Sono fiera di te Jannik, hai fatto un torneo stupendo ❤️

[lionessfeather]

So last night as I was starting to slowly drift off to sleep, my brain suddenly stuck on something (I promise this is Temeraire related). You see, the Netherlands have used "can't get an army across lots of water" as a basic defence strategy pretty much from Roman times until we got airplanes. The extent of it has varied; sometimes it was as simple as "well the river is too big" (Romans), sometimes it was "if we break this dike right here, the polder will flood and the Spanish can't get at the city". But, from the end of the 17th century, there was a systematic line of forts along the polders and rivers that could protect the province of Holland (specifically), here shown in purple. To the south there's big rivers leading into an estuary, and then it protects the province from invasion to the east. From about 1870, it was replaced by the orange parts, as well as the brownish line around Amsterdam specifically. The yellow area is from the mid-18th century. It is basically a collection of forts, and a series of locks. Together, these can make it so the coloured areas flood to a depth of 30-60 cm. Too deep for infantry, not deep enough for boats. It protects the capital of Amsterdam (with its important harbour), and the big cities of The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam.

And again, until we developed airplanes and parachutists and airplane bombs and so on, this worked really well.

Now, since I've been rereading the Temeraire books, the drifting off to sleep made me suddenly realise - how would dragon aerial warfare interact with this? Which morphed into a discussion with my partner (who hasn't read the books) about how Dutch dragons would work.

The first thing I'd like to do is point out the size of the Netherlands, compared to the British Isles and to the United States:

In other words, very small. And, very importantly, it used to be even smaller; a lot of the current land was reclaimed from the sea or large lakes between roughly 1650 and 1950. Most of the west of the country is below sea level, and very wet. A fair part of the east of the country isn't very rich soils and thus not great for farming (until chemical fertiliser is invented in the 1900s) (though they did use sheep dung as fertiliser, and they would almost certainly have thought of using dragon dung as well, eventually).

So I propose that actually, the Netherlands probably would have mostly had middle- and lightweights. There just isn't the area to support a large enough population of heavyweights that they aren't all inbred. My partner suggested there is probably one heavyweight breed, and I like that idea. I think that - militarily - the Netherlands would probably have figured out a strategy for using middle-weights against heavy-weights when they are fighting alone, but preferentially use their middle-weights as support in battles when there is a larger coalition, joining whoever is on their side.

However. There may only be middle-weight dragons, there would be a fairly large number of different breeds, with different strengths. You see, unlike the United Kingdom, where England was mostly united by around 900 CE, and then the Normans strengthened that, or France, which has a similar time scale, the Netherlands is a collection of loose duchies and counties and prince-bishoprics and so on, pretty much until the 1550s. The map pictured is from 1670, after a fair amount of the lands have been united into a republic; there would likely have been more divisions before then.

They get united under the dukes of Burgundy, eventually, but even at that time, it is still the Duchy of Brabant and the County of Holland and so on. But until they come together against Spanish rule, the separate parts regularly fight with each other. Which means that each of them would have their own breeds. (Likely, Holland and Zeeland would have very similar dragons, with aquatic adaptations, who get fed on a mixture of fish and meat; the more inland regions would have more "standard" breeds. To outsiders they all look incredibly alike, but if you mention to someone from Guelders that you cannot tell their Zwarte van Gelre apart from the Brabants Blauwtje, they would be so insulted. Can you not tell that theirs is a pure midnight black while the Brabants Blauwtje is blue? However, the breeds are so alike that most of them follow a continuum. Except the Fryske Grutskens, which looks very distinct). This is also where the single heavy-weight breed comes in - I think it would have been Flanders. Flanders is a part of the kingdom of France (rather than the Holy Roman Empire, which is the power the rest of the motley collection belongs to). One of the counts of Flanders probably got a breeding pair of heavy-weights from the king of France; maybe during one of the (many) revolts. These were crossed with the native middle-weights until a new breed of heavy-weights was developed. And finally, purely for my own amusement, William the Silent/William of Orange, who led the 1548 revolution against the Spanish, would have a dragon that is actually orange. No one knows how or why it came out that colour, none of its progenitors was, it just did and he was named for it (the fact that he is Prince of Orange is a bonus).

I also think that the Dutch would be using dragons for shipping, at least within the country. It is efficient and cheap (especially the dragons that grew up having fish as part of their diet), and the Dutch have always been fans of efficient and cheap and trade. And since it's all middle-weights, that is less scary than heavyweight breeds dropping in. I don't think dragons would be used for passenger-work, but loading the big ships, that can't quite reach the harbour? Definitely. And if you have large-ish ships, but only middle-weight dragons, it's probably much easier to ship dragons across the world, so you can also have a dragon when you arrive at your destination.

