Gianina Cărbunariu este originară din Piatra Neamț. A absolvit Colegiul Național „Petru Rareș” din Piatra Neamț în 1996, după care a urmat cursurile Facultății de Litere a Universității București (1996–2000) și apoi cursurile Facultății de Teatru la secția regie de teatru (2004) a UNATC Ion Luca Caragiale din București. În 2006 absolvă aceeași instituție cu un masterat în scriere dramatică, pentru ca în 2011 să-și dea doctoratul cu dizertația Regizorul dramaturg, pentru care a fost apreciată cu magna cum laude.
În 2002, fiind încă studentă, împreună cu alți colegi actori, Valean Andreea, Radu Apostol și Alexandru Berceanu, inițiază proiectul DramAcum (alternativ dramAcum), care avea ca scop revitalizarea și sprijinirea creației teatrale contemporane în România „prin concursuri, traduceri și producții de spectacole”. Scopul declarat al grupului este să îmbunătățească semnificativ teatrul românesc prin prezentarea de scrieri contemporane românești pentru a lupta împotriva conservatorismului ideologic și formal al comunității teatrului tradițional românesc. Din septembrie 2005, Gianina Cărbunariu este, de asemenea, asociată cu Teatrul-Studio Alfortville (Théâtre-Studio d'Alfortville).
Piesa sa „Stop the Tempo”, scrisă în 2003-2004, a avut premiera în 2004 în București. Piesa este remarcată, iar Cărbunariu o va monta de-a lungul anilor în multe teatre europene. Regizoarea-dramaturg a obținut o bursă de rezidență la Royal Court Theatre din Londra pentru care va scrie un nou joc, mady-baby.edu (ulterior redenumit Kebab). Piesa s-a jucat, în special, la Royal Court Theatre și Schaubühne (am Lehniner Platz) din Berlin. Primele sale două părți (Stop tempo-ul și Kebab) sunt destinate a fi emblematice pentru teatru său, caracterizat de a fi „crud, fără compromisuri, variind de la energie la revoltă și dezamăgire.
Lucrările sale sunt prezentate în multe teatre din lume, dorind să prezinte o viziune diferită a României contemporane având întotdeauna grijă să conteste privitorului „[clișeele] reprezentărilor occidentale de progres și succes“. Întrebările sale cele mai frecvente se referă la acțiunea colectivă, integrarea comunității și retragerea identității.
Din septembrie 2005, Gianina Cărbunariu este asociată cu Teatrul-Studio Alfortville (Théâtre-Studio d'Alfortville). Din 2017 Cărbunariu este directorul Teatrului Tineretului din Piatra Neamț, post pe care l-a obținut prin concurs. Cărbunariu este, de asemenea, președintă a Asociației Piese Refractare.
Cărbunariu pune în scenă majoritatea piesele pe care le scrie iar realizarea și producția spectacolelor o realizează în colaborări cu teatre din țară și străinătate.
Pe lângă propriile piese, Cărbunariu pune în scenă texte ale altor dramaturgi.
Carne asada

Carne asada este carne de vită la grătar tăiată felii, în general folosindu-se friptură skirt, friptură flap sau friptură flank, deși poate fi folosită și friptură chuck (cunoscută în spaniolă ca diezmillo). De obicei este marinată, apoi friptă la grătar sau rumenită pentru a căpăta o aromă afumată. Carne asada poate fi servită singură sau ca ingredient în alte mâncăruri.
Termenul de carne asada este folosit în America Latină și se referă la stilul de preparare a cărnii la grătar din aceste țări. În America de Sud, termenul folosit pentru carnea la grătar este Asado și are un stil și o pregătire diferită.
Carne asada poate fi cumpărată de la măcelării fie marinată (preparada), fie nemarinată pentru a fi marinată acasă. Carnea este marinată în mod caracteristic cu suc de limetă, sare și condimente mexicane, dar poate fi de asemenea doar frecată cu sare sau amestecuri de condimente precum piperul cu lămâie, înainte de a fi friptă la grătar. După frigerea la grătar, carnea este de obicei tăiată pentru a umple tacos și burritos, ceea ce reduce și duritatea acesteia. După ce este friptă, carnea se numește carne asada.
Carne asada poate fi servită ca fel principal, dar este de asemenea frecvent ciopârțită și folosită ca ingredient în alte mâncăruri. Aceste mâncăruri populare folosesc carne asada ca ingredient principal:
În Mexic și alte țări din America Centrală, expresia carne asada poate fi folosită și pentru a descrie un eveniment social, echivalentul unui grătar social, unde se adună familia și prietenii apropiați. Carne asada este deosebit de populară în nordul Mexicului, unde este considerată un aliment de bază. Este cel mai frecvent fel de mâncare servit la petreceri, celebrări și alte evenimente în nordul Mexicului.
Prague ham

