Deep fried egg

A deep fried egg is an egg dish consisting of an egg that has been deep fried. Sometimes the dish is prepared only using the egg yolk, which is referred to as deep fried egg yolk. Various types of eggs can be used, such as chicken, duck and quail eggs. The dish is sometimes served alone, and is also used as an ingredient for various dishes. Sometimes also pre-cooked eggs are breaded and deep fried.
A typical deep fried egg preparation is to crack the eggs directly into a container of heated cooking oil and then continuously spooning the egg white around the yolk to keep the yolk covered. Another method involves using two cooking spoons to continuously roll the egg in the oil after the egg white spooning process, which can assist in creating a consistent shape and coloration. As the egg cooks, the egg white transforms into a crunchy, hardened crust that surrounds the egg yolk. It is sometimes seasoned, such as with salt and pepper.
Deep fried egg yolk is sometimes prepared using breading on the yolk, which is then deep fried. When breaded, the surface of the dish is crunchy, and the interior can be molten, soft and creamy. This is sometimes served as an appetizer.
Using pre-cooked eggs, such as poached or boiled eggs, they also sometimes are coated in breading before the deep frying.
All variants can be either served as a meal in its own right or used as an ingredient or side dish, e.g. as topping on a salad.
Deep-fried eggs are an ingredient in the Indonesian dish balado tahu telor, which consists of deep-fried eggs, deep-fried tofu, and chili peppers.
The deep-fried egg is a popular dish in Asia. Tokneneng is a tempura-like Filipino street food made by deep-frying hard-boiled chicken or duck eggs covered in a batter that has been colored orange with annatto. Kwek-kwek is a Filipino street food consisting of orange-battered deep-fried quail eggs.
Balut (the developing embryo) may also be boiled with the shell on and then deep-fried. It is sometimes served on a stick in the Philippines.
Son-in-law eggs (Thai: kai look keuy) is a Thai dish prepared using deep-fried hard-boiled eggs and a sweet and sour caramel sauce. It is a relatively common street food in Thailand. In Thai folklore, some sources state that the dish is served as a warning to a mother's son-in-law who is mistreating his wife, or as a warning to a future son-in-law to not mistreat his wife, in which the dish is served to the son-in-law, with the eggs symbolically representing fried testicles.
Prepared deviled eggs can be deep-fried and served hot, too.
Preparation of this dish can be dangerous, because when raw cracked eggs are dropped into hot oil, the oil can significantly erupt and splatter onto the cook or onto a hot stove burner, causing serious burns and potentially starting a fire. Using pre-cooked poached eggs that are well-drained of water can be a safer means of preparation.
Shirataki noodles

Shirataki (Japanese: 白滝, often written with the hiragana しらたき) are translucent, gelatinous Japanese noodles made from the corm of the konjac plant. In traditional Japanese cuisine, they are eaten in soups or stir-fried. The texture is chewy, similar to a tough jelly, and has little flavor before seasoning.
Compared to noodles made from wheat or rice, shirataki is very low in calories, and are sometimes eaten by those on a diet. They are also valuable to people with allergies or intolerances to wheat, gluten or eggs. Shirataki is often sold in containers with alkaline water, and needs to be rinsed before cooking to remove the bitter flavor.
The word shirataki means "white waterfall", referring to the white appearance of the noodles.
Shirataki is also called yam noodles or devil's tongue noodles, referring to the English names of the konjac plant.. One variation is ito-konnyaku (糸こんにゃく "konjac strings"), which are generally thicker, darker, with a square cross section. It is preferred in the Kansai region.
The konjac yam, whose corm (a thick underground stem) yields the yam-cake (konnyaku) from which the noodles are made, is also called devil's tongue yam or elephant yam. Shirataki noodles are made from 97% water and 3% konjac, which contains glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber. They are very low in digestible carbohydrates and food energy, and have little flavor of their own.
There used to be a difference in manufacturing methods. Producers in the Kansai region of Japan prepared shirataki (called ito konnyaku there) by cutting konnyaku jelly into threads, while producers in the Kantō region made the noodles by pushing konnyaku through small holes into a hot, concentrated lime solution. Modern producers make both types using the latter method.
Shirataki noodles come in dry and soft "wet" forms in Asian markets and some supermarkets. When purchased wet, they are packaged in liquid. Some brands require rinsing and sautéing or parboiling, as the alkaline water in the packaging has an odor some find unpleasant. They normally have a shelf life of up to one year.
The noodles can also be drained and dry-roasted, which diminishes bitterness and gives the noodles a more pasta-like consistency. Dry-roasted noodles can be served in soup stock, sauce, or noodle soup. It can also be stir-fried.
Dried lime

