Why doesn't the shelf come off?
The shelf doesn't come off because it is securely attached to the wall or the furniture it is a part of. It may be fixed in place with screws, brackets, or other hardware to ensure stability and prevent it from accidentally falling or being knocked off. Additionally, the shelf may be designed to be a permanent fixture, rather than a removable or adjustable component of the furniture.

How do patchwork religion and off-the-shelf religion differ?
Patchwork religion refers to the practice of creating a personalized belief system by combining elements from different religious traditions, while off-the-shelf religion involves adhering to a pre-established set of beliefs and practices within a single religious tradition. Patchwork religion allows individuals to tailor their spirituality to their own preferences and experiences, while off-the-shelf religion may provide a more structured and cohesive framework for belief and practice. Additionally, patchwork religion may involve a more eclectic and individualized approach to spirituality, while off-the-shelf religion often involves adherence to established doctrines and rituals within a specific religious community.

How long is a Kombucha SCOBY (culture) shelf-stable?
A Kombucha SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) is typically shelf-stable for a few weeks to a few months when stored properly. It can be stored in a cool, dark place in a sealed container with some of the kombucha liquid it was cultured in. However, it is best to use the SCOBY within a few weeks to ensure its viability and effectiveness in fermenting new batches of kombucha. If stored for longer periods, the SCOBY may lose its potency and may not produce the desired fermentation results.

Goa’s Bom Jesus as Visual Culture : The Basilica’s Architecture, Image, History and Identity
This book chronicles the visual history of the Basilica of Bom Jesus, one of the longest-surviving churches from Goa’s Portuguese colonial era.In the sixteenth century, this baroque church in Old Goa was constructed to house the sacred relics of St.Francis Xavier and is emblematic of Goa Dourada or Golden Goa. Despite their early modern origins, monuments like the Basilica continue to influence visual culture that pertains to Goa.Accordingly, this book uncovers the traces of architectural images of Goa’s sixteenth- and seventeenth-century monuments and conducts a genealogical study of how uses of religious architecture shift over time.Thus, even as the Basilica originally functioned to portray or recall a grand empire by evoking the notion of Goa Dourada, its iconicity has been employed in marking Goa’s difference from the rest of India thereafter.By employing an analysis of historical texts, illustrations, photography, film, and pageantry, this volume demonstrates how the image of the Basilica has been employed to create a discourse on Goan identity.In fact, right from the colonial period, when Goa was heralded as the Rome of the East, to the post-Portuguese period, when Goa became an idyllic destination for leisure tourism, architectural images of Bom Jesus have been central in shaping Goa’s identity. Goa’s Bom Jesus as Visual Culture will be useful to students and educators in the fields of architecture, history, anthropology, sociology, history of architecture, and colonial/postcolonial studies.Finally, the long history of a single monument that the book documents highlights how Goans have been shaping their unique culture.At the same time as Goans imbibed Portuguese and other European influences, they also domesticated and remade such colonial heritage in South Asian fashion and, in turn, contributed to global aesthetics.

How is the shelf tilted?
The shelf is tilted at an angle, with one side higher than the other. This creates a sloping surface where items placed on the shelf may slide or roll towards the lower end. The tilt of the shelf allows for better visibility and access to the items stored on it, making it easier to see and reach objects without having to bend down or strain.
-
How is the shelf inclined?
The shelf is inclined at an angle of approximately 30 degrees from the horizontal. This means that the shelf is slanted or tilted upwards from one end to the other. The incline allows objects placed on the shelf to stay in place without sliding off.

Can a refrigerated shelf also be called a freezer shelf?
No, a refrigerated shelf cannot be called a freezer shelf. A refrigerated shelf is designed to maintain a temperature above freezing, typically between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit, to keep perishable items fresh. On the other hand, a freezer shelf is specifically designed to maintain a temperature below freezing, typically around 0 degrees Fahrenheit, to preserve food by freezing it. Therefore, the two serve different purposes and cannot be used interchangeably.
