MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman was rushed to the hospital after being found in a grassy area in the Cherokee area.
WREG was on the scene when the woman was taken away from the area of Barron and Parkland in an ambulance. She was rushed to the Regional Medical Center for treatment, but the extent of her injuries have not been released.
Police said they were called to the area around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday after shots were fired.
Police blocked off Barron Avenue so they could search for any evidence. At this time we don't know what caused this shooting.

Tina YAO
Annie JIANG
Co-Founders of
Women in Commerce and Politics
In celebration of International Women's Day, WCP is excited to announce that we are officially launching our new Woman of the Week series!
For our very first Woman of the Week (or more accurately, Women of the Week), we are excited and extremely proud to present our interviewees – Tina (Jiayi) Yao and Annie Jiang!
Tina and Annie are both co-founders of Women in Commerce and Politics, currently President and Vice President of Politics, respectively. They each completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne, and are now both undertaking the Juris Doctor.
Having always been more of an "arts person", Tina majored in sociology and politics in her undergraduate degree. She is a self-proclaimed nerd, and passionate about stationery, bookshops, and exploring different libraries.
Annie took a slightly different path in her undergraduate degree, majoring in international relations and French. She completed a human rights internship with the Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, during which she gave a speech as an Australian representative! In her spare time, Annie may be found listening to music or watching episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine on repeat.
The MeToo movement has been monumental in sparking conversation around sexual harassment in the workplace, however we've also seen some adverse consequences. U.S Vice President Mike Pence said he doesn't dine with women alone, and as reported by Bloomberg, it's a sentiment that echoes among many senior male executives. Then we have women smashing through the glass ceiling, but faced with the glass cliff. It's almost as if for every step forward, we take two backwards. Do you agree? Or would you say this is a rather pessimistic view?
Tina:
I agree that sometimes as we try to achieve gender equality, it is as if for every step forward, we take two backwards, especially when it comes to these "pioneer" figures. But that doesn't mean we should stop pursuing gender equality. For me, the fact that some male professionals in various industries have been trying to avoid travelling or dining alone with female colleagues is used as a counterargument against the #MeToo movement is very problematic. Maybe it is worth asking 'why are there almost no reports saying female leaders are afraid of dining with their employees or subordinates'? First of all, because there aren't that many female leaders. Secondly, the power dynamic between the two genders is so imbalanced that victims of sexual harassment are disproportionately women. Lastly, this argument erases the LGBTI community, as it is not always women who suffer from sexual harassment. All of this tell us that the power structure is problematic. Simply being silent will just perpetrate the current situation.
Australia was ranked 39th in the 2018 Global Gender Gap Report, that's four spots lower than 2017. In fact, we've been dropping lower down the list every year, except one! Where do you think Australia is going wrong, or more so where are other counties getting it right, particularly when we look at our neighbour New Zealand managing to jump up to 7th place?
Annie:
I think that those in power in Australia don't always have the will to make the necessary changes – and this goes for politicians as well as corporate executives. I sometimes feel like there's a sense of complacence with the status quo, a sort of political inertia, perhaps, and that needs to be eradicated. It's not just women who lose out due to this complacence – Australia needs to own up to its colonial history, to its inhumane treatment of asylum seekers, and more. I think we're taking steps in the right direction, and I'm pleased with some of the action by the Andrews Government in that vein, but we need to be doing more.
I also think we need more young people (like us!) at the table: we're more politically aware than ever before, and our beliefs are valid and important. Young Australians have been showing great leadership in social justice, and recent events like the Strike 4 Climate Action have demonstrated to me that we are very conscious of what's important right now, and I think that's awesome.
What encouraged you to start Women in Commerce and Politics?
I co-founded WCP with 7 other amazing female students at Melbourne Uni. We came from diverse academic backgrounds, some of us did politics, some of us did commerce, and others studied other majors. However, what we had in common is that we were aware of the underrepresentation of women in those fields. Unlike in science and technology, there is no student group at Melbourne Uni that specifically focuses on the issue of gender inequality in politics or in commerce. And these two areas are nevertheless very important because they affect the functioning of the society on a daily basis. We hoped that by creating WCP we could help female students who want to work in those fields be prepared — so when they start their careers, they already have insight into the industry, they have networks, they're skilled and most importantly, confident.
I wasn't actually part of the group of women that came up with the idea for WCP, but a friend encouraged me to join as a founding member. I've never regretted it – although we've made great strides, we still have far to go in terms of increasing the number of women in executive or managerial positions in both commerce and politics. I'm glad to be in a position to make a difference, however small.
Is there any female role model that inspires you?
My number one role model will always be my sister – she sets the bar pretty high! She's one of the smartest people I know, and she's incredibly hard-working and driven. She's an amazing teacher, and also a pretty great cook! She actually inspired me to study politics and IR in the first place, and then law as well.
You're both completing the Juris Doctor – how have you found the experience thus far? One piece of advice you would give to undergraduates aspiring to study the JD?
Doing the JD is very challenging for sure but it is also lots of fun. It's very different from what I've been doing for the past three years. Although I've only completed one intensive subject, I can already tell that it requires a different approach and mindset. A good thing about law school is that you meet so many talented people coming from different backgrounds. I had classmates who did screen writing, psychology, commerce and science. In class discussions, this kind of diversity really broadens my knowledge and also exposes quite unconventional ways to approach things for me. And it just encourages me to think outside the box. My advice to undergraduates who want to do the JD in the future is actually to focus on what you're doing at the moment. Try to get as much out of your current degree as much as you can. All the knowledge you bring from previous study will be invaluable for your study in law. And always be critical and creative.
It's been great so far! And 'so far' I mean 'for the last two weeks', so… But no, I'm really enjoying it and am super excited for the year ahead. I'd definitely recommend the Unimelb JD to anyone interested in the law. In terms of advice, I'd say just go for it! If you haven't quite made up your mind, I'd recommend trying a couple of the law breadth subjects Unimelb offers, or doing some reading on your own. If you can gain a grasp of what studying the law might be like, then it'll be easier to decide if it's the right path for you.

