Onion soup

Common for all variations of onion soup is the use of thinly sliced or chopped onions soaked in fat, and a liquid base such as water or broth, possibly including white wine, after which the soup is cooked for a while so that the onions lose their strong flavour and the soup gains a sweet, spicy flavour. In many recipes the soup is thickened with flour or egg yolks.

Begonia
Begonia  is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Begoniaceae. The genus contains more than 2,000 different plant species, distributed primarily across tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America, with Africa considered the center of origin. Some species are commonly grown indoors as ornamental houseplants in cooler climates, or cultivated outside in summertime for their bright colorful flowers, which have petals but no sepals.

Begonia grandis
Begonia grandis, the hardy begonia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae. This herbaceous perennial has alternate, simple leaves on arching stems. The flowers are pink or white, borne in dichotomously branching cymes from late summer through fall in USDA U.S. Hardiness Zone 7. As the common name "hardy begonia" implies, it is winter hardy in some temperate regions.

It can overwinter well in hardiness zone 9a in southwestern Japan as tuberous roots or bulbils (bulbils are formed in axils). Above-ground parts of this plant eventually die as temperature lowers. However, it is generally regarded as hardy to zones 5-6.

The varietIes Begonia grandis subsp. evansiana and Begonia grandis subsp. evansiana var. alba have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Kneža Fault
The Kneža Fault (pronounced [ˈkneːʒa]; Slovene: Kneški prelom) is a fault in Slovenia. It strikes NW-SE and lies southwest of the Ravne Fault and northwest of the Idrija Fault. Movements along the fault can be constrained to dextral strike-slip. The orientation and kinematics are similar to the Ravne Fault, Žužemberk Fault, Predjama Fault, and Raša Fault.

The fault is named after the village of Kneža. It roughly extends between Bovec in the northwest and Idrija in the southeast.

Idrija Fault
The Idrija Fault (pronounced [ˈiːdrija]; Slovene: Idrijski prelom) is a seismically active fault in Slovenia. It strikes NW–SE and the fault plane dips towards the northeast. The activity along the fault started in the Miocene with normal faulting and changed to dextral strike-slip in the Pliocene. The fault was first described by the Slovene geologist Marko Vincenc Lipold. The present displacement is measured and varies along strike but is in the order of magnitude of 0.1 mm per year.

The strongest earthquake that possibly happened along the Idrija Fault was the 1511 Idrija earthquake, which took place on 26 March 1511. It had a moment magnitude of 6.9 and achieved a maximum intensity of X ("very destructive") as per the EMS scale. It caused 3,000 deaths and extensive damage. In the 20th century, the fault caused the Cerknica Earthquake in 1926 and the Upper Soča Valley Earthquake in 1998 (both EMS VII–VIII).
Lugouqiao Subdistrict
Lugouqiao Subdistrict (Chinese: 卢沟桥街道; pinyin: Lúgōuqiáo Jiēdào), formerly Lugouqiao Township, is a subdistrict located at the northern end of Fengtai District, Beijing, China.

It has a population of 112,087 within its administrative area as of the 2020 census.

The subdistrict's name (Chinese: 卢沟桥; lit. 'Lu Ditch Bridge'), is the native Chinese name for Marco Polo Bridge, located at Yongding River on the southwest part of the subdistrict.

Marco Polo Bridge
The Marco Polo Bridge or Lugou Bridge (simplified Chinese: 卢沟桥; traditional Chinese: 盧溝橋; pinyin: Lúgōu Qiáo) is a stone bridge located 15 km southwest of Beijing's city center in the Fengtai District.  It bridges the Yongding River, a major tributary of Hai River.  Situated at the eastern end of the bridge is the Wanping Fortress, a historic 17th-century fortress, with the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression inside.

The Marco Polo Bridge is well known because it was highly praised by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo during his visit to China in the 13th century (leading the bridge to become known in Europe simply as the Marco Polo Bridge), and for the 20th-century Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which marked the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).

In recent years, the water of Yongding River has been diverted to different areas of Beijing, so there is often no water under the bridge.
