"How efficient are the horses?"
Translation:Quanto sono efficaci i cavalli?
July 27, 2013
Why not "Quanti efficaci sono i cavalli?"
In this case "quanto" doesn't have to agree in gender and number with the noun, since it's not an adjective referring to it. "Quanto + adj" is equivalent to "how + adj" in the English construction. However, when translating "how much/many", you'd have literally "quanto tanto/a/i/e" which becomes just "quanto/a/i/e". That's the only case you have a declensed form of "quanto".
2020-01-16 As Duolessio said, but also the verb should come directly after quanto, not after the adjective.
Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli also accepted. BUT it is usual to put the verb after quanto. Quanto è lungo il ponte. Quanto è grande il cavallo. Quanto sono grande le case.
It was accepted on 28 July 2020.
I believe "efficace" and "efficiente" have different meanings in the same way that "effective" and "efficient" mean different things. I think "How effective are the horses?" would be a more accurate translation.
I think we are looking at subtly different meanings in the two languages.
In English, confusing efficient and effective is a classic schoolchild's error, of which English teachers are heartily fed up. "Being effective is about doing the right things, while being efficient is about doing things right". Effective is whether something produces a desired effect. Efficient is how well the effect is produced, and in theory can be calculated as units output per unit input.
I think Italian has a different logic, which I find hard to figure out. Dictionary examples suggest that efficiente applied to a person (or a horse or a machine) translates to "efficient", but to non-actors (e.g. a process, a method, a remedy) it translates to "effective". Duo doesn't follow this logic.
There's another Italian phrase for the English "efficient": di buon rendimento. The noun means yield, performance, efficiency or duty according to context. Unfortunately I don't think there's a related adjective.
Speaking as an English teacher (just one, I know) I was much more fed up about "could of ", "them ones" and failure to distinguish between "their", "there" and "they are". :)
I confirm this. Efficiente is more like productive, like a horse which doesn't eat too much but still runs for a long time before getting tired. "cavalli" is also a commonly used short form of "cavalli vapore", which would fit better than my example with horses in terms of an engine efficiency.
An 'efficace' summary; thank you.
That's what I'm lead to believe from peeking too
"How efficiente are the horses!" could be translate also as "Come sono efficaci i cavalli!", or not??
Think of 'how much' and 'how many' as 'quanto'; and 'how, in what way' as 'come'.
Come is not accepted in this sentence?
'Come' is 'in quale modo' how, but 'quanto' is 'in che misura' how: 'in what way' versus 'to what degree'. Here the sentence is, in effect, 'To what degree are the horses efficient', so quanto is used.
Oh yes. Thanks for your explanation.
John I am sure that you are right but I thought "come" was more appropriate because the sentence is about the efficiency of horses and not motors. With motors the response would be perhaps, that the motor is 70% efficient, in which case quanto is clearly the correct interrogative. Whereas, with horse when talking about their efficiency we would not describe it's efficiency in numerical terms but rather in the general attributes of the horse? What do you think?
How about quanto is for countable quantities and come is for non countable quality?
A short explanation that is easy to remember....thank you!
Thanks for a simple answer that I can remember.
Can you not use Come for "how" in this instance? I wrote Come efficaci sono i cavalli.
"How" = come for most things, but not for quantities. "How much/many" = quanto/i, obviously. Less obvious but logical is when the "much" is replaced by an adjective of degree like "long", or "effective" as here. [If Duo means "efficient" the answer should be efficiente. English speakers often get them mixed up too.]
There's one context in which come / quanto are interchangeable, and that's as an intensifier in an exclamation: "How effective the horses are!". In Duo's example there is no exclamation mark and the English word order is wrong. Even if these were present and correct, your Italian word order is wrong: it should have been Come sono efficaci i cavalli!.
I also used "come" because it was the only option suggested when I hovered over the word "how"! And then it was marked wrong!
my translation was: quanto efficaci sono i cavalli. It was correct, but how would an Italian prefer to say it?
It's ok but I think it's more natural with the verb before the adjective.
I also put "Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli" ; it was not accepted. I'm assuming the word order is the issue, but i would be grateful to be directed to any relevant grammar lesson, as I don't have any on DL.
Italian word order is pretty fluid, but here quanto is an (interrogative) adverb, and you don't really want to separate it from the verb or adjective that it modifies. It's a general 'rule'.
References in grammar to quanto è specifically seem to be rare, but the Treccani dictionary says "Come avv[erbio]:... modificando un agg[ettivo]: quant'è lungo il cammino?. This order makes for easy additions, such as... più lungo..., and compound tenses. If you think of the noun first, it's perfectly OK to say I cavalli, quanto sono efficaci? I'm not sure about... sono quanto efficaci?.
Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli was accepted Feb 2018
Is DL certain that "Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli" is not also acceptable?
Look at my previous entry. This was also my translation and it was accepted.
[deactivated user]
 Duolingo said it was wrong when I said it that way.
 Here's my question: How on earth would anyone answer this question, either in Italian or in English? What does "how efficient are the horses" mean anyway? Sorry; it's a ridiculous question.
 On Earth we would answer it variously, such as "very, fairly, not very, not at all, 40% (meaning power output divided by power input)", etc. How about your planet? :-) If you ignore Duo's literal translation by dropping "the", you have "How efficient are horses?" - a genuine question of biophysics or agriculture.
 FYI: Quanto sono efficienti i cavalli? was also accepted.
 Che efficaci sono i cavalli?
 Nope, you have to use "quanto".
 Got it, Johnrush. Thanks.
 Could somebody please explain to me why Come efficaci sono i cavalli? is incorrect? I interpret this question of efficiency as to what extent the horses are of use, not an inquiry into how strong they are.
 It is accepted now.
 In addition to all valid questions about where'sono' should go in the sentence, as discussed here, I would kindly point out to DL that, just like 'efficient' and 'effective' have significantly different meanings in English, I frivolously assume the same semantic distinction applies to 'efficiente' and 'efficace'.
 So, DL, please, respect the correspondence.
 Does anyone have an actual clue as to how to pick the order of words in this sentence?
 I'm coming to the conclusion that the answer is to start again, be born in Italy, grow to your present age, and it will all become clear.
 Why is it "quanto" and not "quanti" here when we are talking about horses (plural)?
 And why is "efficaci" AFTER "sono"? I put "quanti efficaci sono i cavalli" (thinking it literally translates to "how efficient are the horses" and was marked wrong, but I will try to just change "quanti" to "quanto" next time and see if where I put the adjective will be accepted that way too or not.
 Quanto can be an adjective or an adverb, here it is an interrogative adverb. Adverbs are fixed words that do not change, just as the interrogative adverbs perché, dove, and quando do not change.
 nstallaert2 - "And why is "efficaci" AFTER "sono"?"
 See malcolmissimo's comment from 2 years ago.
 As a language teacher, language is alive, it changes meaning with acceptance. Just because something is right grammatically according to the Grammar Book doesn't mean that one has to use it that way. Dialects account for so many differences, y'all. For me, efficient means

