Слънчеви зайчета

Слънчеви зайчета разговорно се наричат слънчевите петна, които се появяват по дадена повърхност, в резултат на процеждането или отражението на слънчева светлина, което формира концентрацията на конвергентни лъчи върху малка ограничена площ. Движението на огледало с „уловена“ слънчева светлина е популярен начин за движение на слънчево зайче на всяка повърхност. Естествените появи на този светлинен ефект се наблюдават, когато слънчевата светлина прониква откъслечно, например през короната на дървета. Най-лесни за наблюдаване са на равни повърхности, като стени, тавани и земя. Слънчевите зайчета могат да се движат или мигат, според това дали светлината преминава през препятствия и каква е тяхната динамика. В тесния смисъл, под слънчеви зайчета се разбират само отражения на слънчева светлина, отклонени от първоначалната си посока.
Явлението, в зависимост от езика, е познато под много различни имена, които често се отнасят до малки, бързо движещи се животни.
Слънчевите петна имат различна форма и големина, но предимно са малки и бели и се движат „подскачайки“, откъдето идва и популярното название „слънчеви зайчета“ на български език.
В руския език се използва терминът солнечный зайчик (слънчево зайче), в чешкия házet prasátka (хвърлям прасенца), в испански escardillo (думата също означава мотика), на каталунски fer la rateta (правя плъхове), а в шведския solkatt (слънчева котка) – вероятно защото светлинните петна се движат по начин, напомнящ някакъв причудлив модел на движение на котка. На английски обаче няма точен термин, който би бил еквивалентен на думата „слънчево зайче“.
Слънчевите зайчета се ползват за игра от деца, подобна на гоненица. Друга популярна игра е движение на отразената слънчева светлина с малко огледалце или стъклото на ръчен часовник.
Светлинният ефект провокира инстинкта за преследване при различни животни, предимно хищници (напр. котки, кучета, костенурки и др.).
Слънчево зайче може да заслепи, когато попадне в очите. Случвало се е, публиката умишлено да смущава тенисист, с огледала по време купа Дейвис и др. състезания.
Съществуват специални малки огледала с малка дупка, които позволяват насочването на слънчево зайче. Такива огледала са част от аварийно оборудване и се използват, когато в аварийна ситуация бедстващия иска да привлечете вниманието, например по време на разузнавателен план.
Награди „Оскар“ (89-а церемония)

Осемдесет и деветата церемония по връчване на филмовите награди „Оскар“ се проведе на 26 февруари 2017 г. в Долби Тиътър в американския град Лос Анджелис. Церемонията беше излъчена за пореден път по Ей Би Си. Водещ на церемонията е прочутият американски шоумен Джими Кимъл.
По време на обявяване на победителя в категорията „Най-добър филм“ бе направен огромен гаф. Връчващите наградата Уорън Бийти и Фей Дънауей първоначално обявяват за победител „La La Land“, след като им е даден грешен плик (той съдържа победителката за най-добра актриса). Екипът на „La La Land“ излиза на сцената и произнася реч, но впоследствие се оказва, че наградата е за „Moonlight“.
Орел рибар

Орелът рибар (Pandion haliaetus) е дневна граблива птица, от семейство Орли рибари (Pandionidae), срещаща се и в България.
В Европа (включително България), Африка, Северна Америка, Австралия, Океания и Азия. В миналото често срещана и широко разпространена птица в Европа. Среща се в североизточните части на някои райони на Средиземноморието. Обитават райони с бистра вода и наличие на достатъчно количество риба. Ловуват в езера, реки или понякога морски крайбрежия. Много са чувствителни към човешко присъствие и притеснения.
По-северните популации на вида са мигриращи. По-голяма част от европейската популация зимува в Западна Африка.
Високо специализирана в избора си на плячка птица. Храни се предимно с риба, но все пак малък дял имат и дребните бозайници, патици, жаби, водни змии, костенурки, ракообразни и охлюви. Докато ловува, лети на около 50 m височина над водата. Когато забележи плячка, се спуска с полусвити криле, като прави понякога леки корекции в посоката с малки движения на крилете и тялото. Когато доближи водната повърхност, изнася краката си напред и се потапя с удар във водата сред облак от водни пръски. Спира за момент с разперени криле, за да спре плячката да мърда, и излита от водата със силни махове на крилете си. Може да вдигне и отнесе риба до 2 kg – почти колкото собственото тегло. Понягога хваща прекалено големи и тежки риби, които няма сила да отнесе и които изоставя след неколкократни опити.
По време на размножителния период ухажването включва фигури от висшата въздушна акробатика и пикирания.
На територията на България е изключително рядък и защитен от закона вид.

