Festivalul Internațional de Film de la Berlin

Festivalul Internațional de Film de la Berlin (în germană Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin), cunoscut și ca Berlinala, este unul din cele mai importante festivaluri de film din lume, care are loc anual la Berlin, în Republica Federală Germania, începând cu anul 1951.

Sibiu Jazz Festival

Sibiu Jazz Festival este unul dintre cele mai mari și longevive festivaluri de jazz din România.
Prima ediție a festivalului a avut loc în anul 1974 la Sibiu. El reprezenta continuarea tradiței Festivalului Național de Jazz care a avut loc la Ploiești între anii 1969-1971. Promotorul principal al festivalului a fost profesorul de muzică sibian Nicolae Ionescu, secondat de alți membrii ai Clubului de jazz din Sibiu pe care profesorul l-a condus.
Festivalul a luat o amploare internațională începând din anul 1977, când a participat și o trupă din Cehoslovacia.
Locația inițială a festivalului, Sala Mare a Casei de Cultură a Sindicatelor (cu o capacitate de 800 de locuri) era în general plină de iubitorii de jazz care veneau la festival din toate colțurile țării și din străinătate. Astfel în anii 80, evenimentele au fost dublate pe scena Teatrului Național Radu Stanca.
Încă de la prima ediție din 1974, Radioul Național a preluat și înregistrat concertele din cadrul festivalului, iar începând cu anul 1978 acestea au fost înregistrate și de Televiziunea Română.
În anul 1997, Hilarius Johannes Konstantin Schmidt a devenit directorul festivalului, activitatea organizatorică fiind preluată de Fundația Pro Art Hermannstadt. Ediția cu numărul 37 a festivalului a reprezentat unul dintre cele mai importante evenimente din cadrul programului Sibiu 2007 – Capitală Culturală Europeană.
Din lipsă de fonduri, ediția din 2014 a fost amânată cu 6 luni, festivalul fiind programat să aibă loc în luna octombrie.

Muzica tradițională săsească

Muzica tradițională săsească reprezintă muzica tradițională și regională a sașilor din Transilvania, o minoritate de origine preponderent germană din România care face parte din grupul minoritar mai larg al germanilor din țară. Muzica tradițională săsească cuprinde teme despre natură, istorie și romantism. Cântece din folclorul sașilor din Transilvania au fost compuse atât în dialectul săsesc cât și în germana standard (i.e., limba germană literară sau Hochdeutsch). Unele cântece tradiționale săsești sunt acompaniate de dansuri tradiționale. În dialectul săsesc, cântecele tradiționale săsești sunt cunoscute ca Såksesch lider. Corul Casei de Cultură din Sighișoara (germană Schäßburg) este un cor cunoscut care a lansat un album de cântece tradiționale săsești în anul 1969 sub bagheta dirijorului Paul Schuller. Albumul a fost lansat de casa de discuri Electrecord.
Muzica tradițională săsească este cântată cu fanfara la ocazii festive sau sărbători ale sașilor din Transilvania precum, cel mai notabil, săptămâna Haferland sau Kronenfest. Cel mai important cântec tradițional săsesc care este interpretat cu aceste ocazii este chiar imnul sașilor transilvani, mai precis Siebenbürgenlied (i.e., Cântecul Transilvaniei). Un cântec popular săsesc cu temă romantică (care reprezintă o elegie prin ultimele versuri ale acestuia) este Bäm Honterstreoch (Beim Holderstracuh în germană standard) cu versuri scrise de Carl Römer și instrumentație/muzică de Hermann Kirchner. Melodia a fost purtată în lume de la Richiș (germană Reichesdorf), Județul Sibiu.
Capră-neagră

Capra neagră (Rupicapra rupicapra) este un animal care face parte din familia Bovidae, subfamilia Caprinae. Ea este răspândită în regiunile muntoase din Europa și Asia Mică. Trăiește în grupuri de 15-30 de capre.
Se cunosc 7 subspecii ale speciei Rupicapra rupicapra: R. r. asiatica, R. r. balcanica, R. r. carpatica, R. r. cartusiana, R. r. caucasica, R. r. rupicapra și R. r. tatrica.
Capra-neagră are o înălțime între 110 și 130 cm, are o coadă scurtă (maximum 7 cm), având înălțimea la greabăn de 75 cm, cântărind între 30 și 50 de kg. Are un corp relativ scund, picioare musculoase cu copită despicată, un gât relativ lung terminat cu un cap scurt prevăzut la ambele genuri cu două coarne inelate și încovoiate spre înapoi. În spatele coarnelor se găsesc două glande care secretă în perioada de împerechere un lichid cleios cu miros neplăcut. În timpul verii capra-neagră are o culoare spălăcită brun-roșcată, partea inferioară a corpului fiind alb-gălbui, având pe spate o dungă neagră. Iarna culoarea caprei este brun închis, brun negricios, fiind alb pe abdomen și picioare, capul fiind de culoare albă-gălbuie, pe creștet având o dungă de culoare închisă.
Capra-neagră trăiește în regiunile înalte stâncoase din munții Alpi, regiunea Savoia (Italia, Elveția) până în sudul Franței, Pirinei, Dalmația, Grecia, iar spre nord până în Anatolia, munții Caucaz, munții Carpați (România), Steiermark (Austria), Tatra Mare (Slovacia), Schwarzwald (Germania).
Animalul trăiește în grupuri de 15 - 30 de capre formate din capre tinere și capre mame. Această structură socială se schimbă în funcție de starea anotimpului. Vara un animal stă tot timpul de pază pentru a da la timp în caz de primejdie semnalul de alarmă. Iarna această supraveghere este mai puțin severă, grupurile conduse de un țap, putându-se amesteca între ele. În luna noiembrie este perioada de împerechere, ca la sfârșitul lunii mai să fie primele fătări de iezi care țin până la începutul lui iunie. Perioada de gestație la caprele-negre durează 6 luni, iezii devin maturi la vârsta de trei ani, iar o capră-neagră poate trăi între 15 și 20 de ani. Hrana lor constă din măceșe alpine, muguri și vlăstari de foioase sau conifere, frunze de plante diferite, iarna caprele consumă mușchi sau licheni. Pericolele la care sunt expuse caprele-negre sunt căderile de stânci, animalele de pradă ca râsul, lupul, ursul, vulturul.
Capră

Capra domestică (Capra aegagrus hircus) este o subspecie domesticită a caprei sălbatice din Asia de sud-vest și Europa de est. Este un membru al familiei bovidelor. Masculul caprei domestice, al caprei negre și al căprioarei se numește țap.
Caprele sunt printre primele animale domesticite de către om. Analiza genetică cea mai recentă confirmă dovezile arheologice și anume că Munții Zagros din Iran sunt originea tuturor caprinele domestice astăzi. O altă sursă genetică majoră de caprine moderne este capra Bezoar, din regiunile muntoase din Asia Mică și Orientul Mijlociu. Păstorii neolitici au început să păstreze caprinele pentru lapte și carne, dar au fost folosite și drept combustibil, pentru îmbrăcăminte, construcții și instrumente. Cele mai timpurii resturi de capre domesticite datând de acum 10.000 ani se găsesc în Ganj Dareh în Iran. Rămășițe de capră au fost găsite la siturile arheologice din Ierihon, Choga, Mami, Djeitun și Cayonu, datând de acum 8000 și 9000 de ani în urmă.
Există peste 300 de rase distincte de capră. Speranța de viață pentru caprine este cuprinsă între 15 și 18 ani. Un exemplar a avut chiar 24 ani.
Caprele sunt extrem de curioase și inteligente. Cele mai multe capre, în mod natural, au două coarne, de diferite forme și mărimi în funcție de rasă. Caprele sunt rumegătoare.
Caprele produc aproximativ 2% din laptele total produs în lume.
Potrivit FAO, producătorii de top, de lapte de capră, în 2008 au fost India (4 milioane tone), Bangladesh (2.16 milioane tone) și Sudan (1.47 tone).
Páirc Mhic Asmaint

