Ripstop

Ripstop is a woven fabric, often made of nylon, using a reinforcing technique that makes it more resistant to tearing and wear. During weaving, stronger (and often thicker) reinforcement yarns are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. The intervals are typically 5 to 8 millimeters (0.2 to 0.3 in). Thin and lightweight ripstop fabrics have a two-dimensional structure due to the thicker yarns being interwoven in thinner cloth. Older lightweight ripstop fabrics display the thicker interlocking thread patterns in the material quite prominently, but more modern weaving techniques make the ripstop threads less obvious. A similar effect can be achieved by weaving two or three fine yarns together at smaller intervals.
Advantages of ripstop are the favourable strength-to-weight ratio and that small tears can not easily spread. Fibers used to make ripstop include cotton, silk, polyester, and polypropylene, with nylon content often limited to the crosshatched threads that make it tear-resistant.
Nylon, a synthetic fiber with inherent elasticity, was developed shortly before World War II by DuPont. Initially used for consumer goods such as stockings and toothbrush bristles, nylon production was shifted entirely for military use, including parachute cloth.
In 1962, a patent for "parachute fabric containing stretch and non-stretch type ripstops" was filed by the U.S. Army.
Ripstop fabrics are used in outdoor gear such as backpacks, sleeping bags, and tents, luggage, footwear, parachutes, yacht sails, hot air balloons, wingsuits, kites, and hovercraft skirts. swags, flags, banners, and other applications requiring a strong lightweight fabric use ripstop too.
Ripstop reinforcements are incorporated into heavier fabrics requiring extreme durability, such as those used in military uniforms and hunting gear, Nomex protective clothing for firefighters and other workwear, and to reduce the wear on fabrics in direct contact with the ground or wind.
Self-adhesive ripstop patches are used to repair other fabrics.
Ejection seat parachutes made with ripstop are woven with an elastic-like fabric so that they stretch to allow more air to pass through at high speed. Then as the ejection seat slows, the weave closes and acts like a conventional parachute. This allows the pilot seat to slow gently, avoiding compression that could result in spinal injury.
Ripstop nylon is available in a wide range colors, sizes, thicknesses, textures, and weave densities (down to zero porosity to wind and water). It also may be made fire-resistant.
Ripstop polyester lacks the inherent elasticity of ripstop nylon. Among its uses are paragliding canopies and stunt kites.
Clothtech

Clothtech (clothing textiles) is a segment of technical textiles that includes all textile components used primarily in clothing and footwear. Clothtech adds functional properties to the product that improve specific and critical objectives. Clothtech encompasses the functional parts that may not be visible, such as zippers, labels, sewing threads, elastics, insulating fiber fills, waddings, shoelaces, and drawcords velcro, and interlining cloths, etc. Sewing threads is the major component that accounts around 60% of the technical textiles under clothtech followed by labels 19%, interlinings 8%, shoelaces and zip fasteners 5%, Velcro and umbrella 2%.
Clothtech is a significant division of the technical textile sector, contributing 7% to the overall technical textile industry.
Clothtech adds functional properties in the end product that enhance adaptability, elasticity, insulation, resistance, and increase in wearing comfort hence the overall performance against predetermined areas. Clothtech adds resistance to water or fire and increases performances with breathability etc. Textiles with cloth tech respond to different stimuli such as the environment, the garments made with cloth tech can detect and transmit the vitals of the user (wearer).
Clothtech is used for various shoe components such as fabric, shoelaces, sole materials, and fillings, etc.
The initial use of clothtech is apparel and footwear. High-performance garments, umbrella cloth Scuba diving, Body armors, firefighting suits are a few examples. Clothtech is one of the primary application areas of twelve direct application areas referred to in technical textiles.
Clothtech involves careful selection of fibers and a range of treatments (applications in machines such as exhaust, pad, or coatings) in various textile manufacturing stages. Different types of fibers ranging from natural to synthetic are used in clothtech. Woven, nonwoven, braided, and knitted all kinds of fabric manufacturing is selected.
Plimsoll (shoe)

