Traditional Yamal cuisine is an important part of national culture of Nenets, Khanty and Komi. Yamal is a hunting and fishing land so many dishes include meat, fowl and fish. Berries and mushrooms are also abundant; this accounts for the wealth of "gifts of the forests" on the Yamal table.

Nowadays, Yamal cuisine is renowned for diverse delicacies of Russian cuisine. Yamal hosts enjoy treating their guests with traditional Yamal cuisine and have hot tea which came to Yamal cuisine from Russia. Tea has become the national Yamal beverage, drunk to warm and soothe. Yamal is in northern Russia with frigid winters, so its cuisine should be nourishing to give the people energy to survive during the long winter time.

Wim Delvoye is a pig tattoo artist who is originally from Belgium, but relocated to China to avoid the EU's animal rights laws.[1] Wim Delvoye is known for tattooing 'pop culture' symbols directly onto live pigs, which he then exhibits them in galleries or on his Art Farm.[1] This is an unconventional form of pet tattooing, so has therefore provoked debate about the morality of this art form

The designs that Delvoye tattoos on pigs are heavily influenced by popular culture, for example, Louis Vuitton logos and cartoon characters.[6] Delvoye’s body of work titled Art Farm is one of his most well-known collections and is exhibited either as an installation of live pigs within a gallery setting, or just as flat pig skin wall hangings.[6] However, if one of the tattooed pigs pass away and are still completely intact, Delvoye stuffs the body and exhibits it as a sculpture.[1]

According to the principle of partus sequitur ventrem, which Virginia incorporated into law in 1662, children born in the colonies were assigned the social status of their mother, regardless of their father's ethnicity or citizenship. This meant the children of enslaved African or African-American women were born into slavery. But it also meant the children of free white or mulatto women, even if fathered by enslaved African men, were born free.