The Tortoise Trainer

The Tortoise Trainer (Turkish: Kaplumbağa Terbiyecisi) is a painting by Osman Hamdi Bey, with a first version created in 1906 and a second in 1907. Hamdi's painting of an anachronistic historical character attempting to train tortoises is usually interpreted as a satire on the slow and ineffective attempts at reforming the Ottoman Empire.
The painting depicts an elderly man in traditional Ottoman religious costume: a long red garment with embroidered hem, belted at the waist, and a Turkish turban. The figure may be a self-portrait of Hamdi himself. The anachronistic costume predates the introduction of the fez and the spread of Western style dress with the Tanzimat reforms in the mid-19th century. He holds a traditional ney flute and bears a nakkare drum on his back, with a drumstick hanging to his front. The man's costume and instruments suggests he may be a Dervish.
The scene is set in a dilapidated upper room at the Green Mosque, Bursa, where the man is attempting to "train" the five tortoises at his feet, but they are ignoring him preferring instead to eat the green leaves on the floor. Above a pointed window is the inscription: Şifa'al-kulûp lika'al Mahbub ("The healing of the hearts is meeting with the beloved").
The first version of Hamdi's painting was exhibited at the Grand Palais in the 1906 Paris Salon, under the title L'homme aux Tortues ("Man with tortoises"). It was formerly in the collection of Turkish businessman Erol Aksoy [tr; de]. It was sold for US$3.5 million in 2004 and is currently displayed at the Pera Museum in Istanbul.
A second smaller version was completed in 1907, dedicated to his child's father-in-law, Salih Münir Pasha. The second version was bought by the journalist Erol Simavi [tr] in the 1980s, and was exhibited at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum in 2009.
Both may be inspired by an article that Hamdi read in the Le Tour du Monde travel journal decades before, which described Korean tortoise trainers in Japan, who trained their animals to walk in lines to the beat of a drum.
Osman Hamdi Bey created the painting at a time of great social and political turmoil in the Ottoman Empire. The reforms introduced by Sultan Abdülhamid II had either proved ineffective, or had been blamed for the increased upheaval. The Ottoman Empire, which still encompassed parts of the Balkan peninsula, parts of North Africa, all of Anatolia and the Levant, and much of the Arabian peninsula at the turn of the 20th century, was under serious threat from both the growing power of nationalist movements within its territory, and from the incursions of foreign powers which would eventually divide the Empire between them in the aftermath of the First World War.
Although not widely shown or understood at the time, the painting achieved greater significance in subsequent decades as it presaged the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 which brought an end to the direct autocratic rule by the Sultan (eventually replaced by the regime of the Three Pashas after the 1913 coup d'état) and set the stage for the Empire's entry into the First World War on the side of the Central Powers and for its subsequent partitioning.
Mainalo

Mainalo (Greek: Μαίναλο, Ancient Greek: Μαίναλος or Μαίναλον, romanized: Mainalos or Mainalon; Latin: Maenalus) is the tallest mountain in the Menalon highlands of the Peloponnese, and is located in Arcadia.
The mountain's highest point, known as both Profitis Ilias and Ostrakina, at a height of 1,981 m (6,499 ft), is the highest point in Arcadia. The mountain has a length of 15 to 20 kilometres (9.3 to 12.4 mi) from southwest of Tripoli to northeast of Vytina, and a width of 5 to 10 kilometres (3.1 to 6.2 mi) from Zygovisti to Kapsas. The mountain is part of a Natura 2000 site, designated in March 2011, covering an area of 226.4 square kilometres (87.4 sq mi). In the 19th and early 20th century, the mountain was known as Apano Chrepa.
While the mountain takes its name from the ancient Mount Mainalos, and the ancient city of Maenalus which stood at its summit, modern scholars now identify the location of the ancient mountain as "Ágios Ilías", a mountain 25 kilometres (16 mi) further south near the town of Asea. The name was likely mistakenly connected to the mountain now known as Mainalo by earlier European travelers. According to ancient Greek mythology, Mount Mainalos got its name from Maenalus, son of Lykaon, king of Arcadia, and in antiquity the mountain was especially sacred to Pan.
Mainalo is home to a ski resort, which is found at an elevation of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), with 7 ski slopes and 4 lifts, which are at an altitude between 1,550 to 1,770 metres (5,090 to 5,810 ft).
Mainalo's ground is primarily made of lime, among various calcareous substrates.
Mainalo has various named peaks. Listed by height, they are, among others;
The mountain houses many forests of Greek fir and Crimean pine. Natura 2000 cites these forests as the "[Greek fir and Crimean pine's] best representation in Peloponnisos."
Mainalo has several ecological environments, comprising:
Many amphibians, reptiles, mammals, insects, and diurnal predatory birds inhabit Mainalo. These include, among others;