Pinion Seal Replacement Cost – RepairPal Estimate. The average cost for pinion seal replacement is between $206 and $253. Labor costs are estimated between $180 and $228 while parts are priced at $26.
What happens when pinion bearing fails?
A whirring noise when a vehicle accelerates is the signature symptom of a pinion bearing that is bad or is about to go break. The whirring noise will come and go at various speeds. The more worn the pinion bearings are, the more pronounced the whirring sound becomes.
What does a worn pinion bearing sound like?
Clunking sound every few feet: Such a sound at fairly regular intervals could be a sign of a broke ring gear or pinion gear. Howl or whine while driving straight: That sort of sound may be an indication of a number of problems. A whine during deceleration may mean there is a bad or loose pinion bearing.
What does a pinion bearing do?
Front and Rear Pinion Bearings & Carrier Bearings Pinion bearings are designed to reduce friction in the direction of desirable movement, increasing efficiency. In drive differentials, pinion bearings help the smallest gears in the differential work smoothly.
Can a pinion bearing cause vibration?
The pinion gear rotates at driveshaft speed and can mimic a driveshaft speed-related vibration. Improper pinion bearing preload can cause what appears to be a pinion seal leak, but the seal is fine, the pinion gear is moving vertically, horizontally, or diagonally as is rotates.
How long will a bad pinion bearing last?
Now, if you are looking for a time frame, it can be ten days or ten years. The bearings with a low level of damage can run for ten years, whereas if the bearing has an extreme level of damage, it will not last for ten days.
Is it OK to drive with a bad pinion bearing?
It actually depends on how bad the bearing is. For a low level of damage, it will be 100 percent okay to drive the car, and you would be able to drive it in that condition for a long amount of time without worrying a bit. However, if the damage level is moderate, it will not be safe to drive the care for a long time.
Can you drive with bad differential bearings?
You can still drive your vehicle with a bad rear differential, but it can cause severe damage. The problem may increase to the point of stopping you in the middle of nowhere. And, if you are asking about driving with a total broken differential, no, don't do it unless you want to damage the entire drivetrain system.
How much does it cost to replace a pinion gear?
The Best in Auto Repair The average cost for rack and pinion replacement is between $347 and $437. Labor costs are estimated between $346 and $437 while parts are priced at $0. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your specific vehicle or unique location.

I'm in doubt how to make a calculator.
need to convert a unit of weight (kg) into caloric weight, as follows:
if weight is <10kg = caloric weight is: weight x 1
if the weight is> 10kg and <20kg = (weight - 10) x 0.5 + 10
if weight is> 20 = (weight - 15) x 0.2 + 15
weight: ( form )
caloric weight: ( result )
result example 1:
Weight: 7kg
Caloric Weight : 7kg
result example 2:
Weight: 15kg
Caloric Weight : 12,5kg
result example 3:
Weight: 35kg
Caloric Weight : 18kg
Re: Help making a calculator 22.01.2020 08:55
first you need to create your input fields, in this case weight, that you will receive at the code section as $weight. Then you can write your math at the code section and introduce the result into your variable (if you call it'result', then you need to fill the $result variable, for ex):
For your case you also need to use 'if' clauses, so you can check the proper syntax here:
In order to build this kind of code
if($weight<10) {
And finally, you can write your result at the output section with

Installation position and usage process of inverted wire drawing machine
Before installing the vertical wire drawing machine, it is necessary to select an appropriate position, and then select the equipment to place on a stable ground, and then install it effectively according to its instructions. First, according to the foundation holes of the machine base, use appropriate Wall plug to fix it on the pre laid cement foundation to fix it. Afterwards, check whether the equipment can maintain a stable state and whether all auxiliary equipment is complete.
When tightening the equipment of an inverted wire drawing machine, it is necessary to pay effective attention to adjusting the position of the main machine. During operation, ensure that the center of the drum and the rotation center of the trolley are in the same position. When using the machine, it is also important to note that when adjusting the main machine, it is important to ensure that the trolley can move smoothly in both forward and backward directions. In addition, it is also necessary to connect the electrical wiring of the equipment reasonably according to the requirements of electricity consumption, ensuring that there is no leakage or short circuit phenomenon.
Some precautions during the use of an inverted wire drawing machine
During the heating process of wire drawing, there is a problem that involves controlling the temperature of the drawing liquid within what range is reasonable. Normally, the temperature of the wire drawing solution is controlled within the range of 65-85 ° C. Of course, in actual work, adjustments need to be made based on the actual situation. As we all know, after heating, the wire drawing liquid usually emits hot air in the wire drawing box.
Under normal circumstances, users of an inverted wire drawing machine need to pay attention to the issue of controlling the height of the drawing liquid below the center of the tower wheel shaft during operation. In addition, the pH of the wire drawing oil used in the wire drawing machine should also be controlled within a reasonable range. Otherwise, if it is too high, it may cause the copper wire to turn red and also cause damage to the equipment, reducing its lifespan. Also, I would like to suggest to all users that if the job requires drawing some particularly fine metal wire, attention should be paid to the slow start of the wire drawing machine equipment, and then slowly accelerate to prevent the problem of wire breakage.

Question: What Time Are Most Big Bucks Killed?
Is it better to hunt in the morning or evening?
Hunting the gray light of dawn and dusk is often your best shot at success.
Watch the wind to ensure you don't blow your cover, and stay as silent as possible the nearer you get to your hunting site.
Whether it's by choice or circumstance, hunts during mornings or evenings often yield the best results..
Do deer travel the same path every day?
What time of day are the biggest bucks killed?
Most hunters are headed for lunch and something cold to drink well before noon, especially during the hot part of the day. This is exactly when many of the heavyweight brawlers will ease off the bed for a quick drink. Many mature bucks have learned that the midday hours are safe.
What time of day do big bucks move?
Deer Move Most at Dawn and Dusk––End of Story Like taxes and death, you can count on two things when talking about mature bucks: they move most at dawn and dusk, and during the rut. Deer are crepuscular. It's built into their DNA.
Are more deer killed in the morning or afternoon?
The bottom line is morning and afternoon hunts can both be very productive. Extra caution and care must go into your approach in the mornings. You simply can't see what's around you. For this reason, you will spook more deer.
What time of day are deer most active?
dawnTime of Day: For whitetail deer the most active times typically occur around dawn and dusk, with periodic increases in activity overnight. Plan ahead and get out there during the right time of day to increase your chances of success.