To bring it back to the idle thought that started this all - the Waterlinie, aka using the water to prevent invasion. My partner and I think it would still have worked, mostly. The Romans start taming the native European breeds, so they probably could cross the Rhine. In our world, the Rhine was the limes, the border, because they can't cross it in large enough numbers; but if they have dragons and the native Germanic tribes don't, then they can. I don't think they'd have been able to hold the land, not for long, and it's not interesting enough to bother anyway. But after that, when the playing field is levelled by everyone having dragons, the water would still be a workable defence. Yes, the aerial forces can come over and wreak havoc - except everyone has dragons now and so they will try to defend it - but the infantry still has trouble crossing the water. And then, when artillery gets developed, it's still the same. You can shoot at the enemy dragons, they can shoot at yours - and the infantry still can't cross the water. I think an enemy (often the French) would try to use dragons against the forts, before they can inundate the land, but that it wouldn't work as well after.

Anyway, here are some rambly thoughts about Dutch dragons in the Temeraire universe. (Sidenote but I can't make heads nor tails of the Dutch names that are used once or twice in the books. They just don't work.)

Two crossings of the Rhine

The Swiss city of Basel lies on the border with France and Germany, and, as it's Switzerland, it hasn't changed hands or been attacked much (though the French did use Basel as target practice for a new cannon from their fort at Huningue once). It has a well-preserved historic centre, and, with the Rhine's current being consistently strong, it has a rare form of transportation.

This little ferry has no motor. It is tethered to a wire that crosses the river, and a lever at one end of the tether on the boat is all that's needed to turn the boat into the current which does the rest.

It's incredibly simple and easy! For a more engaging version of the story, here's a video by The Tim Traveller.

While I rode the boat with my sister, I continued upstream alone to another crossing, a bridge which doubles up as a dam for hydro-electric power stations on either side - or Kraftwerk as it's known in German.

Unlike in Basel, the Rhine at this point is an international border: Germany on the right-hand side, and Switzerland on the left-hand side. But with Germany and Switzerland being signatories of the Schengen agreement, this is what the border looks like:

The Rhine sees some impressive barges navigate roughly between Schaffhausen and Rotterdam, so there is a rather impressive lock next to this dam and the Kraftwerken. This is the view downstream from the top of the lock, with what I suspect was a border post on the right? I don't know, but I seem to remember that black and white stripes had some significance.

Wohlstand in gänzlichem Gange in der marokkanischen Sahara einem brasilianischen Medienunternehmen zufolge

Brasilia–Die marokkanische Sahara hat sich zu einen Raum des Fortschritts und des Wohlstands ausgewachsen lassen, und dies im krassen Gegensatz zu der prekären Situation, die in den Lagern Tinduf im algerischen Südwesten vorherrscht, schreibt das brasilianische Medienunternehmen „Poder360“.

In einem Artikel betitelt „Wohlstand in Reichweite“ stellt der Autor Herr Marcelo TOGNOZZI die „tiefgreifenden sozialen und die „tiefgreifenden wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen“ klar heraus, die diese Region fünf Jahrzehnte nach dem Grünen Marsch durchgemacht hat, den Manövern der vonseiten Algier unter die Arme gegriffenen Separatisten der Front Polisario zum Trotz.

Herr TOGNOZZI zieht eine Parallele zwischen der Entwicklungsdynamik, die vermittels von Vorzeigeprojekten wie vermittels vom Atlantikhafen Dakhla versinnbildlicht wird, und den Lebensbedingungen in den Lagern Tinduf, wo einige Tausend Sahrauis noch immer unter prekären Bedingungen ausharren.

„Auf dem marokkanischen Territorium ist der Wohlstand ersichtlich“, sagt Herr Marcelo TOGNOZZI, der derzeit den südlichen Provinzen des Königreichs Marokko Besuch abstattet, das Porträt einer Frau zeichnend, Symbol dieser Verschmelzung von Tradition und von Moderne, die zusammen mit 1.700 anderen Arbeitern auf der Baustelle des Atlantikhafens Dakhla arbeitet.

„Auf der anderen Seite der Grenzen harren die Sahrauis in den Lagern Tinduf immer noch unter ähnlichen Bedingungen wie vor 50 Jahren aus, in Zelten, mit wenigen nennenswerten Veränderungen“, behauptet er.