Phyllostachys aurea

Phyllostachys aurea is a species of bamboo, and is of the 'running bamboo' type, belonging to the diverse Bambuseae tribe. It is native to Fujian and Zhejiang in China. It is commonly known by the names fishpole bamboo, golden bamboo, monk's belly bamboo, and fairyland bamboo (Australia).
Phyllostachys aurea is cultivated as an ornamental plant for gardens. In the United States, Australia, South Africa and Italy, it is considered an invasive species that crowds out native species and becomes a monoculture that is difficult to remove. It is a cold-hardy bamboo, performing well in USDA zones 6 to 10, (Connecticut to Florida). In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is a tall evergreen species growing to 8 m (26 ft) tall by 4 m (13 ft) broad. Like most bamboos it can become invasive if kept in warm, moist conditions in good quality soil with access to full sunlight. It is a prohibited species in New York.
Cultivars include:
P. aurea's lush foliage makes it desirable for ornamental purposes and privacy hedges, and its characteristic 'knotty' compressed lower internodes render it desirable among collectors. It is well-suited to the making of bamboo pipes.
The common forms of P. aurea are easily identified by their characteristic compressed internodes in the lower part of the canes which have a tortoise shell-like appearance. This internodal compression result in shorter heights (25 ft) and thicker cane diameters (relative to height) than many other Phyllostachys species.
The canes turn yellow in full or partial sun, and deepen into a gold-orange color as the plant matures. Branching and foliage tend to start lower to the ground than many other Phyllostachys species, but some prefer to cut off lower branches to show off the interesting 'tortoise shell' lower part of the canes.

Ipomoea pandurata

Ipomoea pandurata, known as man of the earth, wild potato vine, manroot, wild sweet potato, and wild rhubarb, is a species of herbaceous perennial vine native to North America. It is a twining plant of woodland verges and rough places with heart-shaped leaves and funnel-shaped white flowers with a pinkish throat. The large tuberous roots can be roasted and eaten, or can be used to make a poultice or infusion. When uncooked, the roots have purgative properties.
I. pandurata is a twining and scrambling vine that can reach 30 ft (9 m). The stems are usually hairless and bear alternate, olive-green, cordate leaves, about 6 in (15 cm) long, with long, purple-tinged petioles. The flowers develop in the axils of the leaves in groups of one to five. The sepals are light green and hairless, and overlap one another. The flowers are tubular, white with a pinkish or purplish throat. The corolla is five-lobed, some 2.5 to 3 in (6.4 to 7.6 cm) long and wide. The stamens form a white boss in the middle of the throat. Flowers open overnight and close, on a sunny day, about mid-day, but last longer in cloudy weather. They are followed by capsules containing two to four flat seeds which are noticeably hairy along their outer edges.
The native range is the southern and eastern parts of the United States, extending northwards into Ontario in Canada. Habitats include upland woods, the edges of prairies bordering woodlands, thickets, rocky gullies and stream-sides, disturbed ground, and railway and highway verges.
Long-tongued bees such as honey bees, bumblebees and digger bees visit I. pandurata seeking nectar, as do various butterflies and moths. Tortoise beetles (subfamily Cassidinae) of various sorts and the sweet potato leaf beetle (Typophorus nigritus) feed on the leaves. The larvae of the latter two beetles feed on the swollen tuberous roots, while the larvae of the sweet potato leaf miner moth (Bedellia somnulentella), the morning-glory plume moth (Emmelina monodactyla) and the sweetpotato hornworm (Agrius cingulata) feed on the foliage. Mammalian herbivorous animals avoid this plant which tastes bitter and is toxic to some extent.
The root of this plant produces a large edible tuber that can be as much as 75 cm (30 in) long and 12 cm (5 in) thick, weighing up to 10 kg (22 lb)., with other sources alleging even larger sizes. This can be roasted and eaten, resembling a sweet potato, young specimens being best as older tubers may be bitter. Other uses for the plant include the preparation of a poultice from the roots which can be used to ease pain in rheumatic joints. The roots are also used to prepare an infusion that is said to have expectorant, diuretic and laxative effects.

