...APPT Tostones, twice-fried green plantains, are a traditional side dish in many countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. They are a great Paleo/Real Food safe starch option when cooked in a healthy fat like lard, bacon fat, coconut oil, ghee, or palm shortening. They are a versatile side dish that goes well with just about anything, from eggs, to meats, or just paired with avocado slices as a quick snack. This recipe is gluten-free, paleo, primal, and is suitable for the athlete modification of the 21-Day Sugar Detox or as a starch option on a Whole30. This is a picture tutorial recipe with a printable version at the end of the post. Also at the end of the post is a list of where to buy the tools and ingredients so you can make this recipe yourself at home. Enjoy! Ingredients: * 2 green plantains (check your local Hispanic market, farmer's market, and sometimes chain grocery store to find them) * cooking fat (coconut oil**, lard, bacon** grease, ghee**, or palm shortening**) * tostonera (tostone press)** or meat tenderizing mallet with flat edge** * coarse sea salt** * chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish First, you have to peel the plantains. They are NOT like bananas. You'll just make a mess and frustrate yourself if you try to peel them like a banana. Cut off both tips and then slice the peel down the length of the plantain on one or two sides. Then, you can remove the peel, but know that it will usually come off in pieces. Slice...

...Describe the work of Gauss, Bolyai and Lobachevsky on non-Euclidean geometry, including mathematical details of some of their results. What impact, if any, did the rise of non-Euclidean geometry have on subsequent developments in mathematics? Word Count: 1912 Euclidean geometry is the everyday “flat” or parabolic geometry which uses the axioms from Euclid’s book The Elements. Non-Euclidean geometry includes both hyperbolic and elliptical geometry [W5] and is a construction of shapes using a curved surface rather than an n-dimensional Euclidean space. The main difference between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry is the nature of parallel lines. There has been much investigation into the first five of Euclid’s postulates; mainly into proving the formulation of the fifth one, the parallel postulate, is totally independent of the previous four. The parallel postulate states “that, if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.” [W1] Many mathematicians have carried out extensive work into proving the parallel postulate and into the development of non-Euclidean geometry and the first to do so were the mathematicians Saccheri and Lambert. Lambert based most of his developments on previous results and conclusions by Saccheri. Saccheri looked at the three possibilities of the sum of the...

...sixty proofs of the Butterfly Theorem, including the synthetical proof, area proof, trigonometric proof, analytic proof and so on. And based on the extension and evolution of the Butterfly Theorem, people can get various interesting and beautiful results. The definition of the Butterfly Theorem is here below: “Let M be the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, through which two other chords AB and CD are drawn; AD cuts PQ at X and BC cuts PQ at Y. Prove that M is also the midpoint of XY.” (Bogomolny) This is the most accurate definition currently. However, Butterfly Theorem has experienced some changes and developments. The first statement of the Butterfly Theorem appeared in the early 17th century. In 1803, a Scottish mathematician, William Wallace, posed the problem of the Butterfly Theorem in the magazine The Gentlemen’s Mathematical Companion. Here is the original problem below: “If from any two points B, E, in the circumference of a circle given in magnitude and position two right lines BCA, EDA, be drawn cutting the circle in C and D, and meeting in A; and from the point of intersection A to the centre of the circle AO be drawn, and the points E, C; B, D joined, and produced to meet an indefinite perpendicular erected at A on AO; then will FA be always equal AF. Required the demonstration?”(Bogomolny) (Figures of W Wallace’s question) Soon afterwards, there were three solutions published in 1804. And in 1805, William Herschel, a British...

