Jestem

"Jestem" is a song sung, written and composed by Magdalena Tul, who represented Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Magdalena won the national final (Krajowe Eliminacje 2011) with 44.47%, a record in past years, leaving the second place with nearly half of her percentage. An English version of the song titled "First Class Ticket to Heaven" was announced as the version to enter Eurovision, but this decision was reversed and the Polish version competed. Later, another English version was released under the title "Present".

In Eurovision, "Jestem" placed last in the first semifinal, not qualifying for the final for the third consecutive year.

Gim (food)

Gim (Korean pronunciation: [ɡiːm]; Korean: 김), also spelled as kim, is the Korean word for edible seaweed in the genus Porphyra. It is similar to nori, a Japanese word for this seaweed and used in the production of sushi in Japan, while it is used for gimbap in Korea. Porphyra is also called laver in English.

History

The earliest mention of gim is recorded in the Samguk Yusa (hangul:삼국유사, hanja:三國遺事) a document created during the Goryeo era documenting the history of the Three Kingdoms Period of Korean history covering 57 BCE to 668. The Samguk Yusa contains passages that record gim having been used as part of the dowry for Shilla royalty. It is conjectured, however, that gim of this period was harvested from rocks and driftwood rather than being cultivated.

From the mid-Joseon period there are records of gim in 15th century documents Gyeongsangdo Jiri Ji(hangul:경상도지리지, hanja: 慶尙道地理誌) and Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam (hangul:신증동국여지승람, hanja:新增東國輿地勝覽). Gim is recorded as a regional delicacy.

Zoo

A zoo (short for zoological park, zoological garden, or animal park, and also called a menagerie) is a facility in which animals are confined within enclosures, displayed to the public, and in which they may also be bred.

The term zoological garden refers to zoology, the study of animals, a term deriving from the Greek zōon (ζῷον, "animal") and lógos (λóγος, "study"). The abbreviation "zoo" was first used of the London Zoological Gardens, which opened for scientific study in 1828 and to the public in 1857. The number of major animal collections open to the public around the world now exceeds 1,000, around 80 percent of them in cities.

Etymology

London Zoo, which opened in 1826, first called itself a menagerie or "zoological forest," which is short for "Gardens and Menagerie of the Zoological Society of London." The abbreviation "zoo" first appeared in print in the UK around 1847, when it was used for the Clifton Zoo, but it was not until some 20 years later that the shortened form became popular in the song "Walking in the Zoo on Sunday" by music-hall artist Alfred Vance. The term "zoological park" was used for more expansive facilities in Washington, D.C., and the Bronx in New York, which opened in 1891 and 1899 respectively.

Oregon Zoo

The Oregon Zoo, formerly the Washington Park Zoo, is a zoo in Portland, the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Downtown Portland, the zoo is inside Portland's Washington Park, and includes the 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge Washington Park & Zoo Railway that connects to the International Rose Test Garden inside the park. Opened in 1888 after a private animal collector donated his animals to the City of Portland, the 64-acre (26 ha) zoo is now owned by the regional Metro government.

A member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, it has species survival plans for twenty-one endangered/threatened species, among which are successful breeding programs for endangered California condors, Asian elephants, and in recent times, African lions too. (The latter was under recommendation by the AZA). The zoo also boasts an extensive plant collection throughout its animal exhibits and specialized gardens. During the summer it is host to a concert series, and in the winter produces ZooLights, a holiday light show. The Oregon Zoo is Oregon's largest paid and arguably most popular attraction, with more than 1.6 million visitors in 2008 to 2009.
