Ficus lyrata

Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, banjo fig, fiddle-leaved fig tree, lyre leaf fig tree, or lyre-leaved fig tree, is a species of plant in the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is native to western Africa, but is cultivated around the world as an ornamental plant. It has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
The leaves are variable in shape, but often with a broad apex and narrow middle, resembling a lyre or fiddle; they are up to 45 cm (18 in) long and 30 cm (12 in) broad (though usually smaller) with a leathery texture, prominent veins and a wavy margin.
The fruit is a green fig 2.5–3 cm (1-¼ in) diameter.
Ficus lyrata Warb. (known as fiddle-leaf fig) is an evergreen tree or shrub, native to West and Central Africa tropical rain forest, being one of the most demanding and showy Ficus species. It is known as a decorative species in Europe and North America (Florida) as well. It can grow 9–12 m in these areas.
F. lyrata is native to Benin, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Togo, where it occurs in moist lowland forests. It also occurs as an introduced species in the Canary Islands, El Salvador, and Trinidad and Tobago.
It is a popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical gardens, and is also grown as a houseplant in temperate areas, where it usually stays shorter and fails to flower or fruit. It requires direct natural light. It is hardy down to 10 °C (50 °F), so specimens may be placed outside during warm periods.
A commonly tricky houseplant despite its popularity, the fiddle-leaf fig does not respond well to being moved, especially from a spot where it is thriving. Being a tropical plant, it does not tolerate cold temperatures well or survive prolonged freezes. Proper drainage, adequate sunlight (direct but not harsh), and misting with water will help keep a fiddle-leaf fig bright green with its signature glossy finish.
The optimal relative humidity for the fiddle-leaf fig is between 25%-49%, but it can tolerate lower humidity. When it comes to the temperature requirements, the optimal temperature for the fiddle-leaf fig is between 65–75 °F (18–24 °C).
Grown indoors, light is the most limiting factor for Ficus lyrata. It is a full sun plant (it grows in direct sun most of the day in the natural habitat), but it can also grow well indoors in bright indirect light.
Ficus lyrata can be propagated in multiple ways:
Hoheria populnea

Hoheria populnea, commonly known as New Zealand mallow, lacebark or houhere, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, endemic to New Zealand.
Hoheria populnea is found from the coast to lowland forests, and has a natural distribution from the North Cape of the North Island, to the Bay of Plenty. It can grow into a tree 12 metres tall and has broad, oval leaves, with serrated margins. The leaves are dark green, 5–12 cm long and 6 cm wide. Lacebark produces white flowers in clusters from January to March.
The bark of the plant was used in Māori traditional textiles to create ropes, hats, kits and headbands. Oral histories tell of early experiments to create felted material from the plant, similar to aute (the paper mulberry used in Polynesian textiles), however attempts were unsuccessful.
Delicate Flowers

Delicate Flowers is an American indie rock band from New Jersey.
Delicate Flowers is a four-piece indie rock and folk band from New Jersey, that formed in 2017. It consists of drummer Skylar Adler, bassist Frank DeFranco, guitarist and vocalist Eric Goldberg, and guitarist Donnie Law. Delicate Flowers began as a solo project by Goldberg, writing "songs that were almost more poems than songs." They draw comparison to the music of Conor Oberst, Sufjan Stevens, My Bloody Valentine and Silversun Pickups. Their first EP, the four-track Delicate Flowers, was released with Sniffling Indie Kids on 6 October 2015, and it contains a cover of "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam." The lead single "Inherently a Drag" is about "not believing in anything and how that's a bummer but that at the same time, you can't really fool yourself." Speak Into My Good Eye describes the song as a "mature, world-weariness backed by atmospheric, jangly acoustic strums, echoed harmonies and a sense of hope springing up out of the uncertainty." The eight-track album, entitled Happy Accidents, was released on 15 April 2016. Goldberg plays every instrument on the album. Bob Makin in Courier News calls it "strip[ped] down to an indie folk root," adding that the song "Happy Accidents" "mines the kind of intelligent, witty, emotionally raw songwriting that has made Sufjan Stevens and the late Elliott Smith influences on many young artists."
Delicate Flowers performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival on 23 September 2017. They also performed at the Secret Loft's Broken Records: Year One Anniversary! show, with LKFFCT, Shred Flintstone and Bueno, on 17 August 2018. The album Die Progress Unit I was released with Sniffling Indie Kids, on 2 November 2018, and the record release show was held that night at Stosh's in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, with LKFFCT, John Cozz and Toy Cars. The album is the first half of a two-part project that will culminate in the Spring of 2019. The opening track "Vessel" is described as "the finest moments of post-shoegaze and 90s grunge-pop[;] the song is simply impossible to ignore" by Jersey Beat.
Frost flower

A frost flower or ice flower is formed when thin layers of ice are extruded from long-stemmed plants in autumn or early winter. The thin layers of ice are often formed into exquisite patterns, curling into "petals" which resemble flowers.
Frost flower formations are also referred to as frost faces, ice castles, ice blossoms, or crystallofolia.
Types of frost flowers include needle ice, frost pillars, or frost columns, extruded from pores in the soil, and ice ribbons, rabbit frost, or rabbit ice, extruded from linear fissures in plant stems. The term "ice flower" is also used as synonym for ice ribbons, but it may be used to describe the unrelated phenomenon of window frost as well.
The formation of frost flowers is dependent on a freezing weather condition occurring when the ground is not already frozen. The sap in the stem of the plants will expand (water expands when frozen), causing long, thin cracks to form along the length of the stem. Water is then drawn through these cracks via capillary action and freezes upon contact with the air. As more water is drawn through the cracks it pushes the thin ice layers further from the stem, causing a thin "petal" to form.
The petals of frost flowers are very delicate and will break when touched. They usually melt or sublime when exposed to sunlight and are usually visible in the early morning or in shaded areas.
Examples of plants that often form frost flowers are white crownbeard (Verbesina virginica), commonly called frostweed, yellow ironweed (Verbesina alternifolia), dittany (Cunila origanoides), and Helianthemum canadense.
Enfleurage