Der Autor unterstreicht, dass die Front Polisario in ihrer Propaganda einen Diskurs in Umlauf bringt, der darauf abziele, die Realität dekonstruieren und die Fakten verändern zu dürfen, feststellend, dass diese Art von festgelegtem Diskurs nicht glaubwürdig sei.

In diesem Zusammenhang zitiert Herr Marcelo TOGNOZZI das Buch „Die marokkanische Sahara: Raum und Zeit“ des französischen Rechtsanwalts Herrn Hubert SEILLAN, das mit Fakten und mit rechtlichen Belegen einen detaillierten Überblick über den Regionalkonflikt rund um die marokkanische Sahara anbietet.

Der Autor konzentriert sich auf die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen, die das Königreich Marokko geleistet hat, dabei den Atlantikhafen Dakhla beleuchtend, wo ein Team von Fachleuten an der Umsetzung dieses Vorzeigeprojektes arbeitet, das auf 1,2 Milliarden Euro eingeschätzt wird und das den Globalhandel mit Westafrika, mit dem Nahen Osten, mit Europa und mit Amerika erstarken wird.

Im Herzen einer Baustelle, die sich über 1.650 Hektar erstreckt, nehmen Frauen eine Schlüsselrolle wahr, wie beispielshalber Frau Nisrine IOUZZI, die dieses Projekt steuert, dessen Solarenergie 60% des Energiebedarfs abdeckt, betont Herr TOGNOZZI.

Bis zum Jahrgang 2028, fährt er fort, wird der Atlantikhafen Dakhla imstande sein, bis zu 35 Millionen Tonnen Güter pro Jahr bearbeitenzu dürfen, und zwar in einer geostrategischen Position, die sowohl die südlichen Staaten als auch die Kanarischen Inseln bedient.

Herrn Marcelo TOGNOZZI zufolge erweisen sich die Investitionen in die Infrastrukturen bereits als fruchtbar und lassen das Königreich Marokko als wichtigen Hafenknotenpunkt in Afrika aufspielen.

Nebst dem Atlantikhafen Dakhla verbuchen überdies die Häfen Casablanca und Tanger einen kontinuierlichen Ausbau, was ein hohes Wettbewerbspotenzial in sich birgt und die Transportzeiten von Gütern deutlich verkürzt, schreibt der Journalist, darauf verweisend, dass eine Seereise zwischen Brasilien und Tanger im Vergleich zu einer Reise nach Rotterdam 6 Tage einsparen wird.

Zu den wichtigsten sich im Laufe befindlichen Vorzeigeprojekten, fügt er hinzu, ist die Erweiterung der Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecke gehörig, die derzeit Casablanca über Tanger bis nach Marrakesch und Agadir verbindet, in Vorbereitung auf die Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2030, die das Königreich Marokko gemeinsam mit Portugal und mit Spanien mit veranstalten wird.

Der Autor des Artikels verweist darauf, dass das Königreich Marokko auch in Bildung und in Innovation Investitionen einspritzt und dafür einsteht, dass jedes Infrastrukturprojekt von Berufsbildungsprogrammen begleitet werden wird.

Wer die Umwandlung der Wüste in einen Ort des Wohlstands beobachtet, kann nicht umhin, die Widerstandsfähigkeit ihrer Vegetation, deren Wurzeln tief in die Erde verankert sind und allen Prüfungen standhalten, mit dem Wohlstandsstreben derer zu vergleichen, die nach Dakhla einmarschierten, nuanciert er,  hinzufügend, dass die Brasilianer sich in dieser Energie gut auskennen, die jener ähnelt, die der ehemalige Präsident Herr Juscelino KUBITSCHEK (1902-1976) manifestiert hat, als er sich dem Zentrum-Westen zuwandte, um Brasilia aufbauen zu dürfen.

Two well-known European nations with a rich tapestry of culture, history, and contemporary accomplishments are France and the Netherlands. As industrialized countries in Western Europe, they are comparable to one another, yet they are also very different from one another. In order to compare France with the Netherlands, this article will look at a number of topics, including geography, culture, the economy, and social programs.

Regional Variations With its varied geography encompassing everything from the picturesque beaches of the French Riviera to the rugged Alps and Pyrenees, France is the largest country in the European Union. From a temperate climate in the north to a Mediterranean climate in the south, it has both. Principal cities are Nice, Lyon, Marseille, and Paris.

In contrast, the Netherlands has a significantly smaller land area yet a dense population. It is primarily below sea level and is well-known for its flat topography and vast canal networks, which has led to the development of highly advanced water management systems. With warm winters and cool summers, the climate is marine. Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam are important cities.

