Arroz chaufa

El arroz chaufa​ o simplemente chaufa,​ es un tipo de arroz frito consumido en Perú. Forma parte del estilo gastronómico tusán,​ siendo parte de la cual se denomina como cocina chifa.​ Es el plato más representativo de esta cocina.
Consiste en un arroz frito con verduras, que generalmente incluye cebolletas, huevos y una proteína, cocinado rápidamente a fuego alto, a menudo en un wok y aderezado con salsa de soja y aceite.​ Se deriva de la cocina china cantonesa debido a la afluencia de inmigrantes chinos al Perú a finales del siglo XIX.​ La persona especializada en la elaboración del arroz chaufa recibe el nombre de «chaufero».​
La preparación llegó a manos de la inmigración china de mediados del siglo XIX en Perú, procedentes en su mayoría de la provincia de Cantón. Estos trabajadores, denominados culíes, tuvieron un régimen laboral de semiesclavitud, y fueron los primeros en preparar el arroz chaufa con las sobras de los ingredientes principales en los restaurantes.​​
La primera referencia escrita que se ha encontrado es una receta publicada en la revista Oriental en el año 1935.​
La palabra "chaufa" proviene de la palabra china "chaofan" (chino simplificado: 炒饭, chino tradicional: 炒飯, pinyin: chǎofàn, cantonés: Cháau Faahn), literalmente 'arroz frito (revuelto)'.​
Además del arroz, un ingrediente común a la mayoría de arroz chaufa es el Allium fistulosum, conocido como 'cebollita china' en español. Es posible adaptar la receta con otros granos como la quinua y el trigo.​ Hay distintas variedades del arroz chaufa, dependiendo de las carnes que se le añaden o del acompañamiento: chaufa de pollo, de carne de res, combinado de arroz chaufa con tallarín saltado, de chancho, aeropuerto, salvaje, de pato, de charqui, de cecina selvática, de langostinos, de mariscos,​ con pescado,​ de caimán, lagarto,​ chaufa especial, entre otros.
También existe otros estilos como el de sangrecita o amazónico, este último contiene cecina, chorizo y plátano.​
El plato se acompaña con sillao y/o crema de ají.​ Cuando se acompaña con tallarín saltado en un solo plato servido de forma generosa se le denomina "combinado", y si el arroz chaufa se mezcla con frijol chino se le conoce como «aeropuerto».​ El acompañamiento con el pollo a la brasa se nombra «mostrito».​
Salsa romántica

Salsa romántica (Spanish of 'romantic salsa') is a soft form of salsa music that emerged between the mid-1980s and early 1990s in New York City, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. It has been criticised for it being supposedly a pale imitation of "real" salsa, often called "salsa dura".
The genre was introduced by La Palabra, a Cuban musician, in the mid-1980s. It arose at a time when classic salsa, popularized by Fania Records, was growing on the Latin record charts, including the rise of Latin pop. Salsa romántica was an adaptation of melodic love songs to a smooth, light salsa backing. The style sprang from a single album, Noches Calientes, created in 1984 by Fania producer Luis Ramirez.
Young salseros such as Lalo Rodriguez and the Puerto Rican Eddie Santiago were creating salsa with frothy songs and suggestive lyrics. Salsa romántica uses softer, quieter orchestral sounds, ballads set to a slowed-down salsa rhythm and romantic lyrics. Due to the softer orchestration and leisurely rhythm, some have nicknamed this genre "limp salsa".
Salsa romántica was heavily influenced by the balada style (or pop style) of salsa and is widely criticized due to the simple compositional style of both types. Salsa romántica has been considered to be an imitation of classic salsa. In Cuba, some critics refer to salsa romántica as the "white" style to differentiate it from traditional salsa. Critics have also stated that "true salsa" involved intricate composition. Critics of salsa romántica, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s, called it a "commercialized, watered-down" form of Latin pop, in which formulaic, sentimental love ballads were simply put to an Afro-Cuban beat.
Jerry Rivera was the first salsero to go triple platinum with his record Cuenta Conmigo (Count on Me), which was all salsa romántica. La India, Luis Enrique, Giro Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Víctor Manuelle are some of the best-known performers of salsa romántica. Marc Anthony has been the highest-selling salsa artist of the past two decades. Another salsa artist, Omar Alfano, was handheld into a business by salsa dura songwriter Johnny Ortiz.
Salsa dura

