Salacca zalacca

Salak (Salacca zalacca) é uma espéce de palmeira (família Arecaceae) nativa de Java e Sumatra na Indonésia. É cultivada em outras regiões como alimento, tendo sido implantada em Bali, Lombok, Timor, Malásia, Molucas e Celebes.
É uma palmeira de curto porte, como folhas com mais de 6 metros (20 pé) de comprimento. Cada palma tem pecíolo de 2 metros com espinhos de mais de 15 centímetros (5,9 pol) de comprimento, e numerosas folhas. As frutas crescem em grupos na base da palmeira e são também conhecidas por fruta da serpente em função das escalas de marrom avermelhado de sua casca. Elas se assemelham no formato e tamanho ao figo (ficus). De polpa comestível, pode ser descascada apertando a ponta, o que deve fazer com que a casca se desprenda para que possa ser afastada. O interior da fruta consiste em três lóbulos com os dois maiores, ou mesmo os três, contendo uma grande semente. Os lóbulos se assemelham e têm a consistência de grandes dentes de alho descascados. O sabor é geralmente doce e ácido, com uma forte propriedade adstringente, mas sua textura semelhante a uma maçã pode variar de muito seco ( salak pondoh de Yogyakarta) para úmido e crocante (salak Bali).<ref>Mogea, Johanis P. 1982. Salacca zalacca var. amboinensis. Principes 26: 71. </ ref>
A árvore de salak foi cultivada em toda a Indonésia, e existem pelo menos 30 culturas, a maioria das quais gera fruto de sabor adstringente e doce. Duas populares áreas de cultivo são salak pondoh da província Yogyakarta (encontrado na década de 1980) e salak Bali da ilha de Bali.
Salak pondoh é uma fruta importante na província de Yogyakarta na ilha de Java. Nos cinco anos até 1999, a produção anual em Yogyakarta duplicou para 28.666 toneladas. Sua popularidade (em comparação com outras áreas de cultivo) entre os consumidores indonésios locais deve-se principalmente à intensidade do seu aroma e ao seu sabor doce mesmo antes de atingir a maturidade total.
Salak pondoh tem mais três variedades superiores, a saber, pondoh super , 'pondoh hitam' '(pondoh preto) e' 'pondoh gading' '(pondoh de marfim / pele amarela).
Salak Bali é comumente vendido em toda a ilha de Bali, e é uma fruta popular com os habitantes locais e turistas. A variedade dá uma sensação de amido na boca, com um sabor que lembra o abacaxi diluído e o suco de limão.
O mais caro salak de Bali é o gula pasir (literalmente "açúcar de areia" ou "açúcar de grão", referente ao seu grau fino), que é menor do que o salak normal e é o mais doce de todos os salak . O preço em Bali é RU da Indonésia 15,000-30,000 (US $ 1,50-3,00) por quilograma, dependendo da época do ano.
Salak gula pasir ou também conhecido como Sugar Salak, é célebre por sua suculenta suavidade às vezes fermentado em vinho Salak, que tem um teor alcoólico de 13,5 por cento, semelhante ao vinho tradicional feito de uvas.
Lima (fruto)