Is í Staid Mhic Easmuinn, Páirc Mhic Asmaint, Páirc Mhic Easmainn nó Casement Park mar a ghlaoitear uirthi as Béarla an príomh-staid spóirt ina imrítear na cluichí Gaelacha i gcathair Bhéal Feirste, Tuaisceart Éireann. Is san áit seo a imríonn na foirne as CLG Chontae Aontroma a gcluichí baile. Tagann ainm na páirce ón réabhlóidí Éireannach Ruairí Mac Easmainn, a crochadh tar éis Éirí Amach na Cásca sa bhliain 1916. Tá cóir suí le 32,000 duine ann.
Osclaíodh Páirc Mhic Asmaint i mí an Mheithimh sa bhliain 1953, nuair a bhuaigh na Harps ó Ard Mhacha in éadan Naomh Sheáin ó Chontae Aontroma. Sa bhliain chéanna, imríodh an chéad chluiche ceannais peile Uladh sa pháirc. B'é Ard Mhacha a fuair an lámh in uachtar i gcoinne an Chabháin ar an ócáid sin.
Go hiomlán, imríodh ocht cluichí ceannais Uladh i bPáirc Mhic Asmaint.
Druideadh Páirc Mhic Asmaint i mí an Mheithimh 2013 agus ní raibh baile buan ag an CLG in Aontroim ó shin.
In 2024, tar éis míonna de shiléig agus cur i gcéill na dTóraithe chinn an Lucht Oibre nach gcuirfí maoiniú ar fáil chun Staid Mhic Easmuinn a fhorbairt. Bhí an costas méadaithe go £400 milliún, dar leis na Státrúnaithe Hilary Benn agus Lisa Nandy agus an baol ann, fiú dá gceadófaí an caiteachas nach mbeadh an staid faoi réir in am don chomórtas sacair Euro 2028. I bhfianaise na deighilte is buaine i dTusiceart Éireann, bhí roinnt de lucht leanta sacair ríméadach nach mbeadh Euro 28 á imirt in iarthar ‘náisiúnach’ Bhéal Feirste. B’údar díomá é do mhóramh na ndaoine, daoine a mheas gur dheis amú é.

راماین

رامائن (سنسکرت: रामायणम्) پراچین بھارت کا ایک سنسکرت مہاکاویہ نظم ہے، جو ہندو دھرم کے دو اہم مہاکاویوں میں سے ایک ہے جسے اتہاس کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے، دوسرا مہابھارت ہے۔ از رُوئے رواج سے مہرشی والمیکی کو اس مہاکاویہ کی ملکیت قرار دی گئی ہے اور یہ کوسل راجیہ میں ایودھیا کے راجکمار رام کے جیون کو بیان کرتا ہے۔ یہ مہاکاویہ رام کی سوتیلی ماں کیکئی کی درخواست پر، اُس کے پتا راجا دشرتھ کے واسطے جنگل میں اُس کے چودہ سالہ دیش بدری کو بیان کرتا ہے؛ اپنی بیوی سیتا اور بھائی لکشمن کے ساتھ بھارتی برصغیر کے جنگلوں میں سفر؛ لنکا کے راجا راون کے ہاتھوں سیتا کا اغوا، جس کی وجہ سے جنگ پیش ہوئی؛ اور مسرت اور دھوم دھام کے دوران سیتا کے ساتھ رام کی بالآخر ایودھیا واپسی اور تاج پوشی۔
اس مہاکاویہ کو تین سو سے زائد مختلف انداز سے بیان کیا گیا ہے، ۔لیکن یہ نیا تنازہ ہزاروں سال بعد 2006ء میں پیش کیا گیا جسے 2008ء میں محکمہ عظمیٰ کے منسوخ کر دیا اور آج بھی رامائن کے قلمی اپنی اصل حالت میں آسیائی اجتماع اور لندن عجائب گاہ کے پاس محفوظ ہے جو سنسکرت بھاشا میں لکھے گئے ہیں بعض میں رام کو سیتا کا بھائی اور بعض میں میاں بیوی بنا کر پیش کیا گیا ہے۔ یہ کہانی بھارت کی دیگر زبانوں میں بھی بیان کی گئی جن کو عام طور پر بدھ مت، جین مت اور سیام، اندونیشیا، ملیشیا، فلپائن، لاؤس اور کامبوج میں بھی یہ مہاکاویہ چلی آتی ہے۔
رامائن کے سب سے اہم کردار رام چندر جی،لکشمن اور سیتا ہیں اس کے علاوہ راجا دشرتھ اور ان کی تینوں بیویاں کوشلیہ،سمترا اور کیکئ اور بیٹوں میں رام، لکشمن کے علاوہ شترودھن اور بھرت قابل ذکر ہیں مزید یہ کہ اس میں لنکا کا راجا راون اس کا بھائی بھبھیکن اور بہن سوپنکھا کا تذکرہ بھی ہے۔

بھرت (راماین)

بھرت (Bharata) (سنسکرت: भरत, انڈونیشیائی: Barata, چینی: Poloto, برمی: Bhadra, مالے: Baradan, تمل: Paratan, تھائی: Phra Phrot, خمیر: ព្រះភិរុត) راماین کے مطابق راجا دشرتھ کے دوسرے بیٹے تھے۔ اس کے دیگر بھائی رام، لکشمن اور شتروگھن تھے۔
تارا (راماین)