Prague Ham (Czech: Pražská šunka, German: Prager Schinken) is a type of brine-cured, stewed, and mildly beechwood-smoked boneless ham originally from Prague in Bohemia (Czech Republic). When cooked on the bone, it is called šunka od kosti ("ham from the bone"), considered a delicacy. It was first marketed in the 1860s by Antonín Chmel, a pork butcher from Prague's Zvonařka ("Bell-Maker street") on the Nuselské schody (The Nusle Steps).
It was a popular export during the 1920s and 1930s – to the point that other cultures started copying the recipe and making it domestically. Pražská šunka/Prague Ham is registered as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed in the European Union and the UK and can only be produced according to a specified procedure.
Prague Ham is traditionally served in restaurants and from street vendors with a side of boiled potatoes and often accompanied by Czech beer.
The following translations are registered for the Traditional Speciality Guaranteed:
List of hams

This is a list of notable hams and ham products. Ham is pork that has been preserved through salting, smoking, or wet curing. It was traditionally made only from the hind leg of swine, and referred to that specific cut of pork. Ham is made around the world, including a number of highly coveted regional specialties, such as Westphalian ham and jamón serrano.
Technically a processed meat, "ham" may refer to a product which has been through mechanical reforming. The precise nature of meat termed "ham" is controlled by statute in a number of areas, including the United States and European Union. In addition, numerous ham products have specific geographical indication protection, such as Prosciutto di Parma and Prosciutto Toscano PDO in Europe, and Smithfield ham in the United States.
Pastrami on rye

Pastrami on rye is a sandwich comprising sliced pastrami on rye bread, often served with mustard and Kosher dill pickles. It was popularized in the Jewish delicatessens of New York City and has been described as New York's "signature sandwich". It was created in 1888 by the Lithuanian immigrant Sussman Volk, who served it at his deli on Delancey Street in Manhattan.
Sussman Volk emigrated from Lithuania in the late 1800s and opened a small butchershop on New York's Lower East Side. He befriended another immigrant, from Romania, whom he allowed to store meat in his large icebox. In exchange, the friend gave the recipe for pastrami to Volk, who began to serve it to his customers. It proved so popular that, in 1888, Volk opened a delicatessen at 88 Delancey Street, one of the first delis in New York City, where he served the pastrami on rye bread.
The pastrami on rye became a favorite at other delis, topped with spicy brown mustard. Delis in New York City, such as Katz's Delicatessen, have become known for their pastrami on rye sandwiches. In her review of a book on Katz's, Florence Fabricant, the food critic for the New York Times, described the volume "as overstuffed as Katz's pastrami on rye".
The pastrami on rye sandwich is a symbol of the classic New York Jewish deli, featured in delis around the world attempting to recreate the ambience of the original New York delis, in cities such as Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Boca Raton, Florida, and San Diego, California. The classic, which the Wall Street Journal called New York's "signature sandwich", consists simply of sliced pastrami, placed on rye bread, and topped with spicy brown mustard. It is usually accompanied by a Kosher dill pickle.
Corned beef and pastrami on rye may be prepared using rye bread, pastrami, corned beef, cole slaw, and Russian dressing. Preparation involves placing both meats on a slice of rye bread and topping it with coleslaw. Russian dressing may be added to the top slice of bread.
Pastrami, lettuce, and tomato (PLT) may be prepared using two slices of toasted sourdough bread, mayonnaise, pastrami, lettuce, tomato slices. Preparation involves placing the pastrami on a toasted slice of sourdough bread and topping it with the lettuce and tomato slices. Mayonnaise may be spread on the second slice of sourdough, and placed on top of the sandwich.
Delicatessen establishments in Montreal offer a similar sandwich with rye bread and mustard, although with Montreal-style smoked meat instead of pastrami.
Puente de Laguna Garzón

El Puente Laguna Garzón es un puente que cruza la Laguna Garzón en Uruguay, en el límite entre los departamentos de Maldonado y Rocha. El puente es reconocido principalmente por su inusual forma circular y fue diseñado por el arquitecto uruguayo Rafael Viñoly.​​​ Está diseñado en forma circular para forzar a los conductores a disminuir su velocidad, y permite el acceso de peatones a lo largo de la ruta circular de un solo sentido, incluidos los cruces peatonales que permiten el acceso de peatones a las aceras internas o externas del círculo.​
Anteriormente, la Laguna Garzón fue servida por un pequeño ferry de 2 vehículos que requería luz del día y buen clima para operar. En diciembre de 2015, el puente reemplazó al transbordador, proporcionando un cruce para peatones y hasta aproximadamente 1000 vehículos por día.​
La construcción del puente Laguna Garzón comenzó en septiembre de 2014 y finalizó en diciembre de 2015.​ Su construcción costó USS$ 10 millones, el 80 por ciento de los cuales fue proporcionado por el desarrollador inmobiliario argentino Eduardo Costantini.​ Para construir dicho puente se utilizaron 450 toneladas de acero, 500 metros cúbicos de hormigón y 40.000 metros de cables.​

