&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Moldy Cheese Day&lt;/strong&gt; Invites you to enjoy one of the many types of cheese that could not be made without mold. The cheeses featured include Gorgonzola, Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, and various blue cheeses. So, if you enjoy moldy cheeses, pick one of these varieties and share it with good friends and a glass or two of fine wine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El Día Nacional del Queso Mohoso,  esta celebración invita a disfrutar de alguno de los muchos tipos de queso que no podrían elaborarse sin moho. Entre los quesos que se ofrecerán se encuentran el gorgonzola, el brie, el camembert, el roquefort y los quesos azules. Así que, si te gustan los quesos con moho, elige uno de estos tipos compártelo con buenos amigos y una o dos copas de buen vino .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is evidence that people have been making cheese for thousands of years. Murals in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back more than 4,000 years are known to depict cheese-making. The cheese-making process was likely discovered by accident when people began storing milk in containers made from animal stomachs. The milk coagulated thanks to an enzyme known as rennet, which is present in the stomachs of many animals. Subsequently, it separated into curds and whey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Existen pruebas de que la gente lleva miles de años elaborando queso. Se sabe que en tumbas del antiguo Egipto hay murales de hace más de 4000 años que representan la elaboración del queso. El proceso de elaboración del queso probablemente se descubrió por accidente cuando la gente empezó a almacenar leche en recipientes hechos con estómagos de animales .&lt;br /&gt;La leche se coaguló gracias a una enzima conocida como cuajo, presente en el estómago de muchos animales. Posteriormente, se separó en cuajada y suero.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some facts you didn&apos;t know.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cheddar cheese is not naturally orange. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cheese is one of the most stolen foods in the world. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the 17th century, some unscrupulous merchants dyed cheese orange to make people believe it was of higher quality. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People who eat Stilton blue cheese have reported having strange dreams. - American cheese cannot be sold as &quot;cheese&quot; in the U.S.; it must be labeled as a dairy product or a cheese-based food. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Philadelphia cream cheese gets its name from a town in New York, not the city in Pennsylvania. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gouda cheese accounts for half of the world&apos;s cheese consumption. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wisconsin produces around 2.6 billion pounds of cheese each year. - Moose cheese costs more than $400 per pound due to the time it takes to milk a moose. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Edam cheese never spoils; it simply hardens. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scientists have created a cheese using bacteria taken from between human toes and from the navel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limburger, the smelliest cheese on the planet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Algunos datos que no conocías.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-El queso cheddar no es naranja por naturaleza.&lt;br /&gt;-El queso es uno de los alimentos más robados del mundo.&lt;br /&gt;-En el siglo XVII, algunos comerciantes sin escrúpulos teñían el queso de naranja para hacer creer a la gente que era de mayor calidad.&lt;br /&gt;-Las personas que consumen queso azul Stilton han reportado tener sueños extraños .&lt;br /&gt;-El queso americano no se puede vender como queso en los EE. UU. Tiene que estar etiquetado como producto lácteo o alimento a base de queso.&lt;br /&gt;-El queso crema Philadelphia recibe su nombre de un pueblo de Nueva York, no de la ciudad de Pensilvania.&lt;br /&gt;-La mitad del consumo mundial de queso corresponde al queso Gouda.&lt;br /&gt;-Wisconsin produce alrededor de 2.600 millones de libras de queso cada año.&lt;br /&gt;-El queso de alce cuesta más de 400 dólares por libra debido al tiempo que se tarda en ordeñar un alce.&lt;br /&gt;-El queso Edam nunca se estropea; simplemente se endurece.&lt;br /&gt;-Los científicos han creado un queso a partir de bacterias extraídas de entre los dedos de los pies y el ombligo humanos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limburger, el queso más apestoso del planeta.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The octopus is a strange and mysterious creature about which very little is known. These eight-tentacled animals have fascinated humanity for thousands of years, yet they have actually been on this planet for nearly 300 million years. These aquatic animals deserve a bit more respect, which is why &lt;strong&gt;World Octopus Day was created as celebration observed annually on October 8th.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El pulpo es una criatura extraña y misteriosa de la que se sabe muy poco. Estos animales de ocho tentáculos han fascinado a la humanidad durante miles de años, pero en realidad llevan en este planeta casi 300 millones de años. Estos animales acuáticos  merecen un poco más de respeto, y por eso se creó el &lt;strong&gt;Día Mundial del Pulpo, una celebración que se conmemora anualmente el 8 de octubre.