Years ago ‘fish in a can’ or tinned fish meant tuna and sardines. This centuries-old way to preserve and eat fish is part of daily life in Spain, Portugal and other parts of the world. Fish in a can is enhanced with a variety of spices and oils to complement their natural essence of the sea flavor.
There are several varieties of fish in a can, waiting to be opened and served at room temperature…
Sticking with this weekends Israeli Beach Themed lessons 🪼🪼
Israel's coastal waters, especially those of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a fascinating array of marine life, including the intriguing and often misunderstood jellyfish.
These gelatinous creatures, known for their ethereal beauty and sometimes painful stings, are a common sight during the warmer months.
The most frequently encountered species along Israeli shores is the Rhopilema nomadica, or nomad jellyfish, which has been making its presence felt with increasing frequency in recent years.
Jellyfish in Israel are not just a marine curiosity but also a subject of scientific study and environmental concern.
The influx of jellyfish, particularly during their blooming periods, can have significant impacts on local ecosystems and human activities.
For instance, large swarms of jellyfish can affect fishing, tourism, and even the operation of desalination plants, which are vital for Israel's water supply.
Despite the challenges they pose, jellyfish also play an essential role in marine ecosystems.
They serve as both predators and prey, helping to maintain the balance of oceanic life.
Additionally, their presence can indicate changes in marine environments, often linked to factors such as climate change, overfishing, and pollution.
For beachgoers in Israel, it's important to be aware of jellyfish during the summer months.
While their stings can be painful, they are rarely dangerous.
If you do get stung, the recommended first aid includes rinsing the area with vinegar or seawater, avoiding fresh water, and removing any tentacles with a pair of tweezers.
In recent years, Israel has taken steps to monitor and manage jellyfish populations.
Collaborative efforts between marine biologists, environmental organizations, and governmental agencies aim to better understand jellyfish behavior and mitigate their impact on human activities.
Whether you view them with awe or caution, jellyfish are an integral part of Israel's marine landscape, reminding us of the delicate balance that sustains our oceans and the ongoing need for environmental stewardship.
Day 30 of @cocajimmycola's April Icon Event: Free day/Best commissioned song for each character
I'm going to detail my personal reasonings under the cut. Note that this only goes through Samsa, so none of the fourth commissioned songs (which as of writing this are Aioi, Momoiro Key, and Kitty) were taken into account
Ichika (Ryuusei no Pulse): I'm... really not the biggest Ichika fan, and unfortunately that applies to her commissions as well. Ryuusei no Pulse took the lead largely because of the Virtual Singer version
Saki (Teratera): Teratera is her best song, no question. Close second goes to Stella though
Honami (STAGE OF SEKAI): It was really close and I almost chose Flyway, but STAGE OF SEKAI won in the end. I'm pretty sure the full version changed my life it was that beautiful
Shiho (Voices): I could have picked any of her commissions because they're all amazing. However, given Yuyoyuppe's Leia used to be my favorite Vocaloid song ever, Yuyoyuppe got the win from me. Helps that this is one of my top five songs in the game
Minori (Tenshi no Clover): This song... this event... I cried. Minori really succeeded in bringing hope back then... she still does of course, but this event just... wow
Haruka (IF): This is literally in my top five songs in the game. Also really shows Haruka has the voice of an angel. Everyone who says it's generic and boring is wrong
Airi (icedrop): If I allowed the fourth commissions, this would actually be Momoiro Key. I do not like Parasol Cider, and while DAKARA MOTTO More! Jump! More! is iconic, I just... really like icedrop
Shizuku (Metamo Re:born): It was a hard call between this and I Am, We Are. This one won out because we have the full version honestly
Kohane (One Sheep): I could have picked any of hers, and Beat Eater was almost the choice. I don't have much to say about it, it's really good
An (Awake Now): An unfortunately gets some of the weaker commissions. Forward is... okay, and while Machi is good, I really like what Yunosuke gave us
Akito (Suspended Animation): Easily top ten material for me, bordering on top five. I also just... love how it starts with Akito and Kohane together. Please give us more of that
Toya (RAD DOGS): None of his commissions have topped this one yet. Mirai is a good song held back some by my dislike of the Virtual Singer version's tuning, and Utsuro wo Aogu is... slowly growing on me a little but I'm still not a huge fan
Tsukasa (Mr. Showtime): This is one of the best songs in the game. It has perfect Tsukasa energy without being obnoxious like TONDEMO-WONDERZ is. I almost gave this to Eighty-Eight, but that's because the Virtual Singer version is absolute god-tier because of marasy's Miku tuning, and I don't like the SEKAI version as much
Emu (Niccori Survey Team's Theme): I almost went with the more unpopular opinion of Once Upon a Dream because that song is beautiful and while it's an odd choice to give Emu a lower energy song, I think it worked. However, Niccori is just iconic
Nene (Glory Steady Go): I have a confession to make. I don't think Nene has any good commissions at this point. I am not a fan of OSTER Project or kinoshita, which really knocked those commissions down for me. And the less said about Hoshizora no Melody, the better (I am so disappointed in Polypho). However, I do recognize Glory Steady Go is probably the best out of them so far, as the issue is mostly me not liking the producer's style. Don't disappoint me koyori
Rui (What Kind of Ending Do You Want?): Rui is another case where I could have picked any song of his and it would've worked. In fact, with the full versions of all of them available, it was a very close match between all three of them. I almost gave the edge to Showtime Ruler...
