Yamato Museum

The Yamato Museum (大和ミュージアム, Yamato Museum) is the nickname of the Kure Maritime Museum (呉市海事歴史科学館, Kure-shi Kaiji Rekishi Kagakukan) in Kure, Hiroshima, Japan.
The museum opened on April 23, 2005. It is nicknamed the Yamato Museum due to the display in the lobby of a 1/10 scale model of the battleship Yamato, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet in World War II. It was sunk south of the Japanese island of Kyushu in 1945. The museum is located where the battleship was completed.
The museum includes an experiment work room, library, citizens' gallery, meeting rooms, and gift shop, and an observation terrace on the 4th floor where people can view the area.
Temporary exhibits are also held in the 2nd floor' room.
On front of the museum are displayed a 41 cm/45 3rd Year Type naval gun, an anchor, a rudder, and a screw from the Japanese Battleship Mutsu.
Behind the museum there is a brick park, a lawn plaza, and the "Yamato Wharf", a 1:1 scale silhouette of Yamato's bridge.
West of the museum are located the submersible research ship Shinkai, as well as the original Kure naval arsenal' big lathe (N° 15299) which was used to craft the Yamato's 46 cm/45 Type 94 naval gun.
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Kure Museum, which includes the retired JMSDF Yūshio-class submarine Akishio (SS-579), is located immediately North to the museum.
The sunken Yamato was surveyed previously, but in May 2015, digital technology was used for the first time. The footage shows many identifiable parts of the wreckage, such as the chrysanthemum crest on the bow, one of the 5 m (16 ft)-diameter propellers, and a detached main gun turret. The museum plans to show the nine-minute video repeatedly in its theater.
In 2015, the museum announced that it had entered into a sister museum partnership with the USS Missouri Memorial Association in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The agreement commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The naval game franchise Kantai Collection and its parent company C2 Praparat Co., Ltd. are official partners of the museum, organizing various events with the museum and the Kure colectivity, being notably the main patreon for the lathe N° 15299's restoration.
Daimyo Clock Museum

The Daimyo Clock Museum (大名時計博物館) is a small community-run museum in Yanaka 2-chōme, Tokyo. The museum was established in 1972 to display Japanese clocks from the Edo period collected by Sakujiro (known as "Guro") Kamiguchi (1892–1970).
Sakujiro Kamiguchi owned a highly unusual log cabin shop which sold western clothing. The shop became known locally as "Grotesque", and this was the origin of Kamiguchi's nickname, "Guro". Kamiguchi had many interests, including pottery. He first became interested in Japanese clocks when he came across an English-made watch with an attached sundial in a local shop. Kamiguchi realised the unique cultural importance of daimyo clocks:
In 1951, Kamiguchi established the Kamiguchi Japanese Clock Preservation Society, and gifted his collection to it. After his death in 1970, his son Hitoshi Kamiguchi became President of the Society and opened the museum in April 1972.
Daimyōs ('great lords') were the feudal aristocracy of Japan in the Edo period and they were the only people who could afford expensive timepieces. The museum displays mechanical clocks, sundials and incense clocks previously owned by daimyo families. There are around 50 pieces on display from the collection's total of some 200 items, in a single 83 square metre room. The museum's labels are all in Japanese only, though an English-language pamphlet explaining the traditional Japanese timekeeping system is also available.
The nearest metro station is Nezu on the Chiyoda line. The nearest Japan Rail station is Nippori.

The Pick

"The Pick" is the 53rd episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. It is the 13th episode of the fourth season, and first aired on December 16, 1992 on NBC. In this episode, Elaine mistakenly mails out a Christmas card in which her nipple is exposed to all her friends and relatives, Jerry's girlfriend breaks up with him after she sees him seemingly pick his nose, and Kramer is angered when he learns Calvin Klein has put out a new perfume based on his idea for a perfume that smells like the beach.
Elaine is humiliated when her Christmas card photo taken by Kramer accidentally exposes her nipple. The exposure is subtle enough that no one notices it until after Elaine has mailed out the Christmas card to all of her friends and relatives, including her underage nephew and her morally conservative boyfriend. Jerry has a date with Tia Van Camp, the Calvin Klein model he met on the plane in the previous episode. After the date, Kramer identifies the perfume Tia is wearing as the one he pitched to a Calvin Klein representative in "The Pez Dispenser", called "The Beach". She tells him it is a new Calvin Klein product called "Ocean".
Tia dumps Jerry after witnessing him scratching his nose, which she mistakes for him picking his nose. Jerry attempts to explain his actions at the Calvin Klein office but Tia refuses to believe him. Jerry launches into a rant about how people who pick their noses should not be socially ostracized, with references to The Merchant of Venice and The Elephant Man. Elaine delivers a similar speech to her boyfriend when he breaks up with her over the nipple exposure.
George is despondent over his breakup with Susan, despite Jerry and Elaine's argument that he was not willing to commit to the relationship. He visits a therapist to discuss the breakup, but the session is unproductive as first George, and then also the therapist, obsess over the stuck zipper on George's jacket. George convinces Susan to get back together with him by citing the example of Louis Pasteur and his wife. Upon their reconciliation he again feels entrapped by the relationship, so he uses "the pick" to disgust her enough to break up with him again. Kramer confronts Calvin Klein to complain about "Ocean", and is instead asked to be an underwear model. In the first advertisement to feature Kramer, Elaine notices that his genitals are accidentally exposed.
List of first overall NBA draft picks