تارا (سنسکرت: तारा) بمعنی ستارہ کش کندھا کی رانی تھی اور وانروں کے بادشاہ والی (راماین) کی بیوی تھی۔ بیوگی کے بعد وہ والی کے بھائی سوگ ریو کی رانی بن گئی۔ راماین میں تارا کو وانروں کے طبیب سوس ہینا کی بیٹی بتایا گیا ہے۔ بعد کے ماخذ میں اسے ایک اپسرا لکھا گیا ہے۔ یہ اپرا سمندر منتھن سے ظاہر ہوتی ہے۔ اس کی شادی والی سے ہوتی ہے اور ان کی ایک نرینہ اولاد ہوتی جس کا نام آنگڈ رکھا جاتا ہے۔ دیووں کے ساتھ ایک جنگ میں والی کی موت کت بعد تارا اس کے بھائی سوگ ویر کے شادی کر لیتی ہے۔ سوگ ویر بادشاہ بن جاتا ہے۔ لیکن بعد میں والی پھر آتا ہے اور تارا کو حاصل کرتا ہے۔ وہ اپنے بھائی تو ملک بدر کردیتا ہے۔
سوگ ویر والی کو مقابلہ کی دعوت دیتا ہے، تارا والی کو سوگ ریو سے مقابلہ نہ کرنے کا مشورہ دیتی ہے کیونکہ سوگ ریو رام کا دوست تھا۔ رام ہی راماین کا اصلی ہیرو ہے اور وشنو کا ایک اوتار ہے۔ والی تارا کی بات نہیں مانتا ہے اور جنگ میں رام کے تیر سے اس کی موت ہو جاتی ہے۔ رام سوگ ویر کے لیے والی پر تیر چلاتا ہے۔ بعض متون میں درج ہے کہ اپنی روحانی طاقت کی بنا پر تارا رام کو بددعا دیتی ہے۔ بعض میں ہے کہ رام تارا تعلیم دیتا ہے۔
سوگ ریو تخت و تاج حاصل کر لیتا ہے لیکن اپنا زیادہ تر وقت وہ شراب نوشی میں گزارتا ہے اور اس طرح اپنی مغویہ بیوی سیتا کو حاصل کرنے میں رام کی مدد کرنے ناکام رہتا ہے۔ اب تارا سوگ ریو کی رانی ہے اور تمام تر سیاسی امور کی نگراں ہوتی ہے۔ اس دوران میں رام کے بھائی لکشمن کو نہایت غصہ آتا ہے اور وہ کشی کند کو تباہ کرنے کی غرض سے کوچ کرتا ہے۔ تارا لشکمن کو ایسا کرنے سے باز رہنے کو کہتی ہے۔اس کے بعد کے مآخذ میں ۔ صرف تارا کا ہی تذکرہ ہوتا ہے۔ اس کے بعد لنکا کی جنگ کا تذکرہ ہوتا ہے۔

昆仑山脉

昆仑山脉（維吾爾語：قۇرۇم تېغى‎，拉丁维文：Qurum Teghi；藏語：ཁུ་ནུ་རི་རྒྱུད，威利转写：khu nu ri rgyud，藏语拼音：Kunu Ri'gyü）西起帕米尔高原东部，东到柴达木河上游谷地，于东经97°至99°处与巴颜喀拉山脉和阿尼玛卿山（积石山）相接，北邻塔里木盆地与柴达木盆地，是横贯中国西部地区的高大山脉，为羌塘高原的一部分，在中国文化中被尊称为“万山之祖”。
昆仑山脉东西长约2,500公里，宽南北130至200公里，平均海拔4000米，西窄东宽，总面积达60多万平方公里。一般认为最高峰是位於新疆维吾尔自治区和西藏自治区交界处的昆仑女神峰（7167米）最高。如将东帕米尔高原视为喀喇昆仑山的一部分，则公格尔峰（7649米）最高。昆仑火山群是周邊山區、高原上罕見的火山山區，有超過70座火山坐落於此，其中木吉火山海拔高達5808公尺（35°30′N 80°12′E﻿ / ﻿35.5°N 80.2°E﻿ / 35.5; 80.2），但因其位於高原上，因此實際上火山錐實體僅高於周邊高原約300公尺（僅海拔的5％），但若僅考量絕對高度（海拔）而不考量相對高度而言，該山為亞洲、中國第一高、東半球第二高的火山（僅次於吉力馬扎羅山），也是七大洲最高火山（英语：Volcanic Seven Summits）之一，與伊朗的德馬峰並論，最後一次爆發時間為1951年5月27日。
山脉名称来源于中国神话中的神山——昆仑山，随着中国地理学的发展，至清代，两者视同一体。19世纪时，俄国探险家普热瓦利斯基在地图上开始使用昆仑山脉这一名称。
崑崙山脉西高东低，按地势分西、中、东3段。
克里雅山口位于昆仑山的西段与中段的山势走向转折点，西昆仑山自帕米尔高原自西北向东南迤逦而来，在克里雅山口转折为自西向东走势的中昆仑山。克里雅山口西侧的高峰昆仑女神峰(Kunlun Goddess Mt.)，海拔7167米，谷歌地球上的坐标是北纬35度18分51.03秒，东经80度55分00.55秒，是和田地区玉龙喀什河的源头。如果把更高的公格尔山与慕士塔格山算作帕米尔高山群，而把昆仑女神峰视作昆仑山的最高峰。
昆仑山克里雅山口西北方向一片辽阔的阿什库勒盆地(即乌鲁克高原盆地)无人区，平均海拔4700余米，面积约740平方公里。盆地内的阿什库勒火山群的14座火山，熔岩面积达180平方公里，其中一号火山是中国大陆最年轻的火山，海拔4921米，相对高度150米，坐标为北纬35度41分50.09秒，东经81度34分38.45。1951年5月27日上午9时50分曾经火山爆炸式喷发，无熔岩溢出。
中昆仑山、东昆仑山和阿尔金山的分界，是喀拉米兰山口与车尔臣河谷。阿尔金山以元古代地层为主，而昆仑山以晚古生代为主。从地质图上看阿尔金山颜色要比东昆仑山颜色暗很多，二者的界限是阿尔金断裂带。
崑崙山脉与塔里木盆地和柴达木盆地间均以深大断裂相隔。属南亚陆间区与中轴大陆区交界的北缘。崑崙山地区以前震旦系为基底；经过古生代海域下沉及华力西运动褶皱上升，构成崑崙中轴和山脉中脊；经过中生代燕山运动构成主脊两侧4000米以上的山体。
昆仑山脉的新构造运动极其强烈，晚第三纪以来上升大约4000～5000米；叶尔羌拗陷中的砾石层厚度2500余米，河谷高阶地上则分布有第四纪火山凝灰岩和火山角砾岩。克里雅河与安迪尔河的上游均保存有中更新世玄武岩流与火山口，1951年在于田县境昆仑山中的卡尔达西火山群的一号火山曾爆发，并伴有火山泥石流。东部昆仑山第四纪以来上升了2800余米，其相关沉积物在柴达木盆地中的埋藏深度达2800米。昆仑山的新构造运动具间歇性，叶尔羌河、喀拉喀什河、尼雅河均形成4～5级阶地；各河出山口形成4～5级叠置的洪积扇。
崑崙山北坡屬暖溫帶塔里木荒漠和柴達木荒漠，降水量小；隨著海拔的增高，暖溫帶荒漠過渡為高山荒漠，降水量隨之增加。雪線在海拔5600米至5900米，雪線以上為終年不化的冰川，冰川面積達到3000平方公里以上，是中國的大冰川區之一，冰川溶水是幾條大河的源頭。
昆侖山几乎完全不受印度洋和太平洋季风的影响。相反，其却处于大陆气团的持续影响之下，引起年气温和日气温的巨大波动。山系中段最干燥，而西部和东部的气候稍微缓和。年降水量在山麓不足50毫米，在高海拔区约为102～127毫米，在帕米尔高原附近，年降水量增加到457毫米。在山北麓与塔里木盆地交界處，7月平均气温是25～28℃，在1月不低于-9℃；然而在山南麓的西藏阿里，7月平均温度低于10℃，在冬季则常降至-35℃或更低。
崑崙山区有100多种高等植物，但一般都是低矮的灌木类。野生动物都是高原特有的如藏羚羊、野牦牛、野驴等。许多地区有岩石沙漠构成。偶见的死水塘为诸如藏羚羊和藏岩羚羊以及大群野驴和成群的野犛牛等数种野生有蹄动物提供水草。在较为潮润的西部山脉，大角野羊在高处的草原吃草。青绵羊、拉达克东方盘羊及高地山羊零星分布于整个西部山区上部的岩石上。水道附近的柳丛常有棕熊，藏狼为当地特有，但雪豹极为罕见。许多候水鸟在季节迁徙中常出没此处的湖泊。
新疆和田的崑崙山麓出产最高质美玉——和田玉，从古代起就是中原地区玉石主要来源，因此《千字文》提到“玉出崑岗”。
昆仑山是中国神话中最重要的神山。最早《禹贡》即记有昆仑，《山海经·海内西经》描述说：“海内昆仑之虚，在西北、帝下之都。昆仑之虚，方八百里，高万仞。上有木禾，长五寻，大五围。面有九井，以玉为槛。面有九门，门有开明善守之，百神之所在。”《淮南子》认为：“昆仑之丘，或上倍之，是谓凉风之山，登之而不死；或上倍之，是谓悬圃，登之乃灵，能使风雨；或上倍之，乃维上天，登之乃神，是谓太帝之居。”干寶《搜神記》卷十三云：「崑崙之墟，……其外絕以弱水之深，又環以炎火之山。山上有鳥獸草木，皆生育滋長於炎火之中，故有火浣布。」王嘉《拾遺記》卷十云：「崑崙山有昆陵之地，其高出日月之上。山有九層，每層相去萬里。有雲氣，從下望之，如城闕之象。」
《史记．大宛传》中记载：“汉使穷河源，河源出于寘，其山多玉石，采来，天子案古图书，名河所出山曰崑崙云”。蔡元定《发微论》：“凡山皆祖昆仑，分枝分脉，愈繁愈细，此万殊而一本也。”陶公《提脉赋》亦云：“大致察脉起自昆仑”。崔鸿在《十六国春秋》中，称昆仑山为“海上之诸山之祖”、“天下名山僧占多”。《古今图书集成》载：“西王母所居宫阙，在龟山春山西那之都，昆仑之圃，阆风之苑。有城千里，玉楼十二，琼华之阙，光碧之堂，九层元室，紫翠丹房；左带瑶池，右环翠水。其山之下，弱水九重，洪涛万丈，非飙车羽轮，不可到也。”
《史记》记载“禹兴于西羌”。《山海经》详尽描述了神话中的昆仑山与西王母，华夏族从西北之高原，迁向中原，再到沿海。《穆天子传》记载：穆天子见西王母于昆仑丘；穆天子至群玉之山，天下高山尽收眼里（通说为帕米尔高原）。昆仑崇拜自古以来都是中国至高崇拜，汉人的玉石崇拜也是因为昆仑产玉，玉石在汉文化中成为高贵血统的标示。
有一種說法認為由於崑崙山脈高聳挺拔，為古代中國和西部之間的天然屏障，所以被古代中國人當作世界邊緣，加上其終年積雪令中國古代以白色象徵西方。

