Houseboats in New York City

New Yorkers have lived on houseboats since the 19th century, docking across several boroughs. Historically, houseboat dwellers were typically men who worked on barges in the Hudson River. Since the 1940s, houseboat inhabitants have mostly chosen to live aboard for pleasure. Boats offer cheap housing, good views, and privacy. In 1999, it was estimated to be several hundred houseboats in New York City.
Several houseboats are docked on the Newtown Creek. These include the MV Schamonchi, a former Martha's Vineyard Ferry that ended up in Brooklyn when it was decommissioned and sold in 2005. The Schamonchi served as a squat and a party space, and owners paid to dock it at 190 Morgan. Other boats are rented out to tenants. Most boats are docked on city land, without a marina, so owners do not pay to park their boat. Boat dwellers have faced eviction several times from the city's Small Business Services Department and the Transportation Department.
The 79th Street Boat Basin is a marina on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. People have lived there since the 1960s, when the Parks Department leased the marina to third-party management companies, who allowed for live-aboards. In the 1970s, rents were about $200 per month. The 1990s brought disputes between boat dwellers and the city, which resumed management in 1989. It was home to roughly 60 people when the marina closed in 2021 for renovation.
In the 1990s, the Floating Neutrinos junk raft Town Hall was anchored off Pier 25.
Houseboats are also located at the Newport Marina in Jersey City.
Rockaway, Queens, is also a popular place for docking houseboats. Chef Ben Sargent had a houseboat there which was sunk by renters. Marina 59 allows overnight stays but not full-time habitation. This marina was the site of the Boatel, a popular boat hotel that ran for several years before closing after Hurricane Sandy.
City Island in the Bronx is also a location for houseboat dwellers. Great Kills Harbor in Staten Island is another marina where people live on boats. Inwood was home to two sites of houseboats: on the Harlem River near 207th St, and along the Spuyten Duyvil Creek near Inwood Hill.
Prisoners have lived on ships throughout New York City's history, including American prisoners of war held by British ships during the Revolutionary War, commemorated by the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument in Fort Greene Park. Currently the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center, a floating jail barge, is docked near Rikers Island.
Kashmir Valley

The Kashmir Valley, also known as the Vale of Kashmir, is an intermontane valley in northern Jammu and Kashmir, a region in Indian-administered Kashmir. The valley is surrounded by ranges of the Himalayas, bounded on the southwest by the Pir Panjal Range and on the northeast by the Greater Himalayan range. It is approximately 135 km (84 mi) long and 32 km (20 mi) wide, and drained by the Jhelum River. It covers the entire area of the Kashmir Division of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Kashmir Valley lies between latitude 33° and 35°N, and longitude 73° and 76°E. The valley is 100 km (62 mi) wide and covers 15,520.3 km (5,992.4 sq mi) in area. It is bounded by sub-ranges of the Western Himalayas: the Great Himalayas bound it in the northeast and separate it from the Tibetan Plateau, whereas the Pir Panjal Range in the Lesser Himalayas bounds it on the west and the south, and separates it from the Punjab Plain. The valley has an average elevation of 1,850 metres (6,070 ft) above sea-level, but the surrounding Pir Panjal range has an average elevation of 10,000 feet (3,000 m). The Jhelum River is the main river of the Valley. It originates at Verinag; its most important tributaries are the Lidder and Sind rivers. Unlike other areas of Kashmir region, the Kashmir Valley is densely populated owing to the availability of a large expanse of fertile flat land.
The Kashmir Valley has a moderate climate, which is largely defined by its geographic location, with the towering Karakoram Range in the north, Pir Panjal Range in the south and west, and Zanskar Range in the east. It can be generally described as cool in the spring and autumn, mild in the summer and cold in the winter. As a large valley with significant differences in geo-location among various districts, the weather is often cooler in the hilly areas compared to the flat lower parts.
Summer is usually mild and fairly dry, but relative humidity is generally high and the nights are cool. Precipitation occurs throughout the year and no month is particularly dry. The hottest month is July (mean minimum temperature 16 °C, mean maximum temperature 32 °C) and the coldest are December–January (mean minimum temperature −15 °C, mean maximum temperature 0 °C).
The Kashmir Valley enjoys a moderate climate but weather conditions are unpredictable. The record high temperature is 37.8°C and the record low is −18 °C. On 5 and 6 January 2012, after years of relatively little snow, a wave of heavy snow and low temperatures (winter storm) shocked the valley covering it in a thick layer of snow and ice.
The Valley has seen an increase in relative humidity and annual precipitation in the last few years. This is most likely because of the commercial afforestation projects which also include expanding parks and green cover.

