Legend says there are three ways for a fox to gain wisdom. First, it might accidentally swallow valuable treasures. Second, it could find a peaceful place to grow spiritually. Third, it could learn from a Taoist monk or master to develop special abilities.
The stories of foxes with many tails come from ancient China. A book called "Xuanzhongji" from the Jin dynasty tells that when a fox turns fifty, it can change into a woman. At one hundred years old, it can become very wise and know things happening far away. People might get confused by its kindness and charm. When it reaches one thousand years old, it becomes a Sky Fox.
There are three ways for a fox to become wise. First, it might accidentally swallow valuable treasures. Second, it could find a peaceful place to grow spiritually. Third, it could learn from a Taoist monk or master.
Every one hundred years, a big event happens. If a fox can handle it well, it grows a new tail. Only a few foxes reach the stage of having nine tails. When a fox is one thousand years old, it becomes a Thousand-Year Heavenly Fox and gets recognized by the Heavenly Court.
The Youyang Zazu talked about the Sky foxes being connected to the divine; he says that these foxes have nine tails and are golden in color. They work in the Palace of the Sun and Moon. They have their own special talisman and a ritual. They can go beyond yin and yang.
In some places like Fushimi Inari-taisha and Ojika, Nagasaki, foxes are worshipped as divine messengers. They are believed to have special powers, like divination.

Piring dance
The dance shows how well the dancers can balance and move the ceramic plates without dropping or breaking them. Sometimes, candles are put on the plates, this is known as the "Tari lilin" or Candle dance version. Dancers hold the plates firmly at the bottom and swing them fast to keep them from falling.
While dancing, the performers tap their plates with a ring on their fingers, making rhythmic sounds. It's often performed as a way to welcome guests and honor elders at traditional events. Along with other traditional dances like "randai" and "saman", the Piring dance is also popular at festivals outside Indonesia, helping to share Indonesian culture and attract tourists.
Traditionally, this dance comes from Solok, West Sumatra in Indonesia. According to the old stories, the Piring dance was part of ceremonies celebrating fertility. It's also a traditional art with lots of beauty and deep cultural meaning. People used to perform this dance to thank the gods after a good harvest. During this ritual, they carry offerings like food on plates and move around with lively steps.
After Islam came to the Minangkabau region, the Piring dance stopped being used for thanking gods. Instead, it became a form of entertainment at public events.
In the Piring dance, dancers usually hold two plates in their hands. They move the plates quickly, making a sound with rings on their fingers touching the plates. At the end of the dance, they often break the plates on the floor and dance on them. Usually, there are an odd number of dancers, ranging from three to seven.
Dancers wear bright clothes, mostly in red and yellow, and headgear. The dance is accompanied by music from talempong and saluang instruments. The music starts slowly and then speeds up gradually.
There are different musical instruments used in Minangkabau culture and during the Piring dance:
These musical elements create an interesting and enjoyable atmosphere for listeners.
Dabke dance has a rich history that dates back centuries in the Levantine region of the Middle East, especially in countries such as Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. It started as a traditional folk dance among communities living in these mountainous areas. Palestinians who study and document traditional ways of celebrations like Abdul-Latif Barghouthi and Awwad Sa'ud al-'Awwad believe that the jumps in dabke dance might have started long ago in ancient Canaanite rituals. These rituals were about helping the crops to grow, scaring away the bad spirits, and keeping the plants safe.
The dance is characterized by rhythmic stomping of the feet, organised movements, and energetic footwork. It features both the circle dance and line dancing. Dabke is usually performed along with traditional music, including drums, flutes, and other instruments. The movements of the line are led by a "laweeh", a dancer who leads and starts the changes in line formation, and who is followed by a chorus.
Dabke can be performed indoors or outdoors, on a stage or just on the ground. The dance has different steps called belbel, inzel, shemmel, etc. People do a mix of these steps, along with some jumps and turns, to complete the dance.
Different types of dabke can be found across different regions and communities. In Lebanon, "Dalouna" is the most common type of dabke. It has six beats and is usually accompanied by a minjeira (flute) or mizmar (copper flute) and darbuka (goblet drum). Jordanian dabke often features slower, more calculated movements, reflecting the country's Bedouin heritage.
Despite these variations, dabke remains a cultural symbol and popular practice that unites people who have grown up in the Levant.
On 7 August 2011, a group in the Lebanese village of Dhour El Choueir set a new world record. Organized by the Dhour El Choueir Summer Festival, a human chain of 5,050 was made and currently holds the world record in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Saman dance
The Saman dance, also known as the Dance of a thousand hands, is a traditional dance of the Gayo people from Aceh province in Indonesia. People often perform it during special festivals or events like Mawlid, the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. The dance is a way to share Islamic teachings and do "Dawah" (Islamic preaching).
The dance is known for its fast rhythm and how well the dancers move together. In Saman, dancers clap their hands and chests. These movements are important in Saman and make it famous and easy for people to learn. Saman is the most popular dance form in Indonesia.
In 2011, UNESCO recognized Saman as an important part of Aceh's culture and declared it an Intangible cultural heritage. The dance also won an award from the ASEAN Tourism Association for its role in preserving cultural heritage.
The word "Saman" comes from Sheikh Saman, a famous Islamic teacher from Gayo in Aceh. He learned about old Malay practices like "Ratib"; a form of Sufi chanting, and made a dance, now called the Saman dance, to share Islam's teachings in Gayo, Aceh, Indonesia. The Saman Dance uses Islamic poems in the Gayo language.
The Saman dance is done by a group of people without using musical instruments. It used to be only men who did this dance, but now women do it too. They sing songs and move in interesting ways while they dance. A short song, followed by a short dance, can last for about 15 to 20 minutes.
During a typical Saman dance, the dancers line up on stage and sit in a special way. Then, a singer starts singing, often talking about Gayo and Islamic culture. The dancers move their hands in time with the music. The moves in a Saman dance are led by a leader called "Sheikh". As the dance goes on, they start moving their arms, heads, and bodies too. The speed gets faster, and sometimes they change how they're sitting. The important thing is that every dancer moves together, making a smooth, continuous flow of movement. What's interesting is that the original Saman dance from "Gayo Lues" doesn't use any musical instruments.
While they dance, everyone says Islamic poetry together. The dancers are usually young men wearing traditional Gayonese clothes. Sometimes, the dance is like a contest between two groups, with each group trying to do the same moves, dances, and songs as the other group.

