Maria Fumaça

Maria Fumaça is the debut album by Brazilian Funk band Banda Black Rio released in 1977 vinyl format by Atlantic Records (BR 20.022) and issued in 1994 CD format by WEA Music and distributed by Warner Music Brasil (450996349-2). It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history.
The album cover has two overlapping images of the seven members in circle. Photographer Sebastião Barbosa wanted to create a kaleidoscope-like image, but they only managed to take two photos, because as they prepared the second, the camera accidentally fell and hit Barrosinho's face, resulting in a big hematoma in his forehead which was pictured on the cover. The back cover has a picture of the members taken with fisheye lens.
Pavilhão da Maria Fumaça

The Pavilhão da Maria Fumaça (Steam Train Pavilion) is a tourist attraction in Guarujá, Brazil. It houses the steam locomotive that took tourists from a station in the Itapema estuary to the front of the Grande Hotel on Pitangueiras beach. At the end of the 1910s, the branch on which the aforementioned steam locomotive - "Maria Fumaça" - was deactivated and a highway was built. Until 2017, the Maria Fumaça pavilion was symmetrically paired with the Santos-Dumont hearse pavilion, but in 2017 the city council chose to remove the car from the pavilion.
Carlos Barbosa

Carlos Barbosa is a town in the wine country in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. It is situated at 29º17'51" South and 51º30'13" West, at an altitude of 676 meters. Its population was estimated in 2020 to be 30,241 inhabitants. It has an area of 208,16 km sq.
The city is linked by railroad line to Bento Gonçalves and the Maria Fumaça tourist train runs between both cities.
The town is named after governor Carlos Barbosa Gonçalves.
Metallurgy company Tramontina and dairy company Cooperativa Santa Clara are based in Carlos Barbosa. Also, the Associação Carlos Barbosa de Futsal is one of the major futsal clubs in South America.
Banda Black Rio

Banda Black Rio is a Brazilian musical group from Rio de Janeiro that was formed in 1976. It has a repertoire based on funk but also including samba, jazz and Brazilian rhythms.
Compared to other soul-funk groups, such as Kool & the Gang and Earth, Wind and Fire, Banda Black Rio developed a particular style of instrumental soul music fusing together elements from a number of genres.
WEA had just been established in Brazil, and they wanted to create a band that could be the pioneer of this movement; so they contacted Oberdan Magalhães, a renowned saxophonist, who accepted the challenge together with trumpet player Barrosinho, keyboards and arrangements Cristovão Bastos, guitars and arrangements Claudio Stevenson, bass Jamil Joanes, trombone Lucio Silva and formed Banda Black Rio. Mixing R&B, jazz and samba elements, Banda Black Rio was one of the first to undertake the fusion of Essential Brazilian Music with International Black Music. They were brought together in 1976. Banda Black Rio was often associated with soul-funk bands such as Kool & the Gang, Earth, Wind and Fire, Herbie Hancock, and others.
The band recorded six albums: the instrumental Maria Fumaça (1977), Gafieira Universal (1978) and Saci Pererê (1980). They were also invited to take part in other artists' albums, such as Luiz Melodia, Raul Seixas, Sandra de Sa, Emilio Santiago, Alcione, Carlos Dafe, and recorded a live album with Caetano Veloso entitled Bicho Baile Show and Global Brazilians in 1985. The album was released in 1995.
The present band are the sons of the original members. Two albums came out from this new generation of Black Rio. Rebirth released in the 2001 and Supernova samba funk in 2012.
Dona Joaninha

