Yazidis


[...] Para além de adorarem anjos e de se baptizarem numa fonte, os yazidis também cozem ovos que às vezes pintam com cores diferentes e espalham por cima das portas, em casa ou no templo de Lalish. "Toda a vida vem de ovos. Quando cozemos os ovos, estamos a celebrar a vida", explica Shahwan, no pátio largo que antecede a entrada na sala maior do templo, a tal que tem uma porta com uma serpente negra à direita. E um degrau, que não pode ser pisado ao entrar. "É preciso saltar o degrau, em sinal de respeito." [...]

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos rancheros é um pequeno-almoço tradicional mexicano com raízes nos ranchos mexicanos. O prato era tradicionalmente servido ao pequeno-almoço a meio da manhã ou ao almoço, aos trabalhadores do campo.

A versão básica dos Ovos Rancheiros consiste em Tortilhas de milho ligeiramente fritas, ovos fritos com molho de tomate e pimentos. Os ovos são muitas vezes acompanhados por fatias de abacate, batatas fritas e pimentos extra picantes.

Ostrich Egg Vessel

From South Africa
Collected by Edward John Dunn in 1872
Given to the Museum in 1936
Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford University

In South Africa, ostrich eggs have been used as containers for some 15,000 years, primarily for storing and carrying water. A small hole is drilled in the egg, the inside cleaned out, and the shell decorated. When it is filled with water, the hole is plugged with grass or sealed with a limpet shell. This ostrich egg shell has been engraved with figures of an antelope and an ostrich. It was collected in 1872.

Egg Code for Ice


Since ice is a global phenomenon, ice information must be freely exchanged between countries throughout the world. This requires coordination and standardization of practices and procedures and the efficient exchange of ice data. The WMO (World Meteorological Organization) has undertaken these tasks, including promotion of further application of ice information services to shipping, marine resource activities and other human safety activities. The results have been international codes and standardized nomenclature and symbology.

The basic data concerning concentrations, stages of development (age) and form (floe size) of ice are contained in a simple oval form. A maximum of three ice types is described within the oval. This oval and the coding associated with it, are referred to as the "Egg Code".

The Egg Code conforms to international convention and shall be used in coding all visual sea ice and lake ice observations without exception.

From MANICE, the Manual of Standard Procedures for Observing and Reporting Ice Conditions. It describes the procedures for observing, recording, and reporting ice conditions.
