Asín tibuok Asín tibuok is a rare Filipino artisanal sea salt from the Boholano people made from filtering seawater through ashes. A variant of the salt is also known as túltul or dúkdok among the Ilonggo people. It is made similarly to "asín tibuok" but is boiled with "gata" (coconut milk). Both of them are part of the unique traditional methods of producing sea salt for culinary use among the Visayan people of the central Philippine islands. They differ in taste from salt obtained through traditional drying beds or modern methods. "Asín tibuok" has a sharp taste with smoky and
Asín tibuok
21,014,950
fruity undertones, while "túltul" has an innate savory flabor. They are characteristically finely textured with small granules. They are consumed by grating a light dusting over food. The tradition of making "asín tibuok" and "túltul" is nearly extinct due to the difficulty and length of time it takes to manufacture them, the passing of the salt iodization (ASIN) law in 1995, as well as competition with modern imported salts. They are only barely preserved in Bohol, Capiz, and Guimaras. "Asín tibuok" is listed in the Ark of Taste international catalogue of endangered heritage foods by the Slow Food organization. "Asín

tibuok" literally means "unbroken salt" or "whole salt" in the Cebuano language of the Boholano people. It is the name of the salt in the island of Bohol. Similar salt-making traditions also exist in Guimaras island and the neighboring province of Capiz in Panay Island. In Guimaras, it is known as "túltul" or "tul-tul", meaning "lump"; while in Capiz, it is known as "dúkdok", meaning "pounded" or "pulverized". Both names are in the Hiligaynon language of the Ilonggo people. The method of production varies slightly between the Boholano "asín tibuok" and the Ilonggo "túltul" or "dúkdok". Both methods can only
Asín tibuok
21,014,952
be done for six months of the year, from December to May, due to the fluctuations in seawater salinity during the rainy seasons. Boholano "asín tibuok" is made by soaking coconut husks for several months in special pits continually filled with seawater during the tides. They are then cut into small pieces and dried for a few days. They are burned in a pile until reduced completely to ash. This takes about a week. The ash (called "gasang") are gathered into a funnel-shaped bamboo filtering device. Seawater is poured into the ash, allowing the water to leach out the salt
Asín tibuok
21,014,953
from the ashes. The brine (known as "tasik") is collected into a hollowed out coconut trunk beneath the funnels. The "tasik" is poured into special clay pots and hung in walls in a special furnace. These are boiled for a few hours in the furnace, continually replenishing the pots with more "tasik" once some evaporate. Eventually, the pots will crack, revealing the solidified mass of salt. The salt mass will be initially very hot, and it usually takes a few hours before it is cool enough to be handled. They are sold along with the broken domed pots which has

21,014,954
given them the nickname "the dinosaur egg" in international markets due to their appearance. Ilonggo "túltul" or "dúkdok" is made by gathering driftwood ("rorok" or "dagsa") and other washed-up plant matter (twigs, reeds, coconut husks, bamboo stems, etc.) from the beach. These are burned completely into ash for about a week. The ash are then gathered into cylindrical woven bamboo containers known as "kaing". The "kaing" are placed on bamboo platforms and a container is placed underneath. Seawater is poured through the ash and caught on these containers. The brine are then strained and transferred into other containers where it
Asín tibuok
21,014,955
is mixed with "gata" (coconut milk). These are poured into molds ("hurnohan") and boiled over an outdoor stove ("kalan"). More of the liquid is continually poured into the molds as they evaporate until nothing but a solid mass of salt remains. These brick-like lumps (known as "bareta") are then packaged and sold. "Asín tibuok" and "túltul" are usually consumed by grating a light dusting of them over food. They were traditionally dusted over plain hot rice with a few drops of oil and eaten as is. They are also used to season "sinangag" (traditional fried rice). Chunks can also be

21,014,956
broken off and dipped into stews and dishes or ground and used like regular table salt. Salt-makers ("asinderos") were once important professions in Philippine society, but the craft is nearly extinct in modern times. Part of this is due to the time-consuming traditional methods of producing salt and the hard work that go with it. Artisanal salt-makers can not compete with the cheap imported salt prevalent today in the Philippines. The passage of Republic Act No. 8172, the Act for Salt Iodization Nationwide (ASIN), in 1995 also placed further stress on local salt-makers, forcing many to give up the industry
Asín tibuok
21,014,957
altogether. Both "asín tibuok" and "túltul" are only made by a few families today. They are commonly sold for the tourist trade for their novelty as well as to gourmet restaurants that feature Filipino cuisine. Due to their rarity, they are considerably more expensive than regular salt. The demand is usually high for "asín tibuok" and "túltul", but the supply can not keep up.

