This rhyming, interactive, lift-the-flap, elongated board book introduces the Goodnight, Moon and Dear Zoo set to dozens of smiling animal parents and their little ones, all proudly displaying their singular tails. "Tails furry," it begins, and indeed, the tail of the tiger cub is rendered in black and orange striped fur for little fingers to stroke. "Tails spiny," the verse continues, and you'll note that the tiger is gingerly pawing the spiky spines of a porcupine. On the facing page struts a family of peacocks; the male's raised tail is long and green. "Tails rainbow-hued and-" Quick, lift the sturdy flap for the rhyming word "shiny." Oh, my! The peacock's tail is now fully open, with circles of crinkly blue shiny "eyes."
The next page contains a family gathering of raccoons, chipmunks, and foxes: "Tails stand up, Tails drag, Tails frisky-wag, wag, wag!" The happy gimmick on this page is the sturdy pull-tab that makes the foxes' tails wag to the left and right. There will be squealing by this point. Rendered in cartoon-like pen and ink and watercolors, the animals spill and tumble across each white page. Other families represented include familiar animals like panda, alligators, and pigs, and ones you might not even know, such as pangolins, weasels, and tamarins. Children will have a grand time lifting flaps, pulling tabs, stroking the bumpy green tails of the daddy croc, and even scratch-and-sniffing the skunk's tail. The final display of the ten animals, arrayed across the page, reveals one last game to play. Each animal is labeled by name and a number. Now go back and reread the story to locate and count 1 skunk, 2 tigers, 3 foxes, and all the way up to 10 pigs. Your kids will be checking out the tails of all the animals they encounter from now on. And so will you.

Credit card and debit card fraud happen when someone uses your card, card information or personal identification number (PIN) without your permission. The person may get your information electronically or steal your card from your wallet or mailbox. The fraudster then uses the card to make purchases or to withdraw money from your account.
Debit card fraud can be even more damaging than credit card fraud. With credit cards, most financial institutions have a zero liability policy and will reimburse you for fraudulent charges. With debit card fraud, scammers remove the funds directly from your account, so your money is gone. The financial institution has to do an investigation before you get reimbursed.
In either case, if you gave someone your personal identification number (PIN) or carelessly let them see it, or if you used a password that is easy to guess, the financial institution may refuse to reimburse you.

Q: App_Offline.htm being created by Visual Studio 2017 I'm using Visual Studio 2017 to run a web application project that was mostly developed with Visual Studio 2015. However, I never created the file "App_Offline.htm" file. No one on my team added it, either. It just randomly showed up while running Visual Studio 2017 and testing it out.
Looking up the issue on here, I found This application is currently offline. To enable the application, remove the app_offline.htm file from the application root directory where an answer stated:

Just go to the root of your web directory, it should be there. it is something that VS puts there during certain tasks.

This is unacceptable behaviour for testing a web application. This version of Visual Studio is unusable if Visual Studio "just decides" to make my web application offline. This answer/question is for an earlier version of Visual Studio, but if this feature used to be there then I assume that it must still be there because it seems to be the only way the file showed up.
What specific tasks would make this file appear in the solution folder? How can I prevent it?

A: This occurs when someone from your team kicks off a web deploy. It first reaches out to the mapped IIS directory and removes all the files and places that file in there (and maps to it for anyone hitting the page) until your new build is fully deployed. VS doesn't just decide to do things, it was being reactive to one of your team members actions. The web deploy probably failed and you got stuck with this file there instead of an empty directory. It should have given whoever kicked off the deploy a fat failed error.
I believe there is a full web deploy log located on the server event viewer under Apps and services logs > Microsoft > Windows > WebDeploy thatyou can check
There should also be something under Inetpub > logs as well.
This is something that most people do not know unless they are specifically watching the folder structure during a deploy. You would also start to become more highly aware of it if you were using TFS auto builds and customizing build templates.
Sorry for your frustration.

What are food processing residuals?
Food Processing Residuals, or FPRs, are by-products generated during the processing, packaging, and other operations of food industries, whose application to land benefit crop growth and soil productivity. FPRs fall into two main categories: vegetative waste and residuals waste. Vegetative wastes include such things as peels, hulls, stems, skins, and seeds left over from trimming, reject sorting, cleaning, pressing, cooking and other food processing operations. Residual wastes are solid materials removed during the physical, chemical, or biological treatment of wastewater in a food processing plant.
FPRs are considered "cake" or "liquid" materials based on the solids content. This classification determines how a material is transported and managed at the land application site, with each type of material requiring different transportation and application equipment.
FPRs are separate from sanitary input, and do not include process wastewater.
Why are FPRs land applied?
FPRs are land applied as either a soil conditioner or fertilizer based on the C:N ratio and N content of each material.
Residuals used as soil conditioners have high C:N ratios and low amounts of N. Soil conditioners contribute to organic matter content of the soil, soil structure and aggregation, and soil moisture retention.
Materials with a low C:N ratio and high N contents are mainly used as fertilizers, serving secondarily as a soil conditioner. Depending on the amount of nitrogen present in the FPR, it can be used solely or in conjunction with other fertilizer materials to supply the nitrogen requirements of a crop.
How is the use of FPRs beneficial to the land owner?
FPRs are beneficial in agriculture as fertilizers or soil conditioners. Chemical fertilizer application rates and irrigation needs can be reduced by the amounts provided through the application of FPRs. When used as a soil conditioner, FPRs increase the levels of organic matter in the soil, which can increase the soil's water holding capacity and allow plant available nutrients to remain in the root zone for longer time periods.
What types of crops are good for land application?
Crops that are appropriate for the land application of FPRs are field crops such as corn, legumes, grasses, ornamental nursery stock and some vegetable and fruit crops. When incorporation of the FPRs is required, the timing of application and field availability need to be considered. Legume crops that produce nodules to supply N by fixation are recommended for soils where high C:N organic wastes are applied as soil conditioners. Winter cover crops are recommended when using FPRs as N fertilizers to minimize leaching of residual nitrate.
Who is responsible for managing the land application of FPRs?
The food processing company generating the FPRs is responsible for permitting its materials and adhering to all requirements under the land application permit. The land application company is responsible for managing operations at the site, delivery of materials to the site, employing proper application practices, and determining application rates. The land application company and the land owner should work together to decide who will be responsible for developing and maintaining a conservation site plan, incorporating material into the soil if required, soil sampling and analysis, and nutrient management recordkeeping.
Does my farm need an RMS to receive FPRs?
An RMS or Conservation plan is required to be filed with the local NRCS office and implemented prior to and during application for agricultural land application sites. The RMS should address all resource concerns of the farm, such as erosion control, pest management, crop rotation, pasture management, nutrient management, wildlife considerations, etc.
The parties responsible for the development, filing, and implementation of the plan and the practices required under the plan should be agreed upon between the site owner and land application company prior to and land application activity.
How do you handle potential issues that may come up with my neighbors?
Potential problems with land application can be avoided with timely application and incorporation of materials. Problems can also be reduced it the wastes are processed by composting. Incorporation aids in waste degradation, odor reduction, and wind distribution of organic wastes applied. Mixing the waste into the soil reduces run-off of organic wastes and volatilization of ammonia from wastes used as N fertilizers.
Incorporation can negatively affect crop residue cover and thereby increase soil erosion; therefore, it is not required when there is 75% ground cover protection from residue.
What equipment is required to apply FPRs on land?
Once an FPR is delivered to a farm for land application, it needs to be spread and possibly incorporated into the soil. Equipment necessary for the spreading and incorporation of FPRs varies depending on soil types, crops grown, and the type of waste being spread. Loading and applying cake FPRs requires tractor front end loaders and rear or side-delivery manure spreaders. Chisel plows, rototillers, moldboard plows or offset discs can be tailored to incorporate the specific form of waste used. Liquid FPRs can be injected directly into the soil using an injector such as an ag-gator.
Are permits required to land apply FPRs?
The approval of an FPR for land application is determined based on its potential to benefit crop growth and soil productivity when applied to land. Analyses for nutrient content are required prior to and during land application operations to determine application rates and track nutrient loading.
FPRs are permitted by the state in which the food processing operations are located. The food processor, not the farmer, is responsible for obtaining all permitting for the land application of FPRs. A general permit is not required for each application site.
What parameters guide the land application of FPRs?
Considerations made when land applying FPRs include such parameters as the value of the material for beneficial use, the suitability of the site's topography and soils, and crop nutrient requirements. Weather conditions and field availability during crop season help determine when and where materials are applied.
What site requirements exist for land application?
The land application of FPRs is governed by site requirements included in the materials permits. Fields that should be avoided for land application are those with slopes greater than 12%, near waterways, and with high water tables or bedrock within 24 inches of the soil surface. FPRs should not be applied to flooded, frozen, or snow-covered ground. Application of FPRS shall not exceed the annual nitrogen requirement of the crop to be established, or exceed the hydraulic loading rate capacity of the site's soils. FPRs need to be incorporated within 48 hours unless the slope of the land is less than 5% or crop residue or vegetative land cover of at least 75% is present to prevent run-off of materials.
Are there site restrictions for land applying FPRs?
Land application of FPRs shall only proceed on a site if the agricultural conservation or soil erosion sediment control plan (RMS) is on file with the local NRCS office and implemented to manage site-related impacts from land application. Other restrictions, such as setbacks from surface water bodies or property boundaries, can be required by the FPR permit to manage potential impacts of applying the material.
What might restrict an FPR from being land applied?
Conditions which preclude a FP by-product from land application are excessive pollutant levels, pathogen contamination, and potential for nuisance conditions to occur when land applied. Permitting of materials excludes those that would not meet land application requirements. Nuisance conditions are prevented or minimized through setbacks, application methods (such as incorporation into the soil), and adherence to RMS guidelines.

