(3) Een rozengal is een vergroeiing van een rozenstruik, veroorzaakt door de Rozengalwesp (Diplolepis rosae). Deze maakt een beschadiging ergens op de plant, legt haar eitjes, spuit een stofje in waardoor op die plek van de rozenstruik een vreemdgevormde woekering ontstaat: de gal. Deze dient dan als woning voor de larven van de galwesp. A rose gall is an overgrowth of a rose bush, caused by the rose gall wasp (Diplolepis rosae). This causes damage somewhere on the plant, lays its eggs, injects a substance that causes a strangely shaped proliferation at that spot on the rose bush: the gall. This then serves as a home for the larvae of the gall wasp.

Wentke (Gown)

Mid 18th Century

The Netherlands

Women in Hindeloopen, a town in the northern Netherlandish province of Friesland, traditionally wore this type of striking lightweight coat, called a wentke, on special occasions. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, wentkes were usually made of boldly patterned Indian chintzes, and contrary to the custom in the rest of Europe of confining chintz to casual and private occasions, residents of Hindeloopen elevated this exotic fabric to a formal status. The wentke was often worn with other garments of Indian cotton. (The MET)

The flag of the province of Friesland or Frisian flag (West Frisian: Fryske Flagge; Dutch: Friese vlag), is the official flag of the Netherlands province of Friesland. It consists of four blue and three white diagonal stripes; in the white stripes are a total of seven red pompeblêden, leaves of the yellow water-lily, that may resemble hearts, but according to the official instructions "should not be heart-shaped". The jerseys of the football club SC Heerenveen and the Blauhúster Dakkapel [fy] are modeled after this flag. (Wikipedia)

The Friesian Horse

2. A photograph of "Circus Strassburger. Regina Strassburger hogeschool dressuur" from 1948, and by J. D. Noske (1902-1972).

3. Friese hengsten (c. 1954) by Kuno Brinks (1908-1992).

4. Een Fries paard by Tethart Philipp Christian Haag (1737-1812). Fries paard is the Dutch name for Friesian horses.

5. Paard uit Friesland Phryso (in English: Horse from Friesland Phryso) from c. 1578 - 1583 and attributed to Hendrick Goltzius, after a design by Jan van der Straet. Even though not referred to as a Friesian this is a horse from Friesland - the Dutch province that Friesians orginated in - that shows the same features and likely gives a sense of the breeds earlier origins and appearance.

Regional Flag Wars: Round 1, Bracket 27

[darkmaga-returns]

the Expose,

24 October, 2024

Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen are two Dutch attorneys who have worked together on several notable cases, particularly those related to the covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath.  One of those covid cases is against Bill Gates.

Gates tried to claim that the Dutch court had no jurisdiction over him.  Last week, the court ruled that it did.

Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen are representing seven claimants who alleged harm from covid injections. The case against Bill Gates and others, facilitated by the Stichting Recht Oprecht Foundation, is a significant development in the Netherlands. The case is being heard at the Leeuwarden District Court in the Dutch province of Fryslân (Friesland).

Proceedings officially began on 14 July 2023 when bailiffs travelled across the Netherlands to serve summons to the 17 defendants. Two of the defendants, Bill Gates and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, live in the United States so the Public Prosecutors Office was also served as well as summons being sent to the two men, by courier, to their addresses.  The case was due to be first heard on 22 November 2023.

Last year, Stichting Recht Oprecht’s Charles de Recht interviewed van Kessel and Stassen about the civil case being launched by a group of seven vaccine-injured Dutch citizens against Prime Minister Mark Rutte, former Minister Hugo de Jonge and several members of the Outbreak Management Team, which advised the government.

“The proceedings are being conducted on the legal basis of tort,” Stassen said.  A tort is a civil wrong that causes harm to another person by violating a protected right.

Stassen added, “The central [tenet] is that covid-19 is not a disease but an unlawful project as part of The Great Reset.”

“What makes this case special is that the entire Dutch state, this means all state ministries and institutions, are being sued by our clients for deliberately committing an unlawful act against them. And, in fact, against the entire Dutch people,” van Kessel said.

One thing that always annoys me a little is that Usamericans often use abbreviations of their states and expect everyone to just know what it means, while leaving out the country name too

Like for example, they say they are from "Amsterdam NY" instead of "United States of America, New York state, Amsterdam"

And then of course I'm like "ah so they're from Amsterdam (Netherlands) but I don't know what that ny thing means" (note; I know it means New York, the state, not the city, WHICH IS ALSO CONFUSING BTW)

Like I'm sorry but it's just, ya'll can't realistically expect the entire rest of the world to magically know all your province/state names right? Thats why you should include the country name and not abbreviate the state name

Because if I said "oh yeah I'm from Leeuwarden FL" without specifically stating which country, I bet some of ya'll would think I mean Florida in the US but no I'm talking about Friesland in the Netherlands, confusing right?

So please try to make it a little easier for us too, just like we do for you, thank you

Is there a real world equivalent accent that your OCs have? (Like even though Ireland might not exist in your world they still have something that could be considered or inspired by a Irish accent, for example)

another great question!!

for each of my ocs, i retrieve cultural inspiration from somewhere on earth. Alberich and Spera Amadea have the tightest influence!

Alberich Wiersma - I was inspired by Germanic languages and decided on the name Alberich, which originates from Old High German. Wiersma is a surname of West Frisian origin. West Frisian is a long-living language of the Dutch province, Friesland. Therefore, I picture Alberich with a strong German accent.

Spera Amadea Millefiori - Spera’s name is something I invented myself. This character is my way of portraying subtle Italian culture, and I was thinking of Italian words I could transform into a name fit for a elegant water nymph. Spera originates from the verb Sperare (to hope) and is the conjugation of he/she/it hopes. Amadea came from me always having liked the name ‘Amadeus’ - the Italian reference here is that Amadeus is the name of a well-known Italian tv-presenter - and I morphed into a Italian feminine sounding name. Turns out - it is actually an Italian / Latin name! Millefiori is the name of my favourite honey (i’m a big fan of honey). Miele di Millefiori means Wildflower Honey, which seems very fitting for a nymph. Anyway, I definitely picture Spera with a subtle italian accent, specifically a Southern-Italian accent.

- Are there any OCs from either Devil & Dove or your other projects that have some sort of influence like this?

There’s a natural ice-skating event where you tour through 11 cities in Friesland (one of the northern provinces) that’s scarily close to celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary of not being held at all on account of the lack of thick natural ice. It’s been like a solid 5 years since i’ve seen any amount of snow. Bro there’s no snow anymore. I REMEMBER THERE BEING SNOW AND IT’S NOT THERE ANYMORE BRO

Climate denialism in the netherlands is so fucking funny like. Bro the floods. They’re coming