A lima (conhecida popularmente no Brasil também como limão Thaiti), fruto da limeira, refere-se a várias espécies de citrinos, com frutos tipicamente redondos, verde-amarelados, com diâmetro de 3–6 cm, geralmente com polpa azeda, semelhantes ao limão. Existem ainda frutos de outro gêneros também chamados limas como a lima espanhola e o limão almiscarada.
As limas geralmente comercializadas são a lima-taiti (Citrus x latifolia) e o Citrus Welinton aurantiifolia.
O termo lima é derivado do nome persa لیمو Limu aquando da introdução da fruta na Europa durante as Cruzadas. Em uso corrente, lima pode designar uma porção desta fruta, tipicamente esmagada e incluindo a casca, ou apenas o seu sumo amargo.
Há a referir também outros limões: o limão-cravo (Citrus x limonia), a combava ou lima cafre (ou Kaffir) (Citrus x hystrix), o limão doce (Citrus x limetta), a lima-da-pérsia (Citrus x limettioides), os vários tipos de lima Australiana, a lima espanhola (ou mamoncillo) (Melicoccus bijugatus), o limão selvagem (Adelia ricinella) e o limão almiscarada ou calamondin (X Citrofortunella mitis).
A árvore da lima é um arbusto com até 5 metros de altura. As variedades anãs são populares na jardinagem e podem ser cultivadas em interiores no Inverno em climas mais frios. O tronco raramente cresce direito, tendo muitos ramos que frequentemente despontam bastante baixo. As folhas são ovais com 2.5-9cm (1-3.5 polegadas) de comprimento, parecendo folhas de laranjeira. As flores têm 2.5 cm de diâmetro, são brancas amareladas com as margens tingidas de roxo claro. As flores e os frutos surgem durante todo o ano mas são mais abundantes de Maio a Setembro.
A lima, em particular o seu sumo, é usada em bebidas, tais como a soda limonada (semelhante a limonada). Bebidas alcoólicas preparadas com lima incluem cocktails como caipiraço - com Bagaço, caipirinha, margarita (coquetel), mojito, e Cuba libre, bem como muitas bebidas que podem ser decoradas com uma fina fatia do fruto ou uma tira espiralada da sua casca (twist). Uma forma habitual de consumo de tequila é em shots acompanhados por pedaços de lima e sal. No México, bem como em alguns outros países, é comum servir cerveja com lima. O sumo da lima é também utilizado em refrigerantes comerciais.
Na culinária, a lima é valorizada quer pela acidez quer pelo aroma floral do sumo e da raspa da casca. No Oriente Médio, sua versão desidratada é usada amplamente na culinária. Talvez a sua utilização mais famosa seja na cozinha tailandesa. Também é usada pelas suas propriedades de conservação no ceviche. Em adição, as folhas da lima Kaffir são usadas na gastronomia do Sudeste Asiático.
Lista de personagens de The Simpsons

Esta é uma lista de personagens de Os Simpsons, uma série de animação adulta e sitcom estadunidense criada por Matt Groening para a Fox Broadcasting Company.
Estão representados aqui somente personagens que apareceram, ou foram ao menos citados, no decorrer da série de TV ou do filme. Ficaram de fora, por tanto, membros da família Simpson que apareceram apenas nas revistas em quadrinhos publicadas pela editora "Bongo Comics Group" ou no livro "The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album", de Matt Groening.
Nessa versão simpsoniana, Deus aparece como um estereótipo do Deus judaico-cristão, um homem alto, iluminado, com uma barba e cabelo longos e cinzentos, cujo rosto nunca aparece (salvo por algumas fotos artísticas do seu rosto e de sua aparição na sequência de abertura de A Casa da Árvore dos Horrores XVI. É o criador do universo Simpson e, apesar de ser uma entidade capaz de perdoar a todos por tudo (apesar de o fato de Homer dormir em quase todas os cultos ser um pecado bem feio, Deus parece não se incomodar com isso), ele não demonstra ser capaz de saber de tudo o que acontece na existência (visto que, na A Casa da Árvore dos Horrores XIV, ele foi enganado por Homer e, na cena deletada da primeira história da "Casa da Árvore dos Horrores IV", quando um demônio usa a cabeça do Homer como bola de boliche, ela arrebenta nos pinos de boliche e lá aparece um bilhete à mão dizendo "Eu lhe devo um Cérebro. Com amor, Deus") ou poder tudo (visto que em A Casa da Árvore dos Horrores XVI, foi incapaz de deter um buraco negro temporal que consumiu o Universo). Vale lembrar que essas coisas aconteceram nas Casas das Árvores dos Horrores, que fica num universo não oficial dos Simpsons.
Uma característica marcante no personagem é o fato de ele ser desenhado (pelo menos normalmente) com CINCO dedos, ao contrário dos outros personagens. Deus aparece sempre na igreja da cidade como o salvador. Também num episódio da "Casa da Árvore dos Horrores", quando Homer engana Flanders ao se passar por Deus, se mostra submisso ao diabo (chegando ao ponto de ir buscar um café para ele), algo totalmente e absurdamente impossível de se acontecer, mesmo na versão alternativa da Casa Da Árvore dos Horrores, uma vez que Deus é infinitamente mais poderoso que o diabo.
Jaboticabal