Siglap Post Office

Siglap Post Office is a post office serving the Siglap residential area of Singapore.
The two-storey building "features a clear delineation between the upper and lower floors", separated by a ledge running around the building, similar to several other post office buildings across Singapore completed in the same period. The ground floor features "asymmetrically positioned" glass showcase windows. Ventilating blocks were placed in front of the second storey, to allow for privacy as the floor was where the living quarters for the office's postmaster were located. According to Roots, which is published by the National Heritage Board, the building's design was "inspired by the appearance of industrial machinery — a deliberate move to proclaim a new era of local governance."
In February 1965, it was announced that the post office was to be built by the Public Works Department for $90,000, along with the similarly-designed Still Road Post Office. Tenders were to be called in March and construction was to last nine months. The post office was to be operational by early 1966, with various amenities being located on the ground floor, including a public office, a serving counter, a postmaster's room, a staff room, a mail store room, a parcel enclosure and a strong room. The post office was completed in 1965. It was officially opened by then-Minister of State for Education Abdul Rahim Ishak several months after Singapore's split from Malaysia in August of that year. According to Roots, the building "stood in stark contrast to its earlier neighbours — mostly village houses constructed of attap and wood."
In February 1967, it was announced that the Siglap Post Office had won the "best maintained post office" award for 1966, with the Still Road Post Office coming in second and the Thomson Road Post Office coming in third. Then-postmaster-general M. Bala Subramanion presented the post office's postmaster, V. Panchaiharam, with a trophy. From 26 November 1979 to 1 February 1980, the post office was closed for renovations. It reopened with a larger lobby, a newer service counter and more post office boxes. In March 2013, the My First Classroom preschool opened a branch in the second storey of the post office. By October, it was among seven preschools housed within a post office building.

Neatsville, Kentucky

Neatsville is an unincorporated community in Adair County, in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It is located at the junction of Kentucky Route 206 and Kentucky Route 76. Its elevation is 705 feet (215 m). For unknown reasons, the town's name was spelled as Neetsville from 1876 until 1886, when the town's post office closed. In its early history from around the 1810s to 1900, Neatsville progressively grew to become a well-established, incorporated town. It has been relocated twice through the years, once due to flooding circa 1900–1902, which decimated the town, and once in the 1960s when the Green River was impounded to make way for the Green River Reservoir.
Various sources and accounts have referred to Neatsville as a village, as a postal village, as a hamlet and as a town at different times in its history.
The community was settled in the early 1800s by the Neats, with Randolph Neat being the first to acquire land there. As it expanded, the community grew to encompass several stores, a hotel, a doctor's office, mills, a sawmill, distilleries, a saloon, a salt works, a cooper shop, a carding machine, and a Masonic Lodge. It was incorporated as a town on February 23, 1847. Its post office was established on March 13, 1844, and closed in 1886. In 1848 the town's population was estimated to be around 50, and in 1876 the town's population was estimated at 60. The Masonic Lodge was relocated to Pellyton in 1917.
Sometime circa 1900–1902, a significant flood decimated the town, necessitating its relocation from the north bank to the south bank of the Green River, at which time the former location was abandoned. Erosion had occurred in the foundations of the buildings in the former location due to the flooding. A 1916 local account of the town's former site after the flooding characterized it as "nearly obliterated" and "in ruins". Neatsville was later relocated to its present location sometime in the 1960s, when the Green River was impounded to enable the creation of the Green River Reservoir.

South Asian cinema

South Asian cinema refers to the cinema of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The broader terms Asian cinema, Eastern cinema and Oriental cinema in common usage often encompass South Asia as well as East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Cinema is prominent in South Asia, with the Bollywood (representing the most-spoken language in the region of Hindi) and South Indian film industries being the most dominant. Pakistan's Lollywood also is growing, while historically, Bengali cinema was highly acclaimed by international film circles.
The scope of South Asian cinema is huge and takes in a wide array of different film styles, linguistic regions, and genres. South Asian cinema is particularly famous in the West for:
Bangladeshi cinema, is the Bengali language film industry based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The industry often generally referred to as Dhakai Cinema or Dhallywood, has been a significant film industry since the early 1970s. The 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and the first half of the 1990s were the golden years for Bangladeshi films as the industry produced many successful films. The industry has recently begun receiving international acclaim and many Bangladeshi films are getting released internationally.
India contains many state languages which have film industries centered on them.
Phuang malai