Historical Culture Having been a hub for science, philosophy, and the arts for centuries, France is well known for its rich cultural legacy. With writers like Victor Hugo and Marcel Proust, as well as artists like Claude Monet and Edgar Degas, the nation is well-known for its contributions to both literature and art. French music has influenced mainstream and classical music as well as contemporary music worldwide.

Despite its modest size, the Netherlands has also significantly influenced culture. Both its liberal social policies and its Golden Age artists, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, have made it famous. With writers like Anne Frank, Dutch literature has a rich history while being less well-known outside. The nation also boasts a thriving music industry, with electronic dance music being especially popular.

Majority of the population speaks French, which is the official language of France. A second language in many nations, it is also one of the most influential languages in the world, employed in commerce and international diplomacy. The variety of languages is further enhanced by regional tongues and dialects like Breton and Occitan.

Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands. An overwhelming majority of people speak it. Another legally recognized language is Frisian, which is spoken in the northern province of Friesland. The nation places a strong focus on trade and internationalism, which is reflected in the widespread use of English.

The economy France boasts one of the largest and most sophisticated economies in the world, notwithstanding its diversity. The luxury goods, automobile, aerospace, and agricultural sectors are important ones. In addition, the nation attracts a lot of tourists, which boosts its GDP. The capital, Paris, is a significant hub for finance.

The Dutch economy is open, highly developed, and heavily focused on foreign trade. Important industries include manufacturing, electronics, chemicals, and agriculture—especially horticulture and dairy. Major international corporations reside in the Netherlands, which also boasts Rotterdam, one of the busiest ports in the world.

Traveling France is the most visited country in the world because of its many attractions, which include the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower, and the gorgeous landscapes of Provence and Normandy. Every kind of traveler can find something to enjoy in the nation's rich history and diversified geography.

With its medieval cities, tulip fields, windmills, and canals, the Netherlands is another well-liked travel destination. While neighboring towns like Rotterdam and The Hague provide distinctive cultural and architectural experiences, Amsterdam is a big appeal due to its museums and exciting nightlife.

Cooking French cooking is highly regarded throughout the world and is distinguished by its use of premium products and cooking methods. The staples of French cuisine include escargots, coq au vin, and a wide selection of cheeses and wines. Savoring each course and taking pleasure in the social components of a meal are key to the French eating experience.

Despite being simpler, Dutch food is nevertheless filling and satisfying. Mainstays include herring, cheese (especially Gouda and Edam), and side dishes such poffertjes (little pancakes) and stamppot (mashed potatoes with vegetables). Pastries and confections are part of the rich tradition of the Netherlands.

System of Education France has a centralized educational system that prioritizes intellectual growth and academic achievement. Prominent educational establishments such the École Polytechnique and the Sorbonne are located in the nation. French literature and philosophy are heavily emphasized in the mandatory education program for students aged three to sixteen.

The practicality and focus on personal growth of the Dutch educational system are well-known. There are both public and private schools in the area, and prestigious universities like the University of Amsterdam and Delft University of Technology are among them. Between the ages of five and sixteen, education is required, with a particular emphasis on multilingualism and practical skills.

Political Frameworks With a powerful executive branch, France is a semi-presidential republic. The head of government is the prime minister, while the head of state is the president. La République En Marche!, the Republicans, and the Socialist Party are some of the main parties in the nation's multiparty system.

With a parliamentary system, the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy. The head of government is the Prime Minister, while the head of state is the King. The People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), Labour Party (PvdA), and GreenLeft (GL) are three prominent parties that make up the multi-party system that characterizes Dutch politics.

Social Strategies Offering a wide range of social services like healthcare, education, and retirement, France has a welfare state that is comprehensive. With universal coverage, it is among the best healthcare systems in the world. Significant worker safeguards are afforded by robust employment legislation.

The Netherlands, which is renowned for its excellent social security and healthcare systems, also features a sophisticated welfare state. The universal coverage and high level of efficiency of the Dutch healthcare system are widely acknowledged. The nation boasts progressive social policies, notably in the fields of drug decriminalization and same-sex marriage.

Transportation The TGV high-speed trains, which link major cities in record time, are just one of France's many effective transportation options. The country has an enormous transportation network. France has superb roadways and well-developed metro systems in cities like Paris.

With a vast network of buses, trams, and trains, the Netherlands is renowned for having an excellent public transportation system. With good infrastructure, cycling is another popular form of transportation. Large-scale international trade is made possible by the nation's busiest ports and airports in all of Europe.

