Overview and classification of Romanian-Germans The Germans of Romania (or Romanian-Germans) are not a single, unitary, homogeneous group, but rather a series of various ...

Timotei Cipariu High School
Timotei is a shampoo brand owned by Unilever. The name Timotei comes from the Finnish word for a wild grass called timothy (''timotei'' in Finnish). The Timotei brand was conceived and designed by Lintas Helsinki in Finland. Timotei shampoo was launched in the early 1980s, but some countries only sold Timotei for a short period. The tagline was 'So mild you can wash your hair as often as you like'. Media The early 1990s rock band Nelson were derisively nicknamed "the Timotei twins" by the British magazine ''Kerrang!'' for their waist-length blond hair. In the episode "Parade" of the 1990s BBC comedy TV series ''Bottom'', Richie (Rik Mayall) attempts to chat up a barmaid (Julia Sawalha) by asking her if she uses Timotei. Timotei was featured in the Japanese anime ''Lucky Star'', episode 6. The character Konata Izumi jokingly makes a reference to a Timotei commercial, and is disappointed with her friends' confusion, contrary to Yui's reaction. In episode 6 of the BBC series ' ...

Roma In Romania
Romani people (Roma; Romi, traditionally '' Țigani'', (often called "Gypsies" though this term is considered a slur) constitute one of Romania's largest minorities. According to the 2011 census, their number was 621.573 people or 3.3% of the total population, being the second-largest ethnic minority in Romania after Hungarians. There are different estimates about the size of the total population of people with Romani ancestry in Romania, varying from 4.6 per cent to over 10 percent of the population, because many people of Romani descent do not declare themselves Romani. For example, the Council of Europe estimates that approximately 1.85 million Roma live in Romania, a figure equivalent to 8.32% of the population. Origins The Romani people originate from northern India, presumably from the northwestern Indian regions such as Rajasthan and Punjab. The linguistic evidence has indisputably shown that roots of Romani language lie in India: the language has grammatical characteri ...