Vantara

Vantara is a large-scale animal rescue centre, cave, conservation and rehabilitation centre established by Reliance Industries with Reliance Foundation. It is located within the Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. The 3,000-acre sanctuary focuses on animal welfare and conservation. It was initiated by Anant Ambani, director on the boards of Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation. Vantara was officially inaugurated by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi on 4th March 2025.
a pioneering 3,000-acre wildlife conservation project in Gujarat’s Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex. One of its aims are animal rescue and rehabilitation. Led by Anant Ambani, it features advanced medical care, research facilities, and vast enclosures for rescued animals. It was opened on 26 February 2024 but is not open for the public. Anant Ambani has stated that he will make the facility open to visitors shortly, turning it into a state-of-the-art conservation programme that not only houses animals but also informs the public on wildlife conservation.
Vantara was officially inaugurated on 4 March 2025 by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi. It is dedicated to the rescue, treatment, care, and rehabilitation of animals. The programme claims to have since "rescued over 200 elephants, and thousands of other animals, reptiles and birds from unsafe situations, including rhinos, leopards and crocodiles". Despite its endeavors in conservation, i.e., protecting threatened and exploited species and animals, some animal rights groups in India have expressed skepticism over the privatization of the animals, along with the remote, over-developed, polluted and unsuitable nature of the reservation's location, as Jamnagar is located in a hot, arid climate and the Jamnagar Refinery, the largest oil refinery in the world, is owned by the same company and is located only a short distance away.
Vantara is managed under the direction of Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani. The facility is equipped with modern veterinary technology, including ICU, MRI, CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy units.
Vantara received the 'Prani Mitra' National Award in the corporate category from the Animal Welfare Board of India. This award is presented by the Government of India to recognize contributions in the field of animal welfare.
Grullo

Grullo (pronounced GREW-yo) or grulla is a color of horses in the dun family, characterized by tan-gray or mouse-colored hairs on the body, often with shoulder and dorsal stripes and black barring on the lower legs. The genotype for grulla horses is a black base with dun dilution. In this coloration, each individual hair is mouse-colored, unlike a roan, which is composed of a mixture of dark and light hairs. The several shades of grulla are informally referred to with a variety of terms, including black dun, blue dun, slate grulla, silver grulla or light grulla, silver dun, or lobo dun. Silver grulla may also refer to a grulla horse with silver dapple, regardless of shade.
In terms of equine coat color genetics, all of these shades are based on the dun gene acting as a dilution gene over the black gene. Because the grulla color is not due to the gray gene, a grulla horse remains the same basic color from birth, though some minor shade variation may occur from summer to winter coats. If a grulla also carries the gray gene, it will be born a mouse tan-gray shade, usually with bold primitive markings, but then lighten and eventually develop a white hair coat with age. Because black is less common in general than bay or chestnut, grulla is likewise less common than red duns or bay (classic or zebra) duns. For example, only 0.7% of quarter horses registered each year with the AQHA are grulla.
The most obvious ways to tell whether a horse is grulla are not only the gray or tan-gray body color, but also its primitive markings, which include some or all of the following: dark face, cobwebbing around the eyes and forehead, dark mottling on the body, leg barring (sometimes called tiger striping), dark ear tips and edging, dark ear barring, dark shadowing of the neck, dark dorsal and transverse striping, and light guard hairs bordering a dark mane and tail.
The word "grulla" in Spanish means crane. (The original Spanish noun is pronounced [ˈɡɾuʝa] in American Spanish and [ˈɡɾuʎa] in Peninsular Spanish.) Though the Spanish word for "crane" is always "grulla" regardless of gender, some people call male horses "grullo" and female horses "grulla", including in Spanish.
Grulla is also called mouse dun or blue dun. In the Norwegian Fjord horse, the coat is called grå (meaning "gray").
The tarpan (Equus ferus ferus) was a relative of the domestic horse that became extinct in the nineteenth century, and which appears to have had grulla coloration. The tarpan has been considered a true wild horse, an undomesticated relative or ancestor of the domestic horse. However, some authorities in the early twentieth century held the opinion that most equines called tarpans were actually domestic or feral horses, not a separate species.
Several breeds with the grulla color have been developed in efforts to recreate ("breed back") the tarpan. These breeds include the Heck horse and Konik. One of the first experiments in this regard was published in 1906 by James Cossar Ewart, who obtained a "tarpan-like" horse by crossing a Shetland mare and a black Welsh pony.