Albufera

Una albufera (en árabe: البُحَيرَة‎, romanizado: al-buḥayra, ‘el lago’), también llamada albúfera en Hispanoamérica,​ es un cúmulo de agua salada o ligeramente salobre, separada del mar por una lengua o cordón de arena pero en comunicación con el mar por uno o más puntos. Se suelen clasificar como hábitat 1150,​ conocido como “lagunas costeras” debido a un error de traducción de la definición contenida en el manual de interpretación de la directiva de Habitat como "coastal lagoons" que en idioma inglés es un término que engloba ambos accidentes geológicos indiferentemente (lagunas y albuferas).
Su formación suele deberse a la colmatación de una antigua bahía por los aportes de sedimentos marinos o fluviales. Allí donde las mareas no son muy acusadas y la arena se deposita en una larga lengua próxima a la costa se forman albuferas largas y estrechas, separadas del mar por una estrecha barra de arena o tierra paralela a la orilla. En ellas, y debido al lento flujo e intercambio de aguas con el mar, sus temperaturas son mucho más cálidas. Al ser ecotonos son espacios llenos de vida con abundante vegetación acuática así como fauna ictícola que acude a desovar y utilizándolas muchas aves migratorias para hacer escala en sus viajes estacionales.
El término albufera describe un accidente geográfico litoral que se da en varias partes del mundo, aunque se emplea de forma casi exclusiva en España. En otros lugares emplean otros términos que describen accidentes muy parecidos, con ligeros matices que hacen muchas veces aconsejable no traducirlos al español ya que son términos que se han ido incorporando al glosario geomorfológico:
Ramal Paraná-Concepción del Uruguay del Ferrocarril General Urquiza

El ramal Paraná-Basavilbaso-Concepción del Uruguay (ramal U-5) pertenece al Ferrocarril General Urquiza como parte de la red de ferrocarriles de Argentina. El tramo entre la estación Concepción del Uruguay y el Puerto de Concepción del Uruguay se denomina ramal U-28.
Se halla íntegramente en la provincia de Entre Ríos, cruzándola de oeste a este desde la ciudad de Paraná hasta Concepción del Uruguay, a través de 280 km. Otros 6 km de vías que unían la Estación Paraná con la Estación Bajada Grande, donde se halla el kilómetro cero del ramal, se hallan abandonados y cortados en varios puntos. El ramal tiene acceso al Puerto de Concepción del Uruguay y antiguamente lo tenía al muelle de Bajada Grande.​
Su construcción fue autorizada por ley del 12 de junio de 1883 y estuvo a cargo del Ferrocarril Central Entrerriano en la década de 1880. Se construyó en 3 tramos: Bajada Grande-Nogoyá (127 km), Nogoyá-Rosario del Tala (69 km) y Rosario del Tala-Concepción del Uruguay (90 km), totalizando 287,98 km.
El 30 de junio de 1887 se habilitó la conexión ferroviaria a través de la línea que luego se integraría en el Ferrocarril General Urquiza con las ciudades de Paraná, Nogoyá y Rosario del Tala. El 1 de noviembre de 1888 comenzaron a circular trenes de recreo entre Paraná y Bajada Grande y el 16 de octubre de 1896 fue inaugurado el muelle de Bajada Grande. Las operaciones de carga en los muelles de Bajada Grande continuaron hasta 1985 y la vía quedó cortada desde 1988 al caerse el puente sobre el arroyo Antoñico.​
Durante el gobierno de Carlos Menem el 10 de marzo de 1993 los ramales de Entre Ríos fueron abandonados, quedando suspendido el servicio del tren n.º 609-610 Río Paraná que circulaba entre la Estación Federico Lacroze y Paraná y el servicio de los trenes n.º 2305 a 2308 entre Concepción del Uruguay y Paraná.
El 19 de diciembre de 2009 se realizó un viaje de prueba desde Paraná a Basavilbaso con la presencia del gobernador Sergio Urribarri. Fue la primera vez en 18 años que volvió a pasar el tren por esas vías.​
El servicio Paraná-Concepción del Uruguay fue puesto en marcha el 28 de junio de 2010 con un coche motor Materfer que corría los días viernes de Paraná a Concepción del Uruguay y efectuaba el regreso los días domingos.​ El servicio pasaba por 24 localidades entrerrianas operado por la Unidad Ejecutora Ferroviaria de Entre Ríos.​
El 18 de septiembre de 2013, por encargo del Estado Nacional y la gestión de gobierno de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, el ministro del Interior y Transporte, Florencio Randazzo y el gobernador Urribarri, la Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado pasó a encargarse del costo operativo del ramal, siendo esta la actual responsable del servicio de pasajeros, y la Administración de Infraestructura Ferroviaria la encargada del mantenimiento e infraestructura del ramal.​ Satélite Ferroviario.

