シミット
Also known as semit, simeet, sameet, semid, gevrek, Turkish bagel
Simit is a circular bread, typically encrusted with sesame seeds or, less commonly, poppy, flax or sunflower seeds, found across the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and the Middle East, especially in Armenia, Turkey and the Balkans. Simit's size, crunch, chewiness, and other characteristics vary slightly by region.

Jupiter and Venus from Earth

It was visible around the world. The sunset conjunction of Jupiter (left) and Venus (right) in 2012 was visible almost no matter where you lived on Earth. Anyone on our planet with a clear western horizon at sunset could see them. That year, a creative photographer traveled away from the town lights of Szubin, Poland to photograph a near closest approach of the two planets. The bright planets were then separated by only three degrees and his daughter struck a humorous pose. A faint red sunset still glowed in the background. Jupiter and Venus are together again this week after sunset, passing within a degree of each other about two days from today.

シミット（スィミット、トルコ語：Simit)、 ゲヴレク（トルコ語：gevrek、ブルガリア語：геврек、セルビア語：ђеврек）、もしくはクルーリ（ギリシア語：κουλούρι）は、一般にゴマで覆われている円形のパンで、トルコやその他オスマン帝国配下にあった地域や中東で見られる。地域によって大きさや食感等の特徴は若干異なる。 イズミルでは、イスタンブールのものとはほとんど変わらないが、gevrek（=パリッとした物）と呼ばれる。一方、アンカラのものは他の都市より小さめでよりパリパリしている。