The first overall pick in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is the player who is selected first among all eligible draftees by a team during the league's annual draft. The first pick is awarded to the team that wins the NBA draft lottery; in most cases, that team had a losing record in the previous season. The NBA team that garners the top overall draft pick selection generates significant media attention, as does the respective player who eventually gets selected with that first pick.
Eleven first picks have won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award: Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (record six-time winner), Bill Walton, Magic Johnson (three-time winner), Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan (two-time winner), LeBron James (four-time winner), and Derrick Rose (youngest winner).
China's Yao Ming (2002), Italy's Andrea Bargnani (2006), France's Victor Wembanyama (2023) and Zaccharie Risacher (2024) are the only players without competitive experience in the United States to be drafted first overall. Eleven other international players with U.S. college experience have been drafted first overall—Mychal Thompson (Bahamas) in 1978, Olajuwon (Nigeria) in 1984, Patrick Ewing (Jamaica) in 1985, Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands) in 1997, Michael Olowokandi (Nigeria) in 1998, Andrew Bogut (Australia) in 2005, Kyrie Irving (Australia) in 2011, Anthony Bennett (Canada) in 2013, Andrew Wiggins (Canada) in 2014, Ben Simmons (Australia) in 2016, and Deandre Ayton (Bahamas) in 2018. Duncan is an American citizen, but is considered an "international" player by the NBA because he was not born in one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. Ewing had dual Jamaican-American citizenship when he was drafted, and Irving and Simmons had dual Australian-American citizenship when they were drafted.
Note that the drafts between 1947 and 1949 were held by the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The Basketball Association of America became the National Basketball Association after absorbing teams from the National Basketball League in the fall of 1949. Official NBA publications include the BAA Drafts as part of the NBA's draft history.
Pick-up (filmmaking)

In filmmaking, a pick-up is a small, relatively minor shot filmed or recorded after the fact to augment footage already shot. When entire scenes are redone, it is referred to as a re-shoot or additional photography.
During principal photography, the director may choose to ask for another take (meaning that every movable object and person in the scene returns to their starting positions and the entire shot is recorded all over again), or may ask for a pick-up shot of only the faulty portion of an otherwise satisfactory take. In the latter situation, the script supervisor is expected to record in their notes that a pick-up shot was called for (so the film editor can understand and correctly edit the resulting footage) and also help prompt or "cue" the relevant actor by reading the last line before that actor's line. It is increasingly common for a director to not immediately call "cut" after a blooper, but instead leave the camera rolling and call for a pick-up, which makes pick-up shots an exception to the normal rule that a script supervisor does not cue actors while the camera is rolling.
When a pick-up shot is created in this manner to be edited into the middle of an existing shot, the script supervisor must ensure the director also creates "bridge shots" to bridge what would otherwise look like jarring jump cuts from the master shot to the pick-up shot and back. These can be close-ups, cutaways, or shots of the same scene from different angles.
Pick-up shots and re-shoots can also occur after principal photography is complete—after continuity, logic, or quality issues are identified during the film editing process. In other words, they can occur months after the sets have been struck, the costumes and props have been stored, and all the cast and most of the crew have moved on to other projects. In deciding whether to proceed, the director and producer must carefully balance the substantial expense of reuniting key cast and crew members on set against whether pick-ups or re-shoots are absolutely necessary to fix plot holes (or worse) in the final cut.
Pick-ups and reshoots themselves can pose significant continuity issues. For example, if the original costumers or makeup artists are unavailable (or if rented costumes and wigs were returned and original makeup supplies were entirely used up), then their replacements must study their predecessors' work and precisely match whatever was used during the original film shoot.

কাজাখ রন্ধনশৈলী

কাজাখ রন্ধনশৈলী হচ্ছে কাজাখস্তানের খাবার এবং ঐতিহ্যগতভাবে মাটন এবং ঘোড়ার মাংস এবং বিভিন্ন দুগ্ধজাত পণ্য নিয়ে যা গড়ে উঠেছে। শত শত বছর ধরে কাজাখরা পশুপালক ছিল। তারা চর্বিওয়ালা লেজের ভেঁড়া, ব্যক্ট্রিয়ান উট এবং ভেঁড়া পালন করতো। তারা এসব প্রাণীর ওপর পরিবহন, পোষাকাদি এবং খাদ্যের জন্য নির্ভর করতো।। রান্নার কৌশল এবং প্রধান উপাদানগুলি জাতিটির যাযাবর জীবনধারা দ্বারা দৃঢ়ভাবে প্রভাবিত হয়েছে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, প্রায় সব রান্নার কৌশলগুলির লক্ষ্য থাকে খাদ্যদ্রব্যের দীর্ঘমেয়াদী সংরক্ষণ। মাংসে লবণ দিয়ে এবং মাংস শুকিয়ে রাখা হতো বৃহৎ পরিসরে যাতে দীর্ঘদিন টিকে থাকে। টক দুধ খাওয়ার প্রচলন ছিলো কারণ যাযাবর জীবনে এটা সহজে সংরক্ষণ করা যেতো।.
বিভিন্ন আকারে মাংস সবসময় কাজাখ রান্নার প্রাথমিক উপাদান হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয় এবং প্রথাগত কাজাখ রান্নার ধরন হচ্ছে ফুটানো। মাংসের মধ্যে সর্বাধিক জনপ্রিয় হচ্ছে মাটন ও ঘোড়ার মাংস। বড় বড় টুকরো মাংস পরিবেশন করাও জনপ্রিয় হয় যা ফুটিয়ে সিদ্ধ করা হয়। কাজাখরা জবাইয়ের জন্য রাখা ঘোড়ার বিশেষ যত্ন নেয়। তাদেরকে অন্যান্য প্রাণী থেকে আলাদা করে রাখে। তাদেরকে বেশি বেশি করে খাবার দেয়। প্রায়ই ঘোড়াগুলি এত চর্বিযুক্ত হয়ে পড়ে যে তাদের নড়াচড়া করাও কঠিন হয়ে পড়ে।
কাজাখ রান্নার মূল ভিত্তি হচ্ছে টর্ট টালিক মাল - চার ধরনের গবাদি পশু (বা চার ধরনের মাংস): ঘোড়া, উট, গরু এবং ভেড়া। ঘোড়ার মাংস হল প্রধান উৎসব মাংস, মেষের মাংস সাধারণ মাংস হিসাবে ব্যবহৃত হয়, উটের মাংসটিও উৎসব অনুষ্ঠানের মাংস, কিন্তু প্রধান নয় কারণ কাজাখস্তানে ঘোড়ার মতো উট সহজে পাওয়া যায় না। গরুর মাংস হল সাধারণ মাংস।
ঘোড়া বা ভেড়ার মাংস সিদ্ধ করে তৈরী করা বেশবেরমেক সর্বাধিক জনপ্রিয় কাজাখ খাবার। এটাকে খাবার ধরনের উপর ভিত্তি করে “পঞ্চ অঙ্গুলী” বলা হয়। সিদ্ধ মাংসের টুকরোগুলো কেটে অতিথির গুরুত্ব অনুসারে পরিবেশন করা হয়। বেশবারমেওক সিদ্ধ পাস্তা দিয়ে খাওয়া হয় এবং সাথে সরপা নামে এক প্রকার মাংসের ঝোল থাকে যা ঐতিহ্যবাহী কাজাখ বাটি কেসেতে ঢেলে পরিবেশন করা হয়। কাজাখদের আরেকটি জাতীয় খাবার হচ্ছে “কুউরদাক”।
অন্যান্য জনপ্রিয় মাংসের খাবারের মধ্যে আছে “কেজি” যা ঘোড়া মাংস দিয়ে তৈরী হয়ে। শুধুমাত্র বিত্তশালীরা খেয়ে থাকে “শুঝুক”, “কুইরদাক”, “ঝাল” এবং “ঝায়া” ইত্যাদি। কাজাখস্তানের আরেকটি জনপ্রিয় খাবার হচ্ছে পিলাফ (পোলাও) যা চাল ও মাংস মিশিয়ে রান্না করা হয় এবং এতে গাজর, পেঁয়াজ ইত্যাদি দেয়া হয়।
গাগাউজ রন্ধনশৈলী

