The Simplon and Gotthard railway lines connect Milano Centrale to Basel and Geneva via Domodossola and Zürich via Chiasso in Switzerland. The Milan suburban railway service does not use Milano Centrale but the other mainline stations: Porta Garibaldi (northwest), Cadorna (west) and Rogoredo (east). Architect Aldo Rossi said in an interview of February 1995 to Cecilia Bolognesi: "They told me that when Frank Lloyd Wright came to Milan, and he came only once, he was really impressed by it and said it was the most beautiful station in the world. For me it is also more beautiful than Grand Central Station in New York. I know few stations like this one".

Beer in the Czech Republic
Beer () has a long history in what is now the Czech Republic. Brewing was recorded in Břevnov Monastery in 993. The city of Brno had the right to brew beer from the 12th century. Plzeň and České Budějovice (Pilsen and Budweis in German), had breweries in the 13th century. The most common Czech beers are pale lagers of the pilsner type, with a characteristic transparent golden colour, high foaminess, and lighter flavour. Czech people drink more beer per person than any other country. The largest Czech beer breweries are Pilsner Urquell, (Gambrinus, Radegast, Master); Staropramen (Staropramen, Ostravar, Braník, Velvet); and Budweiser Budvar. Other top-selling brands include Krušovice, Starobrno, Březňák, Zlatopramen, Lobkowicz, Bernard, and Svijany. The strength of beer is measured by degree scale (in Czech: "stupňovitost"), which is the weight percentage of sucrose. So, 12° beer has 12% sucrose dissolved in water. A 10° beer is about 4% alcohol by volume, a 12° is about 5%, and a 16° is about 6.5%. According to Czech law, categories of beer, regardless of colour or style, are: History. The history of beer in the modern Czech Republic, historically Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, goes back even before the Slavic migration in the 6th century. The ingredients used then were not the same as today. Hops have been grown, used in beer making, and exported since the twelfth century. Most towns had at least one brewery. The most famous brewing cities in Bohemia were České Budějovice, Plzeň, and Prague. Other towns with breweries include Rakovník, Žatec, and Třeboň.

Brix
Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid. It is used to measure how much dissolved sugar there is in an aqueous solution. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximately measures the dissolved solid content. For example, when one adds equal amounts of salt and sugar to equal amounts of water, the degrees of refraction (BRIX) of the salt solution rises faster than the sugar solution. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, fresh produce, maple syrup and honey industries. The °Bx is also used for measuring the concentration of a cutting fluid mixed in water for metalworking processes. Other scales for indicating sucrose content are: the Plato scale (°P), which is widely used by the brewing industry; the Oechsle scale used in German and Swiss wine making industries, amongst others; and the Balling scale, which is the oldest of the three systems and therefore mostly found in older textbooks, but is still in use in some parts of the world.

Cabbage roll
A cabbage roll is a dish made of cooked cabbage leaves wrapped around some sort of stuffing. It is eaten in Central, Northern, Eastern and Southeastern Europe and much of Western Asia, Northern China, as well as parts of North Africa. Meat fillings are traditional in Europe. That may be beef, lamb, or pork seasoned with garlic, onion, and spices. Grains such as rice and barley, mushrooms, and vegetables are often included as well. Fermented cabbage leaves may be used for wrapping, particularly in southeastern Europe. In Asia, seafoods, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms or Vegeta may also be used. Chinese cabbage is often used as a wrapping. Cabbage leaves stuffed with the filling are then baked, simmered, or steamed in a covered pot. They are generally eaten warm with a sauce. Many different sauces are used.. In Sweden and Finland, stuffed cabbage is served with lingonberry jam, which is both sweet and tart. In Central and Eastern Europe, tomato-based sauces and sour cream are typical. In Lebanon, the cabbage is stuffed with rice and minced meat and only rolled to the size of a cigar. It is usually served with a side dish of yogurt and a type of lemon and olive oil vinaigrette seasoned with garlic and dried mint. Cabbage roll is eaten a lot in Romania. The recipe and sizing depends on the region. It often takes up to 6 hours to cook. Traditionally it is made with pork, beef, bacon, rice, spices and aromatics, in tomato sauce and served with polenta, sour cream and spicy pickled peppers. Cooking textbook author Nancy Krcek stated that the origins are unclear. It is possible multiple groups of people invented it at the same time. Another cooking book author Malgorzata Caprari stated it is believed that credit is owed to the poorer inhabitants of Central and Eastern European countries. Due to the widespread cultivation of cabbage in these regions, it is likely that the cultures who inhabited them were the original inventors of this dish. Cabbage rolls have found their way into popular culture, becoming one of the most recognizable dishes in Central and Eastern European cuisine. They often appear in literature and films as a symbol of homey comfort and tradition. A version called holishkes is traditionally eaten by Jews on Simchat Torah. Recipes vary. northern Poles prefer a savory sauce. In Galicia, Hungary and Ukraine people like sweet-and-sour.