Enfleurage is a process that uses odorless fats that are solid at room temperature to capture the fragrant compounds, such as volatile oils, produced by plants. The process can be "cold" enfleurage or "hot" enfleurage.
There are two types of enfleurage:
In both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the "enfleurage pomade". The enfleurage pomade was either sold as it was, or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. The alcohol was then separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, leaving behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat is usually used to make soaps since it is still relatively fragrant.
The enfleurage fragrance extraction method is one of the oldest. It is also highly inefficient and costly but was the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds in delicate flowers such as jasmine and tuberose, which would be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gases.

Wetland indicator status

Wetland indicator status denotes the probability of individual species of vascular plants occurring in freshwater, brackish and saltwater wetlands in the United States. The wetland status of 7,000 plants is determined upon information contained in a list compiled in the National Wetland Inventory undertaken by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and developed in cooperation with a federal inter-agency review panel (Reed, 1988). The National List was compiled in 1988 with subsequent revisions in 1996 and 1998.
The wetland indicator status of a species is based upon the individual species occurrence in wetlands in 13 separate regions within the United States. In some instances the specified regions contain all or part of different floristic provinces and the tension zones which occur between them.
While many Obligate Wetland (OBL) species do occur in permanently or semi-permanently flooded wetlands, there are also a number of obligates that occur in temporary or seasonally flooded wetlands. A few species are restricted entirely to these transient-type wetland environments.
Plant species are general indicators of various degrees of environmental factors; they are however not precise. The presence of a plant species at a specific site depends on a variety of climatic, edaphic and biotic factors, and the effect of individual factors such as degree of substrate saturation and depth and duration of standing water is impossible to isolate.
A plant's indicator status is applied to the species as a whole however individual variations may exist within the species, referred to as "ecotypes"; individual plants which may have adapted to specific environments as may occur in a microhabitat, which isn't indicative of the species as a whole. The morphological differences between these ecotypes and the relevant species may or may not be easily discerned.
A positive (+) or negative (−) sign is used for the facultative categories. The (+) sign indicates a frequency towards the wetter end of the category (more frequently found in wetlands) and the (−) sign indicates a frequency towards the drier end of the category (less frequently found in wetlands).
Corps wetland regions are defined as follows:
Flora Azikiwe

Flora Ogbenyeanu Ogoegbunam Azikiwe (7 August 1917 – 22 August 1983) was the first wife of Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first President of Nigeria. She served as the first First Lady of Nigeria from 1 October 1963 to 16 January 1966.
Flora Ogbenyeanu Ogoegbunam was born in Onitsha, a city in present-day Anambra State to Chief Ogoegbunam, the Adazia of Onitsha (Ndichie Chief) from Ogboli Agbor Onitsha. She met Nnamdi Azikiwe there in 1934, and the two were married on 4 April 1936. Their wedding was held at Wesley Church James Town, Accra, Gold Coast (present-day Ghana) where her husband was working as the editor of African Morning Post at the time.
Azikiwe was a member of the Eastern Working Committee of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC). She was the first Patron of the Home Science Association (HSA), formerly known as Federal Home Science Association.
On 22 August 1983, Azikiwe died at the age of 66. She and her husband had one daughter and three sons.
Hydrophylloideae

Hydrophylloideae is a subfamily of the plant family Boraginaceae. Its taxonomic position is somewhat uncertain. Traditionally, and under the Cronquist system, the taxon was given family rank under the name Hydrophyllaceae, and treated as part of the order Solanales. More recent systems have recognised a close relationship to the borage family, Boraginaceae, initially by placing Hydrophyllaceae and Boraginaceae together in an order Boraginales, and in the 2016 APG IV system by including Hydrophyllaceae in Boraginaceae. However, the placement and circumscription of Boraginaceae is still uncertain. Some sources now split off Hydrophyllaceae again (together with Namaceae).
Plants in this subfamily may be annual or perennial herbs or shrubs, with either a prostrate or an erect stem. Most have a taproot. The flowers are bisexual, and normally radial, with 5 petals and 5 stamens. About 20 genera, containing around 300 species, are recognised; many of them are native to the western United States.
The subfamily takes its name from the genus Hydrophyllum (waterleaf). Members include Emmenanthe (whispering bells), Nemophila (baby blue eyes) and Phacelia (scorpionweed).
As of November 2024, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website accepted the family Hydrophyllaceae rather than the subfamily Hydrophylloideae, and included 12 genera:
Four further genera were accepted by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website, but placed in the family Namaceae:
The division into two families rather than one subfamily follows the recommendations of the Boraginales Working Group.
Plaza Miranda