Dona Joaninha or Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana 6 is a steam locomotive (with the uncommon 2-6-4 wheel arrangement) that is now on static display in Guarulhos, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Constructed in 1940, it was used to move sugar cane across Brazil until the 1960s. A scrap dealer purchased it around 1976, and it was then put on static display around 2000. After falling into disrepair, it was restored in 2020.
It was the second locomotive constructed by João Bottene of Bottene & Filhos. It was built around the chassis, wheels, and steam pipes of an EFS locomotive, with a new boiler, water tank, cabin, rear bogie, and firewood bunker, assembled in a workshop at Usina Monte Alegre. It used a 1 metre (3.3 ft) gauge, and weighed 150 tonnes, with a pulling capacity of 1300 tonnes. It was named Dona Joaninha after Dona Joana Morganti, who owned the workshop. It was inaugurated in January 1940.
The locomotive was used to move sugar cane on the Usina Tamoio private railroad, in Araraquara, which ended at the Tamoio station near São Carlos. It was in use until the line closed in the mid-1960s.
After the line closed, the locomotive was kept on the railroad's premises until around 1976, when it was purchased by a scrap dealer based in Guarulhos. After being moved there, the scrap dealer partnered with the Guarulhos city hall to put the locomotive on display around 2000 in Praça IV Centenário (now known as Praça Paschoal Thomeu), which is at the former location of the Guarulhos Station of the Cantareira Tramway.
While on display in the park, it fell into disrepair, with a tree falling on the chimney, denting it, along with rust and decay due to a lack of maintenance. It is not protected against people climbing on it. Originally painted green when it was installed in the park, it turned black, and then multicoloured through graffiti. Nearby Portuguese pavement was left as a rubble heap. The local government started seeking private funding to repair the locomotive in 2017.
Restoration work started in July 2020, funded by local companies, with coordination by the Secretaria de Meio Ambiente (Sema) but with no funding from the city. Rusted parts were replaced, the chimney repaired, and graffiti removed, before it was repainted and lights installed. It was also enclosed by railings.

Estrada de Ferro Central de Pernambuco

Estrada de Ferro Central de Pernambuco (EFCP) was a Brazilian railway company based in Recife. Established in 1879, the company was named Estrada de Ferro Recife–Caruaru (EFRC) until 1890.
The Estrada de Ferro Central de Pernambuco was built to facilitate communication and trade between Recife and the rural interior of Pernambuco. At its peak in 1896, it reached a length of 180 km. The EFCP was abolished in 1904 and its railway network was incorporated into the Great Western of Brazil Railway.
The government Pernambuco signed a contract with Bento José da Costa Júnior on February 10, 1874, aiming to build the first section of the Estrada de Ferro Recife–Caruaru. The purpose of the railway was to improve the flow of commerce between Recife and the rural agricultural region of Pernambuco.
Based on studies on the railway route, completed in 1878, it was determined that the railway bound for Caruaru would include the then village of Jaboatão in its railway network. The report delivered to the Ministry of Agriculture concludes that the route of the Estrada de Ferro Recife–Caruaru would cover an area with around two hundred sugarcane engenhos.
Construction began in 1881, with excavation and earthworks in the section between Recife and Jaboatão. Initially operating on a 17 km route, the first section of the EFCR opened in 1885. Years after the inauguration of the previous section, in 1894 the railway arrived in Gravatá. The slow expansion of the Estrada de Ferro Central de pernambuco is attributed to the challenges faced in crossing the Serra das Russas, a treacherous area of the Borborema Plateau. The development of this new segment required the construction of many infrastructure elements, including the creation of nine viaducts and the building of twenty-one tunnels. The railway reached Caruaru in 1895.
The EFCP reached a maximum length of 180 km in 1896, when the Antonio Olinto station was opened, in the city of Tacaimbó.
The company remained in activity until 1904 when it was dissolved and its railway network incorporated into that of the Great Western of Brazil Railway.

