National Aquarium Denmark

National Aquarium Denmark, Den Blå Planet (Danish: Den Blå Planet, Danmarks Akvarium) is a public aquarium in Denmark. The original aquarium was located in Charlottenlund, but this facility closed in 2012 and most of the animal collection was relocated to the new and much larger aquarium Den Blå Planet (lit.: The Blue Planet) in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. The National Aquarium Denmark, Den Blå Planet opened to the public in March 2013 and is the largest aquarium in Northern Europe.
The main purpose of the aquarium is to disseminate marine information, help science projects, and help improve educational institutions.
Denmark's Aquarium in Charlottenlund started construction in 1937 and was opened in 1939. In 1974, this aquarium was expanded to feature five large landscape aquaria and a biological museum with theme-based exhibits and aquariums. In 1990, the facility was further expanded by a new front hall, café, improved toilet facilities and a schooler service. In the final years before the closure of the aquarium in Charlottenlund, it had about 1,000,000 litres (220,000 imp gal; 260,000 US gal) of water in about 70 aquarium tanks. Denmark's Aquarium remains internationally familiar thanks to its central role in the Danish-American film Reptilicus, which was partly shot there in 1960.
Den Blå Planet opened in 2013 in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. It resembles a whirlpool when seen from above; it often is, being close to the Copenhagen Airport. It was designed by Danish architects 3XN. To reduce energy consumption the building is equipped with cooling units using seawater from Øresund and double glazing. It covers a total of 12,000 m (130,000 sq ft), including the 10,000 m (110,000 sq ft) building and 2,000 m (22,000 sq ft) outdoors (excluding parking spaces).
In the first year of existence, the aquarium received approximately 1.3 million visitors – twice as many as expected. To mitigate this extra wear, and in order to improve public education, 12.5 million DKK (approx. 2.3 million US$; 1.7 million €) were spent on changes and renovations of the aquarium.
The Blue Planet contains about 7,000,000 litres (1,500,000 imp gal; 1,800,000 US gal) of water divided into 53 exhibits. There are five main sections:
List of free economic zones

In special economic zones business and trades laws differ from the rest of the country. The term, and a number of other terms, can have different specific meanings in different countries and publications. Often they have relaxed jurisdiction of customs or related national regulations. They can be ports or other large areas or smaller allocated areas.
Terms include free port (porto Franco), free zone (zona franca), bonded area (US: foreign-trade zone), free economic zone, free-trade zone, export processing zone and maquiladora.
Most commonly a free port is a special customs area or small customs territory with generally less strict customs regulations (or no customs duties or controls for transshipment). Earlier in history, some free ports like enjoyed political autonomy. Many international airports have free ports, though they tend to be called customs areas, customs zones, or international zones.
Although the enabling act came into effect in 1992, the pioneer Free Zone (the Calabar Free Trade Zone) was not fully completed until 1999, and commenced operation after official commissioning in November 2001. Since then, the Free Zones Scheme has been used as a vehicle for industrial and commercial development of the country. Private Sector participation and partnership with the Federal Government and other tiers of government has helped spread the scheme. This has culminated in the establishment of specialised Free Zones and other types of Zones, namely:
The introduction of free zones has played a large role in increasing the amount of investment into Nigeria. When all the free zones are fully operational, Nigeria is projected to play a large role in expanding export-driven manufacturing activities in Africa.
European Union free zones:
Тechnological–Industrial Development Zones (TIDZs)
Serbia has 14 free economic zones as of September 2017; these are:
Law 19640: Special Customs Area for the Island of Tierra del Fuego
Law 24331: Free Zones (of Argentina)

Victor 6000

Victor 6000 is a deep-water remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operated by the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER). In service since 1999, it can reach depths up to 6,000 m (20,000 ft).
Victor 6000 is a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) that weighs 4.6 t (4.5 long tons; 5.1 short tons) and measures 3.07 m (10.1 ft) long, 2.77 m (9 ft 1 in) high, and 2.14 m (7 ft 0 in) wide. It is capable of reaching depths of 6,000 m (20,000 ft). Victor 6000 is controlled and powered via a 8.5 km (5.3 mi) cable that connects it to its host ship, but can operate autonomously for 100 hours.
From 30 April to 3 June 2002, Victor 6000, aboard the IFREMER research ship Atalante [fr; de; el], participated in the PHARE (Peuplements hydrothermaux, leurs associations et relations avec l'environnement) oceanographic campaign and featured in a documentary about the expedition by Jean-François Ternay [fr].
The fauna on display in the Abyss Box pressurised deep sea tank were collected by Victor 6000.
During a scientific expedition with the IFREMER research ship Pourquoi Pas? in November 2020, Victor 6000 was used to discover a SNCASE Aquilon jet fighter-bomber, missing since 1960, at a depth of 2,400 m (7,900 ft) to the south of Porquerolles, France.
In 2023, Victor 6000 and Atalante were used in a rescue attempt in the search for the Titan submersible.
Tomás Ó Rathile

