Nukra Stallion

The Hirzai or Nukra horse is a rare breed of riding horse originating from Pakistan. These horses are of Arab origin, during the Umayyad Caliphate Dynasty; and have ample resemblance to Balochis. Home tract lies in Balochistan province. Their size is intermediate between those of a horse and a pony. Thoroughbred stallions provided by the Balochistan Government at important centres such as Quetta and Sibi are instrumental in large scale crossbreeding with native mares. The objective is to improve the native stock, however, this policy has led to the deterioration of native breeds purity. Good specimens of Balochi and Hirzai breeds are available at Sibi and Nasirabad Horse shows. Certain measures are currently being taken by the Pakistani state to protect and propagate this rare horse breed. They are a light riding horse developed by the Department of Agriculture in Pakistan. Offspring of the original two were then crossed with lighter desert breeds.

Currently measures are being taken by the Pakistan government to protect and further this rare horse breed. The majority of the animals that exist today are kept at the royal stables of Khan of Kalat.

Hyde Park, Leeds

Hyde Park is a centre city area for homes of north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, placed between the University of Leeds and Headingley.

It sits in the Headingley and Hyde Park voting area of Leeds City Council, though where the border between Headingley and Hyde Park isn't clear; Victoria Road is usually thought to be its northern limit. Unlike the nearby areas of Burley, Headingley and Woodhouse, Hyde Park was not a village in the past so its borders are unknown. 

The area is in the centre of the city's student community, being next to Headingley, another big student community. There are also many families, single people and a sizable South Asian community.

Before the creation of red brick terraced housing in the end of the Victorian era, the area was where the Leeds Royal Park enjoyment area, quarries, and fields in the estate of the Earl of Cardigan. The Hyde Park name would later include the new places where people live from Hyde Park Corner on the A660, with that area previously being known as Wrangthorn.

Apple Daily

Apple Daily () was a Traditional Chinese tabloid-style newspaper in Hong Kong in publication from 1995 to 2021. It was founded in 1995 by Jimmy Lai. It was once one of the best-selling Chinese language newspapers in Hong Kong. 

On 24 June 2021, the newspaper was forced to shutdown for violating a national security law. 

In June last year, Beijing implemented a sweeping new security law - despite much criticism and protest. The law gives Beijing powers to shape life in Hong Kong it has never had before. Critics say it effectively curtails protest and freedom of speech, though China has said it will return stability. Just months after the law was implemented, Lai and a handful of other media figures and activists were arrested and the Apple Daily officers were raided. Police also detained its chief editor and four other executives. The freezing of company accounts meant the paper no longer had money to pay its staff and run daily operations.

Marwari horse

The Marwari or Malani is a rare breed of horse from the Marwar (or Jodhpur) region of Rajasthan, in north-west India.

Imperial history 
The period of British colonial rule hastened the Marwari's fall from dominance, as did the eventual independence of India. The British preferred other breeds, and tried to eliminate the Marwari, along with the Kathiawari. Britons living in India instead preferred thoroughbreds and polo ponies, and reduced the reputation of the Marwari to the point where even the inward-turning ears of the breed were mocked as the "mark of a native horse".

Uses 
The Marwari horse is a riding horse; it may also be used for shows, horse safaris, sport, ceremonial & religious purposes, and during earlier days in war. Within the Marwari horse breed was a strain known as the Natchni, believed by local people to be "born to dance". Decorated in silver, jewels, and bells, these horses were trained to perform complex prancing and leaping movements at many ceremonies, including weddings. Although the Natchni strain is extinct today, horses trained in those skills are still in demand in rural India.

Indian Pariah dog

The Indian Pariah Dog, also known as the Indian Native Dog or South Asian Pye dog and Desi Dog is a landrace of dog native to the Indian subcontinent.

Names 

The namesake of this breed was given during the British Raj in India after the Pariah tribe of the Madras Presidency. From the Anglo-Indian word pye or paë and Hindi pāhī meaning 'outsider', the Indian pariah dog is sometimes referred to as the pye-dog (also spelt pie or pi) and the Indian native dog. It is popularly known as Desi Kutta or Desi Dog (which derives from the Urdu word desi, meaning native), as well as the Indi-dog or In-dog (in various spellings). It was referred to in the works of Rudyard Kipling as the "yellow pariah dog".

History 

The pariah dog of India is an ancient autochthonous landrace that is found all over India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and even beyond South Asia. A pariah-like dog skull was discovered in the ancient Indian site of Mohenjo-daro and prehistoric rock art depicting a dog of similar type has been found in the Bhimbetka rock shelters. It was featured on National Geographic Channel's film, Search for the First Dog along with the other ancient types such as the Canaan Dog of Israel and the Australian dingo.

