Blue Clear Sky (song)

"Blue Clear Sky" is a song written by Bob DiPiero, John Jarrard and Mark D. Sanders, and recorded by American country music singer George Strait. It was released in March 1996 as the first single and title track from Strait's album of the same name. "Blue Clear Sky" was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Emerald Studios. The song reached Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
Strait told Billboard that he loved the song when he first heard it, but he was also concerned. "I thought that 'Blue Clear Sky' didn't sound right to me, it should have been 'Clear Blue Sky.' Tony and I talked about it, and we came so close to messing it up. We finally called Bob DiPiero [one of the song's writers], and he said he got the line from Forrest Gump. Bob DiPiero writes in the GAC (Great American Country) featured article, Bob DiPiero Reveals The Story Behind "Blue Clear Sky" about the idea of the song. Bob says, "I went to see the movie "Forrest Gump." About halfway through the movie, Forest has a dialogue where he is talking about his girlfriend, Jenny. The dialogue went something like this...
"Jenny was gone, then all of a sudden, out of the blue clear sky, she was back."
Well, of course it's backwards. The real term is "out of the clear blue sky," but it grabbed my attention. The next day I was in a songwriting session with John Jarrard and Mark D. Sanders. I told them about this backwards idea and we wrote "Blue Clear Sky" about how love seems unfindable and then out of the blue, you find it."
Country music singer Dierks Bentley covered the song from the television special George Strait: ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying "that readily identifiable, likeable, warm Texas voice totally sells this sweet song about the joys of finding love." She discusses the "catchy, melodic introduction to the steel guitar weaving throughout this lively uptempo number." Her review was well received despite Erv Woolsey's (Erv Woolsey Talent Agency) statement, "He's [George Strait] becoming an event, and all he does is stand up there and sing", which may suggest that Strait could be seen as inactive up on stage.
"Blue Clear Sky" debuted at number 41 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of April 6, 1996.
F.lux

f.lux (pronounced "flux") is a cross-platform computer program that adjusts a display's color temperature according to location and time of day, offering functional respite for the eyes. The program is designed to reduce eye strain during night-time use, helping to reduce disruption of sleep patterns.
On installation, the user can choose a location based on geographic coordinates, a ZIP code, or the name of a location. The program then automatically calibrates the device display's color temperature to account for time of day, based on sunrise and sunset at the chosen location. At sunset, it will gradually change the color temperature to a warmer color and restore the original color at sunrise.
f.lux offers a variety of color profiles and pre-defined temperature values, modifying program behaviour for specific programs or activities; including a mode for film watching, decreasing red tinge (for 2.5 hours), and a darkroom mode that does not affect night-adapted vision. Times can be inverted on f.lux for PC to provide warm lighting during the daytime (for people who work at night). The program can control Philips Hue LED lighting, so that the color temperature of house lights follows f.lux's settings.
The program is available for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux (except for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). It is also available for Apple iOS devices, although it requires the device to be jailbroken. Apple has not allowed the application in its App Store due to its use of restricted developer tools. The developer briefly hosted an Xcode project on GitHub, allowing iOS 9 users to sideload the application onto their devices, but retracted it at the request of Apple. Following Apple's announcement of a similar function, called Night Shift, in iOS 9.3, the developer called upon Apple to provide developer tools and to allow their application into the App Store. A preview version for Google's Android system is available.
Reducing exposure to bright (1000 lux) blue lights at night time was linked to increased melatonin secretion in a 1996 study but a 2018 study showed that changing the spectral composition of self-luminous displays without changing their brightness settings may be insufficient for preventing impacts on melatonin suppression.
f.lux proponents hypothesize that altering the color temperature of a display to reduce the prominence of white–blue light at night will improve the effectiveness of sleep. Although the developer provides a list of relevant research on their website, the program itself has not been scientifically tested to determine its efficacy, and the equivalent Apple program, Night Shift, was shown to have no effect on sleep outcomes (sleep latency, duration, efficiency and wake after sleep onset) in a 2021 study on 167 college undergraduates. f.lux has been widely and positively reviewed by technology journalists, bloggers, and users.
Ministry of the Interior and Public Security (Chile)