Tharraing Tomás Ó Rathile (1882-1953) clú air féin mar scoláire Gaeilge Rugadh Tomás Ó Rathile i Lios Tuathail, Contae Chiarraí. Ba é Thomas Francis Rahilly a athair, fear gnó agus cléireach. Bhí a mháthair, Julia Mary Curry as Luimneach, ina garneacht d’Eoghan Ó Comhraí. Bhí Tomás ar an gcúigiú duine de na trí dhuine dhéag a mhair den chlann. Tharraing beirt eile den chlann clú éigin orthu féin: Alfred, a bhí ina Uachtarán ar Choláiste Ollscoile Chorcaí agus Sisile, scoláire Gaeilge.
Chaith Ó Rathile tamall i gColáiste na Carraige Duibhe agus suim aige sa Ghaeilge óna óige amach. Fuair sé scoláireacht sna Clasaicigh i gColáiste Ollscoile Bhaile Átha Cliath in 1902 agus bhain sé duais Uí Chomhraí sa Ghaeilge in 1903. É ag múineadh sa choláiste sula ndeachaigh sé i mbun oibre sna Ceithre Chúirt in 1905. Nuair a bhíodh am le spáráil aige dhéanadh sé staidéar ar chanúintí na Gaeilge agus ar lámhscríbhinní Gaeilge, cé nach raibh an tsláinte go maith aige. D’fhan sé ina chléireach go dtí 1919.
In 1903 bunaíodh Scoil an Léinn Ghaelaigh agus d’fhreastail Ó Rathile ar ranganna Sean-Ghaeilge John Strachan.
Bhí sé ag scríobh aistí d’irisí éagsúla. In 1912 bhunaigh sé an iris Gadelica chun fás na teanga a spreagadh, ach chlis sí cheal airgid. Bhí sé ina eagarthóir ar Ériu agus ar Celtica níos déanaí, agus scríobh sé neart alt agus roinnt mhaith leabhar i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge.
Bhí sé ina Ollamh le Gaeilge i gColáiste na Tríonóide idir 1919 agus 1929. D’aistrigh sé go Corcaigh in 1929, mar a raibh sé ina Ollamh Taighde go dtí 1925. Bhí a leithéid chéanna de phost aige i gColáiste Ollscoile Bhaile Átha Cliath idir 1935 agus 1941. Nuair a bunaíodh Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath ceapadh é ina Ollamh Sinsearach, agus bhí sé ina Stiúrthóir ar Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh ann idir 1942 agus 1947.
D’fhoilsigh sé teoiricí dá chuid féin i dtaobh stair na hÉireann agus iad bunaithe ar dhiantaighde teangeolaíoch agus téacsúil. D’áitigh sé gur lonnaigh ceithre dhream de chainteoirí Ceiltise in Éirinn i ndiaidh a chéile, teoiric nach bhfuil an fhianaise ghéiniteach agus sheandálaíoch ag cur léi anois. D’áitigh sé freisin go raibh dhá Naomh Pádraig ann.
Phós sé Máire Ní Bhuachalla ó Bhaile Uí Annáin i Mainistir na Corann in 1918. Ní raibh clann orthu. Fuair sé bás ar an 16 Samhain 1953.

Dubhthach moccu Lughair

Dlíodóir, file agus Ollamh Éireann seanscéalach ba ea Dubthach maccu Lugair (beo 5ú haois). Meastar gur mhair sé agus Naomh Pádraig ag soiscéalú i nÉirinn. Bhí sé ina ardfhile agus breitheamh ar son Laoghaire mhic Néill, Ardrí na hÉireann. Murab ionann is an rí agus a draoithe, deirtear gur glac sé go fonnmhar leis an reiligiúin nua. I bhfoinsí Gael-Laidine agus Gaeilge, bhí ról mór aige in imeascadh léinn Ghaelaigh le creideamh Críostaí.
De réir naoimhsheanchas, bhí Dubhthach, a nia Naomh Fiach as Sléibhte, agus Earc dlí-eolaí, i láthair ag cúirt Laoghaire nuair a thug Pádraig cuairt ar Theamhraigh. Níor sheas ach Dubhthach chun fáilte a chur roimhe. D'iompaigh Dubhthach and Fiach beirt ar an gCríostaíocht agus beannaíodh a shliochtaigh dá bharr. Deirtear go raibh Dubhthach i láthair nuair a rinne Pádraig easpag d'Fhiach.
Thug Dubhthach breithiúnas in aghaidh Laoghaire de bharr dúnmharú Odhráin, carbadóir Phádraig. Mar thoradh, athraíodh Féineachas na nGael págánach. Coinníodh pé rud a bhí oiriúnach leis an gCríostaíocht, baineadh gach eile amach. Bhí Dubhthach ar dhuine as naonúir a rinne an obair seo.
Tá ceithre dhán ann le Dubhthach atá ar marthain.
Tá ceann amháin i Leabhar na gCeart, dán de dhá líne is tríocha maidir le cáilíochtaí an fhile léannta.
Tá trí cinn sa Leabhar Laighneach, maidir le cogaí agus caithréimeanna Éanna Cinnsealaigh agus a mhic Criomhthann, ríthe na Laighean.
Déanann Edward O'Reilly chur síos orthu ina saothar Irish Writers.
B'fhéidir é go bhfuil Dubhthach gaolmhar le Mo Laisse maccu Lugair, a bhfuil lá féile aige ar an 16ú Meán Fómhair i bhFéilire Thamhlachta agus Féilire Aonghasa. Insítear sna féilirí go raibh a chill i gcríocha Uí Fhairchealláin, gar do Mhaighean Rátha, Contae Laoise.
I nós níos deireanaí, deirtear gur chuir Dubhtach ceiliúr pósta ar Naomh Bríd. Dhiúltaigh sí é, ach chabhraigh sí leis um chéile a fháil. Bhí roinnt mac aige, iad uile ina naoimh agus ina mbunaitheoirí ceall, go formhór i gLaighean, ina measc Fachtna Chill Tuama i mBaile Fhobhair, Barúntacht, Contae na hIarmhí; agus Trian, Naomh Gabhrán, Naomh Euhel, Moninne, Lonán agus Naomh Molaisse mac Uí Lugair. Bhí a ghariníon, Deidiu ní Thriain, ina máthair a deirtear Naomh agus filí, ina measc Naomh Seanan Láithreach Briúin mac Fiontán, Naomh Diarmaid the Just mac Lugna, Naomh Caillin mac Niata, Naomh Féilim Chill Mhóire mac Cairill, Naomh Daigh mac Cairill, Saint Femia ní Chairill, Naomh Mainchin Chollan mac Corainn agus Senchán Torpéist, ollamh Éireann eile.
Grianán Ailigh

