Just when we thought Avenue Q could be no better, some lovely little Word of Warcraft aficionado with wayyyyy too much time on his/her hands gives us this magnificent little video. What do you think about it? And what do you think about the Internet; what is it really for?
Odessa is the administrative centre of the Odessa Oblast in Ukraine. Located in the southern part of the country at the shore of the Black Sea, Odessa is a major seaport and has been so for a long time.
From 1819 to 1858, Odessa was a free port. On January 1, 2000, the Quarantine Pier of Odessa trade sea port was declared a free port once a gain. According to the declaration, it will remain a free port and a free economic zone for the coming 25 years. A free port has relaxed jurisdiction, typically in the form of favourable custom regulations and/or a lack of custom duties and transhipment controls.
The place where Odessa is located was once an ancient Greek colony, but during the Middle Ages the area became a part of the Kievan Rus. It eventually seized by the Mongols and incorporated into the Golden Horde, before the becoming suzerained by the Khanate of Crimea. When the Khanate became threatened by both the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire, the Odessa region was ceded to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Khan Hacie I Giray in an attempt to gain the support of Lithuania. It eventually became a part of the vast Ottoman Empire, but the area was captured by Russia during the Russian-Turkish wars. By the end of the 18th century, Odessa became Russian. During the Soviet Era, Odessa was the major port of trade for the USSR and also a prominent naval base.
This charming video was inspired by World of Warcraft, a multiplayer online role-playing game. When I feel down, I can always turn to this wonderful video and it will cheer me up in an instant. “Wizards Never Die”. I simply adore it; I wish may computer would wake me up every morning playing this video as loud as possible.
Nori is the Japanese name for various edible speceis of red algae form the genus Porphyra. The major producers and consumers of nori are Japan, China and Korea, but the habit of eating nori has today spread to many other parts of the world as well. Nori is for instance commonly used as a wrap for suchi and onigiri.
Red algae are not typically consumed fresh; they are instead dried and turned into thin sheets. The process actually resembles papermaking.
In Japan, it is common to toast nori before it is devoured. Toasted nori is referred to as (“yaki-nori”. If a flavouring mixture is added in combination with the toasting process, the result is known as “ajitsuke-nori”.