In what ways can our understanding of the heritage of an area help in rebuilding it? What role does the suspended bridge of Deir Ezzor play in the culture and consciousness of the city?
Syria is distinguished by its great cultural diversity. It is the vessel that contains an ancient heritage with a specificity that uniquely identifies it. This cultural heritage has been facing existential dangers during the last ten years. I describe heritage as a being with a shape, sense of sound and smell, who lives in the conscience, has a history and memories, and has an identity like any other Syrian.
To be able to reconstruct a destroyed heritage, we must be fully aware of all the architectural, artistic, constructional, historical, social and technical details of this heritage. All these aspects go hand in hand. Work in archaeological buildings is determined by the special study of the building as it was before and after the damage. The international conventions concerned with restoration work refer to the foundations of this process. However, technical and detailed executive studies must be drawn for each project separately.

One needs to bear in mind that the restoration and reconstruction works do not have fixed templates, ready formulas, or specific methods that apply to different cases. Every project must be studied as a case with its own specificity, independence and details based on the foundations and methodology of work in this field, and in the reconstruction of Syrian heritage.
As for a suspension bridge, it is the memory and identity of the Euphrates and the symbol of Deir Ezzor. Despite it being a recent construction, it has features that made the people of the region feel attached to it. Not only does this bridge provide a link between the banks of the Levantine and the Jazeera, it also connects the memories of the locals to the events that passed through it. There is a tradition in the region by which most newlywed couples cross this bridge, thus beginning their married lives. This is a turning event that they start in honour of a new life, as they call it, and a ritual associated with the Euphrates mixed with a lot of romance.
The heritage is enriched and influenced by the architectural style of the bridge. The French engineer, Monsieur Vivo, was influenced architecturally by the arches of the old markets built in 1864, to make each pillar three arches, according to a unique pattern that links the past to the present. Turning 10 km. to the west, you will find yourself in a completely different environment and culture from that in the Euphrates.
For people of Deir Ezzor, the suspension bridge is also a symbol of "resistance" when the French wanted to blow it up. It is a "tall building" with its columns visible from long distances, a link between two banks as it is a link between two lovers. It is also French influence that imprinted the area with its icon and contributed to the consolidation of its local heritage. All that history made rebuilding the bridge a duty that locals have to fulfill, out of gratitude and also to preserve a part of the region's history.
How did you get interested in archeology? Where and how were you trained?
I consider myself lucky to have grown up in an environment that loves heritage. My father, the late Ahmed Chouhan, is a historian and researcher who wrote 107 books on history, archeology and the region's heritage, and this love influenced me. I chose the College of Arts and Humanities, department of archeology, at the University of Damascus because it is one of the best options for higher education. Despite my preference for history and geography, archeology provided me with two desires in the field of excavations and archaeological surveys. My studies began in 1994, and I then worked on joint Syrian-foreign archaeological projects. I worked as a trainee at Bab Al-Faraj in Aleppo in 1995, and Ras Ibn Hani in Lattakia for two seasons. Upon graduation I worked at the Ashara site (Tarqa). There, I was employed at the Department of Antiquities of Deir Ezzor and represented the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums at Sukkar Al-Ahimer and Tal Al-Sheikh Hamad. After that, I worked as the head of the Syrian team in the joint Syrian-French archaeological mission working in Dura Europos for five excavation seasons, as well as being the head of the Syrian side in the Syrian-French archaeological mission. The team worked at the Halabiya site "Zenobia" three seasons. Also, I worked as a head of the national mission in Tal Al-Qasabi, as well as at Al-Rahba Castle in Al-Mayadeen for five excavation seasons, and head of the Archaeological Excavations Division, and Assistant Secretary of the Deir Ezzor National Museum.

How can technology be better utilized in the future to protect cultural sites in the region?
Owing to advances in technology, the classical work in field excavations is no longer feasible. We can say that the era of the archaeologist who wears a hat and smokes a pipe then sends pieces from antiquity to his country has ended. I believe that the projects that will be proposed in the reconstruction phase will have an abundant share of antiquities in the region. During these ten years of the war in Syria, knowledge in this field has significantly declined among many archaeologists as a result of not working in archaeological sites and not being up to date on the advancement in this field. Besides, there are modern techniques in the field of preserving antiquities, such as documentation or chemicals in maintenance and stone processing, electronic documentation or 3D camera imaging, and even using secret water, which helps in tracking artifacts smuggled outside the country by using monitoring techniques by satellite, and photographing the sites through remote sensing, and following up on every change and attack on them, etc. All of these greatly contribute to reducing the violations of archaeological sites. In addition, many other techniques have been employed in documenting archaeological sites and architectural monuments, which allow rebuilding the destroyed parts of the sites. Some modern technologies such as museum protection programs, self-locking, early warning devices, theft and automatic extinguishing all work to ensure better protection for artifacts.
The river Euphrates -known as Furat in Arabic-, embeds very ancient cultural heritage connected with the history of the Mesopotamian region known as the Fertile Crescent. This heritage is in danger of disappearing. What do you suggest we could do to value this intangible heritage as part of our common heritage?
This region is rich in knowledge and applied science. Despite many ambitious attempts to revive the culture associated with intangible heritage, it was not at the required level compared to as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Perhaps the most important aspect that can be done is to provide an appropriate climate for acquiring knowledge through available learning methods. Also focusing on this heritage within the curricula as a main subject for understanding and preserving heritage, networking among researchers, providing information through reliable main sources and providing material support through institutions that sponsor this. It is crucial to focus on the research aspect, publishing the results of research and studies at the local and international levels, and presenting the Syrian and Rafidi heritage alike as a product of a single human cultural heritage away from sectarian and ethnic tensions. Additionally, it is important to disseminate and deepen knowledge of the Fourati heritage or scientific research that is characterized by creative ideas, interactive dialogue, and studies that serve the region and systematically introduce them. In spite of the attempts to document intangible heritage, the last of which was in 2013, these projects need constant updating, and if this were to be done, we would have within a few years a heritage treasure that is comparable in its diversity to any other region of the world.

