Are coriander and cilantro the same or two totally
different things? The short answer is: It
depends on where you are. They mean the
same things in some countries, while others treat them as two completely
different components. The Latin name for
the herb in question is Coriandrum sativum. So, as you can
easily see, this is where the word "coriander" is derived from. In turn, the word "cilantro" is the
Spanish translation of this word (coriander).
In the United Kingdom, the leaves
and stalks of the plant are called
"coriander" while the the seeds are called "coriander
seeds." Basically, the word
"cilantro" does not exist in the UK.
In the US, the leaves and stalks of the plant are referred to as
"cilantro," while the seeds are referred to as "coriander." In India, the herb is extremely popular in
cooking, it is referred to as something different-sounding
altogether—"dhania". Gordon N.

Cilantro/Coriander Leaf Substitute Replace
the coriander called for in the recipe with an equal amount of fresh parsley,
tarragon, dill or a combination of the three.
For maximum flavor, add your herbs to the dish just before serving. Cooking diminishes their flavor
significantly. These substitutes work
best when the cilantro is being used as a garnish. If the recipe you're working on calls for a
large amount of cilantro, consider making something else. Replacing the cilantro that's supposed to be
sprinkled on top of a finished dish is very different than replacing the
cilantro in a recipe like Chimichurri, where the finished product is almost 50%
cilantro. Dried coriander isn't a good substitute
for fresh coriander. It loses much of
its flavor when it's dried, and incorporates into the dish quite
differently. If you don't have any of
the suggested fresh herbs on hand, just leave the cilantro out. Your recipe should still taste great without
it. Coriander
Seed/Ground Coriander Substitute Replace
the coriander called for in the recipe with an equal amount of caraway seeds,
cumin, fennel or a combination of the three.

Charles
Kay Ogden (1889-1957) was a British writer and linguist who
originated Basic English, a simplified system of the English language intended as a uniform,
standardized means of international communication. In 1912 Ogden founded an intellectual weekly, The Cambridge Magazine, to
which Thomas Hardy, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, and other noted
literary figures contributed. In 1919 he
turned it into a quarterly and, with the literary scholar I.A. Richards, began
publishing preliminary sketches for a book on the theory of language, The Meaning of
Meaning (1923). In
this work he attempted to draw insights from modern psychological research to
bear on the linguistic problem of word meaning. The chapter on definition contained the germ
of Basic (short for British, American, scientific, international, commercial) English,
which took its final form in 1928.
His Basic Vocabulary (1930)
and Basic English (1930) were followed by The System of Basic English (1934). General
interest in Basic English did not develop until after 1943, however, when Winston Churchill, with the support of Franklin D. Roosevelt, appointed a committee to study
the extension of its use. https://www.britannica.com/biography/C-K-Ogden See OGDEN's BASIC ENGLISH Word List -

