894034 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaeis | Elaeis | Elaeis (from Greek 'oil') is a genus of palms with two species, called oil palms. They are used in commercial agriculture in the production of palm oil. The African oil palm Elaeis guineensis (the species name guineensis refers to its country of origin) is the main source of palm oil. It is native to west and southwest Africa. It can be found between Angola and Gambia. The American oil palm Elaeis oleifera (from Latin oleifer 'oil-producing') is native to tropical Central and South America, and is used locally for oil production.
Description
Mature palms are single-stemmed, and can grow well over tall. The leaves are pinnate, and reach between long. The flowers are produced in dense clusters; each individual flower is small, with three sepals and three petals.
The palm fruit is reddish, about the size of a large plum, and grows in large bunches. Each fruit is made up of an oily, fleshy outer layer (the pericarp), with a single seed (the palm kernel), also rich in oil.
Species
The two species, E. guineensis and E. oleifera can produce fertile hybrids. The genome of E. guineensis has been sequenced, which has important implications for breeding improved strains of the crop plants.
Human use
These palms are grown commercially, mainly for three reasons:
The production of palm oil. Palm oil contains more Saturated fats than most other vegetable oils. It can withstand deep-frying heat and resists oxidation. It also contains no trans fat.
Oil from the African oil palm is used as biofuel.
These palms can be used to produce fiber.
In coastal West Africa, the use of these palms may date back about 5.000 years. Palm oil was discovered in a tomb at Abydos, dating back to 3.000 BCE.
Especially the African oil palm is widely cultivated in tropical countries outside Africa. Today, most of the commercially produced palm oil comes from Malaysia and Indonesia.
Controversy
Palm oil is controversial. This controversy is not based on palm oil itself, but on the conditions how it is produced. Very often, rainforest, with a high biodiversity is destroyed to make room for palm oil plantations. The companies producing the palm oil also often force people to move away and change their way of life. Especially in Indonesia, there is growing pressure for palm oil producers to prove that they are not harming rare animals in the cultivation process.
In 2018 a Christmas TV advertisement by UK supermarket chain Iceland Foods Ltd, produced by Greenpeace, was banned by the UK advertising watchdog Clearcast, as it was deemed too political. Iceland Foods had committed to banning palm oil from its own-brand products by the end of 2018.

A possible joining between the two principalities, which shared a common Romanian ethnicity, language and culture, had been attempted to be avoided by the great powers for a long time, although it was allowed at the moment it happened.
It is celebrated every 24 January through the Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities in both Romania (officially) and Moldova (unofficially).

894068 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing%202 | Sing 2 | Sing 2 is a 2021 American computer-animated musical comedy film produced by Illumination and Universal Pictures. It is the sequel to Sing (2016). It was released on December 22, 2021. The film was directed and written by Garth Jennings.
Plot
Sometime after the events of the first film, Buster Moon is thriving with his new theater. Failing to impress talent scout Suki, who tells him he would not make it in Redshore City, Buster, encouraged by Nana Noodleman, reunites the singers who competed in the first film and takes them to the city. They sneak in for an audition with entertainment mogul Jimmy Crystal. However, uninterested in Buster's original show pitch, Gunter pitches a space-themed show which would feature Clay Calloway, a rock star who has not been seen in 15 years. Intrigued, Crystal greenlights it then tells them to have the show up and running within three weeks.
During production on the show, Rosita develops a fear of heights during rehearsal and is unable to keep on her role, which is given to Crystal's daughter Porsha while Rosita is delegated to a minor role. Meanwhile, Johnny has been assigned to work with top choreographer Klaus Kickenklober for his part in the show but feels that Klaus dislikes him. Johnny comes across a street dancer named Nooshy who agrees to help him out. Meena has been cast in a romantic scene with Darius, a self-absorbed actor with whom Meena has no chemistry. She later meets and falls in love with an ice cream vendor named Alfonso.
Ash and Buster visit Clay Calloway to convince him to be in the show. He refuses at first, but Ash changes his mind. Back at the theater, Buster asks Porsha if she would like to switch roles with Rosita, as she cannot act, which Porsha interprets as Buster firing her. Upon learning this, Crystal blames Porsha for embarrassing him and threatens Buster to drop him off his building and locks him in a closet. Suki frees Buster and warns him to get out of Redshore City before Crystal can kill him. Ash arrives with the crew and Calloway, who advises Buster not to run and hide like he did after he lost his wife. Buster then decides to have the cast and crew put on the show that night under Crystal's nose, and has Miss Crawly get Porsha to rejoin them in the show.
During the show, Klaus takes the place of Johnny's performance partner to try to undermine his number, but Johnny beats Klaus with encouragement from Nooshy and finally earns Klaus' respect while Meena visualizes Darius as Alfonso and performs a romantic duet with him. Crystal, having found out about the show, and angered when Porsha stands up to him, tries to stop it by dropping Buster off the top of the stage, which causes Rosita to get over her fear of heights to save Buster. When the time comes for Calloway to take the stage, he claims that he is not ready. Ash leads the crowd in a rendition of one of Calloway's songs, giving him the courage to perform a huge ovation.
After the show, Crystal is arrested by the police. While Buster and friends almost leave, Suki tells them that a major theater wants to put on their show. As the cast puts on their first performance, Buster watches from the VIP section, proud to have succeeded in Redshore City.

