A pastel is an art colour in the form of a stick.
It is made of pure powdered pigment and a 'binder' which holds it together.
Pastels have been used by artists since the Renaissance.
The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all kinds of coloured art.
The effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process.
Chalk may be added to the pastel to tone down the more vivd colours.
An artwork made using pastels is called a pastel, pastel drawing or pastel painting.
As an adjective the word 'pastel' means pale in colour.

A balikbayan box (literally "repatriate box") is a corrugated box filled with items given by Filipinos overseas to their family back home.
The balikbayan box was invented sometime in the 1980s, in the United States because there were a lot of overseas Filipino workers in the country.
The first freight forwarder to give balikbayan box services was Rico Nunga who founded REN International in Los Angeles, California in 1981.
In 1982, Ramon Ungco, a Filipino living in New York City, founded Port Jersey Shipping International.
Many people think these two companies are the “pioneers” of door-to-door delivery of balikbayan boxes, which back then they had to pay import duties when the boxes got into the Philippines.
On 30 June 1987, the President of the Philippines Corazon Aquino at that time, started Executive Order No.
This order changed Section 105 (f) and added a new subsection (f-1) to Republic Act No.
1937, which some people also know as the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines, which became law on 22 July 1957 by former president Carlos P. Garcia.
This let tax-free entry of personal goods in the country from Filipinos overseas.
People then started sending balikbayan boxes through friends and their co-workers who were going back to the Philippines.
This made it take longer to get a box through, from 21 days to 30 plus days.
The inspections also had balikbayan boxes opened, and people were angry about pilferage and mishandling.
The Philippines Bureau of Customs also did 100% inspections which caused the deliveries to arrive really late.
The inspections had to happen because of some individuals who use balikbayan boxes to get commercial items through without paying taxes or smuggle contraband.
Since balikbayan box shipping is consolidated, even one illegal item will affect all 400 or so items inside the container.
The inspection was made better using high performance X-ray machines.
The industry was scrutinized by the Philippine Senate in 2015 after lots of complaints were brought to the attention of the public through social media after the Philippine Customs Commissioner Albert Lina said that the inspectors would open the balikbayan boxes for inspection and would include more taxes.
This caused the passage of the Customs Modernization Act, which had been waiting to be passed for years, and also had the Balikbayan Box Law added into the act, increasing the tax-exemption ceiling from PHP 500 (US$9) to PHP 150,000 (US$2,938).
This included items being brought home by Filipino tourists from trips abroad, pasalubong or gifts, and returning resident shipments.
The Door to Door Consolidated Association of the Philippines, says there are 400,000 balikbayan boxes that get into the Philippines every month.
Balikbayan boxes may have things the sender thinks the recipient wants, regardless of whether the things can be bought in the Philippines, such as non-perishable food, toiletries, household items, electronics, toys, designer clothing, or things hard to find in the Philippines for cheap prices.
A balikbayan box meant for airplanes is designed to follow to airline luggage restrictions and many Filipino stores sell them.
Some boxes are sold with a cloth cover and side handles.
Others are secured with lots of tape or rope, and so, the shippers don’t confuse it with an ordinary moving box that is lightly wrapped.
The balikbayan boxes come in three standard sizes which are:
Medium: 18 x 16 x 18 inches
Large: 18 x 18 x 24 inches
Extra large: 24 x 18 x 24 inches.
Part of the attraction of the balikbayan box is because it is important to the economy, which allows cheaper bulk shipment of items versus sending them one at a time or in smaller boxes through postal services.
The bad thing though is it takes longer to reach it’s destination by container ship, which most of the time needs several weeks, along with there being no certain delivery date.
The balikbayan box is a modern version of the general Philippine practice of pasalubong, where travellers within or outside the country are culturally expected to bring home gifts to family, friends and colleagues.
The balikbayan box gives connections between family inside the Philippines and those who are abroad, and give goods to the family within the Philippines.