Finance: These members are tasked with evaluating every big-ticket purchase with a granularity and rigor that ensures the final decision is beneficial not only to patient care, but to the hospital's bottom line. Finance—typically a business administrator embedded within a specific service line—must balance each department's strategic needs with the revenue goals and cost-savings targets required to achieve and maintain profitability.
Physician Advocates: Physician representatives of the clinical service line most affected by a capital expenditure carry significant influence in the evaluation of suppliers, equipment comparison, and the ultimate decision: to buy or not to buy? In part, because they wield such clout, this group can also find itself advocating for preferred technologies or suppliers before all the evidence has been considered.
Revenue Cycle Management: Of utmost concern to the revenue cycle is how and whether—and how much—CMS and private payers will reimburse caregivers for any procedure involving the technology being considered. Will providers encounter problems with pre-authorization or denied claims, and if so, for what specific applications or patient populations?
Value Analysis: In addition to service line representatives, it's best to involve applicable value analysis professionals sooner rather than later to maximize collaboration and value throughout the facility. In close coordination with bioengineering, they'll conduct research on the health technology under consideration, the suppliers and the intricacies of their service level agreements, and any consumables or med/surg devices required to support the ongoing use of the equipment. What resources will be needed to update, repair, and maintain this technology? These professionals perform systematic reviews of the clinical evidence, communicating the quality and direction of research findings. Comparative effectiveness appraisals are a key component of this process.
Purchasing: Once a supplier and technology have been chosen, supply chain will be responsible for negotiating the terms of the deal: sale price, service contracts, plus any software or consumables required for successful operation. Additionally, is there any meaningful value in the inventory being replaced? And if so, what's the best way to maximize it?
Only after this is answered should the broader capital planning team's focus pivot to a specific technology or supplier.
Now is when clinical evidence becomes critical to the success of the pending decision-making process—with implications for both patient care and the future viability of the hospital's mission.

Alexandria, Virginia November 8, 2010 – Today Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan will present the HealthierUS School Challenge Gold Award to Cora Kelly School in Alexandria, Virginia. A dynamic multicultural elementary school, Cora Kelly boasts a student population that is 46% Hispanic, and serves as a magnet school for programs in math, science and technology.
USDA's HealthierUS School Challenge is a voluntary school nutrition and wellness initiative for schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program. To be recognized, schools must meet criteria for nutrition, nutrition education, and physical activity established by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, which, in turn, recognizes them with Gold of Distinction, Gold, Silver, or Bronze status.
Improving USDA's child nutrition programs on behalf of 32 million kids across the nation is a top priority of the Obama Administration. The HUSSC is also a key component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign to end childhood obesity within a generation.


Positively Adopted - What is every day life like?
What is every day life like with a child who has HIV?
Life with a child who has HIV is pretty much the same as life with any other child.
People sometimes wonder if it can really be this simple. Yes, it can! A child with HIV can do anything that any other child can do! They can laugh and play, dance and sing, be loud and crazy or quiet and thoughtful, go to school, camp, church, daycare... just like any other child.
Most parents find that it doesn't take very long before they actually start to forget that their child has an 'issue' at all! Their kids are laughing and playing, singing, dancing and LIVING LIFE like any other child and their HIV status is a very small part of their lives.
What are the differences between parenting a child with HIV vs. without?

Gorenje partners with energy saving trust – the stats explained
We are proud to partner with the Energy Saving Trust; they do great work in highlighting the energy-efficiency of home appliances. Not only that, but they are able to relay the savings available into meaningful terms when advising consumers, companies and the government.
We put together this fun infographic to illustrate the savings available to those who upgrade to Gorenje kitchen appliances, as found by the Energy Saving Trust.
But how did the Energy Saving Trust figure out these stats? How does one go about working out that upgrading a dishwasher from an A+ energy model to the Gorenje A++ GS62215WUK would save a consumer enough money to buy 72 dishwasher tablets? – taking care of washing up after roast dinners for an entire year.
Well, for this particular example, the figures are based on the EU Energy Label consumption. It takes the average electricity price of 13.86 pence per kilowatt hour and compares the costs of running an A+ energy model and Gorenje's A++ energy model. The savings made are £25, which is more than enough to purchase 72 dishwasher tablets
We've listed further explanations to each of the Energy Saving Trust's findings below so you can see exactly how the figures were calculated. We hope the findings help you re-shape how you look at energy usage in the house like it has here at Gorenje.