The question simply doesn't make sense. Any periodic function has both period and frequency- given one, you can calculate the other.
Neither "represents" an orbit.
If you do have something, such as a planet, orbiting, then you must have both a period (the number of days, seconds, etc. required to complete one full orbit) and a frequency (the number of orbits per day, second, etc.) and one is just the reciprocal of the other. If you are thinking of one as "representing" the orbit, the other could as well.
To answer the question you DIDN'T ask but probably intended, it is more common to give the period of an orbit of a planet about the sun rather than the frequency just because it is a simpler number in the most common units.
1/T = Frequency
1/f = Period.
where T = period.
Knowing either one will get you the answer for the other.

Best Ways to Import and Export Musical Instruments
Musical instruments are some of the most intricately designed items that manufacturers must ship all across the world. Since musical instrument manufacturers typically produce instruments like keyboards, guitars, drums and more in Eastern countries, they must often ship them globally to get to their intended destination.
To import and export musical instruments safely and efficiently, manufacturing brands will need a freight forwarder to bring their products in for resale in the United States. Several factors come into play when manufacturers must decide how to export their musical instruments, as well as the company they choose to handle importing them into America. In this article, we'll discuss the best ways to import and export musical instruments, so they arrive at their destination in perfect condition.
What Instruments Are Commonly Imported or Exported?
Although some musical instruments are U.S.-made, many others get manufactured in Eastern countries and require shipping to the U.S. and other Western nations. This process works the other way, as well, with Western countries having to ship the musical instruments they manufacture to Eastern nations.
Whether manufacturers are importing goods to or from the United States, the following five instrument categories are the most common in global shipping.
1. Electric Musical Instruments
Electric musical instruments are the 686th most-traded product in the world, with their top exporter, China, shipping out about $764 million worth of products that fall under this category in 2017 alone. The top importer of electric musical instruments is the U.S., which brings in about $446 million in electric musical instruments each year.
Musical instruments that fall under this category include:
- Electric guitars
- Bass guitars
2. Stringed Musical Instruments
Stringed musical instruments, also typically referred to as acoustic instruments, are not quite as popular imports and exports as electric instruments, but countries still commonly trade them. This category breaks down even further to regular stringed instruments and stringed instruments played with a bow. China is the top exporter for both categories, shipping out $306 million of regular stringed instruments and $82.3 million stringed instruments played with a bow.
Regular stringed instruments that are common imports and exports include:
- Grand pianos
- Acoustic guitars
Examples of stringed instruments played with a bow are:
- Upright basses
3. Musical Instrument Parts and Accessories
As the 794th most-traded product, the musical parts and accessories industry is even more substantial than that of some of the instruments themselves. China exported $217 million worth of musical instrument parts and accessories in 2017.
A few examples of the top-exported musical instrument accessories and parts include:
- Radio receivers
4. Drum Sets and Other Percussion Equipment
Drum sets and other percussion equipment comes next in the list of top-exported musical goods, with China's 2017 total for exported percussion equipment being $145 million. The percussion category is much broader and more inclusive than some of the others, which a wide range of instruments falling under it. Some examples include:
- Drums — bass, snare, timpani, etc.
BTW, a business that helps companies find drum sets and does an awesome job at referral marketing is Drum Set Lab.
5. Wind Instruments
Despite being last on this list, the category of wind instruments — not including those made of brass — is still a significant one in terms of foreign trade. China exported a total of $110 million worth of wind instruments in 2017 alone.
Some non-brass wind instruments that are common imports and exports include:
Methods to Import and Export Musical Instruments
There are two methods of importing and exporting musical instruments from China and other Eastern countries to the United States: ocean and air. Each option has its pros and cons and is best suited for specific instruments and conditions. To decide which method you should use, consider the number of items you're sending, the size of the items, the weight of the items, how far they will be traveling and how quickly you need them to reach their destination.
1. Ocean Freight Shipping
If you are shipping a significant amount of musical instruments — and especially if they are large instruments, like a piano or upright bass — it's best to opt for ocean freight shipping. Ocean freight shipping takes a bit longer than opting to ship by air, but it is more economical if you are exporting or importing large, heavy instruments in bulk.
Heavy musical instruments would be difficult to ship via air because they would weigh down a plane and eat up a lot more of its fuel than a cargo boat designed to carry tons of equipment. No matter where you're shipping pianos or other heavy musical instruments to or from, ocean freight shipping is the best way to make sure they reach their destination safely and cost-effectively.
2. Air Freight Shipping
The second method of shipping musical instruments is via air, which is an excellent complement to the ocean freight shipping option. Air freight shipping is ideal for smaller musical instruments because they are easier for cargo planes to carry while using less fuel. Air freight shipping is also a faster method than ocean freight shipping, making it the right choice for time-sensitive shipments.
However, keep in mind that even if your shipment of heavy musical instruments like grand pianos or organs is time-sensitive, it may be worthwhile to save some money and resources by opting for ocean freight shipping. Your cost will increase significantly if you have to import or export these large items via air, as an airplane will use significantly more fuel than a cargo boat that is intended to carry loads of several tons.
Top Countries for the Music Industry
Music is one of the only industries that is alive and well in almost every country — whether that's financially speaking or culturally speaking. However, there are a few key players involved in exporting and importing musical instruments.
We've broken down the following two lists to analyze which countries have the most booming musical instrument industries based on the top five exporters of musical instruments, as well as the top five importers of musical instruments.
Top Five Exporters of Musical Instruments
The five top exporters of musical instruments are below in order.
1. China ($1.6 Billion)
As you may have noticed based on the numbers in the previous list of the top-exported musical instruments, China dominates the musical instrument export industry. China's music market is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, so it's not surprising they're also the No. 1 exporter of musical instruments by a long shot.
If you add up the 2017 numbers mentioned earlier in this article for the top five most-exported instruments, China exported somewhere around $1.6 billion in all categories of musical instruments that year.
2. Indonesia ($582 Million)
Coming in second on the list of the world's top musical instrument exporters is Indonesia. The country is responsible for manufacturing a large portion of the world's electric, stringed and wind instruments.
- Electric instruments: $422 million
- Stringed instruments: $80.7 million
- Wind instruments: $79.3 million
These numbers add up to a total of $582 million exported musical goods from Indonesia.
3. United States ($531 Million)
While most people will think of the United States as a significant importer of musical instruments, the U.S. is also home to several instrument manufacturers. The U.S. exports many types of musical instruments to other countries.
- Electric instruments: $181 million
- Stringed instruments: $119 million
- Accessories and parts: $185 million
- Percussion instruments: $46.1 million
These figures result in a total of $531 million of musical instrument products exported from the United States each year, based on the 2017 data.
4. Germany ($473 Million)
Germany is another power player in the manufacturing and export of musical instruments of all types. In 2017, the country exported the following amounts of each product type.
- Electric instruments: $124 million
- Stringed instruments: $35 million
- Accessories and parts: $199 million
- Percussion instruments: $47.6 million
- Wind instruments: $67.4 million
When you add these numbers, you'll find Germany exported a total of $473 million of the top five most exported musical instruments.
5. Japan ($170 Million)
The nation of Japan comes in fifth place for the most music-related exports in 2017. Even though they only exported two of the five most popular instruments, their numbers for those two categories are high enough to make them a top exporter.
Japan has earned a reputation for exporting musical instruments such as the following.
- Accessories and parts: $92.4 million
- Wind instruments: $77.6 million
In total, Japan exported $170 million music-related products across the globe in 2017.
Top Five Importers of Musical Instruments
On the other hand, the following five countries are the top importers of musical instruments.
1. United States ($1.1 Billion)
You might have guessed this one already based on the numbers discussed earlier in the article, but the United States takes first place for the largest importer of musical instruments in the world. That is even despite the 2.7% to 3.5% duty tax American companies must pay to import musical instruments into the country. It is also despite the United States' most recent tariff update on importing Chinese products, including musical instruments. The president's new ruling states that beginning Sept. 1, 2019, tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports will start at 10% and could eventually increase to 25% or more.
Of course, the following numbers are from 2017 before these new tariffs came about, so it will be interesting to see how they will affect the number of musical instruments the country imports in the future.
The United States imported the following dollar amounts for top categories of musical instruments in 2017.
- Electric instruments: $446 million
- Stringed instruments: $


