The idea is often another term for the Far East—a region that bears considerable cultural and religious sameness.
Eastern philosophy, art, literature, and other traditions, are often found throughout the region in places of high importance, such as popular culture, architecture and traditional literature.
The spread of Buddhism and Hindu Yoga is partly responsible for this.
Eastern culture
Eastern culture has created many themes and traditions.
Some important ones are:
Eastern religion, Eastern philosophy
Far Eastern religions
Confucianism — the belief that human beings are teachable, improvable and perfectible through personal and communal endeavour especially including self-cultivation and self-creation.
Eastern Buddhism
Buddhism — path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality
Hinduism — an umbrella term for religious sects native to India
Sikhism — A religion that developed in the warring plains of Punjab in an atmosphere of ideological clash between Islam and Hinduism.
Its followers keep spiritual as well as martial qualities.
The Middle East, today largely the same as the Islamic world
Christianity — like other Abrahamic religions like Judaism and Islam, originates in the Middle East, where it is now a small minority religion.
Islam — the majority of the world Muslim population have always lived in Asia, due to Islam spreading and becoming the main religion of these areas.
Judaism — although not as much of a presence as it once was, Judaism still exists in Asia (see Mizrahi Jews).

The hand is a unit of measurement of length.
It is now used only to measure the height of horses in some English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.
This unit started in ancient Egypt and was originally based on the distance across a human hand.
Today it is equal to four inches or 10.16 centimeters.
It may be abbreviated to "h" or the plural "hh".
Diwan is a collection of poems.
These poems were often written and collected in the royal courts of various sultanates.
They were very well known for their ability to inspire.

The ghazal is a poetic form that has rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter.
A ghazal talks about both the pain of loss and the beauty of love in spite of that pain.
The form is ancient.
It started in 6th century Arabic verse.
It comes from the Arabian panegyric qasida.
The structure of the ghazal are similar in strictness to those of the Petrarchan sonnet.
In its style and content it is a genre with a lot of variety of expression around its central themes of love and separation.
It is one of the main poetic forms the Indo-Perso-Arabic civilization gave to the eastern Islamic world.
The ghazal spread into South Asia in the 12th century.
This was because of the influence of Sufi mystics and the courts of the new Islamic Sultanate.
Although the ghazal is mostly a form of Dari poetry and Urdu poetry, today it is found in the poetry of many languages of the Indian sub-continent.
Ghazals were written by the Persian mystics and poets Rumi (13th century) and Hafiz (14th century), the Azeri poet Fuzuli (16th century), as well as Mirza Ghalib (1797–1869) and Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938).
Through Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), the ghazal became very popular in Germany during the 19th century.
The form was used by Friedrich Rückert (1788–1866) and August von Platen (1796–1835).
The Kashmiri-American poet Agha Shahid Ali liked the form.
He edited a volume of "real ghazals in English".
It is common in ghazals for the poet's name to be in the last verse.
This is known as takhallus.
Muzaffar al-Din Jahan Shah ibn Yusuf ( Azerbaijani: Cahanşah haqiqi ) (died 1467) was the leader of the Kara Koyunlu Oghuz Turkoman tribal federation in Azerbaijan.
He ruled from about 1438 to 1467.
He grew the Kara Koyunlu’s land to its largest.
It included Western Anatolia, most of present day Iraq, central Iran, and even Kerman.
He was one of the greatest rulers of the Kara Koyunlu.
He was said to enjoy drinking and entertainment.
During his rule Jahan Shah had the Gökmedrese and Muzafferiye theological schools built in his capital city Tabriz.
Azerbaijani was his mother tongue and he wrote poems in this language.