Salsa dura, also known as salsa brava or salsa gorda, is a style of salsa music developed in the 1970s with an emphasis on the instrumental part of the music (piano, bass, horns, percussion, etc.) over the lead vocals. The genre originated in New York City where large ensembles such as Fania All-Stars adapted the salsa genre to a descarga format. Modern salsa dura bands include Orquesta SCC, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Wayne Gorbea, Oscar D'Leon, Edwin Perez (singer), Jimmy Bosch, La Maxima 79, Tromboranga, and Orquesta La 33. The term is often used in contrast to salsa romántica, the Latin pop-oriented subgenre of salsa that has predominated since the late 1980s.
MasterChef Australia series 15

The fifteenth series of the Australian cooking game show MasterChef Australia premiered on 7 May 2023 on Network 10 and concluded on 16 July 2023.
The series was originally announced at Paramount's and Network 10's upfronts in October 2022. Subtitled Secrets & Surprises, the season featured 18 contestants, with 17 new to the show. Andy Allen, Melissa Leong, and Jock Zonfrillo returned to the show as judges from the previous season. The series was originally scheduled to premiere on 1 May 2023. However, following Zonfrillo's death on 30 April, the premiere was postponed until 7 May. Filming of the season had been completed in March 2023 and was thus unaffected by the death of Zonfrillo. The premiere was preceded by a special edition of The Sunday Project that paid tribute to Zonfrillo.
The series was won by Brent Draper, who previously appeared in series 13 but withdrew for mental health reasons.
Compared to previous seasons, series 15 featured 18 contestants instead of the typical 24. Like the previous season, the season omitted the broadcast of the audition stage.
Subtitled Secrets & Surprises, this season saw a secret or surprise revealed to the contestants in every episode. One example was the introduction of a surprise "second chance apron", which was won by the winner of the first challenge in the season and kept secret from the rest of the contestants; it allowed the contestant to come back from elimination and compete for re-entry at the next elimination challenge.
Weekly immunity challenge winners had a chance to win an immunity pin by winning a cook-off against a professional chef. The winner was determined with a blind tasting by the judges, while Shannon Bennett mentored the contestants.
This was the first season not to feature any MasterClasses.
The full cast was announced on 23 April 2023. Former contestant Brent Draper, who withdrew from series 13 citing mental health concerns, returned as a contestant for the season.

Steckerlfisch

Steckerlfisch ("steckerl" means "small stick" or "pole" in the Bavarian dialect) is a fish grilled on a stick in the traditional way of a fisherman or camper. It is considered a speciality of Austria, Bavaria, and Franconia. The dish is commonly served in beer garden and on folk festivals and is unrelated to the dried stockfish.
Traditionally, steckerlfisch is prepared from local fish like coregonus or whitefish like common bream, but nowadays trout, char or mackerel are also used.
Steckerlfisch is a very popular meal at the Munich Oktoberfest. It was the Oktoberfest which made the dish popular. A local fish merchant introduced steckerlfisch to the fair in the early part of the 20th century.
The whole gutted fish are marinated in a hearty mixture of oil, spices and garlic and skewered on sticks of about 60 cm length. The sticks are then fixed in a way that the fish are positioned upside-down and angular next to the embers. During the process of grilling they are brushed a few times with the marinade so that the skin becomes crispy.
The steckerlfisch is eaten on the paper in which it is wrapped after being grilled and served on a plate. Common side dishes are bread roll or pretzels.