The Ministry of the Interior (Spanish: Ministerio del Interior) is the cabinet-level office responsible for home affairs in Chile. It is tasked with "maintaining public order, security and social peace" within the country. The ministry is also responsible for planning, directing, coordinating, executing, controlling, and informing the domestic policies formulated by the President of Chile. As the authority in charge of local government, the minister supervises all non-elected regional authorities.
Álvaro Elizalde has served as Minister of the Interior and Public Security since March 4, 2025. His Undersecretary of the Interior is Luis Cordero Vega, the Undersecretary of Regional Development is Francisca Perales Flores, and the Undersecretary of Crime Prevention is Carolina Leitao.
In the absence of the president of Chile (due to travel, death, or other impediment), the Minister of the Interior assumes the role of 'vice president.' However, this is not a true vice-presidential position but rather a designated acting president role, as the post of Vice President of Chile has not existed since 1833.
During the first days of the independence movements, the senior "secretary" of the respective Junta functioned as the Secretary of Government. The office was officially established on October 27, 1812, when it was one of the two secretariats created by the Constitutional Norms approved on that date. It was initially named the Secretariat of the Interior. It was abolished in 1814 by the Spanish authorities when, after the Battle of Rancagua, they reasserted royal power.
In 1818, after independence, the secretariat was re-established, but this time as the Ministry of Government (1817–18), later renamed the Ministry of the Interior and Foreign Affairs (1829–71). During this period, its functions typically encompassed the future Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was separated as an independent government administration in 1871. This ministry has undergone several reorganizations throughout its long history, reflected in its various names:
The role of chief of government was unofficially assumed by the Minister of the Interior and Public Security (1891–1925).
List of coalfields

A coalfield is an area of certain uniform characteristics where coal is mined. The criteria for determining the approximate boundary of a coalfield are geographical and cultural, in addition to geological. A coalfield often groups the seams of coal, railroad companies, cultural groups, and watersheds and other geographical considerations. At one time the coalfield designation was an important category in business and industrial discussions. The terminology declined into unimportance as the 20th century progressed, and was probably only referred to by a few small railroads and history buffs by the 1980s. Renewed interest in industrial heritage and coal mining history has brought the old names of the coalfields before a larger audience.
Colombia has the largest coal reserves in Latin America and is a major exporter.
List of bus rapid transit systems

List of suburban and commuter rail systems

This is an alphabetical listing of cities and countries that have commuter or suburban railways that are currently operational and in service. Commuter and suburban rail systems are train services that connect city centres with outer suburbs or nearby cities, with most passengers traveling for work or school. Unlike metros or light rail these systems usually operate on main line tracks unsegregated from other rail traffic. They differ from regional rail in that they usually have a hub-and-spoke paradigm and are focused on moving large number of passengers to a central business district.

निहाली भाषा सुरुवातीला ऐकण्यास थोडी क्लिष्ट, किचकट वाटत असली तरी ती लवकर आत्मसात होऊ शकते. निहाली भाषा केवळ बोली स्वरूपात आहे. तिची स्वतंत्र लिपी नाही. बुलडाणा जिल्ह्यातील जळगाव जामोद तालुक्यातील जामोद, चालठाणा, सोनबर्डी, कुॅंवरदेव, उमापूर, रायपूर तसेच संग्रामपूर तालुक्यातील शेंबा, चिचारी, वसाडी या आदिवासीबहुल गावांमध्ये पाचशेच्या जवळपास निहाल कुटुंबीयांची वस्ती आहे. त्यांची लोकसंख्या तीन हजारांच्या घरात आहे. त्यापैकी काही जणांवर कोरकू भाषेचा परिणाम होऊन त्यांच्या दैनंदिन जीवनात 'निहाली'भाषेऐवजी 'कोरकू' भाषेने स्थान मिळविले आहे. परिणामी निहाली भाषा अस्तंगताकडे वाटचाल करीत आहे. भारताच्या केंद्रीय गृहमंत्रालयाने नुकत्याच जारी केलेल्या अहवालात देशातील ४२ भाषा-बोलीभाषा अस्तंगत होण्याच्या मार्गावर असल्याचे सांगितले आहे. या अहवालात 'निहाली' भाषेचाही समावेश आहे.
निहाल हे जंगलामध्ये रहात असल्याचा उल्लेख मोगल व मराठे काळात आहे. इंग्रजांनी त्यांना गुन्हेगार घोषित केले होते.यांची जीवनपद्धती ही हिंदू आहे. खेडा मुठवा, हनुमान व महादेव या देवतांची ते पूजा करतात.
निहाल ही कोरकुंची उपजमात आहे.ते स्वतःला कोलटा असे म्हणतात.
या भाषेत ६ स्वर व २७ व्यंजने आहेत.