Cordia sebestena

Cordia sebestena is a shrubby tree in the borage family, Boraginaceae, native to the American tropics. It ranges from southern Florida in the United States and the Bahamas, southwards throughout Central America and the Greater Antilles. Common names have included siricote or kopté (Mayan) in 19th Century northern Yucatán, scarlet cordia in Jamaica, and Geiger tree (after Key West wrecker John Geiger) in Florida.
Cordia sebestena grows to a maximum height of 8–9 m (25–30 ft) at maturity, with a nearly equal spread. The crown is round to vase-shaped. Branches tend to be somewhat drooping, and the tree is naturally multitrunked. When only a single trunk is allowed to develop, it can attain a diameter of 30 cm (12 in).
The dense, evergreen foliage consists of dark green, leathery, alternate, ovate leaves, 18 cm (7 in) long, with wavy margins. These leaves are covered with small hairs, lending them a rough, "sandpapery" texture.
Flowers are produced in clusters at branch ends throughout the year, particularly in the spring and summer. Flowers are 5 cm (2 in) wide, red-orange in color, tubular, flaring (salverform) with 5–7 lobes, bearing 5–7 stamens of similar height. The species is heterostylous and presumably self-incompatible. Pear-shaped fruits follow the flowers, averaging 5 cm (2 in) in length. Fruits are fragrant and edible, but not flavorful.
Cordia sebestena is widely planted throughout the tropics as an ornamental plant in gardens for its showy flowers. It is a slow-growing plant, and sheds enough leaves and fruit to require some upkeep. The wood is rather light in density, but branches are not prone to breakage. The tree should be pruned in its youth to establish a structure, as it is prone to low branching. Soil tolerance is fairly broad, provided the soil drains well. Cordia sebestena tolerates drought, but not frost. It is not particularly susceptible to pests and diseases, other than the geiger tortoise beetle, which can cause occasional defoliation. This plant tolerates salt spray found near the ocean. It enjoys full sun, and can grow in a part-day sun situation as well. Its uses include: street tree, shade tree, even as a container subject in its youth. It is planted in traffic medians and parking lots, and is a useful seaside subject.

Pastel cordobés

El pastel cordobés o pastelón cordobés es un pastel tradicional de la cocina cordobesa.​ Suele ser una torta elaborada de hojaldre que habitualmente se rellena de cabello de ángel, cidra y en algunas ocasiones de jamón. Se suele preparar el 17 de noviembre (patronos de Córdoba: San Acisclo y Santa Victoria) desde el año 1998 en el que se viene desarrollando la denominada jornada del pastel cordobés en la que se reparte gratuitamente una porción de un pastel a cada uno de los asistentes.
Se menciona que fue inventado a comienzos del siglo XX por dos confiteras establecidas en una pastelería de la calle San Pablo, a las que se dedicó unos versos:
Se suele preparar el 17 de noviembre (patronos de Córdoba: San Acisclo y Santa Victoria) desde el año 1998 en el que se viene desarrollando la denominada jornada del pastel cordobés en el que se reparte gratuitamente una porción de un pastel a cada uno de los asistentes. Fue declarado patrimonio andaluz el 20 de enero de 2001
El pastel cordobés se elabora con hojaldre y posee una forma circular. Si su tamaño es reducido (de 12-14 cm de diámetro) es denominado manolete. Su relleno de cabello de ángel y jamón serrano, es una combinación salada-dulce peculiar. Se emplea una masa mezcla de harina y manteca de cerdo (en proporciones similares), la masa se suele plegar varias veces con el objeto de preparar un hojaldre. La masa suele mezclarse con un poco de vinagre. Se suele rellenar y meter al horno, recubierto de huevo. Al sacar del horno se suele recubrir de azúcar glas y canela en polvo. Suele servirse con un vino de pasas.
Pastel alemán

El pastel alemán es un pastel de chocolate en capas, cubierto y relleno con una mezcla con ralladura de coco y nueces. La cobertura se prepara con un caramelo hecho con yemas de huevo y leche condensada; una vez que el caramelo es cocinado, se agregan el coco y las nueces.​ Ocasionalmente se puede extender una cobertura de chocolate a los lados y en toda la circunferencia del pastel, lo cual ayuda a sostener el relleno. Como toque especial se pueden añadir unas cerezas al marrasquino.
Contrariamente a la creencia popular, este pastel no provino de Alemania, sino de Estados Unidos. El nombre viene del Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, una barra de chocolate creada en 1852 por Samuel German para la marca Baker's Chocolate. La receta original del pastel alemán fue enviada por un ama de casa de Dallas (Texas) a un periódico local en 1957. El pastel se popularizó y la General Foods —propietaria de la Baker's en aquel tiempo— distribuyó la receta y fotografías del pastel a otros periódicos del país; se dice que sus ventas se incrementaron en un 73 %. La forma que atribuye el origen al pastel se fue desvirtuando en publicaciones subsecuentes, hasta llegar a ser lo que hoy conocemos como «pastel alemán» (German Chocolate Cake).​​