Mathias Klotz

Mathias Klotz Germain (Viña del Mar, 13 de abril de 1965) es un arquitecto chileno.
Después de graduarse de arquitecto en la Universidad Católica (1990), Mathias Klotz se dedicó a proyectar y realizar una serie de viviendas a lo largo de Chile.​
Ya en sus primeras obras, su trabajo llamó la atención de los especialistas "por esa combinación entre una precisa técnica y el uso de materiales locales y sencillos. Elegantes cajas a lo largo de la costa de Chile marcaron el inicio de su obra, construcciones que eran resueltas con un uso acertado de materiales como perfiles metálicos estándar, cristalería simple, y piezas de madera de barraca, pero con un resultado que iba más allá de lo que se estaba haciendo en países desarrollados con productos de construcción de alto estándar".​ Un ejemplo de este tipo de creación es la Casa Klotz, que el arquitecto la construyó para su uso personal, en el balneario costero de Tongoy, que aparece en medio de una naturaleza, "sobre una gran extensión de arena [...] como si se tratara de una caja dejada allí por azar, un refugio solitario frente al Océano Pacífico. El paralelepípedo blanco se recorta claramente sobre el inmenso paisaje lineal. Las marcadas aristas de la casa, a pesar de su predominante horizontalidad, contrastan con la dulzura del paisaje, en el cual la casa parece flotar, ya que está ligeramente sobreelevada".​
Ganó el Premio Borromini de Arquitectura en 2001 en la categoría de arquitectos menores de 40 años.
Su trabajo, enraizado en la arquitectura moderna, lo ha llevado a ser quizás el arquitecto chileno reciente más conocido en el exterior. Se desempeña como decano de la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad Diego Portales en Santiago de Chile. Ha realizado también conferencias en México, España, Estados Unidos, Francia, Italia, China, Turquía e Irlanda, entre otros.
Ha realizado proyectos en el Líbano, Argentina, Uruguay, España, China y la República Dominicana. Sus obras han sido publicadas en numerosas revistas internacionales de Arquitectura.
Mathias Klotz perteneció a SKF-Calypso, que fue el primer equipo consolidado de skaters de Sudamérica. También estaba integrado por el patinetista Tony Sarroca —quien era su líder—, Tomás Morales, Rafael Aristía, Edmundo Lecaros, Sebastián Monckeberg, Carlos Salas y María Alejandra Salas entre otros.​
Área de manejo de hábitats y/o especies Laguna Garzón

El Área de manejo de hábitats y/o especies Laguna Garzón es una de las áreas protegidas de Uruguay, teniendo como eje central de preservación la Laguna Garzón. Esta área ha sido objetivo de protección desde 1977 al formar parte del Parque Nacional Lacustre y Área de Uso Múltiple junto con otras áreas costeras del este de Uruguay. Sin embargo en 2014, la Laguna Garzón junto con los predios que la rodean y un sector oceánico pasaron a integrar independientemente el Sistema Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas de Uruguay.​
El área protegida se encuentra situada en la zona sureste de Uruguay, en el límite entre los departamentos de Maldonado y Rocha. Dista 7 km del balneario José Ignacio y 40 km de la ciudad de La Paloma. Se accede al área a través de las rutas nacionales 9 y 10.​
La primera normativa respecto a la importancia de protección de la Laguna Garzón data de 1977, cuando la laguna pasó a formar parte del parque nacional Lacustre y Área de Uso Múltiple, junto con las lagunas José Ignacio y Rocha, a través del decreto n.º 260/977 del 11 de mayo de 1977. En dicho decreto incluye dentro del parque, además de las tres lagunas, el espacio público de dunas que se encuentra comprendido entre la rambla proyectada y el mar, y que va desde la laguna de José Ignacio hasta la laguna de Rocha. Posteriormente a través del artículo 458 de la ley 16.170 de 1990 se encomendó al MVOTMA el estudio y definición precisa de las áreas de protección y reserva ecológica así como la reglamentación de su uso y manejo, de entre otras áreas la precisada en el anterior decreto N° 260/977. ​​​
En 1990 a través del Decreto Nº 12/90 se declaró Reserva Turística Nacional al área de la costa oceánica del departamento de Rocha, comprendida entre el límite con el departamento de Maldonado, la ruta nacional Nº 9 y el océano Atlántico.​
En diciembre de 2011 la Dirección Nacional de Medio Ambiente (DINAMA), propuso el ingreso del Área Protegida Laguna Garzón al Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas (SNAP), el cual fue efectivizado en noviembre de 2014 a través del decreto 341/014.​​
El área protegida está compuesta por las lagunas Garzón, Laguna Nueva, Rincón de Techera, Mansa, Larga y Chica, así como también por un anillo de predios alrededor de las mismas y un sector del Océano Atlántico que se proyecta seis millas náuticas desde la costa.​
Municipio de Garzón