According to some manuscripts of Ethiopian Orthodox, the piece of True Cross was brought by Emperor Zara Yaqob with whom Jesus crucified to "Gishen Amba" and buried under the church of God. The church is known for receiving mass pilgrimages per year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010, the monastery received 350,000–500,000 pilgrims and tourists per each year.
Gishen Mariam is located 483 kilometers north of Addis Ababa in South Wollo Zone, and 3,019 meters above sea level in Ambassel woreda. It has an area of 26 hectares, and lies on mountainous region surrounded by hills.

The church was founded in the 5th century by Aksumite ruler Kaleb with auspice of Nine Saints and has unique features, such as the fragment of the Original True Cross buried underneath the church. Gishen was masculine monastery until the reign of Emperor Yekuno Amlak who built Saint Mary Church in order to access Gishen for both sexes.

John Lambert (martyr)

John Lambert (died 1538) was an English Protestant martyr burnt to death on 22 November 1538 at Smithfield, London.
Lambert was born John Nicholson in Norwich and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he became a friend and a colleague of Thomas Cromwell. He was made a fellow there on the nomination of Catherine of Aragon. After theological disputes he changed his name and went to Antwerp, where he served as priest to the English factory. Here he became friends with John Frith and William Tyndale, and became a member of the group of humanist theologians that met at the White Horse Tavern—a group that included Edward Fox and Robert Barnes, and the arch-conservative Stephen Gardiner.
Upon his return in 1533, Lambert came under the scrutiny of Archbishop William Warham, but Warham died in 1532. Lambert then earned his living teaching Greek and Latin near the Stock markets. In 1536 he was accused of heresy by the Duke of Norfolk, but escaped until 1538, when he was put on trial for denying the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine of the Eucharist, the doctrine of transubstantiation. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer condemned these views, even though he was later to adopt them himself.
Lambert was eventually burned at the stake, whilst Thomas Cromwell happily watched and cheered for the duration. Lambert is well known for his words spoken while the flames leapt from his raised hands: "None but Christ, none but Christ!"
Ben Price portrayed Lambert in season 3 of Showtime's television show The Tudors. Tim Scragg played Lambert in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.
Martyrs' Monument, Beirut

Martyrs' Monument was built to honor the hanging of a cross-confessional group of Lebanese Patriots on May 6, 1916, who had spoken against Turkish rule by Ottoman General Jamal Pasha. It is located at what is now known as Martyrs' Square in the heart of downtown Beirut, Lebanon. It was created by Italian sculptor Marino Mazzacurati, and inaugurated in 1960.
In 1930, during the French Mandate, the first commemorative sculpture was erected on the square in memory of Lebanese nationalists who were hanged during World War I by the order of Ottoman military ruler Djemal Pasha. The original monument (right) by Youssef Hoyek represented two women, a Muslim and a Christian, holding hands in a symbolic gesture over an urn that represented their martyred children' ashes. Hoyek carved on their chests stylized shahada (لا إله إلا الله) and a small cross respectively.
In 1956, President Camille Chamoun laid the foundation stone of a monument. It would have consisted of an arch soaring over an obelisk, but the monument was never completed.
The current four-meter-high statue of the Martyrs that adorns the square was created by Italian artist Marino Mazzacurati and cast at Ahmad & Saeddine Abbas Foundry in the Saifi district. It was inaugurated by President Fouad Chehab in 1960.
Due to damage inflicted during the Civil War (1975-1990), the Martyrs’ monument was dismantled in 1996 and restored by the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik. The restoration intentionally preserved the marks of the war damage.