Dried lime, also known as: black lime; noomi basra (Iraq); limoo amani (Iran); and loomi (Oman), is a lime that has lost its water content, usually after having spent a majority of its drying time in the sun. They are used whole, sliced, or ground, as a spice in Middle Eastern dishes. Originating in the Persian Gulf – hence the Iranian name limoo amani and the Iraqi name noomi basra ("lemon from Basra") – dried limes are popular in cookery across the Middle East.
Dried limes are used to add a sour depth and flavor to dishes, through a process known as souring. In Persian cuisine, they are used to flavor stews and soups. Across the Middle East, they are used with fish, whereas in Iraq, they are added to almost all dishes and forms of stuffing. They can also be used to make dried lime tea. Powdered dried lime is also used as an ingredient in Middle Eastern-style baharat (a spice mixture). It is a traditional ingredient in the cuisines of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other countries of the Persian Gulf.
Dried limes are strongly flavored. They taste sour and citrusy like fresh limes, but have an added earthy and somewhat smoky taste and lack the sweetness of fresh limes. Because they are preserved, they also have a slightly bitter, fermented flavor, but the bitter accents are mainly concentrated in the lime's outer skin and seeds.
Dried lime tea is a type of herbal tea made from dried limes and is a popular beverage in Iraq where it is used to aid indigestion, diarrhea, and nausea.

Soewardja

Soewardja (born 1900) was a successful Indonesian artist in the first half of the twentieth century, who was specialized in drawing water color paintings that captured the romantic depictions of the Dutch East Indies as the main themes; mostly natural scenes of mountains, rice paddies and villages, with scenes of natives.
Soewardja was born in Bandung on the island of Java in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) and grew up among an artistic environment. His brothers Basar and Adiwinata were both also artist painter by profession. Soewardja moved to Batavia where he soon became an accomplished painter and was highly appreciated by the Dutch colonial citizens. However, his work was sometimes criticised by nationalistic artists as following the Mooi Indie style (Dutch for "Beautiful Indies"). The term became famous in 1939 after prominent painter Sindoesoedarsono Soedjojono used it to mock painters that merely depict the romantic, naturalistic landscapes of the Dutch East Indies. The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam has a number of Soewardja's works in its permanent collection.
LIPNUR Sikumbang

The LIPNUR Sikumbang (Indonesian: Beetle) was a low-wing monoplane of mixed construction built in Indonesia in 1954 as a COIN and anti-guerrilla-warfare aircraft. Of conventional configuration, it had fixed tricycle undercarriage and seated the pilot under a bubble canopy. A single example was built under the designation NU-200 in 1954, and another as the NU-225 in 1957. The latter machine was grounded in 1967.
Due to various internal rebellions that happened across Indonesia in the early 1950s, Major Nurtanio Pringgoadisuryo, head of Indonesian Air Force’s Research, Development, and Production Depot, was inspired to design and build a light counter-insurgency aircraft to meet the demands of the Air Force. Nurtanio, together with two technicians, Second Lieutenant Achmad and Second Lieutenant Tosin, built the aircraft in their spare time with limited funds from the Air Force and tooling, spare parts and materials available at the depot's facility in Andir airfield, Bandung.
The aircraft was powered by a single 200 hp de Havilland Gipsy Six air-cooled inverted inline piston engine with two-bladed fixed-pitch propeller. The fuselage was made from welded 4130 steel (chromoly) with metal skins, while the wings and tail surfaces were all-wood material. It has cantilevered low wing with NACA 23012 airfoil, with the wing consisted of one-piece two-spar wooden construction with plywood covering, fitted with electric split-type flaps and statically balanced ailerons. The tail surfaces were made of wood with plywood skins, with trim-tab fitted to the port elevator and rudder. The aircraft has a fixed tricycle landing gear with cantilever oleo shock struts and non-steerable nose wheel.
The first prototype was dubbed NU-200 Sikumbang. The "NU" stands for Nurtanio, while "200" refers to the power of its Gipsy Six engine. The NU-200 first flew on 1 August 1954.