Jaboticabal is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population is 77,652 (2020 est.) in an area of 707 km. The town takes its name from the jabuticaba tree. The municipality is formed by the headquarters and the districts of Córrego Rico and Lusitânia.
Jaboticabal is home to the UNESP university campus, and is also the city that produces the most peanuts in Brazil. Around the city are extensive sugar cane plantations and industries making Jaboticabal one of the most important cities in agrobusiness around its region.
The municipality is located in one of the richest regions in São Paulo State, SE Brasil, responsible for approximately 8.5% of its gross domestic product (GDP).
In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo. In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.
The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).
Christianity is present in the city as follows:
The Catholic church in the municipality is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jaboticabal.
The most diverse evangelical beliefs are present in the city, mainly Pentecostal, including the Assemblies of God in Brazil (the largest evangelical church in the country), Christian Congregation in Brazil, among others. These denominations are growing more and more throughout Brazil.
Plinia spirito-santensis

Plinia spirito-santensis, commonly known as jabuticaba peluda de cruz (hairy cross jaboticaba) or Grimal in the United States, is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to broad-leafed coastal forests, at altitude, in eastern Brazil. The plant is a semideciduous shrub or small tree which can grow to between 3 and 6 metres tall. It produces edible deep reddish-purple berries, up to 30mm in diameter. At the apex of the fruit there is a small cross, from which the name derives.
In the US, this species is commonly named after Adolf Grimal, who collected this variety in South America and introduced it to Florida.
Astringent

An astringent (sometimes called adstringent) is a chemical that shrinks or constricts body tissues. The word derives from the Latin adstringere, which means "to bind fast". Astringency, the dry, puckering or numbing mouthfeel caused by the tannins in unripe fruits, lets the fruit mature by deterring eating. Tannins, being a kind of polyphenol, bind salivary proteins and make them precipitate and aggregate, producing a rough, "sandpapery", or dry sensation in the mouth.
Smoking tobacco is also reported to have an astringent effect.
In a scientific study, astringency was still detectable by subjects who had local anesthesia applied to their taste nerves, but not when both these and the trigeminal nerves were disabled.
In medicine, astringents cause constriction or contraction of mucous membranes and exposed tissues and are often used internally to reduce discharge of blood serum and mucous secretions. This can happen with a sore throat, hemorrhages, diarrhea, and peptic ulcers. Externally applied astringents, which cause mild coagulation of skin proteins, dry, harden, and protect the skin. People with acne are often advised to use astringents if they have oily skin. Mild astringents relieve such minor skin irritations as those resulting from superficial cuts; allergies; insect bites; anal hemorrhoids; and fungal infections such as athlete's foot. Redness-reducing eye drops contain an astringent. Use of Goulard's Extract has been discontinued due to lead poisoning.
Some common astringents are alum, acacia, sage, yarrow, witch hazel, bayberry, distilled vinegar, very cold water, and rubbing alcohol. Astringent preparations include silver nitrate, potassium permanganate, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, Burow's solution, tincture of benzoin, and such vegetable substances as tannic and gallic acids. Balaustines are the red rose-like flowers of the pomegranate, which are very bitter to the taste. In medicine, their dried form has been used as an astringent. Some metal salts and acids have also been used as astringents.
Calamine lotion, witch hazel, and yerba mansa, are astringents, as are the powdered leaves of the myrtle. Ripe fruits and fruit parts including blackthorn (sloe berries), Aronia chokeberry, chokecherry, bird cherry, rhubarb, quince, jabuticaba and persimmon fruits (especially when unripe), banana skins (or unripe bananas), cashew fruits and acorns are astringent. Citrus fruits, like lemons, are somewhat astringent. The tannins in some teas, coffee, and red grape wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot produce mild astringency. Astringency is used in classifications of white wine.
List of organisms with names derived from Indigenous languages of the Americas

