Dondurma or Turkish mastic ice cream (, the ice cream of Maraş city).
It is much more difficult and heavy than the Arabic mastic ice cream.
It has more fatty because it has more sweet cream or heavy cream with a high fat percentage.
In the past, people who lived in the mountains made it with snow, goat milk, mastic, and "dried orchidaceae powder" (type of "tubers").
In southeast Turkey, the ice cream was more solid and sticky because of the powder of the orchid flowers that grow there.
This ice cream is so solid that a knife and fork is used to eat it.
In the Turkish Culture
Dondurma is commonly sold from both street vendors' carts and store fronts, where the mixture is churned regularly with long-handled paddles to keep it workable.
Vendors often tease the customer by serving the ice cream cone on a stick, and then taking away the dondurma with the stick by rotating it around, before finally giving it to the customer.
This sometimes results in misunderstandings among customers unfamiliar with the practice.
Vendors often wear traditional clothing of the Ottoman period.
In some places in Turkey it is customary to treat the ice cream as a Shawarma and cut it with a butcher knife.
Mastic ice cream
Mastic ice cream is common in Turkey, and Syria.
It is named after the Mastic (plant resin) spice being traditionally produced on Greek island of Chios, and, like other natural resins, in its natural form it is "tears" or drops.
Because the real mastic is expensive and difficult to find, ice cream sellers of the other countries prefer to replace the mastic spice with glucose.
a few years after than in the end of the 19th century the Persian ice cream which called: "Bastani Sonnati" was first made for the Persian king and based on the Mastic ice creams with Eggs and Spicees and for seasoning Persian desserts.
In the Middle East only the Arabic version of the ice cream is known, compared to the Far East which sells only the Turkish version of the ice cream.
in Greece the Mastic ice creams is known only in areas close to Turkey and there it is called: "Kaimaki" by the locals.

Low frequencies would destroy small speakers because it is not designed to create larger movements.
This is what a subwoofer is for, to play low frequencies.

Yonsei (fourth-generation Nikkei), descendants of Japanese emigrant
Yonsei University, a private university in Seoul
This article is about fourth-generation Japanese immigrants or emigrants.
The grandchildren of Issei are called Sansei (third generation) and their great-grandchildren are called Yonsei.
The character and uniqueness of the Yonsei is recognized in its social history.
The Yonsei are the subject of on-going academic research in the United States and Japan.
Today, the community which grew from the immigrant children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren has become the largest Japanese emigrant population outside of Japan, including approximately 1.5 million Brazilians.
Other communities of Yonsei grew up in the United States,  Canada,  and Peru.
The use of the term Yonsei was modeled after an Issei pattern or template.
The Issei were born in Japan, and their cultural perspective was primarily Japanese; but they were in another country by choice.
Their Yonsei great-grandsons and great-granddaughters grew up with a national and cultural point-of-view that was different from their great-grandparents.
The Yonsei had never known a country other than the one into which they were born.
The Issei, Nisei and Sansei generations reflect distinctly different attitudes to authority, gender, religious practice, and other matters.

The Plantation of Ulster was the organised colonisation (plantation) of Ulster.
Ulster is a province of Ireland.
People from Scotland and England were sent by the English government to live there.
This started at the beginning of the 17th century, from 1606.
It was colonised to stop the people living in the area fighting against the English rule.
Ulster had been the region most resistant to English control during the previous century.
All land owned by Irish chieftains of the O'Neill dynasty (Uí Néill in Gaelic) and O'Donnell dynasty (Uí Domhnaill in Gaelic) was taken from them, and used for the colonists.
This land added up to an estimated half a million acres (2,000 km²) in the counties County Donegal (called Tyrconnell at the time), Tyrone, Fermanagh, Cavan, Coleraine and Armagh.
Most of counties Antrim and Down were privately colonised.
The colonists were also called the "British tenants".
They were mostly from Scotland and England.
They had to be English-speaking and Protestant.
The Scottish colonists were mostly Presbyterian and the English mostly members of the Church of England.
The Plantation of Ulster was the biggest of the Plantations of Ireland.
Hugh O’Donnell and Hugh O’Neill felt their position and the power of Ulster was under threat from the English intruders.
There were many series of battles defeating small English groups, the rebellion known as the Nine Years' War.
The following year they wrote to King Philip II of Spain for help.
The Spanish aid came in but landed in Kinsale in October 1601 miles away from Ulster.
O’Neill and O’Donnell gathered their army and met in Kinsale on Christmas Eve 1601.
They were defeated by a strong English army of 20,000 men, led by Lord Deputy Mountjoy.
The Spaniards surrendered.
Within two years, O’Neill and other leaders surrendered at the Treaty of Mellifont.
At Mellifont, the Ulster chieftains agreed to accept English rule in their lands (sheriffs and judges).
They also agreed to abandon Brehon Law, the Irish language and any further thoughts of rebellion.
With less support from their people and more English control over Ulster, O’Neill and almost one hundred leading members of Ulster’s Irish families fled Ireland in an event known as the Flight of the Earls.
They went to Spain, Italy and Rome.
King James I was easily persuaded by England’s officials in Ireland that the best way to ensure Ulster’s future loyalty was through a plantation.
First Antrim and Down were given to two Scottish noblemen.
This brought over thousands of Scottish settlers as tenants to work on the land.
By 1609, these planters were securely established.
The area to be planted covered six counties- Donegal, Derry, Armagh, Fermanagh, Cavan and Tyrone.
Lessons had been learned from previous plantations.
No one was to be given more than 2000 acres and laws were stricter.
There were different groups involved in the Ulster plantation.
Undertakers: their estates were usually 1,000 acres.
Their annual rent rates were very low, about £5.33.
All the undertakers’ estates were close to each other.
For protection, undertakers promised to build a strong court or stone house, depending on the size of their holdings, with a strong court or bawn (stone wall) around it.
They undertook to have only English or Scottish tenants all within three years.
Servitors: they were called servitors as they had given service to the crown as officials or soldiers in the Nine Years' War.
These were the largest group of planters.
They were allowed to have some Irish tenants if they maintained strict control over them.
Servitors had to pay an annual rent of £8.
Native Irish: This group of settlers were the native Irish themselves who had remained loyal during the Nine Years' War.
They were located near servitors who pledged to keep an eye on them.