Bailiúchán séadchomharthaí stairiúil is ea Grianán Ailigh i gContae Dhún na nGall.
Caiseal nó dún breá athchóirithe cloiche is ea Grianán Ailigh atá suite ar Shliabh an Ghrianáin agus radharcanna uaidh amach ar Loch Súilí, Loch Feabhail agus Inis Eoghain ar an taobh ó thuaidh. Áit charraigeach an bhrí atá leis an bhfocal Aileach. Tá fianaise de dhún cnoic réamhstairiúil fanta ar an láthair i bhfoirm trí bhruach ísle nó rampair, agus dioga ata timpeall ar an gcaiseal. Bhí bealach arsa ag dul suas go dtí an láthair.
Tá tobar beannaithe, atá tiomnaithe do Naomh Pádraig, ar an taobh ó dheas den chaiseal agus tá suíomh de charn adhlactha soir uaidh.
I miotaseolaíocht agus béaloideas na nGael, deirtear gur thóg an Dagda an ráth, dia agus rí mór le rá na dTuath Dé Danann, a throid in éadan na bhFomhórach sa dara Cath Maighe Tuireadh.
Insítear an scéal faoi bhás Aodha agus tógáil an Ghrianán i ndán fada le fáil i Leabhar Mór Leacáin.
De réir dán níos deireanaí le Flann Mainistreach caomhnaithe sa Leabhar Laighneach, tugadh an Dúin ag Frigrind, tógálaí cáiliúil faoi chosaint an rí, Fiacha Sraibhthine, a maraíodh ag Cath Dubh Chomar sa bhliain AD 322. Thug an rí an dún ársa dó mar áit chónaithe, agus thóg Frigrind an teach splendid dá bhean chéile as eo (iúr) dearg, snoite agus deartha le hór agus cré-umha, clúdaithe le seoda lonracha. Is amhlaidh ón dán go ndearnadh an ráth féin, maraon leis an ritheach, ag beirt saor cloiche, Imcheall agus Garbhán.
De réir na croineolaíochta i nAnnála na gCeithre Máistrí, tógadh Aileach seacht céad bliain déag roimh ré na Críostaíochta.
Is suntasach é gurb é Aileach ar cheann de bheagán suíomhanna a feictear ina áit cruinn ceart mar dún ríoga ar léarscáil Tholamaes, a mhair a deirtear sa dara haois, dhá chéad bliain roimh am Fhrigrind.
Is dócha gur tógadh an caiseal i ndeireadh an ochtú céad nó ag tús an naoú céad AD mar phríomhionad do Chenél nЕógain, i gceannas ar na rithe a bhí sa chuid seo d'Ulaidh. In 904 agus in 939, rinne na Lochlannaigh slad ar Aileach.
Sa bhliain 1101, rinne arm faoi cheannas rí na Mumhan, Muirchertach Ua Briain, an scrios deiridh ar Aileach.
Tá dhá sheomra istigh sa bhalla atá ag dul chomh fada leis an mbealach isteach, nach mór. Sa bhliain 1835, thaifead Petrie foirgneamh dronuilleogach cloiche istigh sa lár, foirgneamh nach bhfuil ann a thuilleadh.
Sna 1870idí, rinne an Dr. Walter Bernard as Doire athchóiriú ar an gcaiseal agus thaifead sé na hearraí cloiche a fuarthas ansin.
Sa bhliain 2001, rinneadh tuilleadh fiosrúchán seandálaíochta agus innealtóireachta san áit sular thug Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí faoin obair chaomhnaithe. As na fiosrúcháin sin, fuarthas blúirí de ghloine, potaireacht agus píopaí cré a tháinig as na hoibreacha a rinneadh sa naoú céad déag. Tá fardoras ar an mbealach isteach sa chaiseal agus tá an taobh istigh den chaiseal iata ag balla atá ag ardú ina thrí ardán agus rochtain chuige trí staighrí intlise.
Curaí

Mias spíosraithe éisc, feola, éanlaithe nó glasraí, a thosaigh san oirthear. I measc na spíosraí a úsáidtear i gcuraithe tá lus an choire, cuimín, sillí, cainéal, cardamam, clóibh, feanagréagach, sinséar is tuirmiric. Meastar go bhfeidhmíonn na spíosraí seo mar leasaithigh bia i dtíortha teo. Comhábhair choitianta eile is ea gairleog, iógart, agus lacht cnó cócó.
Tuirmiric

Is éard atá i gceist le tuirmiric ná planda ilbhliantúil atá dúchasach d'oirdheisceart an India. Tá gaol aige le sinséar is ararút oirthear na hIndia. Fásann an gas 1 m ar airde. Na bláthanna le liopaí buí, iompartha go tiubh ar spíce le brachtanna bána is bándearga. Saothraítear í i gcomhair a riosóm méith cumhra, a mheiltear chun boladh is dath ar leith a thabhairt do phúdar curaí. Táirgtear dath buí uaithi freisin.
Cuimín