গাগাউজ রান্না গাগাউজ জনগণের খাদ্য সংস্কৃতিকে বোঝায়। এতে দুধজাত পণ্য ও মাংসের গুরুত্ব তাদের যাযাবর অতীতকে প্রতিফলিত করে, আর শস্য তাদের কৃষিজীবনকে তুলে ধরে।
গাগাউজরা দুধ সংরক্ষণ ও মাংস প্রক্রিয়াকরণের বিশেষ পদ্ধতি অনুসরণ করে। তারা পশুর চামড়ায় পনির, মাংস ও ছাগলের দুধের পনির সংরক্ষণ করে। তাদের জনপ্রিয় খাবারের মধ্যে রয়েছে মাথার পনিরের বিশেষ সংস্করণ ও ঠান্ডা কাটস জেলি, যা পশুর মাথা ও পা থেকে প্রস্তুত করা হয় এবং সাধারণত উৎসবে পরিবেশিত হয়। আরেকটি ঐতিহ্যবাহী খাবার হলো কুরবান, যেখানে বুলগুর গমের পোরিজের সঙ্গে ধর্মীয়ভাবে জবাই করা ভেড়ার মাংস মেশানো হয়। গাগাউজ মাংসের খাবার সাধারণত ঝাল সসে পরিবেশিত হয়।
অনেক পারিবারিক উৎসব ও আচার-অনুষ্ঠান রুটি তৈরির সঙ্গে যুক্ত। এর মধ্যে রয়েছে গমের রুটি (কালাচেস) ও খামিরবিহীন ফ্ল্যাটকেক। পাইও বেশ জনপ্রিয়। প্রচলিত পাইগুলোর মধ্যে রয়েছে স্তরিত পাই, যা ভেড়ার দুধের পনিরে ভরা হয় এবং ওভেনে দেওয়ার আগে টক দইয়ে ভিজিয়ে রাখা হয়। এছাড়া খোসাসহ কুমড়ো দিয়ে তৈরি পাই ও মিষ্টি পাই রয়েছে, যা সদ্য বাচ্চা দেওয়া গরুর প্রথম দুধ থেকে প্রস্তুত করা হয়।
প্রায় সব খাবারের সঙ্গে লাল ওয়াইন পরিবেশন করা হয়।
আচার

আচার হল ব্রাইনে অ্যানেরোবিক গাঁজন বা ভিনেগারে নিমজ্জিত করে খাদ্যের স্থায়িত্বকাল সংরক্ষণ বা বাড়ানোর প্রক্রিয়া। আচার পদ্ধতি সাধারণত খাবারের বয়ন ও গন্ধকে প্রভাবিত করে। ফলস্বরূপ খাদ্যকে আচার বলা হয়, বা অস্পষ্টতা রোধ করার জন্য আচার দিয়ে সূচনা করা হয়। আচারযুক্ত খাবারের মধ্যে রয়েছে শাকসবজি, ফল, মাংস, মাছ, দুগ্ধজাত খাবার ও ডিম।
আচার দ্রবণ সাধারণত উচ্চ অম্লীয়, যার পিএইচ ৪.৬ বা এর কম, এবং লবণের পরিমাণ বেশি, উৎসেচককে কাজ করতে ও অণুজীবের সংখ্যাবৃদ্ধি হতে বাধা দেয়। আচারীকরণ কয়েক মাস পচনশীল খাবার সংরক্ষণ করতে পারে। প্রায়ই এতে জীবাণু নিরোধক ভেষজ ও মশলা যেমন সরিষা, রসুন, দারুচিনি বা লবঙ্গ যোগ করা হয়। যদি খাবারে পর্যাপ্ত আর্দ্রতা থাকে তবে শুকনো লবণ যোগ করে একটি আচারের ব্রাইন তৈরি করা যেতে পারে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, স্যুরক্রট (টক বাঁধাকপি) এবং কোরীয় কিমচি উৎপাদন করা হয় অতিরিক্ত লবণ দিয়ে এই শাকসবজি থেকে পানি বের করে দিয়ে। ঘরের তাপমাত্রায় প্রাকৃতিক গাঁজন ল্যাকটিক অ্যাসিড ব্যাকটেরিয়া দ্বারা প্রয়োজনীয় অম্লতা তৈরি হয়। অন্যান্য আচার সবজি ভিনেগারে রেখে তৈরি করা হয়। ক্যানিং প্রক্রিয়ার মতো আচার (যার মধ্যে গাঁজন অন্তর্ভুক্ত) সিল করার আগে খাদ্যকে সম্পূর্ণরূপে জীবাণুমুক্ত করার প্রয়োজন হয় না। দ্রবণের অম্লতা বা লবণাক্ততা, গাঁজন তাপমাত্রা ও অক্সিজেনের বর্জন নির্ধারণ করে যে কোন অণুজীবগুলি আধিপত্য বিস্তার করবে ও শেষে পণ্যের স্বাদ নির্ধারণ করবে।
বাংলাদেশের বা বঙ্গের রন্ধনপ্রণালীতে আচার অনেক বড় ভূমিকা রাখে। সিলেটের সাতকরা আচার ও খুলনার চুই ঝাল আচার হচ্ছে, বাংলার ভীষণ জনপ্রিয় দুটি আচার। এছাড়াও আমের আচার, চালতার আচার, বরইয়ের আচার, আমড়ার আচার ও কামরাঙার আচার তো আছেই। আরও আছে, ভাতের সঙ্গে খাওয়ার জন্য সবজি আচার, রসুনের আচার, কাসুন্দি আচার, ইত্যাদি, ইত্যাদি। দৈনন্দিন রান্নাবান্নাতে আম তেল ব্যবহার করা খুলনাতে খুবই সাধারণ।
মোর (সাউন্ডট্র্যাক)