Policies Regarding Environment With laws designed to cut carbon emissions and support renewable energy, France is dedicated to environmental sustainability. Signatories to the Paris Agreement, the nation has made significant investments in nuclear energy as a primary source of power.

Environmental innovation and sustainability have the Netherlands at the forefront of the world stage. The nation has taken a number of steps to manage its water resources and fight global warming. The Dutch energy mix heavily relies on renewable energy, especially wind power.

Athletics and Leisure With a strong emphasis on sports, football, rugby, and tennis are among the sports in which France excels. The French Open and the Tour de France are two of the biggest international tournaments held in the nation. Recreational pursuits including surfing the Atlantic coast and skiing the Alps are also well-liked.

With a competitive national team and league, football is the most popular sport in the Netherlands. The nation has also achieved success in field hockey and speed skating. Cycling is a prevalent form of transportation as well as a popular activity, with many cycling events performed all year round.

Interieur van het Centraal Belastinggebouw aan de Puntegaalstraat, 1955.

Over het ontstaan van de naam van de Puntegaalstraat bestaat enige onzekerheid. Zeker is dat er rond 1736 een gebouw op een stuk grond in de toenmalige gemeente Schoonderloo staat dat "van outs punte gaale" genoemd wordt. In 1749 is op het perceel een herberg verrezen met de naam Punte Gale; naar deze herberg wordt in 1933 de straat door de gemeente vernoemd na het gereedkomen van het naastgelegen sluiscomplex.

De bebouwing op het perceel zelf is waarschijnlijk door zeelieden vernoemd naar een landpunt: de Punta Galla in Sri Lanka (dan Ceylon). In de hier nog altijd gelegen havenstad Galle bouwde de Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie een fort. Het was destijds niet ongewoon een herberg te noemen naar een haven.

Grote bekendheid kreeg de straat onder de inwoners van Rotterdam nadat hier in 1948 het Centraal Belasting Gebouw werd geopend. Het gebouw werd ontworpen door H. Hoekstra (1881-1960), dan hoofdarchitect van de Rijksgebouwendienst. De bouw begon in 1938, maar als gevolg van het uitbreken van de Tweede Wereldoorlog moet deze worden onderbroken.

Tijdens de oorlog werd het nog niet voltooide pand door het Duitse leger gebruikt als locatie voor luchtafweergeschut. Op 11 november 1944 werd het pand gebruikt als verzamelpunt bij de Razzia van Rotterdam. Er werden duizenden Rotterdamse jongens samengedreven die in Noord-Rotterdam waren opgepakt. Vanaf dit verzamelpunt werden de opgepakte mannen te voet via de Maastunnel naar Station Zuid gebracht en afgevoerd in veewagons.

Na de oorlog werd het pand zo snel mogelijk in gebruik genomen, omdat andere belastingkantoren door het bombardement op de stad vernietigd waren. Wel werd de onderbreking in de bouw gebruikt om het pand aan te passen aan moderne technieken, zoals een paternosterlift.

Na het vertrek van de Belastingdienst in 1996 naar een nieuw complex (Wilhelminahof) op de Kop van Zuid, liet Stadswonen het pand verbouwen, waarbij het tevens een woonfunctie kreeg. In 1998 worden tweehonderd appartementen en enkele tientallen kleinere bedrijfsruimten opgeleverd. Het gebouw is in 2002 aangewezen als rijksmonument.

Rialto, CA-based soul outfit Brainstory will be releasing their Leon Michels-produced sophomore album Sounds Good on Friday through renowned purveyors of soul, Big Crown Records. The album will feature: “Gift of Life,” a lush, old-school, Quiet Storm-like, show-topping ballad built around a shimmering and vibey arrangement featuring fluttering, ethereal flute paired with Kevin Martin’s emotive, falsetto croon and some incredibly catch hooks. While the song see the band pulling from classic soul, psych soul and dub in a way that sounds like it could been released sometime between 1968-1974, “Gift of Life,” manages to feel remarkably modern.  “Listen,” a classic, two-step inducing groove-driven song with shimmering analog synths, an overdrive-fueled guitar solo paired with some dreamy falsetto melodies and harmonies that sounds — to me, at least — as though it could have been been a Mandrill or Isley Brothers B side. The song sees the band’s Kevin Martin encouraging the listener to spend some time enjoying the present moment, because life’s all too short and remarkably fleeting “Peach Optimo,” a slow-burning and summery bit of psych soul anchored around a strutting and wobbling bass line, glistening keys, some funky drum rhythm patterns and an expressive guitar solo paired with some retro-futuristic synths. Seemingly channelling JOVM mainstays Mildlife and L’Eclair, sees the trio diving into the banality and simple pleasures of teenaged suburban life — full of the nostalgia of cul-de-sac hangs and bullshit sessions with the homies. Sounds Good‘s fifth and latest single “XFaded” is a strutting, hook-driven and funky psych soul jam anchored around an arrangement featuring skittering boom bap, a sinuous bass line and squiggling bursts of guitar. According to the trio, the song’s sound was partially inspired by what theft thought a modern day George Clinton/Parliament funk jam would sound like — and by small town life, where getting fucked up is an unofficial/official pastime because there isn’t much else to really do. The slick Leon Michels production paired with the band’s razor sharp yet seemingly effortless performance ironically contrasts the notion of getting sloppy and fucked up but reveals the easy-going chemistry between the trio and producer. The trio are about to embark on a run of headlining Stateside dates and a couple of stops on the global festival circuit, before joining Lady Wray in May for a run of UK and European Union dates.