A Steam Train Passes

A Steam Train Passes, a 1974 Australian short film set in the 1940s, offers a beautifully nostalgic and imaginative exploration of legendary NSWGR C38 class locomotive 3801 and its place in Australian life.
The opening sequence is a 1943 black-and-white Cinesound newsreel Monarch of the Rails showing the locomotive being built. The film then changes to colour and shows the locomotive at the Enfield Locomotive Depot, then the home of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum. The fireman lights the fire and the driver inspects the locomotive. When ready the locomotive is turned on the turntable.
The main part of the film shows the train travelling through the New South Wales countryside through disparate locations including the Sydney suburbs, Hawkesbury River Railway Bridge, Ten Tunnels Deviation, Polona signal box Blayney station and the Picton-Mittagong loop line. These scenes are interspersed with vignettes of life the 1940s including a travelling salesman, a country wedding in a church at Georges Plains, and two soldiers heading off to war, having their last drink in a pub, the Hotel Alexander in Rydal. All linked in to the train journey.
There is no commentary, and most of the audio is live sound of the train, with some overlaid with original music by George Dreyfus. Cinematography was by Academy Award winner, Dean Semler (Dances With Wolves).
There are no speaking parts so the actors are not credited. The only "acting" credits are for the driver Chris O'Sullivan and fireman Harold Fowler, both employees of the Public Transport Commission. Cecil Barnes is the fireman in the last scenes of the film. He and the driver in that scene are intended to be 'earlier' incarnations of the credited driver and fireman.
A Steam Train Passes is one of Film Australia's most successful films. It has won many awards and is generally regarded as Australia's finest railway film.
Awards include:
Footage from this film has become almost stock footage for other productions requiring footage of a steam train. Footage has been used in Sarah, The Winds of Jarrah, Sirens, Rabbit-Proof Fence, True Believers, Curtin and several documentaries.
The original negative is preserved at the National Film and Sound Archive.
In 2012, the National Film and Sound Archive restored and digitally remastered the film. Film Australia made it available on YouTube on 27 August of that year.
In 2024, NFSA remastered the film in stunning 4K resolution.
Trem das Onze

"Trem das Onze" (English: "The 11 o’clock Train") is a samba composition by Brazilian singer-songwriter Adoniran Barbosa. Released in 1964 and made famous that same year by the samba group Demônios da Garoa, it is one of the best known Brazilian popular songs and considered one of the most representative cultural symbols of the city of São Paulo.
In the song, Barbosa portrays in his signature-style witty and somewhat tragicomic lyrics the drama of a lover who lives in the distant Jaçanã suburb of São Paulo, and who cannot stay longer with his beloved woman because the last train will be departing soon, at 11 p.m., and his mother won't sleep until he gets home.
The song is an example of both the classic paulista samba, the variant of samba developed in São Paulo, and the use of a composition structure known as "samba-de-breque" (literally brake samba), where the instrumental accompaniment stops suddenly, giving room to a brief commentary in spoken word about the lyric subject by the lead singer, very much like opening parenthesis.
The song was voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the 15th greatest Brazilian song.

Büchner flask

A Büchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, filter flask, suction flask, side-arm flask, or Bunsen flask, is a thick-walled Erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an inch from its neck.
The short tube and hose barb effectively act as an adapter over which the end of a thick-walled flexible hose (tubing) can be fitted to form a connection to the flask. The other end of the hose can be connected to source of vacuum such as an aspirator, vacuum pump, or house vacuum. Preferably this is done through a trap (see below), which is designed to prevent the sucking back of water from the aspirator into the Büchner flask. The purpose of applying a vacuum is to speed the filtration by providing a pressure differential across the filter medium that is greater than that produced by gravity alone.
The thick wall of the Büchner flask provides it the strength to withstand the pressure difference while holding a vacuum inside. It is primarily used together with a Büchner funnel fitted through a drilled rubber bung or an elastomer adapter (a Büchner ring) at the neck on top of the flask for the filtration of samples. The Büchner funnel holds the sample isolated from the suction by a layer of filter paper. During filtration, the filtrate enters and is held by the flask while the residue remains on the filter paper in the funnel.
The Büchner flask can also be used as a vacuum trap in a vacuum line to ensure that no fluids are carried over from the aspirator or vacuum pump (or other vacuum source) to the evacuated apparatus or vice versa.
The flask is named after the industrial chemist Ernst Büchner, who invented it, despite the mistaken belief held by many people that it's named after chemist and Nobel Laureate Eduard Buchner.
Laboratory flask

