The traditional three-day 'Melon Festival' in Khorezm attracted over a million visitors from around the world. The main achievement of the event was its official inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records because participants were able to taste approximately 250 different varieties of melons.
During the three days, Khiva was filled with an atmosphere of celebration, harmoniously combining elements of national culture, traditional crafts, modern scientific achievements, and agricultural customs. Special pavilions decorated with agricultural products and local artisans' works were set up along the tourist alley stretching from the railway station to Ichan Kala.
The festival served as a platform not only for farmers. Scientists from Urgench State University presented more than fifty varieties, including new developments intended for export. Furthermore, researchers are actively working on methods to process all parts of the melon—flesh, seeds, peel, and stems. Various products are made from these components, including sweets, oils, aromatic substances, fish feed, and medicines.
For festival participants, the 'Ichan Kala' museum-reserve prepared a special book titled 'Khorezm Melons.' This publication is available in Uzbek, Russian, and English and contains information about hundreds of presented varieties, as well as QR codes for virtual visits to the orchards.
The event concluded with a large-scale gala concert featuring both Uzbek and international performers. However, the key result of the festival was establishing Khiva's world record for the number of melon varieties displayed for tasting. It is worth noting that previously, an entry was made in the Guinness Book of Records for the mass performance of the famous 'Andijan Polka.'
It is possible to access Instagram without needing to enter the password if a temporary link is requested and sent directly to the email address registered in the profile. This procedure allows access both on mobile phones and computers, eliminating the need to enter conventional codes.
This method differs from the standard Instagram password recovery process. While recovery requires creating a new access key, using the email login link provides immediate and specific access without modifying existing credentials.
Another way to log into Instagram without using passwords is through integration with Facebook, provided both accounts are previously connected in the Meta Accounts Center. To activate this feature, the user must open the Facebook app, navigate to the Meta Accounts Center, and select the 'Log in with account' option.
Next, it is necessary to activate the setting 'Allow all accounts to be used for login' to unify access. This way, when starting the Instagram app or website, you just need to click 'Continue as [Username]' to authorize direct login.
It is important to note that, unlike the email method, it is not possible to log into Instagram via an SMS link, as this option is only intended for sending the two-factor authentication code. The message received on the phone serves exclusively to confirm the user's identity and reset the password registered on the platform.
If access is lost and there is no associated email or phone number, nor a linked Facebook profile, the only solution to recover the account is to contact the application support to prove identity. By choosing the help option on the Instagram login screen, the user must provide a new contact method and record a facial verification video (video selfie). After evaluation by the security team, the system will send the necessary instructions to establish new access.
Casa Sobre as Colinas (House Over The Hills), designed by Diogo Aguiar Studio, is a single-family residence located in the Porto Mountains. This construction was developed using a modular wooden system and has a southwest orientation.
The house's design aims to replicate the appearance of the distant mountains through a sophisticated geometric composition. This composition uses identical volumes arranged with inclined planes in various directions.
The initial architectural scope planned a house with three bedrooms, structured into five modules. Additionally, three more autonomous modules were incorporated, which offer direct external access, thus ensuring greater functional adaptability over time.