What's in the Box

"What's in the Box" is episode 144 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on March 13, 1964 on CBS. In this episode, a man's television set displays his past, present, and future, revealing to him that he will kill his wife.
Joe and Phyllis Britt are an old married couple in New York City who do not get along. Joe gets home from his job as a cab driver late one night, and Phyllis accuses him of seeing another woman. In the meantime, a television repairman is in the next room fixing their broken set. Irritated, Joe harasses the repairman about the inconvenience and cost. The repairman abruptly closes the open TV panel and announces the TV is fixed. After stating the job is free, he leaves, and the TV starts getting channel 10 - a station showing the past, present, and future of Joe and Phyllis' lives. Joe was left stunned when he sees himself along with the mistress. Joe refuses to let Phyllis watch the TV, and faints when he sees himself and Phyllis from the kitchen like before.
When he tunes in again later, it shows him killing Phyllis in a fight. Joe breaks down at the sight and tells Phyllis what is happening. Phyllis seeks help from the family doctor, who gives Joe a sedative and says that seeing oneself on television is one of several common delusions manifested by the struggle to adjust to the new technology of television.
Profoundly disturbed by the sight of Phyllis' death, Joe tries to heal their relationship, telling her that he accepts the blame for their feuding and has realized that his extramarital affairs were only an escape from the stress of his job, that Phyllis is still the one he really loves. Embittered by years of Joe's coldness and philandering, Phyllis scorns his attempt at reconciliation. When he begins reacting to another channel 10 vision – his trial for Phyllis's murder and execution via electric chair – even as Phyllis sees only static, Phyllis is convinced that Joe has lost his mind and taunts him. Joe, angered, attacks and kills her in the same manner as he had seen on the television screen.
As Joe is arrested by the police, the TV repairman suddenly appears and mockingly asks, "Fix your set okay, mister? You will recommend my service, won't you?" The repairman smirks as Joe is taken away.
Buy and hold

Buy and hold, also called position trading, is an investment strategy whereby an investor buys financial assets or non-financial assets such as real estate, to hold them long term, with the goal of realizing price appreciation, despite volatility.
This approach implies confidence that the value of the investments will be higher in the future. Investors must not be affected by recency bias, emotions, and must understand their propensity to risk aversion. Investors must buy financial instruments that they expect to appreciate in the long term. Buy and hold investors do not sell after a decline in value. They do not engage in market timing (i.e. selling a security with the goal of buying it again at a lower price) and do not believe in calendar effects such as Sell in May.
Buy and hold is an example of passive management. It has been recommended by Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle, Burton Malkiel, John Templeton, Peter Lynch, and Benjamin Graham since, in the long run, there is a high correlation between the stock market and economic growth.
According to the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH), if every security is fairly valued at all times, then there is really no point to trade. Some take the buy and hold strategy to an extreme, advocating that you should never sell a security unless you need the money. However, Warren Buffett is an example of a buy and hold advocate who has rejected the EMH in his writings, and has built his fortune by investing in companies when they were undervalued.
Others have advocated buy-and-hold on purely cost-based grounds. Costs such as commissions are incurred on all transactions, and the buy and hold strategy involves the fewest transactions for a constant amount invested, all other things being equal. Taxation law also has some effect; long-term capital gain taxes may be lower than those incurred from short term trading, and tax may be due only when and if the asset is sold.
See Stock market cycles and Market timing. Market timing can cause poor performance.
At the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, YiLi Chien, Senior Economist wrote about return-chasing behavior. The average equity mutual fund investor tends to buy them with high past returns and sell otherwise. Buying mutual funds with high returns is called a “return-chasing behavior.” Equity mutual fund flows have a positive correlation with past performance, with a return-flow correlation coefficient of 0.49. Stock market returns are almost unpredictable in the short term. Stock market returns tend to go back to the long-term average. The tendency to buy mutual funds with high returns and sell those with low returns can reduce profit.