El municipio de Garzón y José Ignacio es uno de los ocho municipios del departamento de Maldonado, en Uruguay. Fue creado por la Ley N.º 18.653 del 15 de marzo de 2010.​

Según el Decreto N.º 3862 del 11 de febrero de 2010 de la Junta Departamental de Maldonado, se estableció la siguiente jurisdicción territorial:​
Según el Decreto N.º 3909 del 2 de diciembre de 2014 (decreto ampliatorio del 3862) de la Junta Departamental de Maldonado, se dispusieron las siguientes series electorales:​
La autoridad del municipio es el Concejo Municipal, compuesto por el Alcalde y cuatro Concejales.
Laguna Garzón

Laguna José Ignacio (José Ignacio Lagoon) is a body of water located between Maldonado Department and Rocha Department, Uruguay. A sandbank separates it from the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest famous seaside resort is José Ignacio.
This coastal lagoon was previously served by a small 2-vehicle ferry that required daylight and good weather to operate; in December 2015, the unique circular Laguna Garzón Bridge on Route 10 was opened to vehicular traffic, providing a crossing for pedestrians and up to approximately 1,000 vehicles a day.
The lagoon has been designated part of the National System of Protected Areas in Uruguay. It is a birdwatching site. It has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a significant population of wintering buff-breasted sandpipers.
List of bridges in India

This is a list of bridges in India.
The largest of all indian's railway bridges is the Chenab Bridge, located on the Jammu–Baramulla line that connects the Jammu region and the Kashmir Valley, which turned out to be the most expensive line of Indian's railway network. The Chenab Bridge was the highest arch bridge in the world when opening in 2022 with a deck 322 m (1,056 ft) above the Chenab River, it's still the highest railway bridge on earth nowadays.
Extradosed bridges have experienced remarkable growth in India since the 2010s with a large number of multi-span bridges built on rivers such as the Ganges, which has significant widths in certain places. Their advantages are as follows:
The first major extradosed bridge built in India is the Second Vivekananda Bridge between Howrah and Kolkata. It has 8 pylons and a suspended length of 880 m (2,890 ft), which was among the longest in its category at the time. Additionally it had one of the largest numbers of spans at the time. Another main feature of the bridge is its 29 m (95 ft) width with 6 road lanes for a single plane axial suspension.
The Arrah–Chhapra Bridge held the record for the longest total extradosed span length in the world when it was inaugurated in 2017, with 16 pylons and 1,920 m (6,300 ft), surpassing the well-known Twinkle Ibigawa Bridge [ja] in Japan. This record will be largely beaten by the new Kacchi Dargah–Bidupur Bridge under construction with 66 pylons and an extradose length of 9,750 m (31,990 ft).
The Rajendra Setu was the first rail-cum-road bridge in independent India on the river Ganga, one of the major rivers in the country.
This table presents the structures with spans greater than 120 metres (390 ft) (non-exhaustive list).
Circular Pedestrian Bridge

Circular Pedestrian Bridge, also known as Ponte do Laço, is a pedestrian steel bridge above the Canal de São Roque and the Canal dos Botirões, two of the channels of the Aveiro Lagoon. Designed by Luís Viegas and Domingos Moreira, the bridge features an "unusual" circular design that is supported in three margins and suspended by a mast. It opened to the public in May 2006.
Outline of Venice

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Venice:
Venice – city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges, of which there are 400. The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Parts of Venice are renowned for the beauty of their settings, their architecture, and artwork. The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a World Heritage Site. The Republic of Venice was a major financial and maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. The City State of Venice is considered to have been the first real international financial center which gradually emerged from the 9th century to its peak in the 14th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.

List of American sculptors exhibited at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition

Sculpture could be found at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in various different places and serving a diverse number of functions. The works displayed in the specially designed sculpture exhibition halls tended to be by the better known artists of the day but the visitors to the Expo did not need to enter the buildings to find sculpture. The grounds, especially around the lagoon areas and decorating the various bridges were liberally sprinkled with sculpture, most of it made out of staff, an impermanent material. Also to be found were a number of fountains. Another form of sculpture at the Fair, also made of staff, was the architectural sculpture that adorned a large number of the buildings.
Sixteen bridges spanned the lagoons that meandered through the fairgrounds. Four statues of native American mammals, also made of staff, decorated the piers at each end of a bridge.
Laguna de Rocha