Planda caol bliantúil is ea cuimín a fhásann 50 cm ar airde, dúchasach do thuaisceart na hAfraice is iardheisceart na hÁise. Na duilleoga roinnte ina maotháin chaola, cosúil le snáithí. Na bláthanna bán nó bándearg, na peitil eangach. Na torthaí ubhchruthach le heitrí caola. Saothraítear é ar son na dtorthaí cumhra a úsáidtear mar spíosra, mar chomhábhar i bpúdar curaí, agus i gcócaireacht Mheicsiceach.
An Tamailis

Is í an Tamailis (தமிழ்) an ceann is tábhachtaí de na teangacha Dráivideacha, is é sin, teangacha bundúchasacha Dheisceart na hIndia. Teanga oifigiúil í i stát Tamil Nadu san India, i Srí Lanca (in éineacht leis an tSiolóinis), agus i Singeapór (in éineacht leis an mBéarla, an tSínis, agus an Mhalaeis).
Ceann de theangacha clasaiceacha na hIndia í an Tamailis. Is é Tolkappiyam, gramadach na Sean-Tamailise, an téacs is sine sa teanga, ach is deacair a rá, cén t-am a scríobhadh é. Cuid de na saineolaithe, tá siad ag áitiú gur breacadh an téacs síos i bhfad roimh bhreith Chríost, agus an chuid eile barúlach go mbaineann sé leis an ochtú haois AD. Dealraíonn sé nach bhfuil sé níos nua ná sin, áfach.
Focal Tamailise sa Ghaeilge é curaí, is é sin an spíosra ar a dtugtar curry as Béarla, an teanga ónar tháinig an leagan Gaeilge.
Cosúil leis na teangacha Dráivideacha eile, is teanga tháite (teanga shintéiseach) í an Tamailis, is é sin, cuirtear a lán iarmhíreanna leis na focail le hiad a dhíochlaonadh nó a réimniú. Tá a haibítir féin aici, cosúil leis na mórtheangacha Dráivideacha eile. Baineann na Tamalaigh úsáid as an aibítir seo nuair a scríobhann siad Sanscrait freisin, agus má scríobhtar teangacha na mionlach eitneach i Stát Tamil Nadu ar aon nós, is í an aibítir seo a úsáidtear.
Joppie sauce

Joppie sauce also known as Joppe sauce or (Dutch) Joppiesaus is a condiment from the Netherlands based on mayonnaise with mild curry spices. It is commonly offered in fast food restaurants in the Netherlands and Belgium, but is also available in grocery stores.
Joppie sauce was created by Janyne "Joppie" de Jager [d] of Annie's Snackbar in Glanerbrug, a village in the Netherlands on the border with Germany. It consists of mayonnaise with a 'secret blend' of spices. In 2002, the sauce entered industrial production by Elite Salades & Snacks, a company in Neede, who legally own the sauce's Dutch name Joppiesaus.
Joppie sauce is a vegetable oil-based mayonnaise with onion and curry powder spices. The flavour is akin to that of a mild curry mayonnaise and the colour is a vivid turmeric yellow. The sauce is commonly served with French fries and other deep-fried or fast food dishes.
Quinpool District

The Quinpool District refers to a commercial district of Halifax, Nova Scotia, encompassing the eastern portion of Quinpool Road as well as the streets directly north and south of it. Prominent landmarks on Quinpool Road include the Atlantica Hotel, the Oxford Theatre, and an eclectic variety of local businesses, including many popular Chinese and Greek restaurants.
Quinpool Road runs from the Armdale Rotary through Connaught Avenue, terminating at what is known as the Willow Tree, on Robie Street - an unusual five-way intersection named for the prominent tree that once grew in the median. The street is commercialised from Connaught Ave to the Willow Tree and comprises a popular shopping and dining centre for the local community. It is also part of the Nova Scotia provincial road system, meaning that the Province of Nova Scotia pays the Halifax Regional Municipality in part for snow clearing and maintenance.
While the street is an important commercial district in Halifax, it also forms a major boundary between the city's working class North End and wealthier South End, both physically and socially. Quinpool is also the heart of the city's middle class West End neighbourhood. The area was also home to two longtime rival high schools, Queen Elizabeth High School and St. Patrick's High School until their merger as Citadel High School in September 2007. St. Patrick's High School was since renamed the Quinpool Education Centre, and hosted a number of educational programs and social services. The city declared the school building surplus and it was demolished.
The name Quinpool dates from at least 1808 and is believed to come from an Irish widow named Quinn who lived by a stretch of water in the Northwest Arm known as 'Quinn's Pool'.

United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot

United Kingdom is a cultural pavilion representing the four countries within the island country of the same name (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) as part of the World Showcase area of EPCOT at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. It is located between the France and Canada pavilions along the World Showcase Lagoon.
The buildings in the United Kingdom Pavilion represent the architectural history of the United Kingdom, ranging from a building inspired by Hampton Court Palace to another inspired by Anne Hathaway's Cottage. There are also Tudor, Georgian and Victorian styles present. There are English Gardens which include a hedge maze and a band stand.
The shops sell British items such as tea, biscuits, toys, clothing, sports apparel and Beatles merchandise.
Gilbert-Scott telephone boxes line a rose garden near the pavilion's restrooms and there is often a direct connection on these phones to a similar box in the Canada pavilion nearby.
A band called the British Revolution performs British rock music covers from acts such as the Police, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Blur and Led Zeppelin.
At the 2019 D23 Expo, an expansion to the Pavilion based on the Disney Mary Poppins films was announced with a new neighborhood based on Cherry Tree Lane, serving as the façade for a Mary Poppins attraction. But the project was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, the concept art and plans for the attraction were leaked on a former Imagineer's portfolio indicating the attraction would be an indoor teacups experience taking design cues from Mary Poppins Returns.
Phat phrik khing