In the summer of 2012, the Macklemore/Ryan Lewis song 'Same Love' got me through some pretty bad homesickness. I had just come out of the closet a few months before and was doing an internship thousands of miles from my friends and family. It was really Mary Lambert's chorus that kept me coming back to the song and when she eventually turned that chorus into its own song, I listened to it on repeat for ages.
Cox just recently released this single and it keeps getting stuck in my head! In an interview with OUT, Cox talks about how she isn't planning on releasing a full album or making her way into music full time. But instead, she wanted to make something that celebrated queer culture and the LGBTQ drag culture.
Princess Weekes recently described Monáe's latest single (and music video) as "the perfect bisexual anthem we've been waiting for" [article]. Honestly, I couldn't agree more! Plus, the music video reminds me a bit of the Black Mirror episode, San Junipero.
This is the full length song based on the chorus from 'Same Love' and it always makes me so happy to listen to! And the music video is every kind of adorable.
A few months ago, Sam Smith came out with his second album but it wasn't until recently that I heard one of its songs. When you listen to the lyrics, HIM is about struggling with the feeling that there's no place in faith and religion because of his sexuality.
I don't think I could do a list about LGBTQ songs without including one from Tegan and Sara. Sara revealed in an interview that the song was inspired by a relationship in which the other girl had never been in a relationship with another girl and Sara did want to define the relationship in a sense.
Honestly, there are so many other songs out there that are amazing queer anthems in their own right but these are just some of the amazing songs out there. If you have any favorites, let me know! I always love finding new LGBTQ+ music.


Promotion code is a much commendable arrangement of cash to make an advertising device of extraordinary incentive in the online business store world. It underwrites deduction from the estimation of the items and creates traffic with the assistance this little such markdown about acquiring a few items or administrations and that's only the tip of the iceberg. On each electronic pursuit, we find around 10 million free or limited promotion code related questions either to get or produce one. It is the whole distance picking up benefit to draw in hanging in the balance clients who contribute a greater amount of the season of them on the Internet. How amazing it will be the point at which you get a promotion code that incorporates one of the greatest components to get limits while shopping on the web. What's more, numerous clients don't know the genuine truth behind the quality of promotion codes – they may improve page traffic too when installed on the site code.
As indicated by an investigation by certain specialists moderately the SEO examiners of Rocky Row, they had discovered that there are more than 1 billion month to month chases on the Internet for coupon-related questions, we state promotion codes. Consequently, it is an incredible viewpoint to get stunned an immense check of individuals towards a site.
Promotion codes can't be considered as a procedure to get enormous hand of assets in deals; it is about how we drive the outlook of clients to approach the sorts of showcasing goals in picking up another kind of pursuit traffic, or all the more ceaselessly get a promotion code on the Internet. It is compulsory to reserve the limited time catchphrases in the structure interactive content to improving the intuitive substance simultaneously. Promotion code, markdown, deal, coupon and so on are a few messages that we could use to draw in clients another kind of inquiry traffic.
Without cost shipping — the significant skip that empowers individuals from shopping on the web is the waiver off or free transporting. In the greater part of the nations, there is a charge for transportation when you enlist for an administration or item and clients' brains get veered off when they see evaluated dispatching. By surrendering this and including the equivalent in the charges would course the mentality of clients that there won't be any transportation expenses.
Percentile markdown — an exceptional rate or some underneath it must be offered for an item for a get moving the promotion code super season deal.
Free giveaways — giving over unconditional presents with item buys is an extraordinary quintessential thought for purging the stock close by referencing the constrained time offers.
The promotion codes advancement over the Internet is another route to the method of reasoning to catch specialty gatherings of people. Regardless of how degree a task goes… one have to practice exceptional stratagems to extend the message about the results it is committed to!

Q: How to implements @HostListener with event mouseenter in input on Angular 10? I'm trying to implement @HostListener in my project Angular 10, but it doesn't work.
Follow my code below:
home.ts
import {
  HostListener,
  Directive
} from '@angular/core';

export class EnumComponent {

@Directive({ selector: 'input[ListManual]'})

@HostListener('mouseenter', ['$event.target']) onClick() {
    console.log("hereeee")
    //this.newTypeButtonClick();
  }

}

home.html
<ng-template pTemplate="body" let-data>

        <input
             ...
          ListManual
        />

        <input
             ...
          ListManual
        />

        <input
             ...
          ListManual
        />

</ng-template>

I want it does work when I click on input and show me log.
Any help will be appreciated.

A: Can we assume you have registered the directive in a module and you've verified it's being interpolated?  Maybe place a console statement in the constructor of your directive?

