About the pieces (‘single play’-mode):
II V I; it’s quarter to third
excerpt from Kevin Whitehead’s ‘New Dutch Swing’:
Here is how the Dutch talk about time. The hour 2:15 is simple enough, kwart over twee, quarter past two. Likewise, 2:45, kwart voor drie, quarter before three. But 2:30 is half drie – halfway to three – and from here the orientation toward quarter and half hours gets complicated: 2:37 is zeven over half drie: seven minutes past halfway to three, and 2:20 is tien voor half drie – ten minutes before halfway to three.
Elapsoidea Trapei (African garter snakes)
Mane (1999) described Elapsoidea trapei from extreme southeastern Senegal. The new species differs from sympatric E. semiannulata moebiusi in having 6 rather than 7 supralabials, the 2nd and 3rd (rather than 3rd and 4th) in contact with the eye, and a dark brown rather than light venter, as well as more subtly in other chracateritsics.This brings the total number of Elapsoidea species known from African to 10: E. boulengeri (southern parts of Africa), E. broadleyi (Somalia), E. chelazziorum (Somalia), E. guentheri (south-central Africa), E. laticincta (Central Africa), E. loveridgei (Central and East Africa), E. nigra (Tanzania), E. semiannulata (widespread south of Sahara), E. sunderwallii (southern Africa) and E. trapei (Senegal).

Texel’s Kebab
The Texel sheep originated on the isle of Texel, the largest of the Frisian Islands off the north coast of The Netherlands. The exact origin of the breed is unknown although it is thought to be a cross of multiple English breeds. It was slowly bred into a meat breed of outstanding carcass quality. It is now one of the most common meat breeds in The Netherlands making up seventy percent of the national flock.