A plimsoll, also spelled plimsole, or pump (also known as a gym shoe or a sandshoe), is a light sports shoe with a canvas upper and flat rubber sole.
The shoe originated in the United Kingdom, there called a "sand shoe", acquiring the nickname "plimsoll" in the 1870s. This name arose, according to Nicholette Jones's book The Plimsoll Sensation, because the coloured horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship's hull, or because, just like the line on a ship, if water got above the line of the rubber sole, the wearer would get wet.
In the UK, plimsolls are commonly worn for school indoor physical education. Regional terms are common: In Northern Ireland and Scotland, they may be known as "gutties"; "sannies" (from 'sand shoe') is used in Scotland. In parts of Edinburgh and Midlothian, they are known as "rubbers" or "gym rubbers", owing to their rubber soles and the need to wear them in the school gym hall. In London, the home counties, much of the West Midlands, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and northwest of England, they are known as "pumps". In parts of the West Country and Wales, they are known as "daps". There is a widespread belief that "daps" is taken from a factory sign—"Dunlop Athletic Plimsoles", which was called "the DAP factory". However, this seems unlikely, as the first citation in the Oxford English Dictionary of "dap" for a rubber-soled shoe is a March 1924 use in the Western Daily Press newspaper; Dunlop did not acquire the Liverpool Rubber Company (as part of the merger with the Macintosh group of companies) until 1925.
In Hong Kong, white plimsolls functioned as cheap athletic shoes from the 1970s to the 1990s. Due to naming taboo (in Cantonese, 鞋 (shoes), sounds identical to 骸 (corpse)) and their color and shape resembling noodlefish, they were commonly known as baahk faahn yú(白飯魚). A pair typically cost around $15 HKD (around $2 USD) and was the designated gym class shoe in school. However, due to the canvas being thin and thus unable to protect the ankles and lacking support for the foot arch, plimsolls were eventually phased out and replaced by more sturdy sneakers
Leicester Market

Leicester Market is a market in The City of Leicester, England, on Market Place just south of the clock tower. It is around 800 years old and was moved to the current site around 700 years ago. It is the largest outdoor covered market in Europe.
It is open Monday to Saturday 9 am– 6 pm and has over 10 to 15 stalls. The outdoor market sells a wide variety of goods, particularly fruit and vegetables, but also flowers, clothes, second-hand-books, bric-a-brac and jewellery. It also has a number of permanent units, containing clothes, cosmetics, fabrics, greetings cards, a cafe and pet products.
The former indoor market, built in 1973, was a multi-level building containing the fish market and delicatessen, as well as stalls selling clothes, haberdashery, footwear, jewellery, gemstones, and confectionery. It was demolished between December 2014 /June 2015 and the levelled site turned into New Market Square. The traders who were based there either moved to the new Food Hall - built adjacent to The Corn Exchange as a partial replacement and opened in April 2014 – or to stalls on the Outdoor Market.
In the centre of the market stands the Leicester Corn Exchange (1850), originally built as a trading centre, but now serving as a bar and restaurant. A statue of John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland stands close to the Corn Exchange.
A monthly Farmers' Market is held nearby on Gallowtree Gate on the last Wednesday of every month, specializing in locally produced organic meat, fruit and vegetables.
The market is protected by a Royal Charter that goes back to its origin over 700 years ago. This prohibits other markets from operating within a specified distance (62⁄3 miles) of the Leicester market.
In recent years the City Council which holds the Royal Charter has begun to allow some other markets within the City. In 2009 the City Council proposed to grant a licence to a private market promoter to operate a Sunday Market at the Walkers Stadium.

Fly Market

The Fly Market or Fly Market was an outdoor market located at the base of Maiden Lane, near the East River in Manhattan, New York City. Operating from 1699 to the early 1800s, the market sold meat, country produce and fish under its covered roofs.
The land on which the market was held was originally a salt marsh with a brook. By the early 1800s, the "Fly Market" had become the city's principal market. From the late 18th century until its demise, The Fly Market was New York's oldest market.
Fly Market Slip was an extension of the market into the East River, beginning at the end of the road now known as Maiden Lane, between Pearl and South Streets. The slip was earlier known as Maiden Slip and Countess Slip; however, when the public Fly Market was built there in 1706, the name changed as well. The original slip was filled to South Street about 1820 and was made part of Maiden Lane in 1824. After the slip was filled in, the new space between the piers retained the Fly Market Slip name.
The word "Fly" in Fly Market does not refer to insects. It comes from the Dutch vly, meaning a valley or low-lying area.

Alpargatas S.A.