Ladoga ringed seal

The Ladoga ringed seal (Russian: Ладожская нерпа; Pusa hispida ladogensis) is a freshwater subspecies of the ringed seal (Pusa hispida) found entirely in Lake Ladoga in northwestern Russia. This pinniped was isolated in freshwater lakes and separated from the Arctic ringed seal as a result of the isostatic rebound of the region following the end of the Weichselian Glaciation.
It is related to the even smaller population of Saimaa ringed seals in Lake Saimaa, a lake that flows into Ladoga through the Vuoksi River.
The adult Ladoga seal grows to about 150 cm in length and weighs approximately 60–70 kg. Pups are approximately 50–60 cm at birth and weigh approximately 4–5 kg. There are four variations of coats. About 47% of Ladoga seals have a dark brown coat with lighter ring shaped patterns, 29% have a dark brown coat with lighter vein-like patterns, and 17% have a light brown coat with a dark dorsal belt as well as faint rings and spots. The coats of the remaining 7% are not described by Popov. Annual molting takes place from April through June.
Females reach maturity at the age of four to five, and males at the age of six to seven. Pups are delivered in February through March, with weaning taking place after six to eight weeks. A normal lifespan is about 30–35 years.
The current population is about 2,000–3,000, down from approximately 20,000 at the beginning of the 20th century, due to overhunting; hunting of the seals was banned entirely in 1980, but some illegal poaching still occurs. The species' primary threats include entanglement in fisheries netting, industrialization in the areas surrounding Lake Ladoga, fuel spills from water vessels and the disturbance of their warm-weather sunning places by human recreational activities. The Ladoga seal is listed as an Appendix II species under the Bern Convention and also included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation.

Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve

Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is a state-protected reserve of California, United States, harboring the most consistent blooms of California poppies, the state flower. The reserve is located in the rural west side of Antelope Valley in northern Los Angeles County, 15 miles (24 km) west of Lancaster. To the north is Kern County. The reserve is at an elevation ranging from 2,600 to 3,000 feet (790 to 910 m) above sea level, in the Mojave Desert climate zone. The reserve is administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Other wildflowers within the reserve include the Owl's Clover, Lupine, Goldfields, Cream Cups and Coreopsis.
The intense blooming season for the California Poppy usually falls within late winter to early spring, during the months of mid-February through mid-May. Blooming seasons are dependent on the amount of rainfall during the winter to early spring seasons. Within the reserve, there are 7 miles (11 km) of trails, including a paved section for wheelchair access, which traverse the poppy fields.
In order to keep the fields in a strictly natural state, California State Parks does not water or stimulate the flowers. The park service also excludes sheep and cattle from grazing the hillsides. Until the early 1970s, sheep once grazed the buttes in the western Antelope Valley. Pronghorn grazed long before then, until the railroad arrived in 1876. With the exception of service dogs, pets are prohibited from the reserve. Under California state law, visitors are also prohibited from taking flowers from the reserve.
Since 1994, controlled fires have been used to regulate dead brush, exotic species and litter within the reserve.
The reserve is located 7 miles (11 km) east of Arthur B. Ripley Desert Woodland State Park.
Temporary fencing

Temporary fencing is a free standing, self-supporting fence panel. The panels are held together with couplers that interlock panels together making it portable and flexible for a wide range of applications. A common type of temporary fencing is Heras fencing.
Fence panels are supported with counter-weighted feet, have a wide variety of accessories including gates, handrails, feet and bracing depending on the application. Fence panels are commonly constructed of either chain link or weld mesh.
Temporary fencing is an alternative to its permanent counterpart when a fence is required on an interim basis when needed for storage, public safety or security, crowd control, or theft deterrence. It is also known as construction hoarding when used at construction sites. Other uses for temporary fencing include venue division at large events and public restriction on industrial construction sites, when guardrails are often used. Temporary fencing is also often seen at special outdoor events, parking lots, and emergency/disaster relief sites. It offers the benefits of affordability and flexibility.
Common forms of temporary fencing include a variety of plastic fencing or panels constructed of chainlink, steel or wire. Fencing commonly consists of individual panels that can be set up around the perimeter of the desired area to be fenced in.
Plastic temporary fencing has been used during English cricket games since 2001 as a form of crowd control.
In the evolution of temporary fencing, historical laws have significantly influenced its modern applications. Notably, during the Roman Empire, the 'Code of Justinian' mandated the use of temporary fencing, or 'circumvallation,' as a tactical measure during sieges. In contemporary times, the significance of fencing endures. For instance, the United States mandates certain industries to utilize temporary fencing for safety compliance, demonstrating how historical practices persist in shaping present-day regulations. Today's temporary fencing materials and designs, such as chain-link fencing, have evolved to meet the demands of construction sites, public events, and safety regulations.
Pit fired pottery

Pit firing is the oldest known method for the firing of pottery. Examples have been dated as early as 29,000–25,000 BCE, while the earliest known kiln dates to around 6000 BCE, and was found at the Yarim Tepe site in modern Iraq. Kilns allow higher temperatures to be reached, use fuel more efficiently, and have long replaced pit firing as the most widespread method of firing pottery, although the technique still finds limited use amongst certain studio potters and in Africa.
Unfired pots are nestled together in a pit in the ground and are surrounded by combustible materials such as wood, shavings, dried manure, leaves, and sometimes metal oxides and salts to affect the surface of the pots. The top of the pit may be protected with moist clay, shards, larger pieces of wood, or metal baffles. The filled pit is then set on fire and carefully tended until most of the inner fuel has been consumed. At around 1,100 °C (2,010 °F) the maximum temperatures are moderate compared to other techniques used for pottery, and the pottery produced counts as earthenware. After cooling, pots are removed and cleaned; there may be patterns and colours left by ash and salt deposits. Pots may then be waxed and buffed to create a smooth glossy finish.
Pit-firing continued in some parts of Africa until modern times. In Mali, a firing mound, a large version of the pit, is still used at Kalabougou to make pottery that is commercial, mainly made by the women of the village to be sold in the towns. Unfired pots are first brought to the place where a mound will be built, customarily by the women and girls of the village. The mound's foundation is made by placing sticks on the ground, then:
Pit-firing continued to be used by Pueblo potters, in particular in New Mexico, and other areas of the American Southwest. This pottery is handmade, and potters dig clay locally to produce their wares. Tempering agents like sand, volcanic ash, or pieces of ground-up broken pottery are combined with the clay to harden it during the firing process. The vessels are then pit-fired in the ground. Wood, dung, coal, or other locally sourced materials are used as fuel.
藏文书法