Phat phrik khing or pad prik king (Thai: ผัดพริกขิง, pronounced [pʰàt pʰrík kʰǐŋ]) is a type of Thai curry that is drier than other Thai curries such as red curry as it is fried in oil and does not contain liquid coconut milk. Sometimes, instead of, or in addition to frying oil, coconut milk is heated until it turns to oil for added taste.
The paste is a thick curry presenting a vivid red color due to phrik (chili peppers). Confusingly, the Thai name indicates that ginger (khing) is used in this dish, which in fact is not the case. Recipes for the phrik khing curry paste usually include lemongrass, garlic and galangal. Very often, also in Thailand, red curry paste is used instead.
The curry is mainly made of Yardlong bean or green bean, chili peppers, lemongrass, garlic, galangal and the main protein, traditionally diced pork belly, or chicken.
Palm sugar, dried fish, and fish sauce are added depending on the preference.
The dish is a blend of proteins, greens and carbohydrates, being a fairly balanced meal.
On average, each serving has around 250-380 calories.
Mor Kuzhambu

Buttermilk Kuzhambu or Moru Curry(Malayalam) Mor Kuzhambu(Tamil) is a commonly prepared dish in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This is a liquid curry recipe which is served with white or boiled rice, pancake made of lentils / mixed gram dosa.
Traditionally, it includes vegetables like okra, winter melon or ash gourd, colocasia, etc. The taste is a bit sour, and it is a dish of Tamil Nadu. It is widely prepared on festivals as a special dish. It is often served with hot steamed rice and potato fries.
In Kerala there are two variants of this curry. One with vegetables and other without any vegetables. Ash gourd is the common vegetable in this kind of curry it is called Kaalan. Also, the curry without vegetables is called Buttermilk curry.
This is very rich in calcium and vitamin C, and has very low cholesterol.
Khao soi

Khao soi or khao soy (Thai: ข้าวซอย, pronounced [kʰâ(ː)w sɔ̄ːj]; Lao: ເຂົ້າຊອຍ, pronounced [kʰȁ(ː)w sɔ́ːj]; Northern Thai: ข้าวซอย, pronounced [kʰa᷇w sɔ̄ːj]; Shan: ၶဝ်ႈသွႆး, pronounced [kʰaw˧˧˨.sʰɔj˥]; Burmese: အုန်းနို့ခေါက်ဆွဲ, pronounced [ʔóʊɴ no̰ kʰaʊʔ sʰwɛ́]) is a Chin Haw dish served in Laos and northern Thailand. A comparable dish, ohn no khao swè, is widely served in Myanmar. In Myanmar, it is known as "khao swè", an adaptation of the original name. Traditionally, the dough for the wheat noodles is spread out on a cloth stretched over boiling water. After steaming, the sheet noodles are rolled and cut with scissors.
The dish is believed to have evolved from Chinese Muslim traders who plied the spice route when what is now modern-day northern Thailand was controlled by the Burmese.
Lao khao soi is traditionally made with hand-sliced rice noodles in clear broth and topped with minced pork. In some markets in Luang Namtha and Muang Sing, vendors still hand-cut the noodles. These traditionally cut noodles can also be found in several places in northern Thailand.
There are several common versions of khao soi:

Moș Crăciun (serie de filme)

Moș Crăciun (în engleză: The Santa Clause) este o serie de filme de comedie cu Tim Allen. Seria de filme începe cu Cine este Moș Crăciun? (The Santa Clause, 1994). Este continuată de Moș Crăciun caută Crăciuniță (The Santa Clause 2, 2002) și Familia lui Mos Crăciun (The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, 2006). Cu fiecare film ulterior, seria a cunoscut o scădere a recenziilor critice și a încasărilor la box-office.
Tim Allen interpretează rolul lui Scott Calvin, un om obișnuit care accidental face ca Moș Crăciun să cadă de pe acoperișul casei sale în Ajunul Crăciunului. După ce îmbracă haina Moșului, el și cu fiul său Charlie sunt transportați la Polul Nord unde află că trebuie neapărat să devină noul Moș Crăciun pentru a salva Crăciunul.
Au trecut opt ani de la evenimentele din primul film. Scott Calvin este un Moș Crăciun de succes în momentul în care încep să apară mai multe probleme. În primul rând, el află că până la următorul Crăciun trebuie să-și găsească o soție, în caz contrar clauza de Moș Crăciun este încălcată și sărbătorile de iarnă dispar. În plus, fiul său Charlie este trecut pe lista celor obraznici. În disperare, Scott decide să părăsească Polul Nord pentru a se duce acasă să rezolve problema cu fiul său și să-și găsească o soție. În locul său, elful Curtis a creat o replică a Moșului sub formă de jucărie, dar noul Moș din plastic se va dovedi o nouă mare problemă. Acesta preia controlul Polului Nord cu ajutorul armatei sale de soldați de jucărie. De asemenea, Noul Moș introduce noi definiții pentru a determina cine este cuminte și cine este obraznic și decide ca toți copii din lume să primească cărbuni în loc de cadouri. În această situație, elful Curtis decide să-l aducă pe Scott înapoi la Polul Nord.
Scott Calvin și soția sa Carol trăiesc fericiți la Polul Nord. Cu toate acestea, chiar înainte de Crăciun apar întârzieri în producția de jucării. Carol așteaptă să nască în curând un copil și vrea ca Scott să petreacă mai mult alături de ea. Pentru ca lucrurile să se complice, Jack Frost vrea ca el să preia sărbătoarea Crăciunului.
Seria de filme Moș Crăciun a fost un succes la box office cu un buget total de 99 de milioane de dolari americani și încasări totale de peste 470 de milioane.
Juan de Arellano