Laguna de Rocha (Rocha Lagoon) is a body of water located in Rocha Department, Uruguay.
On 31 October 1945, a Latecoere 631 (F-BANT) of Air France made an emergency landing in Laguna de Rocha after the no. 3 engine propeller separated and sliced a three-metre hole into the fuselage, killing two passengers and starting a small fire. The plane was later repaired.
The lagoon and its surroundings were declared a protected area in 1977. It has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of coscoroba and black-necked swans, Chilean flamingos, buff-breasted sandpipers, straight-billed reedhaunters and black-and-white monjitas.
Jaguarão

Jaguarão (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒaɡwɐˈɾɐ̃w]) is a municipality in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul located on the shores of the Jaguarão River, bordering Uruguay.
It lies a short distance inland from the Mirim Lagoon.
In 1865 it was the site of the Battle of Jaguarão, fought against Uruguayan forces.
Located in the extreme south of Brazil and the border with Uruguay, the Baron of Mauá International Bridge links it with Río Branco.
Uruguay has a Consulate in Jaguarão.
Dos Hermanos Bridge

The Dos Hermanos Bridge (Spanish: Puente Dos Hermanos) is a bridge in San Juan, the capital municipality of Puerto Rico. Crossing over the Condado Lagoon, it connects the district of Condado in the barrio of Santurce with the land entrance to San Juan Islet, which is where the historic quarter of Old San Juan is located. The bridge was designed and built by brothers Hernand and Sosthenes Behn, opening in May 22, 1910.
The bridge is named "Dos Hermanos", which translates to "Two Brothers", after the brothers Hernan and Sosthenes Benn who built it in 1910.
The Behn Brothers, Hernan and Sosthenes, arrived at Puerto Rico in 1906 from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. They were the founders of the Porto Rico Telephone Company, and decided to create a 150-acre real estate development in Santurce. This project became what is now known as Condado. To help with the process, the Behn Brothers built permanent bridges to facilitate the access, and people quickly started calling the main bridge "Dos Hermanos".
In 1999, a project of reconstruction and restoration of the bridge started. However, it had to be halted for not counting with the necessary permits. The project was restarted on July 4, 2011, and the new bridge was inaugurated in December 2011.

Maharajas' Express

The Maharajas' Express is a luxury tourist train owned and operated by The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). It serves four routes across North-West and Central India, mainly centered on Rajasthan between the months of October and April.
The Maharajas' Express, often also referred to as the Orient Express of the Orient was voted "The World's Leading Luxury Train" Seven times in a row at The World Travel Awards from 2012 through 2018. Maharajas' Express also received recognition from the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Travel Award in 2022.
The train service was started in March 2010. The IRCTC and Cox and Kings India Ltd entered a joint venture, setting up Royale Indian Rail Tours Ltd (RIRTL) to oversee the functioning and management of the Maharajas' Express. This arrangement was terminated on 12 August 2011, and the train was then operated exclusively by IRCTC.
The train comprises 23 carriages which include accommodation, dining, bar, lounge, generator, and store cars. Accommodation is available in 14 guest carriages with a total passenger capacity of 84. The train also has a lounge called the Rajah Club with a private bar, two dining cars, and a dedicated bar car. The train is also equipped with a water filtration plant.
The guest carriages provide seating and sleeping capacity for 84 guests. There are 20 Deluxe Cabins, 18 Junior Suites, 4 Suites, and a Presidential Suite. All suites have a full bath. The Presidential suite occupies an entire rail carriage, incorporating a separate sitting-cum-dining room, a master bedroom and bathroom with shower and bathtub, plus a twin bedroom and bathroom with shower,
The train has two dining cars—named Rang Mahal and Mayur Mahal—designed for full fine dining service. Mayur Mahal (the Peacock restaurant) has a peacock feather theme in its décor. The Rajah Club is a dedicated bar carriage. The Safari lounge and bar have a multilingual library.
Maharajas Express operates four different itineraries from October to April, of which two are short-term Golden Triangle (Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra) tours and the other three are week-long pan-India voyages:
The train's curated journey includes participation in evening prayer rituals at the banks of river Ganga.
Meghalayan cuisine

Meghalayan cuisine is the local cuisine of the Indian state of Meghalaya. Meghalaya is home to three tribes; it has a unique cuisine, different from the other Seven Sister States of northeast India. The staple food of the people is rice with spicy meat and fish preparations. They rear goats, pigs, fowl, ducks and cows and relish their meat.
The dishes of Khasis and Jaintia are Jadoh, Ki Kpu, tung rymbai, and pickled bamboo shoots; bamboo shoots are also a favorite dish of the Garos. Garos eat both domesticated and non-domesticated animals, though their everyday staples are simple foods such as rice with kapa, cooked with a special ingredient called purambhi masala.
Gum base