14°35′53.49″N 120°59′0.93″E﻿ / ﻿14.5981917°N 120.9835917°E﻿ / 14.5981917; 120.9835917
Ang Plaza Miranda ay isang plasa o liwasang pinapaligiran ng Bulebar Quezon, Kalye R. Hidalgo at Kalye Evangelista sa Quiapo, Maynila. Ito ang plasang humaharap sa Basilika Menor ng Itim na Nazareno (Simbahan ng Quiapo), isa sa mga pangunahing simbahan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, at kinikilala ito bilang sentro (o poblasyon) ng buong Quiapo. Ipinangalan ito kay José Sandino y Miranda, na naglingkod bilang Kalihim ng Kabang-Yaman ng Pilipinas mula 1833 hanggang 1854, at inagurahan ito sa kasalukuyan nitong anyo noong taning ni dating Alkalde Arsenio Lacson noong 1961.
Kilala bilang sentro ng diskursong pampolitika sa Pilipinas bago ang imposisyon ng batas militar noong 1972, dito naganap ang pagbobomba sa Plaza Miranda noong 1970 sa isang miting de abanse ng Partido Liberal, kung saan siyam na katao ang namatay. Isinailalim sa pagpapaganda naman ang plasa noong 2000, na nagkahalaga ng ₱49 milyon, kung saan itinayo ang isang monumento para sa mga biktima ng pagbobomba at iba pang mga elementong arkitektural. Kasalukuyang umiiral ang Plaza Miranda bilang isang liwasan ng kalayaan (freedom park), kung saan maaaring magtanghal ang mga tao ng mga kilos-protesta nang hindi kailangang humingi ng pahintulot mula sa pamahalaang panlungsod, at dahil libu-libong katao ang tumatawid dito araw-araw, kinikilala rin ito bilang Times Square ng Maynila.
Kahit kung hinaharap nito ang Simbahan ng Quiapo, kilala rin ang Plaza Miranda bilang isang sentro para sa panghuhula at paghahanap ng swerte, lalo na sa pagbibili ng mga anting-anting at iba pang mga magkahawig na bagay. Ayon sa mga manghuhula sa paligid ng Plaza Miranda, nagmumula raw ang kanilang kakayahang manghula ng kapalaran sa kanilang debosyon sa Itim na Nazareno, kahit kung ang gawain mismo ng panghuhula ay hindi sinasang-ayunan ng Simbahang Katoliko.
Kalye Hidalgo

Ang Kalye Hidalgo (Ingles: Hidalgo Street), na kilala rin bilang Kalye F.R. Hidalgo o Kalye R. Hidalgo, (F.R. Hidalgo Street o R. Hidalgo Street sa Ingles), ay isang kalye sa distrito ng Quiapo sa lumang pusod ng Lungsod ng Maynila, ang kabisera ng Pilipinas. Dumadaan ito mula silangan pakanluran sa gitna ng distrito at nag-uugnay ng dalawa sa mga kilalang pook nito: ang Simbahan ng Quiapo at Simbahan ng San Sebastian. Nahahati ito sa dalawang bahagi sa pamamagitan ng Bulebar Quezon. Ang kanlurang bahagi ay isang sona para sa mga naglalakad na bumubuo sa katimugang hangganan ng Plaza Miranda at dumadaan kalinya sa Kalye Carriedo sa hilaga. Ang silangang bahagi ay isang kalyeng dalawa ang mga linya na tumutungo sa Simbahan ng San Sebastian. Ang kanlurang dulo nito ay sa Kalye Gomez, at ang silangang dulo nito ay sa Kalye Bilibid Viejo. Ang kabuuang haba nito ay 0.8 kilometro (0.5 milya).
Kilala ang kalye noong panahon ng mga Kastila bilang Calle San Sebastian. Kinalaunan, binigyan ito ng bagong pangalan na mula kay Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, isa sa mga pinakadakilang Pilipinong pintor sa huling bahagi ng panahon ng mga Kastila.
Ang Kalye Hidalgo ay isang pinaghalong lugar ng mga tindero't tinderang naglilingkod sa mga retratista (mga propesyonal man o taong masigasig). Itinuri itong pinakamagandang kalsada sa Maynila noong ika-labinsiyam (19) na dantaon. Ngayon, may mga panukala na naglalayong ibalik ang kagandahan at ipahalaga ang mga makasaysayang gusali sa Kalye Hidalgo.
Noong 2006, nagpanukala sina John Chua (isang kilalang retratista sa mga anunsiyo na nakabase sa Makati) at Jason B. Lindo (isang tagapagsangguni sa pagaanunsiyo) ng Proyektong Hidalgo (Hidalgo Project) sa pamahalaang panlungsod ng Maynila. Nakapaloob sa panukalang ito ang pagpapaayos at pagpapaganda ng Kalye Hidalgo bilang isang Photographers' Haven. Malugod naman itong tinanggap ng pamahalaan, at agad-agad na naghirang ng mga tauhan ng pamahalaan ang alkalde upang maisagawa ang mga proyekto.

Pagbomba sa Piazza Fontana

Tumutukoy ang pagbomba sa Piazza Fontana sa pagbobomba ng mga terorista noong 12 Disyembre 1969, ng mga tanggapan ng Banca Nazionale dell’Agricoltura sa Piazza Fontana sa Milano sa Italya. 16 tao ang patay at hanggang 90 ang sugatan. Ayon sa mga pag-aamin ng neopasistang terorista na si Vincenzo Vinciguerra, ang motibo ng atake ay mapaniwala ang publiko na ang mga pambobomba ay bahagi ng isang pambabalak ng mga komunistang pabagsakin ang pamahalaan, upang “maitulak ang estadong Italyanong ipahayag ang state of emergency.” Ito ang paggamit ng tinatawag na estratehiya ng tensiyon, na sinasabing ginamit rin sa pagbobomba ng Plaza Miranda sa Maynila at sa ebentwal din na pagpapahayag ni Ferdinand Marcos ng batas militar sa Pilipinas.