September Celebrations

The September Celebrations are a pair of holidays in Belize only eleven days apart. They are:
A calendar of activities has traditionally been held every year centred on both events. Annual traditions such as the Queen of the Bay pageant, concerts and talent shows, the Citizens Parade on the Tenth and Uniform Parade on the 21st and Carnival (traditionally held on the middle Saturday but has been held on other days) add to the Celebrations.
In 2007, September Celebrations began on 31 August and concluded on 22 September with a postponed Carnival (it had been postponed for two weeks due to Hurricanes Dean and Felix).
The National Celebration Commission selects a theme for each year's celebrations. In 2018, it was "Belize Da Fi Wi – Now & Forever, 8867".
Illuminated procession

An illuminated procession is a procession held after dark so that lights carried by the participants form a spectacle. The lights will commonly be of the same type, so making a candlelight procession, lantern parade or torchlight march.
Examples include the Christmas festival of Ndocciata in Italy; the Chinese Lantern Festival to celebrate the first full moon; and the daily procession of pilgrims to the grotto of Lourdes.
Torchlight processions were known already in Ancient Greece where it was connected with Ancient Greek religion. Until today they are part modern adaptations of Dionysia festival in Greece and elsewhere.
Before the American Civil War in the U.S., illuminated processions were held to promote political parties. That includes mass torch light processions in 1858 at Hartford Connecticut, the Republican Party in New York City in 1860 and in Galesburg, Illinois in 1884.
Snowshoe tramps by torchlight have been held in Montreal since 1873. Processions of skiers holding torches or flares while skiing down a slope at night has been a scheduled event of winter festivals since at least 1903.
The Far-right and Nationalist groups have had a long history of torchlight marches.
During the 1930s Nazi Germany in some of its Nuremberg rallies used torchlight marches.
On 1 January 2014, Stepan Bandera's 105th birthday was celebrated by a torchlight procession of 15,000 people in the centre of Kyiv and thousands more rallied near his statue in Lviv. The march was supported by the far-right Svoboda party and some members of the center-right Batkivshchyna.
In 2017, During the Unite the Right rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia. a group of white nationalists – variously numbered from "dozens" to "about 250" – gathered for an unannounced (and unsanctioned by the city) march through the University of Virginia's campus. They marched towards the university's Lawn chanting Nazi and white supremacist slogans, including "White lives matter"; "You will not replace us"; and "Jews will not replace us". (The phrase "You will not replace us" has been reported by the Anti-Defamation League to "reflect the white supremacist world view that ... the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged 'rising tide of color' purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews".) The Nazi slogan "Blood and Soil" was also used. The group was primarily composed of white men, many of them wielding tiki torches.
In Estonia Conservative People's Party of Estonia The party's affiliated nationalist youth movement Blue Awakening is the main organizer of the annual torchlight march through Tallinn on 24 February, Independence Day of Estonia. The first Independence Day torchlight march was held in 2014. According to Blue Awakening, the torchlight march is meant to honor those who have fallen for the nation of Estonia and to signify that Estonian youth have not abandoned the nationalist principles. The event has been harshly criticized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center that described it as "Nuremberg-esque" and likened the ideology of the participants to that of the Estonian nazi collaborators.
Independence Day (Latvia)

Latvia's Independence Day, officially known as the Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia, is celebrated annually on 18 November in Latvia. It marks the anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence of Latvia by the People's Council of Latvia in 1918.
Various public events take place all over the country, including concerts and fireworks. Torchlight processions held by various organizations have been part of Proclamation Day celebrations and Lāčplēsis Day celebrations since the 1920s. The largest torchlight procession organized by the National Alliance takes place in the capital city Riga and attracts thousands of participants every year. Its route through the streets of the city centre traditionally starts at the monument of Kārlis Ulmanis, the first prime minister of Latvia, and ends at the Freedom Monument. A popular modern tradition established in 2009, is for people all over the world to sing the Latvian national anthem Dievs, svētī Latviju! at the same time (21:00 EET).
Another tradition with a long history is the Latvian National Armed Forces parade, which nowadays is held at 11 November Embankment in Riga and was reintroduced in 1998. After the restoration of the independence, the first parade of the National Armed Forces took place in Riga at the Freedom Monument in 1993, which was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Latvian state. The parade was also broadcast on Latvian Television. In 1998, the national holiday parade was held for the first time on 11. novembra krastmala (11 November Embankment). The limited and small area near the Freedom Monument was mentioned as the main reason for the change of the parade venue, as it did not allow the demonstration of all types of units of the National Armed Forces, as well as heavy weapons and military equipment. In 1998, armed formations of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior, as well as a company from the peacekeeping Baltic Battalion (LATBAT), stood in the parade dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the proclamation of Latvia. For the first time, the Navy ships, which were anchored in the Daugava opposite the embankment, took part in the parade. There was also the introduction of a 21-gun salute from cannons fired from the Ballast Dam with 100 mm anti-tank cannons by soldiers of the Artillery Division of the Mobile Rifle Brigade. For the first time, the staff of all five National Guard brigades also took part in the National Day parade and the Jaunsardze ('Youth Guard') of Kazdanga Agricultural Technical School marched as the closing unit. Since Latvia joined NATO in 2004, allied partner countries have participated in the parade.
Jazz Appreciation Month

Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) is a music festival held every April in Canada and the United States, in honor of jazz as an early American art form. JAM was created in 2001 by John Edward Hasse, curator of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. It became a national extension of the original Jazz Awareness Month created by the Louisiana Jazz Federation in New Orleans in 1980.
Jazz Appreciation Month was created to be an annual event that would pay tribute to jazz as both a living and as a historic music. Schools, organizations, and governments celebrate JAM with free concerts and educational programs. Its first year was 2001, with funding provided by the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, which continues to support JAM every year.
JAM culminates with the international celebration of International Jazz Day on April 30.
In 2012, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings obtained permission from the Louis Armstrong estate to release the recordings on the album Satchmo at the National Press Club: Red Beans and Rice-ly Yours and timed the release as part of the annual Jazz Appreciation Month.
In 2018 JAM celebrated the relationship between jazz and justice. The featured artist was Norman Granz.

Msimbo wa posta

Msimbo wa posta (pia postikodi) (ing. post code, ZIP au PIN) ni ufutanao wa tarakimu au herufi unaotaja eneo ambako barua inatakiwa kufikishwa.
Siku hizi posta za nchi nyingi za dunia hutumia misimbo hii. Kusudi lake ni kurahisisha kazi ya kuchambua na kutenganisha barua zinazopokelewa kufuatana na mahali zinapotumwa. Si lazima tena mfanyakazi wa posta ajue mahali pengi inatosha kugawa barua kufuatana na misimbo iliyoandikwa kwenye bahasha. Kwa hiyo misimbo hupangwa kufuatana na utaratibu wa kugawa na kusafirisha barua.
Kwa matumizi ya teknolojia ya kisasa kuna pia mashine zinazochambua barua zikitambua namba kwenye bahasha.
Nchi zilizo nyingi hutumia tarakimu pekee katika msimbo wa posta. Nchi zifuatazo huunganisha herufi na tarakimu: Argentina, Bermuda, Brunei, Kanada, Jamaika, Malta, Uholanzi, Ufalme wa Maungano (=Uingereza) na Venezuela.
Katika Kenya na Tanzania kuna mfumo wa msimbo wa posta mwenye tarakimu tano. (Tazama pia Mfumo wa Msimbo wa Posta Tanzania na Mfumo wa Msimbo wa Posta Kenya)
Kwa mfano barua kwa mteja huko Nairobi-Westlands awe na msimbo wa posta 00800, halafu jina na namba ya sanduku la posta; kwa mteja huko Ololulunga katika Bonde la Ufa msimbo ni 20503.
Vivyo hivyo katika Tanzania barua kwenda Kashaulili huko Mpanda katika Mkoa wa Katavi iwe na msimbo 50106; mfanyakazi hahitaji kukumbuka jina na kata hii inatosha akiona msimbo uananza kwa tarakimu 5 ataweka bahasha katika kikapu cha Katavi.
International School of Kenya