Infants with this illness have a different type of cry when they are babies; it sounds like a cat meowing or sometimes like a cat screaming. As the child gets older, this doesn't happen so much.
Cri du chat syndrome was first written about by Jerôme Lejeune, a French pediatrician in 1963, so it is sometimes called Lejeune syndrome. It is caused by a bad copying of a gene, which leaves part of a chromosome called 5P-, missing. The condition affects more girls than boys; about every fifth case is a boy, the other four are girls. Children who have it have problems with the voice box. They usually have other disabilities as well; some have a learning disability or physical disability, while others have both of these.
The following symptoms are common:
The head and skull are smaller than they would normally be.
Low muscle tone, meaning that children may have problems feeding, swallowing and sucking.
Teeth can be out of place, too close together or too far apart.
Growth issues, even as adults, people with this syndrome are smaller than normal.
Very poor motor skills, causing difficulty with movement, walking, holding eating utensils.
The child's body will develop later than those of children without the condition.
Ears and face often look different.
A cognitive impairment / intellectual disability
Some of these problems mean that those who have this condition will almost certainly find life difficult. Only about half of children who have Cri du chat syndrome can eat with a spoon by the age of 3.5 years.
As this is a genetic disorder, no treatment exists. Individual symptoms can be treated separately.

894144 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutri-Score | Nutri-Score | The Nutri-Score is a rating system that shows how healthy a piece of food is. In 2017, the French government selected it over several other, similar systems. The idea is to put the label on the front of products, so that consumers can easily compare. It is based on the calculation of a nutrient profiling system derived from the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency nutrient profiling system (FSA score). It has also been recommended by Belgian, Spanish, German and Dutch authorities as well as the European Commission and the World Health Organization. It was created by Santé Publique France, the French public health agency, based on the work of Serge Hercberg from Sorbonne Paris North University.
Nutri-Score was also chosen because it is the most efficient label that tells about the nutritional quality of foods.
Calculation
A Nutri-Score for a particular food item is given in one of five classification letters: 'A' is the best, and 'E' the worst score. The calculation of the score involves seven different parameters of nutrient information per 100g of food which are usually available on food packagings.
High content of fruits and vegetables, fibers, protein and healthy oils (rapeseed, walnut and olive oils, rule added in 2019) promote a better score, while high content of energy, sugar, saturated fatty acids, and sodium promote a worse score. In addition to the general calculation rules applied to most types of food, there are special rules for cheese, for “added fats” (fats that are meant as ingredients, such as vegetable oils or butter), and for beverages.
Adoption
EU laws do not allow countries to impose their own food labelling system, therefore they can only give recommendations.
The Nutri-Score has been officially recommended by health authorities in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain and Switzerland.
In Portugal, Slovenia and Austria, some food companies such as Nestlé, Auchan or Danone announced that they would use the Nutri-Score although it was not officially recommended by the authorities.
Opposition to Nutri-Score is coming from a coalition of countries including Italy, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, and Romania. The Italian government has proposed a competing food label system. Southern EU countries say Nutri-score puts the traditional Mediterranean diet at a disadvantage.
The score is also used by Open Food Facts to allow people to compare the nutritional value of products.