He was a boxing champion, ferry captain and the owner of a chophouse in Holborn in London. A bust of Gregson is located in the Royal Academy. Born as Robert Gregson in Heskin in Lancashire in 1778 he was a relatively well-educated and cultured man who dressed well and wrote poetry, earning himself the sobriquet "The Poet of the Prize Ring". Gregson became known as "The Lancashire Giant" on account of being 15 stones in weight and standing at

Sir Thomas Lawrence, principal painter to George IV selected him as the subject for a life-study; and he was chosen by the professor of anatomy at the Royal Academy to illustrate the beauties of anatomical proportion. He was an acquaintance of Lord Byron who helped to raise the funds to get Gregson released from debtors' prison in 1808. On 12 July 1807 Gregson was presented for the first time in an exhibition bout against Isaac Bitton at the Fives Court, St Martin's Street in Leicester Square in which Gregson gave a good account of himself.

On 14 October 1807 Gregson was defeated by John Gully in a fight at Six Mile Bottom near Cambridge in 36 rounds when Gully was declared the winner after a fight in which both pugilists were badly beaten and which left many onlookers uncertain as to who had really won. The two clashed again on 10 May 1808 when Gully once more successfully defended his English title by defeating Gregson in 24 rounds near Woburn in a contest which lasted for an hour and a quarter.

Dermophis donaldtrumpi Dermophis donaldtrumpi is a proposed new species of caecilian, to be named after Donald Trump. It was originally discovered in Panama; it has yet to be confirmed as a new species, nor has the name yet been formally published. "D. donaldtrumpi" is about 10 cm (4 in) long, blind, shiny, slimy, looks like a large worm, slippery and burrows, living almost entirely underground. Its eyes can detect light and dark only, so it uses a pair of tentacles near its mouth in order to find prey; it also has an extra layer of skin which their young can

eat after peeling it off. According to the Rainforest Trust, amphibians such as "Dermophis donaldtrumpi" are particularly susceptible to the effects of global warming and are therefore in danger of becoming extinct. In December 2018, the Rainforest Trust completed an auction of naming rights for twelve newly discovered species of South American plants and animals, the money going towards the conservation of the species' habitats. The sustainable building materials company EnviroBuild paid $25,000 for the right to name the new amphibian. Aidan Bell, owner of EnviroBuild, said he named the species after Trump to raise awareness of Trump's policies on

climate change and the danger those policies pose to the survival of many species. Bell said "It is the perfect name. Caecilian is taken from the Latin "caecus", meaning 'blind', perfectly mirroring the strategic vision President Trump has consistently shown towards climate change." Bell also asserted a parallel between the species' ability to see only light and dark, and Trump's being "Capable of seeing the world only in black and white." According to the "Washington Post", "The naming choice highlights the president’s dismal approval ratings worldwide and is clearly designed to belittle him."

Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia Agriculture was the main economic activity in ancient Mesopotamia. Operating under harsh constraints, notably the arid climate and the poor soil, the Mesopotamian farmers developed effective strategies that enabled them to support the development of the first states, the first cities, and then the first known empires, under the supervision of the institutions which dominated the economy: the royal and provincial palaces, the temples, and the domains of the elites. They focussed above all on the cultivation of cereals (particularly barley) and sheep farming, but also farmed legumes, as well as date palms in the south
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,002
and grapes in the north. In reality there were two types of Mesopotamian agriculture, corresponding to the two main ecological domains, which largely overlapped with cultural distinctions. The agriculture of southern or Lower Mesopotamia, the land of Sumer and Akkad, which later became Babylonia received almost no rain and required large scale irrigation works which were supervised by temple estates, but could produce high returns. The agriculture of Northern or Upper Mesopotamia, the land that would eventually become Assyria, had enough rainfall to allow dry agriculture most of the time, so that irrigation and large institutional estates were less important,
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,003
but the returns were also usually lower. In the absence of excavations of rural contexts, our knowledge of the agriculture of ancient Mesopotamia is mostly based on ancient texts, notably documents concerning the sale of fields, rental contracts, loans for agricultural purposes, and the administrative documents from the archives of the palaces and temples of Mesopotamian cities. The economic organisation of these activities is thus very well documented, while actual agricultural practice is less well known and there is still much uncertainty. The land of Mesopotamia is not very favourable to the development of agriculture, especially the southern half, which
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,004
is very arid and has poor soil quality. But the man-made infrastructure took advantage of some of the potential of this space (large rivers and broad, flat plains) to counter these issues and make lower Mesopotamia one of the most productive agricultural areas in the ancient world. In the north, the uncertainties of production were greater, as a result of the fluctuation of the climate year by year. There were, as a result, many systems of agricultural land, reflecting the diversity of ancient Mesopotamian agriculture. The natural context of ancient Mesopotamia was little different from modern conditions in this region,
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,005
although some changes have occurred over the intervening millennia (changing course of the river, retreat of the sea shore, deforestation). It is clear that, in addition to having developed one of the most prosperous agricultural systems of the ancient world, the societies of ancient Mesopotamia had had to do so under harsh constraints: rivers whose patterns had little relation to the growth cycle of domesticated cereals; a hot, dry climate with brutal interannual variations; generally thin and saline soil. "A priori", the conditions in the north were more favourable than in the south, because the soil was more fertile and
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,006
the rainfall was hig enough for agriculture without irrigation. But the scale of the rivers in the south and the flat plains which made it easy to cut irrigation channels and put large areas under cultivation gave undeniable advantages to the development of productive irrigated farms - at the cost of constant labour. The two main watercourses of Mesopotamia, which give the region its name, are the Euphrates and the Tigris, which flow from Anatolia to the Persian Gulf. The Euphrates is around 2,800 km long and the Tigris is about 1,900 km. Their regime is of the pluvio-nival type,
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,007
with high flow in spring as a result of melting snow and when rains fall in Upper Mesopotamia. This is more accentuated with the Tigris, which receives several tributaries from the Zagros during the second part of its course, while the Euphrates has only a minor tributaries in Upper Mesopotamia. Thus its output is weaker, especially since it crosses flatter areas and has a wide bend in Syria which slows its flow. Floods of the rivers thus take place in spring - in April for the Tigris and in May for the Euphrates (shortly after or during the harvest). Their
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,008
baseflow occurs in summer at the time of greatest heat, when evapotranspiration is very high, especially in the south. The variability of flow rate over the year is very great - up to 4:1. The discharge of the Euphrates and its floods were weaker than those of the Tigris, so it was on particularly on its banks that agricultural communities of southern Mesopotamia focused. In this region, the ground is very flat, leading to bifurcation, which results in islands and marshes, as well as sudden changes of course, which occurred several times in antiquity. Both rivers carry silt which raised
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,009
them above the level of the surrounding plain, making it easy to irrigate the land surrounding them. However, it also meant that their floods had the potential to cause serious damage and could cover a vast area. The flatness of the region also meant that the phreatic zone and the stream bed were very close, causing them to rise in periods of flooding. In modern times, the Tigris and Euphrates join together to form the Shatt al-Arab which then debouches in the Persian Gulf, but in antiquity, their delta did not reach so far south, because it was created slowly
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,010
by the deposition of alluvium. Other watercourses in Mesopotamia are the rivers that flow into the Tigris and Euphrates. The tributaries of the former originate in the Zagros; from north to south they are the Great Zab, the Little Zab, and Diyala. Their courses have a rapid flow, on account of the steep relief and the gorges through which they flow, as well as the snow melt in spring which leads to large floods in April/May. They carry a large amount of the alluvium which ends up in the Tigris. The Euphrates has two tributaries which meet it in southern
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,011
Jazirah: the Balikh and the Khabur. Both have weak flow (especially the former which is nearly dry in summer) and are themselves fed variably by several wadis. The terrain of Mesopotamia is mostly flat, consisting of floodplains and plateaus. It is bordered by high mountains on the eastern side - the Zagros range, which is pierced by deep valleys and canyons with a northwest-southeast orientation (Great Zab, Little Zab, Diyala) - and by smaller mountains and volcanoes in Upper Mesopotamia (Kawkab, Tur Abdin, Jebel Abd-el-Aziz, Sinjar, Mount Kirkuk). Essentially, Upper Mesopotamia consists of plateaus which are slightly inclined to the
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,012
east, rising from 200-500 m in altitude, and which are now known as Jazirah (from the Arabic, "al-jazayra", 'the island'). Thus, the rivers flow through valleys which are 1-10 km wide. The southern half of Mesopotamia, which is the part properly called Mesopotamia from a geophysical point of view, since it is where the Tigris and Euphrates flow close to one another, is a vast plain, which is 150-200 km wide and has only a very slight incline, decreasing to the south until it is nearly non-existent. This encourages the development of river braiding, sudden changes of course, and the
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,013
establishment of marshy areas.. The climate of Mesopotamia is characterised by very sunny, hot, dry summers, during which evapotranspiration is very high, and by relatively cold winters, with short intermediate seasons between them. Precipitation is generally weak: on average the dry season last six months each year in the north and nine months or more in the south. The north is mostly a semi-arid zone, receiving at least 200-400 mm of rain per year, while the south is truly arid and receives less than 200 mm of annual rainfall. However, these averages mask interannual variation in temperature and especially rainfall
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,014
which can be very significant. As far as agriculture is concerned, it is generally estimated that an average of 200 mm of annual rainfall is required for a dry agriculture regime in which rainfall alone suffices to ensure the growth of plants - at least those resistant to aridity like barley. This is the case in the Upper Jazirah in an average year and in the Lower Jazirah in a good year, but in fact there is a great deal of local variation which creates water scarcity in these regions. In those years in which spring and autumn are very
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,015
short, the life cycle of the plants is too slow to assure good crops. In the more arid areas of Lower Jazirah and Lower Mesopotamia, precipitation is below 200 mm and often only occurs in the form of sudden storms or showers. There the life cycle of the plants is very limited in a natural state and the support of irrigation is necessary to ensure agricultural yields. On the other hand, it is in southern Mesopotamia that date palms can be cultivated, which flourish in hot climates and saline soil. The soil in Mesopotamia is mostly of the sort that
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,016
is normal in arid climates: a shallow layer on top of the bedrock which is not very fertile. They are generally composed of limestone or gypsum with nutritive elements which enable plant growth, but have only a narrow layer in which the roots can grow. Deeper soil is found in the valleys and culverts of Upper Jazirah. In the more arid areas of Lower Jazirah and Lower Mesopotamia by contrast, the soil is generally sparse and very shallow (solonchak and fluvisol types) and mostly composed of gypsum. They degrade easily and irrigation accelerates both their erosion and their salinisation. However,
Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia
21,015,017
the poverty and fragility of the soils of Southern Mesopotamia are largely compensated for by sheer area of flat land available for irrigation. In the north by contrast, there is better soil, but less land and there is more risk arising from the variation in precipitation.