A: Your syntax is off. Try the following:
import { HostListener, Directive } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({ selector: 'input[ListManual]'})
export class EnumComponent {

  @HostListener('mouseenter', ['$event'])
  onClick(ev: MouseEvent) {
    console.log("hereeee")
    //this.newTypeButtonClick();
  }

ID Quantique
The world leader in Quantum-Safe Security & Quantum Sensing
Home | A Major Step in Standardization of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG)
A Major Step in Standardization of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG)
Earlier this month, the draft recommendation "Quantum noise random number generator architecture" was consented as an international standard during ITU-T1 meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. ID Quantique was one the main actors of this success.
Today's cryptography relies on sequences of random numbers. Pseudo random number generators currently in use seem to provide random bit sequences, but actually these bit sequences have certain patterns, so there is a risk of being hacked. The integration of physical entropy sources in random number generators is the most common method to overcome this security threat. However, classical physics is causal, hence the unpredictability of a bit sequence generated with classical physics cannot be proven. Quantum physics, on the other hand, is random by essence. Numbers generated by a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) cannot be predicted – QRNG is provably unpredictable. So if a quantum random number generator is used in a security system, even a fast supercomputer with a fast arithmetic operation cannot predict the random bit sequences used by this security system.
The newly consented draft recommendation, which is expected to be approved within 2019, deals with a common architecture for quantum entropy sources. This common architecture will allow suppliers and users to make a clear and simple distinction between QRNGs and other physical random number generators called True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). This first standardized quantum technology is already being used for ciphering in various security areas. In particular, the security of IoT, autonomous cars and smart cities based on 5G network will be strengthened.
"The QRNG standard will give the ICT industry a random number generator with proven unpredictability. Success for this standard would be its adoption by most or all QRNG vendors as well as some national security agencies." says Grégoire Ribordy, CEO of ID Quantique.
The consented recommendation was created by ID Quantique and SK Telecom at ITU-T in September 2018. At that time, it was the first quantum technology related draft recommendation created at ITU-T. One year later, this recommendation is the first quantum technology recommendation to be consented. This achievement is the result of the collaborative work between ID Quantique and other ITU-T members from several countries including Korea, China, Japan, the US and the UK.
This fast progress at ITU-T would not have been possible without the preparatory work led by ID Quantique and the Quantum Alliance Initiative at a two-day workshop held at the Hudson Institute in December 2018. One of the results of this workshop was the review and agreement by a consortium of 18 companies and entities from eight countries of a voluntary industry standard for QRNGs. This agreed industry standard served as primary input to the draft recommendation on QRNGs at ITU-T.
"This is a big advance for quantum information technology" says Dr. Arthur Herman, Director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative, "The goal of this standard is not to preclude or compete with standards being completed by other standards bodies, like ETSI or IEEE, but to complement those standards with a foundational version that current users can adopt while waiting for future standards development."
ID Quantique's partner SK Telecom has already integrated IDQ's QRNG in its 5G and LTE subscriber authentication servers in the first half of this year. SK Telecom has also increased security for 5G and LTE data transmission by applying IDQ's quantum key distribution (QKD) technology to the Seoul-Daejeon section which is a key transport section of data traffic across the country. The two companies are now carrying out standardization tasks related to quantum key distribution in cooperation with other countries and organizations.
1It means the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Division, the organization under the ITU, the world's largest telecommunications international organization, which establishes standards for the information and communication field.

Scenario: A senior manager requests a short briefing on virtual management software. Among other benefits, software of this type can facilitate organizational communications. Applying a search engine of choice, input "virtual management software" as the search term. Identify two products that specialize in the facilitation of managerial communication. Evaluate each product and the seller's case for using the software; that is: Are the product's characteristics and advantages articulated clearly? How would you rate the quality of the presentation? How easy is it to retrieve information from the website? Generate a short briefing (between 100 and 200 words) contrasting and comparing the software products. Prepare this briefing in a professional paragraph style (no bullet lists or sentence fragments), and include the URLs relative to the products so that the manager (and your mentor and classmates) may independently view the sites. Your posting must be objective and written in the third person because the briefing's intent is merely to identify and describe products and presentations; no recommendations are desired. Prior to posting, ensure that your entry is an analysis and not simply a summary of findings.
Please note that if an assignment directs you to use research resources, you are expected to demonstrate that you have conducted research beyond your text. (In addition, you are expected to properly cite this research as part of the assignment.) An assignment that is well written but fails to indicate that you have done outside research is incomplete.
Carefully proofread your document and make any revisions to grammar, content, and style. With the exception of correspondence, professional reporting is prepared objectively in the third person to limit any possible author bias. Eliminate any vague pronouns from the composition (i.e., pronouns that lack concrete antecedents). Check tense, since most reports are written in the literary present to provide a sense of timeliness for the reader. Past tense is best saved for historical reporting, and future tense is appropriate when a report's subject centers on a prediction.
Ensure that any ideas that are not your original work (ideas you have taken from the work of others) are correctly referenced using APA citation format for both in-text and bibliographic entries.
Evaluate the document to affirm that the topic of the submission directly relates to the subject of the course (i.e., managerial communications).

El pont de les Masuques o Massuques és un pont de Castellet i la Gornal (Alt Penedès) protegit com a bé cultural d'interès local.

Descripció
És un pont d'un arc, molt baix i estret, sobre un torrent (d'Estadella) a pocs minuts, per un camí carreter, de l'església de Sant Esteve de les Massuques. Sobre el torrent d'Estadella, afluent per la dreta del riu Foix.

Història
Segons un article publicat a la Revista de Vic el 1980 titulat "Els Vells Pont d'Osona": "A Catalunya no es conserva cap pont romà sencer. (...) Hi ha traces d'època romana en molts ponts de Catalunya (...) i quelcom hi té el de les Massuques a Castellet de Garraf" (A. Pladevall).