Boondi

Boondi is an Indian snack made from fried chickpea flour. It is either eaten as a savory snack or sweetened as a dessert.
In Sindh and Rajasthan, the dish is called nukti (Sindhi: نڪتي, Dhatki: نڪتي | नुक्ती). In Nepali & Bhojpuri Region, it is referred to as buniya (बुनिया). In Bihar & Bengal, it is called bundiya (बुंदिया/বুন্দিয়া).
To make the crispy savory snack, chickpea flour, baking powder, and turmeric are mixed into a batter. A slotted spoon is used to pour small drops into a deep frying pan. The boondi is then soaked in sugar syrup. Crushed curry leaves are added. Khara boondi (spicy savory boondi) is eaten by itself or is added to Bombay mix.
Boondi is popularly used to prepare raita in North India. Boondi raita typically contains curd (plain yoghurt), boondi (which has been soaked in water to make it soft, then sieved) and seasonings of salt, chilli, and other spices. It is eaten as a side dish with pulao or any other meal.

MTR Foods

MTR Foods is an Indian food products company based in Bengaluru, India. The company manufactures a range of packaged foods including breakfast mixes, ready to eat meals, masalas and spices, snacks and beverages.
MTR Foods Pvt. Ltd. is a subsidiary of Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. MTR is the acronym of Mavalli Tiffin Room.
The company began with the establishment of the Mavalli Tiffin Room (commonly known as MTR) restaurant in Bangalore in 1924 by Yagnanarayana Maiya.
In 1975, when India was under emergency, a Food Control Act was introduced which mandated that food was to be sold at very low prices. This move made it difficult for MTR to maintain high standards in its restaurant business and forced it to diversify into the instant food business by the following year, selling ready-to-eat snacks such as chutneys and rasams.
In 1984, MTR expanded out of Karnataka to the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
In 2007, Orkla Group, a Norwegian conglomerate, acquired the packaged foods business of MTR Foods.
In 2011, MTR launched a sub-brand called MTR SnackUp with a range of traditional South Indian snacks like Khara Boondi and Benne Murukku.
In 2017, MTR launched a new brand called Laban.
Kesari bat

Kesari bat or kesari baat (Kannada: ಕೇಸರಿ ಬಾತ್) is a sweet Indian food that is common throughout the country. The classic ingredients used for its preparation are semolina, sugar, ghee (usually), water, and milk. The sweet is more commonly known as Jonnadula Halwa in certain parts of northern India.
The precise composition of kesari bath varies regionally depending on the availability of ingredients. The dish might be prepared with pineapple, banana, mango, coconut, or rice.
Claims to the origin of the dish are made by Karnataka. The dish is common in the cuisine of Karnataka as well as of multiple regions in South India and is a popular dish during festivals such as Ugadi. The word kesari in multiple Indian languages refers to the spice saffron which creates the dish's saffron-orange-yellow-colored tinge. Though it is a sweet dish, in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, it is prepared not only as a dessert but also for normal breakfasts. It is also served with uppittu or khara bath, and a serving of both dishes on one plate is popularly called "chow chow bath".
In North India, it is served as a sweet dish called suji halwa, suji being the Hindi word for semolina. It uses similar ingredients to kesari baat such as ghee, sugar, semolina and water. Nuts and raisins are often added, and sometimes saffron may also be added. Since this is a household dish in North India, the use of food colour isn't common. It is commonly known as sheera in Marathi/Hindi, rava kesari in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil, and suji halwa in North India and Bangladesh.
The dish is listed as shali-anna in Manasollasa, a 12th-century work by the Chalukya king Someshvara III.
List of plants used in Indian cuisine

