Bra, Piedmont
Bra (, ) is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Cuneo in the northwest Italian region of Piedmont. It is situated southeast of Turin and northeast of Cuneo in the area known as Roero. Bra is the birthplace of the feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero, politician Emma Bonino, and of the activist Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement and of the world's first University of Gastronomic Sciences, whose main campus is located within Bra's municipal boundaries at Pollenzo. Bra is also home to "Cheese", a biennial international festival organised by Slow Food which features the makers of artisanal cheeses from around the world. In 1997 the event attracted some 150,000 visitors. Among the structures in town is the intricately domed church of Santa Chiara by the late-Baroque architect, Bernardo Antonio Vittone and the church of St. Andrew, the facade of which was designed by the architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini, although not completed until two centuries later.

Lemuel Lawrence de Bra (December 10, 1884 – August 24, 1954) was an American author, mostly of short stories. While working for the Bureau of Internal Revenue and later the Secret Service in California, de Bra wrote adventure stories for boys as Edmond Lawrence, verse as L. L. de Bra, and grown-up stories, often about the Chinese in America, as Lemuel L. de Bra and L. de Bra. He also wrote non-fiction, often related to agriculture. He made writing his main career about 1922, when he moved to Florida.

Bra–ket Notation
In quantum mechanics, bra–ket notation, or Dirac notation, is used ubiquitously to denote quantum states. The notation uses angle brackets, and , and a vertical bar , to construct "bras" and "kets". A ket is of the form , v \rangle. Mathematically it denotes a vector, \boldsymbol v, in an abstract (complex) vector space V, and physically it represents a state of some quantum system. A bra is of the form \langle f, . Mathematically it denotes a linear form f:V \to \Complex, i.e. a linear map that maps each vector in V to a number in the complex plane \Complex. Letting the linear functional \langle f, act on a vector , v\rangle is written as \langle f , v\rangle \in \Complex. Assume that on V there exists an inner product (\cdot,\cdot) with antilinear first argument, which makes V an inner product space. Then with this inner product each vector \boldsymbol \phi \equiv , \phi\rangle can be identified with a corresponding linear form, by placing the vector in the anti-line ...

Braj Bhasha
The Braj language, ''Braj Bhasha'', also known as Vraj Bhasha or Vrij Bhasha or Braj Bhāṣā or Braji or Brij Bhasha or Braj Boli, is a Western Hindi language. Along with Awadhi (a variety of Eastern Hindi), it was one of the two predominant literary languages of North-Central India before the switch to Hindustani in the 19th century. Braj is spoken by people in the vaguely defined region of Braj (Braj Bhoomi) in northern India, which was a political state in the era of the ''Mahabharata'' wars. According to ancient Hindu texts such as the Bhagavata Purana, the Kingdom of Surasena is described as spreading through Braj (also known as Brij, Vrija or Vraja), where the incarnation of Vishnu, Krishna was born and spent his childhood days, according to tradition. This region lies in the Agra-Mathura- Hathras-Firozabad-Aligarh area & Etawah-Mainpuri-Auraiya area, and stretches as far as the environs of Delhi. In modern India, this area lies mostly in central western Uttar Prade ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Front-end Bra
A front-end bra (also known by other terms such as car bra, bonnet bra, front-end cover, hood bra, auto bra,"bra." The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English. 2009. Encyclopedia.com. (February 9, 2010). http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O999-bra.html hood mask, car mask, etc.) is a type of vinyl (usually black) cover that attaches to the front of a car or other vehicle to protect the bumper, hood, and sides of the fender from scratches. The inside of the bra is lined with a feltlike material. History Bill Colgan, founder of Colgan Custom Manufacturing, Inc. successfully operated a trim and upholstery business in Burbank, California, for fifteen years prior to creating the car bra business. The "Original Car Bra" was invented in 1961 when three German engineers from Lockheed walked into Bill's upholstery shop, asking Colgan if he could redesign a protective cover for their personal Porsches. The very first pattern was for the Porsche 356. The first order for the protect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Male Bra
__NOTOC__ Male bra – also known as a compression bra, compression vest, or gynecomastia vest – refers to brassieres that are worn by men. Men sometimes develop breastsCox, Therese Smith. (August 1, 2000) Charleston Daily Mail ''Men who develop breasts more numerous than people realize.'' Section: News; Page 1D. and the estimates of those with the condition are presented as a range "because the definition of gynecomastia varies and the method of surveying varies." Although there are options for treating gynecomastia, some elect surgery to reduce their breasts or wear a male bra. Male bras typically flatten rather than lift. Men who choose to wear a brassiere may broadly be divided into two categories, depending on whether the brassiere is worn primarily for utilitarian purposes, or as a part of cross-dressing. Some men who have large breasts as a result of obesity or gynecomastia may choose to wear a brassiere to provide support for their breasts and to flatten their app ...

Bra Cheese
The Italian cheese Bra originates from the town of Bra in Province of Cuneo, in the region of Piemonte. Production of Bra may take place all year, but it may only legally take place within the province of Cuneo. However, aging may also take place in Villafranca, in Province of Turin. The cheese may use either unpasteurized or pasteurized milk, often entirely cow's milk, but goat's or sheep's milk may be added in small amounts. It may be served as a soft or hard cheese There are many different types of cheese. Cheeses can be grouped or classified according to criteria such as length of fermentation, texture, methods of production, fat content, animal milk, and country or region of origin. The method most co ..., depending on the length of aging, from at least 45 days for soft cheese, to six months for hard cheese. Bra has PDO status under European Law.

Bra Sausage
Bra sausage (in Piedmontese ''sautissa ëd Bra'') is a sausage recognized as an Italian Traditional Agri-food Product (Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale, P.A.T.). The sausage is produced in Piedmont, exclusively in the city of Bra, Piedmont, Bra, by butchers associated with thConsortium for the Protection and Enhancement of Bra Sausage Origins The Bra sausage was once produced without using pork fat and was mainly intended for the Jewish community of Cherasco, which supplied itself with meat at the nearby market of Bra. As members of the Jewish religion, they were prevented from consuming pork-based sausages. A royal decree of 1847 acknowledged the Braidese custom allowing the butchers of the municipality to produce fresh beef sausage, which was prohibited in the rest of the country. Preparation The sausage is prepared with lean beef (70-80%) and pork fat for the remainder.Maurizio Bertera, "Dalle Alpi alla Sicilia C'è un pane e salumi per tutti", su ''Il Giornale'' 4 M ...
