- denToom.org; All new!
Dear visitors, I welcome you on my website!!
For the past month we have already had 500 unique visitors from various locations who have come here for all kinds of reasons including my University Work. Since the University Work is a important page on this website, it will also be a page which I am going to enhance. Additional pages such as Photograph, Herb Garden and Recipes will come as soon as possible (although this means it can take a few months).
So far I have had little comments regarding the accessibility of the website. If problems do persist in anyway please let me know.
Kind regards,
Arno
- The Gallery Section
Very soon this page will contain a few photographs. Although the full and complete photograph archive will take awhile I do hope you can enjoy the examples.
- My Digital Portfolio
Welcome to my digital portfolio. Hopefully this section will contain all my academic knowledge and as much proof for it as possible.
The picture on the right is captain van der Vis of the Navicula (NIOZ) and me taking a break from sampling.
From left to right: L.A. den Toom, T. van der Vis
The following is a list (left side) with theoretical skills I have learned over the past few years. Next to the theoretical list (right side) is a practical skill list. As soon as I have prove of my portfolio (and when I have the time) I will link the list to proof. When I place a link at the title of a subject than the whole subject falls under that link unless specified. The portfolio is based upon the Dutch EVC list and course descriptions.
The following is a list of buttons used to prove work:

- L. Arnoldus den Toom (Arno)
My name is Leonardus Arnoldus den Toom, the webmaster. Most of my friends call me Arno.
I have lived in various places such as Herzlyya Pituach (Israel) and Cairo (Egypt). I use the computer for various activities such as photo-editing, my website, literature et cetera. I started to scuba dive at a very young age in Israel. When I moved to Egypt I started to dive more often due to fabulous views.
Today you can either find me behind a book, working on the PC or find me in my little herb-garden (Hopefully this summer a page will be dedicated in the Hobbies Section). I hope I can use the website as a communication method for my family, friends and visitors to show my research and work. During my BSc I will upload various rapports and hopefully I will do the same during a Master course, PhD and whatever will come in my path!
For more information you can download my CV here. For my knowledge and competences I have designed a Portfolio. In this section my skills in both theoretical and practical areas are displayed.
- Leo & Mieke
Leo and Mieke, my father and mother (see the picture on the left). The picture is taken in Cairo, Egypt. My parents are the reason why I left for Israel and Egypt. They also are the reason why I want to travel abroad.
Still today they fly over the whole world for work and they live in various countries. One of these places used to be Dubai where my brothers are born.
Both my parents are glad to become grandparents from both Fred & Ellen and Herman & Daniëlle.
- Fred & Ellen
Ellen works with kids while Fred rather repairs airplanes.
The recent events are that they have bought a house in the same village as my parents and my other brother and his girlfriend. Also Fred and Ellen are parents of a healthy boy-child! We are all very exited.
This is my oldest brother, Fred, and his girlfriend Ellen. Their house is a little further than Herman and Daniëlle's. It is in Schiedam, far more to the South. Because of this we do not see them as often. (although sometimes they will spend every weekend at my parents house).
For those who know me (Arno, the webmaster and writer of the website) my brother Fred is the one who got me addicted to SG-1, Atlantis and Universe. Yes... I was like 10 years old at the time.
- Herman & Daniëlle
My brother and his girlfriend..... Herman and Daniëlle! They have a house right down the street! As you can imagine we see them rather often.
My brother is a building inspector for a neighboring village and Daniëlle works in a local shop. When I returned to the Netherlands, my first year was with them in our parents house. At the time they were renovating the house. Although they live in their hour at the moment they are still renovating sections such as the roof (as can be seen on the images).
Daniëlle is pregnant of a boy which will be her first child. We are very exited!
- Poetry
On this page I will place various poems I have made.
Although my collection is larger, I wish to make this section with simple poem-selections.
For now I will have three example:
Island
There is a place very far away, and yet close, with fastness of nothing,
Any soul who would enter this place by divine powers would start rotting,
The sight is dreadfully disturbed by the emptiness and coverd by smoke,
Only one man is standing in its middle, covered by its magic cloak.
Destroyed by the pain it has been standing there for years,
A man who is so beautiful and yet excruciated by his tears,
One day the magic protecting cloak will be near its end,
His final days of glory, that which he will not pretend.