Building an IN list using REPLACE
2017-08-18 14_28_59-Presentation1 - PowerPoint

Have you ever had the need to build an IN list from some rows you had in excel? Or maybe you have a bunch of data you pulled out of a results set from some other server somewhere and you are unable to join tables so you need to plug the values into an IN clause?
Well I have come across this a few times and I have always either encapsulated every value manually in Apostrophes and delimited with a comma or used a method in Excel.
Its a bit of a silly one really but its kinda neat too, lets let SQL do do the work for us:
Here is a bunch of Tabular data:

2017-08-18 14_14_42-Book1 - Excel

I want to copy the contents of these rows and encapsulate each value with Apostrophes and then delimit with a comma so that I can place this directly into my IN clause, but remember this is one single string not a column where we can apply something per row so the likes of XML PATH is no use here.
So here is one way to do this simply with SQL:
Sample Data:
Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French

I need to pass this into a SELECT so I add an apostrophe at the beginning and end like this:
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'
then add my SELECT:
SELECT
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'
So far the results look like this:

Step1

Then use REPLACE to first replace the CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) with an Apostrophe, Comma then another Apostrophe:

SELECT REPLACE(
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'
,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),''',''')
It now looks like this:

Step2

So now its missing a beginning Apostrophe and an end apostrophe, so we can just simply add this to the Query as below:

SELECT ''''+REPLACE(
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'
,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),''',''')+''''

Step3

Great so now we have what we were after… BUT when we copy and paste it's all on one row:
--RESULT:
'Danish','German','Greek','English','Finnish','French'

Perhaps we want it back to the form it was originally in, tabular form?

We can alter this slightly:

SELECT ''''+REPLACE(
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'
,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),''','+CHAR(13)+'''')+''''
--RESULT:
'Danish',
'German',
'Greek',
'English',
'Finnish',
'French'

If you really wanted to you could create a Stored procedure out of it, for example:

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_BuildINList
(
@String VARCHAR(MAX)
)
AS
SELECT ''''+REPLACE(
@String
,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),''','+CHAR(13)+'''')+'''' AS IN_List

--Example execution:
EXEC sp_BuildINList
'Danish
German
Greek
English
Finnish
French'

A neat little trick, I am sure there are other ways of doing this – I used to use Excel but if I can keep things in SQL then I only ever need one application 🙂

Thanks for reading.

Add yours
 1. I personally find it easy to just paste into SSMS and do a find replace with Regex. Steps would be paste from Excel, Ctrl+H, in the search enter \r\n, in the replace enter ',' Check the regex button and hit Alt-A. Then you just need to cleanup the start and end.

Masonry workers, crane operators and other construction workers were recently hired to help finish an unusual project — a castle made of 27,000 blocks of ice. Known in St. Paul, Minn., as the Ice Palace, the $1.5 million structure serves as the main attraction at the city's annual Winter Carnival.
Kraus-Anderson Construction of St. Paul had to find additional workers in order to complete the giant structure in time. Work had been delayed because of the weather — it had not been cold enough for the lakes to freeze over. Construction was supposed to begin Dec. 15, but work was halted until ice blocks 1-foot deep could be cut from nearby Lake Phalen. A number of volunteers were waiting to help build the castle, but because it had to be finished quickly, the extra workers and equipment were brought in.
Approximately 16 unionized masons worked three daily shifts, while several crane operators worked to lift ice blocks on top of the five turrets. Although the added expense of the workers was not calculated into the cost of the palace, the festival's board of directors plans to use any surplus money from the admission tickets toward the labor. Kraus-Anderson is doing the work pro-bono. Many of the original volunteers on the project were also construction workers.
Although the first ice palace was constructed in 1886, visitors to the festival haven't been able to walk through the structure since 1941 because of safety concerns. This year, however, a volunteer team of 20 architects and engineers from SSL/Leo A. Daly firm worked to make the palace safe for visitors to tour. The castle contains eight thrones made of ice as well as a giant ice fountain. Lights within the palace's turrets are part of the festival's annual light show. The palace will be open to visitors until Feb. 7.

