- These true- and false-color images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite from June 15, 2002, show a broad view of the South American region known as the Pampas. The region is a large, flat, grass-covered expanse between the Andes Mountains to the west and the Atlantic coastal plain. In this image, the Pampas covers the bottom half of the image, and the difference between the two divisions of the Pampas are evident: to the west of the Parana River, which bisects the image from top to bottom, is the Dry Pampas, and to the east is the Humid Pampas. the region is home to Argentina’s ranching industry, and the “gaucho,” Spanish for “cowboy,” is as much a part of the cultural legacy there as he is in the American West.
- Paprika (Wikipedia)
Paprika (US /pəˈprikə/, /pæˈprikə/; UK /ˈpæprɪkə/, /pəˈpriːkə/) is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers. It is traditionally made from Capsicum annuum varietals in the Longum group, including chili peppers. Paprika can have varying levels of heat, but the chili peppers used for hot paprika tend to be milder and have thinner flesh than those used to produce chili powder. In some languages, but not English, the word paprika also refers to the plant and the fruit from which the spice is made, as well as to peppers in the Grossum group (e.g., bell peppers).