International School of Kenya ni shule ya kimataifa inayofunza wanafunzi kuanzia darasa la chekechea hadi darasa la 12. Shule hii iko nje ya jiji la Nairobi, Kenya. Ilianzishwa mwaka wa 1976 iliyojengwa katika uwanja wa hekta 25. Wanafunzi wanaweza kusomea mfumo wa elimu wa diploma ya Amerika ya Kaskazini au diploma ya International Baccalaureate. Shule hii inatambulika na MSA, na ni shule kubwa zaidi ya kimataifa mjini Nairobi. Shule hii pia ni mwanachama wa Chama cha Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA).
Shule hii ilianzishwa kutoka Nairobi International School (NIS) mnamo 1969, lakini matatizo ya kifedha iliilazimu Ubalozi wa Marekani na Ubalozi wa Kanada kuchukua uendeshaji wa shule hii mwaka wa 1976, na kuibadilisha jina kuwa Intrnational School of Kenya. ISK, kama inavyojulikana, imegawanywa katika shule tatu: ya Shule ya Msingi inayofundisha wanafunzi kutoka chekechea hadi darasa la 5, Shule ya Kati inayofundisha darasa 6-8, na Shule ya Upili inayofundisha darasa za 9-12.
Kila shule ina mwalimu wake mkuu na mshauri, na kwa kiasi kikubwa ina walimu wake, ingawa baadhi ya masomo hufundishwa na walimu sawiya. Walimu ni wengi hutoka Kanada, Marekani na Uingereza, na hata nchi nyinginezo.
Kila shule ina madarasa yake na na vyumba vya burudani; hata hivyo shule zote tatu hutumia vifaa vingine kwa pamoja kama vile maktaba, mkahawa, na vifaa vya michezo na sanaa. Kituo chake cha Sanaa kilicho na thamani ya dola milioni nyingi inayosifika kuwa kituo bora zaidi mjini Nairobi. Shule hii ina chumba kikubwa cha kufanyia mazoezi, bwawa la kuogelea lenye maji ya moto, na viwanja tele vya kucheza. Mwaka wa 2006, mradi wa ujenzi ulianza ili ya kupanua shule ya sekondari. Ilmalizwa kujengwa mnamo Desemba 2007, na wanafunzi waligurishwa mwezi uliofwatia.
Shule hii pia inajulikana kwa michezo yake kama mpira wa kikapu, kriketi, mpira wa kandanda, voliboli, na kuogelea. Kila mwaka, wanafunzi wa shule ya sekondari hushiriki katika mashindano ya kimataifa ya ISSEA kwenye michezo ya mpira wa kikapu, kandanda, na voliboli.
Shule hii iko nje ya jiji la Nairobi mwishoni mwa barabara ya Peponi na imezungukwa na mashamba ya kahawa. Hata hivyo, ujenzi unaoendelea inaweza kubadili maeneo jirani.
Chama cha wanafunzi ina zaidi ya wanafunzi 700 ikiwakilisha mataifa 74 tofauti. Zaidi ya robo ni Wamarekani, na wengineo wakitoka nchini Kenya, Uingereza, Kanada, Sweden na Uholanzi.
Mbegu maarufu ni kama: Dan Eldon (mpiga picha maarufu aliyeuwawa katika mgogoro wa Somalia mnamo 1993). Wahitimu wa shule hii wamewahi kujiunga na vyuo vikuu maarufu nchini Marekani (kama chuo kikuu cha Ivy League), Kanada, Uingereza, Australia, Afrika ya Kusini na Chama cha Umoja wa Ulaya.

