What is Genmaicha?

Genmaicha, which translates to "brown rice tea", is a tea of Japanese origin that combines green tea with roasted brown rice. Due to the rice popping from the roasting process, it is also sometimes known as "popcorn tea". Genmaicha was first created when rice was used as a filler to reduce the price of tea, and was originally consumed by the poor. It has also been known to be drunk for fasting purposes.

Due to the addition of rice, genmaicha has a stronger, nutty aroma compared to most teas. It's also noted for a shorter brewing time.

What happened to Pergament Home Centers?

Pergament Home Centers was a chain of home improvement stores in the New York tri-state area, with locations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Pergament began losing ground to the expanding Home Depot in the 1990s, which led to the company focusing its business in New York City and closing other locations. This strategy was not enough as Pergament Home Centers would close completely in 2001 and its inventory was liquidated.

Despite closing its stores, Pergament owned the land its stores were located on, and therefore were able to rebrand itself as a real estate business. The company, Pergament Properties, still operates today and works in the acquisition, development and ownership of retail shopping centers and commercial properties in 5 states.

Where is Bigelow tea from?

Based in Fairfield, Connecticut, the Bigelow Tea Company was founded in 1945 by Ruth Campbell Bigelow and is still owned by her family. Bigelow's most famous tea blend, Constant Comment, also ties into the history and founding of the company - "Ruth Campbell Bigelow had been a designer by trade. In 1945, inspired by an early Colonial recipe and dissatisfied with the commodity tea that was commonplace in the 1940s, Ruth focused her creative energies on formulating a better cup of tea in the kitchen of her New York City brownstone. After weeks of trial and error, blending black tea with orange rind and sweet spices, she emerged with the first cup of specialty tea in the country. Ruth shared her tea with friends and received many comments—in fact, 'constant comments.' Her new brew got its name, and the Bigelow Tea Company was born."

Bigelow also owns the United States' only working tea plantation, the Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island, twenty miles south of Charleston, South Carolina. Bigelow's teas are still blended in Fairfield.

Difference between Native American flute and Native American style flute

Native American flutes and Native American style flutes are the same instrument. The name difference is due only to the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, which prohibits non-Native Americans from marketing and selling arts and crafts products as Native American-made. Therefore, only Native Americans would be legally allowed to sell their flutes as "Native American flutes", while others generally sell them as "Native American style flute" to indicate that they're the same instrument, but not made by a Native.

Though the two names help indicate who made a flute, it should not be used to judge the quality and workmanship of the instrument. It is possible for a Native American to create a low quality flute, or a non-Native to create a quality one.

What is the minimum for free shipping on Amazon?

The current minimum order required for free shipping on Amazon is $49 for non-Prime customers. The free shipping minimum was originally $25, before Amazon raised it to $35 in 2013, and to $49 on February 22, 2016. Book orders are unaffected by this price hike, and require only $25 for free shipping.

The purpose for these free shipping price changes is likely due both to Amazon's desire to push Prime subscriptions - which offers free two-day shipping plus unlimited video streaming for a $99 a year - and their own shipping expenses - which grew 37 percent to $1.8 billion in 2015.

How many people are in Arcade Fire?

Canadian indie rock band has had many members over the years, so much that it's become a bit of a running joke. Currently, the band has six official members - husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, Win's younger brother (and Regine's brother-in-law) Will Butler, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara. There are also three violinists familiar to long-time followers of the band - Sarah Neufeld, who was formerly a full-time member of the band, and Owen Pallett and Marika Anthony-Shaw, both of whom were never actual members of Arcade Fire, but had spent significant time as touring members. In addition to Neufeld, there are seven other musicians who were once members of the band - Howard Bilerman, Josh Deu, Alan Lavian, Myles Broscoe, Brendan Reed, Dane Mills and Tim Kyle. During Arcade Fire's last tour for their album, Reflektor, they employed six touring musicians - Diol Edmond, Tiwill Duprate, Stuart Bogie, Matt Bauder and the aforementioned Sarah Neufeld and Owen Pallett. Touring members of previous tours include Colin Stetson, Kelly Pratt, Pietro Amato and Mike Olsen.

In the case of tea, it is also noted that the temperature and amount of time the tea was steeped in affects how much caffeine is leached into the water from the tea leaves.

What is Ariel Winter's bra size?

Ariel Winter's bra size was 32F before she decided to undergo breast reduction surgery at the age of 17, reducing it down to a 34D. The actress, best known for her work on ABC's Modern Family, opened up about the decision in an interview with Glamour magazine. "I went to a swimsuit store with my cousin a few months ago and couldn’t find a bathing suit that fit me. I really felt bad about myself. I didn’t feel happy. I just kept saying, 'What am I going to wear? There’s nothing for me to wear at the beach, at the pool.' I can’t go to a party with my friends and wear the same thing as them. I have to be completely covered up otherwise I’ll look a certain way that I’m not intending to look."

In the same interview, Winter discussed the physical pain caused by her size F breasts, which she's had since she was 15. "It was so painful. I had a lot of back problems. I really couldn’t stand up straight for a long period of time. It started to hurt so bad that I couldn’t take the pain. My neck was hurting so bad and I actually had some problems with my spine. I had been discussing my chest with doctors for many years, but when I finally said, 'I’m thinking of doing this,' he said, 'Your back is going to thank you so much.'"

What happened to HopStop?

Founded in 2005, HopStop was an online transit guide that offered users subway, bus, biking, taxi, train, and walking directions in real time. In addition to its website, it also had apps for Android, Apple and Windows devices. It was arguably the most popular digital transit guide in its heyday and was even named to Inc Magazine's top 100 fastest growing software companies in 2011.

HopStop was acquired by Apple in July 2013, who dropped support for Windows Phones days later, and then Android devices that September. These moves naturally removed a lot of HopStop's userbase. In October of 2015, Apple ended HopStop completely (both app and website) and instead used an iOS 9 update to supply Apple Maps with transit directions.

Are Deva Vegan Multivitamins good?

Deva's vegan multivitamins have received good reviews from many customers at retailers like Amazon, iHerb and Vitacost, scoring at least 4.5 stars out of 5 at each one. Deva multivitamins have also done well at Labdoor's laboratory tests, with a score of B. Though it ranked moderately at nutritional value and label accuracy (a problem that plagues many brands), Deva did score highly on product purity and ingredient safety, which are arguably more important to vegans.

Where is Stash Tea from?

Stash Tea was founded in Portland, Oregon and is currently based in nearby Tigard, Oregon. It was founded by renowned teamaker Steven Smith, who later founded Tazo after Stash was sold to Japanese tea company Yamamotoyama. According to Stash, the company name comes from folklore - "The company derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ship. The ship’s captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use. This supply was his “stash,” stowed carefully as his “private reserve.” Today, the term is still used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness."

What happened to HotBot?

Launched by Wired Magazine in 1996, HotBot was one of the web's most popular search engines through the late 90s. Acquired by search giant Lycos in 1998, it suffered from lack of development under its new ownership and quickly saw its market share fall. In 2002, HotBot was relaunched with the option for users to search either the FAST, Google, Inktomi or Teoma databases, and would remain a front end for other search engines for nearly a decade. During this time, its site design remained mostly unchanged and was more reminiscent of the 90s then the 2000s.

In 2011, HotBot was relaunched as a web portal, providing information such as news and weather in addition to search results. It was also updated with a new logo, mascot and design as part of the relaunch. This incarnation of HotBot only lasted six months and by 2012, it returned to being a search engine. HotBot still exists today as a front end for Bing.
