2242 Balaton
4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. Evolution of the Hindu-Arabic digit Brahmic numerals represented 1, 2, and 3 with as many lines. 4 was simplified by joining its four lines into a cross that looks like the modern plus sign. The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve. The Europeans dropped the finishing curve and gradually made the digit less cursive, ending up with a digit very close to the original Brahmin cross. While the shape of the character for ...

List Of Cheeses
This is a list of cheeses by place of origin. Cheese is a milk-based food that is produced in wide-ranging flavors, textures, and forms. Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and aging. Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses, such as Red Leicester, is normally formed from adding annatto. While most current varieties of cheese may be traced to a particular locale, or culture, within a single country, some have a more diffuse origin, and cannot be considered to have originated in a particular place, but are associated with a whole region, such as queso blanco in Latin America. Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. There is no conclusive evidence indicating wh ...

Balaton Cherry
The Balaton cherry is a cultivar of sour cherry (''Prunus cerasus'') native to Hungary, where it was originally named ''Újfehértói Fürtös''. There are also some individual named high-performance clones that have been selected from this genetically more diverse variety, for example the "Kindelbrück". Balaton was introduced to the United States in the 1980s and is now grown there commercially. Extremely high yields, suitability for mechanical harvesting and positive fruit characteristics make for a commercially interesting crop. The fruit is particularly suitable for the fresh market, but also for processing (which is much more common with sour cherrieshttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Geza-Bujdoso/publication/318828080_Cherry_production/links/5b9a18d392851c4ba8181be6/Cherry-production.pdf).