If we look at the Euphrates, we find that a great civilization was established there and we still lean on the texts of ancient civilizations and live by the glories of the past. Many peoples have witnessed their rise and fall here, many great battles took place on the banks of the Euphrates and many civilizations have left us Myths, beliefs, and etiquette.
Having worked with foreign archaeological missions, how does what they bring to the table compare to what is offered by local experts?
The Syrian Archaeological School is a relatively new school compared to the foreign schools who are leading in the field. Orientalists are fascinated by the East and its ruins. The Syrian archaeological cadre had its beginning in 1994 with the establishment of the Department of Archeology in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Damascus. Syrian archaeologists always strive to form an archaeological entity that is a mixture of several schools through which they extract the best experiences and techniques. In my opinion, archaeological work is based on a mixture of all human sciences in one field, which is what you live through during that period in which you are working on an excavation. I admit that there is a great failure in the presentation, especially since it is necessary to present the archaeological work and research in its simplest forms because the recipient aspires to live the experience of the archaeologist in its details.
Perhaps the most important aspect that can be done is to provide an appropriate climate for acquiring knowledge through available learning methods.
Tell us about intangible heritage, being orally communicated in nature, how can we educate the youth who live abroad about it?
Many who are not familiar with the intangible heritage consider it a source of backwardness that is on the verge of extinction due to the emergence of many more modern means and tools. However, during the Syrian crisis, the Syrian became more attached to heritage, because it naturally expresses identity. We find the younger generation singing about the Nile and remembering Tanour bread and Baladi cheese, and using it in their conversations and compliments, proverbs and popular poetry. It is a living proof that one cannot part with this heritage.
However, heritage is in a state of alienation as well, and the generation must be introduced to more accurate and original details in the arts and traditions of performances, such as tapping the tambourine, the dancing of grace, and popular games such as sword and gear, etc., or social practices, rituals and celebrations, such as festive rituals, culinary arts, reconciliation celebrations, and tanning. Such knowledge and practices relate to nature and the universe, such as the symbolism of fire in the region of Jazeera, clay architecture, perfumery, etc., or traditions and oral expressions as a medium for expressing heritage, such as reproach, Bedouin poetry and lamentations, with the exception of skills related to traditional craftsmanship such as rug making, Dalal coffee making and silversmithing.
It is possible to educate the younger generation by attracting them to heritage activities that constitute the identity of the country to which they belong. Forums, theater houses and heritage festivals in Europe may allow the younger generation to be aware of the specificity and distinction of this heritage. In addition, food also plays a role, and they can introduce the Syrian cuisine in Europe. Furthermore, it is important to make friends through cultural associations and centers that work to preserve cultural identity. I dream of establishing a center for the Syrian Euphrates heritage and publishing studies on the Middle Euphrates Valley region, inside or outside Syria, to revive this heritage rich in all its details.
Are there any significant female figures related to the cultural heritage of the Euphrates region? Who and why?
The Euphratean woman is a heritage treasure. Her whole life is linked to the details of this legacy. So we find among the Euphratean women those who preserved the weeping traditions and lamentations of the dead, such as the Qasuda Khurmat al-Suleiman originating in the middle of the nineteenth century, whose poems documented the rituals of mourning the dead and much of the reality of the Euphrates life in that period. Women played vital roles in preserving the heritage. For example, we have Labiba al-Dakhil, Maria al-Sabbagh, Mohsen al-Ayyash and Tamadur al-Mouh, whose popular poetry was able to preserve the authentic Euphratean character.
Would you consider cuisine as part of the cultural heritage? How in your opinion can the cuisine of the Euphrates area be better recognized and appreciated in Syria and beyond on par with the cuisines of Aleppo and Damascus?
The cuisine is considered one of the most important parts of the cultural heritage. This is due to the fact that it is associated with many rituals, especially the cuisine of the Euphrates region. For example, the Fora or Siali dish is a winter meal that is usually eaten on Fridays and friends are invited over. Or Thrud Okra, which is considered a symbol of the Deir Ezzor cuisine. Apart from that all kinds of types of home-made jams form part of this heritage.
Euphratean cuisine did not get an opportunity to be discovered. It is no less diverse than the rest of the Syrian cuisine. Despite its originality dating back more than three thousand years, it is also a mixture of what the food culture holds in the Syrian island or the Turkish and Iraqi cuisines. So, we are facing a long tradition in gastronomy, diversity, and culinary arts, and therefore it is easy to introduce it in Syria or abroad through a program that provides recipes and ingredients of traditional Euphrates cooking. I have seen during my work with many foreign archaeological expeditions that the Westerners tend to explore Euphrates food in a desire to break the routine of food, which depends mostly on fast food.
For many thousands of years, the region has been inhabited by the Bedouin community, a society of nomadic tribes. Apart from the ancient tradition of Oral Storytelling, The Hakawati, Bedouin heritage has largely been ignored and undervalued; what is your view on this?
The region, and Syria in particular, has become less interested in maintaining the Bedouin heritage, compared to the Gulf countries, for example. This heritage has not been entrenched in the minds of young people. Adding to that, the loss of heritage is directly related to catching up with urban, technical and linguistic developments at the expense of originality
The Bedouin heritage is closely related to the history of the Arab region as a whole and does not recognize its current modern borders. It is a transnational heritage that spreads and disseminates its originality, poems, traditions and distinction.

This cultural depth goes back to more than five thousand years, but recently the authority's approach to settling Bedouins has taken a different direction. Bedouin culture is gradually dissolving in the face of civil development. Consequently, some societies bid farewell to the Bedouin life in a manner that resembles a social upheaval, and others preserved it or the little of what remains of this heritage. The media plays the biggest role in the absence of this important aspect of the Syrian heritage, especially during the last ten years, where we find a decline in the presentation of drama, which were to some extent documenting the Bedouin lifestyle. I find that ignoring this heritage is a dangerous step aimed at eliminating or excluding this heritage in an effort to eliminate the tribal interconnectedness that characterizes the Bedouins and transcends borders. In addition, the Bedouin heritage is linked to tangible and tangible elements, yet it faces danger of being eliminated.
The preservation of Bedouin culture varies. For example, we find that the Bedouins adhere to the traditions of the Bedouin wedding even if they become urbanites, and at the same time, this tradition remains sustainable to the extent that they respect their own traditions. At the same, Bedouins differ in their passion for civic life and in their preparedness to ignore their traditions and assimilate.
How do you feel about the current state of Arabic calligraphy as a form of expression and art in Deir EzZor?
Arabic calligraphy was and still is one of the most important forms of artistic expression in Deir Ezzor. Although Arabic calligraphy entered the field of abstract art, it began to shift away from the originality and lose it little by little, after the computer programs contributed to losing its original Arabic flavor. Deir Ezzor was famous for its great calligraphers on an international level, such as Muhammad al-Qadi, Ubaida al-Banki, Mahmoud Hassan, and Walid Alloush, who was my teacher. There are also calligraphers who mixed abstract art with the Arabic script. Thus, the paintings were rich in color, beautifully shaped, and highly original. From the perspective of those artists those paintings are more liberated from the strict rules of calligraphy.
What books and documentaries would you recommend to those who want to learn about the unique culture, heritage, and arts of the area?
The region of the Middle Euphrates Valley has been studied by influential researchers, such as the late Abdul Qadir Ayyash and Ahmed Shuhan. These two researchers left a great impact, such as the magazine "Voice of the Euphrates" that talks about the region of the Middle Euphrates Valley and its customs and traditions. Their books like the History of Deir Ezzor, The Euphrates Flags, and other heritage books. Also, the book of the Ghannama Clans by Henry Charles. As for the documentaries that talk about the region's heritage, they are few. What we need is a new approach in short documentaries. I think that the spontaneous documentation in sound and image is more interactive and intimate than the film material prepared for it.