Cargo tricycle

A cargo tricycle or transport tricycle is a type of cargo bike that has historically been used for the transport of goods, and more recently also for transport of children. It can stand on its own when parked and is stable at low speeds. However, they often have poor stability at high speed as most simple models are not able to lean into the turn to shift the center of gravity. However, there are some cargo tricycles with advanced suspension that allows for some roll which alleviates some of the stability problems at high speed.
A tadpole configuration is a three-wheel cargo bike with two front wheels, and usually either a large flat or a large box at the front for carrying luggage. The box can also be replaced by seats so that passengers can be transported with it. Although bakfiets is the Dutch word for cargo bike in general, it has traditionally mainly been used for such three-wheeled cargo bikes with two front wheels. In Flanders, such three-wheel cargo bikes are often called triporteur, which is probably a combination of tricycle (three-wheeled bicycle) or tricar (three-wheeler) and transporteur (transporter). On the other hand, two-wheel cargo bikes (like Long John's) are called biporteur or Deense bakfiets ("Danish cargo bike").
A delta configuration is the reverse version of a tricycle (i.e. having one front wheel and two rear wheels), and is often used on cycle rickshaws or bicycles for the mentally disabled and people with poor balance.
Cargo bikes in the tadpole configuration are considered the "traditional" type of cargo bike in the Netherlands and were common for commercial activities until the 1950s, before becoming popular again in recent times with families with children as an alternative to cars in the late 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s.
A traditional bakfiets usually has two white or yellow front lights and a red rear light, as well as front and rear reflectors. Non-motorized and pedelec cargo bikes have many similarities with purely motorized versions (where one does not need to pedal at all to get engine assistance), which are called cargo motor trikes (brombakfiets). Such mopeds were previously common for goods transport in the Western world (for example Harley-Davidson Servi-Car), but are today mostly used in developing countries.
The steering on a traditional type of tadpole cargo bike is simple in construction, and the wheel is not steered around its own axis. Such bicycles are therefore often unstable and difficult to control at high speeds, and have therefore lost much of their popularity compared to other modern cargo bikes such as long Johns and longtails.
There are newer tadpole bicycles where the steering wheels turn around their own pivot axis, as well as with suspension that lets the bicycle roll such that the rider can lean into turns for better stability.

Padang Beach

Padang Beach or popularly known as Taplau (short for tapi lauik, Minang language which means waterfront) is a beach located in the city of Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This beach is located in a dense urban area in the District of West Padang, and extends from Purus to Batang Arau estuary. The beach is approximately 23 km from Minangkabau International Airport or 30 minutes by car.
Lovina Beach