藏文書法是指以藏文为载体文字的的書法。与汉字书法和蒙古文书法不同的是，书写藏文的工具是竹笔（属于硬笔书法），以碳墨为主要书写颜料。
藏文以基字为中心，五个前加字一定要写在前边，十个后加字写在后边，三个上加字写在它的上边，四个下加字写在它的下边，二个又后加字写在后加字的后边。其书写顺序是依基字的前加、后加、再后加的次序逐步进行。
宝庆竹刻

宝庆竹刻是今天湖南省邵阳市的中国竹刻艺术的一种，是首批中国国家非物质文化遗产，明朝中期，宝庆竹刻、嘉定竹刻、金陵竹刻形成了当时鼎盛的三大竹刻派系。
邵阳市，旧时候被称为宝庆府，这里自古以来就盛产南竹，是中国竹文化的发祥地之一。
宝庆竹刻起源于明朝，它既可以观赏，又很实用，是一种民间工艺。
明朝崇祯年间《宝庆府志》写道：“宝庆府竹类南竹即大竹，工匠积器为用……问万历间云山中有好事者，就竹势之态，饰人物、山水、花鸟于上，或琢饰玲珑小器，供于茶肆或文房。”
现存最早的宝庆竹刻作品是明清之际潘一龙的竹雕笔筒。与潘一龙同时期的艺人王嗣乾则没有作品流传下来。
明朝中晚期和清朝早期，宝庆竹刻主要是“圆雕”和“透雕”的雕刻方法。
清朝康熙年间，宝庆府艺人们发明了“翻簧”和“竹簧”方法，带给了中国竹刻艺术的变革和创新。 竹簧发明者王尚智。
1751年，乾隆帝南巡时期，看到竹刻器物，爱不释手。 当时艺人李昌元以制作“食箧”和“书箧”而名重一时，最终成了宫廷竹刻师。
1915年9月7日，美国加利福尼亚州旧金山“太平洋万国巴拿马博览会”上，翻簧竹刻得到了“金质奖”。
1925年，美国加利福尼亚州旧金山“太平洋万国巴拿马博览会”上，宝庆竹刻得到了“银质奖”。
1950年，苏联领导人斯大林70寿诞，毛泽东带了8件翻簧竹刻品到苏联给他庆寿，其中，“雄观沧海”现存于莫斯科艺术博物馆。
1959年7月，人民大会堂湖南厅展览了“潇湘八景”翻簧竹刻品。
1963年，人民大会堂贵宾厅制作了巨幅竹簧雕刻画“洞庭岳阳楼”和“南岳衡山”。
宝庆竹刻分为“竹根雕刻”、“竹青雕刻”、“竹簧雕刻”。
竹根雕刻是以竹子的根部进行雕刻，作品主要特点是粗犷、大气、古朴、民间色彩浓厚，主要技法是凿、削、雕、刻。
竹青雕刻是以竹子筒茎进行雕刻。主要作品是笔筒、笔海、牌匾。
竹簧雕刻主要是把竹簧压成平面与木板胶合，再进行雕刻，这是宝庆竹刻的特色。 清朝文人纪晓岚曾赋诗一首：“瘦骨碧檀奕，颇识此君面。谁信空洞中，自藏心一片。凭君熨帖平，展出分明看。”
嘉定竹刻主要以“朱氏”（朱鹤、朱缨、朱稚征）为代表，特点是“高、深、透”；金陵竹刻以“浅浮雕”（水磨器）技法表现。 宝庆竹刻融合了嘉定竹刻、金陵竹刻的优点，而且吸收了木雕、石雕、国画、版画、书法、金石等艺术的精华，有刀法、有技法、有画质、有形象、有造型、有意境、有情趣。
2006年，中華人民共和國政府把宝庆竹刻列入全国第一批“非物质文化遗产名录”。
武汉博物馆

武汉博物馆是以展示武汉地区历史文化为主的地志类综合性博物馆，位于中華人民共和國武漢市汉口區青年路373号，建筑面积17834平方米，展示面积6000平方米。2008年5月被评为首批国家一级博物馆。馆内基本陈列包括地方史陈列《武汉古代历史》、《武汉近现代历史》以及专题艺术陈列《历代文物珍藏》、《古代陶瓷艺术》和《明清书画艺术》。2005年被国家旅游局评定为中国国家4A级旅游景区。
武汉博物馆的筹建始于1984年7月，1986年12月定名，设于武昌农民运动讲习所旧址内，工作人员48人，在农讲所办公和举办陈列展览。1994年8月10日市政府决定在青年路建新馆，1998年成为市“九五计划”重点项目，12月10日奠基。建设工程由新纪公司负责，2000年12月39日建成。2000年12月进行机构改革，职员实行聘用制，刘庆平任馆长。馆内下设办公室、陈列部、保管部、总务部、保卫部、宣教部、经济开发部等机构。2001年初正式与农讲所、考古所分立。
基本陈列分为《武汉古代历史陈列》、《武汉近现代历史陈列》两部分，是博物馆展品的核心。《武汉古代历史陈列》有两个展厅。第一展厅较小，分为“序厅”、“江汉曙光”、“商风楚韵”几部分，展示武汉地区的新石器时期到夏商周时代的文化，展墙带有暗灰色石材纹饰。第二展厅面积较大，分“军事要津”、“水陆双城”、“九省通衢”三部分，展示秦始皇统一中国到1840年的历史，墙面以木质装饰为主。电脑动画、三维设计在该陈列中得到了运用。设计者对场景复原进行了一定研究，比如“三国吴墓”是按考古发掘报告进行复原。墓葬结构、墓葬砖纹饰得到复制，发掘的文物置入其中，设立成一个封闭的独立展区，还用抽湿机进行了防潮处理。《武汉古代历史陈列》总面积达1400平方米，展出文物1000多件。重要的展品有：武昌放鹰台遗址出土的生产生活用具，盘龙城遗址内外城及三座宫殿的模型，商周时期的兽面纹十字孔瓮、饕餮纹锥足鼎、青铜剑，三国吴墓复原、晋隋的青瓷、唐代的陶俑、宋元的陶瓷和金器，明弘治地藏菩萨铁坐像、永乐云龙纹石画等。
《武汉近现代历史陈列》为2009年新增，展现1848年林则徐武汉禁烟到1949年中国人民解放军进驻武汉的历史。该系列分“江汉潮起”、“华中都会”、“浴火重生”三部分，展厅面积近1000平方米，文物500多件，历史照片近千幅。“江汉潮起”主色调为冷灰色，展墙为仿石材质，展品有19世纪上半页“苏格兰”造铣床、“民国元年”景泰蓝盖盒等。张之洞任总督期间武汉的军事、文教方面的发展是重点展示内容。“华中都会”主色调为褐色，欧式装饰，文物200多件，展示了武汉早期共产主义运动、国民革命军北伐以及20世纪30年代市政建设和社会文化的变迁。20世纪30年代市政建设复原街景选取了武汉电信局、西式咖啡厅、老凤祥银楼、谦祥益绸布店等代表性内容，描绘出武汉当时的商业市政景观。“浴火重生”采用暖色调，文物百余件，反映了从抗日战争到中华人民共和国建立的历史，
《历代文物珍藏陈列》分为“辉煌灿烂的青铜器”、“晶莹温润的玉器”、“清新工巧的竹木牙雕”、“朴实精细的砚台”、“跌宕多姿的印章艺术”、“精巧秀逸的鼻烟壶”、“瑰丽斑斓的珐琅”七个部分。展厅面积700平方米，展品300多件。青铜器馆藏中有黄陂区盘龙城遗址商兽面纹十字孔青铜瓮等出土文物、以及西周曾伯鼎等传世文物。玉器馆藏中以清乾隆时期的一批宫廷玉器最具价值，有白玉福寿纹葫芦壶、白玉双凤交颈壶、白玉人物船、碧玉香薰等。竹木牙雕的存世之作多属明清时期，展品有笔筒、香筒、人物雕刻等。砚台艺术集书法、绘画、雕刻艺术于一身，代表藏品有宋抄手澄泥砚等。印章展品包括汉代的铜印、“晋蛮夷归义侯”蛇钮金印、宋狮钮瓷印、清螭钮田黄印等，以及张廷济、吴昌硕、陈鸿寿、陈半丁等人的作品。鼻烟壶展品种类繁多，以内画鼻烟壶最具价值，包括叶仲山、周乐元、马少宣、阎玉田等晚清名家的作品。珐琅藏品有掐丝珐琅、錾胎珐琅、画珐琅等品种，主要是清代的作品。