Pamamaril sa Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila

Noong Hulyo 24, 2022, isang pamamaril ang naganap sa loob ng Ateneo de Manila University campus sa Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, na ikinasawi ng tatlong tao at ikina-sugat nang dalawa pa.
Humigit-kumulang isang oras bago ang insidente, isang graduation ceremony ang nakatakdang isagawa para sa Ateneo School of Law students ng Ateneo de Manila University.
Bagama't mataas ang bilang ng homicide sa Pilipinas, ang malawakang pamamaril - lalo na ang mga pamamaril sa paaralan - ay hindi karaniwan. Gayunpaman, laganap ang mga krimeng may kinalaman sa pulitika.
Bandang alas-3:30 ng hapon (lokal na oras), noong Hulyo 24, 2022, isang gunman ang nagpaputok sa labas ng gusali ng Unibersidad, ang lugar para sa seremonya ng pagtatapos. Dating alkalde ng Lamitan, Basilan Rose Furigay, na tagpo sa panahon ng pag-atake, ay ang pangunahing target ng salarin. Siya ay napatay kasama ang isang guwardiya na nabaril habang sinusubukang tigilan ang salarin, at isang executive assistant ng dating alkalde.
Namataan ng umano'y gunman, na kinilalang si Chao-Tiao Yumol, ang kanyang target at nagpaputok. Matapos ang pag-atake, pinamunuan ni Yumol ang isang sasakyan at nagmaneho palabas ng campus sa kanyang pagsisikap na tumakas. Si Yumol ay hinarang ng isang mandurumog sa pagdating sa Aurora Boulevard matapos niyang araruhin ang ilang sasakyan at motorsiklo. Pagkatapos ay inaresto si Yumol ng mga rumespondeng pulis.
Tatlo ang nasawi sa pag-atake: dating mayor ng Lamitan na si Rosita "Rose" Furigay, Victor George Capistrano (ayuda ni Furigay), at Jeneven Bandiola (isang Ateneo security guard). Si Hannah (anak ni Furigay) at isang bystander ay nasugatan din.
Si Chao-Tiao Yumol, isang doktor, ay isang residente ng Lamitan, Basilan. Ayon sa pulisya, walang permanenteng tirahan si Yumol sa Metro Manila at palaging tumatakbo para isagawa ang pamamaslang. Noong 2018, isang cease and desist order ang inilabas sa klinika ni Yumol sa Lamitan ng gobyerno ng Bangsamoro.
Ikinondena ng ilang organisasyon at pampublikong personalidad ang nagyaring pamamaril. Hiniling ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos ang agarang imbestigasyon sa pamamaril. Alkalde ng Quezon City na si Joy Belmonte ay kinondena ang nangyaring pamamril, at sinabi na "ang ganitong uri ng pangyayari ay walang lugar sa ating lipunan at dapat hatulan sa pinakamataas na antas", habang umabot ito ng pakikiramay sa mga pamilya ng mga biktima. Ang Philippine Red Cross ay nagpadala ng walong bag ng dugo papunta sa Quirino Memorial Medical Center (QMMC) kung saan gumagaling ang mga nasugatang biktima.
Kinansela ng Ateneo de Manila University ang seremonya ng pagtatapos para sa mga mag-aaral nito na nakaiskedyul na mangyari oras matapos ang pamamaril at ipinangako nito na tutulungan ang sinumang estudyante, guro, at panauhin na apektado ng insidente. Nangako rin ang mga miyembro ng Ateneo de Manila na magbibigay ito ng suportang pinansyal sa pamilya ni Bandiola at inilunsad ang isang QR code payment channel.
Marco Polo Ortigas Manila

Marco Polo Ortigas Manila () ay isang hotel sa Ortigas Center sa Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Noong Mayo 2012, ito ay iniulat na ang Unang SLP Holdings sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga yunit, Xin Tian TI Development Corporation ay naka-sign isang kasunduan sa Marco Polo Hotel Group upang bumuo ng Marco Polo Ortigas Manila.
Ang groundbreaking ceremony para sa hotel na humantong sa pamamagitan ng Xin Tian TI Development Corporation at Marco Polo Hotels Group ay gaganapin noong Disyembre 10, 2010 na may pagkumpleto ng mga target na hanay sa 2nd Quarter ng 2014. Ang konstruksiyon ng mga otel ay nagsimula noong Oktubre 2010, ilang buwan nang mas maaga kaysa sa groundbreaking ceremony. Ang gastos ng proyekto hotel ay ₱3 billion. Pagkatapos Pangulong Benigno Aquino III na humantong sa ang engrandeng paglulunsad ng Marco Polo Ortigas Manila sa hulyo 9, 2014.
Ang mga disenyo ng arkitektura ng mga gusali ng hotel ay tapos na sa pamamagitan ng Japan-based na kompanya MOHRI, Architect & Associates habang Ang panloob na disenyo ng hotel ay tapos na sa pamamagitan ng Canada-based na GLYPH Disenyo Studio. Ang mga gusali ay 41 kuwento mataas sa taas ng 180 metro (590 tal).
Ang hotel ay may 316 na mga kuwarto at suite na may kasamang dalawang Continental Club na sahig. Dining Outlets na naka-host sa loob ng hotel ay Cucina, isang all-day dining restaurant, Lung Hin, ang isang Cantonese restaurant, Cafe Pronto, sa isang coffee venue at VU, isang sky bar at lounged sa 45th floor ng hotel.
Marco Polo Ortigas Manila ay naka-dub bilang ang unang "sky hotel" ibig sabihin ang hotel ng mga kuwarto at mga amenities ay matatagpuan sa top 20 na palapag ng gusali ng hotel.
Noong 2016, ang pamamahala ng Marco Polo Ortigas Hotel ay conferred sa 2015 Spirit of Marco Polo Best Guest Award Experience besting ang iba pang mga hotel na pinamamahalaang sa pamamagitan ng Marco Polo Hotel Group. Ang hotel ay ibinigay din ng isang 5-star award ng Kagawaran ng Turismo sa parehong taon.
Jinjiang, Fujian