Can You Freeze Rice Pudding?
Rice pudding is an all-around great dish. It combines some of the most basic ingredients to form a scrumptious treat for the whole family. This yummy dish is the perfect dessert, an excellent snack, and something that even your baby can eat.
One of the only sweet treats that are also really healthy, and an easy guilt-free treat for a down day. But for all the effort that it takes to make this delicious pudding, it doesn't have a very long shelf life.
That's why freezing is an excellent option, despite its two main ingredients being extremely temperature-sensitive.
Milk is a dairy product that is well-known for being difficult to freeze, and rice is also extremely sensitive. This means there will likely be structural and textual changes to the ingredients once they freeze.
Despite this, rice pudding actually freezes surprisingly well. So there's no need to worry if you've made too big a batch, you can easily freeze the excess.
You can even make a batch of rice pudding ahead for easy access to this sweet treat in the future. Just follow this guide, and freezing rice pudding will be easy.
How to freeze rice pudding
If you decide that you want to freeze your rice pudding, the process is extremely easy. The most important step is the first one, and once you've done this, the entire process is simple.
You have to wait until the rice pudding has cooled before beginning the freezing process. If the pudding is not cooled thoroughly, this will affect the texture of the rice pudding and potentially make it inedible when defrosted.
If you are short on time and need the rice pudding to cool quickly so that you can freeze it, there are ways around this. The most common way is to give the pudding an ice bath. This accelerates the cooling process by exposing the warm pudding to cold water.
To do this you simply transfer the rice pudding from the pan into an airtight container. You can then seal the container and submerge it in water which is ice cold for roughly 20 minutes. This will cool the pudding to a temperature that is freezer safe.
If you decide to let the pudding cool naturally, the first step once it has cooled is transferring to an airtight, freezer-safe container. You should fill the container up until it has about 2-inches left at the top.
The water content of the rice pudding will expand when frozen and cause the entire mixture to fill the container.
You should then place a layer of saran wrap across the pudding before sealing with the lid. Once this is completed you can simply label the container with the date of freezing, and lay flat in your freezer to avoid any spillages.
How to defrost rice pudding
Once frozen, rice pudding can last up to 3 months in the freezer. But for the best taste experience, it should be eaten as soon as possible because the texture and flavor will deteriorate the longer it has been frozen.
When you decide to eat your frozen rice pudding, the defrosting process is just as easy as the freezing process. You can simply take the container of rice pudding out of the freezer and place it in the fridge.
Leave the container in the fridge overnight and come morning you will find that the rice pudding has thawed thoroughly. You should never leave the rice pudding to defrost at room temperature. It has a high milk content, and this will cause the pudding to turn quicker and become inedible.
Depending on your preference, you can then either reheat the pudding or eat cold. If you prefer your rice pudding chilled then you're good to go. But if you prefer it heated, you have a few options for how to do this.
The most common is to reheat the rice pudding on the hob. This method ensures that the mixture has heated thoroughly and also allows you to give the pudding a good stir before you eat it.
Simply simmer the mixture in a saucepan over low heat, once it has reached your desired temperature you can then add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Alternatively, you may choose to reheat the rice pudding in a microwave. This is a very easy option, but you must add a cup of water to the mixture before heating it. The microwave is likely to dry out the mixture, so the water will counteract this and allow you to enjoy your meal.
Factors to consider before freezing RICE PUDDING
As is most common with freezing things, there are some factors that you should consider before choosing to freeze your excess rice pudding.
The first is the ingredients you use to make the rice pudding. This is especially important if you are making a batch of rice pudding intending to freeze.
One great way to give your rice pudding a longer shelf life is by using a milk alternative. Rice pudding is commonly made with whole milk, but this has an extremely short shelf life which can be affected by freezing.
To improve the texture and consistency of your pudding once defrosted, you should consider using a milk alternative such as evaporated, condensed, or even coconut milk.
You should also consider the type of rice that you use. Long grain rice tends to make for drier and denser rice pudding, whereas short grain tends to be a lot more watery.
Consider which will freeze better and choose accordingly. Alternatively, if you plan on making rice pudding exclusively to freeze you could replace the milk with water to freeze.
This will provide the pudding with a longer shelf life, and allows you to add fresh milk to the recipe when you are reheating it.
In short, the answer is yes, rice pudding is freezable.
You can easily freeze your excess rice pudding to enjoy in the future.
Alternatively, if you are making a batch of rice pudding to freeze for the future there are some changes you can make to the recipe to give it a longer shelf life.
Different ingredients can cause changes to the texture, so follow this guide for the best freezer-friendly rice pudding.

Following a strand of narrative studies pointing to the living conditions of storytelling and the micro-level implications of working within fragmented narrative perspectives, this article contributes to narrative research on work stories by focusing on how meaning is created from fragmented stories. We argue that meaning by story making is not always created by coherence and causality; meaning is created by different types of fragmentation: discontinuities, tensions and editing. The objective of this article is to develop and advance antenarrative practice analysis of work stories by exploring how different types of fragmentation create meanings. This is done by studying the work stories of job and personnel consultants and by drawing on the results of a narrative, ethnographic study of a consultancy. The analysis demonstrates how work stories are social practices negotiated, retold, edited and performed by the storyteller in an ongoing process allowing tensions, discontinuities and editing between failures and achievements, between dreams and work realities and between home and work life. We argue that by including different types of fragmentation, we offer a new type of antenarrative practice approach that offers a contemporary method for exploring meaning creation in work stories.

One of the historical costs of paving has been the labor and material expenses to stake out the jobsite with pins and stringlines. This is an estimated expense of $1 per linear foot. If you begin utilizing Leica's 3D stringless paving, you can eliminate the pins, string, and most of the labor associated with setting them. Is it a good investment? Take a look at a real paving example below:
- Existing Job – Paving an 11-mile, 4-lane divided highway. This means you are paving 22 miles and setting 6 stringline set-ups with ramps.
- Setting stringline for a total of 696,960 linear feet.
- Estimated cost per linear foot for stringline is $1.00.
- Total estimated cost for setting stringline for ONE job is nearly $700,000.
For the cost of setting the stringline for one project, you can easily purchase, have installed and be trained on two mainline paving systems and have money left over. You will also be able to continually reuse the systems, reducing costs for future jobs.
There are also additional benefits to going stringless that should be considered that can positively impact your financials:
- Increase jobsite safety
- Improve project logistics
- Reduce time to complete the job
- Potentially a better ride quality
- Potential to obtain a higher percent of smooth-ride bonus
- Reduce material waste

When I am fishing for jumbo catfish with jumbo baits like an entire shad or bluegill and I see that I am getting bites, I never set the hook right away. That is because when catfish transport and swallow their food, it does not happen in an instant. I wait to make sure that the fish has completely engulfed my bait to avoid pulling the bait right out of its mouth. Without the ability to take bites or properly chew, they have to swallow big prey whole, which takes time. This is surprisingly complicated, especially without a muscular tongue to help move food around.

After we chew our food, we rely on peristalsis (involuntary muscle contractions in the throat) to move the chewed food down our esophagus. However, if you try to swallow food whole without chewing first, peristalsis will not be enough to move that food down and you will probably choke. Fish, on the other hand, do not (usually) choke from that, but scientists still do not know how they do it. However, a team of scientists led by Hannah Weller from Brown University may have found some answers. In a new paper in Integrative Organismal Biology, they detail how channel catfish can swallow their prey whole without a tongue.
Normally, it is very difficult to see how fish swallow because it happens on the inside of live fish. Weller and her team used a technique called XROMM (X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology) that allows them to visualize the inner workings of fish movements. XROMM involves x-ray videos with markers implanted in the bones. These videos are then synced with CT scans of the catfish using the markers, creating animations of the skull in motion. Other than making cool moving skeleton videos, this technique allows scientists to see precisely how skeletons move during complex behaviors. By having a marker in their food, Weller was able to visualize how food travels through the digestive tract as catfish process and swallow their food.