1987年，张铁林前往英国电影学会留學，十年後加入英國國籍。1990年代初赴香港發展，早期與導演徐克簽約，參與《黃飛鴻》系列電影的拍攝，1996年加入鳳凰衛視主持節目《電影世界》，之後返回中國大陸演藝界發展。1997年皈依於漢傳佛教禪宗的釋星雲法師猊座之下，法號普覺，而後參修藏傳佛教，法號白瑪曲培。1998年憑藉電視劇《還珠格格》重新走紅。2007年被暨南大學藝術學院聘為院長。
1987年，张铁林在英国留学期间遇见波兰籍女孩，1991年9月她在中秋节生下一个女儿，张铁林给女儿取名“张月亮”。
英國廣播公司在1991年製作了一套有關在六四事件後營救民運人士的黃雀行動新聞節目，內容重造了關於審訊王軍濤的情形。此片在某些海外網站流通，有網民發現飾演王軍濤的人是張鐵林，並描述了王軍濤的自辯說詞。
张铁林于1997年成为英国公民，之后他多次在公开场合称此举是“为了中国”，强调“是为争取更多机会，让世界了解中国，做更好的中国人”，在接受节目访问时表示“拿着外国护照为中国做事更方便，说中国话，做中国事，弘扬中国的东西”。上述言论均曾被网民批评，其好友王刚在节目上讽刺其是“白求恩精神”。
《中時電子報》於2015年11月29日報道張鐵林於香港會議展覽中心舉行坐床儀式，而其獲封活佛的影片亦於網絡流傳。影片內容顯示同年10月4日一位自稱白瑪奧色的法王為張鐵林舉行坐床儀式，而張鐵林亦自稱白馬鐵林。之後有藏傳佛教僧人表示，該儀式完全不符合藏傳佛教宗教儀軌，正規的坐床儀式應該在寺廟，而不是在這種場合。事件隨即引發網友熱議，不少佛教界名人亦紛紛撰文抗議張鐵林坐床。同日晚間，張鐵林本人否認於香港舉行的是所謂的坐床儀式，而是佛教徒祈福大法會。
2020年9月10日，张铁林在一家酒店门口，因为车辆问题，与保安发生冲突。
2021年，张铁林在公开场合表示，“在中国的大美术馆里，没有外国的东西；而在西方的美术馆里，则陈列着世界各地的珍贵文物”，“中国的博物馆中并没有外国的东西，这是我们的缺失啊！我们的文化是局限在自己窝里头的，我们不拿自己的文化当做世界文化的一部分。”其言论遭到网民批评，认为张铁林是英国人，思维都成了强盗逻辑。
2022年1月，张铁林在书法家刘正成的直播间谈论中国书法，并将个人的书法作品在直播间对外销售，被大批网民用诸如“英国人”“英国人懂什么书法”辱骂。
2022年7月22日，张铁林三名男子在加油站与一名女性路人发生剐蹭，随后拒不道歉还威胁：有本事你报警，我是张铁林。
英國少林寺

英國少林寺是一間武術學校以及學習少林文化的中心，特別是功夫禪、氣功與佛教禪宗冥想。由少林寺僧人釋延孜於2000年所建，位於英國的北倫敦，介於地下鐵北線的圖夫尼爾公園站及拱門站間。
英國少林寺是中國河南省少林寺之官方分寺，直接受命於住持釋永信。由釋揚雷及第35代徒弟：釋恆道、恆周、恆先及恆第授課。學校強調外在及內在武術訓練的平衡，學生通常同時被訓練功夫及氣功。英國少林寺也和其他海外分寺一樣实行会员制。弟子需要缴纳每年80镑（儿童40镑）的会费成为会员,每次上课再缴纳课时费。
英國少林寺以功夫聞名，並參與國內及國際的戰鬥比賽，與泰拳拳手的社團間戰鬥。
功夫課程著重在散打訓練-一對一對抗-被認為是中國的跆拳道形式。是寺裡學生在比賽中所使用的打鬥風格。此寺的創建者及主要的教師釋延孜曾是15年的中國全國武術冠軍。
學生首先要接受三個月的預備課程訓練，著重在培養力量、耐力及彈性，並學習基本原理，初階學生以不接觸的方式受訓時，學生被鼓勵儘快嘗試通過季度升級測驗。英國少林寺的高階課程則為半接觸及完全接觸，學生將以手套、護墊及圓杆受訓。
有初階及進階氣功課程。初階者練習一個套式（一系列的動作），稱八段錦，意思為”八段錦緞”，如此稱呼是因為該套式有八個動作。然而進階學生將會練習使用竹棍進行身體訓練，並有一套具12個動作的進階套式。
禪是佛學的一個分支，並不鼓勵言語教學，取而代之的是鼓勵學生成為敏銳且學得快的觀察者。這些特質為戰鬥者及武術家所共享。
訓練禪學包括禪坐（日語：zazen）及行走冥想。
雖然也有個別的禪學冥想課程，但也強調了功夫訓練的本質和目的實際上與禪宗不可分離。
其他在英國少林寺所教授的活動包括：
缪斯