Asia Bibi blasphemy case involves the conviction of a Pakistani Christian woman, Asia Noreen , for blasphemy by a Pakistani court.
She was sentenced to death in 2010.
However, she was acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2018.
Case background and Court verdict
In June 2009, while harvesting berries from a field, Asia was seen drinking water from a communal cup by some village women of that area.
It was considered offensive by the women due to her religion, and the cup was labelled "contaminated".
This resulted in an argument between them, and the women accused her of blasphemy.
In 2010, a judge in Sheikhupura sentenced Asia to death, which was upheld by the Lahore High Court.
Petitions were sent for her release, including one sent by Pope Francis.
Noreen's husband appealed to the high court.
Salman Taseer, the Governor of Punjab, supported Noreen throughout and requested President Asif Ali Zardari to pardon her.
Several appeals were made during this period and the High Court upheld the decision.
In October 2014, Lahore High Court rejected her appeal.
On 31 October 2018, the Supreme Court panel chaired by Justice Saqib Nisar, acquitted Asia Bibi.
Although the majority supported the decision, it resulted in protests by the Islamic parties, mainly Tehreek-e-Labaik.
One such reason is countries joining together to form a new country.
For example, after the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland joined together in 1701, they formed the United Kingdom.
When Ireland joined in 1801, the unified country became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
A second reason is a country splitting apart to form new ones.
For example, after Czechoslovakia split in 1992, it became two new countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Also, after Ireland gained independence from Britain, the region of Northern Ireland stayed in the UK.
Therefore, the country's name changed from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to what it is today, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
A third reason could be a new government replacing or overthrowing the old one.
After the Communist Party took overthrew the Russian Empire's emperor, the Tsar, and changed the country's name to the Soviet Union, the city of Saint Petersburg also changed to Leningrad.
This was because the Communist Party wanted to honor its leader, Vladimir Lenin, and symbolize the Soviet Union's turning away from Russia's system of absolute monarchy, the Tsardom, that ruled before they did, since Saint Petersburg was named after Peter the Great, who was the Tsar that founded the city.
When the city of New Amsterdam, founded by Dutch colonists in North America, was lost to the British Empire, it was renamed New York City after the Duke of York.
A fourth reason could be changing a place's name to replace a name given by former colonizers with the name given by native people, and many more.
For example, after India gained independence from Britain, they changed the name of the city Bombay to Mumbai.
A fifth reason could be the change of standard spelling rules in the local language.
When Pinyin was made the official romanization, or writing Mandarin Chinese using the Roman alphabet, in mainland China after the Chinese Communist Party took over, the spellings of many Chinese place names changed, including Peking becoming Beijing and Nanking becoming Nanjing.
Even though the pronunciations of Chinese place names in Mandarin Chinese were not any different before the changing of spelling, the older spellings did not accurately show their pronunciation.
Therefore, the pronunciation of Chinese place names in other languages, or their exonyms, were based on their spelling rather than the Mandarin pronunciation, which is why they sound so different from each other.
In order to teach people how to correctly pronounce Mandarin Chinese, the CCP made Hanyu Pinyin the only accepted romanization in mainland China.
Even though Taiwan also speaks Mandarin, the spellings of Taiwanese place names, including Taipei and Kaohsiung, is according to the older spelling rules for Chinese place names.
This is because many Taiwanese do not want to use Hanyu Pinyin, even though it is the standard romanization of Mandarin Chinese worldwide, because it was created by the Communist Party of China.

Chinese place names are the names of places in China.
Since the Chinese language has not had any sort of phonetic alphabet until only about a few hundred years ago (compared to the thousands of years the Chinese characters have been used), there has been a lot of confusion on naming places in Chinese.
Since Chinese characters are a logographic writing system, meaning that the writing mainly shows the words' meaning rather than its pronunciation, it can be used to write down words in many different languages.
On top of all this, the Chinese language is not one unified language, but an entire branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family.
Many of the Chinese languages or dialects are mutually unintelligible, which means a speaker of one language or dialect cannot understand a speaker of another unless one of them already knew the other's language or dialect.
For example, Mandarin and Cantonese are both dialects of Chinese, but they are so different from each other than their speakers cannot understand the other unless at least one speaker knew both.
Therefore, knowing which spoken dialect to use when writing out the name in the Roman alphabet, which is a phonetic writing system and not a logographic one, can be challenging.
For example, while the name of the city is written as 北京 in Chinese, it is called Běijīng in Mandarin and Bak1 Ging1 in Cantonese.
In mainland China, most place names are in Mandarin Chinese, the country's official spoken language.
Even though the sounds of Mandarin Chinese have not changed for a long time, there were many different ways to write Chinese place names in Mandarin using the Roman alphabet, or many different kinds of romanizations.
This created a lot of confusion and misinformation for non-Chinese speakers on what to call Chinese place names.
For example, Beijing was spelled Peking, Nanjing was called Nanking, Tianjin was spelled Tiantsin, and Qingdao was spelled Tsingtao.
These many spelling systems caused confusion among non-Chinese speakers and therefore whatever name speakers of other languages called place names ended up sounding very different from Mandarin Chinese.
In order to teach people how to correctly pronounce Mandarin Chinese, to mainland Chinese and non-Chinese alike, the Chinese Communist Party made Hanyu Pinyin the only accepted romanization in official use and banned all other romanizations in official use in mainland China.
Peking became Beijing, Nanking became Nanjing, Tiantsin became Tianjin, and Tsingtao became Qingdao.
While the pronunciation of these place names stayed the same in Mandarin, it allowed non-Chinese speakers, especially English speakers, to say Chinese place names much more accurately to their Mandarin pronunciations.
However, in the autonomous regions, places in China where certain minority groups make up a large part of the region's population, many place names changed back from Chinese to the local languages in order to represent the local languages.
For example, the city of Dihua (迪化) was changed back to Urumqi, which is the name of the city in the local Uyghur language, after the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region was formed.
In Taiwan, where Mandarin Chinese is also the official language, the spelling of place names tends to be inconsistent.
The names of Taiwanese cities are usually in Chinese postal romanization.
This is why the cities are spelled Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung instead of Taibei, Gaoxiong, and Taizhong, which is how they would be spelled in Hanyu Pinyin.
This is the case because many Taiwanese dislike using Hanyu Pinyin (even though it is the standard romanization of Mandarin Chinese worldwide) because it was created by the Chinese Communist Party, which many Taiwanese do not like.
While within northern Taiwanese cities most names of streets, districts, and subway stops are in Hanyu Pinyin (since Hanyu Pinyin is generally more accepted in the north), cities in southern Taiwan use many different spelling systems simply to resist using Hanyu Pinyin.
In several cases, the exact same street can be spelled several different ways.
For example, in Banqiao, Xinzhan Road (新站路) is spelled "Shinjann Rd."
on one section and "Sin Jhan Rd."
on another.