This page is to provide some background into the life of Natalie Gray and her extraordinary experience in 2012, best described as a Near Death Experience, which continues to inspire a large portion of this podcast.
Prior to this event, on February 23rd 2012, Natalie had no interest in nor background in science. Her entire life had been happily spent entrenched in arts and entertainment, from theatre in England to being a fixture in Canadian television and then moving to Los Angeles where she became an internationally touring stand-up comedienne.
Natalie is also a self taught painter whose work has been sold around the world. One of her most incredible accomplishments was painting a reproduction of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling in Los Angeles in 2001.
On February 23rd 2012 everything would change!
On Feb 23rd 2012 Natalie had an extraordinary experience, best described as a Near Death Experience, during which her blood pressure crashed and she began speaking scientific information. There were two people who witnessed the event. In Natalie's words…
I had almost fainted and was assisted to a couch where I could lie down. I was ice cold, my teeth chattering even though it was warm outside, so they placed a very heavy blanket over me.
I remained conscious, half sat up on the couch – and then – I couldn't see my body – it had disappeared! I felt no fear, but my body was gone and now in front of me was an infinite grid of energy balls, flawlessly aligned like a great lattice grid.
Although the grid was in front of me, I could look back over my shoulder and see the other people in the room, as though the two worlds were layered, like an old VHS cassette where you can still see the original recording showing through – but each was very clear. And then I began to speak – 'Everything is an illusion. It is all our perception of an infinite range of frequencies and vibrations.'
And so began an enormous stream of information, all of which has been confirmed to be true. Even the statement you have just read. According to modern science and quantum physics, there is no solid matter. Everything in our world, including our physical bodies, is made up of energy. What were thought to be 'solid' atoms have now been discovered to be comprised of small packets of energy that come into and out of existence. What we see on the light spectrum represents a minuscule fraction of what is actually there. It is the same for our hearing.
Natalie spoke of many things during her experience, from the nature of time and reality to the primitive nature of our physical bodies. Although frightened she would not remember, she recalled everything and promptly wrote a 20,000 word document detailing not only the experience, but also the events that were to follow, which were almost as extraordinary as the experience itself!
Since this experience in 2012 (which Natalie simply refers to as 'my experience') she has had an insatiable thirst for research in matters ranging from sound healing and vibrational medicine, to quantum physics and the nature of reality – and, most recently, ham radio! Hence, although this podcast features Hollywood celebrities and notables from the world of comedy and entertainment, it also attracts some of the greatest minds on our planet including renowned international authors, scientists from NASA, and even people who, like Natalie, have had their own lives dramatically changed by an extraordinary experience – one that is literally out of this world!
You can listen to The Gray Escape with Natalie Gray right here on this site, and it is also available on iTunes, Android and everywhere that podcasts can be found.
Although most listeners enjoy the traditional audio podcast format, since the 2020 pandemic Natalie has also been making some of the recent episodes available in full video.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the show!

A Tale of Two (Kansas City) Royals
curiousKC Explains How the Baseball Team Got its Name

There are two famous royals in the Kansas City area – the Kansas City Royals and the American Royal.
Both boast their own version of the World Series – one competes with a ball and a bat, and the other with smoke and meat. But are they somehow linked?
That's what a curiousKC questioner wondered. More specifically, they asked, is the baseball team named after the famous livestock show?
The short answer is yes, thanks in part to a man called Sanford Porte of Overland Park. In 1968, the expansion baseball team's new owner, Ewing Kauffman, staged a contest to determine the best name.
"(Porte) suggested, in recognition of Missouri's billion-dollar livestock industry, that the American Royal best exemplified that through its pageantry and parade, and that the new team should be named the Royals," said Bob Peterson, the former CEO of the American Royal, in a 2014 interview with NPR.

But there was once another Kansas City Royals, according to the MLB. Managed by a former Kansas City Monarch Chet Brewer, it comprised Major League and Negro League players for the 1945 California Winter League. A fun fact: Jackie Robinson played for the Kansas City Monarchs and the old Royals.
Indeed, agriculture has played a huge part of Kansas City's past and present.
The American Royal Livestock Show dates back to 1899, when it was originally known as the National Hereford Show. Initially, the show focused on cattle and horse exhibitions in the West Bottoms stockyard district.
The first show was staged in a tent but soon exploded in popularity. In the early 1900s, the American Royal became famous as a celebration of agriculture. By the 1950s, it added events such as horse shows, rodeo and barbecue competitions.

Kansas City didn't have a major league baseball team until 1955, when it briefly became the home of the Kansas City (formerly Philadelphia) Athletics. After the Athletics moved on to Oakland after the 1967 season, Major League Baseball moved quickly to expand to 24 teams, including one in Kansas City. The newly dubbed Kansas City Royals played their first game at old Municipal Stadium near downtown in 1969.

And that's how the city's two-time World Series champion got its name – to honor the city's barnyard roots, set smack dab in the agricultural hub of the Midwest.

chrisvenus, you are so cool!
chrisvenus is really cool because he's from England and as we all know, the English are much cooler than us Americans are.
Actually, chrisvenus is a really sweet guy who was really nice to me when I was in England. He put up with my silly and garish American ways. He even took me on a date once to a pub where they had flavored condoms in the bathroom. I remember there were "strawberries and cream" and "whiskey" ones. Unfortunately, things never got close to a point where we would have the opportunity to use one of them, but I'm glad that we stayed friends.
chrisvenus is one of the few people who I met in England that I still keep in contact with. He also was open to the idea of me throwing hermionesviolin at him when she went to England too. He keeps threatening to visit me in the States. Maybe one day he'll make good on that threat.

Grades 1 - 3

					In these early years, kids start experiencing what being a Jewish child is about, through games, crafts, storytelling, dance, and drama, with children their same age. They learn about the Jewish holiday cycle and biblical characters, and simple prayers and blessings. Lots of singing, lots of activities, lots of fun.

					First grade is about making new friends and learning about the major Jewish holidays.

					Second graders explore nature and ways of taking care of the earth and associated Jewish holidays and practices.

					Third grade focuses on holiday traditions. By then, children will be able to discuss the meaning of courage as it applies to the story of the Maccabees and to their own sense of Jewish identity.

					Grades 1–3 meet on Sunday morning at a public school in Winchester, a five-minute drive from the Temple.

Parent Community Organization

						While children are in the classroom, parents can have a cup of coffee and relax at the Parent Café, organized by the Parent Community Organization (PCO), a confederation of parents involved in planning activities that connect parents with other parents in grades 1–3.

