are raised 3.5 million cwt this month based on a 4.5-million-cwt production increase and a 1-million-cwt import increase, which are partially offset by a 2-million-cwt reduction in beginning stocks. The NASS Rice Stocks report, and surging imports, implied significantly higher domestic and residual use than previously estimated for 2019/20. Imports for both 2019/20 and 2020/21 are raised to record-high levels, primarily reflecting strong demand for imported Asian aromatic varieties. Long grain production for 2020/21 is raised 6.3 million cwt to 161.8 million on increased planted acreage, and combined medium and short grain production is lowered 1.8 million to 58.9 million on reduced area, based on the June 30 NASS Acreage report. Rising domestic and residual use is expected to continue in 2020/21. Exports for 2019/20 are lowered 1.5 million cwt on continued uncompetitive prices for U.S. long grain as well as recent cancelations of outstanding sales; 2020/21 exports are lowered 1 million cwt (though still up 3.5 million cwt from the previous market year) on expectations of continued strong international competition for long grain exports. All rice ending stocks for 2020/21 are raised 500,000 cwt to 43.8 million and the season-average farm price for all rice is lowered $0.20 per cwt to $12.70.
Global 2020/21 rice supplies are raised fractionally on higher beginning stocks and production. The higher 2020/21 beginning stocks stem from several 2019/20 changes including a 900,000-ton production increase that is only partially offset by increased domestic and residual use. Global 2020/21 production and domestic use are each raised 500,000 tons, and both remain record high. With supplies rising more than use, global 2020/21 ending stocks are a record high 185.8 million tons with China and India respectively holding 63 percent and 21 percent.

PCJCCI keen to promote Eco-Farming for increasing agricultural yields
Pakistan China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) President Zarak Khan has urged the government to adopt Eco-farming model of China for increasing agricultural yields to avert the growing food crisis and to provide fresh fruits, vegetables at this hour of crisis.
While introducing the Chinese Cultivation Model of "Eco-Farming" at the PCJCCI think-tank session here on Friday, he emphasized to get benefit of Chinese friendship in the field of Agriculture during this pandemic. Chinese cultivation model involved usage of hybrid seeds, better water management, increased role of government for ensuring effective safety and support mechanisms such as making a reservoir of food grain and also public-private partnerships to overcome the future food crisis, he said.
China accounts for only 10 percent of arable land produces food for 20 percent of the world's population and it ranks first in worldwide farm output. "It is because they have devised different techniques to increase the yield of crops just by making use of nature, and such farming is termed as, "Eco-Farming", he said and hoped that implementation of Chinese model of farm mechanization practices in Pakistan would help overcome the expected food crisis.
The PCJCCI President said that China was the largest producer of rice with per hectare yield of 0.6 ton and it produces 1.2 ton per hectare rice, which is twice that of Pakistan. Pakistan's sugarcane production is 53.4 ton per hectare whereas China obtains a yield of 66.7 ton per hectare sugarcane through its cultivation techniques, Therefore, Chinese cultivation pattern is the best model to be implemented on the land of Pakistan to increase agriculture yields, he asserted.
He said that Chinese Model of Eco-Farming ensures healthy farming and healthy food for today and tomorrow by protecting soil, water and climate; promotes bio-diversity and does not contaminate the environment with chemical inputs or genetic engineering.
PCJCCI Senior Vice President Moazzam Ghurki highlighted the environment friendly techniques being used by China for effective farming. He quoted the example of increasing yield of rice through methods such as Rice duck farming, in which ducks are raised on rice paddies and feed on pests and weeds, which means the farmer doesn't have to use earth and water-ravaging chemical pesticides and herbicides on their plants. He said that duck droppings are also an excellent, natural fertilizer for rice plants. Similarly, growing two or more crops in proximity helps reduce disease outbreaks, he added.
PCJCCI Secretary General said that 50 percent of the population is taking less calories recognized for average human need. The current crisis, would worsen if the government fails to come up with an informed policy and decisions. In this situation, the government should allocate land to locals in association with Chinese to obtain farm productivity on the same pattern as Chinese are doing, he suggested and urged to introduce corporate farming trends to compensate rising inflation and high input prices in the field of Agriculture in the country

Toboso mayor says allegations against him 'politically motivated'
TERESA D. ELLERA
TOBOSO Mayor Richard Jaojoco said that the accusations made by a town councilor are "politically motivated."
Jaojoco, in a press conference Thursday, July 9, 2020, said that contrary to the claims of Councilor Madelene dela Torre questioning the release of the municipal government's rice assistance, all are "accounted for which is now 9,129 sacks of rice currently stored at the municipal gymnasium."
The mayor said that he is challenging De la Torre to literally count all the rice sacks at the town gym anytime.
"What we are doing in the municipal government is strategizing the distribution of our rice assistance. We do not know when this pandemic will end. We are only a third-class municipality with a small budget. If this will be longer, I don't know if we can sustain it," Jaojoco pointed out.
He also said that De la Torre also claimed that Toboso received funds under the Bayanihan To Heal as One Act.
"The funding from the Bayanihan Law is P11,359,107 from which we purchased food assistance, transportation and needs for our frontliners, construction of our isolation facility and PPEs," he also said.
Aside from that, Jaojoco said they have P14 million for their Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Fund and the still unused 20 percent of the local development fund of the town.
"Our current fund available for this pandemic is P32,328,916," he said.
"I do know why the councilor does not know about that since the record is available to her," Jaojoco said.
He questioned De la Torre: "where were you, why you don't know about it?"
Jajoco said that the councilor missed 12 sessions of the Sanggunian Bayan.
"She submitted a leave form only on June 23, which showed that she was on vacation leave. Can you have a vacation leave while everyone is under threat of the coronavirus pandemic?" He added.
Jaojoco called on De la Torre "to set aside politics so that we could be one in helping the people heal amid this pandemic."

Pepperoni pizza and rocket salad
· 1 garlic clove
· 1 mozzarella ball (125g)
· 125g cherry tomatoes
· 50g rocket
· 1 tsp dried oregano
· 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
· Flame-baked pizza bases
· 2 tbsp tomato paste
· 30g pepperoni, sliced
Accompany the pizza with a fresh rocket salad and balsamic dressing.
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 390°F/ Gas 6. Put a large baking tray (or two) in the oven to heat up (this will stop the pizza bottoms from going soggy!).
2. Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic. Add the tomato paste to a bowl with the chopped garlic and a generous pinch of salt, pepper and sugar. Add 5 tbsp of cold water and give everything a good mix up – this is your tomato sauce.
3. Drain and pat the mozzarella dry with kitchen paper (squeeze as much liquid out as you can!). Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces.
4. Remove the heated trays from the oven and add the pizza bases. Divide the tomato sauce between the pizza bases and spread it evenly all over them with the back of a spoon. Top the pizzas with the torn mozzarella and sliced pepperoni and sprinkle over the dried oregano
5. Put the tray in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bases are crisp – these are your pepperoni pizzas.
6. Meanwhile, combine the balsamic vinegar with 2 tbsp olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your balsamic dressing.
7. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half. Wash and drain the rocket and pat it dry with kitchen paper and combine the rocket and halved tomatoes in a bowl – this is your rocket salad.
8. Serve the pepperoni pizzas with the rocket salad to the side, drizzle the rocket salad with the balsamic dressing. Enjoy!