Fortresses have long been a part of Indonesian culture and tradition, serving as a symbol of strength and protection. These grand structures, built in strategic locations in the archipelago, also play a role in the lore and myths of the country. Among these myths and legends are stories of leprechauns, the mischievous and elusive creatures that are said to guard hidden treasures.

According to Indonesian folklore, leprechauns are believed to reside in the most remote and inaccessible parts of the country, making fortresses a natural and fitting dwelling place for them. These structures are often located on high hills or rocky cliffs, making them hard to access and perfect for hiding precious treasures. In fact, some of the most famous fortresses in Indonesia, such as Fort Rotterdam in Makassar and Fort Vredeburg in Yogyakarta, are known for their intricate and complex underground tunnels, which are said to have been created by leprechauns.

Moreover, the architectural design of these fortresses also reflects the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the Indonesian people. Many of the fortresses in Indonesia are built in the shape of a bat, a significant symbol in local folklore and believed to be a protector against evil spirits. This ties in with the belief that leprechauns, being creatures of magic and mystery, are able to harness the powers of nature to protect their treasures.

Fortresses also serve as a reminder of Indonesia's rich history and its past struggles against outside threats. As invaders and colonizers attempted to conquer the archipelago, fortresses were built as a defense mechanism to protect its people and resources. This history of fortifications creates a sense of mystique and wonder around these structures, making them the perfect setting for tales of leprechauns and their fabled riches.

In addition, Indonesia's diverse culture and strong sense of community may have also contributed to the association between fortresses and leprechauns. The country's many different ethnic groups have their own unique traditions and beliefs, many of which involve myths and legends about supernatural creatures. The idea of leprechauns guarding hidden treasures in fortresses may have been influenced by the belief in ancestral spirits and their connection to the land.

While these stories of leprechauns living in Indonesian fortresses may only be folklore, they add to the charm and mystery of these ancient structures. They serve as a reminder of the country's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to the natural world. So the next time you visit a fortress in Indonesia, keep an eye out for any mischievous leprechauns and their hidden treasures. Who knows, you may just stumble upon a pot of gold at the end of a hidden underground tunnel.

Geography AND linguistics? It is Autism Time(TM).

Once you know what you’re looking for, it is so easy to find examples of repeated words in place names in the real world. Here are just a few examples off the top of my head actually a lot of examples because I love this sort of thing.

Pretty much every language has a suffix used in city names that means “city.” In English you’ve got places like Jacksonville, Springville, Watertown, Bloomington, Park City, or Kansas City. Russian uses “grad,” as in Volgograd (city on the Volga River) or Petrograd (a former name of St. Petersburg.) Greek uses “polis,” such as for Heliopolis or Hadrianopolis (which later morphed into Adrianople and has since been renamed Edirne). That suffix gets borrowed a lot in other languages, such as Florianópolis (Portuguese) or Sevastopol (Russian/Ukrainian). The Persian suffix “abad” (literally “cultivated place”) appears in places like Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Swedish has “stad” (“city,” although the Danish equivalent “sted” means “place”), used in Fredrikstad and Kristianstad.

Another common one is “port.” English will put it on either side of another word; for example, Portland, Portsmouth, Port Royal, and Shreveport. Spanish uses this a lot too; for example, Puerto Montt or Puerto Rico (originally Puerto Rico was the city and San Juan was the island, but their names were swapped early in their history). Portuguese has Porto Alegre. The Germanic languages use variants of “haven”, for instance Bremerhaven or København (the Danish spelling of Copenhagen).