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the exact date of the creation of World Octopus Day is unknown, we know it was the work of the digital magazine &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Octopus News Magazine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; This day coincided with Cephalopod Awareness Days. October 8th was chosen to show our appreciation for these eight-legged animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aunque desconocemos la fecha exacta de la creación del Día Mundial del Pulpo, sabemos que fue obra de la revista digital &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Octopus News Magazine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Este día coincidió con los Días de Concienciación sobre los Cefalópodos . Se eligió el 8 de octubre para mostrar nuestro aprecio por estos animales de ocho patas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some facts you might find interesting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Octopuses have three hearts, no bones, and can squeeze through very narrow spaces. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In unstimulating captive environments, octopuses can become stressed and resort to eating their own appendages. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Octopuses use tools to interact with their environment. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The octopus is an extremely intelligent creature. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Some octopus species live less than six months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Algunos datos que podrían resultarte interesantes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Los pulpos tienen tres corazones, no tienen huesos y pueden colarse por espacios muy estrechos.&lt;br /&gt;-En entornos poco estimulantes en cautiverio, los pulpos pueden estresarse y recurrir a comerse sus propios apéndices.&lt;br /&gt;-Los pulpos utilizan herramientas para interactuar con su entorno .&lt;br /&gt;-El pulpo es una criatura extremadamente inteligente.&lt;br /&gt;-Algunas especies de pulpo viven menos de seis meses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our &apos;Family Time&apos; to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting &lt;strong&gt;6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST&lt;/strong&gt;. We always try to have a little fun and and if you&apos;re paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn&apos;t all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it&apos;s about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro &apos;Tiempo en familia&apos; para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de &lt;strong&gt;6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST&lt;/strong&gt;. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seventeen million people worldwide live with cerebral palsy. It is one of the most common childhood disabilities, yet there is a clear lack of knowledge regarding its causes, even among members of the medical community. People with cerebral palsy face a higher risk of neglect, abuse, and in some instances even murder across the globe. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Cerebral Palsy Day is a significant occasion that affirms and celebrates the lives of people with cerebral palsy while also raising awareness of the needs and specialized services required for them to live.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; This day is observed annually on October 6.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;En el mundo, 17 millones de personas viven con parálisis cerebral. Es una de las discapacidades infantiles más comunes, y sin embargo, existe una clara falta de conocimiento sobre sus causas, incluso entre los miembros de la comunidad médica . Las personas con parálisis cerebral corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir negligencia, abuso e incluso, en ocasiones, asesinato en todo el mundo.&lt;br /&gt;El Día Mundial de la Parálisis Cerebral es una fecha tan importante, que afirma y celebra la vida de las personas con parálisis cerebral, y que también visibiliza las necesidades y los servicios especiales que requieren para vivir. Este día se celebra anualmente el 6 de octubre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;World Cerebral Palsy Day was launched in 2012 through a collaboration between the U.S.-based United Cerebral Palsy and the Australia-based Cerebral Palsy Alliance. This project gathered ideas from the cerebral palsy community to determine which technologies and products needed to be reinvented to potentially change the world for people living with cerebral palsy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El Día Mundial de la Parálisis Cerebral se lanzó en 2012 gracias a una colaboración entre United Cerebral Palsy, con sede en Estados Unidos, y Cerebral Palsy Alliance, con sede en Australia. Este proyecto recabó ideas de la comunidad de personas con parálisis cerebral para determinar qué tecnologías y productos necesitaban reinventarse para, potencialmente, cambiar el mundo para las personas que viven con parálisis cerebral.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that affects a person&apos;s movement and posture, and it is the most common physical condition in children. However, few people understand it in depth; here are some facts to make it better understood: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The motor impairment resulting from cerebral palsy can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A child with cerebral palsy is born in Australia every twenty hours. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term covering a variety of disorders. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In many cases, the brain injury that causes cerebral palsy occurs during pregnancy. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is currently no known cure for cerebral palsy. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cerebral palsy is a lifelong disability caused by an injury to the developing brain. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cerebral palsy typically manifests during a baby&apos;s first 12 to 18 months of life. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Of all children born with cerebral palsy, approximately 60% are born at full term and 40% are born prematurely.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La parálisis cerebral es una discapacidad física que afecta el movimiento y la postura de una persona, y es la afección física infantil más común. Sin embargo, pocas personas la conocen en profundidad, algunos datos que la harán más accesible.&lt;br /&gt;-La discapacidad motora derivada de la parálisis cerebral puede variar desde mínima hasta profunda, dependiendo de cada persona.&lt;br /&gt;-Cada veinte horas, nace un niño australiano con parálisis cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;-La parálisis cerebral es un término general que abarca una variedad de trastornos.&lt;br /&gt;-En muchos casos, la lesión cerebral que provoca la parálisis cerebral comienza durante el embarazo.&lt;br /&gt;-Actualmente no existe cura conocida para la parálisis cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;-La parálisis cerebral es una discapacidad de por vida debida a una lesión sufrida en el cerebro en desarrollo.&lt;br /&gt;-La parálisis cerebral suele manifestarse durante los primeros 12 a 18 meses de vida del bebé.&lt;br /&gt;-De todos los niños que nacen con parálisis cerebral, aproximadamente el 60% nacen a término y el 40% nacen prematuramente.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;National Manufacturing Day, celebrated on the first Friday of October, pays tribute to those who manufacture products in the United States. It is a day that demonstrates how competitiveness drives the U.S. manufacturing industry and how the sector forms a fundamental part of the country&apos;s economy. &lt;strong&gt;National Manufacturing Day was established through an official proclamation by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in 2012.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El Día Nacional de la Manufactura, se celebra el primer viernes de octubre, rinde homenaje a quienes fabrican productos en Estados Unidos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Es un día que demuestra cómo la competitividad impulsa la industria manufacturera estadounidense y cómo esta constituye una parte fundamental de la economía del país.&lt;br /&gt;El Día Nacional de la Manufactura fue creado mediante una proclamación oficial del gobernador de Nueva Jersey, Chris Christie, en 2012. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The proclamation declared that the manufacturing industry was a dynamic part of New Jersey&apos;s economy and integral to the state&apos;s quality of life and economic development. It also proclaimed that the manufacturing sector generated more than 254,000 jobs in New Jersey and contributed over $39 billion to the state&apos;s GDP. Two years later, in 2014, President Barack Obama declared it a national observance. This proclamation was issued on October 3, 2014, and called upon the American people to commemorate the day with activities and programs highlighting the contributions of U.S. manufacturers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Su proclamación declaró que la industria manufacturera era una parte dinámica de la economía de Nueva Jersey e integral para la calidad de vida y el desarrollo económico del estado.&lt;br /&gt;También proclamó que el sector manufacturero generaba más de 254.000 empleos en Nueva Jersey y contribuía con más de 39.000 millones de dólares al PIB del estado. Dos años después, en 2014, el presidente Barack Obama lo declaró día festivo nacional. Esta proclamación tuvo lugar el 3 de octubre de 2014 e instó al pueblo estadounidense a conmemorar este día con actividades y programas que destacaran las contribuciones de los fabricantes estadounidenses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For every dollar invested in the manufacturing industry, approximately $2.75 is reintroduced into the economy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The manufacturing sector is the eighth-largest segment of the U.S. economy. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manufacturers consume approximately one third of the country&apos;s energy resources. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manufacturers account for approximately two-thirds of private-sector research and development. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The majority of manufacturers in the United States are small businesses. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Over the next ten years, more than 4.5 million manufacturing jobs will be needed. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Productivity has increased by 250% over the last 33 years.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although CD sales saw a brief uptick in 2021, the format has been in steady decline since the early 2000s. This is partly due to how people consume music today. It is estimated that up to 85% of people stream music, which does not bode well for CDs. It is a shame, considering that the CD transformed society just a few decades ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aunque las ventas de CD aumentaron brevemente durante 2021, este formato ha experimentado un declive constante desde principios de la década de 2000. Esto se debe en parte a la forma en que la gente consume música actualmente . Se estima que hasta el 85 % de las personas escuchan música en streaming, lo cual no es una buena señal para los CD. Es una lástima, considerando que el CD transformó la sociedad hace apenas unas décadas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This observance is known as CD Player Day and is celebrated annually on October 1st—the day the first CD players became available in stores in 1982.