Bestune
Bestune is a Chinese manufacturer of passenger cars and SUVs based in Changchun, operating since 2018. It belongs to the Chinese concern FAW Group.
In 2006, the Chinese automotive concern FAW Group created a new model line FAW Besturn, targeting upper-middle-class customers. The first model to join the sub-brand was the mid-size limousine Besturn B70, which gained great popularity among customers in the Chinese market.
The market success of the first model from the Besturn model line encouraged FAW to expand its offer with further models, including both sedans positioned below B70, as well as above his, as well as the first SUV in the form of the X80 model presented in 2013. The next and last premiere in the FAW Besturn model line was the small crossover X40, which hit the market in 2017. Despite the expansion of the range, the popularity of the Besturn series models did not meet the expected goals of the FAW Group concern and began to decline.
At the end of 2018, a decision was made to liquidate the Besturn model line under the FAW brand, creating a completely new brand Bestune. The manufacturer gave it its own logo, as well as a new stylistic language and a different naming order. The first model of the Bestune brand was presented in the fall of 2018 SUV T77 developed in partnership with the electronics giant Xiaomi, and in the following years, the offer was expanded to include further SUVs under the name T33, T55 and T99.
At the end of 2022, Bestune rebranded, presenting a new company logo and a refreshed stylistic language of its models. The first vehicles covered by the new tactics were the modernized T77 and T99 SUVs. The third model from the revised range is a new design and the first premiere of 2023, a large minivan M9 developed together with the sister brand Hongqi. After the pre-production presentation of a family of personalized prototypes in April 2023, the market debut of the production Bestune Pony took place in August of the same year. The electric microcar was created as a response to, among others, Wuling Hongguang Mini EV.
Below are tables showing sales of Bestune models from the last couple of years.