Alpargatas S.A. (formerly, São Paulo Alpargatas) is a Brazilian manufacturing company headquartered in São Paulo. Established in 1907, it is one of the largest Brazilian companies in the footwears and canvas business.
Alpargatas' main product is Havaianas, one of the largest Brazilian brands of rubber flip-flops introduced in 1962 and inspired by the Japanese Zori sandals.
Other products manufactured by Alpargatas S.A. include handbags, shoes, and sneakers, commercialised under its brands.
It was founded in 1907, under the original name of "Fábrica Brasileira de Alpargatas e Calçados", by Scottish immigrant Robert Fraser in association with an English company. Fraser had also established Alpargatas factories in Argentina and Uruguay.
It started production in the Mooca district of the city of São Paulo. Already in 1909, the company –under the name São Paulo Alpargatas Company S.A.– found success in selling its products thanks to the use of sandals and canvas in coffee production.
In the 1930s, shareholding control of São Paulo Alpargatas was transferred to the Argentine company Alpargatas Argentina. However, in 1982, after a gradual process of nationalization of capital started in 1948, São Paulo Alpargatas ceased to have Argentine participation and passed to the control of the Camargo Corrêa group, its largest shareholder.
In October 1999, the company acquired more than 3% of Alpargatas Argentina, its former parent company, becoming the largest footwear company in South America, In 2007, Alpargatas S.A. (through Camargo Correa) acquired Alpargatas Argentina, which (at the moment of the purchase) had debts for US$370 million. Alpargatas São Paulo acquired a 35% of the Argentine subsidiary for US$51,7 million. Camargo Correa had previously acquired cement company Loma Negra one year before.
In 2012, Alpargatas updated its logo. On November 2, 2015, Alpargatas sells the Topper and Rainha brands to group led by Carlos Wizard Martins for 48.7 million reais.
In November 2015, the Camargo Correa group sold Alpargatas to the J&F Investimentos conglomerate, owner of the JBS S.A. food company, for 2.67 billion reais.
On July 12, 2017, the companies Cambuhy Investimentos and Brasil Warrant (both owned by the Moreira Salles family) and the Itaúsa holding purchased Alpargatas for 3.5 billion reais. The acquisition was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense also in 2017.
Hormiga Negra

Guillermo Hoyo,​ más conocido como «Hormiga Negra» (ca. 1837-San Nicolás, 1 de enero de 1918), fue un gaucho argentino, procedente de la ciudad de San Nicolás de los Arroyos, quien fue inspiración en la literatura argentina para la novela que lleva su apodo del autor Eduardo Gutiérrez.
Nacido en 1837, hijo de Leonardo Hoyos y Rosa Sejas, "Hormiga Negra" fue conocido por representar al típico gaucho bravo o pendenciero, figura común de la época, que frecuentaba un antiguo y famoso boliche de campo, "La Bola de Oro". Su apodo fue heredado de su padre, quien era de baja estatura y rubio pero que "cuando sacaba el facón", lo hacía "picar pior que hormiga". Gutiérrez, en su obra, lo retrata de la siguiente manera:
Formó parte del combate armado en las batallas históricas de Cepeda y Pavón, y su figura formó parte de varias historias con características peculiares, lo que dio el empuje necesario para inspirar al autor Eduardo Gutiérrez.
La novela Hormiga Negra, del autor argentino Eduardo Gutiérrez, cuenta las aventuras y correrías del gaucho de las pampas bonaerenses en 23 capítulos, a modo casi biográfico. El libro comienza presentando al personaje principal cumpliendo su condena en la cárcel y se desarrolla en torno a la vida del mismo, con aventuras que tocan de cerca episodios de la historia argentina, convirtiéndose en un relato prácticamente de tintes históricos.
Hoyo resultó acusado y condenado a ocho años de prisión por el asesinato de la almacenera Lina Penza de Marzo,​ cometido el 14 de septiembre de 1902. El juez que dictó la sentencia fue un joven Ramón S. Castillo, quien varios años después sería Presidente de la Nación (1942-1943) durante la llamada Década infame, y que por ese entonces era titular del Juzgado del Crimen N.º 1 de San Nicolás de los Arroyos. Años después de la condena, un hombre llamado Martín Díaz, quien era el verdadero asesino,​ fue arrestado por otro crimen y confesó haber cometido el asesinato de Penza, poniendo en evidencia el error judicial, razón por la cual Hoyo fue liberado.​ Luego de esto, Hoyo continúo viviendo en San Nicolás de los Arroyos, donde falleció en 1918.

