Nang Yai
''Nang yai'' ( th, หนังใหญ่, ) is a form of shadow play found in Thailand. Puppets are made of painted buffalo hide, while the story is narrated by songs, chants and music. '' Nang'' means "leather" ("leather puppet" in this case), and in common usage refers to a dance-drama shadow puppet show. ''Nang yai'', whose name specifically means "large shadow puppet", features life-size puppets, while '' nang talung'' (a similar tradition of shadow puppetry whose name derives from Pattalung, a southern city where the tradition has long been popular) features much smaller puppets. Both are particularly popular in southern Thailand. According to James Brandon, most scholars believe that ''nang yai'' came to Thailand via Java and the Malay Peninsula from India. ''Nang yai'' and ''nang talung'' incorporate various episodes of the Indian epic ''Ramayana'' (known as the ''Ramakien'' in Thailand). The art form's traditions originated around the beginning of the 15th century. ' ...

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, or nos, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula . At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidiser similar to molecular oxygen. Nitrous oxide has significant medical uses, especially in surgery and dentistry, for its anaesthetic and pain-reducing effects. Its colloquial name, "laughing gas", coined by Humphry Davy, is due to the euphoric effects upon inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is also used as an oxidiser in rocket propellants, and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. Nitrous oxide's atmospheric concentration reached 333  parts per billion (ppb) in 2020, increasing at a rat ...

Whipped-cream Charger
A whipped cream charger is a steel cylinder or cartridge filled with nitrous oxide (N2O) that is used as a whipping agent in a whipped cream dispenser. The narrow end of a charger has a foil covering that is broken to release the gas. This is usually done by a sharp pin inside the whipped cream dispenser. The nitrous oxide in chargers is also used as an oxidizer in hybrid model rocket engines. Nitrous oxide is a popular recreational drug, and whipped cream chargers are a convenient source of the gas. Among users, the chargers are colloquially called whippits, whippets, nos, nossies or nangs. The kitchen appliance that receives the charger is a whipping siphon. Description The cylinders are about 6.3 cm (2.5 inches) long and 1.8 cm (0.7 inches) wide, and are rounded at one end with a narrow tip at the other end. The chargers' walls are about 2 mm (about 1/16 inch) thick to withstand the great pressure of the gas contained within. Their interior ...

Currents (Tame Impala Album)
''Currents'' is the third studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala. It was released on 17 July 2015 by Modular Recordings and Universal Music Australia. In the United States it was released by Interscope Records and Fiction Records, while Caroline International released it in other international regions. Like the project's previous two albums, ''Currents'' was written, recorded, performed, and produced by Kevin Parker. For the first time, Parker mixed the music and recorded all instruments by himself; the album featured no other collaborators. After the release of his previous album, '' Lonerism'' (2012), Parker began work on ''Currents'', largely recording at his home studio in Fremantle. He engrossed himself with writing and recording, and in keeping with his reputation as a musical auteur, laboured over the details of each song, ultimately causing the release date to be delayed by two months. In contrast to the psychedelic rock sound of the project's prior wor ...

Naan
Naan ( fa, نان, nān, ur, , ps, نان, ug, نان, hi, नान, bn, নান) is a leavened, oven-baked or tawa-fried flatbread which is found in the cuisines mainly of Western Asia, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and the Caribbean. Etymology The earliest appearance of "naan" in English is from 1803 in a travelogue of William Tooke. The Persian word ''nān'' 'bread' is attested in Middle Persian as ''n'n'' 'bread, food', which is of Iranian origin, and is a cognate with Parthian ''ngn'', Kurdish ''nan'', Balochi ''nagan'', Sogdian ''nγn-'', and Pashto ''nəγan'' 'bread'. ''Naan'' may have derived from bread baked on hot pebbles in ancient Persia. The form ''naan'' has a widespread distribution, having been borrowed in a range of languages spoken in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, where it usually refers to a kind of flatbread ( tandyr nan). The spelling ''naan'' has been recorded as being first attested in ...

The true identity of the ''Maha Devi'' is a matter of dispute both in the chronicles of later periods, and amo ...