As Egypt moves ever closer to life without Hosni Mubarak, governments and analysts everywhere ponder the important question of what will come next. The conventional and clichéd wisdom pronounced by pundits and politicians the world over focuses on the risk of a dramatic rise to power for the Muslim Brotherhood and the inevitability of a new Islamist, and implicitly dictatorial, ruling establishment. Disaster for the U.S., for Israel, and for the future of Egypt, right? If the events of recent weeks demonstrate anything, however, it is that dictatorship is increasingly difficult to manufacture in the age of modern communications.
Let's take a step back and acknowledge exactly what these Twitter and Facebook "revolutions" have managed to overcome in just Tunisia and Egypt so far (bearing in mind events in Jordan and Yemen as well). Former president Ben-Ali ruled over Tunisia, with the help of a highly-trained secret police force (among other levers of control), for over 20 years. Just weeks before he fled the country, few Tunisians would have ever imagined a day where he and his cronies would not dominate the landscape of politics and life in Tunisia for as long as he lived. What had largely been considered one of the most stable and pacified populations in the Arab world, however, took to the streets in large numbers, rendering the president's apparatus of control inoperable against the masses of people from which it was drawn. Increasingly facing the possibility of internal betrayal and what that would mean for his own head, Ben-Ali fled. What happened afterward, however, was in many ways more remarkable than his being deposed.
The government that immediately replaced the Ben-Ali regime was largely made up of his associates. And while that new government immediately pledged and took concrete steps to dismantle the means of censorship and develop democratic institutions, the Tunisian population, well-informed, continued to protest. Staging demonstrations and continuing to put pressure on a still-infant government, remaining elements from the old guard were purged from the new interim regime. All the evidence suggests that Tunisia is on its way to democratic institution-building and free elections. From communication to coordination, it is hard to imagine how such an historic sequence of events could have happened without the Internet tools that have only become widely used in the region in the last few years.
Events in Egypt are, in the most important ways, following a similar trajectory. While such events are impossible to predict, it is reasonable to hypothesize that, as in Tunisia, no group that fills the potential power vacuum in Egypt will have the clout, influence, or muscle that Mubarak developed over the last 30 years to implement his dictatorial rule. With the tools at the disposal of the world's citizens today, the fear of new dictatorships springing out of such well-established ones — former dictatorships that had decades to harness accountability from their repressive systems — seems almost far-fetched. The protesters and the press, emboldened by the information and images they see and transmit in seconds, are already focusing their rhetoric on a post-Mubarak era and the avoidance of a failed transition to democracy.
The world's governments that have been criticized for becoming more dictatorial in the last decade seem to have done so through reform, not revolution. Take Venezuela, for example. The specter of an Iranian-type genuine revolution turned radical Islamic regime also seems unlikely in the Egyptian context. The lack of a unified and charismatic Islamic front (with the Muslim Brotherhood being rather late to the game), coupled with the modern means of communication that are helping to topple Mubarak, will threaten to make the consolidation of power for a new dictatorial regime untenable unless it is extremely popular.
Most importantly, though, let's acknowledge that democracy's growing pains, whatever they may be, deserve the opportunity to play themselves out. It is not the business of entities foreign to Egypt to try and divine the potential makeup of a future government, and then exercise preference over whether or not Egyptians have a right to their own destiny. Foreign influence (short of intervention) should be designed to help strengthen populations and countries that seek to take destiny into their own hands, in the model of Tunisia (with the U.S.' encouragement of Ben-Ali's stepping down), and not in the old model of Iran. Note that the undermining of Iran's popular and democratic movements of yesterday are thought to have contributed to the radicalism and anti-Americanism of its revolution and its government today.
U.S. policy suggests it is frantically trying not to be on the wrong side in Egypt, and in the region generally. We should consider, though, the monumental reputational damage the U.S. will sustain if it stands on the side of autocracy or even ambiguity as it has done in the last two weeks. The specter of loss of interests should yield to the realization that only democratic partners in the region can protect our interests permanently, and that those democratic partners had better be our friends.