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The history of CD Player Day James Russell is credited with the idea for the compact disc in 1965. He envisioned a music recording system that could replace vinyl records and did not require physical contact between the medium and the player. Initially, he failed to attract investors, but Sony and other companies recognized the potential and decided to license the &lt;strong&gt;CD-ROM&lt;/strong&gt; technology. These corporations further refined the product, and in 1978, Polygram (a division of Philips) selected polycarbonate as the material for CDs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta festividad se llama Día del Reproductor de CD y se celebra anualmente el 1 de octubre, el día en que los primeros reproductores de CD estuvieron disponibles en las tiendas en 1982.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La historia del día del reproductor de CD, Se atribuye a James Russell la idea del disco compacto en 1965. Imaginó un sistema de grabación musical que pudiera reemplazar los discos de vinilo y que no requiriera interacción física entre el soporte y el reproductor.&lt;br /&gt;Al principio, no logró atraer inversores, pero Sony y otras compañías vieron su potencial y decidieron licenciar la tecnología del &lt;strong&gt;CD-ROM.&lt;/strong&gt;  Estas corporaciones perfeccionaron aún más el producto y, en 1978, Polygram (una división de Philips) eligió el policarbonato como soporte para los CD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On October 1, 1982, Sony launched the first audio CD player. This initial player cost $900, and the discs designed for it cost up to $30. Initially, this put the product out of reach for most people, but as Sony and Philips built more factories, the price of CD players and CDs began to drop. The price of discs fell to around $20, and the cost of players also started to decrease. However, CDs would soon be used for more than just listening to music. The first CD-ROM was created in 1985, followed by the first CD-R in 1990. Microsoft released Microsoft Bookshelf in 1987. Throughout the 1990s, the use of CDs for music and computing continued to grow. However, this trend began to shift in the year 2000. Due to portable music devices like Apple&apos;s iPod and music streaming, CD sales began to plummet. Now, this technology is at risk of disappearing, just like cassette tapes...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El 1 de octubre de 1982, Sony lanzó al mercado el primer reproductor de audio CD. Este reproductor inicial costaba 900 dólares, y los discos diseñados para reproducirse en él costaban hasta 30 dólares.&lt;br /&gt;Inicialmente, esto hizo que el producto estuviera fuera del alcance de la mayoría de la gente, pero a medida que Sony y Philips construyeron más fábricas, el precio de los reproductores de CD y de los CD comenzó a bajar. El precio de los discos cayó a unos 20 dólares, y el de los reproductores también empezó a disminuir. Sin embargo, los CD pronto se usarían para algo más que escuchar música. En 1985 se creó el primer CD-ROM, y en 1990 el primer CD-R. Microsoft lanzó el Microsoft Bookshelf en 1987.&lt;br /&gt;Durante la década de 1990, el uso de CD para música e informática siguió en aumento. Sin embargo, esta tendencia comenzó a cambiar en el año 2000. Gracias a los dispositivos de música portátiles como el iPod de Apple y la transmisión de música en streaming, las ventas de CD empezaron a desplomarse. Ahora, esta tecnología corre el riesgo de desaparecer, al igual que las cintas de casete...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Coffee Day is a celebration of one of the world&apos;s most popular and widely consumed hot beverages.&lt;/strong&gt; It should not be confused with International Coffee Day, which is observed on October 1 and was originally established by the International Coffee Organization and launched in Milan. National Coffee Day is celebrated not only in the United States on September 29 but also in many other countries, such as Australia, Austria, Canada, Hungary, Iceland, and many more. Although little is known about the origins of this holiday, the history of coffee itself is much easier to trace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Día Nacional del Café, una festividad que celebra una de las bebidas calientes más populares y consumidas del mundo. No debe confundirse con el Día Internacional del Café,  que se celebra el 1 de octubre y fue creado originalmente por la Organización Internacional del Café y lanzado en Milán. El Día Nacional del Café no solo se celebra en Estados Unidos el 29 de septiembre, sino también en muchos otros países, como Australia ,  Austria, Canadá, Hungría, Islandia y muchos más. Aunque no se sabe mucho sobre el origen de esta festividad, la historia del café es mucho más fácil de determinar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to legend, it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia by a goatherd who noticed that the fruit of the coffee plant had a stimulating effect on his animals. So, he decided to experiment with them a bit, and voilà! coffee was born. He shared his findings with the local monastery, and before long, everyone was brewing a beverage made from the coffee plant. Coffee spread rapidly across the Arabian Peninsula, and by the 16th century, it was already common throughout Persia, Turkey, and Syria. Eventually, it reached Europe in the 17th century and the New World toward the end of that same century. Coffee beans are actually seeds. Yes, I know we all call them &quot;coffee beans,&quot; but that isn&apos;t technically correct. They are the seeds of cherry like fruits that grow on flowering shrubs. We call them beans because they resemble them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Según la leyenda, fue descubierto en las tierras altas de Etiopía por un pastor de cabras que notó que el fruto del cafeto tenía un efecto estimulante en sus animales.