Phuang malai (Thai: พวงมาลัย, pronounced [pʰūaŋ māːlāj]) or malai (มาลัย, [māːlāj]) are a Thai form of floral garland. They are often given as offerings or kept for good luck.
Phuang malai may be derived from the Tamil term “poo maalai” which has the same meaning. It is a combination of two Tamil terms: “poo” (flowers) and “maalai” (garland). There is historical evidence that the Chola kings from Tamil Nadu (South India) had captured parts of what is currently Thailand, Java and Sumatra, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Rock inscriptions mention these victories. In general, the Tamil people are skillful garland makers and celebrate every special life event with flowers and garlands- from birth to death. Chola kings were known for patronising temples in Tamil Nadu and abroad and, in doing so, disseminated these traditions. Because of their strong presence in Thailand, the Cholas came to be known as “Chulalongarn” in Thai.
The first record of phuang malai was found during the reign of King Chulalongkorn. There was a literary work written by the king called Phra Ratchaphithi Sip Song Duean ('Twelve-Months Royal Ceremonies') which contained information about events and ceremonies in the Sukhothai Kingdom. In the 4th month ceremony, it was mentioned that fresh flower garlands were made by the king's chief concubine Thao Sichulalak (ท้าวศรีจุฬาลักษณ์). Then, in the Rattanakosin Kingdom the phuang malai became an important ornamental object in every ceremony. Every girl in the palace was expected to acquire the skills of making phuang malai. Queen Saovabha Phongsri devised a wide variety of intricate phuang malai patterns.
Phuang malai patterns can be divided into six groups.
Phuang malai can be classified into three categories by use.
In addition to the use of the malai as offerings, gifts, and souvenirs, malai have many more functions. They can be used to decorate throne halls and houses. Malai can also be hung on Thai musical instruments to pay respect to the masters of those instruments and for good luck and success in a performance.
Thai bamboo garlands are decorative woven offerings sometimes used as a substitute for floral garlands and as a way to hang other offerings. Bamboo garlands are part of the tradition of Phu Thai people in the village of Kut Wa in Kuchinarai District, Kalasin Province, in the northeast of Thailand. Bamboo garlands are also used in the festival of Buddhist Lent during the Thai rainy season, called "Bun Khao Pradap Din" or "Bun Phuang Malai Ban Kut Wa".
To celebrate Phu Thai, the villagers of Kut Wa create ornate garlands and form a procession around Wat Kok to display their handiwork, with dancing, singing, and rhythmic drumming.

Wedding registry

A bridal registry or wedding registry is a service provided by a website or retail store that assists engaged couples in the communication of gift preferences to wedding guests. Selecting items from store stock, the couple lists desired items and files this list with the chosen merchant. The list is then made available to wedding guests, either by the couple's family or by the merchant. Upon the purchase of a listed item, the merchant updates the gift registry accordingly. In addition to providing valuable information for the buyer, the system helps prevent the receipt of duplicate or unwanted gifts, potentially saving time for both the giver and recipient.
The Chicago-founded department store Marshall Field's first instituted the practice of a bridal registry in 1924 at its Marshall Field and Company Building as a means for the engaged couple to indicate chosen china, silver, and crystal patterns to family and friends. US-based Target stores pioneered the electronic self-service gift registry in 1993, using a service provided by The Gift Certificate Center of Minneapolis. William J. Veeneman (the founder and CEO of The Gift Certificate Center) and others invented and subsequently patented the technology.
Since the turn of the 21st century, the traditional concept of the bridal registry has evolved. As of 2015 there are now more specialized versions such as the honeymoon registry, baby registry, house registry, and charity registry. Additionally, there are registry services that allow registrants to place items from many stores on a single registry (commonly called universal registries).

There has also been a recent trend towards gift-list services that allow the couple to add almost anything to their gift list—such as contributions to their honeymoon, flights, or experience days, as well as traditional gifts from any store.

Empresa de trabajo temporal

Una Empresa de trabajo temporal (ETT) es una empresa que sirve de intermediario para procurar un empleo a un trabajador o, paralelamente, un trabajador a un empleador. Su regulación legal surge a raíz de la normativa establecida en el convenio 96 de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo aprobado en 1933 y modificado en 1949, a medida que los diferentes países lo han ido adoptando se han creado las legislaciones nacionales correspondientes. El concepto de empresa de trabajo temporal se denominó en principio en dicho convenio como «agencia retribuida de colocación», y definía a «toda persona, sociedad, institución, oficina u otra organización» que sirviera de intermediario.​
Las empresas de trabajo temporal, necesitan para que sus actividades sean legales cumplir una serie de requisitos y una autorización administrativa concedida por las autoridades correspondientes así como someterse a inspecciones y auditorías periódicas.
En España la legislación que regula las empresas de trabajo temporal está basada en la Ley 14 1994 por la que se regulan las empresas de trabajo temporal y Reales Decretos y Convenios que se han desarrollado posteriormente.
La Ley 14/1994 establece toda la normativa que existe en las relaciones de las empresa y de los trabajadores siendo las más significativas las que se refieren a los tipos de contratos que se realizan y las remuneraciones salariales correspondientes:
A fecha de 2002, hay 323 ETT y generan cerca del 0,8% del empleo, la mitad de la media de la Unión Europea, y en su mayor parte relacionado con el sector servicios. De los contratos firmados a través de ellas el 43% corresponde a menores de 24 años.​
Las ETT son criticadas por las organizaciones sindicales de ser uno de los principales focos de precariedad laboral.​