Culinary heritage of Vijayanagara empire
Mehul Vora April 12, 2019 Leave a Comment on Culinary heritage of Vijayanagara empire
Share the stories
Vijayanagara Empire Founded in 1336 in the wake of the rebellions against Tughluq rule in the Deccan. The Hindu Vijayanagar Empire lasted for more than two centuries as the dominant power in south India. Its history and fortunes were shaped by the increasing militarization of peninsular politics after the Muslim invasions. The commercialization that made south India a major participant in the trade network linking Europe and East Asia.
This Dynasty is often synonymous with the greatest ruler of south India Krishnadevaraya. He reigned from 1509-1529 as the third ruler in uluva dynasty. Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana ("Lord of the Kannada empire"), Andhra Bhoja and Mooru Rayara Ganda ("King of Three Kings"). He became the dominant ruler of the peninsula of India by defeating the Sultans of Bijapur, Golconda, the Bahmani Sultanate and the Gajapatis of Odisha. He was one of the most powerful of all the Hindu rulers of India.
The Vijayanagara society consisted of a largely priestly class, warrior class, trading class, agricultural and other related classes of people. The Vijayanagara rulers who ruled South India for nearly three centuries. they believed it is their duty to protect and promote traditional social order based on the Varnashrama system, as it can be seen in inscriptions. When it came to food Habits a rich variety of food items were taken by people of Vijayanagara. Even to this day some of the same food items are prepared. People were familiar with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items. The Brahmins, Vaisyas, Jains, and the Lingayats took only vegetarian food, while others including the royal family were accustomed to take meat, fish, and fowl. Vijayanagara city was the best-provided city in the world, with Provisions of rice, wheat, grains, corn, pulses, horsegram, and many other kinds of cereal, were stocked largely and sold very cheaply. However, the use of wheat was largely uncommon.
The Amuktamalyada says that the dishes changed from season to season. The list of preparations as seasonal meals are: crispy black lentil chips (vadiyamulu), dried vegetable stir-fry (varugulu), jaggery-flavored broths (tiyyani cārulu), sweet and savory porridges (timmanambulu, palucani ambaḷulu), sweet cakes (rasavalulu from atirasamulu ariselu), tender green mangoes (vaḍa piṇḍelu), green vegetables flavoured with mustard powder (avan cigurkonu paccallu) and pickled fruits (urungayalu). A seasoned mixture made with equal parts of cumin-spiced jaggery and tangy tamarind" (similar to sambar), also a sweet and sour rice preparation is mentioned (tamarind rice or pulihora).
In summer people ate raw mango and fried fish with rice. To avoid the smell, they drank tender coconut water which was buried under the sand. Farmers in the monsoon had the 'harakadaanna' and a curry made of green leafy vegetables with tender leaves of tamarind. The rich people carried the Ingredients such as rice, dal, spice powder, ghee, on their journey.
Kanakadasa in his Mohanatarangini has described the lunch in an annachhatra of Brahmins. The lunch consisted of rice, dal, gravy prepared of butter, milk, rasam, soup, pickles, and butter milk. The sweet items consisted of pheni, sukhhinunde, garige, sweet dishes, mixed fruits with milk. After the lunch betel leaf, areca nut with camphor was given. In the Vijayanagara empire, people used Cotton oil to cook food.
Food grains like ragi, rice and jowar were the staple food of the people. There appeared to have been public eating houses in the Capital City of Vijayanagara, where stone slabs with hollows in them for rice and curries were used for eating. Travelers may have been required to pay some amount for it. Such kind of stone slabs can be seen even to this day in some parts of the capital city. Besides public eating houses, there were many free feeding choultries where travelers were allowed to have food for a specified number of days. People were in the habit of chewing betel leaf after dinner.

The culture of Armenia encompasses many elements that are based on the geography, literature, architecture, dance, and music of the Armenian people.

Creative arts

Literature

Literature began in Armenia around 401 A.D. The majority of the literary arts were created by Moses of Khorene, in the 5th century. Through the years the elements of literature have changed as the stories and myths were passed on through generations. In the late 17th century, Alexander Tertzakian was a renowned Armenian writer who created several works considered to be among Armenia's classics. During the 19th century, writer Mikael Nalbandian worked to create a new Armenian literary identity. Nalbandian's poem "Song of the Italian Girl" may have been the inspiration for the Armenian national anthem, Mer Hayrenik.

Mesrop Mashtots is considered to be the creator of the Armenian alphabet. This event which took place in the 5th century is considered to be one of the most important turning points of Armenian Literature

Movses Khorenatsi was a prominent Armenian historian from the period of late antiquity and the author of the History of the Armenians.

Khorenatsi is credited with the earliest known historiographical work on the history of Armenia written in Armenian, but was also a poet, or hymn writer, and a grammarian. The History of Armenia was written at the behest of Prince Sahak Bagratuni and has had an enormous impact on Armenian historiography. It was used and quoted extensively by later medieval Armenian authors. Although other Armenians, such as Agathangelos, had previously written histories on Armenia, Movses' work holds particular significance because it contains unique material on the old oral traditions in Armenia before its conversion to Christianity and, more importantly, traces Armenian history from Movses' day back to its origins.

Dance

The Armenian dance heritage has been one of the oldest, richest and most varied in the Near East. From the fifth to the third millennia B.C., in the higher regions of Armenia there are rock paintings of scenes of country dancing. These dances were probably accompanied by certain kinds of songs or musical instruments. In the 5th century Moses of Khorene (Movsés Khorenats'i) himself had heard of how the old descendants of Aram (that is Armenians) make mention of these things (epic tales) in the ballads for the lyre and their songs and dances.

One of the most energetic Armenian dances is the martial dance Yarkhushta. Yarkhushta is believed to have its origins in the early Middle Ages as it is mentioned in the works of Movses Khorenatsi, Faustus of Byzantium, and Grigor Magistros. Yarkhushta has traditionally been danced by Armenian soldiers before combat engagements, partly for ritualistic purposes, and partly in order to cast off fear and boost battle spirit.

The dance is performed by men, who face each other in pairs. The key element of the dance is a forward movement when participants rapidly approach one another and vigorously clap onto the palms of hands of dancers in the opposite row.

Architecture

Classical Armenian architecture is divided into four separate periods. The first Armenian churches were built between the 4th and 7th Century, beginning when Armenia converted to Christianity, and ending with the Arab invasion of Armenia. The early churches were mostly simple basilicas, but some with side apses. By the 5th century the typical cupola cone in the center had become widely used. By the 7th century, centrally-planned churches had been built and a more complicated niched buttress and radiating Hrip'simé style had formed. By the time of the Arab invasion, most of what we now know as classical Armenian architecture had formed.