Ang Jinjiang (Tsinong pinapayak: 晋江; Tsinong tradisyonal: 晉江; pinyin: Jìnjiāng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chìn-kang) ay isang antas-kondado na lungsod ng Antas-prepektura na Lungsod ng Quanzhou, lalawigan ng Fujian, Tsina. Matatagpuan ito sa timog-silangang bahagi ng lalawigan, sa kanan o katimugang pampang ng Ilog Jin, sa kabilang panig mula sa distritong urbano ng Quanzhou na Fengze. Hinahangganan din ng Jinjiang ang Kipot ng Taiwan ng Dagat Silangang Tsina sa timog, at mga ibang antas-kondado na lungsod ng Quanzhou ng Shishi at Nan'an bawat isa sa silangan at kanluran. Mayroon itong lawak na 721.7 square kilometre (278.6 mi kuw) at populasyon na 1,986,447 magmula noong 2010.
Tanging Jinjiang lamang ang may nakatayo pa ring templong Manichean sa Tsina (Cao'an), at ito ay malapit sa silangang dulo ng tinatayang pinakamahabang deretsong-linya na daanan sa ibabaw ng lupa sa mundo, na may habang 11,241 km (6,985 mi) at nagtatapos malapit sa Sagres, Portugal.
Ang Jinjiang ay may anim na mga subdistrito at 13 mga bayan:
Kilala ang Jinjiang sa napakaraming mga pabrikang nakahimpil doon, lalo na sa industriya ng pananamit at tatak-pangalan na mga sapatos. Maraming mga manggagawang migrante ay mula sa ibang mga lugar ng Fujian at sa labas ng lalawigan upang mangako sa taunang mga kontrata.
Kilala ang Jinjiang bilang tahanan sa maraming Tsino na diaspora, lalo na sa Taiwan, Pilipinas, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Australya, at iba pa. Buhat ng kahirapan noong unang bahagi ng ika-19 na dantaon, lumipat ang maraming mga residente sa Timog-silangang Asya para sa inaasam na maginhawang buhay, tulad ng tinatawag nilang "xia nan yang, 下南洋", literal na "maglayág patungo sa katimugang karagatan" sa Tagalog. Karamihan sa kanila ay matagumpay na sumama sa mga lipunang pampook at nakatamo ng malaking tagumpay. Halimbawa, ayon sa Forbes, matutunton sa Jinjiang ang pinagmulan ng anim sa sampung pinakamayayamang mga negosyante sa Pilipinas. Kaya mula noong dekada-1980 hanggang dekada-1990 nakatanggap ang Jinjiang ng maraming handog at pamumuhunan mula sa ibayong-dagat na mga pamayanang Tsino. Ilan sa mga Tsinong Pilipino na buhat Jinjiang ay sina Henry Sy (1924–2019), tagapagtatag ng kompanyang SM Prime Holdings na namamahala sa SM Supermalls, at Dee C. Chuan (1888–1840), negosyante at pilantropong nakilala bilang "Lumber King of the Philippines."

Papa Leon XIII

Si Papa Leon XIII o Papa Leo XIII (2 Marso, 1810—20 Hulyo, 1903), ay isang paring Italyano at nagsilbi bilang Papa at tagapamahala ng Simbahang Katoliko. Ipinanganak bilang Konde Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci, ay ang ika-256 na Papa ng Simbahang Romano Katoliko, na namuno mula 1878 hanggang sa kaniyang kamatayan noong 1903, at pumalit kay Papa Pio IX. Naglingkod hanggang sa edad na 93, siya ang pinakamatandang papa, at ang ikatlong may pinakamahabang panahon sa pontipise, sa likod nina Papa Pio IX at Papa Juan Pablo II. Kilala siya bilang ang "Papa ng Manggagawang Tao" at "Ang Papang Panlipunan".
Bilang tagapagtaguyod ng karapatang panlipunan noong mga huling panahon ng ika-19 dantaon, iminungkahi niya ang pagbibili o pagbebenta ng mga lupaing Katoliko (pag-aari ng mga kapariang Kastila) na nasa Pilipinas.
Iginawad ni Papa Gregorio XVI kay Pecci ang pamagat na Monsignore (Monsinyor). Noong 1903, nagkaroon ng mga pagdiriwang ng Hubileong Ginintuan na bumalik-tanaw sa 50 mga taon magmula nang mapangalanan si Pecci bilang isang kardinal.
Noong 1846, dinalaw niya ang London kung saan nakaharap niya si Reyna Victoria.
Si Pecci ay naging Obispo ng Perugia sa loob ng 32 mga taon, magmula 1846 hanggang 1878.
Itinaas ni Papa Pio IX ang ranggo ni Pecci upang maging kardinal noong 1853.
Noong 1878, nahalal si Kardinal Pecci bilang Papa. Pagkaraan ng pagkahalal sa kaniya, hindi kailanman lumabas si Papa Leon sa hangganan ng mga tarangkahan ng Batikano. Nanungkulan si Papa Leon XIII hanggang sa edad na 93. Siya ang pinakamatandang papa at ang pangalawang may pinakamahabang pamumuno bilang papa bago ang pagiging papa ni Papa Juan Pablo II. Nakilala si Papa Leon XIII bilang ang "Papa ng Naghahanapbuhay na Tao."
Namatay si Papa Leo XIII sa edad na 93 dahil sa pulmonya at katandaan.
Ibinurol si Papa Leo XIII sa Basilika ni San Pedro. Inilibing siya sa Basilika na San Juan Laterano, na opisyal na luklukan ng Obispo ng Roma.
Talaan ng mga kalakhang pook sa Pilipinas

