True redaction removes the text and images from the file — not a black box on top. Plus real in-place text editing, fill + sign, reorder pages, and OCR.

Drop two versions of a contract or drawing set. Moved notes read as moves, changed values light up digit by digit, and hidden text is named.
LaunchSide-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Drop a Gerber ZIP, an ODB++ .tgz or an IPC-2581 .xml and inspect every layer — compare revisions, snap-to-pad measure, run DRC and preview the board in 3D.

Alcoholic drinks from Sub-Saharan Africa
Across Africa, honey is diluted with water and fermented into drinks of a few to a dozen per cent alcohol, often with a plant, root or palm wine supplying the yeast. This entry gathers those without their own page. The best-documented one, bessoudioury from south-eastern Senegal, is shown step by step; Ethiopian tej and Kenyan muratina have their own entries. Made in 4 steps over 2.1 days. The longest step, ferment and mature, takes 2 days (Cissé O.I.K 2018) and runs at 30 °C (Cissé O.I.K 2018). Yeasts brought in with the palm wine, 2.4 × 10^5 to 5.8 × 10^6 CFU/mL in finished bessoudioury and Lactic acid bacteria, 3.2 × 10^4 to 44 × 10^5 CFU/mL in finished bessoudioury do most of the fermenting.

Total time across the recorded steps: 2.1 days
What changes: Honey is stirred into an equal volume of water
Diluting lowers the sugar pressure that would otherwise stop yeasts from working. Other African meads use 2 parts honey to 5 of water (tej) or 1 to 3 (ogol). Output: diluted honey.

The base mead is honey, water and yeast fermented for weeks or months. These drinks take their yeast from what is at hand, palm wine or a prepared root, and some, like bessoudioury, are drunk after two days.
The low pH (about 3.6–3.8) and the alcohol of finished bessoudioury hold back most microbes; no moulds were found in the studied samples.
Every number is labelled with how it is known. How this atlas is made
Bessoudioury was described scientifically for the first time in 2018. Its name means drink (bessou) of honey (dioury).