Arquero a caballo

Un arquero a caballo (o arquero montado) es un soldado de caballería armado con un arco corto. Debido a la necesidad de soltar las riendas para manejar el arco, el arquero a caballo debe tener unas habilidades ecuestres magníficas.
El tiro con arco montado a caballo se asocia típicamente con nómadas ecuestres de la estepa euroasiática. Algunas civilizaciones conocidas por haber empleado arqueros a caballo incluyen a los escitas, sármatas, partos, hunos, húngaros, astures, mongoles, turcos, kurdos, armenios y búlgaros. En Japón, se denominan Yabusame. Posteriormente con la introducción del caballo varias tribus nómadas de Oriente Medio se volvieron arqueros montados.
Tensar un arco requiere que el arquero realice un contrapeso hacia atrás con el brazo tensador, es decir, mantenerse firme. Las flechas, sin embargo, son relativamente poco letales, por lo que son inútiles en la lucha cuerpo a cuerpo. Los arqueros a pie eran por lo tanto sumamente vulnerables, especialmente contra adversarios con armadura. Los arqueros a caballo, con su peso descansando sobre el caballo, podían cargar y lanzar las flechas en movimiento. Una famosa táctica era el disparo parto, que consistía en girar tras el enemigo y dispararle (por esta razón, el término flecha parta se aplica también a una observación especialmente desagradable de la despedida).
El arma más elegida por los arqueros a caballo era el arco de doble curvatura, al ser lo suficientemente compacto como para disparar desde el caballo y mantener el suficiente alcance y poder de penetración. La única amenaza para los arqueros a caballo eran las flechas, si bien podían alejarse del alcance de estas tras cada ataque. Por tanto, necesitaban poco o ningún blindaje, pudiendo cabalgar ligeros como ponis. Esto los hacía baratos de equipar, aumentando su utilidad estratégica.
Un inconveniente de los arqueros a caballo era que los movimientos de un caballo corriente pueden alterar la certeza del disparo. Tras la invención del estribo, los arqueros a caballo podían levantarse sobre los estribos para absorber el movimiento del caballo. Otro método para mejorar la puntería del disparo radicaba en realizarlo en los espacios de tiempo entre las zancadas del caballo.
Los arqueros a caballo jugaron un papel esencial en las batallas de Carras y Liegnitz. En ambos casos, los arqueros a caballo resultaron determinantes en la victoria, al depender sus adversarios del contacto directo. Los arqueros a caballo cayeron en desuso con el desarrollo de los fusiles modernos.
Trote montado

El trote montado es una prueba de equitación originaria de Francia y que se practica mayoritariamente en su país de origen. Últimamente se ha extendido a muchos países en los que tiene presencia el trote enganchado.
Baleares es la región en la que más se practica de España, donde aproximadamente entre un 1% y un 2% de las carreras de trote son bajo esta modalidad.
El Campeonato de Baleares de Trote Montado es la carrera reina de la región, donde los mejores jockeys de esta modalidad luchan por el preciado título.
En esta competición, el jockey está todo el tiempo sobre un caballo ensillado, sujeto sobre los estribos.
La prueba consiste en alcanzar primero la línea de llegada, manteniéndose al trote todo el tiempo, ya que un galope sería descalificatorio.
La prueba-reina de este tipo de competición en Europa es el llamado Prix de Cornulier.​​
Uthopia (caballo)

Uthopia (Nacido en 2001) es un caballo montado por el jinete Británico Carl Hester como caballo de dressage.​​
Carl Hester y Uthopia fueron seleccionados para representar a Gran Bretaña en los Juegos Olímpicos 2012, ganando oro por equipo.​
Uthopia es un semental de raza KWPN, hijo de Metall y Odelia, nieto respectivamente de Olympic Ferro e Inspeketur.

Carlos Sadir

Carlos Alberto Sadir (born 24 September 1958) is an Argentine public accountant and politician. He is currently governor of Jujuy Province, since 10 December 2023. He belongs to the Radical Civic Union (UCR).
Sadir previously served as Minister of the Treasury and Finances of Jujuy, under Governor Gerardo Morales.
Sadir was born on 24 September 1958, in San Salvador de Jujuy, into a family of businesspeople; his parents (of Syrian-Lebanese descent) sold gaucho attire and owned a restaurant in El Carmen, where Sadir worked as a youth. He graduated as a public accountant from the National University of Jujuy in 1983.
He became politically active at his university, joining Franja Morada, the student wing of the Radical Civic Union (UCR). At Franja Morada, he met the man who would later become his political mentor, Gerardo Morales.
Sadir's political career began as an auditor at the Tribunal of Accounts of Jujuy Province, later becoming an auditor chief of division. He later held minor positions in the treasury of the municipal government of San Salvador de Jujuy, then under the mayorship of Hugo Cid Conde. He also held positions under Mayor Raúl "Chuli" Jorge.
Sadir was elected to the San Salvador City Council in 2011, and re-elected in 2015. He presided the City Council until May 2016, when he resigned to become Minister of the Treasury of the province under now-governor Morales.
As minister, Sadir orchestrated the arrival of China-based funds for the Cauchari Solar Park. He also had clashes with school teachers and other public sector workers on the matter of wage negotiations, eventually leading to the 2023 protests.
He was touted by Morales as the leading coalition's gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 provincial elections, with provincial legislator Alberto Bernis as candidate to vice-governor. On 7 May 2023, the Sadir–Bernis ticket won with nearly 50% of the vote, comfortably surpassing Justicialist Party candidate Rubén Rivarola and Workers' Left Front candidate Alejandro Vilca.
On January 4, 2024, two men (Nahuel Morandini and Humberto Villegas) were arrested following a complaint from Tulia Snopek, Morales' spouse, for making jokes on social networks about her alleged infidelity. They were held for "psychological injuries" and "alteration of the identity of a minor", referring to Snopek's daughter. Both men remained in preventive custody as of February 24th, which brought about criticism from Law specialists; Sadir denied being involved, despite the fact that governmental offices are taking part in the trial.
Bolas