Kanade (Samsa): Another probable top five. Teniwoha does not disappoint, and KAITO is so good in this song
Mafuyu (Bug): I almost went with an extremely controversial pick for her in Saisei, but no, Bug is still probably the best song in the game. Let the guys sing with Niigo more please
Ena (Nomad): Now this is an interesting choice for sure since I generally prefer to go with the full versions, and this one isn't due to come out for a few more months. However, it's like the Charles cover but better and given full group balance. Can't wait for the full version
Mizuki (Lower one's eyes): If I included fourth commissioned songs, it would probably be Kitty, but it's really hard to say. They have really consistently good commissions. Yes I even think give me your night is a good commission, please listen to their solo of it
Altai nasce dalla passione e dalla ricerca di Raffaele ed Elisa Carrieri.
Nel 1997 inaugurano la prima galleria a Milano e mostrano agli occhi increduli dei milanesi, tra cui Ettore Sottsass, Maddalena De Padova e Vico Magistretti, i primi tappeti sahariani mai visti in Europa, seguiti da feltri centro asiatici e kilim curdi.
L’occhio esperto dei Carrieri riconosce con grande anticipo pezzi unici e primordiali, umili e raffinatissimi: capolavori calpestati e tramandati per millenni, gli ultimi. Trame uniche, a terra o sospese, che definiscono gli spazi e conquistano architetti, designer, collezionisti d’arte.
Altai oggi ospita venti collezioni uniche al mondo. Tessili essenziali, astratti e intrisi di umanità, di storia e di cultura. Stuoie che separano cielo e terra. Arazzi, kilim e tappeti che narrano incontri antichi di secoli, sole e feste solenni. E sono tutti qui. Solo qui.
Altai è punto di riferimento per l’arte tessile primitiva.
Frutto di un esame attento e intransigente, le collezioni Altai sono le uniche e le ultime collezioni al mondo di tappeti primitivi di origine nomadica, un’eredità umana di enorme importanza custodita, protetta e diffusa dalla passione di Raffaele ed Elisa.

Na południowym i południowo-wschodnim wybrzeżu Cypru pojawiły się meduzy. Uważajcie podczas kąpieli!
Na południowym i południowo-wschodnim wybrzeżu Cypru zaobserwowano pojawienie się meduz z gatunku Rhopilema nomadica, powszechnie znanej również jako meduza nomadyczna. Meduzy można spotkać głównie pomiędzy obszarami Larnaki i Vasilikos.
Specjaliści twierdzą, że meduzy niebawem pojawią się także…
Outro exemplo é que as pessoas nem sabem que a maior parte da cultura portuguesa é africana e asian! Por isso é que sempre fomos oprimidos pelos espanhois - me refiro a spaniards e nao a outras identidades hispanicas ... eles sao assim com os asiaticos infelizmente! E por isso é que tens todas essas artes marciais no brasil... como o caso do jiu jitsu que foi melhorado no brasil Capoeira que existe no brasil e angola bem como o romani (lingua cigana) e as lutas nomadicas (pro wrestling!). Em angola os sensei de capoeira ainda se auto-titulam de "ciganos". Pensa em nos como foi o caso do brasil ou de africa... sou portugues porque fiz parte do imperio portugues que incluia colonias como goa(na india) e macau(na china) as pessoas so nao falam sobre estas coisas porque sao muito westerncentristas! Mas o caso é o mesmo! Daí teres imenos brazilian chinese and japanese no brasil! Porque sempre tivemos essa conexão.
ALDILÀ, EX-CINEMA. Da questa fine, il cinema ricomincia nell'opera di Arnold dopo Deanimated; giunge da una serie di animazioni riciclate che chiama "cartoon works". La dialettica di Arnold sull'animazione e la cancellazione si sposta da corpi vivi a corpi disegnati, realizzando un modo di corporeità sempre al lavoro nel suo cinema: la distinzione franante tra corpi organici e meccanici, esseri viventi e marionette d'ombra. Arnold mette in mostra l'animazione dopo l'animazione, dopo la deanimazione totale in piena vista nella sua serie tratta da iconici cartoni animali: Shadow Cuts (2010), Soft Palate (2010), Self Control (2011) e Haunted House (2011). In questi film, la rimozione della fotografia, lo spazio dell'esergo che egli apre tra originale e copia è mediato da un'altra figura ibrida, l'animale animato, un essere né naturale né soprannaturale, ma sospeso tra i due. Perfino questi animali, mostri nella loro incarnazione originale, sono soggetti alle esacerbazioni del movimento frequenti nel lavoro di Arnold, così come alle escissioni del movimento che Lyotard descrive nel suo "Acinema". Attingendo da animali dei cartoni animati, disegnando e incrociando queste figure mostruose, Arnold crea una nuova generazione di animazione che non traccia più il movimento da fermo all'immagine in movimento, ma piuttosto uno che crea movimento su movimento in un vuoto, un movimento che non trasuda più vitalità ma invece un'immobilità profonda. È l'ultimo paradosso che emerge sulla scia del cinema, di Arnold e di tutti gli altri cinema, un'animazione morbosa che incornicia la fine del cinema con i suoi inizi e si apre su una perpetua vita ultraterrena che si potrebbe chiamare ex-cinema. Da e non più cinema, tutto si muove nel fuori. E alla fine del cinema, inizia il fuori.