This list includes organisms whose common or scientific names are drawn from indigenous languages of the Americas. When the common name of the organism in English derives from an indigenous language of the Americas, it is given first.
In biological nomenclature, organisms receive scientific names, which are formally in Latin, but may be drawn from any language and many have incorporated words from indigenous language of the Americas. These scientific names are generally formally published in peer-reviewed journal articles or larger monographs along with descriptions of the named taxa and ways to distinguish them from other taxa.
Cuisine of Pará

Pará cuisine refers to the traditional cuisine native to Pará, Brazil. Foods from this region primarily draw influence from Indian, African, and Portuguese cultures. The core ingredients are sourced from the Amazon jungle, and may include meats such as shrimp, crab, seafood, fish, poultry, bush meat, and duck; these are all cooked with leaves (such as maniva, chicory, coriander), peppers, and herbs. Dishes are cooked in clay pots or barbecued in moquéns (wrapped in leaves and roasted) and soaked in tucupi, a yellow sauce extracted from wild manioc root native to the Amazon. Dishes may be served in bowls, in containers of clay, wrapped in cocoons of banana leaves, or in urupemas (vegetable fiber sifters).
Withdrawals of cassava flour, the most, appreciated is the manioc flour. Previously, flour water would amount to a wheat bread; a dry flour to a piece of bread, with Carimã would be made porridges and with tapioca, makeup beijus, also known as “tapioca” or “tapioquinha” they have the form like a pancake and can take several types of fillings like chocolate, various types of cheese, jelly (best known as “candy”) as the cupuassu for example, with the most common way of eating tapioquinha is with butter or coconut only. Tapioquinha is often consumed as breakfast or afternoon snack, usually accompanied by coffee with milk. It can be found in simple establishments, strollers, snack bars and there are tapioca houses; snack bars that only sell tapioca with all kinds of fillings. There is also tucupi, a yellow soup extracted from cassava. It is either accompanied by meat, fish, seafood or pure, almost boiling, with or without jambu. Initially, cassava and its derivates were only consumed by the poor and Indian people, but over time it has become indispensable at the table of all Pará families.
Desserts in Pará are mainly fruits from the Amazon and liqueurs. Fruits that are part of the regional cuisine are açaí, cupuaçu, peach, guarana and mango, easily found on any street in the state capital. The Cupuacu cream is made of condensed milk, a cream made of milk and Cupuaçu (sugar is optional). After putting all the ingredients in the blender and mixing them, the Cupuaçu cream is taken to the freezer. The cupuaçu's cream is also used as frosting. Other regional fruits are bacuri, plum, jackfruit, muruci and the sapodilla.
Mincemeat