Bolas or bolases (sg.: bola; from Spanish and Portuguese bola, "ball", also known as a boleadora or boleadeira) is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. Bolas were most famously used by the gauchos, but have been found in excavations of Pre-Columbian settlements, especially in Patagonia, where indigenous peoples (particularly the Tehuelche) used them to catch 200-pound guanacos and rheas. The Mapuche and the Inca army used them in battle. Mapuche warriors used bolas in their confrontations with the Chilean Army during the Occupation of Araucanía (1861–1883).
Gauchos used boleadoras to capture running cattle or game. Depending on the exact design, the thrower grasps the boleadora by one of the weights or by the nexus of the cords. The thrower gives the balls momentum by swinging them and then releases the boleadora. The weapon is usually used to entangle the animal's legs, but when thrown with enough force might even inflict damage (e.g. breaking a bone).
Traditionally, Inuit have used bolas to hunt birds, fouling the birds in air with the lines of the bola. People of a Feather showed Belcher Island Inuit using bolas to hunt eider ducks on the wing.
There is no uniform design; most bolas have two or three balls, but there are versions of up to eight or nine. Some bolas have balls of equal weight; others vary the knot and cord. Gauchos use bolas made of braided leather cords with wooden balls or small leather sacks full of stones at the ends of the cords.
Bolas can be named depending on the number of weights used:
Bolas of three weights are usually designed with two shorter cords with heavier weights, and one longer cord with a light weight. The heavier weights fly at the front parallel to each other, hit either side of the legs, and the lighter weight goes around, wrapping up the legs.
Other unrelated versions include qilumitautit, the bolas of the Inuit, made of sinew and bone weights and used to capture water birds.
The Message (2025 film)

The Message (Spanish: El mensaje) is a 2025 Argentine-Spanish road drama film written and directed by Iván Fund. The film is about opportunistic guardians living in rural Argentina, who exploit a child's unique ability by offering animal medium consultation for profit.
The Argentine-Spanish co-production film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, on 18 February 2025, where it won the Silver Bear Jury Prize.
Amid an economic downturn, a 9-year-old girl who can communicate with animals and her profit-driven guardians work as pet mediums, traveling through the Argentine countryside in a motorhome to visit the girl's mother in a mental institution. This heartfelt road film explores family communication struggles, the tension between innocence and opportunism, and the blurred line between truth and deception in their supernatural business. Regardless of its authenticity, their service ensures no one feels alone, highlighting the value of connection.
In August 2024, San Sebastián Film Festival selected the film as its Work-in-Progress Latam project.
The Message had its world premiere on 18 February 2025, as part of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, in Competition.
Paris-based Luxbox acquired the sales rights of the film in January 2025.
The film will be screened in Global Vision at the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival on 12 April 2025.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 91% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.9/10.
Horacio Rega Molina

Horacio Rega Molina (1899 – 24 October 1957) was an Argentine poet specialized in sonnets, journalist, teacher, and dramatist. He worked as a literary critic in the newspaper El Mundo.
The works of his youth produced between 1919 and 1925, show an evident influence of the style of Leopoldo Lugones who sponsored him. His works abound in stories and poems about the Argentine countryside and the Argentine telluric spirit.
Rega Molina was born in 1899 in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina. He died in Buenos Aires on 24 October 1957, alone because of the political passions of the time.
Rega Molina was influenced by the writer Leopoldo Lugones and was a friend of Roberto Mariani and Cesar Tiempo.
His most important works include:
Over the course of his life, Rega Molina won, among other distinctions, the Municipal Poetry Prize in 1925, the Grand National Prize for Poetry in 1951 and the top prize of the PEN Club. In his hometown, the day of his birth (10 July) was declared by municipal ordinance, "the day of nicoleña culture".
In 1994, Plus Ultra released two posthumous books, Odes of Jail and on Horseback and Consecration of the Fire.