दुर्गा बाई व्याम

दुर्गा बाई व्याम (जन्म 1973) वह भारतीय आदिवासी महिला कलाकारों में से एक है जो भोपाल में जनजातीय कला की गोंड शैली में काम करती है। दुर्गा का अधिकांश काम उनके जन्मस्थान, मध्य प्रदेश के मंडला जिले के एक गांव, बरबसपुर में निहित है।
दुर्गा बाई व्याम का जन्म मध्य प्रदेश के एक गाँव बरबसपुर में 1972 में हुआ था। छह साल की उम्र में, उन्होंने अपनी मां से दिग्ना की कला सीखी, जो शादियों और फसल के त्योहारों के दौरान घर की आंतरिक और बाहरी दीवारों और फर्श पर ज्यामितीय पैटर्न को चित्रित करने की एक रस्म थी। उनके शुरुआती दिग्ना कार्यों को समुदाय के लोगों ने खूब सराहा।
दुर्गा बाई की शुरुआती वर्षों में उनकी कला में महत्वपूर्ण योगदान उनकी माँ का और उनकी दादी का रहा है। दुर्गा बाई व्याम ने 1996 में इंदिरा गांधी राष्ट्रीय मानव संग्रहालय, भोपाल द्वारा आयोजित एक कलाकार शिविर में अपनी रचनात्मक यात्रा की शुरूआत की। 15 साल की उम्र में, दुर्गा बाई ने मिट्टी और लकड़ी के मूर्तिकार सुभाष व्याम से शादी की। दुर्गा बाई के कलात्मक जीवन मे केवल सुभाष व्याम ही नहीं, बल्कि उनकी चचेरे भाई, एक गोंड आर्टिस्ट जंगगढ़ सिंह श्याम जी का भी हाथ है। आजकल दुर्गा बाई और सुभाष एक साथ कार्यशालाएँ लेते हैं और कलाकारों को गोंड चित्रकला के अभिन्न तत्व सिखाते हैं, और चित्रकला के माध्यम में आधुनिकीकरण द्वारा लाए गए परिवर्तनों को दर्शाते हैं।
दुर्गा बाई के कौशल से प्रभावित होकर जंगगढ़ सिंह श्याम ने उसे प्रोत्साहित किया और उसे सलाह दी कि जो कुछ उन्होंने वर्षों तक किया है उसे न दोहराएं बल्कि नई चीजों को दिखाने के लिए अपने कौशल का उपयोग करें। उसके विषय आदिवासी लोककथाओं और पौराणिक कथाओं में निहित हैं और मुख्य रूप से गोंड प्रधान समुदाय और लोकप्रिय लोककथाओं के पन्थ से लिए गए हैं। उन्होंने कई देवी-देवताओं को भी चित्रित किया जिनमे रतमाइमुरखुरी जिन्हे रात की संरक्षक माना जाता हें; महारालीन माता, जो बुरे आत्मा को गाँवों में प्रवेश करने से रोकती हैं; खेरो माता, बुरे लोगों के खिलाफ रक्षक; बुडी माई, फसल की संरक्षक; और कुलशीनमाता, एक देवी जिसका आह्वान फसल बोए जाने के समय किया जाता हें। दुर्गा ने नर देवों, जेसे बड़ा देव, उनके सर्वोच्च देवता, और चुला देव को भी चित्रित किया, जिन्होंने यह सुनिश्चित किया कि गृहस्थ चूल्हा (चूल्हा) हमेशा जलता रहे।
1996 में, उनके एक गोंड साथी, आनंद सिंह श्याम ने उन्हें मध्य प्रदेश के भारत भवन में अपने काम का प्रदर्शन करने के लिए आमंत्रित किया। तब से, दुर्गा बाई ने भारत में और विदेशों में भी उल्लेखनीय प्रदर्शन किया। दुर्गा बाई ने अपनी पहली विमान और विदेश यात्रा फ्रैंकफर्ट बुक फेयर, फ्रैंकफर्ट में की - इसी उपलक्ष्य में उन्हें गोंड शैली में हवाई जहाज के चित्रों की एक श्रृंखला बनाई।
इस कलाकार दंपति ने पारंपरिक गोंड दीवार कला को एक और आयाम देते हुए 2018 में कोच्चि मुजिरिस बेनेले में समुद्री प्लाईवुड पर एक प्रयोगात्मक ग्राफिक कथा बनाई है।
७, लोक कल्याण मार्ग