Ang Pilipinas ay mayroong tatlong mga kalakhang pook na tinukoy ng Pambansang Pangasiwaan sa Kabuhayan at Pagpapaunlad o (NEDA).
Pinakamalaking conurbation o aglomerasyong urbano ang Kalakhang Maynila sa bansa, at ang kinikilalang kalakhang pook nito ay binubuo ng lungsod ng Maynila at 15 mga karatig-lungsod at bayan ng Pateros. Pangalawang pinakamalaking pook urbano ang Kalakhang Cebu na matatagpuan sa Kabisayaan, habang pumapangatlo naman ang Kalakhang Dabaw na nasa Mindanao.
Ang opisyal na kahulugan ng bawat kalakhang pook ay hindi laging sumusunod sa tunay na saklaw ng patuloy na urbanisasyon. Halimbawa, matagal nang umabot ang built-up area ng Kalakhang Maynila sa mga kalapit na lalawigan ng Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, at Kabite, lampas sa kinikilalang mga hangganan nito.
Binawas ang bilang ng mga kalakhang pook sa Pilipinas sa kasalukuyang tatlo batay sa 2017-2022 Philippine Development Plan ng NEDA, mula sa dating labindalawa (18) noong 2018. Ang labing walong na iba pang mga kalakhang pook ay Kalakhang Angeles, Kalakhang Bacolod, Kalakhang Baguio, Kalakhang Batangas, Kalakhang Butuan, Kalakhang Cagayan de Oro, Kalakhang Dagupan, Kalakhang Heneral Santos, Kalakhang Iloilo–Guimaras, Kalakhang Laoag, Kalakhang Legazpi, Kalakhang Lucena, Kalakhang Naga, Kalakhang Olongapo, Kalakhang San Pablo, Kalakhang Tacloban, Kalakhang Tuguegarao at Kalakhang Vigan.
Puerto Princesa Cathedral

Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish, commonly known as Puerto Princesa Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan in western Philippines. It is in the Neo-Gothic architectural tradition and is the mother church of the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa which covers the municipalities of Palawan west of Puerto Princesa City. It is located at the border of Barangay Matiyaga Poblacion and Liwanag Poblacion, near the Port of Puerto Princesa. At 118° east longitude, it is the westernmost cathedral in the country.
The first Mass in Puerto Princesa, initially a barrio, was held at the site of the present cathedral on March 10, 1872, by the Augustinian Recollect Fray Ezequiél Moreno (now a saint), six days after the Spanish expedition arrived in the area. Subsequently, Moreno established the town and its parish mission under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.
During World War II, on December 14, 1944, the parish witnessed the Palawan massacre at the adjacent Plaza Cuartel where more or less 150 American soldiers were burned by the Imperial Japanese forces.
The church has been rebuilt several times since its establishment, wherein the present structure took almost a century before it was completed in 1961 to serve as a cathedral of the then Palawan Apostolic Vicariate under the helm of Most Rev. Gregorio I. Espiga. The facade and interior are reminiscent of the architecture of churches in Medieval Europe.
On December 8, 2014, on the cathedral's patronal feast day, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines unveiled a historical marker of Saint Ezequiél Moreno, underlining his contribution to the founding of the city. At present, the cathedral and the Rizal Park at its front, is usually included in the itinerary of city tour packages around Puerto Princesa, including, but not limited to Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm, Palawan Heritage Center, Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden and Tribal Village, and Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Crocodile Farm).
Plaza Moriones

Plaza Moriones is a major public square in Tondo, Manila. Unlike other squares in Manila, the plaza is in the shape of a linear park occupying the central median of Moriones Street, starting at the intersection of Moriones and Juan Luna Streets, and ending at the intersection with Santa Maria Street, bisected by Nicolas Zamora Street in the center. It is named after Governor-General Domingo Moriones y Muralla, responsible for the construction of Manila's sewerage system during his tenure from 1877 to 1881.
Originally an open green field lined with benches in colonial times, today the plaza is paved, with a size of 2,227 square meters (23,970 sq ft) and a capacity of 6,681 persons. Trees and benches line its entire length, and three fountains have been placed throughout the plaza. Flanked by paved roads, the central portion of the plaza resembles 19th century garden design with its plants such as bandera española (canna) flowers and palm trees. At the end of the plaza stands the Sigaw ng Tondo, a monument sculpted in 1978 by Eduardo Castrillo in memory of local victims fleeing Japanese forces during the Battle of Manila in 1945. In 2010, another monument was erected at the plaza in memory of Honorio Lopez, a Tondo-born playwright who fought in the Philippine Revolution. This monument was designed by Toym Imao.
Owing to its location in Tondo, a working-class area of Manila, Plaza Moriones serves as a center for Philippine political discourse, second only to Plaza Miranda in Quiapo in terms of importance. On May 1, 1903, thousands of members of the Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina, led by Isabelo de los Reyes, organized the Philippines' first Labor Day celebrations, with laborers such as tailors, mechanics, barbers and lithographers marching from the plaza to Malacañang Palace. Several years later, the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP) was established on November 7, 1930, at a public rally held at the plaza, attended by six thousand people. Currently, Plaza Moriones is designated as one of five freedom parks in the City of Manila, where protests and rallies may be held without requiring permission from local authorities.
Beyond politics, Plaza Moriones is also significant for its location close to the Port of Manila: in 1906, the first nuns of the Order of Saint Benedict assigned to the Philippines arrived from Germany, landing at the plaza.
San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk

The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk is a hotel located in San Antonio, Texas, USA. At a tip height of 546 feet (166 meters), the 38-floor hotel is the tallest building in San Antonio and second tallest structure in the city (the Tower of the Americas is taller). It is also the tallest hotel in Texas outside of Dallas. Its roof height, however, is 441 feet (134 meters), 3 feet shorter than the Weston Centre.
The hotel, which was completed in 1988, is located across the Riverwalk from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and overlooks the Rivercenter lagoon, an expansion branch of the San Antonio River Walk. The hotel is connected to the Rivercenter Mall at two levels and has direct access to the Riverwalk. The building was designed by RTKL Associates and is intended to emulate the twin bell towers of Mission Concepcion or the Cathedral of San Fernando.
The hotel is currently owned by Host Hotels and Resorts, along with the neighboring property Marriott RiverWalk located directly across Commerce St.
Both properties are managed by Marriott International.
Exterior shots of the building were used for the purgatory, "13th Floor" home of a newlywed couple that crashed into the building in the short lived Aaron Spelling syndicated television show Heaven Help Us.

Hagia Triada Church, Istanbul

Hagia Triada ("Holy Trinity"; Greek: Ιερός Ναός Αγίας Τριάδος, romanized: Ierós Naós Agías Triádos; Turkish: Aya Triada Rum Ortodoks Kilisesi) is a Greek Orthodox church in Istanbul, Turkey. The building was erected in 1880 and is considered the largest Greek Orthodox shrine in Istanbul today. It is still in use by the Greek community of Istanbul. It has about 150 parishioners. The church is located in the district of Beyoğlu, in the neighborhood of Katip Çelebi, on Meşelik sokak, near Taksim Square.
The property where the Church stands used to be the site of a Greek Orthodox cemetery and hospital. This was demolished in order to build the Church. Its construction, based on the designs of the Ottoman Greek architect P. Kampanaki, began on 13 August 1876 and was completed on 14 September 1880. The Church is built in neo-baroque style with elements of a basilica, and with the unusual features of twin bell towers, a large dome and a neo-Gothic facade. The Hagia Triada was the first domed Christian church that was allowed to be built in Istanbul after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.
Architectural elements such as the dome of the church were only allowed after 1839 during a period known as the Tanzimat under which the restrictions limiting the Freedom of Speech for minorities were loosened and domes were allowed to be constructed as design features of Christian churches.
The paintings and decorations of the church's interior are the work of painter Sakellarios Megaklis, while the marble works and designs were created by sculptor Alexandros Krikelis. On Church grounds there is also a school, Zapyon Rum Lisesi (Zappeion Greek Lyceum), which continues to serve the Greek community of Istanbul. In the church courtyard there are additional buildings dedicated to social services and also a sacred spring.
The Hagia Triada Church was damaged and set on fire during the Istanbul pogrom of 6–7 September 1955 by an organized mob attack directed primarily at Istanbul's Greek minority. During the unrest, the Church was wrecked and pillaged but withstood an attempted arson attack by the rioters. According to ethnic Armenian actor Nubar Terziyan, who witnessed the incident, the mob arrived at the Church and started the fire by dumping kerosene onto the Church and lighting it with burning sticks.
Decades after the events, industrialist and businessman Panagiotis Angelopoulos, who was given the titles Megas Archon Logothetes and Great Benefactor by the Patriarchate of Constantinople, donated the sum of US$90,000 to Patriarch Bartholomew; the funds were used for repairs and renovations of the church which lasted two years.
The inauguration took place on 23 March 2003 and the official opening of the gate of the church was attended by many officials of the Greek Orthodox Church as well as the consuls general of Greece, France and Germany and hundreds of people from Istanbul and Greece. The inaugural speech was delivered by Patriarch Bartholomew. The church is now used on a daily basis.

Filipinos in the United Kingdom

Filipinos in the United Kingdom are British citizens or immigrants who are of Filipino ancestry.
The 2001 UK Census recorded 40,118 people born in the Philippines. The 2011 census recorded 117,457 people born in the Philippines resident in England, 5,168 in Wales, 4,264 in Scotland and 2,947 in Northern Ireland, making a total of 129,836. The Office for National Statistics estimates that, in 2015, the equivalent figure was 132,000.
According to The Manila Times, there were approximately 200,000 Filipinos living in the United Kingdom in 2007. In 2007, 10,840 Filipinos gained British citizenship, the second largest number of any nation after India, compared to only 1,385 in 2001.
The largest Filipino community in the United Kingdom is in and around London, based around Earl's Court. Filipinos also account for the largest foreign-born population in the London Borough of Sutton. Other towns and cities with significant Filipino communities include Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Southampton, Worthing, Gloucester and Barrow-in-Furness, which is home to a sizeable flourishing Filipino community. Fiestas are held during June, July and August in various cities throughout the UK.
According to the Institute for Public Policy Research, 85.4 per cent of new immigrant Filipinos to the UK of working age are employed (as opposed to inactive - a category which includes students - or unemployed), with 12.8% being low earners (people making less than £149.20 a week – half the UK median wage) and 0.61 per cent are high earners (people earning more than £750 a week). 78% of settled Filipino immigrants to the UK are employed, with 15.4% being low earners and 1.28 per cent being high earners. In 2020, 18,500 Filipinos were employed by the National Health Service; as of April 2020, of NHS workers who have died of COVID-19, 20% were Filipino.
Filipino community groups in the UK include:
The 'Barrio Fiesta sa London', a two-day annual festival formerly held in Lampton Park, Hounslow, West London, is perhaps the best known and largest gathering for the community in the UK, which was launched in 1985. Since then, smaller versions of the festival have been held at various locations across the UK, with the original festival receiving well over 30,000 visitors in a single day. It is organised and run by The Philippine Centre but draws Filipino community groups and businesses from all over the UK. The Barrio Fiesta sa London moved location in 2013 and is now held in Apps Court Farm, Walton-on-Thames.
Plaza de Roma