In front of him another human with a magic cloak appeared one day,
He knew that this would be the final solution to his emotional fray,
If he would just open his stoned and blackened heart one more time,
It could be the forgotten mark of love, return, and the final sign,
The cloak in front of him has the true given beauty and splendor,
To no longer be watched by everyone as a sickened contender!
He has tried to tell her,
But his fate remains a blur
(Musashi)
Valentine:Cycles
Like the sun which rises on the horizon in golden glow,
Blinded by the beauty from lights reflecting of the snow,
Or like an angel which stand right in front of your dream,
And when you wake up, you still see the stunning gleam -
Well now dear, of ancient blood, please hear me out!
I am dreaming of you with my mind in a white cloud,
To look up at the one who is perfect, the one who is pure,
That we can build up a future that will endure,
Give us a change together, because there is something that i know,
That feeling of hidden love, the true end of a painful woe -
And then, at the end, it is the moon which shines in silver night,
I long for you - noble princess - who i want with candle light !
(Musashi)
A sonnet: rebirth
I never knew that such things could happen in this world.
You believe that you have seen true beauty in your life
and than you see her, feeling the cold blade of a knife
who some one just brought in you. You are hurled
from everything that you believe and that what you
knew. Her presence makes you more alive and you start
to realize true love. Stunned by her, it's not just her smart
which makes you wary. How now to tell her that which is true?
then you give her the gift of love that she wishes to try!
Yet the true gift of love is something you cannot give, itself, love.
Stand up and do your best, all you can do is hope she does not cry.
She is to you all that is right, a great land with a white dove
who is happy and wants to go up, a place never been and so high
on top. Don't think i am a fool, I am just trying to go above!
(Musashi)
- Recipes Archive
For the time being the new website will not be displaying any recipes. The picture on the left was made during the making of a Dutch dessert named Soesjes. Please do enjoy the brownies:
The absolute and most fantastic brownies EVER!
This is a wonderful brownie with an absolute fantastic cream topping. A wonderful delicacy which I had the pleasure of tasting for the first time in Israel.
For the brownies you need:
- 200 gram of semi-sweet chocolate (or just take a plain milk chocolate bar and break it into pieces)
- 200 gram butter (about 14 tablespoons) Leave it out of the refrigerator to make it soft
- 1 and 1 / 4 cups of sugar (plain crystal white sugar)
- 3 medium sized eggs
- 3 / 4 cup flour and an additional tablespoon of flower
For the cream topping:
- 567 grams of cream cheese (I tend to use Philadelphia)
- 3 / 4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1teaspoon of vanilla (I tend to use my own made vanilla sugar which is a lot stronger)
Additional:
I use a glass plate sprayed with an oil or I butter the plate. The temperature of the oven, which should be preheated, is 150 degrees Celsius. The costs of this recipe is about 10 euros, slightly less and depending on where you buy it.
Method To make the brownies:
Butter and flour a 22.5cm by 32.5cm glass plate (or pan) Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (Bain Marie). Let it cool slightly. Combine butter and sugar, beat until light and fluffy; take your time to do this. Beat in the eggs and mix well again. Now add the chocolate and flour; add slowly and mix well until smooth. Take 1 / 4 cup of the batter and set it aside, the rest should be poured and smoothed in the plate/pan.
To make the topping:
Combine the cream cheese with the sugar and quickly beat it smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla into it, take your time for the eggs to dissolve properly. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter.
Finishing:
Using the remaining brownie batter you can make small figures on top of the topping. A tip is to use a knife for beautiful swirls through the topping. Now you can create a plate of brownies with a marble patterned topping. When you are done place it in the ovenfor about 55 minutes, use a tooth pick to see if the inside is moist and crumb. Once ready leave it to cool, don’t burn your tongue because the nose can’t stop having the euphoric feeling.
Also perfect to serve while warm with some icecream
- My Personal Work
THIS SECTION WILL one day... CONTAIN SMALL HOME PROJECTS
August / September 2011
The European Space Agency (ESA) advertised for a Summer University program in the Exobiology to which I applied. Mid-May I was informed to be part of the ESA grant and that I could follow the course Evolution of the Biosphere at Banyuls-sur-Mer (France). A presentation we made (Effects of gravity on photosynthesis) can be seen here.
December 2010
In 2010 two Dutch pupils were required to make a coursework which profiles their interest for a further study. Within the coursework I am mentioned as the coach, although this is not for any school purposes but purely out of interest. This profile coursework can be viewed here.