Gum base is the non-nutritive, non-digestible, water-insoluble masticatory delivery system used to carry sweeteners, flavors, and any other substances in chewing gum and bubble gum. It provides all the basic textural and masticatory properties of gum.
The actual composition of a gum base is usually a trade secret. In the United States, the FDA allows 46 different chemicals under the umbrella of "gum base". These chemicals are grouped into the following categories.
Gum bases for chewing gum are different from those for bubble gum. A bubble gum base is formulated with the ability to blow bubbles; it contains higher levels of elastomers or higher molecular weight polymers for this purpose. Gum bases for antacid use calcium carbonate as a filler, while gum bases for acid flavored gum use talc as a filler, since acids can react with calcium carbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas, which is undesirable.
Bubble gum usually contains 15–20% gum base, while chewing gum contains 20–25% gum base and sugar-free chewing gum contains 25–30% gum base.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and at Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company are studying the possibility of making gum base with biodegradable zein (corn protein).
Large chewing gum manufacturers generally produce their own gum base in-house while small chewing gum producers usually buy gum base from third-party suppliers.
Another way to categorize the various components of gum bases is by their utility in the base.
Old gum bases were based on either natural elastomers such as latexes, vegetable gums like chicle, spruce gum, and mastic gum, or alternatively on waxes, e.g. paraffin wax and beeswax, but today synthetic rubbers are preferred.

సఖిగోపాల్ ఆలయం

సఖిగోపాల్ ఆలయం ఒడిశా రాష్ట్రం పూరి, భువనేశ్వర్ ల మధ్య రహదారిలో సఖిగోపాల్ అనే ఊరులో ఉంది. దీనినే సాక్షిగోపాల్ ఆలయమని, దీనిని సత్యబా(వా)ది గోపినాథ ఆలయం అని కూడా పిలుస్తారు. ఇది మధ్యయుగంనాటి గోపీనాథుడి ఆలయం. దీనిని కళింగ నిర్మాణ శైలిలో నిర్మించారు.
ఆ గ్రామానికి చెందిన ఒక పేద యువకుని వలన ఈ ఆలయానికి సాక్షిగోపాల అనే పేరు వచ్చింది. అతను గ్రామ పెద్ద కుమార్తెతో ప్రేమలో పడ్డాడని చెబుతారు. అయితే, ఆర్థికంగా ఉన్నత హోదా అయినందున, ఈ వివాహాన్ని గ్రామపెద్ద వ్యతిరేకించాడు. తరువాత ఆ గ్రామపెద్ద, ఆ యువకుడు, గ్రామస్తులు బృందావనం తీర్థయాత్రకు వెళ్లారు. గ్రామ పెద్ద అనారోగ్యానికి గురైనప్పుడు ఆ గ్రామస్తులు అతనిని విడిచిపెట్టారు. అయితే ఆ యువకుడు అతనికి బాగా సేవ చేయడంతో గ్రామ పెద్ద త్వరగా కోలుకుని, తన కుమార్తెకు ఆ యువకుడితో వివాహం చేస్తానని వాగ్దానం చేశాడు. అయితే వారు గ్రామానికి తిరిగి వచ్చిన తరువాత, ఆ గ్రామ పెద్ద తన వాగ్దానాన్ని నిలబెట్టుకోలేదు, ఇంకా ఆ యువకుడిని ఒక సాక్షిని చూపించమని చెప్పాడు.
ఆ యువకుడి భక్తికి సంతోషించిన గోపాలుడు, ఒక షరతు మీద సాక్ష్యమివ్వడానికి అంగీకరించాడు. అది ఏమంటే గోపాలుడు ఆ యువకుడుని దారిలో అనుసరిస్తాడు, కానీ ఆ యువకుడు ఎప్పుడూ వెనక్కి తిరిగి చూడకూడదు. ఒక ఇసుక దిబ్బను దాటి గ్రామానికి వెళ్ళే మార్గంలో ఆ యువకుడు గోపాలుని అడుగుజాడలను వినపడక వెనక్కి తిరిగాడు. వెంటనే భగవంతుడు ఆ ప్రదేశంలో పాతుకుపోయి, రాతి విగ్రహంగా మారాడు. గ్రామస్తులు ఆ యువకులకు వివాహం జరిగిందని ఆ దేవుడు స్వయంగా మద్దతు ఇచ్చాడు అని భావించారు. తరువాత సాక్ష్యమివ్వడానికి (సంస్కృతం లో సాక్షి అని పిలుస్తారు) వచ్చిన గోపాలుని గౌరవార్థం, వారు నిర్మించిన ఆలయానికి ఆ యువకుని మొదటి పూజారిగా నియమించారు.
వజ్రనాభుడు అనే రాజు (శ్రీకృష్ణుడి మునిమనవడు) కృష్ణుని ఇంకా ఇతర 16 దేవుళ్ళను బ్రజా అనే అరుదైన, నాశనము లేని రాతితో చెక్కించాడు శ్రీకృష్ణుని ఉనికిని ఆస్వాదించడానికి మథుర చుట్టుపక్కల ఈ దేవతల కోసం దేవాలయాలను నిర్మించారు. ఈ నలుగురు ప్రధాన దేవతలు - గోవర్ధన్ లోని శ్రీ హరిదేవ, మధురలోని శ్రీ కేశవదేవ, బాలదేవ్ లోని శ్రీ బాలదేవ, బృందావనం లోని శ్రీ గోవిందజీ. ఇంకా - మొదట గోవర్ధన్లో ఉండి ఇప్పుడు రాజస్థాన్ నాథద్వారాలో ఉన్న శ్రీ నాథ్ జీ, జైపూర్ ఉన్న శ్రీ గోపీనాథ్. ఇంకో ఇద్దరు గోపాలురలో రాజస్థాన్లోని కరోలిలో ఉన్న శ్రీమదన మోహన ఒకడు అయితే ఒడిశాలో పూరీ సమీపంలోని సఖి గోపాల్ పట్టణానికి తరలించబడిన సాక్షి గోపాలుడు.
ఈ ఆలయం ప్రతి సంవత్సరం అమ్లా నవమి పండుగ (అమ్లా = ఉసిరి; నవమి = చంద్రమానం ప్రకారం తొమ్మిదవ రోజు) జరుపుతుంది. ఈ పండుగ ఆచారంలో ముఖ్య భాగంగా రాధ పాదాలను తాకడం అనే అంశం ఉంటుంది (రాధ శ్రీ కృష్ణుడి ప్రేమికురాలు ). ఈ ఆలయాన్ని మొదట రాధ విగ్రహం లేకుండా నిర్మించినట్లు చెబుతారు. కానీ లఖ్మీ అనే అమ్మాయి రాధ అవతారమని చెప్పిన్నప్పుడు, కృష్ణుడు (గోపాల) వంటివాడు రాధ లేకుండా ఉండకూడదని భావించి, ఉత్తర భారతదేశం నుంచి ఒక విగ్రహాన్ని తెచ్చి ఇక్కడ ఏర్పాటు చేశారు. ఈ విగ్రహాన్ని మొదట ఘాగ్రా, చోళితో అలంకరించారు. కానీ ఒడిశా సంప్రదాయ చీర ధరించినప్పుడు, విగ్రహం పాదాలు కనిపించాయి, పూజారులు దీనిని పవిత్ర చిహ్నంగా పరిగణించారు. ఆ రోజు నుండి అమ్ల నవమిని జరుపుకుంటారు. ఆలయం లోపల దేవత పాదాలను తాకడానికి అనుమతిస్తారు. ఈ సందర్భంగా లక్షలాది మంది భక్తులు ఆలయానికి వస్తారు
సాక్షిగోపాల ఆలయంలో ప్రసాదం బియ్యానికి బదులుగా గోధుమలతో తయారు చేస్తారు. ప్రపంచవ్యాప్తంగా ఉన్న విష్ణు దేవాలయాలలో ఆరాధన ప్రక్రియలలో ఈ ప్రసాదం ఒక ముఖ్యమైన సమర్పణ.
భరతేశ్వర్ ఆలయం