polymers, which allows control of the quantum dot toxicity. As a model for tissue localisation following intradermal infiltration, Colvin studied how quantum dots migrate in mice. She found that 1D quantum dots remain as a deposit on the skin and penetrate the nearby subcutis and were distributed to draining lymph nodes. She bound quantum dots to gold nanoparticles with a peptide sequence, which suppresses luminescence; allowing the combination to be used as probes for targeted degradation. She investigated how the shape of quantum dots impacted their function and toxicity. She demonstrated that weathering quantum dots in acidic and alkaline conditions

NGC 4939 NGC 4939 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is located at a distance of circa 120 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 4939 is about 190,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel οn March 25, 1786. NGC 4939 has been characterised as a Seyfert galaxy, a galaxy category which features bright point-like nuclei. NGC 4939 is a type II Seyfert galaxy. Its X ray spectrum is more consistent with a Compton-thick cold reflection source, which means that the source is hidden behind dense material,

mainly gas and dust, and the X-ray observed have been reflected, but a Compton-thin transmission model could not be ruled out. The equivalent width of the FeKα line is large, indicating too that it is a Compton-thick source. Further observations by Swift Observatory confirmed its Compton-thick nature. The source of activity in the active galactic nuclei is a supermassive black hole (SMBH) lying at the centre of the galaxy. The SMBH at the centre of NGC 4939 is accreting material with a rate of 0.077 per year. The black hole has been detected in hard X-rays, which are not absorbed
