Belimau
The Belimau bath is a Malay Indonesian tradition, observed in order to welcome the month of Ramadan, especially in Bangka Belitung and Riau provinces. The tradition has been carried down for generations among the Minangkabau people before Islam arrived in Indonesia, as they were praciticing Hinduism, whereby this ceremony could have been inspired by Makara Sankranti.

Belimau consists of washing or bathing for physical and spiritual purification using limau water.

In the Pacific Islands, the Belimau tradition ended about 300 years ago, but it was revived around 2006. Since then, local governments have promoted the Belimau bath tradition as a part of religious tourism. The Belimau Bath ceremony is held once a year, one week before Ramadan.

Lada (mythology)
Lada and Lado are alleged Slavic deities. Lada was first mentioned around 1405–1412 in the sermons of Lucas of Wielki Koźmin, which warned against worshipping Lada and other gods during spring ceremonies and folk performances.

The deities owe their popularity to Polish priest Jan Długosz, who described Lada as a goddess and a god of war in his works and compared her to the Roman Mars, to Aleksandr Faminstyn, who recognized the name Lada in Russian songs as attributed to the goddess of marriage, and to scholar Boris Rybakov, who insisted on recognizing her historicity. However, the vast majority of religious scholars and Slavists reject the historicity of these deities, believing that they owe their divine status to a misunderstanding of the song refrains by medieval scribes.

According to some scholars of Baltic mythology, Lada was also worshipped by the Balts, but this view is also considered controversial.

Planetoid (2832) Lada was named after her.

2024 in American television
In American television in 2024, notable events included television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches, closures, and re-brandings; stations changing or adding their network affiliations; information on controversies, business transactions, and carriage disputes; and deaths of those who made various contributions to the medium.

Carriage dispute
A carriage dispute is a disagreement over the right to "carry", that is, retransmit, a broadcaster's signal. Carriage disputes first occurred between broadcasters and cable companies and now include direct broadcast satellite and other multichannel video programming distributors.

These disputes often involve financial compensation – what the distributor pays the television station or network for the right to carry the signal – as well as what channels the distributor is permitted or required to retransmit and how the distributor offers those channels to its subscribers. While most carriage disputes are resolved without controversy or notice, others have involved programming blackouts, both threatened and real, as well as strident public relations campaigns. Carriage disputes have occurred both in the United States and internationally.  Cord-cutting has lessened the impact as more people move from traditional distributors to streaming media services.