&lt;br /&gt;Así que decidió experimentar un poco con ellas, ¡y voilà!, nació el café. Compartió sus hallazgos con el monasterio local, y en poco tiempo, todos preparaban una bebida a base de la planta del café. El café se extendió rápidamente por la península arábiga y, para el siglo XVI, ya era común en toda Persia, Turquía y Siria. Finalmente, llegó a Europa en el siglo XVII y al Nuevo Mundo a finales del mismo siglo.&lt;br /&gt;Los granos de café son en realidad semillas.&lt;br /&gt;Sí, sé que todos las llamamos granos de café, pero en realidad no es correcto. Son las semillas de frutos parecidos a las cerezas que crecen en arbustos con flores. Las llamamos granos porque se parecen a ellos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coffee cherries can be turned into wine. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Only two U.S. states grow coffee. In the United States, only two states grow coffee. This is because coffee requires a very specific climate, so it is generally grown in regions near the equator. The two states that grow coffee are Hawaii known for producing Kona coffee and California. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brazil produces one third of the world&apos;s coffee supply. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kopi luwak is a very expensive coffee. Kopi luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. It is made from partially digested coffee cherries that have been eaten and subsequently excreted by the Asian palm civet. This coffee is produced primarily on the Indonesian islands of Bali, East Timor, Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi. Kopi luwak costs approximately $600 per pound. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Moderate coffee consumption is healthy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are thousands of coffee varieties; however, here is a list of our favorite coffee drinks:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Espresso Americano. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Caffè Mocha.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flat White.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Irish Coffee. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cuban Coffee. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Red Eye. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Viennese Coffee. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Iced Coffee.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Las cerezas de café se pueden convertir en vino.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Solo dos estados de EE. UU. cultivan café.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En Estados Unidos, solo dos estados cultivan café. Esto se debe a que el café requiere un clima muy específico, por lo que generalmente se cultiva en zonas cercanas al ecuador. Los dos estados que cultivan café son Hawái, conocido por producir café Kona, y California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Brasil produce un tercio del suministro mundial de café.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-El kopi luwak es un café bastante caro.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El kopi luwak es uno de los cafés más caros del mundo. Se elabora a partir de cerezas de café parcialmente digeridas que han sido ingeridas y posteriormente defecadas por la civeta de palma asiática. Este café se produce principalmente en las islas indonesias de Bali, Timor Oriental, Sumatra, Java y Sulawesi. El kopi luwak cuesta aproximadamente 600 dólares la libra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Red hair occurs naturally in only about 1–2% of the global population and in around 3–6% of people of Northern European descent.&lt;br /&gt;When compared to black hair which occurs naturally in approximately 75% of the world&apos;s population it is easy to see that redheads are something special. Throughout history, redheads have been idealized in various ways; they are often viewed as sensual or ethereal. This is likely why a day like Redhead &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Appreciation Day is so important. This occasion is celebrated annually on September 23rd.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El cabello rojo es algo que aparece de forma natural solo en aproximadamente el 1-2% de la población mundial y en alrededor del 3-6% de las personas de ascendencia nordeuropea. Si lo comparamos con el cabello negro, que se da de forma natural en aproximadamente el 75% de la población mundial, es fácil ver que los pelirrojos son algo especial.&lt;br /&gt;Aunque a lo largo de la historia las personas pelirrojas  han sido idealizadas de diversas maneras. Con frecuencia se las considera sensuales o etéreas.  Probablemente por eso un día como el Día de Apreciación de las Pelirrojas es tan importante. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta celebración se conmemora anualmente el 23 de septiembre.