			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. “Tea” also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water <span id="more-183"></span><br />
“Tea” also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water  and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. Although tea contains various types of polyphenols, “contrary to widespread belief, tea does not contain tannic acid.”</p>
<p>After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.</p>
<p>There are at least six varieties of tea; white, yellow, green, oolong, black and pu-erh of which the most commonly found on the market are white, green, oolong and black. All tea are made from the same species of plant, though different varieties may be used, and the leaves are processed differently, and, in the case of fine white tea, grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often used medicinally.[6]</p>
<p>The term “herbal tea” usually refers to an infusion or tisane of leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.The term “red tea” refers to an infusion made from either black tea (mainly in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages) or the South African rooibos plant (containing no Camellia sinensis).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Audi TT is a two-door  compact sports car manufactured by Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. in Győr, Hungary, since 1998, for the German automaker and Volkswagen Group subsidiary AUDI AG.<span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p>The Audi TT is now in its second generation — and both generations have been available in two car body styles; as a 2+2 Coupé (TT-C), or two-seater Roadster (TT-R). They have been built on consecutive generations of the Volkswagen Group A platform, starting with the A4 (PQ34). As a result of this platform-sharing, the Audi TT has identical powertrain and suspension layouts as its related platform-mates; this includes a front-mounted transversely orientated engine, front-wheel drive or a Haldex Traction-based quattro &#8216;on-demand&#8217; four-wheel drive system, and fully independent front suspension using MacPherson struts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no known meaning behind the name of Kauaʻi. Native Hawaiian tradition indicates the name&#8217;s origin in the legend of Hawaiʻiloa  — the Polynesian navigator attributed with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. The story relates how he named the island of Kauaʻi after a favorite son; therefore a possible translation of Kauaʻi is &#8220;place around the neck&#8221;, meaning how a father would carry a favorite child. Another possible translation is &#8220;food season.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>Kauaʻi was known for its distinct dialect of the Hawaiian language before it went extinct there. Whereas the standard language today is based on the dialect of Hawaiʻi island, the Kauaʻi dialect was known for pronouncing /k/ as /t/. In effect, Kauaʻi dialect retained the old pan-Polynesian /t/, while &#8216;standard&#8217; Hawaiʻi dialect has innovated and changed it to the glottal stop. Therefore, the native name for Kauaʻi was Tauaʻi, and the major settlement of Kapaʻa would have been called Tapaʻa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singing sand, whistling sand or barking sand is sand that produces sounds of either high or low frequency  under pressure. The sound emission is usually triggered by wind passing over dunes  or by walking on the sand. The sound is generated by shear stress.<br />
<span id="more-78"></span><br />
Certain conditions have to come together to create singing sand:</p>
<ol>
<li>The sand grains have to be round and between 0.1 and 0.5 mm in diameter</li>
<li>The sand has to contain silica</li>
<li>The sand needs to be a certain humidity</li>
</ol>
<h2>The next morning</h2>
<p>One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table &#8211; Samsa was a travelling salesman &#8211; and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather.</p>
<h3>Drops of rain hitting the pane</h3>
<p>Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. &#8220;How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense&#8221;, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn&#8217;t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.</p>
<blockquote><p>What&#8217;s happened to me? He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn&#8217;t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.</p></blockquote>

However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.</p>
<ol>
<li>The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.</li>
<li>His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. </li>
<li>&#8220;What&#8217;s happened to me? &#8221; he thought. It wasn&#8217;t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.</li>

</ol>
<p>He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn&#8217;t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. &#8220;Oh, God&#8221;, he thought, &#8220;what a strenuous career it is that I&#8217;ve chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there&#8217;s the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell! &#8221; He felt a slight itch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interstate 81 (abbreviated I-81) is an Interstate Highway in the eastern part of the United States. Its southern terminus is at Interstate 40 in Dandridge, Tennessee; its northern terminus is on Wellesley Island (near Fishers Landing, New York) at the Canadian border.<br />
<span id="more-151"></span></p>
<p>Interstate 81 largely traces the path of the Appalachian Mountains, often paralleling its older U.S. highway counterpart, U.S. Route 11. While mostly rural, it is heavily used as a trucking corridor, often as a bypass of the busier Interstate 95 to the east.</p>
<p>The Interstate 81 Corridor Coalition, a six-state coalition, was organized to handle issues along Interstate 81, such as truck traffic and air pollution. As of October 15, 2008, this commission has met twice.</p>

<p>A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.</p>
<p>I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), not to be confused with bee balm, Monarda  species, is a perennial herb in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region.<br />
<span id="more-32"></span><br />
It grows to 70-150 cm tall. The leaves have a gentle lemon scent, related to mint. At the end of the summer, small white flowers full of nectar appear. These attract bees, hence the genus name Melissa (Greek for &#8216;honey bee&#8217;). Its flavour comes from the terpenes citronellal, citronellol, citral, and geraniol.</p>
<p>This herb can be easy to cultivate in Plant Hardiness Zones 4 to 9 according to the United States Department of Agriculture. In zone 4, it needs winter mulch and a well-drained sandy soil to survive. In zone 7, it can be harvested at least until the end of November. While it prefers full sun (as described on most plant tags), it is moderately shade-tolerant, much more so than most herbs. In dry climates, it grows best in partial shade. It can also be easily grown as an indoor potted herb.</p>

<span id="more-36"></span><br />
It grows to 40–60 cm (16–24 in), with slender stems and alternate, finely divided, softly delicate leaves 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) long. The ultimate leaf divisions are 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) broad, slightly broader than the similar leaves of fennel, which are threadlike, less than 1 mm (0.039 in) broad, but harder in texture. The flowers are white to yellow, in small umbels 2–9 cm (0.79–3.5 in) diameter. The seeds are 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 1 mm (0.039 in) thick, and straight to slightly curved with a longitudinally ridged surface.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried fruits of Capsicum annuum (e.g., bell peppers or chili peppers). In many European languages, the word paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes. Paprika can range from sweet (mild, not hot) to spicy (hot). Flavors also vary from country to country.<br />
<span id="more-44"></span><br />
According to Hindu legend, paprika is said to have been named after a religious Indian figure named &#8220;Rysh Paprike&#8221;.  It has also been speculated that paprika is a derivation of the Serbian word &#8216;paprena&#8217;, which means &#8216;fiery&#8217;, then apparently forming it into &#8216;paprika&#8217;. An alternative claim is that &#8216;paprika&#8217; is derived from the Latin &#8216;piper&#8217; (pepper) through Slavic diminutive forms (&#8216;pepperke&#8217;, &#8216;pipeka&#8217;), and came into currency in 1775.</p>