South Asian cuisine encompasses a delectable variety of sub-cuisines and cooking styles that vary very widely, reflecting the diversity of the Indian subcontinent, even though there is a certain centrality to the general ingredients used. Terms used the recipes of varied Indian and other South Asian sub-cuisines sometimes tend to be multi-lingual and region-specific, mostly based on the author's specific sub-ethnicity, the popularity of a given vegetable/spice in a given sub-cuisine within South Asia, etc.
Indian cuisine is overwhelmingly vegetarian friendly and employs a variety of different fruits, vegetables, grains, and spices which vary in name from region to region within the country. Most Indian restaurants serve predominantly Punjabi/North Indian cuisine, while a limited few serve a very limited choice of some South Indian dishes like Dosa. But for the connoisseurs, India offers a complex and eclectic array of sub-cuisines to explore, which are equally vegetarian friendly and a delight to the taste buds.
Even for South Asian people, this wide variety of vegetables, fruits, grains and spices used in various Indian sub-cuisines can be mind-boggling because of the variety of region-specific names used for identifying the food items. Indian vegetable markets and grocery stores get their wholesale supplies from suppliers belonging to various regions/ethnicities from all over India and elsewhere, and the food suppliers/packagers mostly use sub-ethnic, region-specific item/ingredient names on the respective signs/labels used to identify specific vegetables, fruits, grains and spices based on their respective regions of origin. This further aggravates the confusion in identifying specific items/ingredients, especially for international consumers/expatriates looking to procure vegetables, fruits, grains and spices specific to Indian sub-cuisines.
This article attempts to centralize, compile and tabulate the various vegetables, fruits, grains and spices that are commonly employed in various South Asian sub-cuisines to help reduce this confusion in identifying and procuring various South Asian food ingredients, especially in the cross-regional, international markets/contexts.
The following is a list of common South Asian ingredients, as well as their names in various local languages spoken.

Paap-O-Meter

Paap-O-Meter (Meter-Of-Sins) is an Indian horror comedy cartoon show that airs on Indian television channel Sony YAY!. The show is available in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam across major DTH and Digital Cable Platforms.
The story revolves around the adventures of Bhoot Boss and his assistants Pakela and Thakela, who look for people who have sinned and teach them a lesson. Together, they live high in the sky, in the ghost world, and keep an eye on the planet earth to ensure that the sinners are always under control. The Meter Of Sins (Paap o meter) tells them if any human has committed a sin and by pressing its button, they can see what the person has done. Along with the main assistants, Bhoot Boss has many more assistants who feature occasionally in the show like Hatela. According to 'Chidhaana Paap Hai' and 'Genie VS Bhoot', when Pakela and Thakela are sent to make things right without Bhoot Boss, they only make every situation worse; that's when Bhoot Boss intervenes and corrects the situation.
In the newer seasons (from Season 5), the ghosts live at Earth, which means that instead of knowing the sinner when the Paap-O-Meter rings, they will find the sinner after a person undergoing a plight tells what his plight is. Other than correcting sinners, they solve many other people's plights which does not have a sinner involved.
The first season of Paap-O-Meter consists of 26 episodes.
The second season of Paap-O-Meter has 26 episodes. The episode names are arranged in the order of production code.
Seasons 1-6 can be watched in Amazon Prime Video, while the show's newer seasons could be watched at SonyLIV App.

Ayam's product offerings vary by country. The sole owner of Ayam Brand is a company called Ayam S.A.R.L.
Alfred Clouet, a French citizen, founded Ayam Brand in 1892 in Singapore, which at that time was a part of British Malaya. The business focused on supplying food for colonial staff. They also produced building materials. At that historic era, the food brand was created to be a seal of quality, as canned food was then regarded as a luxury, inaccessible to the general public. Clouet used a rooster as the logo of the brand; it was a symbol of his home country. The brand name was generated by local traders and consumers, as they started referring to the canned sardines or salmon as Ayam Brand (ayam being the Malay word for 'chicken' or 'rooster').
In 1954, the company was taken over by the Denis Frères Group of Companies. The name of the founder can still be found in some distribution company names: A.Clouet & Co. (KL) Sdn. Bhd. For Malaysia, Clouet Trading Pte. Ltd. for Singapore or A. Clouet (Australia) Pty. Ltd. for Australia – New Zealand.
Active in Malaya in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, the brand expanded out of its historical boundaries after the 1950s. Ayam Brand is a brand leader in specific Asian markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong for mass market products such as sardines, tuna, coconut or baked beans, while it is centred around Asian cuisine in Australia, New Zealand, France, and the United Kingdom.