Plaza de Roma, also known as Plaza Roma, is one of three major public squares in Intramuros, Manila. It is bounded by Andres Soriano Avenue (formerly Calle Aduana) to the north, Cabildo Street to the east, Santo Tomas Street to the south, and General Antonio Luna Street (formerly Calle Real del Palacio) to the west. The plaza is considered to be the center of Intramuros.
Plaza de Roma is also the location of the Book Stop Intramuros, a local unit of The Book Stop Project.
During Spanish colonial times, the plaza was the Plaza Mayor of Manila, and was considered the center of the city. Bullfights and other public events were held in the plaza until Governor-General Rafael Maria de Aguilar converted it into a garden in 1797. It was often referred to as the Plaza de Armas, not to be confused with the Plaza de Armas inside Fort Santiago, during this time.
In 1901, with the start of American rule, the plaza was renamed Plaza McKinley, after U.S. President William McKinley, who authorized the colonization of the Philippines by the United States. The plaza was given its current name in 1961, following the elevation of Rufino Santos to the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church as the first Filipino cardinal. In recognition of this, the city of Rome reciprocated by renaming one of its squares Piazzale Manila.
Its current configuration as a garden does not allow Plaza de Roma to function as a public square, like Plaza Miranda and Plaza Moriones. The Intramuros Administration plans to revert the square to its appearance in the Spanish Era.
Plaza de Roma is surrounded by three important landmarks of Intramuros: the Manila Cathedral to the south, the Palacio del Gobernador to the west, and the Casas Consistoriales, also known as the Ayuntamiento de Manila, to the east. The Real Audiencia of Manila was located in proximity to the plaza during Spanish rule.
At the center of Plaza de Roma is a monument to Charles IV of Spain which was erected in 1824 in his honor for having sent the first batch of smallpox vaccine to the Philippines. A fountain surrounding the monument was erected in 1886. In the 1960s, the monument was replaced with a monument dedicated to the Gomburza.
In 1978, President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the restoration of the Plaza de Roma along with other sites in Intramuros. The work was completed by the then-newly established Intramuros Administration in 1980 and the original Charles IV was re-installed in the plaza in 1981. The Gomburza monument was relocated to the site fronting the National Art Gallery Building of the National Museum.
The Plaza Roma is also the location of the Book Stop Intramuros, a local unit of The Book Stop Project.
Nana Plaza

Nana Plaza (formerly Nana Entertainment Plaza) is an entertainment complex and red-light district in Bangkok, Thailand. Originally built as a shopping center, Nana Plaza occupies a three-story commercial building in the Khlong Toei District of Bangkok about 300 metres (330 yd) from the BTS Skytrain's Nana Station. It describes itself as the "worlds largest adult playground". Its name originates from the influential, property-holding Nana family, Lek Nana being the most prominent member.
Along with Soi Cowboy and Patpong, Nana Plaza is one of Bangkok's three most concentrated red-light districts. All attract primarily tourists.
The plaza's U-shaped building is roughly square-shaped, with a single opening on the west side, and consists of a ground floor and two additional floors arranged around a courtyard. It started as a restaurant and shopping center in the late-1970s. During the early-1980s, a few go-go bars appeared and gradually replaced the shops and restaurants. By the mid-1980s around twenty go-go bars had opened in the three-level court, taking advantage of the expansion of tourist hotels in the area.
In 2012 Nana Plaza was sold to a Thai JVC company Nana Partners Co Ltd., co-owned by Fico corporation and Panthera Group (formally known as Eclipse group) – one of Thailand's largest bar and nightclub operators – for a rumored US$25,000,000 after the land was inherited by seven sisters who wanted nothing to do with a red-light area. Panthera Group renovated the complex, becoming the landlord and providing the management and security services.
Three short-time hotels, one of which has been renovated, operate on the top floor. Short-time hotels rent out rooms by the hour or more to patrons to take a bargirl for sex. Most bar girls in Nana Plaza will leave with customers upon payment of a bar fine. Smoking is banned indoors. There are two elevators, one on the north side of the building and one on the south. The building closes at 03:00 and lies dormant until the following evening. In 2016 two waitresses in the plaza's Bangkok Bunnies go-go bar said that they received monthly wages equivalent to £130 (US$165) and daily tips equivalent to £11–16 (US$14–20). This compares with a 2016 average monthly wage in Thailand of around 13,800 baht (US$388).
As of July 2019, Nana Plaza housed 30 bars and three "hotels".
As of July 2019, there were seven kathoey ("ladyboy") bars in Nana Plaza; Several other bars have a few ladyboys in their line-ups mixed with their regular go-go dancers.