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there is one thing certain, it is that there are quite a few misconceptions about redheads. One of the most common is that the genetic mutation responsible for red hair originated in Ireland, Scotland, or Scandinavia. The gene originated in Central Asia. It involves a mutation in the MC1R gene that prevents the production of eumelanin, which protects against the sun and causes freckles, pale skin, and, of course, red hair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Si hay algo seguro, es que existen bastantes ideas erróneas sobre las personas pelirrojas. Una de las más comunes es que la mutación genética responsable de que sean pelirrojas se originó en Irlanda , Escocia o Escandinavia.&lt;br /&gt;El gen se originó en Asia Central. Se trata de una mutación en el gen MC1R que impide la producción de eumelanina, la cual protege del sol y causa pecas, piel pálida y, por supuesto, cabello rojo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Throughout history, red hair has carried symbolic connotations assigned by society. At times, it has been associated with evil, the supernatural, cunning, and promiscuity. It has also been linked to beauty and sensuality. While attitudes and perceptions regarding redheads may have shifted over the years, they stand out precisely because they are unique. &lt;strong&gt;Unfortunately, we do not know who created this observance or when.&lt;/strong&gt; It was likely established by admirers of redheads to show appreciation for their distinctive hair color, but that is all we can surmise about the day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lo largo de la historia, el cabello rojo ha tenido connotaciones simbólicas atribuidas por la sociedad. En ocasiones, se la ha asociado con el mal, lo sobrenatural, la astucia y la promiscuidad. También se la ha asociado con la belleza y la sensualidad. Las actitudes y percepciones sobre las personas pelirrojas pueden haber cambiado con el paso de los años, pero se las destaca precisamente porque son especiales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Desafortunadamente, desconocemos quién lo creó y cuándo.&lt;/strong&gt; Probablemente, fue una celebración creada por admiradores de las personas pelirrojas para mostrar su aprecio por su singular color de cabello , pero eso es todo lo que podemos deducir de este día.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Cheese Day is a holiday celebrated annually on September 20th.&lt;/strong&gt; It is a day to enjoy and appreciate &lt;em&gt;chile con queso&lt;/em&gt;—a side dish or appetizer made with melted cheese and chili peppers—commonly served in Tex-Mex restaurants across North America. Although there are many varieties of cheese, almost all of them are quite flavorful and are often used as a dip for tortilla chips. Of course, cheeses such as &lt;em&gt;Queso Blanco&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Queso Fresco&lt;/em&gt; need not be used solely for dips.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El Día Nacional del Queso es una festividad que se celebra anualmente el 20 de septiembre.&lt;/strong&gt; Es un día para disfrutar y mostrar aprecio por el chile con queso, un acompañamiento o aperitivo hecho con queso fundido y chiles, que se sirve comúnmente en los restaurantes Tex-Mex de toda Norteamérica. Aunque existen muchas variedades de queso, casi todas son bastante sabrosas y se suelen usar como salsa para mojar totopos. Por supuesto, quesos como el Queso Blanco y el Queso Fresco no tienen por qué usarse solo para salsas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They can also be used to make Mexican &lt;em&gt;elotes&lt;/em&gt;, in tacos or burritos, melted in enchiladas, or even to make macaroni and cheese. The possibilities are endless, and there is no wrong way to enjoy this cheese or this celebration. The indigenous peoples of pre-Columbian Mexico began making cheese from domesticated animals like cows and goats thousands of years ago. However, the concept of melting cheese did not emerge until the Spanish introduced it. That was when the first cheese recipes appeared, consisting of melting the cheese over an open flame and then mixing it with spices. Velveeta was invented in the early 20th century, and it did not take long before it was used to prepare a version of &lt;em&gt;chile con queso&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;También se pueden usar para preparar elotes mexicanos, en tacos o burritos, derretidos en enchiladas o incluso para hacer macarrones con queso. Las posibilidades son infinitas y no hay una forma incorrecta de disfrutar este queso ni esta festividad.&lt;br /&gt;Los pueblos indígenas del México precolombino comenzaron a elaborar queso a partir de animales domesticados como vacas y cabras hace miles de años. Sin embargo, el concepto de derretir queso no surgió hasta que los españoles se lo introdujeron.&lt;br /&gt;Fue entonces cuando surgieron las primeras recetas de queso, que consistían en derretir el queso sobre una llama abierta y luego mezclarlo con especias. A principios del siglo XX se inventó el Velveeta, y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que se utilizara para preparar una versión del chile con queso.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the years, people around the world have created their own versions of cheese, resulting in a vast number of recipes available online. The most common include Queso Flameado, Queso Blanco Dip, Queso with Chile, Poblano Queso Dip, and even Italian-style sausage queso. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fried cheese is a popular Latin American dish made by frying a firm, salty cheese. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the Philippines, &lt;em&gt;Kesong Puti&lt;/em&gt; is made from carabao (water buffalo) milk. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Mexican cuisine, &lt;em&gt;queso blanco&lt;/em&gt; is traditionally made from cow&apos;s milk, whereas &lt;em&gt;queso fresco&lt;/em&gt; is made from a blend of cow&apos;s and goat&apos;s milk.