তৃতীয় বিশ্বের পশ্চিমায়ন:

প্রায় দুই শত বৎসর আগে, দুটি দৃশ্যত স্বাধীন ঘটনা পশ্চিমা সমৃদ্ধির ভিত্তি স্থাপন করে; ১৭৭৬ সালে অ্যাডাম স্মিথের লেখা দ্য ওয়েলথ অব নেশন্স-এর প্রকাশনা, এবং শিল্প বিপ্লবের সূত্রপাত। বস্তুত, আকস্মিকভাবে দুটি ঘটনা পরষ্পরের সাথে আন্তঃসংযুক্ত ছিলো। প্রথম ছিল একটি বুদ্ধিবৃত্তিক অর্জন, আধুনিক পুঁজিবাদের সংজ্ঞায়ন। শিল্প বিপ্লবের মাধ্যমে আগ্রাসী উদ্যোক্তাযুগের সুচনা হয় যার বৈধতা কেবলমাত্র স্মিথই দেননি

Crème Dreams: 12 Odd & Awesome Oreo Cookie Flavors : [ By Steve in Design & Products & Packaging . ] Oreo cookies have been tantalizing our taste buds for a hundred & a half years. Not only are the iconic bite-size crème sandwich the most popular cookies in the USA today, they’re enjoyed around the world in a variety of occasionally awesome, often odd permutations. Here are a dozen of the awesomest and oddest. Candy Corn Oreo Cookies (images via: Chicago Tribune , Foodbeast , Beurrista and RadioNow 97.9 ) Just as television only came in black & white, Oreo cookies also once sported those two opposing non-colors.