Kurixalus idiootocus
The Mientien small tree frog, Mientien tree frog, or temple tree frog ("Kurixalus idiootocus") is a frog. It lives in Taiwan. People have seen it between 50 and 2000 meters above sea level. This frog lives in grasslands, places with small woody plants, and pady fields. This frog lays eggs in the dirt between the dead leaves on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the rain pushes the tadpoles into shallow water that does not move. The tadpoles can float on top of the water. Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it is good at living in places that human beings have changed. However, human beings built roads and buildings in the places where the frog would live. Some of the places the frog lives are protected parks.

Glutinous rice
Glutinous rice ("Oryza sativa var. glutinosa"; also called sticky rice, sweet rice or waxy rice) is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, and the northeastern regions of South Asia. It has opaque grains, very low amylose content. It is especially sticky when cooked. It is widely eaten in Asia. It is called glutinous () in the sense of being glue-like or sticky. It does not contain gluten. While often called "sticky rice", it differs from non-glutinous strains of japonica rice, which also become sticky to some degree when cooked. There are numerous cultivars of glutinous rice, which include "japonica", "indica" and "tropical japonica" strains. Cultivation. Glutinous rice is grown in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Northeast India, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines. About 85% of Lao rice production is of this type. As of 2013, approximately 6,530 glutinous rice varieties were collected from five continents (Asia, South America, North America, Europe, and Africa) where glutinous rice is grown for preservation at the International Rice Genebank. The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) has described Laos as a "collector's paradise". Laos has the largest biodiversity of sticky rice in the world. IRRI-trained collectors gathered more than 13,500 samples and 3,200 varieties from Laos.

Tajine
A tajine or tagine is a North African dish, named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called or . Pottery. The traditional Tajine pottery, sometimes painted or glazed, is in two parts. There is a circular base unit that is flat with low sides and a large cone- or dome-shaped cover that sits on the base during cooking. The cover is designed to return all condensation to the bottom. That process can be improved by adding cold water into the specially designed well at the top of the lid. Tajine is traditionally cooked over hot charcoal leaving enough space between the coals and the tajine pot to stop the temperature rising too quickly. Large bricks of charcoal are used, because they stay hot for hours. It can be cooked in a slow oven or on a gas or electric stove top, on the lowest heat necessary to keep the stew simmering gently. A diffuser, a circular utensil is placed between the tajine and the flame. That distributes the stove's heat evenly. European manufacturers have created tajines with heavy cast-iron bottoms. They can be heated on a cooking stove to a high temperature for browning the meat and vegetables before cooking. Tajine cooking may be done using a slow cooker. Many ceramic tajines are decorative items as well as functional cooking vessels. Some tajines are intended only to be used as decorative serving dishes.

Monogram
A monogram is a style of design created by combining and overlapping two or more letters to form one single symbol. History. Monograms were first used on coins from as early as 350 BC. The earliest known examples are of the names of Greek cities which issued the coins, often the first two letters of the city's name. For example, the monogram of Achaea consisted of the letters alpha (Α) and chi (Χ) joined together. Monograms have been used as signatures by artists and craft workers on paintings, sculptures and pieces of furniture.

Méchoui
Méchoui or Meshwi is a whole sheep or lamb spit-roasted on a barbecue in Maghrebi cooking. The word comes from the Arabic word "šawā" (, "grilling, roasting"). This dish is very popular in North Africa. In Algeria and Morocco, the term "méchoui" "refers to the method of cooking a lamb or a sheep cooked whole on the spit". In Tunisia it means any piece of meat or fish grilled over a fire. Preparation. All the internal organs of the lamb are removed from the body apart from the kidneys. The body is stitched up after being sprinkled with spices, particularly ras el hanout. The lamb is skewered on a tree branch and cooked next to a wood fire. It is rotated slowly and evenly so as to ensure evenly distributed cooking. The prepared lamb is not placed directly above the fire. Melting fat could catch fire. The cooking is started gently, so that the interior cooks almost at the same time as the outside. During cooking, the meat is brushed with melted butter or oil, to make it crispy. Gradually, the lamb is brought close to the hot fire, so that the flesh takes on an amber color. The cooking time varies according to the weight of the animal, typically about a quarter of an hour per kilogram. Presentation. Méchoui is a dish served at the beginning of the meal, as part of a feast or "diffa". With the fingers of the right hand, the host takes pieces of grilled meat and offers them to guests. Traditionally, no cutlery is used to serve a mechoui, because, due to the slow cooking, the meat should be able to detach without any effort. The nomadic populations, in addition to their main herd often composed of several thousand sheep, raise a small number of male lambs specifically for mechoui, feeding them with "cheih", a species of wild mugwort which gives the lamb a distinctive character.