భరతేశ్వర్ శివాలయం ఒడిశా రాష్ట్ర రాజధాని భువనేశ్వర్ నగరంలో నెలకొన్న 6వ శతాబ్ది నాటి శివాలయం. ఈ దేవాలయంలో గుండ్రమైన పానవట్టంలో శివలింగం నెలకొనివుంది. శివరాత్రి వంటి పండుగలు ఇక్కడ పాటిస్తారు. కల్పనా చౌక్ నుంచి లింగరాజ ఆలయనికి వెళ్ళే దారిలో ఎడమ చేతి వైపు, రామేశ్వరాలయం ఎదురుగా నెలకొంది. ఈ ఆలయం ప్రాచీన కళింగ పద్ధతికి చెందిన రేఖా విమానం శైలిలో నిర్మితమైంది. ఒడిశాలో ఇప్పటికీ నెలకొనివున్న ఆలయాల్లో అత్యంత ప్రాచీనమైన వాటిలో ఇది ఒకటి.
6వ శతాబ్దిలో శైలోద్భవ పరిపాలనా కాలంలో ఆలయాన్ని నిర్మించారు. ప్రస్తుతం ఆలయాన్ని రాష్ట్ర పురావస్తు శాఖ అభివృద్ధి చేస్తోంది.
ప్రాచీన కళింగ శైలిలో ఇసుకరాయితో రేఖా విమాన పద్ధతిలో ఆలయాన్ని నిర్మించారు. నిర్మాణ శైలి, ఆలయం పక్కనే ఉన్న లక్ష్మణేశ్వరాలయంలో అడ్డుదూలంలోని శాసనం ఆధారంగా ఆలయం 6వ శతాబ్ది నాటిదని చెప్పవచ్చు. కింద త్రిరథ, ఎత్తులో త్రియాంగబాద పద్ధతిలో ఉంది.