The Book of Dede Korkut, also spelled as Dada Gorgud, Dede Qorqut or Qorqit ata, is the most famous epic stories of the Oghuz Turks.
The stories have values important to the social lifestyle of the nomadic Turks and their pre-Islamic beliefs.
The book's mythic story is part of the culture of Turkic states.
Some of those are Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and to a smaller amount Kyrgyzstan.
The stories were first told orally before they were written as a book.
There are many versions of the stories.
Many dates have been used for the first written copies.
Geoffery Lewis dates it fairly early in the 15th century.
Cemal Kafadar said that it was no earlier than the 15th century.
Stanford Jay Shaw (1977) in his history of the Ottoman empire dates it in the 14th century.
Shah Abbas II (born 31 December 1632; died 25/26 October 1666) was Shah of Iran from 1642 to 1666.
He was the seventh Shah of the Safavid Dynasty.
He was the son of Shah Safi I and a Circassian, Anna Khanum.
His name was Sultan Muhammed Mirza until he became Shah on 15 May 1642.
Since he was less than ten years old when he became shah, the job of governing Persia was given to the grand vizier Saru Taqi.
Saru Taqi tried to end corruption.
He made many enemies.
On 11 October 1645 he was killed by a group of army officers.
Then Khalifa Sultan became grand vizier until his death in 1653 or 1654.
Abbas' reign was mostly peaceful.
It was important for not having any Ottoman attacks.
In 1648 Abbas conquered Kandahar.
He kept it from attacks by Mughal India.
He died in Khusruabad near Damghan on the night of 25–26 October 1666.

After studies at the  collège Maspero in Paris, then at the collège Saint-Martin de France in Pontoise, at the Oratory School in Reading, at the Collège Saint-Jean in Fribourg and at the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly, Cyril Bourlon de Rouvre study electrical engineering at Jussieu before being graduate aerospace engineer at the Institut polytechnique des sciences avancées.
In 1979, at the death of his father, murdered by his valet, he inherits a large real estate holdings, a sugar refinery and 28 companies.
He is CEO of Financière Robur et de Cofragec (1982-1992), of Coficine (1984-1992), of Gestimage (1985-1992), of Fabriques Sucre company (1987-1992), of Robur DA (1988-1992), of SFDIC (1990-1992), general manager of  Éditions Robur (1986-1992), of Elphora (1983-1992), of Société Joyeux (1985-1992), of Vrille (1987-1992), of 3C (1988-1992) and of the Films de La Tour (1989-1992).
In 1987, he started a new career into film distribution by acquiring, from the producer Robert Dorfmann, by one of its companies, the Financière Robur, Cofragec company with its catalog of 650 films including La Grande Vadrouille or La Vache et le Prisonnier.
In 1989, he starts a political career in Haute-Marne, department where which his grandfather Charles de Rouvre was deputy during the French Third Republic.
He is elected mayor of Chaumont, without political party against the centrist senator and mayor Georges Berchet, and regional councilor for the region Champagne-Ardenne (1992-1998).
Owner of the Formula 1 team AGS from March 1989 to 1991, he swallowed $18 million and began selling activities of his group, about 70 companies: First Transair, then the sugar factory, sold to the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte, and in 1992, the catalog movies, lent to UGC in the form of a merger.
In 1991, he gives AGS the Italians Gabriele Rafanelli  and Patrizio Cantu.
In 1992, Cyril de Rouvre buys the Formula 1 team Guy Ligier for an estimated price of 200 million of francs.
With his new owner, the team start again to be competitive and the 1993 season is a success, with a 5th place in the constructor rank (the best results since 1986).
But the involvement of Cyril de Rouvre lasts only one season because of legal troubles.
The 14th of December 1993, the judge Eva Joly incarcerated him at the Fleury-Mérogis Prison, as part of a complaint for fraud filed by the leaders of UGC, Guy Verrecchia and Alain Sussfeld, following the takeover in June 1992 the company Cofragec.
This company has been emptied of its assets, leaving a liability estimated at 172.6 million francs.
Cyril de Rouvre had promised to repay this sum at the end of 1992 but at that time, he still had 100 million.
On 5 May 1993, leaders of UGC have filed a complaint against him.
He spent two months in prison.
In 1996, a judicial investigation was opened against him at the Tribunal de grande instance of Chaumont.
He appeared before the Criminal Court of this city in September 1999 for tax evasion.
Knowing that the prosecution had asked him against three years imprisonment and 20-year ban on company management, he is sentenced the 19th of December 1999, date of his birthday, to 18 months imprisonment suspended and a ban from managing a company for 3 years and a fine large tax.

RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the enzyme which does transcription.
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Roger D. Kornberg for creating detailed molecular images of RNA polymerase during various stages of the transcription process.
With the help of some other molecules, it makes messenger RNA from a strand of a DNA.
This is its main function, but it does various other things.
Products of RNAP include:
Messenger RNA (mRNA).
These are templates for the synthesis of proteins by ribosomes.
Non-coding RNA or "RNA genes".
These are a broad class of genes that encode RNA which is not translated into protein.
The most important RNA genes are transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), both of which are involved in the process of translation.
However, since the late 1990s, many new RNA genes have been found, and thus RNA genes may play a much more significant role than previously thought.
Transfer RNA (tRNA)—transfers specific amino acids to growing polypeptide chains at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)—a component of ribosomes
Micro RNA—regulates gene activity
Catalytic RNA (Ribozyme)—enzymatically active RNA molecules
In eukaryotes
Eukaryotes have various RNAPs in their nuclei, each to synthesis a type of RNA.
All are similar and related to each other and to bacterial RNAP:
RNA polymerase I synthesizes a pre-rRNA which will form the major RNA sections of the ribosome.
RNA polymerase II synthesizes precursors of mRNAs and most snRNA and microRNAs.
This is the most studied type.
It needs a range of transcription factors to bind it to promoters.
RNA polymerase III synthesizes tRNAs, rRNA 5S and other small RNAs found in the nucleus and cytosol.
RNA polymerase IV synthesizes siRNA in plants.
RNA polymerase V synthesizes RNAs involved in siRNA-directed heterochromatin formation in plants.
Eukaryotic chloroplasts have an RNAP very similar to bacterial RNAP ("plastid-encoded polymerase").
Eukaryotic chloroplasts also have a second, unrelated, RNAP.
X-ray crystallography of  DNA and RNA polymerases show that, other than having a Mg2+ ion at the catalytic site, they are virtually unrelated to each other.
So the two classes of enzyme have arisen independently twice in the early evolution of cells.
One line led to the modern DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases.
The other line led to all  modern cellular RNA polymerases.

Adolfo Suárez, Madrid-Barajas Airport is Madrid's biggest airport.
It is in the district of Barajas, northeast of the centre of Madrid.
On March 24, 2014, the Spanish government announced that they will rename the airport after last Prime Minister of Spain Adolfo Suarez.
The airport was originally set up in 1931.
At first it was only a small building.
The first terminal, now known as Terminal 2, was built in 1952.
Air traffic increased.
It was designed by Madrid-based architect Antonio Lamela.
Because of this the airport was again expanded in 1971.
Terminal 1 was made.
It was meant for international traffic.
In 1997, Terminal 3, then known as Terminal Norte opened.
It was mainly for the Air Shuttle service between Madrid and Barcelona.
Terminal 4 was opened, together with its satellite terminal, in February 2006.
The three first are connected.
T4 can be reached with a free shuttle bus.
The satellite terminal is reachable from the T4 by an underground automatic train.
The metro de Madrid underground line 8 stops at terminal T2 and at terminal T4, and a supplement applies for both stops.
Renfe commuter trains (Cercanías) on the C-1 line stop at terminal T4.
The airport is also connected by bus and coach services to regional and national destinations.

An Ashik is a traveling bard, in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia,  and Iran.
They sing and play the saz, a form of lute.
The songs are made up on the spot around common ideas.
The Ashik tradition started with the Shamanistic beliefs of ancient Turkic peoples.
The ancient ashiks were called by many names.
Some names were bakhshi (Baxşı), dede (dədə), and uzan or ozan.
They helped keep oral tradition, helped make a shared value system and kept the culture of their people.
In September 2009, Azerbaijan’s ashik art was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
The word Ashik comes from the Arabic word Asheq.
It means the "one who is in love".
Akinchi, also written as Ekinchi ( / اکينچي) was an Azerbaijan newspaper.
It was made in Baku It was the first newspaper fully printed in the Azerbaijani language.
It was also the first newspaper in Russia printed in a Turkic language.
The name means "The Ploughman".
Hasan bey Zardabi started the newspaper.
He was a journalist, teacher and scientist.
Akinchi was thought to be almost revolutionary because of the language it was made in and that so many people could read it.
Zardabi used a simpler form of the Azeri language so more people could read the paper.
The Russian governor of the Caucasus Dmitry Staroselsky liked Zardabi's plans.
Staroselsky supported him in starting Akinchi.
He was also the one to name the newspaper.
He thought the name would make the authorities think that Akinchi was non-political and about agriculture.
In addition to agriculture articles Zardabi wrote about medicine and biology.
There were also stories about the social and cultural state of Muslims in the Caucasus.
The first issue of Akinchi was printed on 22 July 1875.
Partly because Staroselsky left, the paper ended on 29 September 1877.
There was also little money and few readers.
There were only 300 constant readers.
The paper helped there be more journalism in Azerbaijan.