Lovina Beach (or often simply Lovina) is a beach on the northwestern side of the island of Bali, Indonesia.
The beach is in the territory of Kaliasem village, in Banjar district in Buleleng Regency (capital Singaraja). It takes its name from a home owned by Pandji Tisna (1908-1978), a Regent of Buleleng and pioneer of tourism to Bali in the early 1950s.
For touristic purposes, the coastal strip stretches from 5 km (3 miles) west of the town of Singaraja to 15 km (10 miles) west. This area includes the small villages (from east to west) of Pemaron, Tukad Mungga, Anturan (Buleleng district), Banyualit (Banjar district), Kalibukbuk (Buleleng district), Kaliasem and Temukus (Banjar district). Although it has become more popular with tourists, it remains far quieter than the tourist hotspots of the island's south side.
Popular activities for visitors include diving, snorkeling, and early-morning boat trips off the coast to see dolphins. These dolphin sighting trips usually last about two hours, and generally cost anywhere between 60,000–250,000 Indonesian rupiah, or about US$5–$20.
Lovina is one of Bali's five sites benefiting from the largest coral restoration project in the world (as of 2021): the Indonesian Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) intends to install altogether just under one million structural units. The project is funded by the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry, to the tune of $7.5m. At Lovina, 1,000 ‘bio-rocks’ (large concrete and metal bells with holes to attach hard coral) have been built and installed by 250 locals, out of work since the pandemic. The local team, who started its work as a small group of people in 2019, also takes care of the nursery that was implemented as one of the first moves; they take in international volunteers, run awareness programs, monitor and document the evolution of the site, experiment on different methods for planting coral, hunt coral predators, pick up trash underwater... This project also aims at reducing unemployement by planning for supervision and maintenance work of the sites, an undertaking that corresponds to the largest and more costly part of reef regeneration. Long-term monitoring has so far been implemented only for very few such operations, and is required to build a workable database needed to increase general knowledge on the process and increase success for future coral projects. Tries Razak, from Java’s IPB University, explains in 2021 that “Growing coral is not growing trees, where you plant it and it will grow. The science is still very fuzzy. It might be successful in one spot but two metres away, the hydro-dynamic factors or supply of larvae will be slightly different and it won’t work there. And as most of the restoration projects in Indonesia are being done without preliminary studies, artificial reefs are not planted in places where they are needed most.”

Black sand

Black sand is sand that is black in color. One type of black sand is a heavy, glossy, partly magnetic mixture of usually fine sands containing minerals such as magnetite, found as part of a placer deposit. Another type of black sand, found on beaches near a volcano, consists of tiny fragments of basalt.
While some beaches are predominantly made of black sand, even other color beaches (e.g. gold and white) can often have deposits of black sand, particularly after storms. Larger waves can sort out sand grains leaving deposits of heavy minerals visible on the surface of erosion escarpments.
Black sands are used by miners and prospectors to indicate the presence of a placer formation. Placer mining activities produce a concentrate that is composed mostly of black sand. Black sand concentrates often contain additional valuables, other than precious metals: rare earth elements, thorium, titanium, tungsten, zirconium and others are often fractionated during igneous processes into a common mineral-suite that becomes black sands after weathering and erosion.
Several gemstones, such as garnet, topaz, ruby, sapphire, and diamond are found in placers and in the course of placer mining, and sands of these gems are found in black sands and concentrates. Purple or ruby-colored garnet sand often forms a showy surface dressing on ocean beach placers.
An example of a non-volcanic black sand beach is at Langkawi in Malaysia.
When lava contacts water, it cools rapidly and shatters into sand and fragmented debris of various size. Much of the debris is small enough to be considered sand. A large lava flow entering an ocean may produce enough basalt fragments to build a new black sand beach almost overnight. The famous "black sand" beaches of Hawaii, such as Punaluʻu Beach and Kehena Beach, were created virtually instantaneously by the violent interaction between hot lava and sea water. Since a black sand beach is made by a lava flow in a one time event, they tend to be rather short lived since sands do not get replenished if currents or storms wash sand into deeper water. For this reason, the state of Hawaii has made it illegal to remove black sand from its beaches. Further, a black sand beach is vulnerable to being inundated by future lava flows, as was the case for Hawaiʻi's Kaimū, usually known simply as Black Sand Beach, and Kalapana beaches. An even shorter-lived black sand beach was Kamoamoa. Unlike with white and green sand beaches, walking barefoot on black sand can result in burns, as the black sand absorbs more solar radiation.
Black sand has formed beaches in places including:
Vaso