Carpets

Though women historically dominated carpet-weaving in Armenian communities, several prominent carpet-weavers in Karabakh are known to have been men, and in some cases whole families took up the art. The oldest extant Armenian carpet from the region, referred to as Artsakh during the medieval era, is from the village of Banants (near Gandzak) and dates to the early 13th century. The first time that the Armenian word for carpet, gorg, was used in historical sources was in a 1242-1243 Armenian inscription on the wall of the Kaptavan Church in Artsakh.

Art historian Hravard Hakobyan notes that "Artsakh carpets occupy a special place in the history of Armenian carpet-making. Common themes and patterns found on Armenian carpets were the depiction of dragons and eagles. They were diverse in style, rich in color and ornamental motifs, and were even separated in categories depending on what sort of animals were depicted on them, such as artsvagorgs (eagle-carpets), vishapagorgs (dragon-carpets) and otsagorgs (serpent-carpets). The rug mentioned in the Kaptavan inscriptions is composed of three arches, "covered with vegatative ornaments", and bears an artistic resemblance to the illuminated manuscripts produced in Artsakh.

The art of carpet weaving was in addition intimately connected to the making of curtains as evidenced in a passage by Kirakos Gandzaketsi, a 13th-century Armenian historian from Artsakh, who praised Arzu-Khatun, the wife of regional prince Vakhtang Khachenatsi, and her daughters for their expertise and skill in weaving.

Armenian carpet was also renowned by foreigners who traveled to Artsakh; the Arab geographer and historian Al-Masudi noted that, among other works of art, he had never seen such carpets elsewhere in his life.

Art

The National Art Gallery in Yerevan has more than 16,000 works that date back to the Middle Ages, which indicate Armenia's rich tales and stories of the times. It houses paintings by many European masters as well. The Modern Art Museum, the Children's Picture Gallery, and the Martiros Saryan Museum are only a few of the other noteworthy collections of fine art on display in Yerevan. Moreover, many private galleries are in operation, with many more opening every year, featuring rotating exhibitions and sales.

Lacemaking
Like Lacis, Armenian needlelace seems to be an obvious descendant of netmaking. Where lacis adds decorative stitches to a net ground, Armenian needlelace involves making the net itself decorative. There is some archaeological evidence suggesting the use of lace in prehistoric Armenia and the prevalence of pre-Christian symbology in traditional designs would certainly suggest a pre-Christian root for this art form.
In contrast to Europe where lace was the preserve of the nobility, in Armenia it decorated everything from traditional headscarves to lingerie. Thus lacemaking was part of many women's lives.

Theater

Born in Cairo, Egypt, Atom Egoyan is now an internationally known filmmaker who is celebrated for his contemporary work, including personal feature films and other related projects. He is the winner of many awards at international film festivals, such as the Grand Prix and international Critics' Awards from the Cannes Film Festival and two Academy Award nominations for "The Sweet Hereafter". Egoyan has also worked in the television and theatre industries, producing Wagner's Die Walkure which was performed by the Canadian Opera Company in April 2004. Egoyan's creation Ararat (2002) is about the 1915 Armenian Genocide perpetrated by Turks in the Turkish Ottoman Empire. It depicts the consequences and suffering of a child survivor Arshile Gorky, and is an incredibly made-movie for both Armenians and non-Armenians.

Music

One of the most important parts of Armenian culture is the music, which has brought new forms of music in recent years, while maintaining traditional styles too. This is evidenced by the world-class Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra that performs at the beautifully refurbished Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in the Yerevan Opera House, where one can also attend a full season of opera. In addition, several chamber ensembles are highly regarded for their musicianship, including the Komitas Quartet, Hover Chamber Choir, National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia and the Serenade Orchestra. Classical music can also be heard at one of several smaller venues, including the Yerevan State Musical Conservatory, the Komitas Chamber Music Hall and the Komitas Museum. Jazz is popular in Armenia, especially in the summer when live performances are a regular occurrence at one of the city's many outdoor cafés and parks. Armenian rock has made its input to the rock culture. The most known Armenian traditional instrument is the Ծիրանափող, meaning apricot flute, also known as duduk ( or doo-dook).

Modern day Armenian artists have incorporated folk music into more modern jazz and rock genres so that the traditional music still influences their creations, such as Zartong a late 70's Armenian progressive folk band based out of France.

Inga and Anush Arshakyans are an unexpected duo who create ethno, contemporary tracks that are also full of Armenian spirit. After graduating from the Yerevan State Conservatory, the singers started performing together on the professional stage in 2000. Later, in 2009 Inga & Anush represented Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. They ended up taking the tenth place with 92 points. Their music is a balanced fusion of Armenian folk music, rock, jazz and other contemporary genres. Some of their most popular tracks include Menq Enq Mer Sarere and Im Anune Hayastan e.