Indian Pariah dogs make for loving family pets and are great with kids and adults. They are high on energy and complement kids with an active lifestyle. Indian pariah dogs are one of the oldest dog breeds in existence today.
Archaeological findings indicate that this dog was in existence some 4500 years ago. Excavations in the Mohenjo-Daro site found in the Sindh region of Pakistan (Indus Valley civilisation) revealed an Indian Pariah dog skull dating to 2500 BCE. Also, there are various cave paintings across the Indian subcontinent that hints at pariah dogs to be one of the oldest dog breeds in the world.

Pakola

Pakola, derived from Pakistan-Cola, is a line of flavoured carbonated soft drinks from Pakistan. Since the company's founding, many beverages have been introduced in the local as well as the international market, but none have overtaken the original Pakola drink.

Varieties 
Several of the variants that have been introduced by Pakola:

Pakola Ice Cream Soda (1950)
Pakola Orange (1985)
Pakola Raspberry (1985)
Pakola Lychee (1991)
Pakola Fresh Lime (2006)
Pakola Water (2015)
Pakola Pomegranate (2016)

Production 
Pakola is currently produced by Mehran Bottlers.

Distribution 
Pakola is now available in the Americas, Africa, Australasia, Canada, Middle East, and the United Kingdom. It is the only carbonated beverage manufactured in Pakistan that is exported globally.

Glass bottles 
Due to the introduction of the capacity tax in 2013, Pakola discontinued the production and distribution of all glass-bottled products. The tax was levied on the overall production and distribution of the machinery instead of output, which was detrimental for companies with lower productions or smaller markets. After the collapse of this system, Mehran Bottlers quickly set up their PET lines to grasp the market once again.

Iznasen (Berber tribe)

Iznasen or At Iznasen or Beni Iznasen (in Tamazight : ⴰⵜ ⵣⵏⴰⵙⵙⵏ, in Arabic : يزناسن, singular : Aznas) is the name of a major set of Berber tribes inhabiting northeast Morocco, in the provinces of Berkane (Berkane, Ahfir, Tafoughalt...) and Oujda (Beni Drar, Ain Sfa...)    

Today it is a group of predominantly Arabic-speaking people living in eastern Morocco, mainly in : Oujda, Berkane, Aklim, Fezouane, Tafoughalt, Saidia, Ahfir, Bni drar, El-Aioun and Taourirt. Today the tribe is more Arabic-speaking.

History 
The first mention of the Iznasen in this area is from 11th century sources when they speak of the conquest of Oujda by the Almoravids. The Almoravids initially hesitated to attack Oujda, because the Iznasen would be too strong an obstacle there. The tribe belonged to the Zenata tribes, where the name Iznasen also comes from, just like the masters and founders of Oujda, the Maghrawids.
They played an important role under the Merinids because they were entrusted with the governorship of large parts of eastern Morocco. Later, in 1908, they were the first Moroccan people to successfully revolt against the French colonizer. Although the French were initially forced to leave the area, they were able to pacify the tribes with great force in January 1909.

Etymology 
Iznasen in the Berber Zenati language is the plural of “Aznas” which is composed of “Azn” meaning “Send” and “As” meaning “The Day”. Iznasen literally means "Those who send (during) the Day".

Layout 
The Iznasen tribe consists of four main groups:

 Beni Khaled or At Khaled
 Oulad el Ghazi
 Ahl Taghejirt
 Beni Drar
 Beni Menqouch or At Menqouch
 Labsara
 Beni Khellouf
 Beni Mimoun
 Beni 'Atiq or At 'Atiq
 Tghasrout
 Ouled 'Ali ben Yassin
 Beni Amiyer
 Beni Hammad
 Tazaghine
 Beni Moussi La'tach
 Beni Moussi Rwa
 Ouled Mimoun
 Beni Bouya'la
 Beni Ourimech or At Ourimech
 Ouled Bou 'Abdoussayed
 Ouled 'Ali Chbab
 Ouled Abbou
 Ahl Tagma
 Beni Nouga
 Beni Mahiou

Language 
The east of Morocco, like many other areas in Morocco, is a very varied area in terms of language. Beni Iznasen contains both Arabic-speaking and Berber-speaking political groups. Bilingualism sometimes occurs, especially in the older generations. The younger generations usually only speak Arabic.

Arabic 
The Arabic dialect of eastern Morocco is a so-called Hilali dialect, which shows similarities with the dialects of, for example, Marrakech and Casablanca, in contrast to the urban (pre-Hilali) dialects of, for example, Fes and the north of Morocco. Furthermore, this Arabic dialect shows strong similarities with the dialect of western Algeria (Tlemcen), which borders the Beni Iznasen area.

Berber 
Those who speak the most the Iznasen Berber are the older generations of Iznasen people. The Berber dialect of eastern Morocco shows similarities with East Riffian and the Berber of Beni Snous tribe near Tlemcen in Algeria.

Since the officialization of the Berber language in Morocco in 2011, a reberberization process is underway because the language is again taught to new generations in Moroccan schools.