Argleton is a place name of a village that does not really exist.
It is a phantom settlement that was shown on Google Maps.
It was located in the parish of Aughton, Lancashire.
An employee of Edge Hill University noticed this in 2008, and could show that at the location, there are only empty fields.
Some people have suggested that Google added a fake village to Google Maps on purpose to catch out other people in case they plagiarised their work.
However, other people have suggested that Google Maps just made a mistake.
Argleton had been removed from Google Maps by May 2010.
Sadao Munemori (born August 17, 1922-April 5, 1945) was a United States Army soldier.
Munemori was born in Los Angeles, California to Japanese immigrant parents.
Munemori volunteered to be part of the all-Nisei 100th Infantry Battalion.
Munmori's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in northern Italy in 1945.
Without help from others, he attacked two machine guns before smothering a grenade blast with his body.
When his unit was pinned down by grazing fire from the enemy's strong mountain defense and command of the squad devolved on him with the wounding of its regular leader, he made frontal, one-man attacks through direct fire and knocked out two machine guns with grenades.
Withdrawing under murderous fire and showers of grenades from other enemy emplacements, he had nearly reached a shell crater occupied by two of his men when an unexploded grenade bounced on his helmet and rolled toward his helpless comrades.
He arose into the withering fire, dived for the missile and smothered its blast with his body.
By his swift, supremely heroic action Pfc.
Munemori saved two of his men at the cost of his own life and did much to clear the path for his company's victorious advance.

The menorah was an ancient lamp that accompanied the Israelites during their wanderings through the desert and later sat in their Temple.
It had seven branches (a center branch with three branches on each of its sides), and it was made of gold.
Olive oil fed the menorah's flames.
God commanded Moses to construct the menorah while Moses and the Israelites were wandering the desert (see Book of Numbers chapter 8).
The menorah is associated with miracles, such as the miracle of Hanukkah.
During First Jewish-Roman War, the Romans destroyed the Temple and took its treasures, including the menorah.
They took the menorah to Rome and displayed it throughout the city during a celebration of their victory over the Jewish rebels.
Today, the menorah is featured in the present state of Israel's coat of arms, and some Jewish places of worship contain replicas of the menorah.
A nine-branch menorah is used during Hanukkah.

Acarajé  is a type of fritter made from cowpeas.
It is the most popular street food in the north eastern state of Brazil, Bahia.
The recipe for acarajé was introduced to Bahia by slaves who came from Yorùbáland during the colonial period.
In Nigeria acarajé is named Akara, and the women who sell it call out "Akara je", which means "Come and eat Akara" in Yoruba.
So when freed Yorùbá slaves started to sell acarajé on the streets, they used the same technique and Brazilians assumed that they were selling acarajé.
Acarajé is made with black-eyed peas, garlic, ginger and salt, then deep fried in dende - a reddish oil from the palm fruit.
When done, they are split in half and filled with vatapá, caruru, fried shrimp, salad and pepper.
Brazilians modified the recipe from Nigeria a little and started to fill the acarajé with other afro-Brazilian foods.
In Nigeria, none of the Brazilian accompaniments are served; just the bean cake is eaten, fried with palm oil or vegetable oil.
Acarajé are served on the streets by women who call themselves baiana do acarajé.