Mincemeat is a mixture of chopped apples and dried fruit, distilled spirits or vinegar, spices, and optionally, meat and beef suet. Mincemeat is usually used as a pie or pastry filling. Traditional mincemeat recipes contain meat, notably beef or venison, as this was a way of preserving meat prior to modern preservation methods. Modern recipes often replace the suet with vegetable shortening or other oils (e.g., coconut oil) and/or omit the meat. However, many people continue to prepare and serve the traditional meat-based mincemeat for holidays.
The "mince" in mincemeat comes from the Middle English mincen, and the Old French mincier both traceable to the Vulgar Latin minutiare, meaning chop finely. The word mincemeat is an adaptation of an earlier term minced meat, meaning finely chopped meat. Meat was also a term for food in general, not only animal flesh.
English recipes from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries describe a fermented mixture of meat and fruit used as a pie filling. These early recipes included vinegars and wines, but by the 18th century, distilled spirits, frequently brandy, were often substituted. The use of spices like clove, nutmeg, mace and cinnamon was common in late medieval and renaissance meat dishes. The increase of sweetness from added sugar made mincemeat less a savoury dinner course and helped to direct its use toward desserts.
In the mid- to late eighteenth century, mincemeat in Europe had become associated with old-fashioned, rural, or homely foods. Victorian England rehabilitated the preparation as a traditional Yuletide treat.
By the late 19th century, "apple mincemeat" was recommended as a "hygienic" alternative, using apples, suet, currants, brown sugar, raisins, allspice, orange juice, lemons, mace and apple cider, but no meat.
A recipe for apple mincemeat appears in a 1910 issue of The Irish Times, made with apples, suet, currants, sugar, raisins, orange juice, lemons, spice and brandy.
There is also a similar recipe using green tomatoes instead of apples to create mincemeat in the 1970s book Putting Food By.
By the mid-twentieth century, most mincemeat recipes did not include meat, but might include animal fat in the form of suet or butter, or alternatively solid vegetable fats, making it vegan. Some recipes continue to include venison, minced beef sirloin or minced heart, along with dried fruit, spices, chopped apple, fresh citrus peel, Zante currants, candied fruits, citron, and brandy, rum, or other liquor. Mincemeat is aged to deepen flavours, with alcohol changing the overall texture of the mixture by breaking down the meat proteins. Preserved mincemeat may be stored for up to ten years.
Mincemeat can be produced at home. Commercial preparations, primarily without meat, packaged in jars, foil-lined boxes, or tins, are commonly available.
Mince pies and tarts are frequently consumed during the Christmas holiday season. In the northeast United States, mincemeat pies are also a traditional part of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Like other pies, mince pies are sometimes served with cheese, notably cheddar.
Sfumatura

The sfumatura or slow-folding process is a traditional technique for manually extracting the essential oils from citrus peel using sponges. Dating back to 18th-century Italy, the process is still carried out in Sicily today, although it is increasingly rare. Many controversially claim that modern machinery does not approach the quality of sfumatura-produced oil.
Using a rastrello, a special spoon-shaped knife, the fresh peel is de-pulped. It is then thoroughly washed with limewater and drip-dried on woven mats or special baskets for 3 to 24 hours, depending on the ripeness of the fruit, the temperature, and the humidity. These steps harden the peel, causing the oil to spurt from the oil glands more easily, and the lime helps neutralize the acidity of the peel.
A series of natural sponges is fixed upon a terracotta basin or concolina and held in place with a wooden bar laid across the rim. The dried peel is folded and pressed against the sponges several times in a circular motion, causing a mixture of essential oil and peel liquids to pass into the concolina. After finishing with the peel, the sponges are squeezed to recover additional oil and liquids. Finally, the oil is decanted away from the heavier watery phase, which contains detritus from breaking the peel.
Pulp and paper industry in the United States

The United States is one of the biggest paper consumers in the world. Between 1990 and 2002, paper consumption in the United States increased from 84.9 million tons to 97.3 million tons. In 2006, there were approximately 450 paper mills in the United States, accounting for $68 billion.
The top 10 forest and paper products companies in net sales in the United States in 2012 were:
Syzygium guineense

