Setem Permainan Tradisional Layang-layang

Permainan layang-layang, juga dikenali dengan nama wau merupakan satu aktiviti menerbangkan layang-layang tersebut di udara. Perkataan “wau” dikatakan berasal dari perkataan kerajaan Melayu Pattani (Thai) memandangkan negeri seperti Kelantan, Terengganu, Perlis dan Kedah menggunakan perkataan tersebut.

Perkataan layang-layang pula digunakan di kebanyakan negeri-negeri seperti di pantai barat dan selatan Semenanjung Malaysia seperti Selangor, Melaka dan Johor. Ini dapat dibuktikan menerusi catatan Tun Seri Lanang yang menyatakan bahawa Raja Ahmad bermain layang-layang bersama pemuda-pemuda serta kerabat DiRaja. Selain itu kemunculan nama wau juga dikaitkan bunyi yang terhasil daripada busur yang diikat pada wau. Apabila dinaikkan ke udara, daun ibus yang dipasang pada busur tersebut akan menghasilkan bunyi "wau" secara berirama.

Permainan wau diadakan sebagai hiburan untuk pelbagai peringkat umur. Permainan wau juga diadakan untuk pertandingan. Pertandingan yang melihat bentuk kecantikannya diukur dari segi keindahannya kepada bentuk, corak ciptaan, warna, keaslian ciptaan dan ukurannya.

The Clipper is a fast flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapped stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping.

Male and female. Upperside : ground-colour a bright bronze-green, the subhyaline white spots near the apex of cell in the fore wing more opaque, the broad discal band of large white spots proportionately more basal further from the termen and very irregular, the spots, especially towards the hinder part of the wing, more widely separated, the spot in interspace 5 more acutely triangular and smaller, the two spots above shifted obliquely inwards towards the costa, making the outer margin of the discal band angulate at interspaces 5 and 6. Hind wing: the postdiscal and sub-terminal markings broader and more diffuse than in P. gambrisius, giving a dark shade to the whole of the apical half of the wing. Underside pale greenish grey. Fore wing: the spots and markings except the basal black streaks as on the upperside, the groundcolour fading to an ashy grey towards the terminal margin. Hind wing similar to the underside of hind wing of P. gambrisius, but the discal transverse sinuous black line very broken and incomplete, the postdiscal, subterminal and terminal black markings somewhat better denned. Antennae black; head, thorax and abdomen bronze green, barred with black above ; beneath whitish.

Larva. Cylindrical; head and anal segment with short simple spines; segments 3 to 12 with longer branched spines, reddish brown in colour, those on 3 and 4 comparatively very long.

Setem Adenanthera Pavonena (Saga)

Pokok saga atau pokok tasbih (Abrus precatorius @ adenanthera pavonena) (bahasa Inggeris: Jequirity, Black-eyed Susan, Rosary Pea atau Indian Licorice) adalah sejenis tumbuhan legum yang mempunyai daun-daun pinat yang kecil. Bijinya banyak digunakan sebagai manik serta di dalam peralatan muzik. Bijinya amat beracun tetapi kurang berbahaya jika ditelan memandangkan biji saga mempunyai lapisan kulit yang tebal. Abrus precatorius dari buku panduan Medicinal-Plants karangan Koehler.

Toksin yang terkandung di dalam biji saga mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan sejenis ricin dipanggil abrin. Ia merupakan sejenis dimer yang terdiri daripada dua subunit protein, dinamakan jenis A dan B. Rantaian B berfungsi mengangkut abrin ke dalam sel dengan mengikat kepada beberapa protein pengangkutan ke membran sel, yang kemudian mengangkut toksin tersebut ke dalam sel. sebaik sahaja berada di dalam sel, rantaian A mencegah sintesis protein dengan menyahaktifkan sub-unit 26S di dalam ribosom. Satu molekul abrin boleh menyahaktifkan sehingga 1,500 ribosom sesaat. Tanda-tanda keracunan adalah sama seperti ricin, kecuali dos maut bagi ricin adalah lebih kurang 75 kali ganda daripada dos maut abrin. Abrin boleh membunuh dengan jumlah edaran kurang daripada 3 μg (mikrogram).

Biji saga sangat dihargai sebagai barang kemas asli disebabkan warnanya yang terang. Biji ketiga dengan hilum (kesan pemasangan) berwarna hitam, manakala yang lain pula berwarna merah terang, seolah-olah kumbang kura-kura. Pembuatan barang kemas dengan biji saga adalah berbahaya, dan sudah terdapat kes kematian akibat luka pada jari semasa menebuk biji tersebut untuk dijadikan manik. Walau bagaimanapun, biji saga sudah lama dianggap sebagai simbol cinta di negara China.

Setem Durio Zibethinus@ bunga durian

The durian(pronounced /ˈdʊəriən)is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species.

The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.

The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.

There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions. There are hundreds of durian cultivars; many consumers express preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher prices in the market.