Palindromes are words or sentences that read the same
forward as backward. Examples of palindromic words are: kayak, racecar, deified, madam. Rotavator, redivider and Malayalam at 9
letters each are generally agreed to be the longest single word
palindromes. Malayalam is a language
used predominantly in the state of Kerala in India. The Romans used palindromes and one of the
most celebrated was found on a wall in the doomed city of Herculaneum. It
reads Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas and can be translated as ‘The sower, Arepo,
makes the wheel work.’ This is unusual
in that it works if the words are read vertically or horizontally in a
square. http://www.destination-innovation.com/never-odd-or-even-and-other-great-palindromes/
Semordnilaps (the
word palindromes in reverse) are words that spell other
words when spelled backwards (for example, star/rats, drawer/reward). https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-palindrome-1691560
The "Black Hole of Calcutta" was a tiny prison cell in Fort William, in the Indian
city of Calcutta. According to John
Zephaniah Holwell of the British East India Company, on June 20, 1756,
the Nawab of Bengal imprisoned 146 British captives
inside the airless room overnight—when the chamber was opened the next morning,
only 23 men (including Holwell) were still alive. This story inflamed public opinion in Great
Britain, and led to the characterization of the Nawab, Siraj-ud-daulah, and by
extension all Indians as cruel savages.
However, there is much controversy surrounding this story—though the
prison was very much a real location that was later used by British troops as a
storage warehouse. As a matter of fact,
no contemporary sources ever corroborated Holwell's story—and Holwell has since
been caught fabricating other incidents of similar controversial natures. Many historians question the accuracy, positing
that perhaps his account may have been a mere exaggeration or entirely a
figment of his imagination. Some posit
that given the dimensions of the room at 24 feet by 18 feet, it would not have
been possible to cram more than about 65 prisoners into the space. Others say that if several had died, all of
them inevitably would have at the same time as limited oxygen would have killed
everyone simultaneously, not depriving them individually, unless Howell and his
surviving crew had strangled the others to save air. The story of the "Black Hole of
Calcutta" actually could be one of history's great scams, along with the
"bombing" of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor, the Gulf of
Tonkin Incident, and Saddam Hussein's putative weapons of mass destruction.
Battling a swarm of fruit flies in your kitchen or bathroom? Get rid of them quickly with this simple,
homemade trap. 1. Toss out any overripe fruit. Then, pour a cup of apple cider vinegar into a
jar or small bowl. 2. Add a couple drops of dish soap to the jar. 3. Place the trap in the area where you've
seen the fruit flies, and wait for it to do its job. Fruit flies are attracted to the smell of the
vinegar, and will attempt to land on its surface. Since the dish soap breaks the surface
tension of the vinegar, the fruit flies fall in and drown. Erin Huffstetler https://www.thebalance.com/get-rid-of-fruit-flies-1388144 See also https://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Fruit-Flies
Nancy Jean Cartwright (born October 25, 1957) is an American
voice actress and comedian. She is known
for her long-running role as Bart Simpson on the animated television
series The Simpsons. Cartwright also voices other characters for
the show, including Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum, Todd
Flanders, Kearney,
and Database. Cartwright was born in Dayton, Ohio. Cartwright moved to Hollywood in 1978 and
trained alongside voice actor Daws Butler. Her first professional role was voicing Gloria
in the animated series Richie Rich,
which she followed with a starring role in the television movie Marian Rose White (1982) and her
first feature film, Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). After continuing to search for acting work,
in 1987, Cartwright auditioned for a role in a series of animated
shorts about a dysfunctional family that
was to appear on The Tracey Ullman
Show. Cartwright intended
to audition for the role of Lisa Simpson, the middle child; when she
arrived at the audition, she found the role of Bart—Lisa's brother—to be more
interesting. Matt Groening, the
series' creator, allowed her to audition for Bart and offered her the role on
the spot. She voiced Bart for three
seasons on The Tracey Ullman Show, and in 1989, the shorts were
spun off into a half-hour show called The Simpsons. For her subsequent work as Bart, Cartwright
received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in
1992 and an Annie Award for
Best Voice Acting in the Field of Animation in 1995. Besides The Simpsons, Cartwright
has also voiced numerous other animated characters, including Daffney Gillfin
in The Snorks, Rufus in Kim Possible, Mindy in Animaniacs, Pistol in Goof Troop, Margo Sherman in The Critic, Todd Daring in The
Replacements, and Charles "Chuckie" Finster, Jr.
in Rugrats and All Grown Up! (a role she assumed in
2002, following the retirement of Christine Cavanaugh).
In 2000, she published her
autobiography, My Life as a
10-Year-Old Boy, and four years later, adapted it into a one-woman play. She also co-produced the one-woman play In
Search of Fellini (2016). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Cartwright

today's date in 1970, a new chamber work by the American composer John
Corigliano received its premiere performance at a concert given by the Chamber
Music Society of Lincoln Center, the group that had commissioned it. The new piece, titled "Poem in October,"
was scored for tenor voice and eight instruments and was a setting of poetry by
Dylan Thomas, the great Welsh poet who died in 1953. Composers Datebook