Laboratory flasks are vessels or containers that fall into the category of laboratory equipment known as glassware. In laboratory and other scientific settings, they are usually referred to simply as flasks. Flasks come in a number of shapes and a wide range of sizes, but a common distinguishing aspect in their shapes is a wider vessel "body" and one (or sometimes more) narrower tubular sections at the top called necks which have an opening at the top. Laboratory flask sizes are specified by the volume they can hold, typically in metric units such as milliliters (mL or ml) or liters (L or l). Laboratory flasks have traditionally been made of glass, but can also be made of plastic.
At the opening(s) at top of the neck of some glass flasks such as round-bottom flasks, retorts, or sometimes volumetric flasks, there are outer (or female) tapered (conical) ground glass joints. Some flasks, especially volumetric flasks, come with a laboratory rubber stopper, bung, or cap for capping the opening at the top of the neck. Such stoppers can be made of glass or plastic. Glass stoppers typically have a matching tapered inner (or male) ground glass joint surface, but often only of stopper quality. Flasks which do not come with such stoppers or caps included may be capped with a rubber bung or cork stopper.
Flasks can be used for making solutions or for holding, containing, collecting, or sometimes volumetrically measuring chemicals, samples, solutions, etc. for chemical reactions or other processes such as mixing, heating, cooling, dissolving, precipitation, boiling (as in distillation), or analysis.
There are several types of laboratory flasks, all of which have different functions within the laboratory. Flasks, because of their use, can be divided into:
Many of these flasks can be wrapped in a protective outer layer of glass, leaving a gap between the inner and outer walls. These are called jacketed flasks; they are often used in a reaction using a cooling fluid.
Like many other common pieces of glassware, Erlenmeyer flasks could potentially be used in the production of drugs. In an effort to reduce their proliferation by theft from education institutions where they are commonly stored, some U.S. states (including Texas) have requirements to audit and report unusual inventory discrepancies (not from wear or breakage). Reporting requirements also cover chemicals identified as common starting materials.
Arroz negro (cocina española)

El arroz negro es un plato de arroz seco típico de la cocina española, concretamente del área de Cataluña y la Comunidad Valenciana. Hay platos similares en la cocina italiana. Se prepara en sartén o en cazuela de barro, y tiene un aspecto y sabor característicos que lo diferencian del arroz a banda, usando una base de morralla (pescado de roca para sopa o para comer frito) en el caldo, un sofrito de cebollas y ajos picados, y trozos de sepia, calamar y gambitas, junto con la tinta natural del calamar que desprende el propio animal (son unas bolsas de tinta que están entre las barbas del molusco). La tinta se le añade al arroz en el caldo de cocción y es lo que le da el color que le da nombre.
Es un plato que aparece en diversas zonas del mediterráneo.​ Existe en Italia, donde se puede degustar el riso nero a la Fiorentina o el mismo riso al nero di seppia. En la cocina española es frecuente en la Comunidad Valenciana y en Cataluña, lugares donde se llama arròs negre. Es típico del Grao de la ciudad de Castellón, así como de pueblos pesqueros del litoral alicantino: Torrevieja, Guardamar, Santa Pola, Villajoyosa. Propio también de la costa catalana especialmente la del Ampurdán en Gerona, es un plato típico de la villa de Palafrugell.
El plato se suele servir en la sartén o recipiente en el que se haya cocido el arroz. Se come recién elaborado. Suele ponerse una salsera con alioli en la mesa para que los comensales puedan mezclar esta salsa en el plato de arroz, o bien ponerse en el emplatado una pequeña porción (nuez) como acompañamiento
Fideuá