Syzygium guineense (Bambara: Kokisa) is an evergreen leafy forest tree of the family Myrtaceae, found in many parts of Africa both wild and domesticated. Both its fruits and leaves are edible; the pulp and the fruit skin are sucked and the seed discarded. It is sometimes called "waterberry", but this may also refer to other species of Syzygium.
Syzygium guineense can grow as a tree, a shrub, or a pyrophytic subshrub, depending on its habitat. As a tree its height is usually between 10 and 15 meters, but some specimens have been found as tall as 25 meters. The trunk is broad and fluted and the crown rounded and heavy, with a bark that is smooth when young, but becomes rough and black with age. The branches are dropping, the stems are thick and angular. The young leaves are purple-red in color, but as they mature their color becomes dark green; the leaves in general are shiny and smooth on both surfaces, with a tip that is long but rounded, on a short grooved stalk. The flowers of S. guineense have white, showy stamens, in dense branched heads 10 centimeters across, yielding a honey-sweet smell that attracts many insects.
Syzygium guineense ranges widely through sub-Saharan Africa, and is also present in the southwestern Arabian Peninsula.
It grows in a range of habitats, including lowland and montane forests, forest edges, woodlands, humid savannas, swamps, and mangrove edges, from sea level up to 2,500 meters elevation. It prefers moist soils with a high water table beside rivers, but will also grow in open woodland.
In southern Ethiopia S. guineense is a much-appreciated shade tree for both the homestead and the home garden. It is considered a famine food, eaten by subsistence farmers when their crops fail.
Syzygium guineense is a highly variable species, leading to debate concerning its taxonomy, including its subspecies. Frank White lists four subspecies: afromontanum, barotsense, guineense, and huillense, the last of which is a suffrutex. However, many other subspecies and varieties have been proposed. White identified three other subspecies – bamendae, obovatum, and occidentale – which Plants of the World Online considers a separate species, Syzygium staudtii.
List of liqueur brands

This is a list of liqueurs brands. Liqueurs are alcoholic beverages that are bottled with added sugar and have added flavours that are usually derived from fruits, herbs, or nuts. Liqueurs are distinct from eaux-de-vie, fruit brandy, and flavored liquors, which contain no added sugar. Most liqueurs range between 15% and 55% alcohol by volume.
A coffee liqueur is a caffeinated alcoholic drink with a coffee flavour.
Note: the exact recipes of many herbal liqueurs (which may contain 50 or more different herbs) are often closely guarded trade secrets. The primary herbal ingredients are listed where known.

Eugenia candolleana

Eugenia candolleana, or rainforest plum, is a tree native from Atlantic rainforest of Brazil, known locally by the Portuguese names cambuí roxo ('purple cambuí') or murtinha ('little myrtle'). It is quite rare in the wild, and has seen limited use in landscaping for its bright green foliage and purple-black fruits.
The species is named after the 19th-century Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. The common name cambuí means 'thin-branched tree' in Tupi-Guarani language, and is applied to over 100 different species.
The adult tree is 3–6 m (9.8–19.7 ft) tall, with rounded or conical canopy up to 2 m (6.6 ft) wide. New leaves are rusty-brown, turning yellow and then deep dark green. The reddish-brown bark peels off naturally showing a smooth reddish trunk. Leaves are simple, in opposite pairs, with smooth leathery texture, smooth edges, and the apex curved downwards.
Flowers are borne from November through January; they come in groups of 20 or more stalks, each bearing two flowers, sprouting from the base of leaf stalks.
Fruits mature between February and March. The ripe fruit is a round or slightly elongated berry, up to 20 mm (0.79 in) wide and 25 mm (0.98 in) long. It has a thin purple-black skin and a wet, firm, whitish pulp about 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) thick, surrounding a loose single (rarely double) seed. It is edible, moderately sweet, with an aroma similar to (but less intense than) that of the jabuticaba.
The tree can be propagated from seeds, is easy to grow and bears fruit after two years. It thrives best in full sunlight and requires good irrigation during the flowering and fruiting seasons.
The fruit are consumed fresh or made into jams. In the folk medicine of the region of Sergipe, the infusion of leaves has been used for the treatment of pain and fever. The essential oil distilled from the leaves (green 0.14% by weight) contains isomers of guaiol and cadinol, δ-elemene and viridiflorene.