মোর ব্রিটিশ রক ব্যান্ড পিংক ফ্লয়েডের প্রথম সাউন্ডট্র্যাক এবং তৃতীয় স্টুডিও অ্যালবাম। এটি ১৯৬৯ সালের ১৩ জুন ইএমআই কলাম্বিয়া থেকে যুক্তরাজ্যে এবং ৯ আগস্ট টাওয়ার রেকর্ডস থেকে মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রে প্রকাশিত হয়। এটি ১৯৬৯ সালের একই নামের চলচ্চিত্রের জন্য নির্মিত সাউন্ডট্র্যাক, যেটি প্রাথমিকভাবে ইবিজায় ধারণকৃত বারবেট শ্রোডারের পরিচালনায় অভিষেক চলচ্চিত্র। এটি ছিল প্রাক্তন ব্যান্ড নেতা সিড ব্যারেটের কোন প্রকার সাহচার্য ব্যাতীত ব্যান্ডের প্রথম অ্যালবাম।
অ্যালবামটি যুক্তরাজ্যের শীর্ষ দশটি হিট অ্যালবামের একটি ছিল, তবে এটি মিশ্র পর্যালোচনা লাভ করেছিল। যদিও পরবর্তী বছরগুলিতেএর বেশকিছু গান সরাসরি পরিবেশনায় জনপ্রিয় হয়ে উঠে।
পিংক ফ্লয়েড এই অ্যালবামের আগে বেশকয়েকটি চলচ্চিত্রের সঙ্গীত রেকর্ড করেছিল। ১৯৬৭ সালের ডিসেম্বরে, তারা বিবিসি'র টুমরো'স ওয়ার্ল্ড অনুষ্ঠানে প্রদর্শিত হয়, একটি লাইট শোতে পরিবেশন করেছিল এবং পরের বছর দ্য কমিটি চলচ্চিত্রের জন্য কিছু যন্ত্রসঙ্গীত রেকর্ড করে।
মোর চলচ্চিত্রটিতে ইবিজার একজন তরুণ হিচহাইকারকে দেখানো হয়েছে যে পার্টির দৃশ্যসমূহ এবং মাদক গ্রহণের সাথে হেরোইন অপব্যবহারে মাধ্যমে আত্মহত্যা করেছিল। পরিচালক বারবেট শ্রোডার পিংক ফ্লয়েডের একজন অনুরাগী ছিলেন, এবং তাদের সাথে কাজ করার জন্য লন্ডনে চলচ্চিত্রের একটি মোটামুটি কাট নিয়ে উপস্থিত হন। সাধারণ ব্যাকগ্রাউন্ড মিউজিকের পরিবর্তে, শ্রোডার চেয়েছিলেন যে গানগুলি চলচ্চিত্রে দেখানো হোক, যেমন একটি পার্টিতে রেকর্ড বাজানো হচ্ছে এমন। তবে পিংক ফ্লয়েড অনুমান করেছিল যে তারা যদি তাদের রেকর্ডিং এবং ট্যুরিং ক্যারিয়ারে কাজ না করে তবে তারা চলচ্চিত্রের কম্পোজার হিসেবে ক্যারিয়ারে শাখা তৈরি করতে পারে। ড্রামার নিক মেইসন পরে বলেছিলেন যে চলচ্চিত্রটি "আমরা নিয়মিতভাবে উৎপাদিত কিছু রম্বলিং, স্কুইকস এবং সাউন্ড টেক্সচারের জন্য আদর্শভাবে উপযুক্ত"।

ঝাল মাগসি পাকিস্তানের কেন্দ্রীয় বেলুচিস্তানে প্রদেশে অবস্থিত একটি অন্যতম জেলা। পূর্বে কচি জেলার অংশ হিসেবে পরিচালিত হত। একটি নিজস্ব জেলা হিসেবে ১৯৯১ সালের ডিসেম্বরে জেলাটি প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল এবং সংক্ষিপ্ত সময়ের জন্য এটি কচি নামে পরিচিত ছিল (পুরাতন কচি জেলার পরবর্তীতে নামকরণ করা হয় বলান)। এরপর সর্বশেষ ১৯৯২ সালের মে মাসে পুনরায় নাম পরিবর্তন করে ঝাল মাগসি নামকরণ করা হয়। জেলাটি মূলতঃ ঝাল শহরের নামের সাথে মিলিয়ে নামকরণ করা হয়। এখানকার প্রধান আসন মাগসি গোত্রের সমন্বয়ে গঠিত এবং প্রধান উপজাতি হচ্ছে বেলুচি সম্প্রদায়। ঐতিহাসিকভাবে, মাগসি উপজাতিরা পূর্ববর্তী লশারী উপজাতি থেকে বিভক্ত হয়ে গঠিত হয়েছে।
জেলাটি ২টি প্রধান শহর রয়েছে; একটি গানদাওয়াহ, প্রশাসনিক কেন্দ্র হিসেবে পরিচালিত হয় এবং অপরটি ঝাল মাগসি। জেলাটিতে একটি হাসপাতাল রয়েছে যেখানে বেলুচিস্তান ভাইদের সাহায্য করার জন্য পাঞ্জাব সরকার কর্তৃক নির্মিত হয়েছিল।
জেলাটিতে প্রধান ধর্ম ইসলাম, যেখানে প্রায় (৯৮.৭%), যদিও সংখ্যালঘু হিন্দু রয়েছে (১%)। সবচেয়ে বহুল ব্যবহৃত প্রথম ভাষা হচ্ছে বেলচি (৬৯%), সিন্ধি (২১%) এবং সারাইকি (৪.২%) লোকজন কথা বলে থাকে।

