Melange (fictional Drug)
Melange (), often referred to as "the spice", is the fictional psychedelic drug central to the Dune (franchise), ''Dune'' series of science fiction novels by Frank Herbert and derivative works. In the series, the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe is melange, a drug that gives the user a longer life span, greater vitality, and heightened awareness. In some humans, the spice can also unlock prescience, a form of precognition based in genetics but made possible by use of the drug in larger dosages. By far the most important of prescience’s functions is that it makes safe and accurate interstellar travel possible. However, melange is also highly addictive, and withdrawal is fatal. Harvesting melange is also hazardous in the extreme, as its only known source is the harsh desert planet Arrakis, where its deposits are guarded by giant sandworm (Dune), sandworms.

Wiener Melange
A ''Melange'' (or ' - "Vienna blend") is a specialty coffee drink similar to a cappuccino. The difference is that the ''Melange'' is made with milder coffee. At Cafe Sperl in Vienna, the ''Melange'' is half a cup of brewed coffee with half a cup of steamed cream, topped with milk foam. Nescafe, Mövenpick, Lufthansa Catering and Albert Heijn housebrand however serve Wiener Melange as coffee blended with cocoa – no matter whether foam topped or not. The English term "Cafe Vienna" and the French ''café viennois'' usually refer to '' espresso con panna'' – topped with whipped cream instead of milk foam. Ordering a ''Wiener Melange'' may yield the arrival of an ''espresso con panna'' even in Vienna, though this is properly called a ''Franziskaner'' (Franciscan friar). The reference to Franciscan friars parallels the term "cappuccino", similar to the Austrian coffee preparation or "Kapuziner", which derives its name from the brown color of the robes worn by Capuchin friars ...

Mélange (rocket Fuel Component)
In geology, a mélange is a large-scale breccia, a mappable body of rock characterized by a lack of continuous bedding and the inclusion of fragments of rock of all sizes, contained in a fine-grained deformed matrix. The mélange typically consists of a jumble of large blocks of varied Wiktionary:lithology, lithologies. Both tectonic and sedimentary processes can form mélange. Mélange occurrences are associated with thrust faulted terranes in orogeny, orogenic belts. A mélange is formed in the accretionary wedge above a subduction zone. The ultramafic ophiolite sequences which have been obduction, obducted onto continental crust are typically underlain by a mélange. Smaller-scale localized mélanges may also occur in shear or fault zones, where coherent rock has been disrupted and mixed by shearing forces. Large-scale melanges formed in active continental margin settings generally consist of altered oceanic crustal material and blocks of continental slope sediments in a ...

Chez Melange
Chez Melange was an American seafood restaurant and gastropub located in Redondo Beach, California, which closed on February 29, 2020. It was opened in 1982 and owned and run by Michael Franks and co-owner and head chef Robert Bell. History Chez Melange was originally located on Pacific Coast Highway and after the lease was up it moved to its new location in January 2009 on Catalina Avenue. Chez Melange ran three restaurants at the same Redondo Beach, Catalina Avenue venue, Sea Change, a sea food themed restaurant, Bouzy, a gastropub and The Oyster Bar. Robert Bell said when first meeting Michael Franks, "I remembered thinking, I don't want to work with this guy. I'm from Brooklyn, he's from London. He came from what I thought was an upscale upbringing, I was just off the line of being poor. He went through restaurant school, I barely made it through junior college. But we were both very driven, very passionate about what we were doing, and that's the only reason we got alon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