La fideuá​ (en valenciano fideuada​ o, coloquialmente, fideuà)​ es un plato originario de Gandía (Comunidad Valenciana, España) que se elabora de forma parecida a la paella, aunque basado en fideos en lugar de arroz. Sus ingredientes principales son: fideos finos o gruesos de pasta, caldo de morralla, pescado —suele usarse rape u otro pescado de carne consistente—, y mariscos como sepia y gambones. Se puede aderezar con alioli y tomate.
La versión más conocida del origen de la fideuá narra que surgió a raíz de que Gabriel Rodríguez Pastor, cocinero de una embarcación pesquera del puerto de Gandía, cambiase su receta del arroz a banda y, en vez de hacerla con arroz, añadiese fideos a su caldo de pescado. Este cambio se debió a que el patrón de la embarcación en la que trabajaba era un aficionado del arroz y muchas veces dejaba a sus marineros sin su ración correspondiente. Por este motivo, el cocinero Rodríguez Pastor decidió cambiar el arroz por fideos.​
Otra versión atribuye el origen a Emilio López Bonías en Gandía en los años cincuenta.​
Este invento culinario gustó mucho y se expandió por los restaurantes de la ciudad de Gandía, popularizándose así la fideuá.
Al igual que la paella, se hace en el recipiente también llamado paella o paellera, es decir en sartén ancha y plana, aunque se citan otras variantes tradicionales hechas en cazuela.
Tinta de calamar

La tinta de calamar es una especie de pigmento oscuro que desprenden algunos cefalópodos, por regla general se trata de una estrategia de evasión. Todos los cefalópodos, con la excepción de los Nautilidae y la especie de los octopus que pertenecen a la suborden de los Cirrina,​ son capaces de emitir este pigmento, que popularmente se denomina tinta.
Esta tinta sale de unas glándulas de tinta ubicadas entre las branquias de los cefalópodos. La tinta se expulsa por las aberturas (sifón) laterales, cuando el cefalópodo se encuentra en peligro, dejando un rastro oscuro que permite desorientar al atacante. El color oscuro del pigmento se debe a su contenido en melanina. De la misma forma la tinta posee dopamina, la tirosinasa, la levodopa.​ El color de la tinta de cada cefalópodo no es igual. La denominación del color sepia se refiere al color que deja la sepia.
La tinta de Sepia officinalis forma una suspensión polidispersa compuesta por partículas esféricas, con un tamaño entre 80 y 150 nm (medido por TRPS y SEM). Las partículas de tinta tienen una densidad de 1.27 g cm, que puede deberse a la cantidad de metales que tiene en su composición (4.7% en peso).​
La tinta de cefalópodo contiene una serie de substancias químicas cuya concentración depende de la especie. Puede contener, entre otras cosas, tirosinasa, dopamina y L-DOPA, así como pequeñas cantidades de aminoácidos libres, que incluyen taurina, ácido aspártico, ácido glutámico, alanina y lisina.​
Se suele emplear principalmente en la cocina, generalmente en las cocinas del área del mediterráneo. En la cocina española para realizar diversas preparaciones de calamar y sus propias salsas. Su color negro hace que los platos posean un color negro característico. Una de las preparaciones españolas más típicas es el calamares en su tinta. El arroz negro plato de arroz preparado con la tinta de calamar. Una variante del arroz negro son los fideos negros. Igualmente se tienen las patatas negras, etc. En la cocina italiana se emplea igualmente en la elaboración de los spaghetti al nero di seppia (espaguetis al negro de sepia).
En edafología, se han hecho experimentos de transporte usando tinta de Sepia officinalis (eumelanina) como un sustituto de virus, bacterias y contaminantes particulados, para examinar como se produce el flujo de estas substancias hacia aguas subterráneas. Se eligió este tipo de eumelanina debido a que posee las características adecuadas: partículas esféricas, estables en suspensión y con un tamaño similar al de muchos virus (entre 80 y 150 μm). Además, las moléculas de tinta son baratas y respetuosas con el medio ambiente.​
Calamares en su tinta

