Longan (Dec 25 2004 18:13 GMT) - (Nephelium longana, Euphorbia longana) Native to South East Asia, the longan is now cultivated as a commercial crop in Australia. A comparison with lychees is unavoidable as they are closely related and appear similar after peeling. Instead of the bright pinkish red, rough skin of the lychee, the longan's skin is smoother, more brittle and pale brown, but its flesh, not as white as that of the lychee, is every bit as luscious and, in most opinion, sweeter and more fragrant. The Chinese name of loong narn translates as "dragon's eye". Smaller than a lychee, it is also rounder in shape and as the shiny black seed shows through the translucent aril, one understands the aptness of the Chinese description. |

Аскар Акаев: "Мы не допустим цветастых революций" (Dec 25 2004 18:13 GMT) - Киргизия не допустит экспорта в страну "бархатных революций", заявил в субботу президент республики Аскар Акаев, сообщает РИА "Новости". "Мы не должны допускать таких сценариев противостояния в обществе во время выборов. Мы готовы всячески помочь международным наблюдателям провести выборы честно, открыто, а главное справедливо. Но мы против того, чтобы наблюдатели потом превратились в надзирателей, а тем более в организаторов "цветастых революций", - сказал Акаев, выступая в прямом эфире на государственном телеканале. По его словам, организаторами экспорта "оранжевых" и "розовых" революций являются политические силы Запада, которые хотят привести к власти в некоторых странах угодные себе силы. |