894224 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/How%20Do%20I%20Live | How Do I Live | "How Do I Live" is an American country pop song. The musician and songwriter Diane Warren recorded this song. It was first performed under LeAnn Rimes when she was age 14 (almost 15). A more advanced version of "How Do I Live" by Trisha Yearwood, however, was the real Grammy and Golden Raspberry Award nominated song.
Background for the song
Both Yearwood and Rimes had their songs released on May 23, 1997. Warren first met Rimes inside a restaurant right after she (Rimes) won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Warren recorded the song when having Rimes in mind. When Rimes made her recording of the song the next day, however, Walt Disney Pictures (then called Buena vista Pictures Distribution), under which Touchstone Pictures was an operating label, decided she, then 14, was too young for singing of the song's subject matter. They also said then the recording by Rimes had too much "pop" sound. The violent plot of the movie Con Air (a 1997 action thriller) made the Touchstone Pictures skeptical to have the Rimes version in the movie. They then contacted older singer Yearwood. The latter recorded her cover of "How Do I Live". Her (Yearwood's) re-recording of the song was shown during Con Air.
The version by Yearwood had a far more country vibe and style. The Yearwood and Rimes cuts had involvements in the United States' Billboard Hot 100. Rimes' version, though, was very strong on that chart. It was there for 69 weeks, the longest at that time. The Rimes cut was tagged onto compact disc and cassette. A longer version was later put on several studio albums, one being You Light Up My Life: An Inspirational.
Chart performance
Rimes was more strong with the pop charts. Yearwood's version, however, was very strong in the country charts. The earlier's recording hit #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. The latter's version hit #23 on the same chart. For almost two months, Rimes' version of the song was #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
Awards
At the 1998 Grammy Awards, both songs were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Yearwood was given that award. She also won a 1997 Academy of Country Music Award for the Top Female Vocalist.

This frog lives in marshes and cloud forests. Scientists have found this frog in meadows full of water with no trees in them.
The adult male frog is 2.6 to 3.5 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 2.9 to 3.8 cm long. Female frogs have smooth skin on their backs, and male frogs are not smooth. This frog has disks for climbing on every toe on all four feet.
This frog is in danger of dying out because human beings change the places where it lives by cutting down trees, because humans let cows and other animals eat grass where the frog lives, because human beings build farms where the frog lives, and because of disease. Scientists think the fungal disease chytridiomycosis can kill this frog.

Stevie Wonder used the instrument for many songs, including his 1972 hit "Superstition." The clavinet is in many songs from rock, funk, and reggae music in the 1960s and 1970s.
The clavinet must be plugged into an electric amplifier to make sounds loud enough to enjoy. Most clavinets have 60 keys.

894247 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork%20jowl | Pork jowl | Pork jowl is a cut of pork from a pig's cheek. It is sometimes called jowl bacon or hog jowl in some parts of America. In the United States, it is often used in soul food,. It is used worldwide, including the cured non-smoked Italian version called guanciale.
Culinary
Jowl bacon can be fried and eaten as a main course, similar to streaky bacon. Often, jowls are as a seasoning for beans, black-eyed peas or cooked with leafy green vegetables such as collard greens or turnip greens.
Jowl meat may also be chopped and used as a garnish, similar to bacon bits, or served in sandwich form. Pork jowl can be used in pork liver sausages such as liverwurst and braunschweiger, to help the meat stick together.
Traditions in the US
In the Southern United States, there is a tradition of eating black-eyed peas and greens with either pork jowls or fatback on New Year's Day. This is to ensure prosperity in the new year. The tradition goes back hundreds of years. During the American Civil War (1861 to 1865), the peas were thought to represent wealth, while the Northern army considered the food to be fit as livestock feed only. Some people saw pigs as symbols of "wealth and gluttony" and eating jowls or fatback on New Year's Day guaranteed a good new year.
Storage
Pork jowl can be cured. This made it a traditional wintertime food as it is able to be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration.