DENVER — With its participants excelling at home this season, the first-round playoff series between the second-seeded Nuggets and the seventh-seeded Spurs could come down to who is better equipped to steal one in hostile territory.
Denver was an NBA-best 34-7 at home this season. The Nuggets were 2-0 at the Pepsi Center against the Spurs, who have lost five of their past six in the Mile High City over the past four years.
On the road, Denver finished 20-21 after losing four of its last five away games, including the last three in a row.
The Spurs were 32-9 at home, including 2-0 against the Nuggets, to tie Portland for the second-best home record in the West.
Their play on the road, though, was a different matter.
Spurs' Derrick White (04) walks back to the bench after scoring against the Atlanta Hawks in the fourth quarter of their game at the AT&T Center on Tuesday, Apr. 2, 2019. Spurs defeated the Hawks, 117-111.
Dragged down by a franchise-worst 1-7 rodeo road trip, the Spurs were just 16-25 away from the AT&T Center.
But after winning five of their last eight road games, including their final two, the Spurs believe they may have put their road woes to rest.
Still, the Spurs' road troubles are nothing new. They've lost their past five road playoff games since beating Houston 114-75 in Game 6 of the 2017 Western Conference semifinals.
But despite their sterling record in Colorado, the Nuggets are under no illusions that playing at the Pepsi Center against the battle-tested Spurs guarantees a win.
"We just gotta go in there with (the mentality that) it's a war," Denver swingman Will Barton said after the Nuggets' 99-95 win over Minnesota on Wednesday that locked up the No. 2 seed.
Coach Michael Malone blames Denver's 5-6 record in the last 11 games of the regular season on his young Nuggets letting down after clinching a playoff berth March 18.
Denver scored the final 15 points in Wednesday's win over the shorthanded Timberwolves to snap a two-game losing streak and secure the second seed.
Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan reportedly attended Thursday's memorial service for his friend, Grammy-nominated rapper Ermias Asghedom, better known as Nipsey Hussle.
TMZ reported DeRozan and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook were among the guests at the service at the Staples Center. Asghedom was shot and killed in Los Angeles on March 31 outside his clothing store. He was 33.
Asghedom, a native of L.A., was beloved in the city for his community-building efforts. DeRozan and Westbrook are also Los Angeles natives.
The Spurs were off Thursday. They are set to work out at their practice facility today before flying to Denver.
Spurs guard Patty Mills made sure to thank the team's medical staff after Wednesday night's 105-94 win over Dallas for its role in helping him play in all 82 games this season.
Mills and guard Bryn Forbes are the only two players on the team who didn't miss a game this season.
It's the second straight season Mills has played in all 82 games. He's logged 80 more games in five of the past six campaigns, including the past four in a row.


BUENOS AIRES, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Argentina issued two rounds of bonds on Thursday worth about $3.2 billion, the government said.
A round of notes known as "National Bonds of Argentina 2020" for up to $2.3 billion were issued today and will expire in 18 months, the government said in an official notice. The bonds have an average annual interest rate of 8 percent.
Argentina also issued a round of four-year peso-denominated treasury bonds for a total of 36,500 million pesos (about $949 million). Those bonds will pay 8.5 percent, plus the official "CER" inflation reference rate.

"Is seaport the Maasvlakte the gateway of northwestern Europe? No? Is it Europoort then? No? Is it the Botlek port area? Is it Vlaardingen? No? Surely it's the city of Rotterdam! Say what? Okay, final guess. Since you guys only talk and brag about Frisia, is it the town of Vreeswijk, perhaps?"
Sorry to disappoint you. None of these options are correct. It is the town of Dorestat, currently known as Wijk bij Duurstede. Simply called Wijk or Waik by its inhabitants.
Dorestat entered history in the mid-seventh century, and in style: with gold. Golden coins to be precise. These coins were produced by mint-masters Rimoaldus and Madelinus, and carried the name Dorestat fit 'made in Dorestat'. Read our post Porcupines bore U.S. bucks to learn more about both these coins as the immense trading connections of Dorestat. Later, well into the ninth century, (silver) money coins were being minted still. Carrying the more jazzed-up name Dorestado in the meantime. At the end of the seventh century, Dorestat appears in written sources too. These texts spoke about Dorestat as the vicus famosus 'famous town', or the vicus nominatissimus 'town of great repute'.
Early-medieval settlement Dorestat became the biggest shipping hub of northwest Europe. Initially, the trade consisted of less voluminous but very valuable goods like oil, wine from the Frankish hinterland, lead and tin from the British Isles, and, of course, pallia Fresonica 'Frisian cloth'. More luxurious articles for both the secular and clerical elites soon followed, like honey, furs, amber, incense, papyrus, spices and ivory. But also think of figs, dates, olives and garum 'fish sauce' (Van der Tuuk 2021). Wine dominated the Rhine trade for much of the Middle Ages. In the year 1390 the city of Cologne imported 26 million litres of wine, illustrating how massive and long-lasting this trade was. Wine represented about a third of the total trade during the Late Middle Ages transported to the lower river Rhine. Timber was the second most important commodity with about ten percent of the total volume (Hendriksma 2017).
Over the course of the seventh century, Dorestat had become the clearing-house between the wider North Sea region and the hinterland of the rivers Rhine and Moselle, in what is today Germany. It had trade connections in the west with England, in the north with southern Scandinavia, and via the river Meuse with northern France. Its location was central. At a spot where the river Rhine forks into the river Rhine proper (also known as the river Kromme Rijn literally 'bended Rhine') to the northwest, and the river Lek to the west.
Besides being the clearing house for bulk goods, raw materials and luxury trade goods, local artisan production was also part of the trade, albeit to a lesser extent. At first, in the seventh and eighth centuries, mainly by crafting with local raw materials such as antler, bone, leather and wood. But later, in the ninth century, also with imported materials such as glass, metal, amber, and probably ivory (Van Doesburg 2016)
coinage of Dorestat: left golden coin ca. 650; right silver coin ca. 800
Yes, Dorestat was a true batwing door. Between the European continent and the North Sea. Linking the maritime to the terrestrial world, and vice versa. Trade going through in both directions. And, those licentious saloons in the Wild West we know from the Western movies, had these swinging doors for a practical reason. They facilitated suppliers to carry their goods in and out, without too much hassle. No need using your hands. You could use both your hands to carry stuff. Because batwing doors are half-sized doors, they are not too heavy to push open either. Illustrative for the American straightforwardness way of thinking.
Smooth flow of people and goods. Exactly where Dorestat was all about. An open settlement without fortified stone walls. Without powerful clergy and, initially, without kings and emperors. It was a place of private trading and money-making for individual benefit. Economic liberalism at its purest. When one comes to think of it, Dorestat wás in fact the Wild West, the western frontier. Behind it, impenetrable swamps, dark forests and dangerous seas. Above, Dorestat marked the border between the Christian world and the still heathen world of the Frisians and the far north. In other words, a corner of civilization. A borderland. From a continental perspective, that is.
A Chinese seaport – The economic axis of the rivers Rhine and Meuse estuaries with the Rhineland in Germany is ancient. Dorestat had this head position at first. Later the towns of Tiel and Vlaardingen took over. After that Rotterdam took over forming the axis with what was named the Ruhr area in the meantime. Today the maritime fleet of the river Rhine amounts 6,900 ships transporting 310 million tons annually. Good money for the Rhine countries the Netherlands, Germany, France, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. But another party is buying-in: China. This country already holds a great share of the port of Rotterdam.
Early-seventh-century Dorestat developed into a modest trading place under sphere of influence of Frisia. Frisian merchants and their proto-type cog ships dominated the trade in northwestern Europe. At the beginning of the eighth century, however, Dorestat came under the sphere of influence of the Franks. To become part of the pagus 'district Upgoa, or in Dutch language Opgooi or 't Goy (Van Bemmel, et all 2022). It gave the Frankish kings the advantage to especially tax bulk goods (Loveluck 2006). Frisian merchants and businessmen, however, continued doing their business with their freight ships and gigantic oversees network. But also as skippers transporting goods back and forth to the Rhineland and the Meuse basin. The early-medieval Liana Engibarjans, so to speak. Dorestat even grew in importance and reputation under Frankish royal rule. It was a Frankish-Frisian commerce.
Its heydays were from the second half of the eighth century until the first quarter of the ninth century. From then on, archaeological data no longer shows expansion of jetties, quays and docks. The production of coin stagnated as well. At the end of the ninth century, Dorestat was abandoned. Overall, still, more than two centuries of being a leading city in international European trade.
different artist impressions of early-medieval Dorestat
Massive archaeological excavations in the '60s and '70s revealed a settlement of ribbon development along the western bank of the river Rhine, about three kilometres in length. Encompassing 250 hectares. It had an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 inhabitants which were amazing numbers those days (Van Bemmel, et al 2022). Today we call them Waikers. A two-meter-wide road ran along the riverbank aligned with houses and warehouses. In a right angle with the riverbank, numerous jetties annex dams were built. The jetties were about six to seven meters wide. In the center of the settlement, these jetties were up to 200 meters long. Now, that is what we call a jetty! Probably, on top of the jetties warehouses and houses were built too. Behind the warehouses, standing along the riverbank road, were farmsteads. Quite big ones. About six meters wide and twenty-five meters long. Many had an oblong, ship-shaped lay-out. And not only quays and jetties. From an early nineteenth century charter we know that the riverbanks sections belonging to the church where traders could moor their ships and pitch their tents to trade (Van der Tuuk 2021).
Yet, Dorestat was a modest-looking place. Not monumental, like Cologne or Tours (Abulafia 2019). The lay-out of Dorestat was typical Frisian. Expressing individualism and a strong sense of private property. Every merchant had its own house, storage, quay, ship and sweet water well. No communal storage of goods. Packed closely, but each made itself into an island. Just like their terp villages in the Frisian heartlands (Pye 2014). The merchant houses in the vicus area, i.e. the riverbank area where the jetties were located, were rectangular of shape, and about five to six meters wide and twelve to sixteen meters long. As said, a Frisian lay-out also reflected in the early days of the settlement Ribe in Denmark (read: To the end where it all began: Ribbon Ribe).
development of the jetties, harbour area of Dorestat
From 834 onward, Vikings raided Dorestat on a yearly basis. Like clockwork. This happened when the reputation of Dorestat was already in decline. The northern sea raiders missed the boat, so do not give too much credit. The reason why Dorestat lost its position also had to do with the fact that the river Rhine slowly silted up. A process initiated with the creation of the river Lek earlier (see further below). In the year 839, Holy Roman Emperor Lothair I gave part western Frisia, more or less current provinces Noord Holland, Zuid Holland and part of province Utrecht, including the central river area with emporium Dorestat, in fief to the Viking warlord Rorik. This was arguable the deathblow of Dorestat's already waning hegemony. In 855, Dorestat ceased minting coin (Schuuring 2014). Other scholars postulate the thesis that the Frankish kingdom purposefully dismantled Dorestat (Cooijmans 2015).
We cannot help wondering how such a yearly Viking raid would look like in practice in the case of Dorestat. First, rowing up slowly the bended rivers Stichtse Vecht and Kromme Rijn for sixty kilometers long, which already would have alarmed everyone. Then, at Dorestat, docking their longships somewhere at the endless jetties, and still having to walk a few hundred meters. All the people would have been gone in the fields by then, with all their gold and silver, one would think. Of course, the Vikings could take the products and goods in the storehouses for as much as their ships could carry. If indeed this was the practice, it sounds more like a kind of yearly tax collection, to us. A taxation with very high and unpredictable tariffs, mind you. A taxation that was perceived as a raid by the people and Frankish authorities. It would explain why despite the yearly 'raids', Dorestat stayed in business, and why no proof has been found of sacking and burning down the essentially wooden town. Everything quite the opposite of this famous school illustration below, which has been taught to millions of Dutch children.