গুন্টুর সান্নাম

গুন্টুর সান্নাম বা Capsicum annuum var. Longhum হচ্ছে সুপরিচিত ঝালসমূহের মধ্যে অন্যতম এবং পৃথিবীব্যাপী এই জাতের ঝালের চাহিদা ব্যাপক। ভারতের অন্ধ্র প্রদেশের গুন্টুর জেলা এবং তেলেঙ্গানা রাজ্যের ওয়ার‍্যাঙ্গেল ও খাম্মাম জেলার বিস্তৃত জমিতে গুন্টুর ঝাল চাষ করা হয়।
গুন্টুর সাম্মাম ঝাল হচ্ছে ক্যাপসিকাম এন্নাম প্রজাতির ঝাল। মসলা এবং সবজি হিসেবে ব্যবহারের জন্য বাণিজ্যিক ভাবে গুন্টুর সাম্মাম ঝালের চাষাবাদ করা হয়। ভারতীয়দের মধ্যে মাথাপ্রতি ব্যবহৃত মশলার বড় অংশ ঝুড়ে আছে ঝাল।
প্রায় ৪০০ বছর ধরে ভারতবর্ষে ঝালের চাষ হচ্ছে। ঝাল উৎপাদনে ভারতের বৈশ্বিক অবস্থান শীর্ষে। ভারতে উৎপাদিত মোট ঝালের ৪৬% উৎপাদিত হয় অন্ধপ্রদেশ রাজ্যে এবং ঝাল উৎপাদনে অন্ধ্রপ্রদেশ ভারতের শীর্ষস্থান অধিকারকারী রাজ্য। ঝালটির নামই প্রমাণ করে যে এটি অন্ধপ্রদেশের মৌলিক ঝাল। ঝালের উপর গবেষণার জন্য তিন দশক পূর্বে অন্ধ্র প্রদেশ সরকার গুন্টুরে একটি আঞ্চলিক গবেষণা প্রতিষ্ঠান গড়ে তোলে। বর্তমান সময়ে ঝাল সেখানকার প্রধান অর্থকরী ফসল এবং এই জাতের ঝালের চাষাবাদ তাদের জীবিকার উৎস হিসেবে পরিণত হয়েছে।
তেলুগু শব্দ সাম্মাম অর্থ চিকন। নামের দ্বারাই ফলের বৈশিষ্ট্য প্রকাশ পায়। গুন্টুর সাম্মাম অর্থ হচ্ছে গুটুর অঞ্চলে উৎপাদিত চিকন ঝাল।
গুন্টুর ঝালের প্রধান ফলন মৌসুম হচ্ছে ডিসেম্বর থেকে মে। বছরে প্রায় ২৮০,০০০ টন গুন্টুর সান্নাম ঝাল উৎপন্ন হয়। সর্বোচ্চ ফলন পেতে একটি নির্দিষ্ট ব্যবস্থায় গুন্টুর সান্নাম ঝালের চাষাবাদ সম্পন্ন করতে হয়। ফসলটি উচ্চমাত্রায় রোগাক্রান্ত হয় তাই ভালো ফলন পেতে বিশেষ যত্ন এবং লক্ষ্য প্রয়োজন।
ভৌগোলিক অঞ্চল হিসেবে গুটুর সান্নাম ঝাল প্রধানত অন্ধ্রপ্রদেশের গুন্টুর জেলাতেই আবাদ, প্রক্রিয়াকরণ এবং বাজারজাতকরণ করা হয়। তবে পার্শ্ববর্তী অঞ্চল যেমন প্রকাশম, ওয়ারাঙ্গেল এবং খাম্মাম জেলায়ও গুন্টুর সাম্মাম ঝালের চাষ হয়। গুন্টুর সাম্মাম ঝালের বৃদ্ধির জন্য উষ্ণ এবং আর্দ্র আবহাওয়া উপযোগী এবং পাকার সময়ে শুষ্ক আবহাওয়া প্রয়োজন।
Malvani cuisine

Malvani cuisine is the standard cuisine of the South Konkan region of the Indian states of Maharashtra and Goa. Although Malvani cuisine is predominantly non-vegetarian, there are many vegetarian dishes. Although it is an independent cuisine, it overlaps Maharashtrian cuisine and Goan cuisine. Malvan is a town in the Sindhudurg district on the west coast of Maharashtra.
Malvani cuisine uses coconut liberally in various forms such as grated, dry-grated, fried, coconut paste and coconut milk. Many masalas have dried red chilies and other spices like coriander seeds, peppercorns, cumin, cardamom, ginger and garlic. Some dishes also use kokum, dried kokam (amsul), tamarind, and raw mango (kairi). The Malvani masala, a form of dried powder masala, is a combination of 15 to 16 dry spices. This masala is coarsely ground and stored in jars to be utilized when required. However, not all of the cuisine is hot and spicy; the Konkanastha Brahmin style of food is an example of less spicy food.
Fish dishes dominate Malvani cuisine. Solkadhi is a pink-colored drink made from the kokam fruit (Garcinia indica) and coconut milk.
Rat na

Rat na (Thai: ราดหน้า, RTGS: ratna, pronounced [râːt.nâː]; literally: 'topping'), also written rad na, is a Thai-Chinese noodle dish. The name of the dish is pronounced [ɹäːt̚˦˩ näː˦˩] in Thai colloquial speech.
It is made with stir-fried wide rice noodles, a meat such as chicken, beef, pork, or seafood or tofu, garlic, and gai lan (Thai: คะน้า; RTGS: khana). The dish is then covered in a sauce made with fermented soy beans and thickened with tapioca starch or cornstarch. It is seasoned with dark soy sauce, fish sauce, and ground white pepper. In Thailand, people often sprinkle some sugar, fish sauce, sliced chilies preserved in vinegar (with some of the vinegar), and/or toasted, ground dried red chilies on the dish.
There are variants, including using rice vermicelli instead of the wide noodles, and using deep-fried thin egg noodles (mi krop), with the sauce poured on to soften them.
In areas where gai lan can not be easily obtained, broccoli or broccolini can be used as a substitute.
Rat na was originally cooked in China, prepared only in high-end restaurants where it became very successful. Teochew people (Chinese people native to the Chaoshan region) began cooking and selling it to working-class people and its popularity spread to Thailand.
Originally, rat na in Thailand was made with a little extra sauce and covered with a banana leaf. Diners themselves cut the fat noodles, which were large and circular, as they ate.
The notable rat na (including Pad See Ew) areas in Bangkok such as Tanao road in Phra Nakhon near Giant Swing and Bangkok City Hall, Wang Burapha near Thieves' Market and Saphan Lek, Sam Yan neighborhood in Pathum Wan, or Yaowarat neighborhood in Chinatown.
Agmark

