Ferdinand Cheval Cheval's Palais idéal Ferdinand Cheval (born 1836 in Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, Drôme, France; died 19 August 1924) was a French postman who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives.[1][2][3] The Palace is regarded as an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.

Origins[edit] Ferdinand Cheval lived in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, in the Drôme département of France. He had left school at the age of 13 to become a baker's apprentice, but eventually became a postman.[1][2][3] Palais idéal[edit] The starting point: the unusually-shaped stone that Cheval tripped over Cheval began the building in April 1879. "I was walking very fast when my foot caught on something that sent me stumbling a few meters away, I wanted to know the cause. "I said to myself: since Nature is willing to do the sculpture, I will do the masonry and the architecture"[4][5] Burial[edit] Cheval's mausoleum. Cheval also wanted to be buried in his palace.

The Sagulator helps you design shelves by calculating shelf sag (deflection) given type of shelf material, shelf load, load distribution, dimensions, and method of attachment. You can also specify an edging strip to further stiffen the shelf.

See the notes below for usage tips. Notes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Tips for Managing Shelf Sag If shelf span is reduced by one-fifth, stiffness is roughly doubled (deflection is halved). Credits and References The Sagulator employs established engineering formulas for calculating beam deflection. Special thanks to Steve Stephenson for providing initial formulas and Jeff Bratt for his very helpful input (including the spiffy shelf diagram), and derivation of formulae for handling an edging strip. The Trauma Center at JRI. Alberto Santos-Dumont. Alberto Santos-Dumont (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐwˈbɛʁtu ˈsɐ̃tuz duˈmõ]; 20 July 1873 – 23 July 1932) was a Franco-Brazilian aviation pioneer. The heir of a wealthy family of coffee producers, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to aeronautical study and experimentation in Paris, France, where he spent most of his adult life.

Santos-Dumont designed, built, and flew the first practical dirigible, demonstrating that routine, controlled flight was possible. This "conquest of the air", in particular his winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on 19 October 1901 on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him one of the most famous people in the world during the early 20th century. Following his pioneering work in airships, Santos-Dumont constructed a heavier-than-air aircraft, the 14-bis. On 23 October 1906 he flew this to make the first heavier-than-air flight to be certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

Permaculture. With its system of applied education, research and citizen- led design permaculture has grown a popular web of global networks and developed into a global social movement[citation needed]. The term permaculture was developed and coined by David Holmgren, then a graduate student at the Tasmanian College of Advanced Education's Department of Environmental Design, and Bill Mollison, senior lecturer in Environmental Psychology at University of Tasmania, in 1978. [1] The word permaculture originally referred to "permanent agriculture",[3] but was expanded to stand also for "permanent culture", as it was understood that social aspects were integral to a truly sustainable system as inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka’s natural farming philosophy.

It has many branches that include, but are not limited to, ecological design, ecological engineering, regenerative design, environmental design, and construction. History[edit] Several individuals revolutionized the branch of permaculture. In Australian P.A. Support Overview. Tigers & Strawberries » Tasty Retro Holiday Spread: Bubbling Hot. I don’t have any clue the provenance of artichoke parmesan dip/spread. My suspicions are that it came into existence in the United States between the decades of the 1950′s and 1970′s, probably in a woman’s magazine, either as an article, or in an ad promoting the use of canned artichoke hearts to make an “elegant hot appetizer.” Lots of party recipes from that era were touted as being “elegant.” Elegant was in. I am not certain of how elegant artichoke parmesan is, really.

That all said–it is a very delicious dish, which is why when you look it up on Google, you find a bazillion different recipes, most of them variations on the same ur-recipe from back in the dawn of canned artichoke prehistory. Don’t get me wrong–I have made this recipe many times with water-packed canned artichoke hearts, and it has turned out quite well. If you do use canned artichoke hearts for this recipe, however, rinse them very well in warm water, and drain well before chopping them up.