Los calamares en su tinta son un plato elaborado con pequeños trozos de calamares (incluidos los tentáculos) cocinados en su propia tinta.​ Por regla general este plato requiere tiempo para poder ser elaborado y por eso, en España, es frecuente encontrarlo en conserva disponible en cualquier supermercado.
La receta se elabora con calamares rehogados a la sartén en una mezcla de diversas verduras.​ La añadidura de la tinta del calamar le confiere su color negro característico. A la hora de servir suele acompañarse de arroz (arroz con calamares en su tinta) o patatas fritas y la salsa negra suele elaborarse ligeramente, no necesariamente, con picante para que sea posible realzar los sabores del conjunto. Puede encontrarse a veces como aperitivo.​ La variante en conserva que se ofrece en lata suele estar sumergido en abundante aceite de oliva.
Calamar (gastronomía)

El calamar es un alimento popular en muchas partes del mundo. El cuerpo (manto) puede rellenarse o cortarse en filetes planos o aros. La forma más frecuente de prepararlo es cortado en aros (o en bastones) y en fritura, siendo también popular a la plancha, relleno y guisado, muchas veces en su propia tinta, que participa como ingrediente en algunas recetas. Las patas, tentáculos y tinta son comestibles. Las únicas partes que no pueden aprovecharse son el pico y el jibión.
Los calamares fritos son muy populares en los países mediterráneos. Suelen prepararse en rodajas, rebozados y fritos, con frecuencia poco tiempo para evitar que se pongan demasiado duros. Suelen presentarse con sal y limón (como muchos otros mariscos, se acompañan de un trozo de limón para condimentarlo al gusto), o con alguna salsa como mahonesa, alioli, salsa verde o tzatziki.
En España son frecuentes dos variantes de los calamares fritos: las puntillas (también conocidas como puntillitas o chopitos), que son calamares pequeños rebozados y fritos enteros, y los calamares a la romana, que son anillas de calamar cubiertas de un rebozado mucho más espeso, fritas y servidas con zumo de limón, mahonesa o alioli. El bocadillo de calamares fritos es típico de Madrid.
En Estados Unidos son frecuentes en restaurantes italianos, griegos y turcos, y en restaurantes especializados en marisco. Se suelen servir de aperitivo, acompañados de perejil o espolvoreados con parmesano, y con salsas como la marinera, tártara o cóctel. En México se sirven a menudo con salsa tabasco o chile habanero.
En Australia los calamares fritos son populares en los establecimientos fish and chips, encontrándose también sucedáneos hechos con pescado blanco.
En la cocina china, los calamares suelen cortarse en tacos, salpimentarse y rebozarse. Se sirven con una salsa picante de chile.
Se han registrado alergias a los calamares.​
Arroz negro (variedad)

El arroz negro es de origen chino y su consumo estaba reservado a la nobleza.​
En la actualidad se cultiva en diversos países como Indonesia, en la región de Inakadate en Japón, en Italia, Malasia, Vietnam, en Cuba, Estados Unidos o recientemente producido en Costa Rica.
Tiene un alto valor nutritivo y su gusto recuerda el de las avellanas y el pan caliente. Es rico en hierro y en fibra. Su color violeta oscuro se debe principalmente a la elevada presencia de antocianina. Su contenido mineral (incluyendo el hierro) es relativamente alto y, como la mayoría de los arroces, contiene varios aminoácidos importantes.
Arroz negro (cocina mexicana)

El arroz negro es un platillo mexicano con arroz, cebolla, ajo y caldo de frijoles negros, lo que le da su nombre. En la gastronomía yucateca se aromatiza con epazote, mientras que en la oaxaqueña se sustituye por hoja de aguacate.​
Para obtener el caldo, se cuecen en agua unos frijoles negros junto con cebolla y manteca. Otras recetas fríen la cebolla picada junto con el ajo en abundante aceite. Se agrega el arroz y se nacara ligeramente. Finalmente se agrega el caldo de los frijoles negros que ya se cocieron y colaron previamente, se aromatiza con unas hojas de epazote u hoja de aguacate y sal. Si se desea enchilar, se pueden agregar rajas de chile serrano. Así se tapa y se cuece a fuego lento hasta que esté al dente.
Calamares fritos