April 2010
For personal use I made a small website with hyperlinks to other website. I use this website as a FrontPage for my web browsers. Really nice for touchscreens! You can few this website here! REMEMBER: it is for personal use and the hyperlinks are orientated for my comfort.
- My Digital Logbook
This section is dedicated to web logs. I believe that writing down what I have done and my personal view of my activities is a valid asset to my digital portfolio.
August / September 2011
The European Space Agency (ESA) advertised for a Summer University program in the Exobiology to which I applied. Mid-May I was informed to be part of the ESA grant and that I could follow the course Evolution of the Biosphere at Banyuls-sur-Mer (France). I kept a detailed story and portfolio on my website. A document can be seen here and the presentation we made (Effects of gravity on photosynthesis) can be seen here.
Summer job 2010: The Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research
I have done two activities for the NIOZ, one is two weeks of gathering benthos samples for the SIBES program and the other is two and a half week of various lab activities on the phytoplankton lab.
Click here to read my logs.
- Herb Garden
> General Information
For the past few years I have started my own Herb Garden. The use of the Herb Garden was, and still is mainly, for cooking. Fresh herbs are perfectly suited for cooking and decoration of the food. Herbs are not just good for cooking but the fresh smell and beautiful flowers can flourish a room.
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)
Chives are interesting because they are the smallest species of onions that we eat. Many people do not think about it, but chives and onions are the same species. In Greek the named would translate to sedge leek and chives it self is derived from the French cepa which is Latin for onion.Chives are most known for its purposes in the kitchen. Chives can be bought both dried and fresh as a small plant. Although it is not a good thing for the household herbing purposes, chives can flower with a beautiful purple top.
Because flowering chives is a beautiful sight I have multiple chive batches with both flowering and nonflowering chives.
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Thyme has been an interesting plant for centuries. It even goes back to the ancient Egyptians who used to embalm their mummies. Not just the Egyptians but even later in civilizations such as the Greek used it for baths and incense. Due to the Romans thyme has been spread across Europe and even during the Middle Ages thyme has kept its great importance.Although in history thyme has been used to wear of nightmares, help with good sleep and shown by women to noble knights to bring courage on their voyages, thyme even has an important impact on our current society.
Thyme contains an chemical within its oils named thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol), this chemical is applied to various uses but is commonly known for its antiseptic effects. As said before thyme was used for embalming which is made possible due to the thymol.
Although thyme and its chemicals have had a huge impact on society for centuries the reason why I grow this small shrub is for its gastronomic purposes. For many years people have used thyme in the kitchen and I too have discovered its amazing flavor.
Of course we should not forget that thyme is beautiful plant as a well.
Peppermint (Mentha × piperita)
A short story will soon be placed here. I can tell you that I also have the water mint.> Photos
Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
A short story will soon be placed here.
Water Mint (Mentha aquatica)
A short story will soon be placed here. I can tell you now that I also have the peppermint.
Papaver (Papaver somniferum)
A short story will soon be placed here. But as you can imagine, I don’ t just grow herbs
- University Work
This page is dedicated to my University work. Although the work on this page is not a final version it should be adequate to read.
It is a collection of old files (and new) which I have found on my backup-drives and the more recent files are drafts.
December 2011 Validation
For the University INHolland a fellow student and I had to make a document regarding the validation of a new Vitamine B12 analysing technique. It is written in Dutch. This document can be found here.
October 2011 Molecular Diagnostics
For the INHolland University I had to write a report with a peer student about Huntington’s disease (Chorea of Huntington). You can find the document here. The peer student S. Singh has participated at the start of the report but has ultimately withdrawn her participation. This document is written in Dutch. This document can be found here.
October 2011 Digital Research 1
For the INHolland University I was required to make a document explaining a technique. One technique is the PAMf (Pulse Amplitude Modulation Fluorometry) which can be found hereand the other technique is ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Assay) which can be found here. These documents are written in Dutch. The second document can be found here
August / September 2011 Evolution of the Biosphere (ESA)
The European Space Agency (ESA) advertised for a Summer University program in the Exobiology to which I applied. Mid-May I was informed to be part of the ESA grant and that I could follow the course Evolution of the Biosphere at Banyuls-sur-Mer (France). A presentation we made (Effects of gravity on photosynthesis) can be seen here.
June 2010 Ecology, Humans and Nature
For another course, Ecology Humans and Nature I was required to make a short essay about large grazers. You can find it here. It was required to be in Dutch.
