Romani people in Argentina
The Roma community in Argentina (Spanish: Gitanos en Argentina) number more than 300,000. The first Roma to arrive in Argentina were Gitanos who came from Spain at different times and spoke only Spanish dialects instead of the Romani language. The Spanish Roma settled mainly in Buenos Aires.

Romani language
Romani (/ˈrɒməni, ˈroʊ-/ ROM-ə-nee, ROH-; also Romanes /ˈrɒmənɪs/ ROM-ən-iss, Romany, Roma; Romani: rromani ćhib) is an Indo-Aryan macrolanguage of the Romani people. The largest Romani dialects are Vlax Romani (about 500,000 speakers), Balkan Romani (600,000), and Sinte Romani (300,000). Some Romani communities speak mixed languages based on the surrounding language with retained Romani-derived vocabulary – these are known by linguists as Para-Romani varieties, rather than dialects of the Romani language itself.

The differences between the various varieties can be as large as, for example, the differences between the Slavic languages.
Tsing Leng Tsui
Tsing Leng Tsui (Chinese: 青嶺嘴) is a former cape on Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong between the former Tsing Yi Bay and the Rambler Channel. After several phases of reclamation, the cape lost its shape and became the location of the Hong Kong Cement Plant belonging to Hong Kong Cement Manufacturing Company Limited. The area changed to a promenade and the Grand Horizon residential estate after the plant was relocated to Ngau Kok Wan (牛角灣), northwest of the island, owing to environmental concerns voiced by residents of neighbouring Greenfield Garden.

Land reclamation in Hong Kong
The reclamation of land from the ocean has long been used in mountainous Hong Kong to expand the limited supply of usable land in the territory. The first reclamations can be traced back to the early Western Han dynasty (206 BC – 9 AD), when beaches were turned into fields for salt production. Major land reclamation projects have been conducted since the mid-19th century. By 1996, a total of approximately 60 square kilometres (37 square miles) of land had been created through the process.

Ha-Shaḥar
Ha-Shaḥar (Hebrew: הַשַּׁחַר, lit. 'The Dawn') was a Hebrew-language monthly periodical, published and edited at Vienna by Peretz Smolenskin from 1868 to 1884.

The journal contained scientific articles, essays, biographies, and literature, as well as general Jewish news. The objects of Smolenskin were to spread Enlightenment and knowledge of the Hebrew language, and particularly to oppose obscurantism. Its publication was interrupted several times for lack of support. Ha-Shaḥar greatly influenced the Haskalah movement, especially in Russia, where it was well known. It was read secretly in the yeshivot, in private houses, and in the batte midrashot.

Obscurantism
In philosophy, obscurantism or obscurationism is the anti-intellectual practice of deliberately presenting information in an abstruse and imprecise manner that limits further inquiry and understanding of a subject. Obscurantism has been defined as opposition to the dissemination of knowledge and as writing characterized by deliberate vagueness.

In the 18th century, Enlightenment philosophers applied the term obscurantist to any enemy of intellectual enlightenment and the liberal diffusion of knowledge. In the 19th century, in distinguishing the varieties of obscurantism found in metaphysics and theology, from the "more subtle" obscurantism of the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant and of modern philosophical skepticism, Friedrich Nietzsche said that: "The essential element in the black art of obscurantism is not that it wants to darken individual understanding, but that it wants to blacken our picture of the world, and darken our idea of existence."

Digital cable
Digital cable is the distribution of cable television using digital data and video compression. The technology was first developed by General Instrument. By 2000, most cable companies offered digital features, eventually replacing their previous analog-based cable by the mid 2010s. During the late 2000s, broadcast television converted to the digital HDTV standard, which was incompatible with existing analog cable systems.

In addition to providing high-definition video, digital cable systems provide more services such as pay-per-view programming, cable internet access and cable telephone services. Most digital cable signals are encrypted, which reduced the incidence of cable television piracy which occurred in analog systems.