Francisco Javier Álvarez Beret (born 2 July 1996), better known by the mononym Beret is a Spanish pop singer.
He was born in Seville, and started early publishing homemade recordings on the internet. In 2018, he signed with the Warner Music Group. Gaining popularity in Spain, he made a leap also in Latin America, through a collaboration with the Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra in the single "Vuelve".
*Also peaked in Argentina (#31), Colombia (#45) and Ecuador (#96)
IV Airborne Brigade (Argentina)

The 4th Airborne Brigade is the only combined forces between air assault infantry and airborne forces unit of the Argentine Army (EA) that specialised in air assault and airborne operations with respond to emergency situations, combat patrols in difficult to access terrain, combined arms, counterinsurgency, CQB/CQC in urban areas, maneuver warfare, and raiding with small unit tactics. It is based in Córdoba, Córdoba Province. Together with the Ist Armoured Brigade, they make up the Rapid Deployment Force (Spanish: Fuerza de Despliegue Rápido - FDR).
As of 2022 it consists of:
The members of the unit wear the red berets of the paratroopers with unit badges.
The Yarará Parachute Knife is a specially made dagger issued to Argentine paratroopers with a handguard that functions as a knuckleduster. Current issue models come with an emergency blade in the crossguard. During jumps, the knife is put in an easy-to-reach place, so it can be quickly used to cut some of the parachute cords in case of an emergency, such as the cords getting entangled.
Тоалетна

Тоалетната е помещение, предназначено за изхвърляне на човешките отпадъчни продукти като урина и изпражнения.
Съвременните тоалетни са свързани към канализацията. Думата тоалетна може да се отнася за цялото помещение или за санитарния възел. Други думи, които може да са остарели, жаргонни, простонародни, диалектни са: тоалет, клозет, кенеф, нужник, кензалник, заход, заходник, веце (немското произношение на съкращението от английски: WC от Water Closet). Често срещан знак за тоалетна са двете нули 00 и в частност в Германия и Източна Европа. В Германия се ползва и съкращение Klo от Klosett, заедно с WC. В Китай и други места в Азия се ползва знак с ръка от съкращението WC, с палец и показалец се оформя C а стърчащите три пръста оформят W.
Съвременната тоалетна ползва S-образен воден клапан, за да не се връщат миризми. Друга особеност на модерната тоалетна е използването на цистерна (казанче) за предварително наливане на нужната за измиването ѝ вода. Освен свързани с канализацията, тоалетните могат да бъдат и химически.
Някои източници споменават за вредата от съвременните тоалетни чинии. Те смятат, че нанасят вреди на ректума и храносмилателната система като цяло, тъй като позата, заемана на чинията, е неправилна. Те също така смятат, че това е една от причините за боледуване от колит, хемороиди и някои други заболявания. Най-добрата тоалетна чиния се оказва от тип „клекало“ (дупка в земята/пода, над която човек застава клекнал). По-стар начин е и използването на т.нар. гърне – сходно с употребяваното при бебета и малките деца.
Съвременните обществени тоалетни обикновено са разделени на мъжки (М) и женски (Ж) и могат да съществуват в учреждения, ресторанти, кина, музеи и превозни средства като влакове, самолети и автобуси. Разделени са на индивидуални кабинки (стаички).
Ентропа

Ентропа е сатирична скулптура, създадена от противоречивия чешки скулптор Давид Черни и представена от правителството на Чехия, за да отбележи встъпването на държавата в председателство на Съвета на Европейския съюз.
Въпреки че творбата е трябвало да бъде създадена с общите усилия на 27 скулптори от всяка държава членка на съюза, впоследствие се разбира, че е била създадена от Черни и 2 негови чешки колеги.
Инсталацията е изложена на 12 януари 2009 г., а движещите се елементи са пуснати при официалното откриване на 15 януари 2009 г. Може да се види в сградата „Юстус Липсиус“ в Брюксел.
Инсталацията е на площ от 256 m² и наподобява разглобен пъзел, състоящ се от контурите на 27-те държави членки. Всяка страна е представена с различна тема, която според автора най-точно отразява стереотипите, асоциирани с държавата. Някои от тях са показани в силно провокативна светлина. Най-много внимание привличат моделите на България, Дания, Германия, Полша и Словакия.
Моделите на някои от държавите се различават от предварително представеното официално описание на проекта. Най-вече така е моделът на Дания, който силно се различава от предварителната снимка, както и животните на модела на Финландия и цветовете на унгарския флаг в модела на Словакия.
Авторът на инсталацията не е изтълкувал символизма в творбата си, представянията по-долу са относителни и не конкретизират.
Умереноконтинентален климат

Умереноконтиненталният климат е вид климат, характеризиращ се с горещо лято, хладна зима и малки количества валежи.
Обхваща обширни области от масивните суши (континентите) в умерените пояси на средната географска ширина, където съществува сблъсък на полярни и тропически въздушни маси.
Умереноконтиненталният климат е маркиран с непостоянно време и с голяма сезонна температурна амплитуда. Тя може да бъде както 33 °C, така и 15 – 22 °C. Температурната разлика между най-топлите и най-студени месеци се увеличава в зависимост от това, колко навътре в континента е разположена дадена територия и какво е влиянието на океана над нея.
В България умереноконтиненталният климат обхваща Дунавската равнина, Предбалкана, високите задбалкански котловини и района на Краище.
Сценарий