Speaking of San Juan, saint names are very common too. San Juan, San Salvador, Santa Barbara, or Santa Clara in Spanish (which has gendered words for everything, including saints); St. Louis or St. George in English; Saint-Nazaire or Saint-Malo in French; and São Paulo in Portuguese.

Many cities originated as forts or were named after forts; for instance, Fort Worth in English or Frankfurt in German. The word “Hradec” in the Czech cities Hradec Kralove and Jindřichův Hradec means “castle.” That’s also the root of the Germanic suffix “burg” used in places like Hamburg or Oldenburg in Germany and Nyborg in Denmark (literally identical in meaning to the English city of Newcastle). Note however that Brandenburg comes from the etymologically unrelated West Slavic “brani boru” meaning “war forest”, and the “berg” in Nuremberg comes from the German word for “mountain”; they are only similar by coincidence.

Churches also make frequent appearances - see Christchurch in English, Dunkirk/Dunkerque from West Flemish via English/French, or Aix-la-Chapelle in French (now Aachen, a German descendant from the same linguistic origin as “Aix” but without any reference to Charlemagne’s chapel).

Lots of cities in Norway are named after fjords, including Sandefjord and Kjøllefjord. Another suffix that pops up frequently in Norwegian is “sund” meaning strait or sound; for example, Ålesund or Kristiansund.

The Danish word “ø” means “island” and is attached to the end of many island names: Læsø, Samsø, Agersø, Vejrø. “Øerne” (“the islands”) appears in the name Færøerne, translated as “the sheep islands”; this means that their English name “the Faroe Islands” would translate to “the the sheep islands islands.”

Given the number of dams and dikes in the Netherlands, it probably shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that their two largest cities are Amsterdam (“the dam on the river Amstel”) and Rotterdam (“the dam on the river Rotte”).

The Swedish suffix “köping,” derived from an Old Norse word for “market,” appears in many place names such as Linköping, Norrköping, and Nyköping.

Many Arabic place names begin with the word “al” or “el”, which roughly means “the.” It’s often left out of translations or transliterations (for example, Al-Fallujah becomes Fallujah), I imagine in part because it’s being used here in a sense that would seem jarring in English when translated literally (think “The London” or “The Charlottesville”). Al and el are two different ways of writing the same Arabic word in the Latin alphabet, and since Arabic doesn’t have capital letters or hyphens, you’ll see both of those elements used inconsistently. Sometimes the pronunciation of the L in al/el gets assimilated into the following sound, such as in Deir ez-Zur or Ash Shaddai. (The closest English equivalent would be the rules on when to use “a” vs “an.”)

Not sure what to call a place? Pick another place you like and slap your language’s word for “new” in front of it. New York (English), Nueva Valencia (Spanish), Neubrandenburg (German), Nova Scotia (Latin for some reason). The Russian city of Novgorod’s name means “new town.” Novi Sad is Serbian for “New Plantation”; Nyköping is Swedish for “New Market.”

If two cities have the same name, they can be distinguished by their locations or other important characteristics; for instance, England has Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Newcastle on Clun; Germany has Frankfurt am Main (“Frankfurt on the Main River”) and Frankfurt an der Oder (“Frankfurt on the Oder River”); and Russia has Veliky Novgorod (“Great Novgorod”) and Nizhny Novgorod (“Lower Novgorod”).

One of the common threads across all of these examples is cities being named after people - Jacksonville (Andrew Jackson), Hadrianopolis (Emperor Hadrian), Petrograd (Peter the Great and Saint Peter), Ahmedabad (Sultan Ahmed Shah I), Jindřichův Hradec (Jindřich I Vítkovec), and Kristiansund (Christian VI of Denmark-Norway), for example.

Translation can do a ton of weird things to names, like adding redundant words (“the Faroe Islands” meaning “the the sheep islands islands”) or replacing them with an unrelated but similar-sounding word (“Sjælland,” a Danish name of uncertain origin, becomes “Zealand” in English, possibly via German “Seeland” meaning “sea land”; confusingly, it is the Dutch province of Zeeland, also “sea land”, which is the namesake of New Zealand, and neither Zeeland nor New Zealand have any etymological relationship to Sjælland/Zealand). Occasionally a place name will get literally translated instead of transliterated (Nova Scotia is Nouvelle-Écosse in French and Alba Nuadh in Scottish Gaelic). Some places will have completely different names in different languages (variations on Deutchland/Germany/Alemania/Niemcy/Saksa, depending on what language you’re asking in).