To feed, catfish suck their food and some surrounding water into their mouth at high speeds, and the food then stops around the gills. Using XROMM, Weller and her team described how food then moves toward the esophagus in a slower, subtler, more intricate manner. This is likely driven by movements of the branchial basket, a structure that includes the gill arches and pharyngeal jaws, which are a second set of jaws found in the throats of most fish. Meanwhile on the outside, the fish appear to move very little. Once the food reaches the esophagus, the fish then use a complex combination of mouth opening and closing, body muscle contractions, pharyngeal jaw movement, hyoid depression, and a few other moving parts to transport food to their stomachs.

By pairing CT images with x-ray videos, you can clearly see how food moves down the digestive tract and the bone movements that make it possible, without the background distractions. Top panel is a side view, bottom panel is a bottom view. From Weller et al., 2020.
This is the first description of the anything other than peristalsis aiding the movement of food down the esophagus of a vertebrate. Previously, all vertebrates were thought to only use peristalsis to for this task, be it a frog, bird, turtle, or Russian dwarf hamster. This may only be possible because of the highly mobile fish skull, which allows fish to move their heads in more ways than we can. Weller and her team have some ideas about exactly how head and body movements aid in swallowing, such as by swallowing water, pectoral fin movements, or heavy breathing, but more research is still needed to figure out the exact mechanism.
Next time you are fishing for big fish with big baits, just remember these videos, so you know just how long to wait for a catfish to move your bait completely into its mouth before setting the hook.

|Peking Duck sliced and prepared|
|Literal meaning||Beijing Roast Duck|
The dish is prized for the thin, crisp skin, with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front of the diners by the cook. Ducks bred specially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung oven. The meat is eaten with pancakes, scallion, and hoisin sauce or sweet bean sauce. The two most notable restaurants in Beijing which serve this dish are Quanjude and Bianyifang, two centuries-old establishments which have become household names.
Duck has been roasted in China since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. A variation of roast duck was prepared for the Emperor of China in the Yuan Dynasty. The dish, originally named "Shaoyazi" (燒鴨子), was mentioned in the Complete Recipes for Dishes and Beverages (飲膳正要) manual in 1330 by Hu Sihui (忽思慧), an inspector of the imperial kitchen. The Peking Roast Duck that came to be associated with the term was fully developed during the later Ming Dynasty, and by then, Peking Duck was one of the main dishes on imperial court menus. The first restaurant specialising in Peking Duck, Bianyifang, was established in the Xianyukou, Qianmen area of Beijing in 1416.
By the Qianlong Period (1736–1796) of the Qing Dynasty, the popularity of Peking Duck spread to the upper classes, inspiring poetry from poets and scholars who enjoyed the dish. For instance, one of the verses of Duan Zhu Zhi Ci, a collection of Beijing poems was, "Fill your plates with roast duck and suckling pig". In 1864, the Quanjude (全聚德) restaurant was established in Beijing. Yang Quanren (楊全仁), the founder of Quanjude, developed the hung oven to roast ducks. With its innovations and efficient management, the restaurant became well known in China, introducing the Peking Duck to the rest of the world.
By the mid-20th century, Peking Duck had become a national symbol of China, favored by tourists and diplomats alike. For example, Henry Kissinger, the Secretary of State of the United States, met Premier Zhou Enlai in the Great Hall of the People on July 10, during his first visit to China. After a round of inconclusive talks in the morning, the delegation was served Peking Duck for lunch, which became Kissinger's favourite. The Americans and Chinese issued a joint statement the following day, inviting President Richard Nixon to visit China in 1972. Peking Duck was hence considered one of the factors behind the rapprochement of the United States to China in the 1970s. Following Zhou's death in 1976, Kissinger paid another visit to Beijing to savor Peking Duck. Peking Duck, at the Quanjude in particular, has also been a favorite dish for various political leaders ranging from Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro to former German chancellor Helmut Kohl.
Raising the duck
The ducks used to prepare Peking Duck originated in Nanjing. They were small, had black feathers, and lived in the canals around the city linking major waterways. With the relocation of the Chinese capital to Beijing, supply barge traffic increased in the area. Often these barges would spill grain into the canals, providing food for the ducks. By the Five Dynasties, the new species of duck had been domesticated by Chinese farmers. Nowadays, Peking Duck is prepared from the Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos domestica). Newborn ducks are raised in a free range environment for the first 45 days of their lives, and force fed 4 times a day for the next 15–20 days, resulting in ducks that weigh 5–7 kg (11–15 lbs). The force feeding of the ducks led to an alternate name for the dish, Peking Stuffed Duck (simplified Chinese: 北京填鸭; traditional Chinese: 北京填鴨; pinyin: běijīng tián yā).
Fattened ducks are slaughtered, plucked, eviscerated and rinsed thoroughly with water. Air is pumped under the skin through the neck cavity to separate the skin from the fat. The duck is then soaked in boiling water for a short while before it is hung up to dry. While it is hung, the duck is glazed with a layer of maltose syrup, and the inside is rinsed once more with water. Having been left to stand for 24 hours, the duck is roasted in an oven until it turns shiny brown.
Peking Duck is traditionally roasted in either a closed oven or hung oven. The closed oven is built of brick and fitted with metal griddles (Chinese: 箅子; pinyin: bì zi). The oven is preheated by burning Gaoliang sorghum straw (Chinese: 秫秸; pinyin: shú jiē) at the base. The duck is placed in the oven immediately after the fire burns out, allowing the meat to be slowly cooked through the convection of heat within the oven.
The hung oven was developed in the imperial kitchens during the Qing Dynasty and adopted by the Quanjude restaurant chain. It is designed to roast up to 20 ducks at the same time with an open fire fueled by hardwood from peach or pear trees. The ducks are hung on hooks above the fire and roasted at a temperature of 270 °C (525 °F) for 30–40 minutes. While the ducks are cooking, the chef may use a pole to dangle each duck closer to the fire for 30 second intervals. Almost every part of a duck can be cooked. The Quanjude Restaurant even served their customers the "All Duck Banquet" in which they cooked the bones of ducks with vegetables.
The cooked Peking Duck is traditionally carved in front of the diners and served in three stages. First, the skin is served dipped in sugar and garlic sauce. The meat is then served with steamed pancakes (simplified Chinese: 春饼; traditional Chinese: 春餅; pinyin: chūn bǐng), spring onions and sweet bean sauce. Several vegetable dishes are provided to accompany the meat, typically cucumber sticks. The diners spread sauce, and optionally sugar, over the pancake. The pancake is wrapped around the meat with the vegetables and eaten by hand. The remaining fat, meat and bones may be made into a broth, served as is, or the meat chopped up and stir fried with sweet bean sauce. Otherwise, they are packed up to be taken home by the customers.
Whole Peking Ducks can be ordered as takeaways. The ducks can be reheated at home with an oven, grill or boiling oil. When an oven is used, the duck is heated at a temperature of 150 °C (300 °F) for 20 minutes, and then at 160 °C (325 °F) for another 10 minutes. The grilling method involves filling the duck with boiling water before placing it on a griddle, 70 cm (28 in) above the cooking fire. The boiling water is replaced every 3–4 minutes until the duck's skin is piping hot. To reheat the Peking Duck with oil, the duck is sliced into thin pieces and placed in a strainer held over a wok of boiling oil. The duck is then rinsed several times with the oil.
Notable restaurants
A number of restaurants in Beijing specialise in Peking Duck. Examples include Quanjude, Bianyifang, Changan Yihao (長安一號), Beijing Xiaowangfu (北京小王府) and Dadong Kaoyadian (大董烤鴨店). Some restaurants, in particular Quanjude and Bianyifang, have long histories of serving high quality duck that they are now household names, or laozihao (老字號), literally "old brand name". In addition, Quanjude has received worldwide recognition, having been named a China Renowned Trademark in 1999. Duck Chang's Restaurant, established in 1975 in Virginia, USA, was the first Chinese restaurant to prepare and serve Peking Duck without a 24 hour advanced notice.