April 2010 Philosophy and Science
One of my courses, named Philosophy and Science made us research the origin of an assigned piece of knowledge. For this course we wrote a report which can be found here. As usual: Written in Dutch because of two peer students with whom I worked together.
March 2010 Statistics and Methodology in the Biology
It is not a lot, but for now I have a simple powerpoint presentation here. It is about grasshoppers and their preference in food (corn leaves or bamboo leaves). It is a small experiment which can be easily done at home. The presentation has additional notes to explain the dia's. This presentation was made with two peer students and is thus written in Dutch.
March 2010 Statistics and Methodology in the Biology
For the same course as the grasshopper presentation we had to do a research regarding sexual preferences of the pond-snail Lymnaea stagnalis. I added the report here for those who are interested to learn a bit more. It is a simple report and not much jargon. This paper was made with two peer students and is thus written in Dutch.
October 2010 Evolution and Biodiversity of Life
The presentation in December 2009 regarding Archaea and Bacteria required an report. At the time I did make a report but never posted it on-line, now I remade the report and will be posting the draft on-line. It is in English and can be found here.
December 2009 Evolution and Biodiversity of Life
The first work which I made, and is placed on this website, on the VUa is a powerpoint which was based upon an article. The powerpoint was suppose to illustrate the differences between Archaea and Bacteria in a few ways such as membrane composition. This powerpoint can be found here.
June 2009 Bacterial Infections
For the subject Bacterial Infections we had to make presentations about various bacteria. In our situation we had to make a presentation about Cholerae and Leprae. Again.. Dutch here.
January 2009 Designing B (Laboratory)
My first project, STAR (STeven & ARno) was a creating a genetic engineered bacteria. Yeast. I uploaded a rapport which you can download here. It was an 8 day project; although the experiment can easily be done within a week. This paper was made with a peer student and is written in Dutch.December 2008 Leadership and management II & Instructing
For one course, Instrueren (Management and coaching), we had to coach two Dutch HAVO or VWO pupils during Profiling CourseWork. The Profiling CourseWork can be found here (in Dutch).
October 2008 Research Literature
The second rapport I made was research on the INTERNET regarding heavy metals. I have uploaded this report here. This paper was made with a peer student and is written in Dutch.
June 2007 Informing and PoliciesOne of the more earlier work I did was a small literature research into a machine named Mass-Spectrometer. For this I made a presentation (this can be viewed here) and a poster (which can be viewed here). Both pieces of work are recovered files and not the original & the course required me to make it in Dutch.
March 2007 Leadership and management
One course of the INHolland University was to evaluate our selves and work in groups. This self evaluation part we made a report with our goals which can be seen here (also in Dutch).
March 2007 Research A and B
One project required us to go to different laboratories and observe the work. The idea was for us to get a impression of potential future work field. The full report (in Dutch) can be read here. The document is a recovered file and not the original. Annexes are missing.March 2007 Leadership and management
After doing a group project about Forensic DNA profiling we learned about leadership. One of the courses about leadership required us to make a report. This can be found here. The report has been recovered and not the original & due to the group work it was designed in Dutch.January 2006 Life Sciences B
The first group project I ever did was a forensic investigation in the death of Karel Eenstra with the suspect Hans P. All the files were lost except this document which is one of the first drafts we made. The report is in Dutch and can be seen here.
- Animals and the Incubator
> General Information
Towards the end of 2010 my father and I build an incubator for approximately four to six eggs. The location of the house is attached to water and with a large grass garden it is an ideal place for various wild life and domesticated animals.
Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus)
The first four eggs, which went into the incubator were chickens. Two of the four are healthy young chickens. Two did not hatch. The two first born are brought to my neighbor from who we received the eggs. There they will be placed next to the parents. Soon we wish to have our own chickens.
Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)
One egg was placed in the incubator; this egg was a random drop from a duck and brought to me. After spending several days on the water to find a brother/sister I was unable to find any nest. After a two weeks no development has been seen in the egg. Unfortunately the egg has been discarded.
The Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
Shendor, the dog of the family. Although extremely strange in his behavior and the complete lack of insight Shendor has an amazing ability to learn new things. Not just that! Shendor, a golden retriever, is a loving and caring dog who, although sometimes jealous, does not disturb the other animals and lives in harmony with chickens and ducks around him.