...factors may influence the cutting service: * Head and face shape- These factors may influence the cutting service because prior to cutting a customer’s hair you must ensure that you choose a look that will compliment the clients head and face shape. You must also avoid haircuts that emphasise or highlight any bad features that they may have or are self-conscious about, if the client is unsure of what you are discussing with them the use of images from a styling book for example may help the client understand you better. * Hair growth patterns – These factors may influence the cutting service as the growth pattern will determine which cut is suitable for the client. The definite angle at which the hair grows determines the pattern the hairs make on the head and the direction the hair will lie. The most common hair growth patterns are: * Cowlick - This growth pattern is at the front of the hairline. Not all looks are suitable for this pattern as the hair falls into a parting at the cowlick. It is important that the hair is not cut too short as the hair will then start to stick out. * Double crown- The double crown is when there are two circles or whorls in the crown area of the head. It is important that the hair is left longer in this area as it will stick out from the head if it is cut too short and be uncontrollable. * Neck or nape whorl- This is when the hair grows towards the centre of the neckline. When cutting, it should either be long...

...The plasmids formed will represent recombinant DNA because the four restriction fragments have been recombined in new ways. There are many ways the fragments could have combined, producing many kinds of recombinant molecules. When the enzymes cut the plasmids at the BamH I and Hind III restriction sites, the cutting left “sticky ends” on the two fragments. The sticky ends on any cut DNA can be bonded (ligated) to any other DNA fragment with complementary sticky ends. Since pARA has two enzyme restriction sites, the digestion will result in two fragments (one that is 4018 bp and another that is 40 bp). One of the fragments carries ampr gene and the other fragment does not carry any genes. The cutting of pKAN-R will result in two fragments (one that is 4706 bp and another that is 702...

...Blacklands Farm Overview of the task Firstly, we decided on doing a Bridge building task. The aim of this task was to build a bridge out of the resources provided. Our bridge had to be strong enough so it could to manage to hold a glue stick and other objects the bridge could hold. We first decided to a draw a plan for the bridge on a piece of paper. We then decided to distribute roles based on the skills certain individuals had. Freddie was the leader of the team; he started by rolling the paper to make pillars to support the bridge. At first we struggled to work as a team so he was the one that got the team focused and on track. Jack then started by building the main part of the bridge, which the glue would balance on. I then started cutting off strips of sellotape which we would use to connect the pillars to the main structure of the bridge. On Wednesday 11th November I attended a trip to Blacklands Farm where we had to work in teams to achieve a certain goal. Before we started the team building activity we had to select a leader, so as a group we decided that Alex would fit the role perfectly. We had to deal with situations in which Communication and teamwork was very important. For example, in the team building task we had were given slabs of wood which had to lay down a path to get from one side to another, but if our we took our foot off one of the slabs then they were taken away and if someone fell off then we had to restart the whole task. Once that task was completed...

...associated with knowledge. For example, Isaac Newton used an apple in his famous experiment, students often gift their favorite teachers apples, and “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” anecdote to follow for a healthy life. It is only fitting that a company would capitalize on this infamous fruit and associate it with technology-especially a company that is as cutting-edge as Apple. In this way, the apple is an indexical sign which logically connects it to what it represents-knowledge (Berger, page 49). The logo itself uses very simple graphics and design elements-basically the logo is just an apple with space between the actual fruit and the stem. The open, blank, or “white”, space between the fruit and the stem represents wealth, and in this case a wealth of knowledge (Berger, page 77). By using just one color for the apple (white or black depending on the background) with no shadow, Apple has strong lighting which causes the observer to feel knowledgeable and rational (Berger, page 81). The last element of the logo is the shape of the apple itself which is a variation of a circle. According to our text, circles represent endlessness, warmth and protection (Berger, page 75), all of which cause the consumer to trust the company and...