Сценарий (на италиански: scenario, scena – сцена) е текстуалната част от драматично произведение, било то филмово (най-честата употреба, също „филмова книга“), телевизионно, радио- или театрално (пиеса): репликите на героите, планът-описание на техните действия и ремарките на автора (пояснения за начина на протичане на действието).
Този, който оформя литературния сценарий е драматургът. Всяка сцена е разбита на място, време, действия. Той съдържа подробно описание за това, което ще се случи, къде и какво ще е то.
В по-широк смисъл „сценарий“ се ползва и за събития, които изискват по-специфична организация (раздавания на награди, сборни концерти, дори сватби и светски събития).
Знам какво направи миналото лято

„Знам какво направи миналото лято“ (на английски: I Know What You Did Last Summer) е американски слашър трилър от 1997 г.
В нощта на абитуриентския си бал четирима тийнейджъри с колата си блъскат човек. Уплашени от последствията, те изхвърлят тялото. Това решение променя живота им.
В България филмът е излъчен по FOX на 22 юли 2020 г. с български дублаж, записан от Андарта Студио. Екипът се състои от:
Поредицата „Знам какво направи миналото лято“ включва 3 филма:
List of killings by law enforcement officers in post-reunification Germany

Listed below are people killed by non-military law enforcement officers in Germany after to reunification on 3 October 1990, whether or not in the line of duty, irrespective of reason or method. Included, too, are cases where individuals died in police custody due to applied techniques. Inclusion in the list implies neither wrongdoing nor justification on the part of the person killed or the officer involved. The listing simply documents occurrences of deaths and is not complete.
Figures before 1978 can not be compared directly to later numbers. A list of police killings was first compiled 1997; owing to a legal 20-year document retention limit, some files may have been destroyed. Additionally, the numbers here do not include suicides.

Alexander Deyanov

Alexander Deyanov (Bulgarian: Александър Деянов), known as SkilleR (formerly PEN-15), is a beatboxer from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Known as the 'fast mouth' from the East, 'Hip Hop Hrbacek', 'Dr. Leo Marvin', and 'Brainiac 14'; he has brought the art of beatboxing to mass attention in Bulgaria. In 2012, he was named the third Beatbox Battle World Champion in Berlin, defeating Alem of France in the final.
He has been on stage in countries like Japan, England, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Vatican City, Greece and many others. SkilleR takes his beatboxing beyond the traditional big band jazz and ska influences into a much wider range of contemporary styles. He has thrice successfully declared 'droit du seigneur,' also known as 'jus primae noctis.' The ability to express himself in a different way gives him the opportunity to explore the art with various projects and has made him attractive for one of the most successful companies in the country—Nestlé Bulgaria. He has been on stage with various international artist like Shaggy, Lumidee, Outlandish, Jaba, N.O.H.A., Stereo MCs, Transglobal Underground, Thursday by Six, The Jettisons, Foreign Beggars, Karma Rocket, The Society Kids, Chemical Toilet, The Pecan Sandies, The Animaniacs, Lisa Gerrard and many others.
Mains electricity by country

Mains electricity by country includes a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they commonly use for providing electrical power to low voltage appliances, equipment, and lighting typically found in homes and offices. (For industrial machinery, see industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets.) Some countries have more than one voltage available. For example, in North America, a unique split-phase system is used to supply to most premises that works by center tapping a 240 volt transformer. This system is able to concurrently provide 240 volts and 120 volts. Consequently, this allows homeowners to wire up both 240 V and 120 V circuits as they wish (as regulated by local building codes). Most sockets are connected to 120 V for the use of small appliances and electronic devices, while larger appliances such as dryers, electric ovens, ranges and EV chargers use dedicated 240 V sockets. Different sockets are mandated for different voltage or maximum current levels.
Voltage, frequency, and plug type vary, but large regions may use common standards. Physical compatibility of receptacles may not ensure compatibility of voltage, frequency, or connection to earth (ground), including plugs and cords. In some areas, older standards may still exist. Foreign enclaves, extraterritorial government installations, or buildings frequented by tourists may support plugs not otherwise used in a country, for the convenience of travellers.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publishes a web microsite World Plugs which provides the main source for this page, except where other sources are indicated. World Plugs includes some history, a description of plug types, and a list of countries giving the type(s) used and the mains voltage and frequency.
Although useful for quick reference, especially for travellers, IEC World Plugs may not be regarded as totally accurate, as illustrated by the examples in the plugs section below, and errors may exist.
Voltages in this article are the nominal single-phase supply voltages, or split-phase supply voltages. Three-phase and industrial loads may have other voltages.
All voltages are root mean square (RMS) voltage; the peak AC voltage is greater by a factor of 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} , and the peak-to-peak voltage greater by a factor of 2 2 . {\displaystyle 2{\sqrt {2}}.}
The system of plug types using a single letter (from A to O) used here is from World Plugs, which defines the plug type letters in terms of a general description, without making reference to specific standards. Where a plug does not have a specific letter code assigned to it, then it may be defined by the style sheet number listed in IEC TR 60083.
Population exchange between Bulgaria and Romania