Birotron
The Birotron is an electronic keyboard instrument. It was invented and made in the 1970s. Many people were excited about this new musical instrument, it was never produced commercially or released to the public. Today, music experts say it is the rarest manufactured instrument in the world. Development. The Birotron was a tape-replay keyboard, meaning it could store sounds and songs on magnetic tape and later play them back to produce music. It was similar to the Mellotron and Chamberlin, two other types of tape-replay keyboards. However, these three keyboards used different methods of storing tape. The Birotron used 8-track tapes in endless loops, meaning they never had to be rewound or replaced. In contrast, the Mellotron and the Chamberlin used strips of tape wrapped around pulleys. The Birotron was developed by Dave Biro and financed by Rick Wakeman (of the band Yes), alongside the Rudkin-Wiley Corporation, which was under the ownership of Pepperidge Farm Foods / Campbell Soup, and Air Shield Ltd. Early interest and pre-orders. The Birotron was heavily advertised in trade magazines and gained attention in newspaper articles. Over 1,000 pre-orders, valued at more than one million dollars in sales, were received from many of the most popular bands and musicians of the time. Legendary artists who pre-ordered the Birotron included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Vangelis, The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Chicago, Uriah Heep, Roger Whittaker, The Faces, Yes, Larry Fast (Synergy), Rod Stewart, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Gary Wright, Captain and Tennille, Dudley Moore, and Patrick Moraz. Manufacturing issues and delays. When production of the Birotron started, manufacturing difficulties soon arose. These problems became time-consuming and costly to resolve, causing major delays in the instrument's release to the public. By the time Birotronics was ready to launch the Birotron in the late 1970s, digital keyboard technology (such as the Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument) was emerging. The Birotron's 8-track tape technology had now become outdated. Birotronics predicted that the Birotrons profit margins would be very low because of its obsolete technology, rising manufacturing costs, and competition from string synthesizers (electronic musical instruments designed to imitate string instruments). As a result, Birotronics halted funding and production for the Birotron. Birotronics disposed of all Birotron B90 prototypes and the specialized parts needed to manufacture them. These important parts could only be produced by the companies that had originally created them. Of the over 1,000 people and bands who pre-ordered a Birotron, only three bands ever received one: Yes (with Rick Wakeman), Tangerine Dream, and Klaus Schulze (alongside Earthstar). To obtain their Birotrons, they had to make personal visits to Peter Robinson, the owner and CEO of the manufacturing company Birotronics Ltd. Legacy. Today, the Birotron is classified by musicologists as the world’s rarest manufactured instrument. As of now, only two working Birotrons (with incomplete and non-playable tape sets) are known to exist. Because it was used to create soundscapes (combinations of various sounds), there is no definitive record of how the Birotron sounded by itself. No representative Birotron samples have ever been created for software, as replacement 8-track tapes were never produced or issued to the few bands that owned one. The Birotron was briefly used on albums, tours, and a hit single before it disappeared rapidly. Its rarity and sense of mystery increased public interest in the instrument. According to reports by Rick Wakeman and "The Times", a Birotron was privately sold in the 1990s for between £35,000 and £45,000. In comparison, similar keyboards from the same era were selling for just a few hundred pounds at the time. The Rudkin-Wiley Corporation did attempt to develop a 1980s version of the instrument, called the Birotron Polyvox, which would have used both digital and 8-track tape technology. However, this project never advanced beyond the design stage.

A static web page is a type of web page that is pre-made and does not change, unless someone updates the code or content of the page manually. This means that when you visit a static web page, you will always see the same thing, assuming nothing has been changed on the server where the page is hosted. Static web pages are made up of fixed content that is written in basic computer languages such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). These languages allow designers to create the layout, structure, and appearance of the page. JavaScript can also be used to add interactive features, but overall, static web pages have limited functionality compared to dynamic web pages. Disadvantages of static web pages. In summary, while static web pages offer some benefits, particularly around speed, simplicity, and security, they lack the flexibility and advanced capabilities found in modern dynamic websites. However, they remain an appropriate choice for simple sites with minimal needs.