७ लोक कल्याण मार्ग(पूर्वतः "७ रेस कोर्स रोड"), जिसका आधिकारिक नाम, पंचवटी है, लटियन की दिल्ली के लोक कल्याण मार्ग पर स्थित एक पता है, जोकि १९९० से भारत के प्रधानमंत्री का आधिकारिक निवास है। इसमें प्रधानमंत्री का निजी आवासीय क्षेत्र, कार्यगृह, सभागृह एवं अतिथिशाला स्थित हैं।
नई दिल्ली के लोक कल्याण मार्ग पर स्थित यह संपत्ति १२ एकर की भूमि पर फैली हुई है, जिसमें कुल पाँच बंगले शामिल हैं। कुल मिला कर, इन पाँच भवनों, बगीचों तथा कुछ अन्य सामरिक संरचनाओं का यह समुच्च, भारतीय प्रधानमंत्री का आधिकारिक निवास तथा प्रमुख कार्यगार है। इस संपत्ति में प्रधानमंत्री का निजी आवासीय क्षेत्र, कार्यगृह, सभागृह एवं अतिथिशाला स्थित हैं। यहाँ निवास करने वाले प्रथम् प्रधानमंत्री, राजीव गांधी थे। भारत के सप्तम् प्रधानमंत्री एवं राजीव गांधी के उत्तराधिकारी, प्रधानमंत्री विश्वनाथ प्रताप सिंह ने पहली बार इसे स्वयँ एवं भविष्य के प्रधानमंत्रियों के लिए आधिकारिक प्रधानमंत्री आवास निर्दिष्ट किया था।
अमूमन प्रधानमंत्रीगण अपने सारे आधिकारिक और राजनैतिक बैठकें यहीं किया करते हैं, हालाँकि, प्रधानमंत्री का मूल कार्यालय रायसीना की पहाड़ी पर स्थित, केंद्रीय सचिवालय में अवस्थित है, परंतु पंचवटी में भी प्रधानमंत्री के लिए एक कार्यगृह एवं सभागृह विद्यमान है, जहाँ प्रधानमंत्री यहीं रहते हुए अपने कार्यों का निर्वाह कर सकते हैं। यह एक अतितीव्र-सुरक्षा क्षेत्र है और हर क्षण विशेष सुरक्षा दल के पहरे में रहता है। साधारण जनमानस का प्रवेश यहाँ पूर्णतः निषेध होता है। लोक कल्याण मार्ग का नाम पूर्वतः रेस कोर्स रोड था। सितंबर २०१६ में इसके नाम को परिवर्तित कर लोक कल्याण मार्ग कर दिया गया था, जिसके बाद इसका वर्त्तमान पता ७ लोक कल्याण मार्ग होगया।
भारतीय राष्ट्रीय मिलिट्री कालेज

राष्ट्रीय इंडियन मिलिट्री कालिज या आर.आई.एम.सी. दून घाटी में लड़्कों के लिये एक उत्तम निजि विद्यालय है। यही सन 1947 तक प्रिंस ऑफ वेल्स रॉयल इण्डियम मिलिट्री कालिज था। यह संस्थान एक महान परंपरा की धरोहर लेये है, जो अब राष्ट्रीय रक्षा अकादमी (एन.डी.ए.) और अन्ततः भारतीय सेना का फीडर संस्थान है। यहां के उत्तीर्ण छात्र, रिम्कॉलियन्स कहलाते हैं (अल्युम्नाई का नाम) और वे इतिहास में अधिकतर सभी, भारतीय और पाकिस्तानी सेनाओं के सर्वोच्च श्रेणीधारक रहे हैं।
आरआईएमसी के परिसर में पहुंचने से पहले एक लंबी सुंदर सड़क है। इस संस्थान में अलग-अलग विषयों के लिए अलग-अलग भवन हैं। ये सभी ट्यूडर स्थापत्य शैली के हैं। इन सभी भवनों के डिजाइन एक जैसे हैं, इनमें सिर्फ थोड़े परिवर्तन हैं। इस भवन की कुछ विशेषताओं में उभरी हुई भुजाएं और राफ्टर, वेंटीलेटर के साथ दोनों तरफ की लुढ़की हुई और उनकी सामने निकली छतें, लकड़ी के दरवाजे और खिड़की तथा भवन के नीचे वाले तल पर पूरा आर्क कोलोनेड है। फर्श पर पूरी तरह लकडी के तख्‍ते का उपयोग किया गया है और भवन की आंतरिक साज-सज्जा के लिए छद्म छत (फॉल्‍स सीलिंग) का उपयोग किया गया है।
इस संस्थान की स्थापना सन 1922 में ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य ने भारतीय छात्रों (कैडेटों) को रॉयल मिलिट्री अकादमी, सैंडहर्स्ट में प्रविष्टि हेतु प्रिशिक्षण देने हेतु की गयी थी। प्रिंस ऑफ वेल्स, एडवर्ड अष्टम ने इसका उद्घाटन मार्च 1922 में किया था। तभी इसका नाम उनके नाम पर रखा गया था।
तब यह इम्पीरियल कैडेट कॉर्प्स (सजवाड़ा कैम्प) के प्रांगण में स्थित था। यह 138 एकड़ का हरा भरा कैम्पस देहरादून कैण्ट के गढ़ी गांव के निकट था। तब ब्रिटिशों का विश्वास था, कि निजि विद्यालयों की शिक्षा भारतीय युवाओं के लिये सेनाओं के अनुशासन हेतु अनिवार्य होगी।
आर.आई.एम.सी के लिये, मूल सरकारी आदेशानुसार लेफ्टि.कर्नल श्रेणी का मिलिट्री कमाण्डेण्ट और वरिष्ठ और कनिष्ठ ब्रिटिश शिक्षक और कुछ भारतीय शिक्षक नियुक्त किये गये। प्रथम कमा० थे लेफ्टि.कर्नल एच.एल.रॉउटन, सिख रेजिमेंट, जिन्होंने 22 फरवरी 1922 को अधिभार ग्रहण किया था। हीरा लाल अटल, प्रथम कैडेट कप्तान थे, जिन्हें स्वतंत्रता उपरांत भारतीय संघ का एजंडेण्ट जनरल भी नियुक्त किया गया था। मेज.जेन.हीरा लाल ने भारत का सर्वोच्च कॉम्बैट हेतु साहस पुरस्कार, परम वीर चक्र; अभिकल्पित किया था। प्राथमिक कैडेट्स में से कुछ थे के.एस.थिमैया, असगर खान, इत्यादि।
भारतीय स्वतंत्रता उपरांत, विद्यालय ने अपनी शिक्षा परंपरा जारी रखी, पर अब भारतीय सेना के लिये युवाओं की शिक्षा और प्रशिक्षण हेतु। अन्तर केवल इतना था, कि अब वह एन.डी.ए. के लिये फीडर का कार्य करता है। जो कि स्वयं भारतीय सेनाओं का फीडर संस्थान है।
यह विद्यालय लगभग 134 एकड़ में विस्तृत है और एक समय में 250 कैडेट्स दीक्षित करता है। इसके लिये प्रत्याशी पूर्ण भारत भर से एक राष्ट्रीय स्तर की प्रवेश प्रतियोगिता द्वारा चुने जाते हैं। इसमें चुने गये प्रत्याशी को एक मेडिकल परिक्षण को भी उत्तीर्ण करना होता है। प्रत्येक वर्ष 50 छात्र वर्ष में दो बार लिये जाते हैं।