...Introduction Reminiscing at the first week of this class, we completed an assignment that tested each students’ strengths and weaknesses. The Transferable Skills Inventory (TSI) is acquired expertise from experience. The purpose of taking the TSI test is to recognize areas of improvement and then apply it in the workplace. This week, I will be discussing Convey, and one of his strategies that helped me develop my overarching question throughout the past seven weeks. Further, I will explain the relevance of the proactive approach in the circle of influence as a healthy individual. Briefly summary of chosen habit The problem I will be addressing relates to the direct control of the Circle of Influence. As Convey stated, “Proactive people concentrate their efforts in the Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do anything about. The nature of their energy is positive, enlarging and magnifying, causing their Circle of Influence to increase (p.83).” Proactive people use a specific language by saying I will do, I can do better than that, I will start the project (self-initiated), and I will take care of my health. In other words, proactive people manage...

...bench vice with two pieces of wood either side of it just to make sure it would not scratch the acrylic. The acrylic that I used was rough around the edges so using flat file I Cross filed to get rid of any saw cuts and draw filed it to get rid of any scratches made from the cross filing until the scratches were gone all around. I then got wet and dry paper and used grade 1200, 600 and 400 grits to make the surface finish smooth and shiny, it also gets rid of any dirt and grain left after the filing from the edges. I slowly brushed my fingers across the edges to see if the surface finish was smooth I left the protective plastic on the acrylic so I could mark out the centre of the 4 sided shape, then I used the pillar drill to cut out the circle on the Acrylic. Health and safety is very important in the making stages so I made sure I was wearing my apron and goggles so I could protect my clothes from any spillages such as the water from wet and dry and also protect my face from any bits of acrylic or wood chips that could fly out during the drilling. After the drilling, I used a template to mark out where I needed to bend the acrylic to actually form the shape off an egg cup holder. I used a strip heater to bend the acrylic, I placed the piece of acrylic on the heater where I marked out the line and kept flipping the piece of acrylic every few seconds so the acrylic didn’t melt. I quickly removed the acrylic and placed it inside a bending jig which then was pushed at a 90 degree...

...Archimedes’s genius you can simply take a look at some of his inventions. Archimedes was a mastermind of mathematics. One of his biggest accomplishments is approximating pi, he did this by utilizing the technique known as the method of exhaustion. His approximation is still used today. He also proved that the area of a circle was equal to pi multiplied by the square of the radius of the circle. He also discovered what is called Archimedes Principle, a principle relating buoyancy to displacement. He considered his most important discoveries his discoveries on the sphere and cylinder. He realized that the volume of a cylinder is equal to 2/3 times the volume of the corresponding sphere and that the surface area of cylinder, including both ends, equals 2/3 times the surface area of the corresponding sphere. Archimedes also worked on the quadrature of the parabola, conoids and spheroids and found that the area of the parabolic segment of a parabola is equal to 3/4 times that of the triangle with the same base and height, the volume of any segment of a paraboloid is 3/2 times that of a cone with the same base and axes, and the ratio of the two segments formed by cutting a solid bounded by a paraboloid with two planes in an arbitrary way is equal to that of the squares of the lengths of their axes. He created scientific notation and it is believed that he was actually the first to have invented integral calculus, 2000 years before Newton and Leibniz. To document his multitude of findings...

...test the strength and absorbency of paper towels. While the steps of the experiment vary from test to test, all of experiments are testing the same two factors; how much water can each paper towel brand absorb and how strong are each of the paper towels. Below I have reviewed the process and results from three experiments that are similar to the one I will be using. In the first experiment, the tester uses five brands of paper towels to test for absorbency, using paper towels of the same size to ensure the accuracy of the results. He draws a two inch circle in the center of a sheet of paper towel from each brand represented and placing the paper towel in an embroidery hoop to maintain stability. He then drops fifteen drops of water into the center of the circle draw on the paper towel, repeating the process for each brand, and measures the amount of time it takes the paper towel to wick the moisture outside of the circle. This test concludes that Bounty has the greatest absorbency. The next experiment tests for both absorbency and strength. As in the first test, several different brands of paper towels were used. In this experiment, to test the absorbency, the tester takes a sheet of each of the towels an inserts it into a glass with two ounces of water and leaves each sit for twenty seconds. After the twenty seconds expired, the...