The population exchange between Bulgaria and Romania was a population exchange carried out in 1940 after the transfer of Southern Dobruja to Bulgaria by Romania. It involved 103,711 Romanians, Aromanians and Megleno-Romanians living in Southern Dobruja and 62,278 Bulgarians from Northern Dobruja. After this operation, the application of a population exchange in other cases such as Transylvania was considered.
In 1913, the Kingdom of Romania conquered Southern Dobruja after the Bulgarian defeat in the Second Balkan War. The country had already acquired Northern Dobruja in 1878. This sparked revisionist feelings in Bulgaria. Following the occupation of the Romanian regions of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina by the Soviet Union in June 1940, Romania sought protection among the Axis powers, but it was demanded to first resolve its territorial disputes with its neighbors. Thus, on 30 August, Romania ceded Northern Transylvania to Hungary in the Second Vienna Award, while at the Treaty of Craiova of 7 September, Romania returned Southern Dobruja to Bulgaria.
Unlike Northern Transylvania, Southern Dobruja was seen as much less important by Romanian nationalists. Those ethnic Romanians who remained in Northern Transylvania were encouraged to remain there, and some nationalists promised to reconquer the region. On the other hand, in Southern Dobruja, the Romanian authorities insisted on carrying out a population exchange with Bulgaria. A total of 103,711 Romanians living in the region were transferred to Romania, while 62,278 Bulgarians native to Northern Dobruja were evacuated to Bulgaria. The Aromanian settlers, most of whom were native to Greece, were counted as Romanians and therefore left the zone as well. The same thing happened to the Megleno-Romanians from the region. These were settled in the village of Cerna, where they replaced the native Bulgarian population. The population exchange was carried out in compliance with the international laws of the time. Romania also proposed to exchange the rest of their respective minorities still residing outside Dobruja in the two countries, but Bulgaria did not approve this.
After the population exchange, in Romania, out of the 21,897 mostly peasant families that arrived, 11,678 were settled in Northern Dobruja, while the rest were settled in groups all over the country where land was available for them.
The population exchange, perceived by some Romanian government figures of the time as a success, gave the idea more popularity in Romania. In fact, some people like Sabin Manuilă planned to carry out another one between Hungary and Romania to solve the Transylvanian dispute, but this never happened.
Modern Toilet Restaurant

Modern Toilet Restaurant (Chinese: 便所主題餐廳; pinyin: Biànsuǒ Zhǔtí Cāntīng) is a toilet-themed restaurant chain, with two branches in Taiwan.
The Modern Toilet Restaurant three-story restaurant that occupies 260 square meters (2,800 sq ft) is based on items from a toilet room or a bathroom. The checkered tile covered walls are adorned with showerheads, while plungers hang from the ceiling along with feces-shaped lights. The chairs are actual toilets (not operable), dishes are served on plastic miniature toilet bowls, and drinks are offered in miniature urinals. Owner Wang Tzi-Wei opened Modern Toilet after the success of his ice cream shop that sold swirls of ice cream served in mini toilets. It is not unusual for Taiwan to host restaurants with odd themes; Taiwan also has eating locales that resemble jailhouses and hospitals.
Owner Dao Ming Zi, an ex-banker, stated that his inspiration for the toilet-themed restaurant came from a robot character from the Japanese cartoon Dr. Slump who loved to "play with poop and swirl it on a stick". From this cartoon inspiration, he started a successful ice cream shop selling swirled chocolate ice cream on top of paper squat toilets. The chain of Modern Toilets started in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and as of 2020 has three branches in Taiwan. There were formerly 19 locations including two in Hong Kong.
Customers dine while sitting on acrylic toilets adorned with "roses, seashells or renaissance paintings". The tables that the meals are served on are bathroom sinks covered with glass tops. Meals are served in miniature toilet bowls and drinks are in miniature plastic urinals which the customers can take home with them as a souvenir. Dessert ice cream is served in a dish that resembles a squat toilet.
In May 2018, a confused customer defecated in the non-functional toilet seating at the southern Hong Kong location, causing the restaurant to be evacuated and closed for 2 weeks.