Juan de Arellano (n. 3 august 1614, Santorcaz, Spania – d. 12 octombrie 1676, Madrid, Madrid, Spania) a fost un pictor spaniol al epocii baroce care s-a specializat în picturi florale natură statică.
S-a născut în Santorcaz, lângă Madrid, unde a murit. A fost elevul lui Juan de Solis. Puternic influențat de artiști flamanzi (cum ar fi Daniel Seghers) și pictori italieni (cum ar fi Mario Nuzzi), Juan de Arellano a fost considerat a fi excepțional pe acest subiect. Potrivit unuia dintre colegii săi, de Arellano a decis să se concentreze exclusiv pe picturile florale, deoarece ofereau mai multă remunerație, în timp ce necesita mai puțină muncă. Unele dintre cele mai faimoase piese ale lui de Arellano includ Buchet de flori (c.1660) și Ghirlandă de flori, păsări și fluturi, expuse în prezent la Luvru . A pictat și pentru sacristia bisericii San Jerónimo el Real din Madrid. Muzeul Prado adăpostește un repertoriu interesant. Un alt set interesant de naturi moarte este expus la Academia Regală de Arte Frumoase din San Fernando, o altă pictură splendidă Vaze în fața unei oglinzi este expusă la Muzeul de Arte Frumoase din Coruña. O natură moartă deosebit de ambițioasă aparține Muzeului de Arte Frumoase din Bilbao. Muzeul Cerralbo are în posesie un tablou numit Concert de păsări cu flori și un altul se află la Muzeul Romantismului din Madrid.
Șesul Craiului - Scărița-Belioara

Scărița-Belioara este o rezervatie geo-botanică din masivul Muntele Mare, pe teritoriul comunelor Ocoliș și Poșaga (județul Alba), cu vârfuri muntoase înalte, sub forma de turle (Colțul Bleantului, Piatra Belii, Vârful Negrilii) și cu numeroase peșteri (Coșul Boului, Peștera fără Fund, Peștera Roșie, Peștera Lungă, Peștera Călugărului, Peștera lui Filip, Peștera Colțului Rotund etc).
Rezervația cuprinde „Șesul Craiului” situat pe un platou calcaros la peste 1350 m altitudine, în continuare pădurea de pe muntele Scărița, precum și spectaculoase abrupturi ce străjuiesc obârșiile Văii Belioara (afluent al Văii Poșăgii), cu pereți verticali, tancuri, vâlcele, brâne și creste ascuțite. Are o suprafață de 47,7 ha și adăpostește multe specii rare de plante și animale.
Inițiativa punerii sub protecție a zonei a avut-o Alexandru Borza, încă din anii ’20 ai secolului al XX-lea.
Terenul este proprietate de stat. Rezervația botanică Scărița-Belioara conservă specii rare, unele unice în Europa: sângele voinicului, argințica, mărtăloaga, căldărușa, gențiana, buzata, crinul pestriț. Specifice acestui masiv sunt endemismele barba mugurului, mălăoaie și strugurii ursului (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), relicvă glaciară ajunsă aici din Peninsula Balcanică.
Căi de acces: pe drumul național Turda-Câmpeni DN 75 până la Poșaga de Jos, de unde se continuă pe drumul comunal DC 42 până la Poșaga de Sus, iar de acolo, pe Valea Belioarei, până la marginea nordică a satului și în continuare pe o potecă.
Bai Sema

Bai Sema (thai: ใบเสมา) „pietre de hotar” erau destinate marcarea regiunilor sfinte într-un wat (îngrăditura cu un zid a unei construcții religioase în Thailanda, Laos, Cambodgia). Budha a stabilit în „Vinayana Pitaka” (Coșul disciplinei) teritoriile sfinte unde țin călugării ritualurile religioase. Aceste locuri trebuie să aibă o suprafață minimă în care au loc 21 de călugări la distanța unui braț unul de altul, acest teritoriu nu avea să fie mai mare, probabil ca perimetru de 3 „Yojana” (1 Yojana = ca. 16 km). Un astfel de teritoriu fiind numit „Buddhasima” marcat cu „Nimitta” (reper de marcare graniței) care putea să fie: o colină, stâncă, copaci. mușuri de furnci, ape, drumuri, păduri etc. In Thailanda această marcare a locului sfânt s-a făcut din secolul VI până în secolul IX frecvent cu „Bai Sema”.
Lista celor mai înalte coșuri de fum din lume

Lista celor mai înalte coșuri de fum din lume prezintă, în ordine descrescătoare a înălțimii, coșurile de fum de peste 250 de metri construite din beton armat, dar și cele mai înalte coșuri de fum, de peste 150 de metri, construite din tuburi metalice.
Deși multe tipuri de instalații industriale au coșuri de fum înalte, majoritatea coșurilor de fum cu înălțimi de peste 200 de metri fac parte din centrale termice, în special pe cărbune. Utilizarea coșurilor înalte rezidă din dorința de creștere a efectului de coș, pentru a asigura dispersarea cât mai eficientă a fumului și gazelor arse rezultate dintr-un proces tehnologic. Doar câteva topitorii, oțelării, uzine chimice și rafinării de petrol mai folosesc astfel de coșuri înalte.
Pe lângă coșurile de fum clasice, din beton armat, în industrie se utilizează și coșuri de fum metalice („japoneze”), construite din secțiuni lungi de țevi din oțel, majoritatea fiind situate în Japonia.
De la începutul Revoluției industriale s-au construit coșuri de fum înalte, la început din cărămizi, iar mai târziu și din beton sau oțel. Deși coșurile de fum nu au deținut niciodată recordul absolut de înălțime, ele sunt printre cele mai înalte structuri arhitecturale de sine stătătoare și dețin adesea recorduri naționale, drept cele mai înalte construcții independente sau cele mai înalte structuri ale unei țări.
Transportul clandestin al viermilor de mătase în Imperiul Bizantin