Finally, as a note on fantasy names specifically, one of the central conceits of JRR Tolkien’s works is that he was translating ancient texts rather than writing original stories. In order to preserve the sense of the world as Frodo would have understood it, he translated hobbit place names to words with the same English meaning such as the Shire or Brandywine, while transliterating (copying only the sound, not the meaning) of “foreign” names like Minas Tirith or Khazad-dûm. Tolkien being Tolkien, this was an actual literal act of translation to English from a language he invented, but “use English place-name elements to convey a sense of familiarity and invented place-name elements to convey a sense of unfamiliarity” is a great general rule for fantasy authors with even the most modest of linguistic ambitions.

fantasy is so fun until you have to name your countries and make a map someone please end my misery

Estetica e coreografia dark di Marco Goecke

Quando mio padre diceva ai suoi colleghi di lavoro che suo figlio stava studiando per diventare coreografo, loro dicevano: "Ah, come Pina!".

Marco Goecke è nato a Wuppertal (la città di Pina Bausch) nel 1972. Dopo aver completato la sua formazione in danza classica a Monaco si è diplomato nel 1995 al Conservatorio Reale dell'Aia. Da subito poi, ha iniziato a lavorare come danzatore all'Opera di Stato di Berlino e al Theater Hagen dove, nel 2000, ha creato la sua prima coreografia intitolata Loch.

A partire da quel momento Goecke ha creato diversi lavori per la Noverre-Society con ballerini del Balletto di Stoccarda e per il New York Choreographic Institute che lo ha invitato. La sua cifra stilistica è stata apprezzata da subito, infatti, ha ricevuto sin dagli esordi diverse commissioni che lo hanno portato a lavorare con numerose compagnie come Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, il Norwegian National Ballet, il Pacific Northwest Ballet di Seattle e il Berlin State Ballet. Nella stagione 2005/2006 Marco Goecke è stato nominato coreografo in residenza presso il Balletto di Stoccarda e la stagione successiva presso lo Scapino Ballet di Rotterdam. Dall'anno 2013/2014 è coreografo associato presso il rinomato Nederlands Dans Theater e dal 2019 al 2023 è stato Direttore dello Staatsballett Hannover dove oggi è coreografo associato oltre all'essere Artist in Residence della Gauthier Dance.

Nel 2015 è stato nominato coreografo dell’anno dalla rivista TANZ ed è dell'anno successivo lo spettacolo che lo ha reso conosciutissimo in Italia: Nijinski (ricevendo, peraltro, sempre nel 2016 il premio Danza&Danza come miglior coreografo). Creato per la Gauthier Dance il suo Nijinski, dopo essere stato portato in scena, nel 2021 entra nel repertorio del Balletto del Teatro Massimo di Palermo.

Sempre nel 2016, esce per la Königshausen & Neumann di Würzburg, la monografia di Nadja Kadel, Dark Matter. Achtzehn ausgewählte Choreographien von Marco Goecke 2003-2015.

A Spoleto 66 lo scorso luglio, Goecke ha partecipato con l'omonimo trittico di coreografie particolarmente rappresentative della sua estetica.

«Il motore del mio lavoro è l’angoscia, può diventare una fonte di speranza. Quello che cerco di fare con i movimenti veloci del mio vocabolario è rendere visibile e palpabile l’ansia per trasformarla in bellezza. Fuggire dal corpo, scappare dai propri limiti».

Più volte la sua danza è stata definita dark, cupa. Proprio per l'urgenza di Goecke di attingere al sentire interiore e profondo le sue coreografie sono poesie visive mai didascaliche ma fortemente legate ad una precisa estetica. Esito sono coreografie forti come radici e - allo stesso tempo - delicate come petali. Il suo lavoro è, anche per questo, sempre basato sulla relazione con i danzatori e le danzatrici, con cui si approccia in modo non gerarchico. Insieme all'ensemble viene a crearsi, prova dopo prova, un forte legame scaturito dalla condivisione della ricerca. Quest'ultima, come già accennato, è sempre affacciata sul vissuto emotivo che viene poi tradotto nel linguaggio di Goecke. Il meccanismo che si instaura è, come ha affermato in un'intervista curata da Maggie Foyer per Danza&Danza (1) - «come un segreto».

«Non c’è bisogno di comprendere la danza da cima a fondo, non si può capire tutto, sarebbe noioso. Meglio lasciare scivolare ciò che si vede a un livello più profondo».

Il repertorio di Marco Goecke approderà a Scenario Pubblico con il danzatore dello Staatsballett Hannover Rosario Guerra, dall'8 al 12 maggio 2024 nell'ambito del Catania Contemporanea/Fic Fest.
