Terracotta, terra cotta or terra-cotta(pronounced [ˌtɛrraˈkɔtta]; Italian: “baked earth”,^[2] from the Latin terra cocta),^[3] a type of earthenware, is a clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic,^[4] where the fired body is porous. Terracotta is the term normally used for sculpture made in earthenware, and also for various practical uses including vessels(notably flower pots), water and waste water pipes, roofing tiles, bricks, and surface embellishment in building construction.^[5] The term is also used to refer to the natural brownish orange color of most terracotta, which varies considerably.

This article covers the senses of terracotta as a medium in sculpture, as in the Terracotta Army and Greek terracotta figurines, and architectural decoration. Asian and European sculpture in porcelain is not covered. Glazed architectural terracotta and its unglazed version as exterior surfaces for buildings were used in Asia for some centuries before becoming popular in the West in the 19th century. Architectural terracotta can also refer to decorated ceramic elements such as antefixes and revetments, which made a large contribution to the appearance of temples and other buildings in the classical architecture of Europe, as well as in the Ancient Near East.

In archaeology and art history, “terracotta” is often used to describe objects such as figurines not made on a potter’s wheel. Vessels and other objects that are or might be made on a wheel from the same material are called earthenware pottery; the choice of term depends on the type of object rather than the material or firing technique.^[6] Unglazed pieces, and those made for building construction and industry, are also more likely to be referred to as terracotta, whereas tableware and other vessels are called earthenware (though sometimes terracotta if unglazed), or by a more precise term such as faience.

M&M’s are “colorful button-shaped chocolates”, each of which has the letter “m” printed in lower case in white on one side, consisting of a candy shell surrounding a filling which varies depending upon the variety of M&M’s. The original candy has a semi-sweet chocolate filling which, upon introducing other variations, was branded as the “plain” variety. Peanut M&M’s, which feature a peanut coated in milk chocolate, and finally a candy shell, were the first variation to be introduced, and they remain a regular variety. Numerous other variations have been introduced, some of which are regular widespread varieties (such as peanut butter, almond, pretzel, crispy, dark chocolate, and caramel) while others are limited in duration or geographic availability.

Brewed coffee is made by pouring hot water onto ground coffee beans, then allowing to brew. There are several methods for doing this, including using a filter, a percolator, and a French press. Terms used for the resulting coffee often reflect the method used, such as drip brewed coffee, filtered coffee, pour-over coffee, immersion brewed coffee, or simply coffee. Water seeps through the ground coffee, absorbing its constituent chemical compounds, and then passes through a filter. The used coffee grounds are retained in the filter, while the brewed coffee is collected in a vessel such as a carafe or pot.

A parakeet is any one of many small to medium-sized species of parrot, in multiple genera, that generally have long tail feathers. Older spellings still sometimes encountered are paroquet or paraquet.

Phyllanthus emblica, also known as emblic,^[1][3] emblic myrobalan,^[1] myrobalan,^[3] Indian gooseberry,^[1][3] Malacca tree,^[3] or amla^[3] from Sanskrit amalaki is a deciduous tree of the family Phyllanthaceae. It has edible fruit, referred to by the same name.

Armour (British English) or armor (American English; see spelling differences) is a protective covering that is used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an object, individual or vehicle by direct contact weapons or projectiles, usually during combat, or from damage caused by a potentially dangerous environment or activity (e.g., cycling, construction sites, etc.). Personal armour is used to protect soldiers and war animals. Vehicle armour is used on warships and armoured fighting vehicles.

A second use of the term armour describes armoured forces, armoured weapons, and their role in combat. After the evolution of armoured warfare, mechanised infantry and their weapons came to be referred to collectively as “armour”.

Mitchum is a brand of antiperspirant-deodorant, later owned by Revlon. It was widely known for its marketing slogan, “So effective you can skip a day,” but that slogan hasn’t been used since 2007.

Mitchum is a brand that was purchased by the Revlon Corporation in the late sixties. Originally known as the Paris Toilet Company and then the Golden Peacock Company,^[1] the company carried a full line of cosmetics. Bill McNutt^[2] is credited with inventing the antiperspirant. Other products launched by Mitchum, include “Esoterica” which helped with removing age spots. Before the company was sold to Revlon, it had existed for two generations and was headquartered in Paris, Tennessee.

All versions of their product used to contain 20% of the antiperspirant Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly and the roll-on still does. In 2007, they re-branded their entire line with a new active ingredient, Aluminum sesquichlorohydrate 25%. They went on to release a Smart Solid line, a water-based solid with a differing texture from most deodorants, that contained the original active ingredient. A standard invisible solid was released with the old active ingredient as well, with the name “Mitchum Advanced Control”.

During the 1990 media controversy surrounding Arthur Scargill‘s handling of money donated for striking British miners, Mitchum used an image of the NUM leader, without his consent, under the slogan “Mitchum, for when you’re really sweating!”^[3] Scargill complained to the UK’s Advertising Standards Association who criticised the advertisement as “highly distasteful”.^[4]

Yuzu (Citrus junos, from Japanese ユズ or 柚子) is a citrus fruit and plant in the family Rutaceae. It is believed to have originated in central China as a hybrid of mandarin orange and the ichang papeda.

The yuzu is called yuja (from Korean 유자) in Korean cuisine. Both Japanese yuzu and Korean yuja are borrowings of the Chinese yòuzi (柚子), though this Chinese word now refers to the pomelo.

In speech pathology and medicine, nasoendoscopy is the endoscopic examination of the velopharynx, or the nose, often with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the nostril. It can provide information to evaluate speech and velopharyngeal function or dysfunction, as in diseases such as sinonasal carcinomas.^[1][2]

A gingersnap,^[1] ginger snap, ginger nut,^[2] or ginger biscuit is a globally popular biscuit based snack food, flavoured with ginger. Ginger snaps are flavoured with powdered ginger and a variety of other spices, most commonly cinnamon, molasses^[3] and nutmeg.^[4] There are many recipes.^[5] The brittle ginger nut style is a commercial version of the traditional fairings once made for market fairs now represented only by the Cornish fairin