Lundazi

Lundazi is a town in the Eastern Province of Zambia, lying near the border with Malawi, around 116 mi (187 km) north of Chipata. Lundazi is known as a "Boma" or administrative centre (boma derives from the Swahili word for a thorn fence, built to protect livestock or travelers' camps). It was a former colonial headquarters. Lundazi is the seat for Lundazi District. It is perched high above the eastern side of the Luangwa Valley, and close to a quiet border crossing (the Mqocha/Mtyocha Border) to Malawi.
It has an airstrip, schools and a hotel in the form of a Norman castle. The building of the castle was begun in 1948 by the Kenyan born District Commissioner Errol Lancelot Button (1913-1991), who reputedly sketched out its design on the back of a cigarette packet. The castle overlooked a swamp where the Lundazi and Msuzi Rivers met, which Button dammed using soil carried to the site in grass baskets. The dam now supplies Lundazi's water and used to be home to several hippos.
The town also has a district hospital, a post office, two banks, two filling stations, a market, and some small shops.
Lundazi's local political system is made up of 25 wards and 11 chiefdoms. Each ward is represented by an elected councillor and the 11 chiefdoms by two representative councillors in the Lundazi District Council.
The spoken language is Tumbuka. The main source of income is agriculture and trading. Most of the traders are Zambians of Asian origin. Lundazi has a popular name 'Box One Kanele' (apparently a corruption of 'Colonel').
Lundazi features a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) with clear wet and dry seasons. October and November are the hottest months, while winters are milder, with July being the coolest month. The wet season, from November to March, experiences significant rainfall, whereas the dry season, from May to October, is marked by minimal precipitation.

Janet Nkubana

Janet Nkubana is a basket weaver from Rwanda. She is known for her work coordinating the efforts of women in Rwanda to make baskets that are sold in the United States.
Nkubana grew up in a refugee camp in Uganda because of the Rwandan genocide. She was first exposed to basket weaving in the refugee camp, watching her mother and other women make baskets. As she grew older, Nkubana and her sister Joy Ndungutse ran a restaurant in the capital city of Uganda, Kampala. Nkubana then ran a hotel in the capital city of Rwanda, Kigali. Nkubana had a background in art and remembers seeing her mother and other women in her community weaving when she was young.
Janet Nkubana is the creator of a company called "Gahaya Links" along with her sister Joy Ndungutse. The company was created in 2003 and incorporated in 2004. They hired women who had been widowed during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. She began selling these baskets at flea markets and began exporting them to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the United States. Gahaya Links partnered with EDImports to create baskets for the U.S.A. market. In 2004 Gahaya Links made 12,000 baskets for markets in the United States and sales totaled more than $50,000 USD. In 2005 "Gahaya Links" connected with Willa Shalit to form a partnership with the retail store Macy's. The first shipment of product sold out in less than a month in Macy's stores.
As of 2012, Nkubana employed more than 4000 women working in making baskets. Some call the baskets made by Nkubana's company 'peace baskets' because the women making the baskets come from tribes that were at war in the 1994 genocide.
In 2008, Nkubana shared the Africa Prize for Leadership for the Sustainable End of Hunger with Faiza Jama Mohamed. She was the 2008 Africa Prize laureate.

The Truth (Lefebvre)

The Truth is an 1870 oil-on-canvas painting by the French painter Jules Joseph Lefebvre. It is in the Musée d'Orsay, in Paris, since 1982.
The Truth was exhibited during the 1870 Salon and was bought by the French state in 1871.
The painting depicts a naked woman standing, facing the viewers. Her right hand extends above her head, holding a golden mirror, her left hand seems to be holding a stick or staff, and her right leg is bent, shifting weight onto her left hip.
The model for the painting was the well-known French actress Sophie Croizette [fr]. Although her career was primarily in theater, Croizette also modeled for several artists, most notably including her brother-in-law Carolus-Duran's Equestrian Portrait of Mademoiselle Croizette.
The painting is contemporary with the first small scale model made by Lefebvre's fellow-Frenchman Frédéric Bartholdi for what became the Statue of Liberty, striking a similar pose, though fully clothed.
Jeffrey Gale