Was the early-seventh century really the start of Dorestat?
According to Frankish chronicles, the Frisians and the Franks got entangled into a heavy conflict at the end of the seventh century. The price was Dorestat. The place of battle was described as fortress Duristate. Check our post The Battles of Redbad, unplugged to read more about this conflict. This fortress Duristate might have been the remnants of a Roman fortress near the present town of Rijswijk in province Gelderland, on the opposite, southern bank of the river Rhine from Dorestat's point of view.
We have checked the third-/fourth-century Roman world map, the seven-meters-long Tabula Peutingeriana, to see if the Romans already gave Dorestat any significance. Although the flevo Renus 'river Rhine' and the flevo Patabus 'river Meuse' are mapped, it only shows the fortresses Lugduno 'present Katwijk' and Foro Adriani, also known as Forum Hadriani or Municipium Aelium Cananefatium (MAC) at the present town of Voorburg. All place names in the left corner of the white square (see below). No Dorestat, alas. Or maybe it is fortress Levefano (see white arrow), as some scholars say it is. Check at this great site (Pars II) the Tabula and see if you can manage without Google Maps navigation.
lower Rhine and Meuse area – Tabula Peutingeriana
Around 50 BC, the Romans arrived at the lower river Rhine basin. After a period of in vain and/or very costly expeditions trying to control Germanica above the river Rhine along the North Sea coast (check our post Pagare il fio for more backgrounds on the Roman military efforts), the Romans settled with the river Rhine as the most northern frontier on the continent. In the first century, they started to construct the limes 'border' of Lower Germanica along the river Rhine, with fortress Lugdunum (also Lugdono, see map above) at the river mouth at the present town of Katwijk being the most western castellum 'fortress'. Lugdunum is popularly known as fort Brittenburg. The fortress at Rijswijk at the banks of the river Rhine near the fork with the river Lek, was in use between ca. 50 until the end of the third century. This fortress, maybe Levefano indeed, might be called the origin of the settlement Dorestat.
It was during the Roman Period the river Lek, a new branch of the river Rhine, emerged. Steadily, the river Lek turned into a full-fledged river, flowing to the area Hoek van Holland at the North Sea coast. With this process the river Lek creamed off water from the river Rhine proper, now called the river Kromme Rijn. The latter started to silt up slowly. This was an important, economically negative process, because via the river Rhine you could reach the river Stichtse Vecht more down stream. In turn, the river Stichtse Vecht flows into Lake IJssel (IJsselmeer), from where you could sail northbound to the Wadden Sea and North Sea, and even further north (read also our post Attingahem Bridge for more about the river Stichtse Vecht area). In the twelfth century, the river Rhine was dammed at Wijk bij Duurstede, and the mouth of the river Rhine at modern Katwijk at the North Sea silted up definitively.
Who were the early inhabitants of Dorestat?
This is an awful difficult question to answer. If we take the linguistic theory, it was a people speaking a Celtic language. The name Dorestat is comprised of the Celtic part dworest, meaning 'gate' or 'door' together with the 'inhabitant' suffix -atis. Thus, Dworest-atis means Door-People (Schrijver 2014). Which must be understood as the people who lived at the door, at the gateway. So, by the way, we are back at swinging the batwing doors of the (wet) Wild West. What are the odds! At least it shows those Celts had foresight and understood the potential of this area.
Another explanation of the suffix -stat might be related to stade or in Old Norwegian stað meaning a place where ships were pulled ashore. In northern Germany the town Stade on the banks of the river Elbe exists. Also, in the medieval settlement of Utrecht, the location near the river where the trade area was, was named Stathe (Van der Tuuk 2021).
When the Romans arrived in the central river area, the people (also) adopted the Latin language, possibly a variant comparable to Picardian. This developed into Old French. Later, the river-area population switched language yet again, but this time to a Germanic language, namely Central Dutch. Sparing you all the different stages, the result was that the name Dorestat developed into today's (Wijk bij) Duurstede. Interestingly, Late Latin was (also) spoken in this region, including the river area in province Gelderland, well into the early medieval period. It is also the region where the language Central Dutch developed.
Historically, in the Netherlands there is always much ado about the origins of the Batavians. A brave tribe, among others, responsible to lead a rebellion together with the Cananafates, the Chauci, and the Frisians against the Romans in the year 69, but that subsequently disappeared into oblivion. Archaeological research shows, that at the beginning of the era, influences of the northern cultures in the river area became stronger. Pottery of the Frisians (Frisii) and of the Chauci, who lived at the northwestern coastal zone of Germany and the Netherlands, dating from this period is found in the region of Batavia (viz. Betuwe). Research also indicates that large parts of the region Batavia depopulated when the Romans arrived. This might have offered an opportunity for the northern tribes to occupy these fertile lands. The historical episode of the two Frisian kings, Malorix and Verritus, who traveled in the year 58 to Rome to settle their dispute in appeal with Emperor Nero personally concerning the use of land along the limes, fits in this picture very well. Also, as said, the fact that the Batavians and the Frisians teamed up to fight against the Romans, makes sense in this context. Check our post It all began with piracy to read more about the Batavian uprising.
Germanic or Celtic? – Note that the Romans coined the term Germanic, which is a classification that says nothing about the Germanic identity of the tribes as we understand it today. Many of these tribes did not even speak Germanic, but a Celtic language as we have seen already. This was a wide-spread language in Europe at the beginning of the era. That also might hold true for the Frisians during the Roman era. They might also have spoken Celtic. The names Malorix and Verritus are even of Celtic origin. Read our post Celtic-Frisian heritage: There's no dealing with the Wheel of Fortune. And, in order to be complete, the fact people speak Celtic does not rule out the possibility they adopted the language from the Celts.
It is likely that with the rise of Dorestat as the commercial hub of northwestern Europe, people from everywhere settled in this town. Perhaps in settlements in the wider region too. Of course, Frisians settled in significant numbers, simply because they dominated the trade for most of the time. Frisians also settled in the current town of Vreeswijk, known in the ninth century as Fresionouuic 'Frisian wic', which makes clear that the central river region as such was not considered Frisian. There is no Vreeswijk in region Ostfriesland, nor in province Friesland. It furthermore illustrates that tribe identity did exist, both in the river area, and among the Frisians. However, parts of the central river area for long were under the sphere of influence of Frisia during the first centuries of the Middle Ages.
Under Frankish rule, from around 720, probably more migrants from the south and the German hinterland, settled in Dorestat too. Mintmaster Madelinus is one of those settlers. He first worked in the town of Maastricht more to the south, but moved his business to Dorestat halfway the seventh century. To, literally and figuratively, make more money. But we also know from historical sources of Danish merchants and Anglo-Saxons traveling to and living in Dorestat. You might say, your average metropolitan composition.
We cannot end a story about Dorestat without showing the most marvelous piece excavated at the site: the Fibula of Dorestad. It is dated between 775 and 800, and is of Frankish making.
Dorestad fibula
Note 1 – Near the crossing of Het Sant and Prins Hendrikweg road in Wijk bij Duurstede, you can find a sign giving information on Dorestat. Unfortunately, the sign starts describing the history from 800, during Frankish rule when, in fact, the rise of Dorestat started in the early-sixth century already.
Note 2 – Besides Fresionouuic current Vreeswijk, along the river Stichtse Vecht just north of the city of Utrecht in the village of Maarssen, a neighbourhood exists called Friezenbuurt, meaning 'Frisians hood'. Friezenbuurt is named after workmen from province Friesland of the Twijnstra Oliefabriek 'oil factory' of Ulbe Twijnstra, anno 1887 (Van Erkel & Samplonius 2018). Ulbe Twijnstra possessed a mill in the village of Akkrum, and in 1921 bought this other mill in Maarssen to make oils for soap, margarine and vegetable cooking oil.
Friezenbuurt is located near where during the Early Middle Ages the settlement of Suecsnon was located, what is today's Zuilen. A river that was part of the pagus 'district' Nifterlake. A former Frisian pagus and governed by Frisian elite until mid-tenth century. The river Stichtse Vecht was a very important waterway connecting Dorestat with the north. For more on the pagus Nifterlake and the river Stichtse Vecht, read our post Attingahem Bridge. The Frisia Coast Trail passes through all of these places: Maarssen, Friezenbuurt and Zuilen.
And while we are at it, there is not too far from Friezenbuurt, 30 kilometers as the crow flies, a hamlet named De Friezenwijk in province Gelderland. It is located along the river Linge. near the village of Heukelum The etymological explanation given is 'settlement or farmstead of Frisians'. At De Friezenwijk a chapel was built at the spot where a miracle had happened to a certain woman named Elisabeth. She was a promiscuous girl who came to repentance but still had a long and personal struggle with the devil (Herwaarden, van J. website). Heukelum, by the way, is composed of hukila 'mound' and heem 'homestead', thus 'elevated homestead' (Van Erkel & Samplonius 2018). In other words, a terp. Again, hiking the Frisia Coast Trail you will pass through it.
Note 3 – Besides Dorestat or Wijk bij Duurstede, the nearby region Rhenen more upstream the river Nederrijn 'Lower Rhine', might have been of (political and religious) importance for the early-medieval Frisian elite as well. See our post Don't believe everything they say about sweet Cunera for more.