繆思（希臘語：Μουσαι、拉丁語：Muses）是希臘神話主司藝術與科學的九位古老文艺女神的總稱。她們代表了通過傳統的音樂和舞蹈、即時代流傳下來的詩歌所表達出來的神話傳說。她們原本是守護赫利孔山泉水的水仙，屬於寧芙的範疇。後來人們將奧林匹斯神系的阿波羅設立為她們的首領。繆思女神常常出现在众神或英雄们的聚会，轻歌曼舞，一展风采，为聚会带来不少的愉悦与欢乐。
在荷馬史詩，繆思有時一个，有時數个，均未提及个人名字，只說她們喜愛歌手，給予他們鼓勵和靈感。赫西俄德在其《神譜》說，她們是眾神之王宙斯和提坦女神的記憶女神謨涅摩敘涅所生育的9个髮束金帶的女兒。阿爾克曼則認為她們要比宙斯古老，是烏拉諾斯和蓋亞的3个女兒。
公元2世纪罗马时代的希腊地理学家保萨尼亚斯說一開始只有三位繆斯，為三位一體的老一辈詩歌女神。這三位繆斯體現了遠古時代人們進行崇拜儀式時所需要的詩歌形式和技巧。後來繆斯女神被分為長幼兩輩，長輩的繆斯為烏拉諾斯和蓋亞之女，後輩繆斯女神為宙斯和谟涅摩叙涅之女。長輩的繆斯女神分別為：
在古罗马作家西塞罗的《论神性（英语：De Natura Deorum）》（De Natura Deorum）一书中又提到了四位提坦缪斯，她们是司管曲艺形式和技巧的缪斯女神，又合称为“曲艺四女神”：
不同的作家给出的名字均有不同。下表分别列出了特尔斐所崇拜的缪斯3人组和象征古乐器三和弦三个部件的缪斯3人组的名字与来源，她们是阿波罗的女儿。另外还记载了一组莱斯博斯岛所崇拜的7位缪斯的名字和来源，她们是庇厄洛斯（Pieros）和宁芙仙女安提俄珀（Antiope）的女儿。
赫敘客俄斯在《希臘詞典》中記載，繆斯女神曾經被稱為“瘋狂的”或“暴風雨般的”。因為她們曾經被酒神狄俄倪索斯所主宰，同時還是他漫遊時的玩伴，所以就把繆斯女神塑造成了瘋瘋癲癲的不良少女，動不動就想把誰給撕碎。因此，領導着瘋狂迷亂的繆斯女神的狄俄倪索斯被冠名為繆薩革忒斯（Musagetes），意思為“繆斯之首”。後來繆斯女神因為需要被改造，被司管太陽與藝術之神—阿波羅所主宰，因此缪萨革忒斯这个名称归阿波罗所有。阿波羅認為繆斯女神瘋狂粗魯的舉止不符合他溫文爾雅的氣質，但繆斯的可塑性是很高的，在阿波羅的領導下，繆斯女神們變得和阿波羅一樣情操高尚、舉止文雅，但她們也會有被激怒的時候。通常她們都是一群美麗高雅、充滿活力的青年婦女。
缪斯九姐妹出現在音樂競技的場合也比較多，在阿波羅和馬爾修稚斯（Marsyās）的音樂比賽中由繆斯來擔當裁判。奧菲斯死後，繆斯收集和埋葬了奧菲斯殘破的屍體。塔米里斯（Thamyris）向繆斯挑戰，繆斯懲罰他的狂傲使他失明。
在保薩尼亞斯所作的《希臘志》（Περιήγησις）中描述擁有天籁之音的人面鳥身女妖—塞壬，因爲與缪斯進行音樂比賽落敗，而代價則是被缪斯拔去了翅膀，令她們永遠無法飛翔，後來缪斯用塞壬女妖们的翅膀編織成了象征她們勝利的王冠。
因為缪斯出生于庇厄利亞地區，所以她們亦被稱作為皮厄里得斯（Pierides），在奧維德的神話史詩《變形記》中，將皮厄里得斯視作另一組與繆斯們有著相同名字的9人姐妹，為庇厄利亞王—庇厄洛斯的女兒們。後來由于驕傲自滿，不自量力的向缪斯發起挑戰，最終在歌詠比賽中不慎輸給了缪斯而全員變成了喜鵲。
三位一體的“三”为神聖的數字，三三得九。繼古代的三位繆斯女神後，後來經典的九位繆斯女神分別為：
這九位繆斯的名字首次出現在赫西俄德的《神譜》中，她們充分體現了古代希臘時期對詩歌藝術的完整理解，但哪位繆斯是隸屬于哪門藝術領域的體現是後來才定義的。
活跃在十二世纪后半的君士坦丁堡文学作家—约翰·泰泽（John Tzetzes）另外给出了九位缪斯女神的名字，分别是卡利科瑞（Kallichore）、赫利刻（Helike）、欧尼刻（Eunike）、忒尔克西诺厄（Thelxinoe）、忒耳普西科瑞（Terpsichore）、欧忒耳珀（Euterpe）、欧刻拉得（Eukelade）、狄亚（Dia）以及厄诺珀（Enope）。
繆斯這個名字可能來自印歐語根*men-，希臘語中的谟涅摩叙涅（Μνημοσύνη）、拉丁語中的密涅瓦（Minerva）和英語中的mind（意見）、mental （智力）和memory（記憶）都來自這個語根。
繆斯即是藝術的代表，也是藝術本身（英語中music，音樂，一詞來自繆斯）。在希臘人掌握文字以前，繆斯也是學習的代表和神。泰勒斯所寫的第一本希臘的天文學書籍就是以詩的體裁寫的，許多蘇格拉底以前的哲學書的體裁也是詩體。柏拉圖和畢達哥拉斯都認為哲學是藝術（μουσική）的一部分。希羅多德將他寫的《歷史》的每一卷以一個不同的繆斯命名。
梭倫認為繆斯為人類帶來昌盛和友愛，是通往好的生活的秘密。為了完成他的政治改革，他讓雅典的男孩在每年的節日上祈禱繆斯和朗誦他的詩。
繆斯的神話，反映了古希臘人對藝術的高度重視。繆斯的形象在各個時代的文學作品中都得到了廣泛的運用。在文學中，繆斯往往作為一篇史詩或故事的引入。她們往往被作者引用為助手或故事的敘述人，而作者本人則只是將她們的話寫下來。一下為兩篇經典的例子：
畢達哥拉斯到達克羅頓後的第一個建議是在市中心建造一個繆斯的神龕來促進市民的和睦和學習風氣。
繆斯的崇拜一般在泉水附近進行。繆斯喜愛的居所通常被認為是帕拉索斯山或赫利孔山的山洞中或泉水旁；希波克瑞涅山泉、卡斯塔利亞山泉都是她們經常遊玩的地方。在古代神話中，她們可能是這些山泉的女神。因為繆斯也是詩人或藝術家的保護神，因此詩人根據她們經常出現的地方給了她們許多別名，如赫利科尼得斯、帕耳那西得斯、卡斯塔利得斯、皮厄里得斯和皮謨普勒伊得斯等等。
波奧提亞、德爾斐、赫利孔山和帕拉索斯山是繆斯崇拜的中心地區。
繆斯也往往與希臘英雄崇拜相連，一些傳說的英雄的墓地是詩歌比賽和向繆斯犧牲的地方。
亞歷山大圖書館建在亞歷山大大帝墓附近的一個繆斯神龕上。
18世紀許多啟蒙運動人士試圖重立對繆斯的崇拜。法國大革命前巴黎有一個共濟會的團體叫做“九姊妹”，伏爾泰、本傑明·富蘭克林也參加過他們的活動。英語中博物館（Museum，本來的意思是“繆斯的崇拜地”）就是從這個運動產生的，它的意思是說，博物館是一個向公眾展示知識的地方。
位於香港的K11 MUSEA商場，設計靈感亦是來自繆斯。
LoveLive!中的團體“μ's”名稱亦是源自繆斯。