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a half of a decade ago (does that make it sound longer?) that this psychotic guy came through our legacy chain - #steem, and &lt;strong&gt;Hive&lt;/strong&gt; was birthed into the crypto realms. He thought it would be cool to rearrange and dissect it. People like @c0ff33a, @blocktrades, @guiltyparties and many others, moved quickly to thwart the would be disaster by forking from that blockchain and creating our new home - Hive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hive itself, has slowly but steadily, maintained a community driven experience for all of its users. Those experiences could be in the form of gaming, blogging or even just taking photographs or making videos. We have pretty much anything you could ever want in the social media sphere of the internet. What is it you &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to do? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe you want to just play games and perhaps earn a little for your efforts? Maybe you would like to passively build your portfolio by playing around in various liquidity pools? Maybe, you just want to find a place where you can connect with genuine people and make a few friends or even - become part of a family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;What is #thealliance?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Alliance is a Team&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thealliance/Eos2qekCyj9ZUAQpMQjyFtVaM4M3C5xTm4GAqrvBApFQxQ1jFtJWUp86FpD79YwBu8q.gif&quot; alt=&quot;workasteam.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;When The Alliance was first created, it was apparent, that to climb the proverbial ladder on this platform, one would need some help. One would need a team. And thus, The Alliance was hatched. Only, I didn&apos;t just want it to be a team. It had to be more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Believe it or not, The Alliance was one of the first actual communities on Hive, emerging into existence on the legacy chain - Steem, before communities even existed as a sub-menu on #peakd or #hiveblog. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have since, just as Hive has, evolved from having actual blogging classes and paid for bot voters to syndicates and discord bots to what we have now. All the while, there is one thing that has remained and will continue to, throughout the marathon we run with all of you dedicated enough to be involved. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Alliance is a Family&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/U37cChUfHk0&quot;&gt;https://youtu.be/U37cChUfHk0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes. A family. I felt a simple support system wasn&apos;t going to be enough. We had to have something that separated us (and still does) from other communities. Something that has carried into other ones as well. You can join our server. That doesn&apos;t make you family. You can join our trail. That doesn&apos;t make you family. You can even delegate to our primary curation account but again - that doesn&apos;t make you family. You can even do all three and that still won&apos;t make you family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What makes you family is the engagement. Being there. Showing you care about more than just a vote. Yes, we ask for delegations, but that is so we can help others. By helping others first, you then start to help yourself. Ever heard the term or phrase &apos;pay it forward&apos;? We do just that. Anyone on our trail or delegating to our curation account is also doing that and in doing so, expect(s) nothing in return. The return comes when the love is shown and grown beyond a monetary presence. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also strive to help others when we can. We have helped raise up dozens (if not more) of communities and initiatives on and surrounding the #hiverse. Credit given or not, people know. We are not affiliated with any particular sect or align ourselves with any governmental issues. We accept anyone for who they are and what they want to become. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;h4&gt;How To&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving forward, there will only be one way to join the family. We have had many a vote seeker, which is fine, but that is not what we are about. First, you will have to &lt;a href=&quot;https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh&quot;&gt;join us in the Castle&lt;/a&gt;. From there, you will be directed to a specific channel upon which, you will be directed back here to comment that you understand what The Alliance is. Then, as an associate, you will be allowed to speak/type in the Castle. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will then notice a &apos;getting to know you&apos; channel, where we will all do exactly that. Once we feel we know you well enough, you become a &apos;friend&apos; and can mingle in other parts of the Castle. If you have delegated to the family account (@thealliance) and shown you are willing to run this race with us, then we will see about getting you set up for our constant support. We want to help you, we really do, but you have to prove you are willing to help others and are really what the fam is about. #familyfirst &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;The Periodical Purge&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hive.blog/hive-123585/@thealliance/welcome-to-hive-we-are-5-today&quot;&gt;Read the full post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><dc:creator>thealliance</dc:creator><category>hive-123585</category></item></channel></rss>