Jeffrey Gale (born April 14, 1952 Huntington, New York) is an American craftsman, known for his white-ash basketry. His work is found in private collections and in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery. His craft derives both from research into past techniques and from his own innovations that build on tradition.
Gale maintains a workshop in Strafford, Vermont, where he harvests the wood for his craft from his own land. He typically harvests one or two ash trees, a year. He picks trees that grow straight, owing to competition with others in the forest. Among contemporary basketmakers, he is the only one who works with a tree that he has harvested, himself.
He makes his baskets from white ash, which he splits into "billets" (lengths of wood with a rectangular cross section), using a froe, a wedge, and a mallet. He then shapes the billets into "splints" (flat pieces of wood), trimmed to a desired thickness for weaving as a basket. He makes the splints on a shaving horse, which allows him to hold the billet in place as he shapes it to the desired size with a drawknife. After being separated from each other by striking the end of the billet with a mallet, the splints may be as thin as the thickness of the growth ring of the source tree. He steams the splints to make them pliable. Gale uses no power tools in the process.
Seven of his baskets are included in the Cole-Ware Collection of American Baskets at the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery. They were displayed with 98 other baskets as part of the museum's "Measure of the Earth" exhibition of 63 contemporary basketmakers, who have revived traditional basket making. All the featured baskets were from natural materials harvested in nature by their makers.
Gale apprenticed with an Adirondack pack basket maker, using oak, and started his business in 1982 as a basket maker. Two books by Eric Sloane, Sketches of America Past and A Reverence for Wood, inspired him to take up the craft. His contemporary white-ash basketry derives primarily from early New England techniques, but incorporates his own methods and designs.
Shravana Kumara

Shravana Kumara (Sanskrit: श्रवण कुमार) is a character mentioned in the ancient Hindu text Ramayana. He is best known for his filial piety towards his parents. He was killed accidentally by King Dasharatha.
Shravana Kumara's parents, Shantanu and Gyanvanti (Malaya), were hermits. They were both blind. When they became aged, Shravana wanted to take them to the four most sacred places of Hindu pilgrimage to purify the soul. Since Shravana Kumara could not afford the transport, he decided to put each parent in a basket and tie each basket to an end of a bamboo pole, which he would carry on his shoulder while on their pilgrimage.
According to Punjabi folklore, Shravana's mother was distantly related to King Dasharatha.
According to the Ramayana, while hunting in the forest of Ayodhya, King Dasharatha heard a sound near a lake and shot an arrow, hoping to hit an animal. When he crossed the lake to collect his kill, he found that his arrow had fatally struck a teenage boy who was bleeding. The injured boy was Shravana, who then told Dasharatha he had come to the lake to collect water for his sick and aged parents, who were both blind and whom he had been carrying on a sling. With his dying breath, Shravana requested Dasharatha to take water to his parents and to tell them what happened.
Shravana then succumbed to his wounds. When Dasharatha took water for his parents and told them of his tragic mistake, they were unable to bear the shock. Despite acknowledging that it was an accident, they cursed Dasharatha that he too would experience 'Putrashoka' (Sanskrit, 'putra' is child/son and 'shoka' is sorrow, or grief; grief due to loss of a son). Thus, Shravana's sick and thirsty parents died without drinking water.
This curse came true when King Dasharatha died without seeing his eldest and most beloved son, Rama, who had to be exiled at the former's own orders (upon the wishes of the latter's step-mother, queen Kaikeyi).
Local tradition holds that the place where Shravana died was named 'Sarvan Paakar' in Gonda District of Uttar Pradesh in India, and the spot where Dasharatha shot his arrow came to be known as 'Sarwara' and the place where Shravana's parents died is called 'Saravan Paakar'
Mukhed in Nanded district of Maharashtra has a samadhi dedicated to Shravana.

Selain itu, ayam gaya Korea tidak dikarakterisasi dengan kulit yang garing dan berkerak seperti pada ayam goreng Amerika seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Julia Moskin dari The New York Times sebagai "tipis, serak dan hampir transparan". Ayam biasanya dibumbui dengan rempah-rempah, gula, dan garam, sebelum dan setelah digoreng. Restoran ayam goreng Korea biasanya menggunakan ayam yang berukuran kecil atau menengah, dengan kata lain, ayam yang masih muda sehingga dagingnya lebih empuk. Acar lobak, bir, dan soju sering disajikan dengan ayam goreng Korea.
