PhD process casestudy city selection arguments scenario nine

I am starting a bit later today. When I woke up, I started to doubt my arguments. Again. Okay, first things first. I had breakfast, fruit, boiler water, two cups of coffee upside down. I paged through the newspapers of yesterday afternoon. I smiled looking at a comic of Fokke and Sukke. I scissored three articles for my archives. One about FIFA and talken of corruption, a painting made by Kama and Herr Seele, artists. Naar James Ensor, Oisterwijk eating sister (1882), now: Sepp Blatter eating football players. Second article, categorie science, about women in sport and their testosteron. I used to do a lot of sports, actually I started yesterday with jogging 'on souplesse' in preparaten for a personal goal, to start with atlethics. October this year, new season. Some condition is requires, I suppose. Third 'article', 'This week in 1981', On 31 May 1982 the library in Jaffina, Sri Lanka, was burnt out. More than 90.000 historical Books and documents, cultural heritage of the Tamils were lost. Hatred from Tamils versus Sinhalese was fed by this. Fortunately, I didn't have arguments to choose Sri Lanka for my thesis. After this I read in the book 'Verveling', Peter Toohey, 2012, translated by Peter Diderich. Peter Toohey has the Canadian nationality. A part of my family generation lives in Canada, the western part. That seems to be very Dutch. I realised, I am never bored. A creative mind is a joy for ever. Except in the company of certain people......
Now I am ready to continue blogging my arguments for choosing scenario nine. Writing down the arguments for the city of Emmen, I will follow the same sequence as I have set up for the arguments on the city of Assen. In the meanwhile, I am listening to 'Boulevard', the complete works by St. Germain. Precise year unknown yet, something end 1990, just before the year 2000

The city of Emmen is:

Remarkable, not ugly. The city of Emmen is a officially a place, not a city. At the same time, Emmen
has become a city and has remained a village (paradox). What to do with this in history?

Promise to become embellished by Utopolis, a cinema, and a theaterbuilding with a wild waving grass and moss (green) roof
Occupied by some socialists and a lot of CDA people (CDU f or German readers, don't know how to translate this for the British and American followers, C stands for Christianity)
Represented by Stenden University
Known internationally for its urban design history in the twentieth century, called 'open' and 'green'  city
Known for its zoo
A questionmark: Are there writers, poets, playwrights or rappers, political talents or highlights, famous urban designers, originated from or living in Emmen?
Spatially 'open' and 'green'
A city wherein the citizens mainly speak Dutch, English and or German. They try to learn Chinese.
A city with a central position/role in the region Zuidenveld and beyond
Having a sister-pact. In 2010 the city of Shanglao (China) was officially announced as sistercity