Today marks the Anniversary of the Death of Queen Maria of Yugoslavia, who died on this day in 1961! The Romanian Princess who married the first Yugoslavia King that was assassinated and later became the mother of the last King of Yugoslavia before spending decades in exile in the United Kingdom, Queen Maria lived a fascinating life, and possessed an intriguing jewellery collection, which included this Cartier Diamond Eagle!
When Princess Maria of Romania married King Alexander of Yugoslavia in 1922, she received Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna's Emerald Tiara and Parure as a wedding gift from her husband, and soon afterwards the King gave her this spectacular double-headed Diamond Eagle made by Cartier. The double-headed eagle is one of the most important Serbian symbols and the Order of the White Eagle was one of the most important Yugoslavian Orders.
Queen Maria notably wore her Cartier Diamond Eagle suspended from a Diamond Chain she usually wore to extend her Emerald Necklaces, for the Wedding of her younger sister, Princess Ileana of Romania, to Archduke Anton of Austria in 1931.
Following King Alexander's assassination, Queen Maria retreated to England and Yugoslavia was represented by Prince Regent Paul and Princess Olga of Yugoslavia. Despite the contentious relationship between the two women, Queen Maria seems to have loaned her Cartier Diamond Eagle to Princess Olga for a Gala at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 1937, following the Coronation of King George VI, at which they were pictured with Queen Maria's nephew, King Michael of Romania.
By the 1960s, Queen Maria had been in exile for a few decades and her impressive personal fortune had dwindled. As personal property, the Cartier Diamond Eagle was not among the jewels, like Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna's Emerald Tiara and Parure, that were reluctantly handed over to her daughter-in-law, Queen Alexandra, and in 1960, Queen Maria wore the Diamond Eagle with Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna's Fringe Tiara for a series of promotional portraits before both jewels were auctioned.
The Auction Notes for the Diamond Eagle stated:
An important Diamond Corsage Ornament in the form of a double-headed eagle, pavé-set with cushion-shaped diamonds and with a fringe of larger stones pendent below. by Cartier
This Ornament was given to Her Majesty by her late hushand King Alexander, and was worn by her on all State occasions.
The Cartier Diamond Eagle was sold for 2,450 to 'Lublines' at Sotheby's on July 21st, 1960, and hasn't been publicly seen since. Its current whereabouts are unknown, but an almost identical Diamond Eagle Brooch from the family of Queen Maria's sister, Princess Ileana, was auctioned at Sotheby's in 2021.

Tunnel-making, boring war machine
|Physical and technical specifications|
|Usage and history|
Groundborers were large machines used for creating tunnels manufactured by Akin-Dower. They were used to provide a quick shelter on dangerous worlds. A group of wealthy Naddists purchased several for use in the Freedon Nadd Uprising, where Warb Null attacked the city of Iziz on Onderon using modified versions of the Akin-Dower groundborers. After this attack, they were known as Onderonian War Machines.