Los calamares fritos son una típica preparación de distintas gastronomías del mundo, como la española, la francesa, la turca o la filipina. Consiste en calamares cortados en tiras o aros que se rebozan en harina y se fríen en abundante aceite. En muchos países se consideran una comida callejera. En España se consideran una tapa (aperitivo) y se encuentra fácilmente en los bares y restaurantes, especialmente la zona costera.
Los calamares se suelen limpiar por dentro y se escaldan en agua durante un rato. El cuerpo se corta por regla general en anillos antes de ser rebozado y frito en aceite muy caliente (generalmente a temperaturas de 160 °C). Los calamares así preparados suelen ir a una fuente con una rodaja de limón, o a veces se sirven como bocadillo (bocadillo de calamares). En los países del área mediterránea es tan popular que se pueden encontrar ya preparados para freír en la mayoría de los supermercados en su zona de congelados.​
Otra variante es rebozarlos en harina de garbanzos, modificando su textura -quedan más crujientes- y sabor. Típico de frituras y rebozados del sur de España.
A su vez las rabas de Cantabria pueden ser clasificadas por la raza del calamar con que son cocinadas. Éste puede ser magano, peludín o rejo, siendo el más apreciado el magano pescado a guadañeta, arte de pesca tradicional con que se pescan los cefalópodos de esta raza de unos 12 cm de longitud.​ Las rabas de este tipo son denominadas "rabas de magano" o "rabas blancas".
En España son conocidos como calamares fritos, calamares a la romana, rabas o calamares a la andaluza. Se sirven generalmente como una tapa en muchos bares, o como raciones. Como algunos otros platos de marisco se suelen servir junto con una rodaja de limón, para exprimirla sobre la ración si el consumidor así lo desea.
En Francia, son típicos de la cocina provenzal y del Languedoc, pero también de la cocina del Rosellón. Se pueden freír después de cubrir de masa liquída o solo enharinar antes de freírlos. Se conocen como fritots de calamars.​
En Filipinas, los calamares fritos son llamados simplemente como kalamares, o a veces pritong pusit (literalmente, 'calamares fritos' en idioma filipino). Son una popular comida callejera en todo el país, y se vende acompañado de alguna salsa como alioli, mayonesa o vinagre picante.
Los calamares fritos son comunes a las cocinas de muchos países de la ribera del Mediterráneo; por ejemplo en Turquía son muy populares con el nombre kalamar tava ('calamar frito' en turco).​ Esta variante se come con salsa tarator.
En otros países suelen servirse un plato preparado de forma muy similar pero servido con las salsas nacionales o más populares de la zona. De esta forma en México se suele tomar con tabasco u otras salsas picantes y en Perú se suelen hacer y servir con salsa criolla, rocoto y yuca sancochada. En la cocina china se suele picar el calamar y se recubre después con sal y harina junto con abundante chili, elaborándose así un plato muy similar al descrito.

Vips (Mexican restaurant)

Vips is a restaurant chain of casual full-service restaurants across Mexico and Spain founded by the Arango brothers and owned by Alsea, a Mexican hospitality and retail conglomerate. Visually and in the type and quality of service, they are similar to a U.S. "coffee shop" or diner such as Denny's, and compete with Sanborns, Toks and Wings with the format. The chain's restaurants are located in Mexico and Spain and operate in more than 70 cities and now has 260 restaurants serving around 9 million customers a year.
The firm was founded in 1964 in Mexico City by brothers Jerónimo, Plácido and Manuel Arango (also founding owners of the hypermarket Aurrerá and the mass-market department store Suburbia), while they founded Vips in Spain – the birth country of the brothers' parents – in 1969, at the initiative of Plácido. At first, the restaurant was called VIP (an acronym for Very Important People) but as the public commonly called it "Vips", the firm later changed its name to it. The first restaurant was located in the neighborhood of Lomas de Sotelo, Mexico City. The chain expanded to Madero Street and Azcapotzalco then in 1974 outside of the city to Acapulco. In 1994 it merged with Walmart de México, which then sold Vips to Alsea in 2014 for 8.2 billion Mexican pesos.

