Bulk LPG is packed in LPG cylinders in bottling plants. IOCL currently has 91 bottling plants in the country to do such bottling. In a bottling plant, bulk LPG is received from the sources through pipelines, by road or by rail. This is then stored in the vessels and then filled in cylinders using sophisticated filling machines called Carousals. The world’s highest LPG bottling plant – situated 3500 metres above sea level – is the Indane plant at Leh.

Described as an "urban amusement center", Wonder Eggs was the first amusement park operated by a video game company. In addition to Galaxian3 and The Tower of Druaga, the park featured carnival games, carousals, motion simulators, and Fighter Camp, the first flight simulator available to the public. The park saw regularly high attendance numbers; 500,000 visitors attended in its first few months of operation and over one million by the end of the year. Namco's foray in the amusement park business was in response to its high net income and annual revenue from the end of its fiscal year.

The Christian writer Eusebius claims that Maximinus was consumed by avarice and superstition. He also allegedly lived a highly dissolute lifestyle: > And he went to such an excess of folly and drunkenness that his mind was > deranged and crazed in his carousals; and he gave commands when intoxicated > of which he repented afterward when sober. He suffered no one to surpass him > in debauchery and profligacy, but made himself an instructor in wickedness > to those about him, both rulers and subjects. He urged on the army to live > wantonly in every kind of revelry and intemperance, and encouraged the > governors and generals to abuse their subjects with rapacity and > covetousness, almost as if they were rulers with him.

The name Czorneboh as the name of the highest mountain range between the municipalities of Cunewalde and Hochkirch, formerly known as Schleifberg or Praschwiza, is probably an 18th century invention. It starts with the mention of Helmold of Bozow in the Chronica Slavorum around 1168, in which he tells about the wealth of holy groves and gods among Slavs. In one fragment he writes: „Also, the Slavs have a strange delusion. At their feasts and carousals, they pass about a bowl over which they utter words, I should not say of consecration but of execration, in the name of two gods—of the good one, as well as of the bad one—professing that all propitious fortune is arranged by the good god, adverse, by the bad god. Hence, also, in their language they call the bad god Diabol, or Zcerneboch, that is, the black god”.