La mijlocul secolului al VI-lea e.n., doi călugări, cu sprijinul împăratului Bizantin Iustinian I, au reușit să aducă clandestin ouă de viermi de mătase în Imperiul Bizantin, ceea ce a condus la formarea unui industrii autohtone bizantine a mătăsii. Această achiziție de viermi de mătase din China a permis bizantinilor să dețină monopolul asupra mătăsii în Europa.
Mătasea, care a fost produsă pentru prima oară în mileniul al IV-lea î.e.n. în China, era o marfă foarte valoroasă pe Drumul Mătăsii. În secolul I e.n., exista un flux constant de mătase către Imperiul Roman. După creșterea Imperiului Sasanid și apoi Războaiele Romano–Persane, importul de mătase în Europa a devenit din ce în ce mai dificil și costisitor. Persanii controlau cu strictețe comerțul pe teritoriul lor și îl suspendau pe timp de război. În consecință, Împăratul Bizantin Iustinian I a încercat crearea de rute comerciale alternative pentru cea prin Sogdiana, care în timp devenise un important centru producător de mătase: una pe la nord, prin Crimeea, și una pe la sud, prin Etiopia. Eșecul acestor eforturi l-a făcut pe Iustinian I să caute altă soluție.
Doi călugări neidentificați (cel mai probabil membri ai Bisericii Nestoriene), care predicau creștinismul în India (Biserica Orientului din India), au ajuns în China pe la 551 e.n. În timp ce se aflau acolo, au observat complicatele metode de creștere a viermilor de mătase și de producere a mătăsii. Informația era esențială, deoarece bizantinii nu știau până atunci cu exactitate cum și unde se produce mătasea. În 552 e.n., cei doi călugări au mers la Iustinian I. În schimbul unor promisiuni generoase, dar necunoscute, călugării au acceptat să achiziționeze viermi de mătase din China. Cel mai probabil, ei au parcurs un traseu pe la nord, pe Marea Neagră, luând-o apoi prin Transcaucaz și pe Marea Caspică.
Deoarece viermii de mătase adulți sunt destul de fragili și trebuie să fie păstrați în permanență la o temperatură ideală, ca să nu moară, ei și-au folosit contactele din Sogdiana pentru a obține ouă de viermi de mătase sau larve foarte tinere, pe care le-au ascuns în interiorul bastoanelor lor de bambus. Arbuști de dud, necesari pentru viermii de mătase, au fost fie dați călugărilor tot atunci, fie erau deja importați în Imperiul Bizantin. În total, se estimează că întreaga expediție a durat doi ani.
La scurt timp după expediție, au apărut fabrici de mătase în Constantinopol, Beirut, Antiohia, Tyr, și Teba. Viermii de mătase obținuți astfel au permis Imperiului Bizantin să dețină monopolul asupra mătăsii în Europa. Achiziționarea a spart monopolurile chinez și persan. Monopolul rezultat a constituit baza economiei bizantine pentru următorii 650 de ani, până la dispariția acestuia în 1204. Hainele de mătase, mai ales cele vopsite în purpură imperială, erau aproape întotdeauna rezervate elitelor Bizanțului și purtarea lor era reglementată prin legile somptuare. Producția de mătase în regiunea din jurul Constantinopolului, în special în Tracia (nordul Greciei), continuă până în prezent.
The Karate Kid (TV series)

The Karate Kid is a 1989 American animated children's television series which debuted on NBC's Saturday morning lineup. It starred Joey Dedio, Robert Ito, and Janice Kawaye. It is based on the Karate Kid series of films, and was produced by DIC Enterprises, Saban Entertainment and Columbia Pictures Television. The show was originally planned for daily syndication for fall 1988 with 65 episodes, before eventually settling on a 13-episode order for NBC Saturday mornings in 1989.
The show retains apprentice Daniel LaRusso (voiced by Joey Dedio) and his mentor Mr. Miyagi (voiced by Robert Ito) but abandons the karate tournament motif for an adventure/quest setting. A miniature shrine with magic powers is taken from its resting place on Okinawa, and it is up to Miyagi and Daniel to recover it. Together with Okinawan girl Taki Tamurai (voiced by Janice Kawaye), the karatekas search the globe and, naturally, encounter several opportunities to fight their way out of trouble.
Pat Morita reprised his role as Mr. Miyagi before the opening through a narration in which he explains the episode's plot from his character's point of view. Morita provided opening narration for every episode aside from episode 8.
The episodes typically follow a similar formula: Mr. Miyagi obtains a lead on the shrine's location in some exotic corner of the world. Daniel and Taki follow up on it, and in the process encounter some villains who have either obtained or are seeking to obtain the shrine for their own evil purposes. After engaging and defeating the villains, Daniel comes within a hair's breadth of retrieving the shrine, only to have it escape from his grasp by random chance (for example, drifting away after being tied to a bunch of balloons, or being swept into the ocean), thus ensuring that the search continues into the next episode.
The show was available for purchase on iTunes, and could be streamed for free in the U.S. on Netflix, IMDb, Hulu, The Minisode Network, and Crackle. As of May 2018, the show was no longer available on iTunes, Netflix, or Hulu.
In Canada, the series can be streamed online via CTV's "CTV Throwback" video on demand service.
With regard to the series Cobra Kai, Jon Hurwitz clarified that the Karate Kid series is not canon, but an Easter Egg from it appears in Season 3, in response to the question about the Karate Kid animated series' official status within the Karate Kid / Cobra Kai universe. The Easter Egg is in the form of the Miyagi-Do shrine, briefly seen at Chozen Toguchi's dojo in Okinawa halfway through the season.