Another singer from Yerevan, Armenia who is popular among young adults is Armen Gondrachyan, more famously known as 'Armenchik'. The influence of his father, who was also a singer, inspired Armen to start singing at the young age of seven. In 1989, Armen and his family moved to the United States, while in 1995, at the age of fifteen, he found a band and recorded his first album. In 1988, Armen went back to his hometown in Armenia and lived there for a year, and at the same time released the album, "Armen, memories from Armenia." This release initiated his path to star-dom. With his current fame, Armen is still very dedicated to the Armenian community. It was in October 2003 that he had his first concert in Glendale, California. The concert was a sellout, and in that same year, Armen received an award for the best-selling album of the year, "Anunt Inche".

Isabel Bayrakdarian is an opera singer of Armenian descent and is now known and popular both among Armenians and non-Armenians. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in biomedical engineering, but has become very successful in North America as an opera singer and an active concertizer. She is featured on the Grammy-award-winning soundtrack of the film, the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Bayrakdarian is also the winner of four Juno Awards for Best Classical Album (Vocal). Further, she is a featured vocalist of Atom Egoyan's movie, Ararat, in collaboration with the band "Delerium", which brought in another Grammy nomination.

Şahan Arzruni is an internationally renowned concert pianist, born in Istanbul, Turkey. Through his live performances and sound recordings he has disseminated the Armenian piano music throughout the world. He has some two dozen recordings, devoted mostly to the works of Armenian composer. Arzruni is also an author, a lecturer, a producer and impresario. He has been awarded two medals by the Armenian government for furthering Armenian culture. He lives in New York City.

Since 2014, The Naghash Ensemble has been touring in Europe performing new music by American-Armenian composer John Hodian based on sacred Armenian poetry by the medieval painter, poet and priest Mkrtich Naghash. With three female vocalists, duduk, oud, dhol and piano, The Naghash Ensemble combines new classical music and post-minimaslism with Armenian folk and spiritual music.

Cinema

Soviet Armenia (1924) was the first Armenian documentary film. Namus was the first Armenian silent black and white film (1926, ), directed by Hamo Beknazarian and based on a play of Alexander Shirvanzade describing the ill fate of two lovers, who were engaged by their families to each other since childhood, but because of violations of namus (a tradition of honor), the girl was married by her father. In 1969, Sergei Parajanov created The Color of Pomegranates.

Language

The Armenian language dates to the early period of Indo-European differentiation and dispersion some 5000 years ago, or perhaps as early as 7,800 years ago according to some recent research. Trade and conquest forced the language to change, adding new words into the people's vocabulary. Literature and books written in Armenian appeared by the 4th century. The written language of that time, called classical Armenian or Grabar, remained the Armenian literary language, with various changes, until the 19th century. Meanwhile, spoken Armenian developed independently of the written language. Many dialects appeared when Armenian communities became separated by geography or politics, and not all of these dialects are mutually intelligible. English is a popular language in the business world.

Cuisine

Armenian cuisine is as ancient as the history of Armenia, a combination of different tastes and aromas. The food often has quite a distinct smell. Closely related to eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, various spices, vegetables, fish, and fruits combine to present unique dishes. Armenia is also famous for its wine and brandy. In particular, Armenian cognac is renowned worldwide (winner of several awards), and was considered by the late British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, as his favourite. It has often been referred to as the food of today.

A very important aspect of the Armenian cuisine is the traditional bread called Lavash. In 2014, "Lavash, the preparation, meaning and appearance of traditional bread as an expression of culture in Armenia" was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Armenian soup, Khash, also has its own, unique place in the Armenian cuisine. The name khash originates from the Armenian verb khashél (Armenian: խաշել), which means "to boil." The dish, initially called khashoy, is mentioned by a number of medieval Armenian authors, e.g. Grigor Magistros (11th century), Mkhitar Heratsi (12th century), Yesayi Nchetsi (13th century), etc.

The pomegranate, with its symbolic association with fertility represents that nation. The apricot is the national fruit. Since Roman times, the apricot was known as Prunus Armeniaca, literally translated as " Armenian Plum".
According to encyclopedia.com,"A popular Armenian drink to this day is tan, a mixture of water and soured yogurt".

Sports

A wide array of sports are played in Armenia. Football is the most popular sport in Armenia. Other popular sports are wrestling, weightlifting, judo, chess, and boxing. Armenia's mountainous terrain provides great opportunities for the practice of sports like skiing and rock climbing. Being a landlocked country, water sports can only be practiced on lakes, notably Lake Sevan. Competitively, Armenia has been very successful at chess, weightlifting, and wrestling at the international level.

Radston Monolith in Great Britain
Rating: 8,6/10 ( votes)
The Radston Monolith is the tallest menhir in the country, measuring over 7.5 meters in height, but with rather thin outlines. This megalithic structure is located in the courtyard of the church in the village of Radston in Yorkshire. According to the assumptions of historians, the church made in the Norman style was built exactly here because this place was considered sacred and cult among the villagers. The upper part of the Radston Monolith is broken off, otherwise it was even a meter higher in height. Nearby, according to Royston, there was once another menhir, but later it was buried under the ground of the churchyard. The top of the Radston Monolith is covered with a tip that protects the monument from further destruction. The first, lead, was worn back in 1773 and later replaced. Also, around the menhir, researchers find traces of previous centuries. So, Sir William Strickland, engaged in excavations at the end of the 18th century, found human skulls buried next to the menhir, which speaks of the sacrifices carried out here. And on the wall of the menhir itself you can see the imprinted footprints of the ancient inhabitant of the planet - a dinosaur.