AGMARK is a certification mark employed on agricultural products in India, assuring that they conform to a set of standards approved by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection an attached Office of the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare under Ministry of Agricultural & Farmers Welfare an agency of the Government of India. The AGMARK Head Office at Faridabad (Haryana) is legally enforced in India by the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act of 1937 (and amended in 1986). The present AGMARK standards cover quality guidelines for 224 different commodities spanning a variety of pulses, cereals, essential oils, vegetable oils, Fruits and Vegetables and semi-processed products like vermicelli.
The term agmark was coined by joining the words 'Ag' to mean agriculture and 'mark' for a certification mark. This term was introduced originally in the bill presented in the parliament of India for the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act.
The entire system of Agmark, including the name, was created by Archibald MacDonald Livingstone, Agricultural and Marketing Advisory to the Government of India, from 1934 to 1941. He was supported by a staff of several hundred. The system was designed to benefit local growers throughout India who were, in the absence of a certification as to quality, exposed to receiving less for their produce from dealers than its true worth.
The Agmark certification is employed through fully state-owned Agmark laboratories located across the nation which act as testing and certifying centres. In addition to the Central AGMARK Laboratory (CAL) in Nagpur, there are Regional AGMARK Laboratories (RALs) in 11 nodal cities (Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Kanpur, Kochi, Guntur, Amritsar, Jaipur, Rajkot, Bhopal). Each of the regional laboratories is equipped with and specializes in the testing of products of regional significance. Hence the product range that could be tested varies across the centres.
The testing done across these laboratories include chemical analysis, microbiological analysis, pesticide residue, and aflatoxin analysis on whole spices, ground spices, ghee, butter, vegetable oils, mustard oil, honey, food grains (wheat), wheat products (atta, suji, and maida), gram flour, soybean seed,jowar,bajra, bengal gram, ginger, oil cake, NON edible oil, oils and fats, animal casings, meat and other food products.
Certification marks in India

India has a comprehensive system of product certifications governed by laws made by the Parliament of India at various times. These certifications are managed by various agencies, and hold various statuses before the law. Some of these marks are mandatory for such products to be manufactured or to be placed in the Indian market while some of the marks hold only an advisory status. All the industrial standardisation and industrial product certifications are governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards often abbreviated as BIS, the national standards organisation of India, while standards for other areas (like agricultural products) are developed and managed by other governmental agencies.
The state enforced certification marks presently in India are (alphabetical list):
labels required by the law in India, but are not exactly certifications marks (alphabetical list).
There are other non-statutory certification marks or schemes in India which are promoted by the Government of India, by policy, or through governmental or semi-governmental agencies. But these certifications bear no legal status in the nation and are purely promotional in nature.
Examples of such certifications are:

Hot Hot Hot (Arrow song)

"Hot Hot Hot" is a song written and first recorded by Montserratian musician Arrow, featured on his 1982 studio album, Hot Hot Hot. The song was a commercially successful dance floor single, with cover versions subsequently released by artists in several countries, including in 1987 by American singer Buster Poindexter. The song was Arrow's first chart hit, peaking at No. 59 on the UK Singles Chart. A remix of the song, dubbed as the "World Carnival Mix '94" was later released in 1994 and peaked higher than the original, at number 38 on the UK Singles Chart.
Notes:
The song was covered in 1987 by American singer David Johansen, as his lounge singer persona Buster Poindexter, and released as the first single from his album Buster Poindexter. It garnered extensive airplay through radio, MTV, and other television appearances.
A music video was produced for Johansen's version of the song, in which he appears both as Buster Poindexter and as himself. The video begins with Johansen mentioning his role as the frontman for the 1970s proto-punk band New York Dolls, showing the band's albums and tossing them aside while talking about the "really outrageous clothes" he wore and how he came to be interested in a "refined and dignified kind of a situation", which leads into the song.
In an interview on National Public Radio, Johansen called the tune "the bane of my life", owing to its pervasive popularity as a karaoke and wedding song.
Calocybe gambosa

Calocybe gambosa, sin. Tricholoma georgii, denumită în popor buretele lui Sfântu’ Gheorghe, burete de mai, burete de spin sau nicorete, este o specie saprofită de ciuperci comestibile din încrengătura Basidiomycota în familia Lyophyllaceae și de genul Calocybe. Ea se poate găsi în România, Basarabia și Bucovina de Nord prin pajiști și pășuni de munte, tufișuri, parcuri, la margini de pădure și luminișuri (mai rar în păduri de conifere), crescând în „cercuri de vrăjitoare”, semicercuri în formă de potcoavă sau șiruri lungi. Ea apare timpuriu cum indică și numele (ziua lui Sfântul Gheorghe = 23 aprilie), cam des din aprilie până iunie (mai rar din iulie până în septembrie, chiar octombrie). Specia a fost descrisă pentru prima oară de Elias Magnus Fries în volumul 1 al trilogiei sale Systema Mycologicum din anul 1821.
Ordinul Agaricales este de diversificare foarte veche (între 178 și 139 milioane de ani), începând din timpul perioadei geologice în Jurasic în diferență de exemplu cu genul Boletus (între 44 și 34 milioane de ani).
Există mai mulți bureți care în special în tinerețe pot fi confundați cuTricholoma georgii.
Buretele lui Sfântu’ Gheorghe se consumă cel mai bine proaspăt. Astfel el poate fi preparat ca ciulama de ciuperci cu smântâna sau într-o salată cu cașcaval și iaurt, mai departe ca sos la un fileu de pește (de exemplu cod), într-un gratinat cu roșii, ceapă și brânză, într-un sos cu carne tocată și usturoi la macaroane sau ca partea unui pateu de ciuperci.
Buretele de mai este vândut în multe țări în cantități mari la piață.
Dați seama că această specie poate fi confundată cu unele extrem de toxice.
Susai

