The Scoville scale is a measurement of pungency (spiciness or "heat") of chili peppers and other substances, recorded in Scoville heat units (SHU). It is based on the concentration of capsaicinoids. Capsaicin is the main thing measured.
The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. The Scoville organoleptic test is a subjective assessment derived from the capsaicinoid sensitivity by people experienced with eating hot chilis.
An alternative method, high-performance liquid chromatography, can be used to analytically quantify the capsaicinoid content as an indicator of pungency.
In the Scoville organoleptic test, an exact weight of dried pepper is dissolved in alcohol. This extracts the heat components, the capsaicinoids. They are then diluted in a solution of sugar water. Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsaicinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution. The heat level is based on this dilution, rated in multiples of 100 SHU.
"Capsicum" chili peppers are used to add pungency in food. The range of pepper heat reflected by a Scoville score is from 500 or less (sweet peppers) to over 2.6 million ("Pepper X") .

Alex G
Alexander Giannascoli (born February 3, 1993), better known by his stage names Alex G or, formerly, (Sandy) Alex G, is an American musician and singer-songwriter. He started his career releasing albums himself on Bandcamp and started getting fans with his label debut, "DSU" (2014), released on Orchid Tapes and a lot of people liked it. He later signed with Lucky Number, who rereleased his earlier releases, "Rules" and "Trick" (2012). In 2015, he joined Domino Recording Company and released his sixth studio album, "Beach Music". He followed it in 2017 with "Rocket", which even more people liked. Giannascoli's eighth studio album, "House of Sugar", was released in 2019, and his ninth, "God Save the Animals", in 2022.
Giannascoli was born in 1993 in Havertown, Pennsylvania. His father's family is from Abruzzo, a region in Southern Italy. At age 11, he learned how to play the guitar that his brother gave him and started recording music. While attending Haverford High School, Giannascoli made two albums that he shared with friends. He tested different styles while making collaborative music, which included his brother, singer/songwriter/producer David Allen Scoli, and himself called The Scoli Xtreme, the "goth techno" he made with his sister in their band MOTHER, as well as the projects involving his high school band The Skin Cells, described as "pop rock that accidentally ended up being punk". The Skin Cells band where most unreleased music from Alex was released (such as "Tie me down", "Nintendo 64", and more). In 2011, Giannascoli enrolled at Temple University, where he studied English in hopes of becoming a teacher, but eventually left to pursue a musical career.
After self-releasing a bunch of albums, EPs, and singles on Bandcamp from 2010 to 2012, Giannascoli's popularity spread through word of mouth, blogs, and testimonials by other musicians. "The Fader" called Giannascoli "the internet's secret best songwriter." This led to Orchid Tapes signing Giannascoli, as well as the release of his label debut "DSU" (2014), which critics raved about. Following the release of the album, Giannascoli went on tour in North America and Europe. In November, "DSU" was released by Lucky Number in Europe on all formats with two new bonus tracks. The label later also reissued his two preceding releases, 2012's "Rules" and "Trick".
In 2015, Giannascoli signed with Domino Recording Company and released that label's debut "Beach Music" on October 9. The following year, Giannascoli worked with Frank Ocean on his albums "Endless" and "Blonde", providing guitar and writing music for several songs.
Giannascoli's eighth studio album, "House of Sugar", was released on September 13, 2019. The album received positive reviews and placed 17th on Pitchfork's year-end best albums list. In June 2020, he dropped "(Sandy)" from his stage name, returning to going by Alex G.

Giannascoli's ninth studio album, "God Save the Animals" was released on September 23, 2022.
In January 2024, Giannascoli announced his signing with RCA Records and an upcoming tour supporting the band Foo Fighters.
Giannascoli's music is often said to be indie rock with a lo-fi aesthetic because he records all of his music by himself in his home. He is compared a lot to singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, who's an idol of his. Other comparisons include Built to Spill and The Martinis. "The Philadelphia Inquirer" praised him as "a particularly gifted melody writer" whose "fuzzy, sometimes distorted songs, which hark back to slightly askew 1990s bands such as Pavement, can't hide his skill as a pop craftsman and a constructor of elliptical narratives that call for repeated listening." He stated that his creative process is usually working alone in his room with his guitar and adding other instruments later. When asked about working in a professional recording studio, he replied "I feel like I'm eventually going to have to do that, but I just don't want to. Because I don't know how to work all that stuff, and I don't want anyone else to have control. I just want to follow my own ideas, and I'm uncomfortable doing it any other way." Despite being formerly hesitant to record his music in professional studios, Giannascoli's "God Save the Animals" was studio-recorded with help from Jacob Portrait during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Palm wine
Palm wine, is an alcoholic drink made from the sap of palm trees such as the palmyra, date palms, and coconut palms. It is common in various parts of Africa, the Caribbean, South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Micronesia.
Palm wine production by smallholders and individual farmers may help conservation. Palm trees may become a source of regular household income. This may be worth more than the value of timber sold.
The sap is extracted and collected by a tapper. The sap is usually collected from the cut flower of the palm tree. A container is fastened to the flower stump to collect the sap. The white liquid that initially collects tends to be very sweet and non-alcoholic before it is fermented. Another method is the felling of the entire tree. Where this is practised, a fire is sometimes lit at the cut end to help the collection of sap.
Palm sap begins fermenting immediately after collection, due to natural yeasts in the air (often helped by yeast left in the collecting container). Within two hours, fermentation yields an aromatic wine of up to 4% alcohol content, mildly intoxicating and sweet. The wine may be allowed to ferment longer, up to a day, for a stronger, more sour, and acidic taste, which some people prefer. Longer fermentation produces vinegar instead of stronger wine.
Palm wine may be distilled to create a stronger drink, which goes by different names depending on the region (e.g., "arrack", "palm feni (liquor)", "", "village gin", "charayam", and "country whiskey").

Electric spark
An Electric spark is a sudden burst of electricity that takes place when a very strong electric field makes a path through something that usually doesn't conduct electricity, like air or gases. This can happen when there's a buildup of electric charge in one place and it suddenly discharges. Michael Faraday, a famous scientist, was one of the first to study how electric sparks form.
When the electric field becomes strong enough, it overcomes the normal resistance of the material and creates a channel through which the electricity can flow. This channel becomes ionized, which means the atoms in the material lose or gain electrons, making it able to conduct electricity.
The strength of the electric field needed to create a spark depends on the material involved. For air, which is commonly where electric spark takes place, the breakdown strength is about 30,000 volts per centimeter at sea level. In other words, when the electric field reaches this level, it's strong enough to make a spark jump through the air.
Electric sparks are often seen in situations like lightning during storms or when static electricity builds up and discharges, such as when you touch a metal object after shuffling your feet on a carpet. They can also happen in machinery, electronics, and in scientific experiments.
These sparks can be dangerous because they can cause fires or explosions if they happen near flammable materials or in environments with gases that can ignite. However, they are also useful in many applications, such as in spark plugs for igniting fuel in engines, in welding, and in certain types of sensors and detectors.