PID, Pelvic Inflammatory Infection
What is Pelvic inflammatory disease?
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the ovary, fallopian tube, and/or uterus (oophoritis, salpingitis, and endometritis respectively). It is a common and serious complication of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) even if the STD is treated promptly.
More than one million women experience an episode of acute pelvic inflammatory disease each year in the US, and more than 100,000 women become infertile each year as a result. Women who use an IUD (a device placed in the uterus for birth control) have the highest rate of PID. Though less common, it can be a complication of a miscarriage, abortion, or childbirth.
Most cases are caused by sexually transmitted infections of chlamydia (the most commonly transmitted STD in women) or gonorrhea, but other bacteria normally found in the vagina and cervix may also be responsible. These organisms travel up the fallopian tubes causing inflammation and scarring.
Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease begin immediately after menstruation more often than at any other time during the menstrual cycle. This may indicate that menstrual blood flows backwards from the uterus into the fallopian tubes, carrying the infecting organisms with it. PID can have a sudden, rapid onset or can be a chronic infection. One-quarter of women with PID will have at least one repeat episode of the disease. With each episode, the risk of infertility increases.
Symptoms of Pelvic inflammatory disease
The most common symptoms are lower abdominal pain and a vaginal discharge. In most cases, these symptoms appear immediately after a menstrual period.
Other symptoms may include fever, nausea, a vague feeling of being sick (general malaise), backache, pain with intercourse, and irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting between periods. But PID, especially when caused by Chlamydia, may produce only minor symptoms or no symptoms at all.
Physical exam The cervix and uterus are usually tender. An enlarged, tender fallopian tube may be felt. An ovary may also be involved in the inflammation, in the case of a tubo-ovarian abscess.
Tests: Swabs from the vagina and cervix are cultured to identify the infecting bacteria. The organism might also be seen microscopically. A complete blood count (CBC) can indicate a high number of white blood cells in acute PID, but the white cell count may remain normal.
A urinalysis and urine culture might be done to rule out a urinary tract infection. A pregnancy test may be done to exclude the possibility of a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy. A blood test may also be done to detect syphilis and HIV the virus responsible for AIDS.
Other tests include an ultrasound and endometrial biopsy (a tissue sample taken from lining of uterus). A laparoscopy may be done to diagnose PID. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure where a small lighted viewing instrument is inserted through a small incision into the abdomen allowing direct visualization of pelvic organs.
How is PID treated?
Most cases of pelvic inflammatory disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics. At least two antibiotics are usually given because more than one organism is often responsible. About one-quarter of women with PID are hospitalized for intravenous antibiotic treatment. This includes women who are severely ill or pregnant. All sexual partners should be examined for sexually transmitted diseases and promptly treated if infected. If an IUD (intrauterine device) appears to be contributing to the infection, it may need to be removed.
Surgery may be indicated to drain an ovarian or pelvic abscess. Surgical removal or salpingo-oophorectomy may be indicated for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease that is unresponsive to antibiotic treatment.
Ilosone (Erythromycin), Adoxa (Doxycycline), Cleocin (Clindamycin), Sumycin (Tetracycline)
Avoid sexual intercourse until you are well. Rest in bed until any fever subsides. Sit and lie in different positions until you find one that is comfortable for you. Allow several weeks for recovery.
What might complicate it?
Complications include infertility, tubal pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, and chronic pelvic pain. Infertility occurs in approximately twenty percent of women who have had PID resulting from scarring and blockage of the fallopian tube. Many women with blocked fallopian tubes may never have had symptoms of PID because chlamydial infections can silently invade the fallopian tubes. A woman with pelvic inflammatory disease has a much higher risk of a tubal pregnancy. The fertilized egg cannot pass into the uterus through blocked and scarred fallopian tubes. Untreated, PID can result in chronic pelvic pain in about twenty percent of individuals. PID can also result in abscesses of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other sites in the pelvis.
A favorable outcome depends on prompt diagnosis and treatment. With chronic or recurring PID, each episode increases the chance of infertility, tubal pregnancy, and abscesses.
Other possibilities are appendicitis (acute or chronic), ectopic pregnancy, urinary tract infection, ovarian cyst, endometriosis, diverticulitis, or ulcerative colitis.

