Ang Mo
''Ang mo'' or ''ang moh'' () is a descriptor used to refer to white people. It is used mainly in Malaysia and Singapore, and sometimes in Thailand and Taiwan. It literally means " red-haired" and originates from Hokkien, a variety of Southern Min. Other similar terms include ''ang mo kow'' (), ''ang mo kui'' (), ''ang mo lang'' (). Although the term has historically had some derogatory connotations, it has entered common parlance as a neutral term in Singapore and Malaysia, where it refers to a white person or, when used as an adjective, Western culture in general. Etymology and history The earliest origin for the term ''ang mo'' could be traced to the contact between Hokkien (Southern Min) speakers in southern Fujian with the Portuguese Empire and Dutch East India Company during the Haijin ("Sea Ban") period in the 16th and 17th centuries. One of the earliest known uses of the term in writing is found in the early 1600s Selden Map, which labels the Maluku Islands of Indon ...

Blueprint
A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets introduced by Sir John Herschel in 1842. The process allowed rapid and accurate production of an unlimited number of copies. It was widely used for over a century for the reproduction of specification drawings used in Architectural drawing#Working drawings, construction and industry. Blueprints were characterized by white lines on a blue background, a Negative (photography), negative of the original. Color or shades of grey could not be reproduced. The process is obsolete, initially superseded by the whiteprint#The_diazo_printing_process, diazo-based ''whiteprint'' process, and later by large-format xerography, xerographic photocopiers. It has since almost entirely been superseded by digital computer-aided construction drawings. The term ''wikt:blueprint, blueprint'' continues to be used informally to refer to any floor plan (and by analogy, wikt:blu ...

Textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia can indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information.

Immortality is the concept of eternal life. Some species possess "biological immortality" due to an apparent lack of the Hayflick limit. From at least the time of the Ancient Mesopotamian religion, ancient Mesopotamians, there has been a conviction that gods may be physically immortal, and that this is also a state that the gods at times offer humans. In Christianity, the conviction that God may offer physical immortality with the resurrection of the flesh at the end of time has traditionally been at the center of its beliefs. What form an unending human life would take, or whether an immaterial soul exists and possesses immortality, has been a major point of focus of religion, as well as the subject of speculation and debate. In religious contexts, immortality is often stated to be one of the promises of divinities to human beings who perform virtue or follow divine law. Some scientists, futurists and philosophers have theorized about the immortality of the human body, with ...