Susai (Sonchus arvensis) este o buruiană perenă policarpică cu drajoni, din familia Asteraceae (Compositae), des întâlnită în semănături, culturile timpurii de verdețuri și tufișuri, cu înmulțire prin semințe și muguri radiculari, din care cauză se stârpește cu greu.
Are o înălțime de 80–130 cm. Tulpina, ramificată în partea superioară, este goală, cu vase laticifere, care conțin un suc lăptos caracteristic. Frunze sesile, penat sectate, cu marginea dințată și spinoasă. Calatidiile (un tip de inflorescență) sunt mici, grupate aproape corimbiform. Are flori galbene. Fructe achene costate cu un papus lung.
Se înmulțește rapid prin semințe și prin muguri radiculari, care, în condiții prielnice, pot depăși 2000 muguri/m; fiecare plantă produce până la 19.000 de semințe. Rădăcina pătrunde în sol până la 50 cm adâncime și emite o mulțime de ramificații (rădăcini) orizontale lungi până la 1 m, care se mențin la o adâncime mică, 6–15 cm de la suprafața solului, și care formează o rețea, din mugurii căreia ies la suprafață un număr mare de plante. Susaiul nu este rezistent la secetă, deoarece rădăcinile sunt superficiale.
Înflorește și fructifică din iunie-iulie până în septembrie. Germinația din semințe se face primăvara târziu, când solul este destul de încălzit, de aceea buruiana scapă de plivit și frecvent de prășit.
Este răspândit în locuri semiaride, subumede și umede, pe solurile fertile, unde formează asociații compacte, mai ales pe cernoziomurile din Câmpia Transilvaniei și stepa nordică a României, mai rar în regiunile uscate și calde din sudul țării.
Invadează mai ales culturile timpurii de verdețuri: salată, spanac, ceapă și usturoi verde și culturile de primăvară: orzul, ovăzul, mazărea, lintea, cânepa, floarea soarelui, etc. Susaiul crește în asociație compactă mai ales în anii ploioși prin terenuri cu orz de primăvară, linte, etc, compromițând total recolta acestor plante.
Combaterea susaiului se face prin mai multe metode: plivit, prășit, metoda epuizării, asolament cu ogor negru, dezmiriștire, care este urmată de arături de vară sau prin combatere chimică.
Lista țărilor producătoare de tomate

Lista țărilor producătoare de tomate clasifică țările lumii în funcție de producția de tomate (în mii de tone), de productivitate (în kg/ha) și de suprafața cultivată (în mii de hectare) în anul 2022 și oferă date comparative pentru perioada 2013-2022. Datele provin din baza de date FAOSTAT a Organizației pentru Alimentație și Agricultură a Națiunilor Unite (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - FAO).
Producția anuală de tomate la nivel global în anul 2022 a fost de 186.107.972 tone, cu 1,69% mai puțin decât în anul 2021, când s-a înregistrat o cantitate totală de 189.281.485 tone. China a fost de departe cel mai mare producător la nivel mondial, producția sa reprezentând peste o treime (36,7%) din totalul producției globale.
Din punct de vedere al suprafeței cultivate, România ocupa în 2022 locul 36 în lume și locul 3 în Uniunea Europeană, după Italia și Spania. Randamentul la hectar, de 17.409,4 kg/ha - locul 110 în lume și locul 25 în Uniunea Europeană (penultimul, depășind doar Estonia, întrucât Letonia și Luxemburg nu au cultivat tomate), a fost mai mic de jumătate din randamentul mediu la nivel global, de 37.844,2 kg/ha, și de aproape 27 de ori mai mic decât cel al Belgiei, de 466.875 kg/ha, cel mai mare din lume. Din punct de vedere al producției, România s-a clasat pe locul 8 în Uniunea Europeană și pe locul 57 în lume.
Barbu Vlădoianu

Barbu Vlădoianu (n. 1812 – d. 1876) a fost un general și om politic român din secolul al XIX-lea.
A fost primul primar al Bucureștiului (august 1864 - octombrie 1865) și a ocupat funcția de ministru de război (al Apărării Naționale) între 21 februarie 1859 și 3 mai 1859.
În timpul primului său mandat ca edil al capitalei, morile de apă de pe râul Dâmbovița au fost desființate și a fost proiectat un sistem de canalizare a râului pentru a împiedica inundațiile constante până la acea dată. Barbu Vlădoianu a organizat primul corp de pietrari, în vederea pietruirii străzilor Bucureștiului. În 1865 a fost înființat, de către primar, Oficiul de stare civilă și a fost semnat contractul de cesiune pentru construirea primei linii de cale ferată de pe teritoriul României: București - Giurgiu.
În cel de-al doilea mandat, Vlădoianu a dispus începerea lucrărilor de pavare cu gresie și granit a Podului Mogoșoaia (actuala Calea Victoriei, din 1878). Lucrările au fost finalizate în 1872. Prima linie de tramvai tras de cai („tramcar”) a fost inaugurată în decembrie 1872 și făcea legătura între Gara Târgoviștei (actuala Gară de Nord) și bariera Moșilor.
A murit în 1876 și a fost înmormântat la cimitirul Bellu din București. În prezent, o stradă din sectorul 1 al capitalei îi poartă numele.
Tramvaiul din Viena

Rețeaua de tramvaie din Viena (în germană Wiener Straßenbahn-Netz) face parte din sistemul de transport public din orașul Viena, care este capitala Austriei și cel mai mare oraș ca mărime din Austria. Ea a funcționat ca rețea de transport cu tramvaie cu cai în perioada 1865-1903, cu tramvaie cu aburi în perioada 1883-1922 și cu tramvaie electrice din 1897. Rețeaua s-a dezvoltat mult în perioada interbelică (1918-1939) și este în prezent una dintre cele mai mari rețele mondiale de tramvai, cu o lungime totală de aproximativ 180 km. Ea are în prezent 29 de linii.
Furnizorul de servicii este compania Wiener Linien. Lungimea totală a liniilor este de 221,5 km. Tramvaiele circulă pe un ecartament standard de 1435 mm. În 2009, un total de 186,9 milioane de pasageri au utilizat rețeaua de tramvaie din Viena.
În Viena se află un muzeu al tramvaielor denumit Wiener Straßenbahnmuseum. În acest muzeu a fost filmat videoclipul „Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)“ al formației Pussycat Dolls.