ভারতের বাৎসরিক যুব সমাগমের অনুষ্ঠান জাতীয় যুব উৎসব (ভারত) এই দিনটির সাথে সম্পর্কিত। এতে সাস্কৃতিক কর্মকাণ্ডের ও প্রতিযোগীতার আয়োজন করা হয়।
রামকৃষ্ণ সংঘ

রামকৃষ্ণ সংঘ (ইংরেজি: Ramakrishna Order) হল সন্ন্যাসী বংশ যা রামকৃষ্ণ কর্তৃক প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল, যখন তিনি ১৮৮৬ সালের জানুয়ারি মাসে কাশীপুর হাউস এ তাঁর ঘনিষ্ঠ শিষ্যদের মধ্যে বারোজনকে সন্ন্যাসের পোশাক দিয়েছিলেন।
রামকৃষ্ণ সংঘকে রামকৃষ্ণ মঠের সাথে বিভ্রান্ত করা উচিত নয়, যেটি আইনী সত্তা যা তরুণ সন্ন্যাসীদের প্রশিক্ষণ দেয় এবং আদেশের স্বামীদের আধ্যাত্মিক দায়িত্ব পরিচালনা করে। এছাড়াও একটি সমান্তরাল সংগঠন রয়েছে, রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন, যা অনাথ আশ্রম, হাসপাতাল, ক্লিনিক, প্রাথমিক বিদ্যালয়, উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়, কলেজ ও বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় সহ দাতব্য কাজ সম্পাদন করে - সেইসাথে গ্রামে দুর্যোগ ত্রাণ এবং অর্থনৈতিক উন্নয়ন।
রামকৃষ্ণ সংঘ হল সন্ন্যাসী বংশ যেটি রামকৃষ্ণ মঠ ও রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন নামে দুটি সংগঠনের জন্ম দিয়েছে, উভয়েরই সদর দফতর ভারতের কলকাতার কাছে বেলুর মঠে। সংগঠনগুলি মহান বাঙালি সাধক রামকৃষ্ণের দ্বারা অনুপ্রাণিত হয়েছিল। রামকৃষ্ণ ১৮৩৬ সালে জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। রামকৃষ্ণ তার তরুণ শিষ্যদের স্বামী বিবেকানন্দের কাছে অর্পণ করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেন। বিবেকানন্দ এরপর ১৮৯৭ সালে রামকৃষ্ণ মঠ প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন। রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন "মানুষের মধ্যে ঈশ্বরের উপাসনা" অনুশীলন চালানোর জন্য সমান্তরাল সংস্থা হিসাবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল।
ভারতীয় উপমহাদেশ, ইউরোপ, রাশিয়া, জাপান, দক্ষিণ আমেরিকা, আফ্রিকা, কানাডা ও মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রে অবস্থিত রামকৃষ্ণ সংঘের সাথে যুক্ত ১৬৬ টিরও বেশি কেন্দ্র রয়েছে। রামকৃষ্ণ মিশন দুর্ভিক্ষ, মহামারি, অগ্নি সংযোগ, বন্যা, ভূমিকম্প, ঘূর্ণিঝড় এবং সাম্প্রদায়িক বিশৃঙ্খলা থেকে ত্রাণ ও সহায়তা প্রদানের চেষ্টা করে।
রামকৃষ্ণের সীলমোহরে নির্দিষ্ট কিছু প্রতীক রয়েছে যা ঈশ্বরের চারটি পথের জন্য তাদের ধারণাকে চিত্রিত করে। এর মধ্যে রয়েছে তরঙ্গায়িত জল যার অর্থ নিঃস্বার্থ কাজ, পদ্ম মানে ঈশ্বরের ভালবাসা, উদীয়মান সূর্য মানে জ্ঞান, এবং পরিবেষ্টিত সর্প মানে আধ্যাত্মিক শক্তির জাগরণ।