El vaso es un recipiente de tamaño variado​ que sirve para beber, contener o trasladar algo, por lo general líquido. Por extensión, se denomina también vaso a la cantidad de materia vertida en este recipiente, aunque no es oficialmente una medida. Para Fernando Corripio, vaso (del latín «vasum») es sinónimo de vasija y de recipiente.​
El primer vaso en todo el mundo lo obtuvo el hombre primitivo cuando unía sus manos formando un cuenco o copa. Luego, llegarían recipientes más sofisticados como cuernos, cáscaras de frutos, trozos de madera vaciados, hasta que la alfarería se puso al servicio de todo tipo de necesidades domésticas.​ Las culturas más desarrolladas de la Antigüedad disponían de vasijas de cerámica que pueden considerarse precedentes del vaso. Progresivamente, las vasijas de barro vidriado aceptaron la competencia de metales y aleaciones, y los primitivos vasos se hicieron morfológicamente muy variados y más lujosos.​
.​​
Una clasificación elemental diferencia 3 tipos de vasos básicos: el vaso corto, el vaso largo y el chupito.​ Una tipología más rica, no exhaustiva, podría resumirse en el siguiente cuadro:​
El vocabulario de los vasos es caprichoso. El en las rocas («on the rocks») debe su bautizo al aspecto de los hielos que se ponen en él antes de servir la bebida. El vaso Collins, alargado, cilíndrico, habitual contenedor el cócteles populares como el gin-tónic, al parecer debe su nombre a un chico de barra, camarero y supuesto barman: John Collins.​​​
Vaso (alfarería)

Vaso, como recipiente cerámico contenedor y quizá por su importancia en arqueología,​ ha sido aceptado en la terminología alfarera y especialmente en ceramografía, llegando a sustituir al término tradicional vasija. El propio Diccionario de la lengua española (DLE), tras dar a la voz latina «vasum» su origen etimológico, anota como significado o acepción principal el de pieza cóncava de diferentes tamaños capaz de contener algo.​​
Los ceramógrafos denominan vaso a toda vasija de arcilla capaz de contener algo: líquidos como el agua, el aceite o la cerveza; semilíquidos (como el garum o la miel); o bien, sólidos: granos diversos, aceitunas, frutos secos, etc.
Las clasificaciones morfológicas pueden llegar a ser exhaustivas. Una evaluación elemental distingue formas simples y formas compuestas; entre las primeras estarían las figuras geométricas de revolución, como el cilindro, el cono, la elipse y la esfera (además de los correspondientes vasos semiesféricos y vasos troncocónicos); la complejidad de formas posibles compuestas dificulta su catalogación y tanto morfología como denominaciones varían en función del lugar de producción.​
Existen asimismo otras pautas de clasificación y ordenamiento, en función de las técnicas y materiales empleados.​
Ejemplos de la rica vitrina de modelos que la arqueología ha dedicado al vaso alfarero a lo largo de la historia de la cerámica:
Vaso de precipitado