A raion (or rayon) is the name of a way several former Soviet republics are divided.
The word is from French rayon which means 'honeycomb, department'.
It describes both a type of a subnational entity and a division of a city.
It is commonly written in English as "district".
Raion also can be used simply as a second division without anything to do with ethnicity or nationality.
A raion is usually two steps below the national level.
In smaller countries it could be the first level.
An autonomous republic is a type of administrative division similar to a province.
Many autonomous republics are in countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union.
The most are in Russia.
The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (, ) is a landlocked exclave of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The region covers  with a population of 459,600 bordering Armenia (border ) to the east and north, Iran (border ) to the south and west, and Turkey (border ) to the northwest.
Nakhchivan has eight administrative divisions.
Seven of these are districts, while the capital city is separate.

The Macedonian phalanx is an infantry formation developed by Philip II.
It was used by his son Alexander the Great to conquer the Persian Empire.
The formation was made up of spearmen carrying 18 to 20 ft (5.56 m) long spears.
These were called sarissas.
They were two-handed; the smaller shields were slung over the left shoulder.
The Macedonian phalanx was impregnable from the front, but vulnerable from the sides and back, where it could be attacked by the enemy cavalry.
Therefore, the system required protection, which it got from the Macedonian cavalry, which was the most flexible force.
At the start of a battle, Alexander used the phalanx to pin down the enemy.
His heavy cavalry would drive the enemy horse from the field, and then charge selected opponents or exposed enemy unit flanks.
Then, the phalanx would move against the centre.
The early Greek city states often fought on narrow valley floors, where cavalry was not so important.
Often, there was little or no cavalry.
But in the Greco-Persian Wars, the battles were fought on more open land, where cavalry was a great force.
An example of this is the Battle of Gaugamela.
There, Alexander manoeuvered to the right to prevent a double envelopment from the Persian army.
Darius commanded his cavalry on his left flank to check the oblique movement of the Greeks by attacking their cavalry.
Alexander's Companion cavalry then charged the weakened enemy center where Darius was posted and were followed by the phalanx formation.

For thousands of years, people have caught and eaten fish and seafood.
Today this has become a problem: The population has increased, and more fish and seafood need to be caught to feed all the people.
This means that the populations of fish have less time to regenerate, and they get depleted, which is known as overfishing.
Sustainable seafood is the idea of catching the fish, without putting the ecosystem they come from in danger.
Sustainable seafood is either caught wild, or it is farmed, but without endangering the ecosystem, and giving the stocks a chance to grow.
There are different non-profit organizations that watch over these rules.
Special labels have been created so the consumer can see that the fish or seafood was bred or caught in accordance with these rules.

Chester Arthur Burnett (10 June 1910 – 10 January 1976), known as Howlin' Wolf, was an American blues singer.
He was born on a plantation near Ruleville, Mississippi.
Burnett tried to emulate the singing style of Jimmie Rodgers, a white, country yodeler.
Although he never mastered the yodeling technique, his distinctive style earned him the nickname of "The Wolf".
Burnett traveled around the Mississippi delta for nearly twenty years singing with famous blues artists, including Robert Johnson and Sonny Boy Williamson.
In 1949, the Wolf moved to Chicago and spent time with Muddy Waters.
They recorded for Chess Records.
While Waters toured the country performing, Burnett began to play at several of the Chicago clubs frequented by Waters.
After Burnett was embraced by the Chicago R&B scene, a rivalry developed between him and Waters.