Sniggle

A sniggle is a type of fish hook used for catching eels (known as snigs), using the method of sniggling. A typical method of sniggling is to tie a fishing line to the middle of a large needle or fish hook. The needle is then inserted along the body of an earthworm which is used as bait. The needle is then stuck into a slender sniggling pole such as a hazel wand, eight to ten feet long. This is used to insert the bait into promising holes or crannies in which eels tend to lurk. When an eel takes the bait then, after a minute or two, the bait will have been swallowed whole and the line is then pulled to rotate the needle or hook within the body of the eel so snagging and catching it. Eels of two or three pounds weight may be caught by this method but may require a protracted tug of war to pull them from their hole. This provides better sport and amusement than the use of traps or clod-fishing and is a good alternative for the angler when game fish such as trout will not rise.
Atlantic spadefish

The Atlantic spadefish (Chaetodipterus faber) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ephippidae, the spadefishes. It is the symbol of the North Carolina Aquariums.
The scientific name is derived from the Greek word "chaíti" meaning "mane" and "dipteros" meaning "with two fins." The Atlantic spadefish belongs to the genus Chaetodipterus, which includes two other species: the West African spadefish (Chaetodipterus lippei) and the Pacific spadefish (Chaetodipterus zonatus). The genus Chaetodipterus belongs to the family Ephippidae, which includes spadefish and batfish.
Chaetodipterus faber is known by numerous other colloquial names, including angelfish, white angelfish, threetailed porgy, ocean cobbler, and moonfish.
The disk-shaped body is very deep and compressed, and the snout is blunt. There are 9 dorsal spines and 21–24 soft dorsal rays, and there are 3 anal spines and 17–19 anal rays. The second dorsal and anal fins of adults have long, trailing anterior lobes, giving an "angelfish-like" appearance. The body is silver in color with irregular black vertical bands that fade gradually with age. There are 4–6 black vertical bands on each side, with the first running through the eye and the last running through the caudal peduncle.
The mouth is small, with the maxilla of adults ending beneath the nostrils. The teeth are small and brushlike, and there are no teeth on the roof of the mouth. The head and fins are covered with ctenoid scales. Specimens commonly weigh from 3 to 10 pounds (1.4 to 4.5 kg), although individuals as large as 20 pounds (9.1 kg) have been recorded. Their maximum length is about 36 inches (91 cm).
Atlantic spadefish feed on small, benthic invertebrates including crustaceans, mollusks, annelids, and cnidarians. They also feed on plankton in the water column.
The species is endemic to the western Atlantic Ocean. They are found off the coast of the southeastern United States as far north as Massachusetts, the Gulf of Mexico, and in the Caribbean. They are also found in Bermuda and the eastern coast of Brazil.
The fish inhabits marine and brackish waters typically in subtropical climates. They are common in shallow waters along coastlines with depths of 3–35 metres (9.8–114.8 ft). Juveniles commonly inhabit estuaries until maturity and adults prefer mangroves, beaches, and harbors.
Spawning season occurs from May to September. A female can release up to one million eggs per season. The eggs hatch after 24 hours and the larvae feed on a yolk for two days before actively feeding.
Atlantic spadefish are not of much commercial value. Due to their reputation as strong fighters, they are popular game fish, especially during the summer months when they are most active. The Atlantic spadefish has become a popular target species for sportfishermen due to their abundance and the strong fight they have for their size. They are good table fare, especially if smoked or grilled. A common method of catching involves using small pieces of clam on a small circle hook.
Clam digging

Clam digging is a North American term for a common way to harvest clams (edible infaunal bivalve mollusks) from below the surface of the tidal sand flats or mud flats where they live. It is done both recreationally (for enjoyment or as a source of food) and commercially (as a source of income). Commercial digging in the U.S. and Canada is colloquially referred to as clamming, and is done by a clammer.
Amateur clam digging is often done using a straight long-handled spading fork, or a spading shovel.
Commercial clamming for quahog clams, and the larger surf clams (soup clams) is primarily done offshore, via mechanical dredging. To harvest cultivated clam beds, aquaculturists often use a much smaller version (hand pulled) from the offshore dredge. Another form of commercial clamming is done from a flat-decked boat using a clam rake with a telescopic handle. The head of these rakes have long tines attached to a "basket-like" cage in which the clams are collected.
In the Minas Basin area of Nova Scotia, digging for soft-shelled clams is usually done with a clam hack, a spading fork with its short handle bent perpendicularly away from the fork's head. A digger typically uses the hack by grasping the spine of the prongs in one hand and the handle of the fork in the other to push the hack down into the mud, clay, or sand and then pull it up and towards him/herself. This digging action opens up the substrate to expose the clams. Those clams legally long enough (44 mm or 1.7 in in Nova Scotia) are then taken by hand and put into a peck-size (9 litre) bucket that is used to measure the volume of clams collected.
Clam digging on the New England coast is done using a "clam hoe" (a pitchfork with the handle cut off about 18 in or 460 mm from the tines then bent about 70 degrees) and a "hod" or "roller" (a half bushel basket built using wood lathes or wire mesh) and hip waders (boot that extend up to the top of the legs). The use of other tools is prohibited in some areas.
Another popular method for bay clamming is the use of specialized tongs from a boat. Operators use the long tongs to probe the sand for clams. Clam tongs appear very much like two clam rakes with teeth hinged like scissors.
Digging for razor clams using a clam shovel or tube is a family and recreational activity in Oregon and Washington state.