Ensemble Nabanga

Ensemble Nabanga is a youth orchestra in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Established in 2017, it is inspired by the El Sistema model of providing musical instruments to disadvantaged youth which began in Venezuela and has now spread across the world.
The Ensemble offers strings, woodwind and brass instruments as well as tuition to children in Port Vila, mostly ni-Vanuatu secondary school students. Its name derives from the Banyan tree, renowned for its deep root structure.
Founded and directed by Australian musician and teacher Barbara Ididier, the ensemble is Vanuatu's only musical ensemble playing Western classical music, but also plays transcriptions of traditional ni-Vanuatu folk songs to audiences in Vanuatu and abroad.
In November 2022 they toured to Queensland, Australia, which has a large expatriate ni-Vanuatu population. Their travels were documented in the Australian media, including in by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Pacific arm, ABC Pacific and The Guardian among others.
The ensemble survives on fundraising, donations, and support from a local school in Port Vila, Lycée Français Le Clézio.
Desert Punk

Desert Punk (砂ぼうず, Sunabōzu) es un anime basado en un mundo destruido a causa de una guerra a escala mundial. La civilización del año 3000 (aprox.) que vivía en la "Era de la Oscuridad" finaliza con una guerra nuclear que altera el mundo y convierte a la mayoría del planeta Tierra en un inmenso desierto. El protagonista, Kanta Mizuno (水野 灌太 Mizuno Kanta), conocido como el "Rebelde del Desierto" o "Desert Punk", vive en el desierto de Kanto, ubicado en lo que antiguamente era Japón, como un mercenario a sueldo. Su fama se debe a que siempre termina sus trabajos y que usa distintas habilidades, en su mayoría algo caseras, para derrotar a sus enemigos.
Durante la serie se va conociendo cómo es su extrovertida personalidad. Kanto es el eje de una sociedad brutal adaptada a unos tiempos difíciles llenos de necesidades en los que sobreviven aquellas personas que más astucia tienen. En ocasiones el protagonista es engañado por ese tipo de gente y eso, añadido a su mala suerte (y su enferma atracción hacia las chicas hermosas), hará que se le vayan complicando sus aventuras a lo largo del argumento. A partir de la mitad de la serie la historia se complica entrelazando a los personajes de la serie en un complot para derrocar al gobierno. En esta parte la serie adopta una trama seria que valdría la pena analizar a fondo. Destaca el análisis de la sociedad actual y de otros aspectos como la bondad, la avaricia, la venganza... (No se resume el resto del argumento para no desvelar el final de la serie).
La banda sonora de la serie fue distribuida en dos partes. La primera parte cuenta con los siguientes temas, ordenados por orden de reproducción:
La segunda cuenta con estas otras canciones:
