851369 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihari | Nihari | Nihari () is a stew from Pakistan, mostly consumed by the Muslim Punjabi people of the Lahore region. consisting of slow-cooked meat, mainly shank meat of beef or lamb and mutton, goat meat and chicken, along with bone marrow. It is flavored with long pepper (pippali), a relative of black pepper. It is considered as the "National Dish of Pakistan" respectively. Medically, Nihari is also used as a home remedy for fever, rhinorrhea and the common cold.
Name origin
Nihari comes from the Arabic nahaar (), meaning "morning". It was originally eaten by Nawabs in the Mughal Empire as a breakfast item after their Islamic morning prayer of Fajr.
Popularity
Nihari is a traditional dish of Muslims of Delhi, Bhopal and Lucknow. After the Partition of British India and creation of Pakistan in 1947, many Urdu speaking Muslims from northern India migrated to Karachi and established restaurants. In Karachi, Nihari became a roaring success and soon was found all over Pakistan. Now Nihari is available in Pakistani restaurants around the world. A particular favorite is nalli nihari, which is made with marrow added to nihari, and makes the stew very rich. In some restaurants, a few kilos from each day's leftover Nihari is added to the next day's pot. This re-used portion of Nihari is called taar and is believed to provide the unique flavour. Some Nihari outlets in old Delhi boast of an unbroken taar going back more than a century.

851387 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine%20of%20Baba%20Farid | Shrine of Baba Farid | The Shrine of Baba Farid (Punjabi and ) is a 13th-century Muslim shrine and one of Pakistan's most important Sufi and Islamic shrines, which is dedicated to the Sufi mystic Fariduddin Ganjshakar, popularly known as Baba Farid and is also considered as the "National Islamic Saint of Pakistan" respectively.
Its name
Built in the town that was known in medieval times as Ajodhan, the old town's importance was eclipsed by that of the shrine, as evidenced by its renaming to "Pakpattan," meaning "Pure Ferry" - referencing a river crossing made by pilgrims to the shrine. The shrine was central to a process which resulted in the conversion of local Jat tribes to Islam over the course of several centuries.
Traditions
In keeping with Sufic tradition in Punjab, the shrine maintains influence over smaller shrines throughout the region around Pakpattan that are dedicated to specific events in Baba Farid's life. The secondary shrines form a wilayat, or a "spiritual territory" of the shrine, with Pakpattan serving as the capital of Baba Farid's spiritual territory, or wilayat. The shrine and its wilayat also bound local tribes together with a collective identity based on reverence for the shrine.
The shrine is administered by the Auqaf Department. The shrine is open 24 hours a day for visitors, every day of the year.
Charity
Gifts and donations to the shrine are redistributed to other devotees, in a practice that follows Baba Farid's example. Baba Farid's shrine subsequently became a centre of wealth redistribution throughout the western Punjab. The shrine maintains a langar, or canteen, which serves free meals to the poor.

851400 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani%20Shepherd%20Dog | Pakistani Shepherd Dog | Bhagyari Dogs or Pakistani Shepherd Dogs is a rare breed of dog primarily found in North Punjab. Bhagyaris could be found in the wild in the region of Pothowar up to Azad Kashmir regions. Bhagyaris near the region of Murree are furry compared to the dogs found in plains of Punjab due to temperature adaptation over time. This type is a herding dog from Pakistan, with a long history alongside humans. The word “Bhagyari” Its names, comes from the root word of the Punjabi language "Bhagyaar," which means "wolf." "Kutta" means "dog." within the Punjabi language, comes from the breeds obvious resemblance with the Asian wolves. People say this breed was born out of a combination of a wolf and a domestic dog, a very long time ago. It is also called the Pakistani Shepherd Dog, due to the area where it can usually be found in. There are different theories on the origin of the Bhagayari Kutta. According to the most popular theory, the Pakistani Shepherd Dog originated between a wolf and a domestic dog of some type, hence the name Pakistani Shepherd Dog (meaning “wolf dog”). If you have ever seen an Asian (Pakistani) Wolf, you will see that the Pakistani Shepherd Dog really resembles that type of wolf.
Overview
Pakistani Shepherd Dogs are very strong and muscular dogs. They have a rounded forehead and dark, almond-shaped eyes. Their lips are black and their nose is mostly black. Their feet have very hard soles. Adult Pakistani Shepherd Dogs have erect ears. The coat of the Pakistani Shepherd Dog is usually black and tan, but can be gold, and some can come in white, which is rare but does occur. The colours vary from region to region. They are very keen and love to herd animals, sometimes even little kids and their owners. They are dedicated to their work, courageous, fearless and alert. Very protective of their property, owners and sheep, they can be trained easily because they love to learn new things. Pakistani Shepherd Dogs are very loyal toward their work and handler, loving their family. They obey their owner’s every command. The Pakistani Shepherd Dog has a loving nature and is very playful with children, enjoying playing games. This breed is bred to work, and can't sit idle all the time. Being able to work is their passion. The Pakistani Shepherd Dog loves strenuous activity, preferably combined with training of some kind, for these dogs are very intelligent and crave a good challenge. When not being worked they need to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk, jog or run alongside you when you bicycle. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. Most shepherds love to play ball or Frisbee. This breed does best with a job to do. Without enough exercise, mental and physical, it will become bored and destructive, which will affect its good temperament.

851532 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto%20grammar | Esperanto grammar | Esperanto's grammar (rules of language) is meant to be simple. The rules in Esperanto never change and can always be applied in the same way.
Articles
Esperanto has only definite article la (the same thing as "the" in English) and no indefinite article (the same thing as "a" or "an" in English). They use definite article when they talk about things, about which they have already told something.
Nouns and adjectives
Nouns end with -o. For example, patro means father. To make a noun plural add -j. For example: patroj means fathers.
Adjectives end with -a, adverbs end with -e, for example granda means big, bona means good, bone means well.
The -n ending is the mark of the direct object (the Accusative case) in nouns and adjectives. For example:
Mi vidas vin. - I see you.
Li amas ŝin. - He loves her.
Ili havas belan domon. - They have a nice house.
In adjectives and adverbs is comparison made by words pli (more) and plej (most). For example:
pli granda - bigger
plej granda - biggest
pli rapide - faster
plej rapide - fastest
Pronouns
Personal pronouns are: mi - I, ci - thou singular, li - he, ŝi - she, ĝi - it, ni - we, vi - you singular or plural, ili - they, oni - one/they, si (self). The pronoun oni is used for uncertain subject (like man in German). The pronoun ci means thou but people do not use it much. Instead they use vi, almost exclusively, as the singular form of you, or the plural form - you all.
Possessive pronouns are made by adding of ending -a to a personal pronoun: mia - my, cia - your singular, lia - his, ŝia - her, ĝia - its, nia - our, via - your plural, ilia - their. People use possessive pronouns like adjectives.
Accusative case (the -n ending) is used in pronouns as well: min - me, cin - thee, lin - him, ŝin - her, ĝin - it, nin - us, vin - you or you all, ilin - them. As noted with ci, cin is very seldom used in modern spoken Esperanto.
So, to say how old somebody is in Esperanto, just say:
Lia aĝo estas dudek = He is twenty (20) years old. (word for word: His age is twenty (20).)
Verbs
Verbs end with -as when they are in present tense. English uses I am, you are, he is. But in Esperanto, there is just one word for am, are, is - estas. Similarly, kuras can mean run or runs. Infinitives end with -i. For example, esti means to be, povi means to can. It is easy to make past tense - always add -is ending. To make future tense, add -os. For example:
kuri - to run
mi kuras - I run
vi kuras - you run
li kuris - he ran
ĝi kuros - it will run
Many words can be made opposite by adding mal at the beginning.
bona = good. malbona = bad
bone = well, malbone = poorly
granda = big, malgranda = small
peza = heavy, malpeza = light
Examples of sentences which show the rules:
= I can run fast.
= You cannot run fast.
= I am a boy.
= I am a bad Esperantist.
Yes/No questions
To make a yes-or-no question, add Ĉu at the beginning. For example:
= Do you speak Esperanto?
= Yes, I speak Esperanto very well.
= No, I am a beginner.
Unlike in English, they can answer to a yes/no question only jes (yes) or ne (no).
Numbers
The numbers are:
Numbers like twenty-one (21) are made by their compounding by order of magnitude. For example: dek tri means thirteen (13), dudek tri means twenty-three (23), sescent okdek tri means six hundred eighty-three (683), mil naŭcent okdek tri means (one) thousand nine hundred and eighty-three (1983).
Prefixes and suffixes
Esperanto has over 20 special words which can change the meaning of another word. People put them before or after the root of a word.

Modern history
In 1947, after the partition of India, on the personal request to the elders of the Parsi community by the Quaid-I-Azam, Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the school opened its doors to all Muslim and other non Parsi children of the new nation.
On 23 May 1958, the school began Centenary celebrations and the entire Parsi community participated in the functions that were organized.

Description
"Caduta di lago con scultura" shows Garau's focus on water.
"Garau sees an evocative, passionate and romantic language with touches of color that create dreamy water plays of celestial and blue lights and shadows that plunge into the black earth. The theme of water is loved by Garau, who has deeply studied the movements both natural and determined by human technology, dedicating several exhibitions to this topic. " (cit. P.

851632 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic%20explosives | Plastic explosives | Plastic explosive is a softer solid form of explosive material. In the field of explosives engineering, plastic explosives are sometimes known as putty explosives.
Plastic explosives are mostly used for explosive destruction. Common plastic explosives include Semtex and C-4. The first made plastic explosive was gelignite in 1875, created by Alfred Nobel.
Types
Composition C
The British used a plastic explosive during World War II for destruction. The material was plastic between 0 and 40 degrees C, but was breakable when colder and more liquid-like when it's very hot. Composition C2 had a bigger temperature range at which it would stay as plastic, from −30 to 52 degrees C. Composition C2 was replaced by Composition C3, which was a mixture of 77% RDX and 23% explosive plasticizer. C3 worked very well but proved to be too breakable in cold weather and was replaced with C4. There are three classes of C4, with differing amounts of RDX and polyisobutylene.

851641 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pap%20test | Pap test | The Papanicolaou test (also Pap test, Pap smear (AE), cervical smear (BE), cervical screening (BE), or smear test (BE)) is a test that doctors do for women. The test tells whether the woman has cancer cells on her cervix, which is an organ inside the vagina.
A doctor collects cells from the cervix using a speculum, brush, and spatula. The doctor puts the cells in a liquid or on a glass slide. Then the liquid or slide goes to a laboratory for testing. The technician in the laboratory looks at the cells under a microscope to see if they are cancer or could become cancer. Woman do pap tests because, if she finds out she has cervical cancer early, she can start treatment, and she is more likely to live.
Pap smear Procedure
The test is done in your doctor's office or clinic. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes.
You will lie down on a table with your feet firmly in the stirrups. You will spread your legs, and your doctor will insert a metal or plastic instrument (speculum) into your vagina. They will open it so that it widens the walls of the vagina. This allows them to see your cervix. Your doctor will use a swab to take a sample of cells from your cervix. They will place them in a liquid in a small jar, and send them to a lab for review. The Pap test doesn't hurt, but you may feel a slight pinch or slight pressure.
Symptoms
During the early stages of cervical cancer, a woman may not notice any signs or symptoms. However, some of the symptoms of more advanced cervical cancer are:
Periodic vaginal bleeding occurs after a sexual encounter, between cycles, or after menopause.
Watery, bloody discharge from the vagina that may become thick and foul-smelling is caused by a yeast infection.
Vaginal discharge tinged with blood

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was already president, and he was running for reelection. Republican Wendell Willkie ran against him. It was the 39th presidential election in United States history. This was the only time anyone has ever been elected to a third term as President of the United States.
Franklin was not sure whether he wanted to run for president again. He waited to see what would happen with the war in Europe. Then he decided he wanted to run. At the Democratic convention in Chicago, Franklin Roosevelt's wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, gave a speech to the party, and they chose him to run. Franklin Roosevelt chose Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace to run with him for Vice President. This was the first time a presidential candidate had chosen his own running mate instead of letting the party choose.
The Republican Party chose Wendell Willkie. Willkie had run an electric company. He had liked the New Deal until Roosevelt made the Tennessee Valley Authority, which sold people cheap electricity. Willkie traveled to 31 states by train. In his campaign, he told voters he would keep most New Deal programs and talked about how anyone having a third term as president would be bad. "If one man is indispensable, then none of us is free," he said.
Roosevelt won with 54% of the popular vote. That means 54% of the voters in the United States voted for him. He won 449 out of 531 electoral college votes. Wilke lost with 48% of the popular vote. This was the first time any person had been elected to a third term as President of the United States.
During the campaign, Roosevelt promised Americans that the country would not fight in World War II. Both Roosevelt and Willkie said they would continue helping the Allies in other ways, like the Lend-Lease program.
After Willkie lost the election, he supported the New Deal programs and getting ready for war. He wrote an essay called "One World," which was about preventing more wars after WWII was over. He died of a heart attack in 1944.

It is the fourth largest local police force in England and Wales by number of police officers.
History
West Yorkshire Police was made in 1974, when part of the West Yorkshire Constabulary (itself created in 1968, and being responsible for a much larger area) was joined with the Leeds City Police and Bradford City Police, under the Local Government Act 1972. The force was originally known as the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police. Some older signs around the Force area, such as the one near the Millgarth Police Station in Leeds city centre, read 'West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police'. The 'Metropolitan' from the police title was removed in 1986 when the Metropolitan counties were ended.
Suggestions made by the Home Secretary on 21 March 2006 would see the force join with North Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Police and Humberside Police to form a better police force for the entire region, but this suggestion failed.
On 12 December 2006, Sir Norman Bettison was announced as the new chief constable, replacing Colin Cramphorn and resigned from his position on 24 October 2012. He was replaced by Temporary Chief Constable John Parkinson until Mark Gilmore was made chief constable on 1 February 2013.
In 2018, it was thought West Yorkshire Police would lose 400 officers from its 4,800 officers due to austerity.

851704 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katas%20Raj%20Temples | Katas Raj Temples | The Shri Katas Raj Temples (Punjabi, شری) (Sanskrit: कटासराज) also known as Qila Katas (). The temples' pond is said in the Puranas to have been created from the teardrops of Shiva, after he wandered the Earth inconsolable after the death of his wife Sati. The pond occupies an area of two kanals and 15 marlas, with a maximum depth of 20 feet. The temples were visited by India's former deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani in 2005. In 2006, the Pakistani government began restoration works at the temples, with further improvements announced in 2017.
Place name
The name of the temple complex is believed to derive from the Sanskrit word kataksha, meaning "tearful eyes." The pond was originally referred to as Viskund, or "poison spring", but was later referred to as Amarkund, Chamaskund, and finally Katakshkund, meaning "Spring of tearful eyes." The pond in Urdu and Persian is referred to as Chashm-e-Alam, meaning "Sorrowful/Tearful Eyes." while some of his tears collected in two ponds, one of which is the pond around which the Katas Raj Temples are set, while the other is at Pushkar, near the famous Sufi pilgrimage centre of Ajmer Sharif. The sacred pond in the complex is believed by Hindus to be filled with Shiva's tears after the death of his wife Sati. The water in the pond is of high clarity.
Historical significance
The temples play a role in the Hindu epic poem, the Mahābhārata, where the temples are traditionally believed to have been the site where the Pandava brothers spent a significant portion of their exile. It is also traditionally believed by Hindus to be the site where the brothers engaged in a riddle contest with the Yakshas, as described in the Yaksha Prashna. Another tradition states that the Hindu deity Krishna laid the foundation of the temple, and established a hand-made shivling in it. The temples are considered to be the second most sacred site in the historic pre-1966 East Punjab region, after the temple at Jwalamukhi in modern Himachal Pradesh (Northern India). Therefore they can be considered as the "National Hindu Temple of Pakistan", a potential for all Indian Yatris or Shaivite worshipers respectively.
Architecture
The Katas site houses the Satgraha, a group of seven ancient temples, remains of a Buddhist stupa, five other medieval temples, havelis scattered around a pond considered holy by Hindus.
The temples at Katas are mostly constructed on square platforms. The elevation of the sub shrines seems to form a series of cornices with small rows of pillars, crowned by a ribbed dome. The seven temples were built in an architectural style similar to Kashmiri temples, with dentils, fluted pillars, trefoil arches, and rooflines that are pointed. The Shiva temple is also built on a square platform. Its entrance is a recessed round arch with faint cusps and a rectangular opening to the north.
Recent history
In January 2017, Pakistan's government began installation of shikharas on the temples. In February 2017, 200 pilgrims from India traveled to the temple to participate in the Katas Raj Dham festival. In 2018, Pakistan issued visas to 139 Indian Hindu pilgrims to visit Katas Raj dham.
Murtis (idols) of Hindu gods were placed in the seven temples, at a cost of Rs. 51.06 million. A three-member archaeological team visited India, Sri Lanka and Nepal to collect murtis of various Hindu gods.

Series overview
Controversy
There have been questions about whether this show is good or bad because it shows crime as sensational, meaning it tries to make crime interesting so the show will be fun to watch. In February 2018 in Delhi, a man living in New Friends Colony was accused of rape by his 11-year-old daughter. Later, in court, the girl admitted she had "exaggerated" the complaint after watching Savdhaan India. She said that because she watched the show, she thought her father's innocent kisses were wrong. The court found the father not guilty.