Transportul feroviar în Insula Man

Insula Man are o moștenire bogată în ceea ce privește istoria transporturilor și se mândrește cu cea mai mare rețea de cale ferată cu ecartament îngust din Insulele Britanice, având mai multe căi ferate istorice și tramvaie încă în exploatare. Acestea funcționează în mare măsură la așa zisul Ecartament Standard Manx 3' 0" și împreună au în total cca. aproximativ 65 mile (105 km) de căi ferate și linii de tramvai victoriene. Un muzeu de cale ferată în Port Erin permite oamenilor să afle mai multe despre istoria căilor ferate din Insula Man până la sfârșitul anilor 1990. Acest muzeu era „însoțit” de un muzeu similar în Ramsey dedicat istoriei liniei electrice, dar acesta a fost închis și transformat într-un club pentru tineret. Calea ferată pe bază de abur din sudul insulei, cea electrică din nord și cea montană sunt toate deținute de guvern și operate sub denumirea „Isle Of Man Railways” ca o divizie a Departamentul de Turism și Agrement de pe insulă. Liniile de la Groudle Glen și Wild Life Park sunt amândouă proprietate privată, dar deschise pentru public.
Apanaj

Un apanaj (din franceză apanage) este acordarea unei moșii, a unui titlu, a unei funcții, a unor bani sau a unui alt lucru de valoare unui copil mai mic al unui suveran, care altfel nu ar avea dreptul la moștenire în cadrul sistemului de primogenitură (dreptul primului născut). A fost o practică comună în mare parte din Europa.
Sistemul de apanaj a influențat foarte mult construcția teritorială a Franței și a statelor germane și explică de ce multe dintre fostele provincii ale Franței aveau steme care erau versiuni modificate ale stemei regelui.
Eyalet

Eialet sau eyalet (în turcă otomană ايالت) a fost o diviziune administrativă a Imperiului Otoman până la perioada Tanzimat. Termenul este uneori tradus ca „provincie” sau „guvernorat”. În funcție de rangul administratorului subdiviziunii administrative, eialetele au fost numite și pașalâcuri, beilicuri sau kapudanlicuri.
Între 1453 și începutul secolului al XIX-lea, organizarea locală otomană era structurată în mod incosistent. Imperiul a fost împărțit în provincii numite „eialete”, conduse de un pașa cu trei tuiuri.. Marele vizir era responsabil pentru numirile funcționarilor de prim rang ai statului, atât în capitală cât și in provincie. Eialetele au fost desființate între 1861 – 1866, iar teritoriul a fost împărțit din punct de vedere administrativ în vilaiete (Vilâyet).
Eialetele erau în subîmpărțite în districte numite liva sau sangeacuri (sancak), aflate sub controlul unui pașă cu un singur tui, numit „Mirliva” sau „Sangeac-bei”. Provinciile otomane au fost numite de obicei de europeni pașalâcuri. Pașii erau investiți cu puteri absolute de conducere în provinciile de care erau responsabili, fiind investiți drept conducători ai trebuirilor administrative, financiare, judiciare și militare
Pașii (în Asia și Buda și Capudan-pașa) cei mai importanți au fost cei care au condus eialetele Egipt, Bagdad, Abisinia, Buda, Anatolia și Rumelia, restul fiind aranjați în conformitate cu anii în care au fost cucerite regiunile respective.
Propaganda faptei

Propaganda faptei (sau propaganda prin faptă, din franceză propagande par le fait) este o acțiune politică directă specifică menită să fie exemplară pentru alții și să servească drept catalizator pentru revoluție.
Este asociată în primul rând cu acte de violență comise de susținătorii anarhismului insurecționar la sfârșitul secolului al XIX-lea și începutul secolului al XX-lea, inclusiv cu bombardamente și asasinate care vizează clasa conducătoare, dar au avut și aplicații non-violente. Aceste fapte au fost menite să aprindă „spiritul de revoltă” în popor, demonstrând că statul nu este atotputernic și oferind speranță celor asupriți și, de asemenea, să extindă sprijinul pentru mișcările anarhiste, pe măsură ce statul devenea mai represiv în răspunsul său. În 1881, Congresul Internațional Anarhist de la Londra a dat aprobarea tacticii.
Sándor Szana

Sándor Szana (n. 18 august 1868, Timișoara, Austro-Ungaria – d. 3 mai 1926, Budapesta, Regatul Ungariei) a fost un medic pediatru și asistent social maghiar, evreu originar din Banat, pionier al puericulturii, care a activat în Banat și în Ungaria.
Născut la Timișoara într-o familie de evrei, Sándor Szana a studiat medicina la Universitatea Franz Josef din Cluj și a practicat pediatria în orașul natal, în vremea Imperiului Austro-Ungar. În anul 1899 el a întemeiat la Timișoara un spital pentru copii orfani, iar în anul 1900 o policlinică pediatrică. Szana a desfășurat o intensă activitate de educație sanitară în problema ocrotirii sănătății sugarilor și a copiilor abandonați. În 1898 a înființat la Timișoara un buletin medical lunar Unsere Gesundheit (Sănătatea noastră, în limba germană) pentru informarea populației. Szana s-a stabilit ulterior la Budapesta, unde a predat cursuri de îngrijire a sugarilor și copiilor. Între anii 1909-1921 a lucrat ca Medic șef al Orfelinatelor de stat din Budapesta și consilier regal. În spiritul epocii, Szana s-a interesat de teoriile de eugenie - îmbunătățirea biologică a rasei sau a națiunii - preconizând, în scopul atingerii acestui obiectiv, măsuri de ameliorare a sănătății populației, de ocrotire sanitară a copiilor și familiei, programe de asistență socială. În anii 1901 și 1906, Dr. Szana a inițiat la Timișoara primele cursuri din Regatul Ungariei de îngrijirea sugarilor (puericultură) pentru asistente sanitare pediatrice, și a publicat manuale cu acest subiect