Un vaso de precipitado, o conocido también como vaso Beaker, es un recipiente cilíndrico de vidrio borosilicatado fino que se utiliza muy comúnmente en el laboratorio, sobre todo, para preparar o calentar sustancias, medir o traspasar líquidos. Es cilíndrico con un fondo plano; se le encuentra de varias capacidades, desde 100 mL hasta de varios litros. Normalmente es de vidrio, de metal o de un plástico en especial y es aquel cuyo objetivo es contener gases o líquidos. Tiene componentes de teflón u otros materiales resistentes a la corrosión.
Suelen estar graduados, pero esta graduación es inexacta por la misma del artefacto; su forma regular facilita que pequeñas variaciones en la temperatura o incluso en el vertido pasen desapercibidas en la graduación. No es recomendable utilizarlo para medir volúmenes de sustancias, ya que es un material que se somete a cambios bruscos de temperatura, lo cual lo hace desgraduar y en consecuencia entregará una medida errónea.
La mayoría de los vasos de precipitado pertenecen al diseño de Griffin, en honor de John Joseph Griffin. En este caso suelen ser de altura baja en relación con su diámetro​ (su altura viene a ser 1,4 veces su diámetro;​ modelo A de la imagen adjunta) y suelen venir provistos de un pico o labio que facilita el vertido de líquidos sin que se produzcan derrames.
Suelen ser más altos y esbeltos​ (su altura viene a ser el doble de su diámetro;​ modelo B), en cuyo caso reciben el nombre de vaso Berzelius, en honor del químico sueco Jöns Jacob Berzelius. A veces, carecen de pico vertedor y son apropiados para contener electrodos y para titulaciones.
Los vasos planos (C, en la imagen) a menudo son llamados cristalizadores, porque la mayoría se utilizan para realizar la cristalización de un compuesto a partir de una de sus disoluciones, pero a menudo también se utiliza como recipientes para su uso en calefacción al baño María. Estos vasos por lo general no tienen escala graduada.
Un vaso de precipitado se distingue de un frasco porque en este último sus caras laterales son rectas y no inclinadas o curvas. La excepción a esta definición es un vaso de lados ligeramente cónicos, llamado vaso Phillips.
Los vasos de precipitado también se conocen como "beaker".
Los vasos de precipitado son fabricados comúnmente en vidrio (por lo general, vidrio de borosilicato​), pero también puede ser en metal (como el acero inoxidable o aluminio) o algunos tipos de plástico (en particular, de polietileno, polipropileno o PTFE). Un uso común de los vasos de polipropileno es el análisis espectral de rayos gamma de muestras líquidas y sólidas y gaseosas.
Vaso de tubo

En coctelería, el vaso de tubo (también conocido por su nombre en inglés, vaso Collins) es un vaso de vidrio de forma cilíndrica, más angosto de diámetro y más largo de altura que un vaso común (vaso highball). Típicamente contiene de 300 a 410 ml de líquido (10-14 fl oz).​
Es el vaso ideal para servir los denominados «tragos largos» (o por su nombre inglés, tumblers):​ el Tequila Sunrise, el Mimosa, el Mauresque, el destornillador, el Gin Fizz, la Piscola, el Horse's Neck, el Cubalibre, el Tom Collins o el John Collins, de donde proviene su nombre.
Por su forma, es recomendado para bebidas con gas, ya que ayuda a alargar el tiempo de efervescencia. De hecho, en España es común servir los «cubatas» (ron con bebida de cola) en este vaso.
Modern Library

La Modern Library es una editorial estadounidense fundada en 1917 por Albert Boni y Horace Liveright, como filial de su empresa editorial Boni & Liveright. En 1925 fue comprada por Bennett Cerf y Donald Klopfer. Random House, fundada en 1927 como filial de la Modern Library, acabó con el tiempo convirtiéndose en la empresa matriz de la editorial.
La Modern Library publicaba originalmente solo libros de tapa dura.​ En 1950, comenzó a publicar las Modern Library College Editions, colección precursora de la actual serie de clásicos de bolsillo. De 1955 a 1960, la compañía publicó colecciones de calidad numeradas de bolsillo, pero las interrumpió en 1960, cuando la serie fue adoptada por Vintage, editorial recién adquirida. En la página principal de la Modern Library se afirma:
En 1998, el novelista David Ebershoff se convirtió en el nuevo director de publicaciones de la Modern Library. Ebershoff permaneció en su puesto hasta 2005, renunciando para concentrarse en su propia escritura y para convertirse en redactor de Random House.
En septiembre de 2000, la Modern Library inició una serie de clásicos en rústica de nuevo diseño. Seis nuevos títulos se publican en la serie, el segundo martes de cada mes.
En su inicio, la Modern Library se identificó como "La biblioteca que publica los mejores libros del mundo". De acuerdo con esa identidad de la marca, en 1998 los editores crearon una lista que llamaron el "Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels", que suma cien títulos. Además, llevan a cabo una encuesta de Internet, no científica, para recabar la opinión, a partir de la cual sacan una lista de preferencias de lectores.
La lista del 'top ten' (los diez primeras obras) de los editores se muestra aquí: 100 mejores novelas de la Modern Library y la Lista de las 100 Mejores Novelas aparece en enlace más abajo.