Nowadays, Gandrung is danced at social events or for tourists. During the dance, traditional music is played, similar to the gamelan (Orchestra), with instruments like violins, gendangs, bonang, gongs, and xylophones. A singer usually sings with the music.
"Gandrung" comes from the Javanese word for "love". It is believed the dance began as a way to show love for the rice goddess "Dewi Sri" and as a fertility dance. But now, especially among Muslim Javanese and Sasak, it is more of a social and cultural dance. The dance is now about a girl searching for love, and is no longer for the rice goddess.
Gandrung is often danced all night from around 9 p.m. until just before sunrise. Sometimes, it's performed for tourists in Bali or Grajagan Bay in Banyuwangi. People also dance it at special events like weddings or circumcisions.
The main dancer, called the gandrung, is usually a young unmarried girl or sometimes a boy dressed as a girl. They wear traditional clothes with a fan, shawl, and fancy headgear. Sometimes, there's more than one gandrung dancer.
At the start, the dancers are on the side of the stage with the music group. When the music begins, they dance to the center. If a dancer sees someone in the audience they want to dance with, they throw their shawl to them, inviting them onstage. Then, they dance together. After dancing, the audience member often gives a small amount of money.
Gandrung is also a way for boys and girls in central and eastern Lombok to show affection. They dance it outside in a circle. Similar dances are seen in other parts of Indonesia like ronggeng, tayuban, jaipongan, and joged.
Gandrung is danced to music played by a traditional group. This group usually has violins, drums, gongs, and xylophones. A singer sings during the dance. Also, every performance needs a "panjak", also known as a pengudang or encourager. Their job is to cheer on the dancers and add some fun to the show. Sometimes, the kluncing player takes on this role.
Different places have their own bands for the dance, like in Banyuwangi, Bali, and Lombok. The music might vary a bit depending on where it's played. People say the music is lively and natural. Many anthropologists have recorded the Gandrung music.

Polypedates braueri
The white-lipped tree frog, Java tree frog, upland tree frog, or Taiwan whipping frog ("Polypedates braueri") is a frog. It lives in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and India. Human beings brought them to Guam by accident. People have seen them between 0 and 2200 meters above sea level.
This frog can live in forests, in fruit tree farms, and in bamboo. The female frog makes a nest out of foam on a plant over a pool and lays 400-500 eggs at a time. These frogs can lay eggs over many types of water, but they like shallow water with many plants the most.
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it can live in places that humans have changed. The frogs that live in Taiwan may be threatened by "Polypedates megacephalus", which humans brought to Taiwan.

Duck and Cover (movie)
Duck and Cover is a United States civil defense movie for children from 1951. Like civil defense training movies for adults, this movie was prepared for children and was widely shown to United States school children in the 1950s. It teaches students what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion. The movie shows an animated tortoise named Bert the Turtle and schoolchildren who show how to protect oneself from a nuclear explosion by using the duck and cover position.
At the time, there was a Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, and their relations were bad. This fear, mistrust and perceived threat between the two countries, led to an arms race with more modern weapons, and especially to a nuclear arms race with nuclear weapons, which they often tested. This led to a fear of World War III, which could be a nuclear war. The United States was also fighting the Soviet Union's allies North Korea and China in the Korean War. The Cold War also led to the Second Red Scare in the United States.
The movie was funded by the United States Federal Civil Defense Administration, was filmed in 1951 and was released in January 1952. The movie was written by Raymond J. Mauer, directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions, narrated by actor Robert Middleton and made with the help of schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York.
The movie is in the public domain and is widely available on the Internet, on websites such as YouTube. The movie is also available on DVD.
In 2004, the movie was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Yowlah
In the past, men used real weapons which had bullets but today they use the light weight weapons similar to Kalashnikov rifles, and also without bullets. Children mostly use sticks instead of weapons as they are easier to use. Mohammed Al-Yateen, who led the "Dubai Military Association band" explains that,""performing the Yowlah was tougher in the past, because in those times, the rifles were heavier compared to today. It's an art that showcases a man's strength, as not everyone can master the skill required to perform the Yowlah.""
Balancing the weapon with skillful hand movements is also very important for this folk dance.
The Yawil, who leads the dance, uses a weapon or sometimes a wooden piece shaped like a weapon, in the dance. The dance is started by walking slowly with the weapon, then quickly rotating the weapon in a circle, then throwing the weapon into the air at a medium distance, and the yawil then receives the weapon while sitting on one knee.
In the old days, men used to sing "challah" without any drums or rhythms. But now, rhythms have become an important part of this art. In the old days, men would stand in rows and sing verses repeatedly, making the place echo with their voices. The first row would sing a verse to the tune of "challah war," and then the second row would reply with another verse. This would continue, making the sound of the singing louder and louder.
In November 2014, "yowlah" (with the name of Al-Ayyala) was recorded on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage Items of Humanity.
On 26 November 2010, Guiness Book of World Records recorded the largest Yowlah dance in Fujairah where 285 participants from three different tribes performed at a final event of the traditional sword competition for the Crown Prince of Fujairah.