was planning a visit to BANI next month and would like to know the name means this are the places where most prostitutes and low life take. Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "A prostitute had once been forgiven. She passed by a dog panting. Migrants who escaped from illegal prisons in Bani Walid. If a girl refused to prostitute herself, the guards would lock her up in a room with five.
Maybe they will spend it on booze? Their salaries are so low that sometimes they do organise such actions to get some money. But to be honest - it's in Bani Prostitute rare for something like that to happen in DR.
If you are totally legal - you dont have to pay anything and you cant argue if you want for in Bani Prostitute 2 bucks. It is much more probable to be stopped by AMET road police if you for example drive in some city without helmet and that way be asked for some money. Which is usually also really low, like maybe pesos. Only two times during my over one year stay things like that happened to me. This was the first time, when I gave in Bani Prostitute guys pesos, and for the second time - I gave some police guys 50 pesos.
So 2,5 usd and 1 usd during one year - it's not that bad, right? And it's still nothing normal of course - but it was some kind of adventure and something to write and in Bani Prostitute later, as a good memories. Beach located in Bani is not impressive at all. What really gets on my nerves here is the network of one way streets everywhere in Bani Prostitute this city.
Because of that - it's hard to navigate, even on the motorbike here. Las Salinas near Bani, Dominican Republic. In Bani Prostitute 20 km from Bani there is village Las Salinas - located in the nice bay. They made National Park from it.
There was a wave of international horror and condemnation after the American media CNN published a video on November 14,showing a slave auction in Libya. Our Observer is a Guinean man who has now returned to Conakry. He describes his own hellish experience at the hands of traffickers in The Observer we spoke to for this article gave us a detailed, coherent, well-documented account of his in Bani Prostitute, and we were able to corroborate what he said with the accounts of other people along the same route.
We told them and they cried". My family immediately sent me money: They promised me that they would help me to get to Europe to study through a more legal route. I was very scared of getting kidnapped again. The next day, a driver in Bani Prostitute to do the next step of the route, to Agadez, in Niger. On the road, we passed lots of vehicles full of migrants going in the opposite direction, towards Libya. Some of them begged us for water, or they asked us why we were turning back, and when we told them they cried.
These friends also had wanted to go to Libya, but due to my warnings they had changed their minds and were going to go via Algeria. In Bani Prostitute go by and have a look for yourself.
You can in Bani Prostitute stay in Santo Domingo and take the mini-bus to Bani daily. Bani is a nice quite sleepy town on the coast.
One of the cleanest towns in the DR. I was put off by a few idiots who felt thet thet in Bani Prostitute to walk around with an open display of guns. Despite that the place is pretty civil. Originally Posted by little Joe.

With a strong reputation gained over nearly 3 decades of providing high quality and cost-effective dry rot treatment, the friendly, qualified team at Brick Tie Preservation are your local damp, timber and rot experts.
Piziza fungus is often mistaken for The TrueDry Rot Fungus Serpular lacrymans- not by us though!
Fungus is everywhere, as spores in the air we breathe and in soil: most plants depend on it to break down nutrients they need to flourish.
We've treated and successfully eradicated scores of infections by this invasive and tenacious rot from many properties in Leeds, Bradford, York and across Yorkshire. However, we've also lost count of the number of times we've been asked to eradicate dry rot, only to find on arrival that the decay in question wasn't dry rot at all!
Misdiagnosis is common where this decay is concerned, and without the correct diagnosis, you can't get the right treatment, so it's essential to get advice from a trained and qualified dry rot specialist like us.
Almost all decay in timber is caused by one of the more common wet rot species, which tend to be less fussy about their growing requirements; in effect, if wood is wet, more wet rots will attack the timber than dry rot.
However, dry rot's notoriety is well deserved, because when it does strike, the impact can be quite spectacular and the extensive fungal growth, with strands and sheets of fungus seeming to devour the wood, engenders respect and sometimes even wonder!
Unlike wet rot, its dry counterpart can spread away from the initial source of moisture, spreading by invasive growth and heavy spore distribution. As a result, secondary outbreaks, remote from the initial one are quite common – so they all need effective treatment to ensure it doesn't come back!
Our dry rot surveys ensure we treat ALL affected areas!
Treatment is quite straightforward provided you engage with a Property Care Association qualified technician (like ours) – but the survey is the first critical step.
The initial inspection must be 100% thorough, otherwise it is easy to underestimate the extent of infection and customers can find themselves with unexpected additional costs after the treatment process has started: this is what we at Brick-Tie Preservation want to avoid!
We have the qualifications (CSRT) and experience needed to properly investigate the extent of your dry rot problem and specify a tailor made solution for you, with accurate costing you can rely on. We've seen hundreds of outbreaks of dry rot around Yorkshire, and have left a stream of happy customers in our wake – so contact us on 0800 591 541 for a detailed and professional survey, and cost-effective and reliable treatment.