The Introvert Writer's Guide to Promoting Freelance Services

Published Oct 29, 2018
Many writers are introverts. And introverts make up 47 to 55 percent of the population. However, since most modern societies appreciate extroverts' traits more, namely aiming for the limelight and being outspoken, introverts must learn to navigate the world in order to succeed.
In this article, we'll discuss what being an introvert means and how an introverted writer can effectively promote freelance services without having to "pretend" to be an extrovert.
 1. Background
 2. First Things First: Understand the Strengths of Introverts
 3. Second, Recognize Your Strengths as a Writer
 4. Third, Set Up an Online Portfolio
 5. Fourth, Revise Your LinkedIn Profile
 6. Fifth, Develop Several Query Templates
 7. Sixth, Automate Your Business
 8. Conclusion
According to C.G. Jung, there are two significant types of personality: extroverts and introverts. The primary difference between the two is the source of their mental energy. Extroverts tend to be energized by social interaction, while introverts recharge their energy through solitude, tranquillity, and reflection.
This being said, their communication styles also differ. Extroverts are likely to be outspoken and decisive, while introverts are more reserved and tend to think before they speak.
Introverts are often misunderstood as being shy, which is actually a myth. Shyness is about fear and social anxiety, not about the source of inner energy. This explains why many public figures, including those whose jobs involve communicating with crowds, are introverts.
In other words, not all introverts are shy and not all shy people are introverts.
Now, if you're an introverted freelance writer, how can you grow your writing business? Because, most likely, you aren't that keen on going to business functions to introduce yourself while smiling from ear to ear and handing out your business card.
First Things First: Understand the Strengths of Introverts
Introverts often express themselves best through writing. That's because writing gives them the opportunity to analyze, edit, revise, and rewrite their thoughts before sharing them.
Of course, the level of "appropriateness" is relative from one introvert to another. According to MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), there are at least 8 types of introverts: ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, and INTP. Each type comes with its strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics that determine how they think, feel, make decisions, communicate, and build relationships with others.
Writing also allows introverts to communicate clearly without the pressure of face-to-face interaction. How an introvert's brain works is itself an advantage, as it enables the writer to be comprehensive in observation and expression.
Second, Recognize Your Strengths as a Writer
What are your strengths as a writer? They can be related to the genre, the subject, the topic, the angle, the viewpoint, or anything else. Perhaps you have impeccable grammar and an advanced vocabulary. Or, you can turn complex ideas into simple step-by-step explanations.
Whatever they are, show them off in your work. Always project the real you and your strengths in writing. After all, when you're comfortable with yourself, it shows in your writing and communication.
Third, Set Up an Online Portfolio
Create a simple website that showcases your writing portfolio. Remember to include live links to articles, e-books, or white papers, so they can be easily found, clicked, and read. Include a photo of yourself and a few paragraphs of your biography so your readers can learn more about you.
The key is to make your portfolio professional and up-to-date while reflecting your own individuality as a creative person. A good online portfolio can act as your 24/7/365 salesperson. Thus, it's crucial to design it well with clear navigation and simplicity.
Fourth, Revise Your LinkedIn Profile
Treat your LinkedIn profile as a second online portfolio. It's as essential as your writer's site. Storify the summary, expand each job description in a way that quantifies the workload, milestones, and achievements, while at the same time project your kindness as a human being. (This is actually an introvert's strength, as we tend to reflect, analyze, and present information in a well-structured format.)
You can earn an "All Star" profile if you include and update information on each sub-header, such as experience, education, volunteer experience, skills and endorsements, recommendations, accomplishments, and interests.
"All Star" profiles are likely to show up in search results, which can open up plenty of new and exciting opportunities. Also, make sure that you turn on the career interest option, so recruiters can easily find your digital resume for any writing-related position.
Fifth, Develop Several Query Templates
An introverted writer should take precautions against anything that drains his or her mental energy. One of the most effective ways is using templates for communication, particularly when sending queries. Create several different templates for each type of writing query.
For instance, if you write corporate blogs, journalism articles, and technical white papers, consider creating separate templates for each project type. For corporate blogs, you can create multiple templates based on the industry verticals targeted.
For journalism articles, you can develop several query templates based on the target readers, such as women's fashion magazines, parenting magazines, and vending machine trade magazines. For technical white papers, you can target each template for a specific industry type, such as fintech, IT, and blockchain technology.
Sixth, Automate Your Business
In this digital age, automation is an important part of doing freelance business. Use simple Typeform contact forms for preliminary client surveys so they can choose what services they need from you.
Next, you can connect it with Zapier, so you'll have a notification on your smartphone as soon as you receive a new contact. You can also nurture prospects with Drip or Mailchimp for automated e-mail responses, so you can spend more time reading and writing instead.
But don't go overboard with automation. It can feel less personal and "robotic." Make sure every e-mail is written as if you were talking to an intelligent friend. Just use a simple template, so it reads like it's sent by an individual, not a part of an automated drip e-mail marketing campaign.
Being an introverted freelance writer in this digital age is unprecedented. You don't need to attend tons of face-to-face events just to spread the word about your services. Instead, you can focus on completing assignments and brushing up your craft. Your website, LinkedIn profile, copied-and-pasted query templates, and business automation tools will continue to work on your behalf.
As long as you keep up with the latest technologies and humanize them with your writer's wit and charm, you can leverage a great deal. Today, despite being an introvert, promoting freelance writing services efficiently shouldn't be an issue.

Chain Reactions with Strawbees and Makey Makey
Gamify your chain reaction by using a Strawbees grabber connected to Makey Makey to start a timer in Scratch when you grab a conductive egg. Drop the egg on the Strawbees roller coaster track. When the egg rolls into the egg drop, it stops the timer.
Build Strawbees Inventions
 Build a roller coaster track and mechanical arm or grabber with Strawbees!
Some resources to get you started playing with these chain reaction elements:
The Strawbees roller coaster track tutorial
The Strawbees Mechanical Arm or Grabber
 Make sure you've printed this STL File to hold Makey Makey onto your Strawbees inventions. (Thank you Erik T for creating this 3D printing file!)
 Here is what our full project in action looks like!
 Code a Timer in Scratch and Recorder Variable
 To create a timer in Scratch, you'll want to create a variable and name it "Seconds timer." You need to code your timer to "set to 0" when the green flag is clicked.
 To have the timer start with a key press, use the "When up arrow is pressed" hat to trigger the timer. Place a "wait 1 sec" stacking block from the control palette in side a "forever" loop and attach a "change seconds timer by 1" to the "wait 1 sec block. Now Scratch will count up by 1 second forever! This is one quick and easy way to code your own timer.
 You'll want to use another key press to stop the timer. By placing the "if __ then" block underneath the "change timer by" block, you can tell Scratch what to do if another key is pressed. Find the "key pressed" sensing block in the sensing palette. This block checks to see if a specific key is pressed.
 So our code here is triggered by the up arrow and changes the timer by 1 every second forever unless the "space" key is pressed. If the "space key is pressed" then the timer script is stopped.

 To record the time it takes for your egg to drop, you need the following code to set the "record time." For fun we also added a cloud variable, so for now, our way to check if we need to "record the time" is set to record if it is less than the current longest time of our "longest time variable."
 See our full Scratch game here, and use the code pictures below to help you with your Scratch project.

 Make Strawbees Grabber into a Makey Makey Switch
 In this step, you are going to make your grabber into a Makey Makey switch! You'll wire one grabber to the "up arrow" to start the timer, and the other side of the grabber to "EARTH." When the two sides pick up the foil covered egg (or ball) it will complete the circuit and start the timer in Scratch.

 Making a Connection
 To wire the grabber, you'll use foil for the hands, and some conductive copper tape to create your wiring. Make sure the two copper traces never touch or you will accidentally set off your circuit. For the hinges, we left the backing on our tape so it could be flexible. (Like a bandaid!)
 Then hook one alligator clip to your straw and the "up arrow" and one alligator clip to the other connection and "EARTH."

 Create an Egg Drop Landing Switch
 Build your Egg drop lander however you want! Ours was designed by an 11 YO. To wire the landing bed as a switch, use two copper tape traces and connect some foil to the edge of your Strawbees landing pad. Make sure there is an air gap between the two flaps of foil. When the egg lands on the foil, it will press the two pieces together and trigger the "space key" on your Makey Makey.
 We used this STL file from Strawbees Inventor Erik Thorstensson to attach our Makey Makey to the Strawbees Egg drop landing pad.

 Connect Makey Makey to Scratch
 Plug in your USB and test your start and stop timer! Here is the whole project described and played during our webinar with Strawbees!
